BIOGRAPHY
[UL:George and Eva Smith:UL][BO::BO]
George Jacob Smith fi rst met Eva Mable Goodale when they were both
students at Moorhead State Teach er's College.  While going to school,
Eva earned some of her spending money by babysitting for Harry
Halvorson, who would become her second husband many yea rs after the
death of George Smith.  George and Eva were married on June 8, 19 23.
After George received his teaching degree, they moved to Holt,
Minnesota. Eva taught at that time with a two-year teaching
certificate from Moorhead S tate College.  One of their favorite
pastimes in those early years was working difficult math problems
together.  In 1926 they moved to Birchdale, Minnesota with their
infant daughter Virginia.  Their house was a teacherage just acros s
the schoolyard from where George was teaching.  There were times when
Ginny and Viv, as young girls, would sneak up to the school and peek
in the windows where their Dad was teaching.  At one time he got so
upset with Eva for not w atching them more closely that he had them
tied by long ropes to a tree near t he house.
In 1930 they accepted teaching positions at a little two room schoo l
in Mina, South Dakota, near the town of Aberdeen.  Dorothy and the
twins, D on and Donna were added to the family during that time.  It
was very dry durin g that time, with many dust storms and Eva often had
to hang wet bath towels i n the windows to keep the dust out of the
house.  It was also a time when many bums traveled from door to door
begging for food and bands of gypsies roamed the countryside.  The
gypsy women wore long skirts with many pockets and stole many items
from local stores, hiding their stolen goods in the pockets.  In 1 933
they returned to Birchdale, Minnesota to live in the same house they
had left three years earlier.  George taught at Indus High School,
where he was Pr incipal, with four teachers under his supervision.  The
little house was actua lly built as a one bedroom home, but George was
able to partition off part of the living room to make room for the
five children.  They used gas and kerosen e lanterns for lighting and
had no running water.  The well, with a hand pump, was two blocks
away.  In the winter they would often melt snow for doing dish es and
washing clothes, but drinking water still needed to come from the
well .  Dorothy had a vivid memory of one very cold, subzero day when
her older sis ters dared her to stick her tongue to the pump handle.
It stuck firmly to the frozen metal and in a panic she pulled away,
leaving the top surface of her to ngue painfully behind.  The toilet
was an outhouse in the back yard.  The hous e was heated by wood, which
was provided as part of George's salary.
In 1941 they moved to Littlefork, Minnesota and lived in a house that
had been the fi rst hospital there.  This was the first time that they
had a home with electri city.  George was Superintendent of Schools and
also taught some classes.  Whe n he needed a teacher to fill a vacancy,
Eva began teaching after 19 years of being a housewife and mother.
In 1943 the family moved to 506 Stanton Ave. in Fergus Falls,
Minnesota.  This was a small home that George had inherited fro m his
father, Jacob Smith.  The house next door was owned by Jacob's
brother, Jackson.  George's mother, Tina Smith, lived upstairs with
his uncle and aunt .  At that time George accepted a job in Alaska,
working with his younger brot her Jake as an electrician at the Air
Base near Anchorage.  He sent home check s of $700 - $800 which was big
money in those last years of World War II.
Wi th the money that Eva was able to set aside, Virginia attended
college for two years at St. Cloud State College.  While going to
school, she worked at Montg omery Ward and the Atwood Book & Gift Shop.
She then repaid the school loan an d the money was used to send Vivian
to college for two years.  At that time tu ition, room and board cost
only $420 each quarte 1901 - 1981 Eva Mable Goodale 80 80 RFN18 Living Neuman Living Armstrong Living Armstrong Living Armstrong Living Neuman Living Neuman Living Neuman Living Neuman Living Berndt 1886 - 1969 Paul Fredrick Neuman 82 82 RFN28 1888 - 1967 Alvina Katrina Wilhemina Freda Roth 79 79 RFN29 1866 - 1938 Jacob George Smith 71 71 RFN30 1877 - 1956 Trientja (Tena) Beving 78 78 RFN31 1926 Virginia Mae Smith RFN32 1928 Vivian Marie Smith RFN33 D. 1998 Gerald Nordin RFN35 Living Nordin D. 1999 Arthur Ladwig RFN36 1866 - 1943 Clark Baker Goodale 76 76 RFN37 1875 - 1966 Anna Christine Witty 90 90 RFN38 Harry Halvorson RFN39 1830 - 1903 George Washington Goodale 72 72 RFN40 1839 - 1923 Phoebe Elvira Nichols 84 84 RFN41 1789 - 1872 David Goodale 82 82 RFN42 1788 - 1859 Elizabeth Brackett Welch 70 70 RFN43 1755 - 1842 Josiah Goodale 86 86 RFN44 1757 - 1840 Persis Babcock 83 83 RFN45 1808 - 1863 John Nichols 55 55 RFN46 1809 - 1893 Mary Chase 83 83 RFN47 Henry Carver RFN48 Myron Brackett RFN49 1844 - 1884 Henrich (Henry) Witty 40 40 RFN50

BIOGRAPHY
Jonathon and Keturah Goodale were second cousins, being the
great-grandchildren of Robert Goodell.  It is interesting to note that
two of their great-great grandchildren, George Washington Goodale and
Phoebe Elvira N ichols were also married 131 years later.
Jonathon Goodale, Sr. made his will in 1758, in which he says he is
going into the Expedition Against Canada.  He must have died soon
after, for his will was proved in 1759.  It mentions his sons,
Jonathon and Joseph and wife Keturah, who in the same year is put by
th e Selectmen, under the guardianship of one Josiah Wilkins, as a
person non com pos. 1701 Keturah Goodell RFN62 1670 - 1739 Isaac Goodell 69 69 Isaac (Jr.) Goodale5  was born March 29, 1670. He was a yeoman and a carpenter and he served in a military expedition against Canada in 1690. He married Mary Abbe  on December 21, 1692. (Mary Abbe was the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Knowlton) Abbe, born 1674. Samuel (1648-1690) was the son of John and Mary Abbe. Mary Knowlton was the daughter of William and Ann Elizabeth Knowlton).

Isaac (Jr.) and Mary Abbe Goodale had 11 children:

1. Isaac, married Deborah Hawkins, had 7 children
2. Jacob, his twin, died young
3. Samuel, married Anne Fowler, had 9 children
4. Hester, married first a Page, second, Elias Trask

BIOGRAPHY
In 1665 his father conveyed to Zachariah a portion of his estate
containing about one hundred acres lying northeast of the Goodell
homeste ad, and beyond the farm which he conveyed three years later to
his son, Isaac. Zechariah's final home, however, was the house built
by John Walcott and in his possession as late as 1700.  The farm on
which it was built was a part of the original Goodell grant, and it
may possibly have been only under lease to Walcott, as there are no
deeds to show the facts of the tenure.  The house, which has been the
victim of "modernization" was still standing in 1926.
The court records of 1672 tell the tragi-comic history of an incident
in the life of Elizabeth Beauchamp Goodell.  It appears that John
Smith, husband of her sister-in-law (also named Elizabeth), had for
years made somewhat crude and amorous advances toward her.  In a too
successful attempt to scandalize the gossips of the Village
neighborhood, she told several women, who came purposefully to ferret
out the details of the affair, a highly colored version of Smith's
conduct.  As a result she found herself the defendant in a suit for
slander brought by Smith, and both of them were hailed before the
magistrate for "uncivil carriage".  Smith lost his suit and was
sentenced to be whipped and to remain in goal until the sentence
should be carried out or pay a fine of forty shillings.  The whipping
was remitted, however, and the incident closed with a confession by
Elizabeth that she was "heartily sorry for her foolish words."
Zachariah disposed of his property to his sons by a series of deeds
between 1708 a nd 1715.  In the latter year he conveyed his homestead
to his son David in consideration of support and care of himself and
his wife for the remainder of th eir lives.  David died two years later
and nothing more appears to show where his parents, then about
seventy-five years of age, spent their last years. 1646 - 1696 Elizabeth Beauchamp 50 50 RFN68

William and Elizabeth Goodell, the grandparents of Robert were probably members of the Godelle or Goodelle family, French Huguenots
who emigrated to London in the 1530's.  Huguenots were Protestant followers of John Calvin during the 1500's and 1600's.  It's members
were persecuted in France and suffered greatly.  In all, eight wars were fought between the Huguenots an d French Catholics between 1562
and 1598 in their struggle for survival.  Although the protestants had the support of many French leaders and nobility, the queen mother,
Catherine de Mâedicis made a compact with the Duke of Guise which resulted in the Massacre of Saint Bartholomew's Day on August 24,
1572, whe n thousands of Huguenots were slaughtered.  During this period of per-secution more than two million of the Huguenots left
France to seek a more friendly at mosphere.  The Goodells were among that number who emigrated to England.  The name appears as Goodell, Goodale, Goodall, or according to the late Rev. Isaac Goodell, as "some other of the 18 variations".  We find the historian Bowen and other genealogists call him Goodell, while the historian Perly calls him Goodale.

Although his birth year was given as 1604 in his oath of allegiance when sailing for America, one of Robert's descendants has verified the
church baptisimal record as 1601.  The "Elizabeth" left Ipswich, England on April 30, 1634 and landed at Boston in July.  At that time,
Robert Goodell was 30, his wife Katherine was 28, their daughter Mary 4 years old, their son Abraham was 2 and their baby, Isaac was 6
months old.  The first record of the Goodells in America indicated that they settled just north of Salem at Great Cove in the North Fields.
The Spring, so often mentioned in the early records, in what was later called Liberty Hill Park, was on Robert Goodell's farm and was
known for the first half century of  Salem's history as Goodell's Spring.  It is not recorded how he acquired this first farm.  However,
in 1636 and in 1638 he received grants of twenty acres each in that portion of the town which became known as Salem Village, and he
gradually acquired by purchase similar grants ma de to other early settlers, until by 1651, he was the owner of a tract of land at Bald
Hill comprising four hundred and eighty acres, which was con-firmed to him by a town grant on November 7, 1651.  He probably moved to this new property at about that time, and as opportunity offered, disposed of his Great Cove farm, deeding the house and a portion of the land to his son-in-law, John Smith in 1658.  Another lot was conveyed to Nicholas Manning in 1667, and a third conveyance was probably made to John Orne, who owned a part of the property , hitherto unconveyed in 1684.

Robert Goodell seems to have devoted his life to the developement of his large grant for the benefit of his sons and daughters.  As they
married, he gave them a generous acreage as a wedding gift, thus creating a family settlement about his own homestead.  Although his
clear fi rm handwriting would seem to indicate a good education, he took no part in loc al or broader governmental affairs and his name
seldom appears in the records in any active capacity except as plaintiff or defendant in suits based on the ownership of his stock or
land.

His will reads as follows, "I, Robert Goodell being now aged & weake in body, as alsoe my wife and my daughter Elizabeth Bennett, hath
taken care of me and therefore my will & desire is & I doe will & bequeath unto my daughter Elizabeth Bennett & my grand child, John
Smith, m y house & the orchard & all the meadowes that I now possess with the pasture which is about eight acres of upland be it more or

Whether the house in question satisfied the "prenuptual" arrangement that Robert had with Margaret remains to be investigated. At the time of their marriage, he had agreed to "settle on her twelve acres of land, a new dwelling house which I doe intend, God welling, shortly to build and two cowes & a horse or mare fitt for her to ride on." This property was to have gone to Robert's son Jacob at the death of his step - mother, though Jacob died without issue prior to the date of the will.

On February 10, 1667/8 Robert Goodell conveyed to his son, Isaac, a portion of his property at Bald Hill in Salem Village, containing one
hundred acres, and he built a house thereon which was still standing in 1926, and which descended from father to son until the year 1915.
He died intestate and his widow and his brother-in-law, John Pease, were appointed to administer his estate.  The inventory was taken
October 23, 1679 by Nathaniel Felton and Job Swinerton and showed property value at ¹ 192:7.  The estate was not final ly settled until
many years later in 1693 when the eldest son, Isaac became a dministrator, taking the place of Captain Pease who died at that time. Follow ing the death of Isaac, his widow married James Stimson of Reading sometime be fore 1684.  Mr. Stimson died in 1691.  Patience

One is reported by a research bureau in Washington, D.C. and supported by Dr. Robert L. Goodale of Ipswich, Mass.:

      The name is of Norse origin. There was a Goodel de Brixi who came from Normandy with Edward the Confessor before 1066. The Goodalls were a very early family in the British Isles, stemming from members living in Goldale, now Gowdall, a town in the parish of Snaith, Yorkshire. They were of the landed gentry and yeomanry.

      Among the earliest definite records are those of Villa de Goldale, Johannes or John Godhale, Recardus or Richard de Goldall, and Johannes or John Godhall of Yorkshire, in the year 1379. In the class of 1470 at Oxford was a Richard Goodale (recorded in the library of Merton College). Listed at the head of his class, the name was `Godyle.'

It is true that in early times very little attention was given to the spelling of names, and during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, there was no fixed authority for the spelling of either `proper' names or surnames.1

The other theory is advanced by Professor Isaac Goodell of Ft. Worth, Texas, after much study:

      Robert Goodell is claimed to be of French Hugenot descent. `Goodelle' is the French origin of our family name and this spelling is yet found in Paris and a number of smaller towns in France. Later, one of our ancestors emigrated to Scotland, and about 1580, as tradition goes, a Goodelle family (Robert's grandfather) moved from Scotland to London. The name of Goodelle was Anglicized to Goodell, then Goodale and later Goodall in the coastal counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, England. Baptiste Goodell, supposed to be a son of that family and uncle to Robert, made his first appearance as an actor with William Shakespeare in Henry VI before Queen Elizabeth in 1589.

The name is significant of family occupation as may be inferred from the coat-of-arms of the Scottish families, described as follows:

      `Arms: On 3 caps and in the middle fesse point as many ears of barley, two in saltire, and one in pale of the last.

      Crest: A silver cup PPR, motto Good God increase'

1 This was also true in early America. The record of Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution gives no less than 16 different spellings of the name Goodale, many times with reference to the same man in the same document.

At any rate, to be found recorded in the Parish Records of Dennington, Suffolk County, England, are the following:

      Marriages: 1590 12 June Robert Goodale and Joan Artys

      Baptisms: 1601 15 Aug. Robert, son of Robert and Joan Goodale

Other children of this couple whose baptisms are recorded also are Mary, 1591; Margaret, 1593; William, 1596; Anne, 1599; Edward, 1603; Elizabeth, 1607; and Thomas, 1610.

King James had succeeded Queen Elizabeth in 1603, followed by King Charles in l625. One of the first acts of King Charles on his ascension to the throne, that caused a storm of indignation throughout the country was the imposition of a forced loan without the grant of Parliament. The imposition of ship money was the final measure that drove thousands to America.

In the 9th year of the reign of King Charles, 1634, Robert Goodell3 and wife Katherine Kilham (daughter probably of Henry and Alice Goodale Kilham) sailed from the port of Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, on April 30 on the ship `Elizabeth,' Capt. William Andrews, Master. With them were daughter Mary, 4, and sons Abraham, 2, and Isaac `age one-half year.'

The Goodall Crest

They landed in Salem, Massachusetts, where Robert purchased 543 acres of land from the town of Salem and Danvers. That same year he received a grant of 40 acres from the town of Salem, between Ipswich River, Redding Road and the Newburyport turnpike. In 1652 the town laid out to him 504 acres.

Children born in Salem to Robert and Katherine were Zachariah, 1638; Jacob, 1640; Hannah, 1642; and Sarah, 1645. In 1646 Katherine died and Robert married Margaret Larraby in 1647, by whom he had one daughter, Elizabeth.

Robert seems to have devoted his life to the development of his large grant for the benefit of his sons and daughters to whom, as they married, he gave generous acreages as wedding gifts, thus creating a family settlement about his own homestead. His firm, clear handwriting would indicate a good education, but he took no part in governmental affairs and his name seldom appears in the records in any capacity except as plaintiff or defendant in suits based on the ownership of his land and stock. On August 30, 1669, he made a settlement on his second wife, Margaret: "12 acres of land, a new dwelling house, two cowes and a horse or mare fitt for her to ride on." He died and his will was proved June 27, 1683—he left his estate to his daughter Elizabeth and his grandson, John Smith. Wife Margaret was mentioned as having already been provided for, as were his other children. ~1570 - 1610 Joan Artys 40 40 RFN78 Margaret Lazenby RFN79

PHILIP  CHASE  -  Blacksmith and Innholder
On 15 September 1 731, Philip Chase bought a farm in Sutton, Massachusetts from E. Johnson for t he sum of ¹1,100 current money.  He
probably settled in Sutton soon after, as records show that in February 1732 he received pay for work done on highways in 1731.  On
25 January 1732 a town meeting was held at his home.  A receipt dated Ipswich, 10 May 1738, signed by James McHard, for money received by the hand of Thomas Follansbee for Wm. Follansbee.  A receipt was given, signed by Philip and Mary Chase, which is as follows: "Newbury, July 5, 1755.  Then recei ved of William Follansbee two pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence lawful money, in full of a legise which was given to Mary Chase by her honored fathe r Thomas Follansbee, in his last will and testament. Received by us."

Plank Tavern / The Old Sutton Tavern

Notes from the History of Sutton, 1878

The building, one of the most ancient landmarks of Sutton, known in early times as the "Plank Tavern," and in later years as the old Sutton Tavern, was built about the year 1727 by Philip Chase. ... in 1724 he moved into Sutton. After his death his son Follansbee came into the possession of the tavern, paying the other heirs their portion. After the decease of Follansbee it came into possession of Thomas Follansbee Chase, who occupied it as a residence until the year 1800, when he removed to Paris, Maine. The tavern in its construction differed for the ordinary buildings of the period.

As will be seen by the engraving that represents it as it originally appeared, the siding consists of thick oak planks nailed perpendicularly to the frame, and at each end of the upper corners the planking is placed diagonally, for the purpose of giving additional strength in bracing the buildilng. The clapboards were not added until a later period. They were cloven by hand and fastened by hand-made nails, cut nails being then unknown.

The chimney was massive in size, and the fire-places throughout the building were of ample dimensions. The foundation of the chimney, laid with huge stones, occupied nearly one-third of the cellar. The interior was double-lathed and plastered, rendering it a remakrably warm house in coldest weather.

The windows had glass 6x8 inches, and the sash were of unequal size, the upper ones contianing eight lights and the lower ones twelve. The building was owned by different members of the Chase family upward of three-quarters of a century. The portrait is from a silhouette likeness of Thomas Follansbee Chase, the last one of the family to whom it beloned. He sold it to Paul and Luther Whiting, from whom it passed into the possession of M. M. Hovey, and from him was purchased by the present owner, Mr. S.B. Holbrook, who was recently removed the building a short distance to the rear of its original location. Tradition tells us that the old tavern was a noted gathering place previous to and during the war for independence, but history supplies little information respecting the scenes and incidents that transpired there.

BIOGRAPHY
Thomas and Sarah Follansbee lived in Portsmouth, England from 1665 to 1671.  At some time prior to 1677 they came to Newbury, Massachusetts with four of their children - Thomas, Francis, Hannah and Sarah.  The two elder daughters must have come on another ship very shortly thereafter, for Rebecca married Thomas Chase in November of that year. Anne married Moses Chase, the youngest brother of Thomas, seven years later.
[BO:[UL:The Follansbee Fami ly:UL]:BO]
The first recorded mention of the name Follansbee was a knight by  the name of Sir Follansbee who accompanied William the Conqueror from Normandy to England in 1066.  The Follansbee coat of arms is a beehive and a swarm of bees.  The name originated from Followingbees, Followbees, Follansbee.  A grea t estate of 702 acres was given to him by Wm. the Conqueror in the county of Durham, where Follansbee Hall was later built and maintained by the heirs and d escendants.  There is now a village by the name of Follansbee which became established on the estate grounds, located near the town of Durham.  In the end, one of these descendants had a quarrel with his 3 or 4 sons who left home never to return.  When the father died, no heir could be found so the government took it into their hands.
In 1750 the land came into the possession of three men, recorded as Redhead, Esq., Mathew Russell, Esq. of Browspith Castle, and Thomas Wade, Esq.  This transfer of entitlement has long been held in dispute  by many descendants of the Follansbee clan in England and America, who learned of its passing out of the family several years after the fact.

In the early 1850's and 1860's an earnest case was pursued by a consortium of Follansbee hei rs to reclaim the family estate, but to no
avail. Several legal documents wer e revealed in the effort to obtain information about the above questioned estate.  Among these was a will noted in London, England on 16 March 1619 from William Follansbee to his wife, Frances and his brother, Robert of all the goods, chattels, effects and credits of the said William Follansbee, and an inventory was annexed to the bond of administration.  Also, a Thomas Follansbee, by his will dated at Rockwood Hill, in the Parish of Hasten, April 12th, 1630, beq ueathed several legacies to his children Robert, Henry, John, William, Grace, Alice, and William Hodgeson, and all other effects to his wife, Margaret, who he appointed sole executrix to this will.  The will of Robert Follansbee, date d 12 April 1676 bequeathed legacies to his son George and his daughter Jane. George Follansbee also left a will dated 16 June 1690, bequeathing his honorable furniture , &c, and appointing Anna Wilkinson executrix.

A certain Thomas and William Follansbee are said to have come to America from Derbyshire, Engla nd in 1642.  William returned to England and became a stockholder in the East India Company, and went to India in the employ of the company, where he was very successful.  His relation to the American branch of the Follansbee family is not clearly established.

The first record of the Follansbee name in the American colonies was from "Thomas Follansbee, of Newbury, to one Stephen Greenle af,
Feb. 16th, 1690, half of 5 acres, it being the rate lot."   It seems that he had bought land, but his deed or deeds were not put upon
record.  The seco nd deed was to "Thomas Follansbee from Moses Chase, his brother-in-law, November 21st, 1698, in the tenth year of his
majesty's reign."  The third deed found was from "Thomas Huse, Thomas Bancroft, wives and others, to Thomas Follansbee, Dec. 14th, 1700; the rate lot, 11 acres; the year of the reign of King Wil liam, the Third."

Thomas Follansbee is said to have lived at Portsmouth from 1665 to 1671, at which time he moved to Newbury, Massachusetts. There is
record of a deed of Thomas Follansbee to his son-in-law, Thomas Chase in 1711.

Thomas Follansbee's occupation was described in old records as a "joiner" or carpenter. He finished the Portsmouth church and schoolhouse, where he is first recorded as living in New England. In 1671 he moved from Great Island to Strawberry Bank where he rented a house from Abraham Corbett. The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire describes his experience there as follows, "when Mr. Henry Dering, also removing to Strawberry Bank, hired the same house under a better title, whereupon the sheriffs turned Thomas Follansbee out without notice in the depth of winter with no habitation provided for his wife and many small children." He moved from Portsmouth to Newbury, MA about 1677.310  In 1711, Thomas Follansbee, "joiner" sold his homestead in Newbury to his son-in-law Thomas Chase, house carpenter. Chase in turn sold the same property to his son Aquila in 1713. ~1640 - 1683 Sarah 43 43 1624 - 1674 John Bond 50 50 RFN100 1630 Hester Blakely RFN101 1597 - 1659 Thomas Bond 62 62 OCCUPATION: A malster of Bury St. Edmunds, Soffolk, England.

This book contains the history and genealogy of the Leonard family of Massachusetts.
Bibliographic Information: Leonard, Lewis Keeler. Seven Hundred Ancestors.        Privately Published. 1975.

The Chase Family is said to be of Norman origin - the name being derived from the French word "chasseur" (to hunt). As early as
1326 families of Chase resided in Suffolk, England.  The family which came to America was from Hundrich Parish of Chesham,
Buckinghamshire, some thirty miles northwest from London.  This is indicated in the records of the Herald's Visitation 1634,
Buckinghamshire.
It is thought that Thomas and Aquila Chase having a knowledge of navigation, were in the employ of their uncle, Thomas Chase, who
was part owner of the "John and Francis"' which was named in a letter of Marque in 1626.
The Chase name is so rare in England, it is assumed the flower of the family emigrated to America. They were by nature enterprising
and high minded people. Released from the trammels of aristocracy and conservatism of the old country, on entering into the breath and
freedom of new circumstances, they at once took the front rank in the new world.  Chase arms:  Gules four crosses, flory, two and two, on a canton azure with a lion passont of the second order.  Crest:  a demi-lion rampant holding the cross of the shield gules.
Motto:  Ne cede malis.
Thomas Chase of Chesham, England was born about 1400 and was descended from an ancient family there. We have a record of one son.
He was named John and he had a son Mathew born about 1486. He was also of Chesham.

Aquila, son of Aquila Chase and the American immigrant, was born in England in 1618.  He was a mariner, probably emplyed by his uncle or brother, Thomas Chase, who was in 1626 part owner of the ship "John and Francis".  He was of Hampton as early as 1640; removed to Newbury in 1646, when he had four acres granted for a house lot and six acres of marsh, on condition that he go to sea and to service in the town with a boat for four years.  He was also a shipmaster.   He and his wife and David Wheeler were fined "for gathering pease on the Sabbath," but were admonished and the fine remitted, September, 1646.  He died December 27, 1670.  His will was dated September 19, 1670.

Aquila Chase married, about 1644, Anne Wheeler of Hampton, New Hampshire, daughter of John and Anne Wheeler, who came to Hampton from Salisbury, England with two children, David and Anne.  John Wheeler died in 1670, and his wife died August 15, 1662.  Mrs. Chase married (second) June 14, 1672, James Mussiloway.

BIOGRAPHY
LIEUTENANT PHILIP CHALLIS
Philip Watson-Challis was born a bout 1617, and in 1637 he received a house lot at Ipswich, in the Massachusett s Bay Colony, where records show that he was a "planter."  The land comprised of three acres of planting ground at the Reedy Marsh on the South side of the Merrimack River.  In 1640 he moved to Salisbury, where he was one of the "first settlers", being among those who had "lotts and proportions granted by the town of Colchester", now called Salibury, in the land division of 7 September 1639.  His house lot was one acre of upland between the lots of Josiah Cobham and John Hodges, and his meadow lands fell between the lots of John Hodges and John Severance. The next year, John Severance was granted a parcel of salt marsh to make up for his meadow, which was allowed to Philip Challis.    He was a member of the Salisbury Church in 1677, as was his widow as late as 1687.  H is name is listed in most of the early Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts  records.
When Nathaniel Ward was granted his farm of 600 acres near Pantucket , Philip Challis was one of three men chosen to lay the lot lines.  On 25 Jan uary 1644, Philip Challis was ordered by the town to run his fence on the nort hwest side of his house lot.  In an apparent
disagreement over the placement o f the fence, on 21 Febrary 1646 the town ordered that the fence between Samuel Fellows and Philip Challis' house should be set up "in the same place where it was want to stand."
Philip was a man of standing and education, and was one of the men named as freemen of Salisbury in November 1645.  He held offices of
trust in Salisbury, including service as one of the "prudential men," repeatedly from 1646 through 1680 and early became a lieutenant of the military company of Salisbury.  He was on the committee to create the bounds between Salisbury and Hampton on 18 October 1648 and
participated in the division of common lands in 1651.  That year he was the only contra vote when the town decided to divide the Ox
Common.  He drew lots #13 in the Great Swamp, #7 on the River and on 2 March 1662/3 he recieved 40 acres, 50 acres and 200 acres in
Salisbury.  He received more land in 1654, 1658 and later, "children's land" for his son in 1659, and a "township" for one of his sons in
1660.
It is said that P hilip Challis was a well-respected man with an eye for detail.  He was chosen Lieutenant of the foot company of Salisbury
in 1658, but refused the office be cause it was "not properly offered." In the same vein, on 16 May 1667, Challis refuse to sign the return of
a committee appointed to run the bounds for Haverhill because he had not received his pay.
Salisbury decided to set off a portion of its lands and created a "new towne" in 1665.  Philip Challis was one of those who signed the
articles of agreement separating the two towns.  It was originally called "Salisbury Newtowne", but in 1668 it was named "Amesbury." In
June, 1680, he was discharged from the "foot company" of Salisbury and appointed "Leftenant" to the military company of Amesbury.
Although the circumstances of Philip Chalis' death are uncertain, he must have had a foreshadowing of his end, for on 10 March 1680, his
was the first signature on a petition to the General Court regarding the replacement of a military officer for the town of Amesbury.  In
this way he passed the baton to his friend and long-time associate, Sgt. Samuel Foot, who was appointed lieutentant in Challis' place.

13. WILLIAM SARGENT [William Sergant]. At Ipswich 1633, Newbury 1635, Salisbury 1639, Amesbury 16 55-75.  He and Thomas Bradbury married sisters, daughters of John Perkins of Ipswich. Sargent's first wife, Elizabeth Perkins, is said to have been b orn in 1618.
Concerning Sargent's own age there is some dispute. One  account says he was born in 1598, and another says the year of his
birth was 1 602. There seems no reliable testimony as to what part of England he came from , though the author of the Sargent Record (1899) believes he came from the Wes t of England.73 In his will, dated 14 March, 1671-2, and proved at Salem in 16 75, he calls himself a
"seaman".74 The exact date of his death is not given on the town records, but he was living on 1 July, 1673,75 and dead before 14
Ap ril, 1675,76 when his will was proved. William Sargent never lived at Hampton, removing to Salisbury, and finally settling in that part
which became Amesbur y. For his descendants, vide Hoyt's Salisbury and Amesbury Families, Vol. I, p p. 310-4; and Sargent Record (1899).

The following interesting bit of family history we take from an issue of the Salisbury (Massachusetts.) Villager (1876): "Wednesday night the Riverside Lodge of this village made public their installation of officers in Sargent Hall, after which friends and invited guests partook of a bountiful supper. The Sargents are a numerous family in this town, and are large owners of real and personal estate. William Sargent, one of twelve men who settled in Ipswich, in 1633, subsequently went to Newbury, and thence to Amesbury in 1643, where he died in about 1675, aged seventy-three. He was the founder of the family name in this town.

Excerpt from "William Sargent and His Descendants in America" ...He came to America on the Ship Lion in 1633 with John Winthrop and his company of Puritans and landed at Massachusetts, possibly Charlestown. They began a common type of living, with all working together for a common purpose, but not to the point of common money affairs. t hey each worked at his original tade, that they had followed in England, and began to build a new life in America. William married after he reached America, and had many children, among which was Thomas and the line that we follow down to our Sargeant... Ms. Norma M. Hutson

Anderson's GMB
According to the "Sargent Record" by E. E. Sargent (1899), William died in Amesbury,Massachusetts. and is buried there at the "Ferry". Elizabeth arrived in America aboard the ship Lion in the spring of 1631. The writer states that william and Elizabeth were both in Agawam (Ipswich) prior to 1633 and that they probably married there in 1633. there is apparently no record of the marriage. The Sargent Record says william married Joanna Rowell Sept. 18, 1670.

Excerpted Biography of William Sargent
c. 1606 - 1675

William Sargent, described as an able seaman, was born 28 June 1606 in Bath, Somerset, England. He came to America on the Ship Lion in 1633 with John Winthrop, Governor of the new colony, and his company of Puritans. The flotilla was comprised of 4 ships with four hundred people who set out to the new continent on April 7, 1630. The immigrants were mostly Puritians and were carefully selected by Winthrop. He and his party arrived two months later in Salem, Massachusetts. The settlers could scarcely believe their eye's as the land was a total wilderness; except for a few huts and clearings made by previous settlers. The thought's of having to clear the land in order to raise crops and supply themselves in the coming winter was frightening. With food provisions running low, and many suffering from malnutrition, scores of the new settlers refused to get off the ships and decided to sail back to England immediately. Those who landed faced what seemed to be an insurmountable task. Through faith in God, perseverance, hard work, and the leadership of John Winthrop, William Sargent along with 800 of 1000 new settlers survived the first winter by carving caves in the hillsides and digging holes in the ground. When spring arrived another 200 would return to England.

The colony was moved away from Salem, someplace where they would have room to build houses and raise crops. The colony settled largely in Charlestown, Cambridge, Boston, Watertown, Roxbury and Dorchester. William Sargent took his family north where they would settle in Ipswich, Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts. Elizabeth, who would become the wife of William Sargent, arrived in America aboard the ship Lion in the spring of 1631. William and Elizabeth were both in Agawam (Ipswich) prior to 1633. William Sargent was one of the first to plant at Ipswich, Massachusetts. It is believed they married there in 1633. There is apparently no record of the marriage.

In a grant at Ipswich in 1634, William Sargent received twelve acres of land [ITR].
"Willi[am] Sergant" was in the list of petitioners, mostly Newbury men, headed by STEPHEN BACHILER, who on 6 September 1638 were granted "liberty to begin a plantation at Winnacunnet [Hampton]" [MBCR 1:236]. "Will[iam] Sargent" was in the section of married men in the list of first comers to Hampton [GDMNH 55].William Sargent was admitted to the Massachusetts Bay Church before May 22, 1639. Also he is recognized as one of the founders of Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.

The following was taken from an issue of the Salisbury (Massachusetts.) Villager (1876): "Wednesday night the Riverside Lodge of this village made public their installation of officers in Sargent Hall, after which friends and invited guests partook of a bountiful supper. The Sargents are a numerous family in this town, and are large owners of real and personal estate. William Sargent, one of twelve men who settled in Ipswich, in 1633, subsequently went to Newbury, and thence to Amesbury in 1643. William Sargent died in 1675 in Amesbury,Massachusetts. He is buried there at the "Ferry". William's burial place is located on Rocky Hill Road near Amesbury, Massachusetts. He was the founder of the family name in this town. 3 MAR 1609/10 - ~1669 Elizabeth Perkins RFN122 1575 - MAR 1673/74 Richard Sargent RFN123 1573 - 1609 Katherine Stevens 35 35 RFN124 1583 - 1654 John Perkins 70 70 John Perkins was born December 23, 1583 during the reign of Elizabeth I in Hilmorton County, Warwickshire, England and married Judith Gator ( born in 1588) on October 8, 1608.Record of John and Judith's marriage is on file at the Hillmorton Parish(still standing) in England. John Perkins and his wife, Judith Gator sailed on a ship named the Lyon from Bristol December 1, 1630. The ship landed in Boston February 5, 1631, Boston was only founded months earlier in 1630. Also on this ship was a man named Roger Williams who was later to found the colony of Rhode Island. Also with John were their six children: John, Elizabeth, Mary, Ann, Thomas and Jacob. Times were hard for the colonists who were already there, in ANNALS OF NEW ENGLAND, Volume 1, the following is related:" As the winter came on provisions in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were very scarce and the people fed on clams, mussels, ground nuts and acorns, they became very discouraged especially when they heard that Governor himself has the last batch of bread in the oven. A day of fasting and prayer was set for February 6, 1631. On February 5, the day before the appointed fast, in came the ship LYON, this was an occasion of joy as the ship contained provisions and the day for fast and prayer was changed to the 22d to be celebrated as a day of thanksgiving for the arrival of the LYON." This is one of the possible origins of Thanksgiving as the colonists would not have survived long except for the arrival of the provisions on the ship. The records of Hillmorton, Warwickshire contain the records of John Perkins baptism, marriage and the births of his six children in the Shire Hall in Warwick. This information is from PERKINS FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1790 by D.W. Perkins published in 1911. Many people especially Puritans, who supported Parliament against the King and were known as Roundheads because of their short haircuts, left England at this time, due to the tyranny of the king, Charles I. In 1628, he reluctantly agreed to the Petition of Right, which was a document that limited the power of the king. He had no intention of keeping the agreement and did not allow Parliament to meet from 1629 to 1640. Charles I was deposed by Oliver Cromwell, a leader in Parliament, and was beheaded in 1649. By the time of the rise of Cromwell, many Englishmen had already populated New England. Upon Charles I death, England became a republic, the Commonwealth of England and Parliament ruled the country. In 1629, John Winthrop, became governor of the Massachusetts Bay Company and in 1630 sailed to Salem. About a thousand settlers followed him to America. He and about 800 Puritans crossed the Charles River in 1630 and founded Boston on a peninsula that the Indians called Shawmut. He helped establish a Congregational church. The number of Englishmen departing for the colonies dwindled once England became a republic in 1649. For about two years after their arrival, the Perkins family remained in Boston, where their last child, Lydia was born, her baptism is recorded in the parish books of the First Church in Boston, June 3, 1632. On the 18th of May, 1631, John took the oath of freeman, admitting him to all the civil rights of the colony only enjoyed by freemen. He moved from Boston in 1633 to the colony at Ispwich, founded by John Winthrop, Jr. John Winthrop Jr. was a colonial governor of Connecticut. He came to America in 1631. In 1633, he founded the town of Ispwich, Mass. He returned to govern a new colony in Saybrook, Conn. By 1640, Massachusetts Bay Colony had 2,500 people. He founded New London in 1646 and later served as governor of Connecticut. John Perkins was largely engaged in agriculture, his house was near the river at the entrance to Jeffries Neck on what is now East Street. John Perkins besides holding town offices and occupying other positions of trust, appears to have been one of the leading men of Ipswich. He died in 1654, aged 64 years. His will is on file at the Probate office in Salem, Massachusetts. 19 MAR 1587/88 - 1654 Judith Elizabeth Gater RFN126 ~1550 - 1574 George Stevens 24 24 RFN127 ~1555 Amy Clerke RFN128 ~1545 - 11 MAR 1607/08 Henry Perkins RFN129 ~1541 - 1603 Elizabeth Sawbridge 62 62 RFN130 ~1550 - 1591 Michael Gater 41 41 RFN131 ~1550 - 1608 Elizabeth Isabel Bailey 58 58 RFN132 1530 William Bailey RFN133 ~1525 - 23 MAR 1590/91 Thomas Perkins RFN134 ~1527 - 1618 Alice Kebble 91 91 RFN135 ~1519 - 1590 William Sawbridge 71 71 RFN136 ~1127 - <1217 Josce De Flete 90 90 ~1484 - 1546 Henry Perkins 62 62 RFN138 Mary RFN139 ~1459 - 1528 Thomas Perkins 69 69 Thomas Perkins married Alys and died April 21, 1528,.

During this time Richard II was King, during his reign in 1381, a blacksmith named Wat Tyler led a peasants' revolt against forced labor and heavy taxation. Following the rebellion, Richard tried to rule without Parliament. The English people by this time had become used to certain rights contained in the Magna Carta signed in 1215 by King John. Richard II governed so badly that the country turned against him and he was forced to give up the throne.

GEERT SMIDT (GEORGE SMITH)
NOTE:  Geert Smidt came to Amer ica with his parents in the autumn of 1856 at the age of 17.  They settled in Ogle County, Illinois near the
town of Forreston.  He then Americanized his na me to George Smith.  We have no record of George's schooling.  Although his fa ther continued to make and mend shoes, George learned how to dress and cut up beef very well.  It was an ability he taught to his sons, as carried on by Jacob and Jackson.  In early 1866, at the age of 27, George married Matilda Taalke Kruger of Forreston, a bride of 18 who had also been born in the same area of Germany as his family.  There are still reunions of the Smith-Kruger families every summer near Sibley, Iowa.

After a number of years, the George Smith family moved to the vicinity of Sheldon, Iowa, where they farmed for many years .  He also did butchering of beef and pork as a side-line income.  George was known as a meticulous farmer, with one of the finest looking farmsteads in the area.  The lawn was beautifully kept, with lovely flowerbeds and a vine-cove red porch.  A large strawberry bed was a particular attraction for relatives. He had a reputation for well-formed grain stacks.  He measured distances care fully and his sons learned how to throw bundles so he could lay them with precision.  When a stack was completed he had a large wooden-toothed rake with which he combed and combed them until every straw was in place.  He retired in 1909 and lived in Sheldon for his last ten years.

Jacob and Fannie spent most of their life on farms while George and Jackson farmed a few years each.  Chris and Clara taught rural
schools and later worked for many years in postal employ.  Jackson was a livestock dealer, George a postal worker and Albert a cabinet maker.  Charlotte was kicked in the abdomen by a horse when she was 15 and died as a result.  Nancy married a carpenter contractor.  Etta never married but made a loving home for her brothers when needed, also for Clara, and her mother when she became ill.  George Smidt died at his home in Sheldon of the complications of old age after a lengthy illness.

[BO:[UL:The Story of Jakob Smidt:UL]:BO]
     Jakob Smidt was bo rn at Rorichum, Ostfriesland, Germany, on the Ems River near the border of Holland.  Rorichum is a very old town and was well known in the 15th Century, as well as nearby Oldersum, which was the larger trading center at that time.  The Rorichum Church is one of the oldest in East Friesland, having been built in 1347.  The church is a heavy walled "baked stone" rectangular structure, with a figure of a rooster on top of the mast, denoting the Calvinist faith.  There is a separate high and very old bell tower and adjacent to them is the Freidhof (Kakehof) or cemetery.  In 1812, Kreis Aurich, which included Rorichum, wa s annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia.  The
Ostfriesians didn't like the Prussians due to their military activities, so in 1815 Kreis Aurich reverted back to the Havover Province.
     Jakob Smidt was not from a wealthy family, his father being a shoemaker.  As was customary, Jakob was conscripted into the Prussian army in 1812, at the age of 19.  In 1815 he was with the Prussian Infantry in Belgium getting ready to invade France.  Napoleon had escaped from exile, reactivated his army, and was determined to destroy the Allies on the Northwest be fore they could begin the
invasion.  The Prussians, in their dark gray uniforms and very high helmets, were deployed along the banks of the Sambre and Meuse Rivers with headquarters at Namur and Leige.  They were led by the tough 72 year old General Marshal Gebbard von Blèucher who coordinated an attack from the east while Wellington's army prepared to advance from the north and west.
      On Thursday, June 15, Napoleon crossed the French border south of Charleroi w ith about half of his army of 126,000 veteran soldiers. Regiment after regimen t of light cavalry dashed into Belgium. Wellington was actually napping in Bru ssels when the French army engaged the Prussians further to the east.  The Pru ssian outposts were soon swamped and by early afternoon the French had crossed the Sambre and headed for Ligny where the principal early Prussian engagement took place the afternoon of the next day.  Jakob Smidt was with the troops that had arrived that afternoon evening, having been delayed by French troops u nder Marshal Grouchy.  He was with the troops near Ligny that were overwhelmed by the French cavalry.   During the course of the battle, Jakob received a bullet through his hat and several more through his clothing.  His regiment was  overwhelmed by the French infantry and the survivors were taken
prisoner.  Now started the long, difficult prisoner's march along the one hundred and sixty miles to Paris.  The guards on horseback prodded the men along the sides of th e roads which were clogged by military gear being rushed in the opposite direc tion.  With the rain and mud, and the strenuous events of the past two days of battle that had fatigued the already hungry prisoners, the journey became a
virtual death march.  The badly wounded and fatigued men that could not keep up with the march were put to the sword or bayonet, since powder was scarce and too valuable to waste.
     Finally, on the second day of the march, with Paris still a long way in the distance, Jakob was rapidly becoming exhausted and was slowly slipping back to the end of the line of prisoners. He knew that his end was probably very near.  While passing through a small French village, he finally fell to his knees from sheer exhaustion.  He was a very religious man, and knowing that this may be his final moments, he began to pray.  A young French girl watching the line of prisoners through a window of her home, saw him praying and ran outside to hand him a glass of wine and two small biscuits.  This kind offering gave him the strength and stimulation to keep up with the other prisioners for the remainder of the march. They finally reached the prison camp situated on the low hills at the northeast side of Paris.  Because of his experiences and narrow escapes, Jakob Smidt had become known as "Little Iron Man" among his fellow prisoners.
     On Sunday, June 18, the day that Jakob and his fellow prisoners reached Paris, Napoleon engaged the British troops under the Duke of Wellington near the town of Walerloo, just south of Brussels in Belgium, hoping to defeat them before the remaining Prussians could arrive.  But General Marshal Blücher and his troops joined in the final victory battle at Plancenoit with the LaBelle Alliance on Napoleon's right flank, thereby taking pressure off Wellington at Mount Saint Jean below Waterloo.  The casualties on both sides were heavy, but the French were finally forced into a rout and the Allied armies joined in the pursuit of the broken and confused Imperial Guard.  Napoleon to abdicate his throne and be deported to the island of St. Helena. On July 7, 1915, the allies marched into Paris and there was great rejoicing the next day as Jakob Smidt and his comrades were liberated from the prison camp.
     Jakob  returned to his home in Rorichum and was given a hero's welcome for his part in helping to defeat the tyrant Napoleon.  He soon married his childhood sweetheart, whose name is now unknown.  She died shortly after the birth of a daughter, Heike.  After several years the young widower married Frauke (Fanny) DeGrave, daughter of Tjark DeGrave, also of Rorichum.  The people of this area spoke a dialect called "East Frisian Low German".  West Friesland is just across the border in Holland.  "Low German" means one of several different local dialects which have no written language.  The classical written language taught in schools is called "High German".
     After the war Jakob Smidt followed the shoemaker trade.  But the family was discouraged with conditions in their area and took an interest in the great opportunities that they had heard about in the German settlements of northern Illinois in America.  The two oldest daughters of Jakob were sent to America to investigate and verify these opportunities. There was great anxiety when they didn't hear from them for several months, and the family feared that they may have perished.  But the "Tourist Class" sailboat available in those days was very slow, and it was over six months before the family finally heard from the girls,  who had made it to the Middle West.  The rest of the family then emigrated to America and after three months on the ocean, they arrived in the autumn of 1856, settling in Lincoln Township, Ogle County, Illinois, near Haldane, a village southeast of Forreston.  At that time George was 17 years of age and Clara was 14.
     With the help of other early pioneers Jakob built a two room log house.  When some of their friends, the John DeVriese family of eight children from Simonswolde, about 10 miles northeast from Rorichum, came to this country they all moved in with the large Smidt family.  All lived in this small two room house until the DeVrieses could build their own home.
     Jakob Smidt is buried next to his second wife, Frauke in the Haldane Cemetery.  The name engraved on the tombstone is Schmit, which is pronounced the same, but is not the correct spelling of the name.

CHRIS AND NONA KRUGER
Christian Kruger and Nona Sarholt were born and raised in Ostfriesland, Germany, Hanover Province, where they were married.
Chris was a sheepherder, and would whistle as he went down the street and all the goats and sheep would follow him as their owners turned them out.  In the winter time he would cut peat from the peat bogs nearby for the fireplaces in the local homes.
There was some money inherited from his father, a nd some land and other holdings had been inherited by his older brothers.  Christian's
aunt Lottie had held his share of the inheritance in trust until he was ready to emigrate to America in 1855.  She then got all the money
due him in currency so that he would not have to pay tax and duty on it. To keep officials from learning that she had this money, she
sewed it into a beautiful bla ck, rustly taffeta petticoat.  A real problem presented itself, though, when they wanted to bring a great
deal of linens and woolen cloth to America.  They had spent hours preparing wool for spinning and linen for cloth and thread.  How would
they ever be able to get through customs with so much more than they were allowed?  Nona, the mother, proved herself to be a real smuggler, for what officer would ever think of going beneath a pile of dirty diapers. They would really close that pail in a big hurry!

They left Germany in 1855 with the ir seven children, the youngest being only about 6 months old.  The sailing ship on which they boarded
for passage took three months to make the ocean voyage.  The ship also had a store of peat in the hold to stoke a steam engine in case the
weather became either too calm or stormy.  When they reached America, they continued westward until they reached a German settlement at Freeport, Illinois.  Their youngest child, Jessie, was born there in 1857.  Her uncle John Sarholt, who came to America with them, called
her his "Little American."

Chris Kruger hired out to work for a Mr. Didden, who built a one-room house for them with a lean-to on the south side for extra clothes and
cookware and on the west was another lean-to that housed a cow, pig and some chickens which he had given them.  They also had the use of three acres of land for garden and feed for their livestock.  He worked there for a year and a half, then passed away in 1857, and was
buried in Freeport, Illinois.  Nona Kruger then moved in to Freeport and in 1864 she married Henry Lindeman, a widower who had a married
son named Folkert.  He and his wife were very poor and lived over a creamery in Grundy Center.  Henry Lindeman also hired out to work for
Mr. Didden.  Af ter a year and a half he, too, died in 1865.  Nona died about one year later, in 1866 and was buried in Freeport.

The family recalls that they lived 10 miles northwest of Freeport and Nona always had to walk to town for groceries unless she could get a
ride with someone going past.  Her very first ride to town was with Mr. Oko Tjaden who had one horse and one cow hitched to a wagon and
was taking some wheat to get it ground.  They also had to walk that distance to church every week.  One Sunday, on their way home, a big
rain storm came up .  Being all prairie, there was no place to go for shelter.  Jessie, her youngest was with Nona and when it started to
rain so very hard, she put the child on the ground in front of her for protection and wrapped her long gathered skirt around her and they
stood there until the rain was over.  By the time they got home, their clothes were nearly dry. 1817 - 1866 Neone Klaasson Soorholz 49 49 RFN167 1849 - 1946 Dick (Dirk) Beving 97 97 RFN168

Note: Dirk and Mareka Beving first made their home on a farm 2 1/2
miles east of Cleves, Iowa and later on farms at Matlock and Woden,

Jacob Smi th at Doran, Minnesota.

BIOGRAPHY
NOTE:  Ubbe and Janna Beving came to America in 1864, spendi ng a few
years near Freeport, Illinois and later moving to a farm near Cleves,
Iowa.  Jan and Gepke left Germany on 14 April 1866, spending six weeks
on th e ocean, and making their home with Ubbe.  Jan worked In Illinois
for several years, later coming to Ackley, Iowa and settling on a
place near Wellsburg. Dirk and Trientje Beving emigrated to America
in the spring of 1867 with their three youngest children.  In May of
that year, they arrived at Forreston, Ill inois when Dirk was 18 years
of age.  This is also the same community that the Jakob Smidt family
had come to in the autumn of 1856.
The next spring, in 18 68, they moved to Iowa, as did the Smidt
family not long after.  There is no r ecord that the families actually
knew each other then, but having come from th e same part of Germany,
talking the same East Friesian dialect, and having arr ived in the same
Illinois community, it is likely that they had become acquain ted.  The
Bevings bought a farm near Cleves, Iowa.

BIOGRAPHY
NOTE:  According to census, land and courthouse records, Joh n C.
Willemssen was also known as Jon C. Wilhelms.  He had seven or eight
bro thers and sisters.  John emigrated to America as a single man in
1853 and sett led in Brookville Twp., Ogle Co., Illinois near
Forreston, where he met Peterk e, which translated in American would be
Pearl.
Peterke Muntinga came to Amer ica in 1853 with her brother,
William, and settled at Ogle Co., Illinois.  She married John in 1853
and remained in Illinois until 1863 when they moved to I owa.  They
first settled in Etna Twp., Hardin Co. near Ackley, then moved to
Shiloh Twp., Grundy Co., near Wellsburg.  It is not known whether John
and Pet erke were acquainted in Germany, but the towns of Oldersum and
Rorichum are on ly a short distance apart on a map in the Ostfriesland
area.
John K. Brouwer (or Brower) was also born in East Friesland in
1824.  He came to America in 18 63 with his wife and family.  His wife,
Brechje, died in Grundy County, Iowa. He and Peterke had two more
sons who later lived in Campbell, Minnesota.

          By Joise De Wall

I never knew my grandfather very well, as he died a number of years before I was born.  Frederika and Fred were married in Freeport, Illinois, but later moved to Forreston.  My grandfather was a railroad man.  As many men of his time, he did odd jobs on the side, such as butchering and barbering.  I shall always remember my grandmother as a very kind, Christian lady.  She was always ready and willing to help any one in need of her services.  I'm sure all of her children and grandchildren loved her very much.  Her life was not all a bed of roses though.  She had a very meager education and was called upon to start working out at the age of 9 years.  Her family was very poor.  I can recall her telling us of her experience while working at one place.  The man of the house told her to go to the pasture to get the cow to be milked.  It was bitter cold weather with a lot of snow on the ground.  Of course, with wooden shoes on, by the time she got back with the cow, her feet were frozen.  The lady of the house didn't want Rika's mother to find out about this, so she said if she wouldn't tell her mother, she would buy her a new calico dress the next time she went to town.  She had several tragedies happen during her life time.  One was when her son, 12 years of age, who was taking lunch to his father at the railroad, was killed by a train.  Another was when she lost her oldest daughter in a shooting accident.  Her daughter was shot and killed instantly by a man who had a quarrel with her husband.  He had warned her not to go to the window when they heard shooting in the street, but she had already started drawing the curtain aside and the shot came instantly.  Her husband was only 35 and grandmother stayed with the family until the children were old enough to care for themselves.  Her relatives remember her as a very witty person, good for laughs and playing jokes.  What was a marvel was how she could be this way with all the tragedies in her life.  She said, "We must live for today, for yesterday is gone."  She lived a very useful life.

          Story of Lottie Kruger Dilly and John Dilly

Lottie was born to Christian and Noune Kruger in Ostfriesland, Germany.  She came to America with her family in 1855 and settled near Freeport, Illinois.  While living near Forreston, Illinois, Lottie met and married John Dilly.  They farmed in Illinois for a time and then migrated to Iowa with several of the other Kruger families.  One of their children remembers them crossing from Illinois to Iowa.  Fred stood up and shouted "Good-bye Illinois" while Klaus cried.  Lottie and her family first moved near Little Rock and then to the May City area.  The following clipping from the Osceola Centennial paper tells of how Lottie and some of her children nearly drown in the Ocheydan River while making that move.

     The John Dilly family moved from near Hartley to a farm north of May City.  The men had gone earlier with wagons and cattle.  It was dark when Mrs. Dilly and five children riding in a spring wagon came to a place where they had to ford the Ocheydan River south of May City.  They didn't cross the rive at the right place and they almost drowned.  The oldest girl, 14 and a 5-year old boy floated out of the water; one horse was down but the girl got the tugs unhooked and got the horses across.  Mrs. Dilly and the other three children floated down the river a ways in the spring wagon until it came to rest near the bank and they clung to it.  They saw light about a half-mile away and Mrs. Dilly said, 'Lets all holler and the people, The Robinsons, heard them.  Mr. Robinson and son Frank came to their rescue.  Mrs. Dilly, holding the baby, had stood in the icy water so long that when she was going to hand the baby to the men she dropped him in the water.  The boy grabbed him and although all were wet and cold, they suffered no ill effects: Didn't even catch a cold.

The Robinsons were unhitching their horses after a trip to town and heard the calling.  Interesting note:  Young Frank later married daughter, Lottie Dilly.

It was Hannah and her five year old brother who got out of the water while Lottie, with Emma on her lap, sat on the seat while Nona, Lottie and Henry were sitting on the robe behind the back seat as they floated down the swollen river.  It was really answered prayer for such a rescue.

In 1901, they moved to Reading, Minnesota, where they farmed until Henry got married.  This was the last of his help, so John sold out to Henry and bought a little home in Worthington, Minnesota.  John started doing carpenter work.  They once visited their daughter, Lottie in the woods of Wisconsin and while John thought it was wonderful, Lottie thought her children were living out of the world, so they induced them to come to Worthington.  Before the Robertsons could make that move, John died just one year before they were to have celebrated their golden wedding.  Lottie, the daughter and her husband, decided, along with the brother, that Lottie, the mother, should not live alone, so she made her home with the Robertsons until she died.  All the young people remember her for her quick wit, the many childhood stories, her peppy German songs and her marvelous disposition.  She was always the source of many hours of entertainment to all.

K.C. Kruger, who successfully carries on farming on section 24, Colfax Township, is one of the worthy German citizens of Grundy County.  He was born in Ostfriesland, Hanover, June 9, 1842, and is a son of Christian and Neone (Soorholz) Kruger.  The father was a farmer by occupation.  In 1854, accompanied by his family, he crossed the Atlantic to America, and took up his residence in Stephenson County, Illinois.  But he was not long permitted to enjoy his new home, for his death occurred in 1856.  His wife survived him only until 1861. 

Our subject was a youth of twelve years when he came to the New World.  After his father's death he cared for his mother and her children.  September 2, 1861, he manifested his loyalty to his adopted country by entering her service for three years as a member of the Forty-sixth Illinois Infantry.  He served for three years and six months, being mustered out February 2,1864.  In July of the same year he re-enlisted as a carpenter, and continued with the boys in blue until honorably discharged April 3, 1865.  He participated in the battles of Ft. Henry, Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth and the siege of Vicksburg.  From Vicksburg he was sent, as a guard of the rebel prisoners, to Cairo, Illinois, and subsequently went to Memphis, Tennessee, where he was discharged on account of physical disability arising from typhus fever contracted while at Shiloh.

After the war Mr. Kruger resumed farming in Stephenson County, Illinois, where he continued his labors until 1870.  He was married May 25, 1866, to Miss Berendina Gronhagen.  Unto then have been nine children born, eight of who are yet living, namely: Rev Harm T., a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, in Butler County, Iowa; Christian, Henry, Nannie, Klass B., Gertie, Barney and Albert.

The year 1870 witnessed the arrival of Mr. Kruger and his family in Grundy County, Iowa.  They located upon a tract of wild prairie land, which he has since transformed into his present fine farm; in fact, he has made all of the improvements upon the place, and its buildings stand as monuments to his thrift and enterprise.  The farm is two hundred and forty acres in extent, and the entire area is under a high state of cultivation.  The home, a comfortable and commodious frame residence, was erected in 1878.  In its rear there are food barns and outbuildings, and there in turn are surrounded by well tilled fields,  In connection with the cultivation of his land Mr. Kruger carries on stock-raising, and for the pas twelve years has made a specialty of Chester-White hogs.

Mr. Kruger has led a busy life, largely devoted to his business interests, yet he has found time to serve his fellow-townsmen in official positions.  For seven years, he was Justice of the Peace, for four years was Township Clerk, six years served as Township Assessor, and for two years was Constable.  He has several times been a delegate to the Democratic State Conventions, and has twice been a member of the County Democratic Central Committee.  The prompt and able manner in which he discharges his public duties has won him the high commendation of all concerned.  He and his family are all faithful members of the Presbyterian Church of Holland, and for twenty-two years he has been Clerk of the Board of Trustees.  An honorable, upright life well entitles him to representation in the volume.

He soon went on to Pomfret, purchasing land there from Deacon Chandler. He returned to Massachusetts to marry and he left her in the spring of 1698 to go to Pomfret and ready the homestead.

This first Goodell home is believed to have stood near the summit of Easter Hill, in the Elliott section of Pomfret, so named from its last resident. Traces of the old cellar remain near a fine spring of water.

In 1709 Thomas Goodell sold this first cabin and clearing with its young orchards to Ebenezer Truesdell, and built himself a large and substantial dwelling on the northern slope of the hill, about one-fourth of a mile south of the present Abington Church.

He owned several hundred acres of land between Blackwell's Brook and Abington Brook. His land was crossed by the King's Highway up to 1870, when that section of this ancient road was closed by the laying of the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R. Travel was diverted through Abington Common, now Route 97.

The Goodells were of Huguenot origin. .All of their eleven children were born before 1721. The first child, Humphrey, born Oct. 30, 1699 was the first white child born in the limits of the Mashamoquet Purchase

The Goodell family lived for many generations at their second home site. A marvelous growth of lilacs still thrive by the open gate. A crumbling chimney, broad door stones, and a near-by well are all that remain to mark this century old pioneer homestead.

Captain Zachariah Goodell (French and Indian War) sold the land (for twenty pounds old tenor) for the site of the meeting-house in 1751."

In the autumn of 1698, Sarah Horrel Goodell left the friendly village of Woodstock, following the Path alone, far out into the wilds of the Nipmuck wilderness, seeking the cabin that she had been told by friends her husband was making ready for her. He had left for the new country in the early spring. Receiving no tidings of him, she resolved to join him, so taking her spinning wheel, she traversed the lonely trail from Roxbury, Mass., depending upon chance "lifts" from fellow travelers along the way.

She could not be prevailed upon to remain overnight at Woodstock but, spinning wheel in hand, she hurried on through the forest gloom. South of Woodstock lay the Mashamoquet in the Nipmuck Country, the future town of Pomfret. At this period the only settler in the Purchase was John Sabin, near the Woodstock line, the Bartholomew place. The path that Sarah Horrel Goodell trod that autumn night, two hundred and fifty years ago, led over Ragged Hill in the western section, miles from the Sabin home. She traveled the rocky trail, ragged and steep, down through the valleys, over the brooks and on for many a weary mile, until at last, as the last rays faded in the west, she came to the little clearing and there, by the side of the "way", she found her cabin home. 1678 - 1753 Abraham Goodell 75 75 RFN477 Hanna Rhodes RFN478 Mary Tarbell RFN479 1681 - 1752 John Goodale 70 70 RFN480 ~1650 - 1697 Elizabeth Witt 47 47 RFN481 Elizabeth UNKNOWN RFN482 23 MAR 1682/83 - 1752 Elizabeth Goodale RFN483 William Fuller RFN484 23 MAR 1684/85 Sarah Goodale RFN485 Samuel Felton RFN486 1687 - 1754 Benjamin Goodale 67 67 RFN487 1689 - 1717 David Goodale 28 28 RFN488 Abigail Eliot RFN489 1641 - 1661 Samuel Beauchamp 20 20 RFN490 1643 - 1645 Mary Beauchamp 2 2 RFN491 1647 - 1668 Mary Beauchamp 20 20 RFN492 1630 - 1682 Mary Goodell 52 52 RFN493 1630 - 1689 Capt.

John lived in Wenham MA and in all probablility, John served in the milita mustered on Dedham Plain, 10 Dec. 1675, to march against Narragansett Fort (King Phillip's War). I believe this to be true, as we know that John's brother Mark was killed in this battle and according to Tarbox, heirs of the militia that served in this battle were awarded land in 1728 by the General Court in what is now Amherst NH, where several of John's grandsons were a pioneer settlers. Pierce describes the prelude and the battle for Narragansett swamp like this:

In 1675 King Philip's War broke out and continued for two years. It was the principal struggle made by the Indians for their homes and hunting grounds. They fought with the energy of despair, and inflicted many a severe loss upon the 'pale faced intruders.' About 600 of the whites were killed and many more severely wounded; 13 towns and 600 houses were destroyed; and the expenses of the war have been estimated at $500,000, an enormous sum for those days, considering the scarcity of money and the small number of those upon whom the loss fell.

But heavy as were the losses of the feeble colonists, those of the enemy were still greater. They were routed from their old fastnesses and their power effectively broken. Their subsequent struggles were less for victory than revenge. No place was safe, and at no time were the colonists free from danger. The law of 1676 that each town should 'scout and war' and clear up the brush along the ways, 'to prevent the skulking of the enemy,' was rigourously obeyed. Farmers carried their arms and ammunition, as well as implements of husbandry to their fields and some worked while others were posted as sentinels about the clearing. Memebers of the church attended divine worship with their guns and sentinels paced their rounds about the little edifice while others were listening to the word. A fortification was raised in every town to provide against an attack, and often the whole population was massed in the stckade, while at other times neighbors were massed in the garrison houses.

In the depth of winter a force of 550 men was collected in Massachusetts, and being joined by reinforcements from Plymouth and Connecticut colonies, they made a forced march through the snows and over the frozen ground till they reached, Dec. 19, 1675, a swamp in the country of the Narragansetts where the Indians had built a fort and gathered their bravest warriors. Notwithstanding tht they had camped out the previous night 'with no other covering than a cold and moist fleece of snow,' and had marched 19 miles that day, wading through the drifts, the troops rushed at once to the attack. The Indians retreated to the middle of the swamps, where they had fortified an island, covering five or six acres with palisades and a hedge nearly a rod thick. ' There were two entrances, one over a long tree upon a place of water, the other at a corner,' and commanded by a log house in front, and on the left by a 'flanker'.

At this point an attack was made by the Massachusetts troops, led by Capt. Johnson, who unfortunately fell at the first fire, with Mark Batcheller. So many of the soldiers were killed or wounded that they were obliged to retreat. Again, however, they were rallied by their valiant leaders; again they rushed to the charge, carrying block house and flanker and fairly establishing themselves upon the island. The Indians then retreated to the middle of the fort, and the whole mass was quickly engaged in desperate and deadly struggle. The strife was long and bloody, for the savages outnumbered the whites more than three to one, but 'manifest destiny' was against them. They were routed, their wigwams burned and their corn and other stores destroyed by the flames. Three hundred warriors are said to have been slain, while as many more were taken prisoners. But this success was not purchased without severe loss to the Massachusetts troops, for more than 100 were killed or wounded .. (including) Capt. Joseph Gardiner."

John served on the famous "Salem witch trial" jury in 1692 which resulted in the deaths of 23 men and women (19 by hanging, 1 pressed to death, 3 died in prison see Salem MA Witchcraft Hysteria for more information). That he came to regret the results of this civic duty is evidenced by the following "Declaration of Regret" which was signed inby John and the other members of the jury.

"We whose names are underwritten, being in the year 1692 called to serve as jurors in court at Salem, on trial of many who were by some suspected guilty of doing acts of witchcraft upon the bodies of sundry persons, we confess that we ourselves were not capable to understand, nor able to withstand, the mysterious delusions of the powers of darkness and Prince of the air, but were, for want of knowledge in ourselves and better information from others, prevailed with to take with such evidence against the accused, as, on further consideration and better information, we justly fear was insufficient for the touching the lives of any (Deut. xvi 1) whereby we fear we have been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon ourselves and this people of the Lord the guilt of innocent blood; which sin the Lord saith in Scripture he would not pardon (2 Kings xxiv. 4) - that is, we suppose, in regard to his temporal judgments. We do therefore hereby signify to all in general, and to the surviving sufferers in special, our deep sense of, and sorrow for, our errors in acting on such evidence to the condemning of any person; and do hereby declare, that we justly fear that we were sadly deluded and mistaken - for which we are much disquieted and distresed in our minds, and do therefore humbly beg forgiveness, first of God, for Christ's sake, for this our error, and pray that God would impute the guilt of it to ourselves nor others, and we also pray that we may be considered candidly and aright by the living sufferers, as being then under a strong and general delusion, utterly unacquainted with, and not experienced in, matters of that nature.

We do hereby ask forgiveness of you all, whom we have justly offended, and do declare, according to our present minds, we would none of us do such things again, on such grounds, for the whole world - praying you to accept of this in way of satisfaction for our offense, and that you would bless the inheritance of the Lord, that he may be entreated for the land.

John's will was dated 16 Dec 1698 and probated 16 Jan 1698 and named Ebenzer as Executor. I was particularly interested in the degree of detail of how the widow Sarah was to be provided for; John specifies her entitlements down to the specific room in the house and the size of the pot she can use!:

BIOGRAPHY
JACOB, bapt. Jan. 9, 1641/2. Some of the evidence given at t he
time of his death in 1676 points to the conclusion that he was not of
enti rely normal mentality. At the court session of April, 1669, Jacob
Goodale was ordered to pay five shillings to the constable of Andover
for bringing home hi s son.(*) There is no other evidence that he was
married or that he had a son, and the name may possibly be a clerk's
error for Robert Goodale, Jacob being the runaway. Jacob Goodale d. in
1676, after being severely beaten by Giles Co rey.(+)
About the last part of November 1675, Mrs. Mary Corey testified that
Elizabeth, wife of Zechariah Goodell, told her that the latter's
brother, Jac ob, had been to Zachariah's house and got into the cellar,
taking some apples. Zechariah was coming in at that moment with a log
of wood.  Laying it down, he took a stick and "pade him to som
purpos."  About ten days later, Giles Cor ey unreasonably beat Jacob
with a stick about an inch in diameter, nearly an h undred blows in the
presence of Elisha Kebee, who told Corey that he would kno ck him down
if "he did not forbear."  Corey then went to the house of Zecharia h
Goodell and told him that his brother Jacob had had a fall.  He was
afraid that he had broken his arm, and desired him to take Jacob to
Mrs. Mole's in th e town.  Jacob was then about thirty-four years of
age and had a reputation fo r being lustful.  Now Jacob went "very
Ravel" and stooping, and he was very pa le and his eyes were sunken.
Thereupon Zechariah went to Corey's house and saw Jacob who was there.
The roads were very slippery and Corey said that his hor se was not
caulked, and so he could not go with him.  Jacob went so badly,
Ze chariah asked him if he had any other hurt than his arm, but he
would not tell .  Zechariah then requested that some one might go with
them, for he would not go alone with him.  Whereupon Goody Corey went
with them.  Jacob died a few d ays later and an inquest was held.  The
jury reported "We find several wrongs that he hath had on his body as
upon his left arm and upon his right thigh a g reat bruise which was
very much swold, and upon reins of his back in color dif fering from
the other parts of his body we caused an incision to be made, much
bruished and run with a jelly and the skin broke upon the outside of
each bu ttock."  For this offence Giles Corey was fined.  In later
years Giles was bru tally put to death during the witch hunts.  The
above episode was recorded in a poem by Longfellow. ~1645 Hannah Goodell RFN506

The first chief of the Clan was Donald Dubh he married an heiress of the MacMartins of Letterfinlay and united the tribes that became Clan Cameron.

He is believed to have been born around 1400 and he and his successors were known as captains of Clan Cameron.

In the early 16th century Ewan Macallan united by charter the lands of Locheil into the Barony of Locheil. His father Alan Macdonald Dubh began a feud with the MacKintosh Clan that was to last for 300 years. Ewan was one of the great Cameron chiefs the death of his son Donald was a severe blow to him and he went on a pilgrimage to Rome.

The pope ordered him to build 6 chapels for his sins.

The next great chief was Sir Ewan (1629-1719) who was knighted in 1682 , he took part in the battle of Killiecrankie in 1689 in support of James VII. His grandson known as 'gentle lochiel' supported Bonnie Prince Charlie in the Forty Five he always felt guilty that he was won over by the Princes charm he died in France in 1748.

After the disaster of Culloden the Cameron lands were forfeited.

The Camerons are descended from the ancient Dalriadic kings of the West Coast. An old Irish manuscript lists their ancestry from Ferchar Fada of the tribe of Lorn, king of Dalraida in 697. The Gaelic name was Camshron. The name is from the Gaelic Cam-shorn, meaning hook nose. It is said that a hooked nose was a characteristic of the old Clan Cameron families. Their principal territory was Locheil and Northern Argyll. The Cameron chiefs were distinguished for their warlike tendencies.They were known as fierce fighters: “For centuries the Camerons held by the sword the lands that had once been Clan Chattan’s heritage in Lochaber. Their ferocious war cry was a promise to feed their enemies’ flesh to dogs: “Sons of the hounds come here and get flesh”. Their territory was bounded to the south by the MacLeans, to the west by the MacDonalds. Most of Cameron country is over one thousand feet in altitude. The highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, is included in this area. The area contains eagles, wild cats, foxes, otters and red deer. The last wolf in Scotland is said to have been killed in 1680 by Ewan Cameron of Lochiel.

The earliest historically recorded Cameron laird was Donald Dubh (or Black Donald) mentioned in the fifteenth century. He was a formidable Lochaber warrier, and is considered to be the eleventh chief of Clan Cameron. One of the best known Cameron chiefs was Sir EwenCameron, in the late 1600s. He was the last chief to hold out against Cromwell, and bit through a Cromwellian officer’s windpipe while locked in mortal combat near Inverlochy. Despite his ferocity, Ewan was said to be “the very model of a Highland gentleman of those times.” He trained his men to be tough and disciplined, and to say that a bed of snow was like a “thrice-driven bed of down”.He saw one of his nephews had rolled together a large snowball as a pillow for his head. Ewan kicked the heap from under his head, saying “What! Are you become a luxurious that you cannot sleep without a pillow?” 29 FEB 1651/52 - 1701 Sarah Sargent RFN661 18 FEB 1657/58 Orlando Bagley 1603 Elizabeth Sargent RFN663 1609 Joanna Sargent RFN664 ~1606 Jeremy Walters RFN665 1608 - 1633 Judith Perkins 25 25 RFN666 1609 - 1686 John Perkins 77 77 RFN667 Elizabeth Eveleth RFN668 1614 Absolom Perkins RFN669 1615 - 1700 Mary Perkins 85 85 Mary married Thomas Bradbury and was convicted in 1692 as a witch along with a number of other people. She was living at the time in Salisbury, Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury were prominent citizens in Salisbury. Despite vigorous objections and signatures of 117 of her friends and neighbors many of whom were influential citizens, she was still convicted of witchcraft, she was publicly whipped and imprisoned. She escaped from custody, perhaps with the help of some of her many friends. This information is from HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT IN MASSACHUSETTS. In 1692, Sir William Phips became Massachusetts' first royal governor. One of his most important acts was to end the persecution of persons believed to be witches. In 1692, the Massachusetts colonists executed 20 persons as witches and imprisoned 150 others.

After the death of his father and mother, he came into possession of the homestead. This house was located in the extreme Eastern part of Ipswich, very near the riverside and also near to Manning and was occupied until August 7, 1668 when it was destroyed through carelessness of a servant girl. She was imprisoned for it. An account of the examination of her(Mehitable Brabrook) is recorded in FAMILY OF JOHN PERKINS BY George A. Perkins written in 1884. Jacob's new house was struck by lightning on a Sunday in 1671 while many people were gathered there to repeat the sermon. In 1647 or 1648, he married Elizabeth Lovell, their oldest child, Elizabeth was born April 1, 1649. Elizabeth Lovell died February 12, 1665. He then married Demnaris Robinson of Boston. He lived with her until his death, January 27, 1700. After his death, she returned to Boston and died in 1716. By her will, she left her property to her children by her first husband. ~1625 - 12 FEB 1664/65 Elizabeth Lovell RFN674 ~1625 - 1716 Damaris Robinson 91 91 RFN675 1632 Lydia Perkins RFN676 Henry Bennet RFN677 JAN 1575/76 - 23 MAR 1575/76 Alice Gater RFN678 1577 - 1578 Elizabeth Gater 1 1 RFN679 1579 John Gater RFN680 Elinor UNKNOWN RFN681 1 JAN 1579/80 Agnes Gater RFN682 1583 Richard Gater RFN683 1583 Michael Gater RFN684 1585 - 1590 Francis Gater 4 4 RFN685 11 MAR 1585/86 - 1606 Margaret Gater RFN686 1590 Mary Gater RFN687 1592 - 1592 Erasmis Gater 16d 16d RFN688RFN689 1593 William Gater RFN690 1567 - 21 FEB 1606/07 Elyne Sawbridge RFN691 Thomas Twygger RFN692 1570 Lettice Sawbridge RFN693 George Kydener RFN694 ~1566 Margaret Perkins RFN695 23 JAN 1692/93 Jacob Goodale RFN696 23 JAN 1692/93 Isaac Goodale RFN697

BIOGRAPHY
Samuel Abbe, second son of John Abbe, husbandman, was made freeman
October 3, 1680. He married Mary Knowlton, in Wenham, October 12,
167 2; and lived first in Wenham, removing to Salem Village, now
Danvers, in 1682. He returned to Wenham in 1697, where he died in
1698. His wife, Mary, survive d him and married Abraham Mitchell.
. SAMUEL2 ABBE, son of John1 Abbe, born pr obably at Wenham, Mass.,
about 1646, or soon after his father's settlement the re; died in
Windham, Conn., March, 1697-8. His name first appears in the Wenha m
records at the time of his marriage. "Samuel Abby and Mary Knowlton
maryed the 12th October 1672."
He received a grant of ten acres of land in Wenham, an d land to
set his house upon, from his father, John Abbey, and wife, Mary, Apr il
3, 1675, his brethren to have the refusal of the place if he should
sell ( Essex Deeds, 15:150). Samuel and his wife, Mary, were
communicants of the chur ch in Wenham in 1674. He was a land surveyor
in 1676 and appears upon the town records as a      husbandman, made
freeman, October 3, 1680 (Massachusetts Re cords, 5:540).  He was named
in his father's will, 1683.
A map of Salem dwell ings in 1692, published in Volume I of
Upham's Salem Witchcraft, shows the loc ation of Samuel Abbey's house,
number 114 on a plot in the south-west part, ea st of Bald Hill, within
the 500 acres laid out to Robert Goodell in 1652 and i ts subsequent
additions.
On November 1, 1682, Samuel Abbey bought of Lott Kil lam and wife,
Hannah, of Salem, he being then of Wenham, 6 acres in Salem on
Norrice's Brook (12:112), and also bought of James Stimpson and wife,
Priscill a, who had been the widow of Isaac Goodell, at the same place,
some land in 16 84 (12:113). On April 3, 1697, he and his wife, Mary,
sold those lands describ ed as a dwelling house, two orchards, and
seventeen acres in Salem, bounding A nthony Needham, John Walcott,
Isaac Goodale, Samuel Goodale, Abraham Smith, Ab el Gardner, Joseph
Flint, and also six acres on Norrice's Brook, and two
acre s bought of James Stimpson, to Zachariah White of Lynn, all for

130 (12:147). The above James Stimpson was of Reading and had married
the widow of the elde r Isaac Goodell. At the time of Goodell's death
in 1680, the widow was adminis tratrix and Samuel Abbey was one of her
sureties. He was then probably of Sale m or possibly Topsfield.
He was admitted freeman of Salem Village, March 22, 1 689-90. He
and his wife were dismissed from the Salem Church September 15, 168 9,
to unite in forming one at Salem Village; the date of its formation
being November 15, 1689. Salem Village is now Danvers. On July 1,
1690, he was taxed at Salem Village, and again, January 18, 1694-5, he
and his son were taxed th ere.
Samuel Abbey of Salem bought of Benjamin Howard of Windham,
Conn., for
22. 10s. current money, half an allotment of land (500
acres), being number 2 at the Center, at or near the locality known
later as Bricktop. He probably re moved to Windham about that time as
he was admitted an inhabitant of that town December 21, 1697, and died
there March of the following year.
His estate wa s settled in 1699. The inventory, taken May 9, 1698,
gives as legatees, the fo llowing: wife, Mary; daughter, Mary, aged 25;
son, Samuel, aged 23; son, Thoma s, aged 20; Eleazer, aged 18 (the land
records prove that this is a mistake fo r Elizabeth); Ebenezer, aged
16; Merey, aged 14; Sarah, aged 13; Hepsibah, age d 10; Abigail, aged
8; John, aged 7; Benjamin, aged 6; Jonathan, aged 2. One r ecord says
he left a son, Eleazer, and a daughter, Abigail, each 8 years old a t
his death. This is doubtless an attempt to rectify the error noted
above.
Samuel Abbe was living in Salem during the days of witchcraft and
was one of t hose opposed to its fanaticisms. One Rebecca Nourse, on
trial as a witch, prod uced a paper signed by several "respectable
inhabitants" of Salem, among whom was Samuel Abbe. This document as to

BIOGRAPHY
. JOHN2 ABBE, son of John1 and Mary ( ) Abbe, born in 1636 o r 1637,
probably in Salem, Mass., died suddenly, December 11, 1700, in
Windha m, Conn. As early as 1663, he was one of three to oversee the
Town's Common an d to resist encroachments on the timber. He may be the
John Abbe who was const able in 1669. He is first described as a yeoman
of Wenham, and was admitted to freedom by the court at Boston, May 11,
1670. In a document of 1683, his fath er designated him as the heir to
his estate in Wenham upon the condition of hi s caring for his father
and mother in their old age. He apparently resided upo n this estate
until about 1696.

M arch 9, 1694-5, he sold to Francis Wainwright a house and
lands in Wenham, 50 acres in all; and in the following year, February

he disposed of his property in Wenham and purchased of Lieutenant
Exercise Conant, July 13, 1696, for

2, page 101). He sold h is farm in Wenham, 30 acres with buildings, to
Nathaniel Wainwright, October 1 9, 1696, for

after removed to Windham, Conn., for on De cember 9, 1696, he was
admitted a freeman of that town as John Abbe, Senr, of Windham. He and
his wife, Hannah, were dismissed from the Wenham Church to tha t of
Windham by a letter of October 28, 1700, and were both original

JOHN3 ABBE, son of Samuel2 and Mary (Knowlton) Abbe, born in
Salem Village, Mass., June 4, 1692; died in East Hartford, Conn.,
October 30 , 1790. He was a resident of Hartford as early as 1710 or
1713. John Abbe, res ident at Hartford, sold to his brother Ebenezer,
land formerly belonging to th eir father, Samuel Abbe, of Windham,
October 29, 1713. (Windham Deeds, Liber D , page 328.)
March 12, 1718, he purchased from Benjamin Hills of Hartford, 8 a cres
on the "east side of the Great River." There were several John
Abbes liv ing at this period so that it is sometimes hard to tell which
one is meant, bu t the following records seem  to pertain to this one.
March 3, 1731, he joined with several others in giving a deed to the
Town of Hartford for a highway wh ich was later known as Silver Lane
and on which his house stood.
(Hartford De eds, Vols. 5, page 307, and 3, page 164.)
John Abbe of East Hartford was one o f the inhabitants of that town to
protest against a tax in 1769; signed a pape r with others regarding
their desire to settle in what was known as "Western t own" in 1733;
was a proprietor in the Western land and signed a Tolland petiti on.
(Connecticut State Archives, State Library, Towns and Lands, IX,

Deeds made by him were record ed in Hartford, 1736, 1738, 1748, 1754,
1759, 1765, and 1770. The most importa nt of these is that of January
15, 1759 (Hartford Deeds, 13, page 37), by whic h he conveys land to
his son Nehemiah Abbe of Hartford. The name is spelled in various ways
on the early records, Abbe, Abby and Abbey,      but the latter seems
to have been in most frequent use among the later descendants of his

Their children were: George, born May 6, 1578, resided in Chiswick;
Stephen, born May 1, 1580, died young; Thomas, born 1582; William,
born 1584 , married Ann Elizabeth Smith. The first two children were
born in the parish of Canterbury in Kent. The great cathedral is but
six miles from Knowlton Mano r and the parish boundaries at that time
included the latter, but the manor is now in         the parochial
boundaries of the neighboring parish of Sandwich .
Thomas Knowlton, son of Richard Knowlton, was born in Kent,
1582. His child ren were: John, born 1620, married Dorothy (???), 1643;
Robert, born 1622, mar ried Susan (???); married (second) Sarah (???);
Mary, born 1628, married John Wilson, April 26, 1651; Sarah, born
1630, married Augustine Ellis, February 23 , 1656.
William Knowlton, son of Richard Knowlton, emigrated to
America, as s tated above. His wife was Elizabeth. Their children were:
John, born 1610; Sam uel, born 1611; Robert, born 1613, remained in
England, said to have died youn g; William, born 1615; Mary, born 1617,
died young; Thomas, born 1620-22.
The manor hall in Kent is a beautiful structure with a history
running back to th e days of William, the Conqueror.
William Knowlton owned the ship in which he started for
America and was known as Captain Knowlton. Of his children, John,
William, Deacon Thomas and probably Samuel accompanied him, for a
Samuel was found in Hingham soon after the others appeared at Ipswich,
Massachusetts, and he died in 1655, leaving a will, proved September,
1655, in which his brother John is named as executor. As John, son of
Captain William, was the only one answering the       description,
Samuel must have also been son of Captain Wil liam. John went to
Ipswich in 1639, and William and Thomas followed in 1642. I t is
believed that Captain William was buried in Nova Scotia, whither he
was bound and near the coast of which he died.

Guilford, "The Ancestry of Dr. J. P. Guilford, Vol. 1," (1990),

p. 322-323:

"Supporting the notion that the [Guilford] family came from Kent, England, is the marriage of John1 Guilford to Susanna Knowlton, daughter of William1 Knowlton, since the latter is known to be from Kent and since he was a seafarer and owned his own ship. It is believed that these families traveled together and it is assumed that after Mary (----) Guilford and her son John1 died, Ann (Smith) Knowlton took in the
children of John1 and raised them. There has been a great deal of dispute as to whether Susanna was a Knowlton or a Norton, there also being a William Norton in Hingham at the time, but this writer believes the evidence in favor of Knowlton is overwhelming.

The Boston Transcript No. 9830 states that Robert brought to America the arms granted Thomas Goodall of Earle-Stoneham. Martha RFN896 ~1510 Thomas Goodell The Goodale_Goodell_Goodall Family
especially the Artemus Kimball Goodale Family

There are two theories as to the origination of the family name, GOODALE, GOODELL, GOODALL. One is reported by a research bureau in Washington,
D.C. and supported by Dr. Robert L. Goodale of Ipswich, Mass.:

      The name is of Norse origin. There was a Goodel de Brixi who came from Normandy with Edward the Confessor before 1066. The Goodalls were a very early family in the British Isles, stemming from members living in Goldale, now Gowdall, a town in the parish of Snaith, Yorkshire. They were of the landed gentry and yeomanry.

      Among the earliest definite records are those of Villa de Goldale, Johannes or John Godhale, Recardus or Richard de Goldall, and Johannes or John Godhall of Yorkshire, in the year 1379. In the class of 1470 at Oxford was a Richard Goodale (recorded in the library of Merton College). Listed at the head of his class, the name was `Godyle.'

It is true that in early times very little attention was given to the spelling of names, and during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, there was no fixed authority for the spelling of either `proper' names or surnames.1

The other theory is advanced by Professor Isaac Goodell of Ft. Worth, Texas, after much study:

      Robert Goodell is claimed to be of French Hugenot descent. `Goodelle' is the French origin of our family name and this spelling is yet found in Paris and a number of smaller towns in France. Later, one of our ancestors emigrated to Scotland, and about 1580, as tradition goes, a Goodelle family (Robert's grandfather) moved from Scotland to London. The name of Goodelle was Anglicized to Goodell, then Goodale and later Goodall in the coastal counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, England. Baptiste Goodell, supposed to be a son of that family and uncle to Robert, made his first appearance as an actor with William Shakespeare in Henry VI before Queen Elizabeth in 1589.

The name is significant of family occupation as may be inferred from the coat-of-arms of the Scottish families, described as follows:

      `Arms: On 3 caps and in the middle fesse point as many ears of barley, two in saltire, and one in pale of the last.

      Crest: A silver cup PPR, motto Good God increase'

There were five Old Planters: Roger Conant, John Woodberry, William Trask, John Balch and Peter Palfrey. John Balch left England and was originally associated with Thomas Weston in the colony at Wessagusset. The probability is that he arrived at Cape Ann, MA, with Phinneas Pratt, aboard the ship "Anne" in September 1623. After the Wessagusset settlement failed he associated himself with Roger Conant and the others in a Fishery located on Cape Anne. That operated for four or five years, but also farming. Unknown to them, Governor Endicott had obtained patents to Salem and when he arrived negotiated with the original planters to grant them 1000 acres across the Bass
River on land that ultimately became Beverly.

John Balch built the first wooden 2 story house in 1638 on Bass River in Beverly at the corner of Balch and Cabot Streets. In 1930, the house was still standing although greatly increased in size from the original three or four room, thatched cottage of John Balch's day. The grant of land was dated November 11, 1635. The house is now a museum, and it may be the oldest wooden building in the US.

Source: Michael Edward Dobson (dobfam4@@juno.com):
"John Balch landed at Wesseguset, Sep 1623. He came to New England in the company of Capt. Robert Georges, son of Sir Fernandes Georges of Somersetshire, who with others had obtained a generous grant covering a large part of the New England coast. Capt. Robert
Georges was a gentleman adventurer, (a man of the court) of the Church of England and a soldier, not an earnest Puritan seeking religious freedom in the new world. He hoped to establish a little aristocratic England with English customs and form on the rough coast of the New World. The colonists who were farmers, mechanics and traders as well as "gentlemen" and "divines" arrived in Wessegusset (now Weymouth) in late Sept. But the following spring, Georges, with some of his followers, returned to England, "having found the state of things here," wrote Gov Bradford of Plymouth, "not to answer his qualities & conditions, having scarcely saluted the countrie in his Governmente." Perhaps John Balch returned with him as there is an entry in the register at Cuthbert-at-Welles that he returned for a wife in 1625. (He evidently returned to ENG 12 Sep 1625 to marry Margaret Lovell.) He and his wife Margery Lovell made their way to the settlement on Cape Ann near the site of Gloucester.

Joined there by Roger Conant, a disaffected member of the Plymouth colony of Independents, after his enterprise at Cape Ann also went to pieces, four men were left to carry on: Balch, Conant, Peter Palfrey, and John Woodbury. Led by Conant they went S & W to a place called "Naumkeg" by the Indians (where his son Benjamin was born). Here they cleared the woods to plant an agricultural settlement and so became the founders of Salem, MA. These "old planters" as they were called, showed a religious tolerance unusual for the time. No one of these was said to take part in persecution of Baptists, Quakers and Witches. Balch and his wife, encouraged by White (the first minister at Dorchester), helped Conant found the first Salem church in 1629. He took the oath of freeman in 1631 (only church members were freemen, which meant the church practically governed the town). His third son was born at that time and named Freeborn. He held various offices, juryman, arbitrate, etc. When the MA colonists felt threatened by Thomas Morton & his crew at Merry Mount, he attended in 1628, a meeting of heads of various Plantations to consult for the common safety.
Conant, Palfrey, Balch, Woodbury and Wm. Trank (Wm. Trask?) were given a tract of 1000 acres on the Bass River,, now part of the town of Beverly. In 1636-8, John Balch built his house there, said to be now the oldest frame house in MA with a written record. For many years it was maintained by an association of descendents.

NICHOLAS WALLINGTON/WALLINGFORD

NICHOLAS WALLINGFORD I was born in or near WALLINGFORD, ENGLAND in the year 1619. He migrated from the parish of NETHER WALLOP, HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND and came to America in the ship "CONFIDENCE OF LONDON" in 1638. (Waters and Emmerton Genealogical Gleanings in England published in 1885) On this voyage the "CONFIDENCE OF LONDON, JOHN JOBSON, Master" sailed from SOUTH HAMPTON on April 24, 1638  and landed at BOSTON. The log of the ship names NICHOLAS  WALLINGTON, poor boy: (ie) WALLINGFORD aged 19 as one of the passengers.

Sometime after his landing at BOSTON, NICHOLAS WALLINGFORD joined the colonists at NEWBURY, MASSACHUSETTS. He became Master Mariner and for many years followed the shipping trade. He was taken captive at sea and never returned. Presumably, NICHOLAS WALLINGFORD was either held captive until his death or was murdered by pirates. He was last at home in 1681 and his estate was settled in 1684.

1. Nicholas1 Wallingford, son of Unknown Wallingford and Unknown Gore, was born possibly in Nether Wallop, Southampton, England probably between 1620 and 1635.(1)  Nicholas died in captivity overseas, before 22 September 1681, in "Argone". Certification of his death by Mr. Thomas Kellon, a merchant, was made to the court at Ipswich, Mass. on 27 September 1681, and an inventory of his estate had been made on the 22d.(2)  Nicholas had been captured at sea while on a voyage to England and died in captivity, so likely died long before the news reached home. Evidence for this fact is contained in his probate files in a 1683 petition from his wife where she states that he "being going for England was taken Captive and there ended his Days". Some secondary sources state that he was captured by Barbary pirates, but this is likely only supposition, although perfectly plausible. The inventory of his estate begins "An Inventory of ye Estate of Nicholaus Wallingford who Deceased in Argone."(3)  This would seem to indicate that the name of the place where he died is called "Argone". Three possible locations for this would be "Aragon", a part of Spain, "Argonne", a part of France, and "Arguin", a fortified trading station dominating a section of the West African coast, now in Mauritania. Arguin was under contention between the Dutch and the French about that time and was also being visited by some adventurous English traders.

He married Sarah Travers, 30 August 1654, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(4) Sarah was born about 1636, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(5) Sarah was the daughter of Henry Travers and Bridget Fitts?. Sarah died by 22 August 1709. Administration of her estate was granted to her son John on that date, when she was referred to as "Sarah Wallingford alias Mash", of Bradford, "Relict of Nicholas Wallingford of Bradford."(6) THE TRAVERS

Nicholas' last name was usually spelled Wallington in the early records, but by the second generation most of the family was using the spelling 'Wallingford'. It was spelled Wallingford in his uncle William Gore's will. This will, dated 22 January 1655/6 and proved 29 March 1656 has a clause giving "To Nicholas & Margaret, son and daughter of my late sister Wallingford, twenty pounds apiece in one year after my decease." William Gore was from the town of Nether Wallop in Southampton, England, and was probably the son of William and Joane Gore/Goore, also of Nether Wallop.

The actual will hasn't been checked yet, just Waters' abstract of it. At the end of this abstract it ads that "If my cousin Nicholas Wallingford shall have issue of his body or Margaret Wallingford have issue of her body then, &c."(17) Apparently this clause, which isn't fully spelled out by Waters, intends to give an inheritance to any children that Nicholas or Margaret may have. This evidently came to pass as we have from the N.H. Probate records the following: "Know all men by these pnts that whereas wee John Wallingford, James Wallingford and Joseph Poore in right of Mary my wife Children of Nicholas Wallingford late of Newbury decd have sold unto William Longfellow of the same Newbury the Sume of Forty pounds a peice given unto either of us a legacy from our late great Uncle William Goore of Hampshire in and by his last will and Testamt bearing date 22nd January 1655 and have by our letter of Attourny of even date with these pnts Impoured the said William Longffellow in our name to demand require and receive the same; which is to be to his own proper use: And wee do hereby each of us respectively for our Selves promise and engage, that if the said letter of Attourny should miscarry, or be found in any respect too short for the obteining and recovery of the sd Legacies, wee will at any time or times hereafter upon demand and at the cost & charges in the law of the sd William Longfellow or his heirs give unto him or them under oE hands and Seales (and the hand and Seale also of Mary Poore if thought needfull) such further and other letter or letters of Attourny containing all power strength and Authority that wee can be capable of giveing unto him or them in the law for recovery of the [promises?]. Witness our hands hereunto Set this Sixteenth day of November, Anno Dom 1686. Signed John Wallingford, James Wallingford, Joseph Poore. Signed and Delivd in the presence of us.-- Joseph Ba[ily?], Isa Addington. [Joseph Bailey and Isaac Addington acc. to NH State Papers abstract]

Nicholas Wallingford came from England in the ship Confidence from London in 1638, landing in Boston. Customs House records published in the NEHGR are prefaced with the following note: "The List of the Names of the Passengrs Intended for New England in the good shipp the Confidence of London of CC [200] tonnes, John Jobson, M[aste]r And thus by vertue of the Lord Treasrs warr[an]t of the xjth [11th] of Aprill, 1638. Southampton, 24 Aprill, 1638". Among the passengers were Stephen and Margery Kent, husband and wife aged 17 and 16 respectively, whose origins in England were not stated on the passenger list as were most of the other passengers. [One source states the Stephen was from Salisbury, England and his wife Margery (Norris) was from Wallopp, co. South.(18) ] With them were four young people aged 9 through 20 described as servants, as well as "Nicholas Wallington, a poore boy", whose age was not given.(19) The fact that he was listed among the servants yet not described as one probably means that he was not a servant. In any case from this we can guess that he was probably aged in the range of 5 to 15 years old at the time, give or take. A manuscript Wallingford genealogy by Charles Wallingford(20) states that the ship's log gives his age as 19, and one by Samuel Shackford(21) gives his age as 9, but no age appears in the published records in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register so this is suspect. Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts" also gives him a fictitious age of 9. If he was 19 at the time he would have been born about 1619, married at age 35 to a woman about 18 years his junior, had his last child at age 61, and disappeared at sea aged in his early 60s. It seems more likely that he was about nine years old and born closer to 1630 than to 1620.

Nicholas Wallington witnessed the will of John Cutting of Newbury 22 October 1659(22) . On 18 June 1662 he owned land in the town of Rowley, as shown by a lease of that date in which Phillip Nelson of Rowley let to Robert Savery and William Bolton of Newbury a farm in Rowley of 300 acres, bounded on the east by the Newbury town line, on the west by land of "Nicolas Walington", on the north by the Merrimack River, and on the south by Crane Meadow.(23)

Nicholas Wallington served as surveyor of Highways, fences and chimneys in Bradford in 1667 with John Hardy.(24)

In a Court held at Salem, Mass., 25 June 1667: "Copy of deed, dated Oct. 16, 1661, John (his mark) Willcot of Newbury and Mary, his wife, to Nicolas Wallington of Newbury, the half farm he purchased of Philip Nellson of Rowley, etc. Wit: Joseph Muzzey, Trustram Coffin, Robert Lange, John Pike, and Hugh Marsh. Acknowledged Mar. 25 1662, by John Wolcott. Copy made, June 24, 1667, by Robert Lord"(25) . At a later Court held in Ipswich on 24 September 1667, Nicholas sued John Wolcott for not making good on this parcel of land. The verdict was for the defendant.(26)

In February 1670 Nicholas "Wallinghton" was mentioned in court records as someone who "frequently communed with" members of Mr. Edward Woodman's church despite not being a member(27). He was a freeman in Newbury 11 October 1670.(28) In November 1672 he owed 3 pounds to the estate of Abraham Toppan of Newbury.(29) On 24 February 1672 town orders regarding fences, swine, cattle, and horses were signed by five people, including Nicolas Wallingford.(30) No town was stated in this record, but since Bradford came into existence in 1675 it was most likely Newbury. "Nicolas Walington" was a member of a grand jury in Ipswich, 25 September 1677.(31) By a deed acknowledged on 29 January 1677[/8?] he gave one acre of meadow in the Crane Meadow, bounded on Crane Brook, "to have an able & faithful ministry settle amongst the inhabitants of the s[ai]d Towne of Bradford" (Essex Deeds, 4 Ips.: 130)(32)

He settled in Newbury, Mass. and, judging by the birth records of his children, was apparently living in Bradford by 1672, which is when that town was first named. He may have lived a short time in Rowley, Mass., about 1662-3, as evidenced by the fact that he owned land there in 1662 and one of his childen's birth's was recorded in the Rowley town records (although also in the Newbury town records at the same time). Of course, Bradford was originally part of Rowley, known as "Merrimack" or "The Merrimac Lands"(33) , so these lands may have been in what later became Bradford.

At a court held in Ipswich on 27 September 1681, administration of the estate of Nicholas Wallingford was granted to Sarah Wallingford, relict of said Nicholas, and Caleb Hopkinson, and they were ordered to bring in an inventory to the next March court. This action was performed "upon a certificate received from Mr. Tho. Kellon, merchant, on the death of Nicholas Walingford".(34)

This inventory of the estate of Nicholas Wallingford the Administrators upon oath delivered to be a true Inventory to the best of their knowledge & if more appears [illeg.] ye court [illeg.] at Ipswich the 28 of March 1682. Attest Robert Ford clerk for ordering of the estate the court orders the estate to be left in the widdows hand for the bringing up the young child and the lame child but the land to be responsable to be ordered by the court."

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

His widow petitioned the court:

"To the Honored Generall Court sitting at Boston the 16th of May 1683. The Humble petition of Sarah Wallingford to this Honored Court is as followeth. Whereas by Gods Providence my Late Deare husband being going for England was taken Captive and there ended his Days, hath left your poore handmaid with her children sivirall of whom Small & not Capable to doe anything towards a livily hood; the Court at Ipswich having Granted Administration to myself of the estate which is most of it is wilderness land; not above two acres of said land in Improvement. I [cannot tell?] which was to make any releise of it for our subsistance; the rest of the moveable estate being so little not sufficient to pay Debts which can be spared; and for our support I am still [illeg.] running into Debt: The Humble request of your petitioner is, that this Court would Impower your petitioner or some other [meet?] person to make sale of some part of the Land for releife of the family and to pay what Debts are yet unpaid; for it is [conceived?] that it will be more advantageous [yet land it?] sold to pay Debts than to have it taken away by the Creditors and that [land?] it be disposed of for releife then to be under-- [illeg.] all want the estate is vallued at a very high rate and some think it will not be valued at about half so much [as?] it is [appraised?] at, if it be taken by Execution; If some speedy Course be not taken, I know not which way to subsist, but must fall into the hands of others for releife, therefore in trust that God may [illeg.] to that wch may be best for our pro-- [illeg.] & future benefitt for which yor humble Petitioner shall pray. Sarah Wallingford

There [or then?] was my son in law named put into the letter of Administration but he will not undertake nor be engatged unless there be [illeg.] given, to sell some land to pay Debts & relieve us."

The court granted Caleb Hopkinson & Sarah Wallingford administrators "liberty to make sale of part of the Land belonging to sd estate to the valew of forty pounds according to Inventory already Given in."

On 28 March 1682 the probate court ordered that Nicholas' personal estate be left in the widow Sarah's hands "for the bringing up of the young child and the lame child". The young child is likely Abigail, who would have been less than two years old at the time. But the "lame" child is unidentified. If one assumes that a "lame" or handicapped child would not have married (perhaps a false assumption) that leaves either William or Joseph, who died unmarried, or Hannah, about whom it is not known whether or not she ever married. ~1636 - ~1703 Sarah Travers 67 67 RFN1061 1655 - 1655 John Wallingford RFN1062 2 JAN 1656/57 - <1703 Nicholas Wallingford RFN1063 1659 - <1703 John Wallingford 44 44 RFN1064 1661 - 9 FEB 1682/83 Sarah Wallingford RFN1065 Caleb Hopkinson RFN1066 1665 - >1703 James Wallingford 38 38 RFN1067 1667 Hannah Wallingford RFN1068 27 FEB 1669/70 - 5 MAR 1684/85 William Wallingford RFN1069 1672 - >1703 Joseph Wallingford 31 31 RFN1070 1674 Elizabeth Wallingford RFN1071 Jonathan Look RFN1072 1676 Esther Wallingford RFN1073 1678 Benjamin Wallingford RFN1074 1680 Abigail Wallingford RFN1075 ~1600 Henry Travers Sarah's father, whose name is sometimes spelled Travis, came from London, England in the "Mary and John" early in 1634. Some secondary sources have said he was of Irish ancestry, but there is no evidence for this. The passengers of the "Mary and John" went first to Agawam, now Ipswich, Mass., and in 1635 many of them, Henry Travers included, moved to Newbury. He was granted six acres of salt marsh in the Great Marsh, and a house lot of half an acre near the First Landing Place. Also four acres in another part of Newbury.(7) He was on a list of 91 freeholders of Newbury on 7 December 1642.(8)

His wife Bridget may have been a sister of Richard Fitts of Ipswich and Newbury, Mass., as in the latter's will dated 2 December 1672 he mentions his sister "Travisse's" daughter. As the term 'sister' could also refer to a sister-in-law, it is also possible that Richard Fitts was a brother-in-law, or even a step-relation of some sort. The widow Bridget married, 30 March 1659, Richard Window of Gloucester, Mass. She may have been married to a Goodwin before marrying Henry Travers.(9) It is also possible that Henry had a wife before Bridget in England before he came to America, although that may never be known.

In a Court held at Ipswich, Mass. on 29 September 1646, "John Emery, for his miscarriage with the wife of Henry Traverse, fined 3 li. [pounds] or to be whipped, and pay witness fee to Christopher Bartlet. Bound to good behavior and not to frequent the company of the wife of Henry Traverse. Brigett Traverse fined 10s. for her misdemeanors."(10)

Henry Travers was a seaman. In 1648 he went to London and never returned, leaving behind his wife Bridget, daughter Sarah and a son James. Before he left he wrote a will that began "This 26th day of July, 1648, I Henrie Travers of Newbury, having occasion to go to Sea and know not whether I shall live to Com againe, I do by this present declare my last Will and Testament, as followeth..." To his daughter Sara he left a cow and a 3-year old heifer, as well as two brass pots, a little kettel, a frying pan, and a table board.(11)

In 1655 the widow Bridget petitioned the court regarding the estate, and said, in part, "That whereas Henry Travers, my husband, went away to England from mee seaven years agone, and left mee two children; my Daughter was of the age of ten years, and my son not full three years of age. He then made his will and gave my daughter a Cow and a Heifer, to be paid to her at twelve years old... ...my daughter being now marryed I have payed to her two heifers." At one point in this petition she states "And since he [her husband] went [to England] I have not heard of him but once, which is five years since(12) ." Since Henry left seven years earlier it appears that two years later she somehow got word of him, or heard from him. It sounds like the man decided to stay in England and abandon his family back in America. What became of him after this point is unknown, although on 15 July 1659 an inventory of his estate was made, and he was called "late of Newbury, deceased".(13)

At a Court held in Ipswich, Mass. 27 September 1659, the will of Henry Travers was presented, but not proved. "Administration was granted to his widow, Bridgett, now wife of Richard Window. Nicolas Walington, who married his daughter, Sarah Traverse, had already received three pounds, and the court ordered the administratrix to pay them twelve pounds more, and to the son, James Traverse, thirty pounds when he comes of age, and the rest of the estate, which amounted to 92 li. [pounds], to the widow, the land to stand bound for the children's portions."(14)

After Bridget Travers married Richard Window in 1659 they moved to Gloucester. Richard's will dated 2 May 1665 and proved 27 June 1665 mentions the Travers children with this section: "And Conserning James travis: thirty pounds which the Honored Court was pleased to aloue him out of his fathers inheritanc which lis in Neckeles waringtans hands which is his portion."(15)

Bridget, widowed once more, was deceased by 9 November 1673 when her estate was in probate. Administration was granted to Nicholas Wallingford and James Travis. An inventory was done on 9 October 1673 that came to 11 pounds, 12 shillings, and 3 pence. Mrs. Samuel Worcester and Elizabeth, his wife, testified that "within two or three dayes before the death of the Widdow Window, wee heard her declare that her will, as to her disposall of w[ha]t estate she had, was that her son in Law Nicolas Wallington, who ought her forty shillings, giveing to his son John Wallington an Ewe lamb out of it should have the rest of the said forty shillings; and that her Grandchild Sarah Wallington should have her best coat; and that her son James Traves should have her bed; and that the rest of her estate should be equally divided between her son Nicolas Wallington & James Traves". Sworn November 25, 1673.(16) Elizabeth Worcester comes into the picture again after her husband Samuel died because she became the second wife of Onesiphorus Marsh, whose third wife was Sarah Travers. ~1610 Bridget Fitts RFN1077 1645 James Travers RFN1078 1683 - 1683 Infant Poore ?

ROBERT S TUART, our immediate ancestor, second child and eldest
son of EBENEZER, of DUN CAN STUART; was born at Rowley, Nov. 26, 1701.
In his youth he was in the pers onal service of Gov. William Dummer, at
Newbury, Mass. On Dec. 11, 1727, he ma rried Anne Adams, a relative and
co-descendant with the Governor from John Dum mer, of Bishopstoke,
Eng., he being of the 4th and she of the 6th generation f rom John
through the two brothers Richard and Stephen that came to Newbury in
1638. (See Ancestral Chart, page 108, and Appendix D for Dummer,
Sewall, Long fellow and Adams        records.) Anne Adams was born
April 29, 1705, and was of the 4th generation from Robert Adams, who
came to Ipswich in 1635.
Robert Stuart took his bride upon the pillion behind him to spend
their winter's hone ymoon in a leg cabin on his land in the Kingston
Woods. From deeds on record I find that he owned land in Rowley in
1723, he selling land then; and in 1729 he sold land with buildings in
Rowley. (See Appendix E.)
Not being fully sati sfied with his location in Kingston Robert
Stuart removed to the Newtown Woods between the years 1741, he then
being "of Kingston," and 1745, when he is on record in a deed as of
Amesbury. (See Appendix E.) He probably desired to get back into
Massachusetts, the King having decreed in 1740 that Kingston should be
a part of New Hampshire. If that was his object his effort was futile,
for the State line was at length established a few rods south of his
house. (See Appendix F.)
Our family traditions say that Anne's two brothers, Joseph and
S amuel used to visit her frequently, but her father, who was greatly
opposed to her going into the wilderness, came but once, when, finding
the cabin uncomfo rtably cool he set to work stopping the chinks
between the logs. They were in the habit of salting down a beef and a
hog each fall for poorer neighbors. A r elative not naturally so
generous as themselves reported to him seeing his wif e give a whole
strip of pork away, and got for answer that it was put into the barrel
for his wife to give to whoever needed it and that he had nothing
far ther to do with it.
He was an early riser, and while making ??call upon a neig hbor one
evening, being told that his turn would come next, as a certain
wild cat that had been ravaging the roosts of the vicinity had eaten
the last of hi s (Heath's) hens, he answered that if they got up as
early as he did they woul dn't have lost many hens.--On going out at
earliest dawn to feed his stock the next day he saw the wildcat jump
and seize a hen, and located the cat by the squawking of the hen in an
unoccupied cattle manger. By grasping the stanchion beam overhead with
his hands he succeeded in bringing his whole weight of ove r two
hundred pounds upon the wildcat at once; but not till the creature had
been able to turn and claw his buskins off and bite and scratch his
legs badly did he succeed in stamping the life out of it. Carrying the
carcass to the ho use he threw it upon the kitchen hearth, telling his
wife to get up and do up his wounds. He was unable to go out of the
house again that winter,--but no mo re hens were lost.
Like his fathers,--and I might add his descendants,--he was
always a little in advance of those about him in religion as well as
in polt ics and became a Baptist, or what was then called a "Schemer,"
In New Hampshir e As It Is I find that the first Baptist Church in New
Hampshire was organized in 1755 at Newtown.  Our great-grandfather
Robert Stuart built the first log church, hired and paid Elder Walter
Powers, and with Deacon Francis Chase invi ted all to come and hear THE
TRUTH FREE OF EXPENSE.
This was called "Stuart's Church," and claiming to have thus already
paid for support of the Gospel he refused to pay his "minister's tax."

4. JOHN, was b orn with ELIZABETH, October 20, 1707 according to
my notes, but by the Essex I nstitute Historical Collections he was
born in 1709, withno record of Elizabet h until her marriage. The
marriage intentions of John Stewart and Hannah Baile y were published
Nov. 10, 1732. She was born June 30, 1709, the daughter of Ca pt.
Jonathan. Bailey and his second wife, Sarah (Jewett.) On Feb. 16, 1735
Jo hn boys land in Rowley of his father, Ebenezer        Stuart. In
1737 he makes a deed to his brother Richard, in which both their names
are spelt with u, he styling himself John Stuart, Jr. He is then of
Rowley and mentions his father , Ebenezer. In a deed in 1744 he is a
husbandman, of Newbury, selling land in Rowley to his brother Richard,
again mentioning his father Ebenezer.
A death record in Rowley of "the wife of John Stewart, 16 Oct., 1752,"
is very likely of his wife, as in Newbury is a marriage record of
"John Steward and Mary Some rby, of Rowley, Dec. 12, 1753." John would
then be 44 or 46 years old. I get n o record of his death.
In the Newbury marriages after his removal to that plac e are these,

This book contains the history and genealogy of the Duncan Stuart
family of New Hampshire
OUR BRANCH AND ITS CONNECTIONS.
When commencing investigations in the winter of 1891 for tracing our family lineage back to the first settlers in this country the earliest information we had as from the tales of our grandmother, that they came in "the troublous times of King Charles." or about 1650 to 1660. Our Aunt, Ruth Hobson used to think they came earlier, and that they settled Stuartstown, in the extreme northern part of New Hampshire, the original immigrant, named Charles, fleeing from Scotland with a hundred followers. I find, however, that the grant of Stuartstown, N. H. was given to Sir George Cockburn, Sir George Coleman, John Stuart and John Nelson; and as the location must have been a very unsafe one previous to the conquest of Canada in 1760, and the settlement was so weak as to be abandoned after the Revolution broke out, this John could not be the immigrant from whom we descend.  Her version of the traditions, however, lead s me to conclude that our ancestor was in one of the defeated Scotch armies led into England by Charles Stuart, father or son, and fled here for safety. Both promised immunity from religious persecution to the Covenanters, and they flocked to the aid of each in turn. My aunt and sister say our ancestor was a Covenanter, "coming here to escape persecution;" but as the religious persecution of Covenanters did not begin till 1662, any
evidence of presence here befor e that time is evidence that our ancestor was a military refugee for acts in favor of Charles I, in 1646, or Charles II, in 1651.  Our traditions have "There was a Henry about that time, who went up country and was never heard from after;" also a Charles, "who went up north with a large party;" and of a Samuel, "who left for parts unknown."
  The attention of members of our family has been directed to advertisements in New York papers recurring at intervals of twenty years, for the heirs of Archibald Stuart, as being entitled to property left by Charles and Henry Stuart.  Our oldest sister, Sarah W., wrote to other relatives in 1873 that her attention had been directed to a similar one some forty years previously, and that she remembered talking with Aunt Hobson about it at the time, not then knowing the date of this Archibald's immigration. A letter from a claim agent, named Spear, to our brother Robert about the year 1855 set that at rest by giving the date of Archibald's emigration as 1797, and that the Charles and Henry were Surgeons in the British Army during our Revolution, nearly a century after our earliest record.  This earliest record of our grandmother's time was seen in grandmother's desk at Newtown by my sister Ruth as late as 1830. It was a fragment of a deed, dated 1700, giving "to my beloved son, Eben-" (the rest of that name and the name of the donor eaten by mice .) As a family possession, dated the year before the birth, of our great-grand father Robert, this was presumptive evidence that "Eben-" was his father. Of Robert we knew that in youth he was in the personal service of Gov. Dummer, of Massachusetts, then residing at Newbury, near to Rowley, the birth-place of Robert, and a relative of whom this Robert married.  Of Robert's brothers our traditions say little, while of his sisters we knew that two married Websters; o ne married Ezra Clough; and another William Davis, they all settling about him upon parts of his land in Kingston and Newtown. "Squire" Isaac Webster, of Deep Brook came from one of the sisters and "Wildeat" Isaac Webster from the other; but I fail to learn to which each of these is to be credited. I think from the one marrying a Davis came Gilbert and Alfred Davis, the last still a resident of Newtown in 1892, when I visited my birthplace.

James Stua rt, son of Duncan, as he styles himself in the deed of 1718,
was born in Newbu ry Oct. 8, 1664, and with his wife Elizabeth had
James, July 19, 1688; Charles , Jan. 16, 1690; then moved to Rowley and
had Edward, Sept. 20, 1693; Abigail, Nov. 26, 1695; Solomon, July 24,
1698; Benjamin, Mar. 3, 1700-buried Mar. 20, 1702; David, Jan. 9,
1702-choked to death by a copper coin, Jan. 10, 1706; an d at Boxford,
Moses, July 9, 1712. In the deed of 1718        he is recorded a s of
Boxford, and in one of Mar. 17, 1724, as of Bradford, buying back land
i n Rowley. His wife probably died 29th Dec., 1747, as in the book of
deaths in Rowley there is the record of "the wife of James Stewart"
dying then. James is recorded, "died, James Stewart in his 86th year,
17th Sept.,1750."
Presumabl y of his son James I find a marriage record of "James
Stewart and Sarah Prime. both of Rowley, 23 June, 1733." Also the
marriage record of "James Stewart an d Mary Boynton, both of Rowley,
11th Jan. or June, 1742."
She was a daughter of Jonathan Boynton and born 21st of Aug.,
1720; the marriage dates are from d ifferent volumes, vols. VI and X'X,
of Essex Institute Historical Collections, as given to me. This
marriage could hardly refer to James,  son of Duncan or to his son, on
account of disparity in age, but rather to a great-grandson of Duncan.
Mary's mother married David Gage, of Bradford,May 12, of the same
yea r. A marriage is recorded of James Stewart and Sarah Prime, both of

daughter Abigail se ems to have married John Yell, of Ipswich, 29 Nov.,
1736, she then being 42 ye ars old. His son Solomon, born 1698, and
wife Martha have a record of Benjamin , Jan. 26, 1729; Solomon, Jan.

A Daniel, so n of Solomon, was baptised at Salem, middle precinct, now
South Danvers, Nov. 24, 1734; also William, in March, 1737.--A Solomon
kept a store in Boxford abo ut 1730, where he sold        stationery,
and later a William was a stationer there. In Boxford is the record of
"William Stuart married Abigaell Standly, M ar. 3, 1736; also "George
and Sarah Stuart had:--Sarah, July 4, 1745; William, March 24, 1746;
George, Dec. 16,1748." Whether these belong to James' record I could
not decide. 1666 - 1756 John Stuart 90 90 RFN1129

The first name mentioned in that deed after James is John Stuart, of
Rowley. I find he was born in Newbury in February or March, 1666,
three years before Henry. His first wife was named Elizabeth, and died
Dec. 20, 1689, nine days after their daughter Elizabeth was born. Both
he and James appear at Rowley soon after, an d in the first tax list
extant in Rowley (1691) John is taxed
1 9s.4d.
In 16 95 John is deeded land by Duncan, his father. He appears to have
had an Elizab eth for a second wife, as there is record of the birth in
Rowley of "Mary Stew art, daughter of John and Elizabeth, 3 Oct.,
1699.--[Essex Inst. Hist. Colls. vols. IV and V, where it seems the
name is spelt with ew always, though if unw illing to concede the
privilege of changing the spelling of a family name they should have
retained the final d, as found in Duncan's first deeds. This Mary may
have been the Mary of Rowley, that married Jeremiah Hunt, of
Billerica, 12 Aug., 1731, she being then 32 years old. A second
daughter by this Elizabet h was Sarah, born 25 Apr., 1712. Sarah seems
to have married Ephraim Boynton. also of Rowley, 2 May, 1732. Ephraim
was a son of Deacon Joseph and Bridget (H arris) Boyaton, born 16 July,
1707. He was dismissed from Rowley Church to Sec ond Church in
Lancaster, 19 Feb., 1761.
John's oldest daughter, Elizabeth pro bably married Ebenezer Gove, 28
March, 1728.--John's second wife appears to ha ve died without record
in Rowley; but I find a death record of "Mary, wife of John Stewart,
died 29 Sept., 1726," that probably was a third wife of this Joh n, as
his nephew, Ebenezer's John was but 17 at that time. He        appears
to have married on 8 March, 1727, Sarah (Clark, of Ipswich) Bailey,
the widow of Nathaniel Bailey, who had diedin 1722.
By the spelling of one report, John Stewart was a blacksmith in
Boxford about 1730, while the Town Clerk says "Sar ah, daughter of John
Stuart, baptised April, 1729." He probably returned to Ro wley before
1736, as his nephew in a deed of that year is styled John Stuart, Jr.,
son of Ebenezer. In Rowley is the death record of "the wife of John
Stew art, 7 Feb., 1749," and of the marriage of "Mr. John Stewart and
widow Margare t Gage, 5 Sept. 1749," that may refer to him, as from his
age and probable ret irement from active life he may have been given
the title, as also to distingu ish him from his nephew of the same
name, who would for the same reason be sty led John Jr. The widow Gage
would have been his fourth wife.
Another theory o f the marriage of the widow Gage to some
person of this name with a prefix of "Mr." is given on page 144, but
this would seem the more plausible. John died on the 23rd of Decemder,
1756, aged 90 yrs, and 8 or 9 mos. ~1668 - >1704 Anna Stuart 36 36 RFN1130 1669 Henry Stuart RFN1131

BIOGRAPHY
The Chase Family is said to be of Norman origin - the name being derived from the French word "chasseur" (to hunt). As early as 1326
fam ilies of Chase resided in Suffolk, England.  The family which came to America was from Hundrich Parish of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, some thirty miles northwest from London. A rapidly running river, The Chess, runs through this area, giving its name to the place. This is indicated in the records of the Herald's Visitation 1634, Buckinghamshire.

The Chase arms: Gules four crosses patonce argent (two and two) on a canton azure a lion passant.

It is thought that Thomas and Aquila Chase having a knowledge of navigation, were in the employ of their uncle, Thomas Chase, who
was part owner of the "John and Francis"' which was named in a letter of Marque i n 1626.  The Chase name is so rare in England, it is assumed the flower of the family emigrated to America. They were by nature enterprising and high minded people. Released from the trammels of aristocracy and conservatism of the old country, on entering into the breath and freedom of new circumstances, they at once took the front rank in the new world.

Thomas Chase of Chesham, England was born about 1400 and was descended from an ancient family there. We have a record of one son.
He was named John and he had a son Mathew born about 1486. He was also of Chesham. ~1588 Elizabeth Wheeler RFN1179 King Of Judah Amon 1592 Jane Wheeler RFN1181 ~1593 Robert Wheeler RFN1182 1613 John Wheeler RFN1183 1615 - ~1687 George Wheeler 72 72 RFN1184 Susanna Stowers RFN1185 1617 William Wheeler RFN1186 1624 Mercy Wheeler RFN1187 1625 - ~1669 David Wheeler 44 44 RFN1188 1675 James Philbrick 1625 Thomas Wheeler RFN1190 10 JAN 1617/18 - 1690 Elizabeth Wheeler RFN1191 Matthias Button RFN1192 ~1606 Thomas Dustin RFN1193 1629 Adam Wheeler RFN1194 1630 - 1661 Roger Wheeler 31 31 RFN1195 Mary Wilson RFN1196 Mary Stone RFN1197 1632 Edward Wheeler RFN1198 1635 - 1696 Henry Wheeler 61 61 RFN1199 Abigail Allen RFN1200 1636 Joseph Wheeler RFN1201 4 JAN 1605/06 - 1659 William Chase RFN1202
BIOGRAPHY
The record of Rev. John Eliot, the Indian Apostle, of "such as
adjoyned themselves to this church," the First Church of Roxbury, has
thi s entry:
"William Chase, he came with the first company, bringing with
him hi s wife Mary and his son William." The maiden name of his wife is
not known. Th e son William was about seven years old at the time of
migration. The father a pplied for admission as a freeman, October 19,
1630. He was a town officer at Roxbury. He served against the
Narragansetts in 1645. He removed to Yarmouth, Massachusetts, in
1638, and died there. His will, dated May 4, 1659, states th at he was
aged. It was proved May 13, 1659, hence his death occurred in May of
that year. He bequeathed to his wife Mary and two sons, Benjamin and
William (see N. E. Hist. Reg. V. 388). His daughter Mary was buried at
Barnstable, Ma ssachusetts, October 28, 1652. The early records of the
town of Yarmouth were destroyed by fire, so that it is impossible to
give the dates of birth and dea th of all the children.

AN INTRODUCTION
I publish this book on William Chase, the first Chase in
America, in the hope t hat we his descendants may have a more perfect
understanding from whence we ca me and thus a better idea of where we
go. In this day when young people are st ruggling for identity, what
better way to find it than to find where they have been.
In 1928 John Carroll Chase and George Walter Chamberlain
published The Descendants of Aquila and Thomas Chase. Five years
later, Mr. Chamberlain com piled for Mr. Chase a like genealogy of
William Chase. This record was then pu blished in the New England
Historical and Genealogical Registers for the years 1933 and 1934. It
is now published with the New England Historic Genealogical Society's
permission in book form as it was printed fifty years ago.
I hope you can find your ancestor where the compiler left off
and that you will conti nue your record on the pages left blank for
that purpose.

first of the Chase name to settle in N ew England, came with his family
to Roxbury in 1630.
As he married in England , before 1627, MARY (???), and had a
son born there as early as 1627, he proba bly was born about 1600. He
died at Yarmouth between 4 May 1659, the date of h is will, and 13 May
1659, when his will was proved. His widow, Mary, died ther e on or
before 6 Oct. 1659.
William Chase and his family lived at Roxbury fro m 1630 to

This baronial family of De Molins, who bacame resident under Edward III are stated to derive their surname from the town so called in Bourbonnais, but there may have been an earlier settlement from one of the numerous places in Normandy called Moulines or Moulins, from Molendina or water wells there existing.
In Gisbourn M's account, no mention is made of the 3rd and 4th sons. ~1138 Beatrice de Villiers ~1108 Robert de Villiers ~1107 Adam de Molyneux Lord of Sefton and Speke, Adam is recorded as having given a grant of land in Mulling to the church of the Virgin Mary of Corksands, sealed with his seal of the Cross Molins and bearing the Legend "S. Adam's de Molineux". ~1111 Annora le Garnett ~1081 Benedict le Garnett ~1081 Vivian de Molyneux Vivian and his brother, Captain William Molyneux (some records make Captain William the father of Vivian), were in the 1st expedition of the Army sent by William the Conqueror under the conduct of Roger de Poytiers (Poictou), Earl of Lancaster, in 1066. de Poytiers was then possessed of all the tracts of land in Lancaster between the river Robbie and Mersy by gift of the crown, and gave half of land as services of Knights fee as well as the manors of Septon, Thorndon, Kerdon in Co. Lancaster to Captain William Molyneux who made Septon his chief seat. Vivian succeeded Captain William Molyneux to these holdings (whether as brother or as son).
Vivian, after the succession, was placed in de Poytiers castle at Liverpool to act as governor and Castellanus, in the utmost limits of the earldom. He was succeeded by his son Adam. ~1085 Sywarde ~1055 William de Molyneux ~1027 Robert de Moulin WHERE IT ALL BEGAN:
Robert was the son of a Spanish Priest of noble family and a French Nun, who left the Cloister, going to Moulin, where Robert was born, his mother giving him the name Robert de Moulin, after the place where he was born. She is spoken of by many as Heloise, and the priest was Peter Abelard. With much scandal in the church Peter and Heloise were privately married after Robert's birth. The union did not appease the wrath of the canon, however, and Abelard was expelled from the priesthood and became one of the founders of the Oblates, a society still existing in the Caucasian Mountains. Tradition also tells us that from this order often comes the call to the House of Molyneux, and when this call comes, the one called leaves all to obey. Robert was known as "The Comte de Meulin." He eventually married but no record has been found of her. ~1306 - 1388 Sir William de Bold 82 82 ~1308 - 1388 Sibyl de Hoghton 80 80 ~1260 - ~1341 Sir Richard Houghton 81 81 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.

King of the Franks 629-639

In 623, Dagobert's father, Chlotar II, King of the Franks, made him kingof Austrasia to please the leading Austrasian nobles: Mayor of the PalacePepin I and Saint Arnulf, Bishop of Metz.

When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and hemoved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left thecouncil 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 throneof Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made hisMayor of the Palace.

The Neustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so theyurged 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 thenobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlledboth his sons, now puppet kings. 0585 Ragnetrude De Bourgogne ~0585 - 0641 Fara of Bavaria 56 56 0584 - 0628 Clothaire II Meroving 44 44 King of Soissons 584-613

When his father, King Chilperic I of Soissons died in 584, Chlotar wasnot yet even born. Until 597, his kingdom was administered by his mother,Queen Fredegund, but when she died that year he bagan to rule for himself, now 13 years old. In 613, the Austrasian and Burgundian kings,Theudebert II and Theuderic II respectively, had died, and Queen Brunhild had placed the young Sigebert II on the throne of those two kingdoms.That year, the 29 year old Chlotar had Sigebert and Brunhild killed, and became the first king of all the Franks since his grandfather Chlotar Idied in 561.

In 615, Chlotar passed the Edict of Paris, a sort of French Magna Carta that greatly pleased the nobles across the kingdom. In 623, he gave the kingdom of Austrasia to his young son Dagobert I, which was a political move giving Pepin I, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, and Bishop Arnulfof Metz, the two leading Austrasian nobles, semi-autonomy for their loyalty to Chlotar. In 629, Chlotar died and Dagobert became sole king, moving his capital from Austrasia to Paris. 0586 - 0618 Haldetrude Bertrude De Burgundy 32 32 0608 - 0631 Charibert 23 23 0603 Emma De Neustrie 0595 Brynhild ~0648 Valtrude De Verdun ~0538 - >0605 Duke of Franconia Richemeres 67 67 0540 Garritrude De Hamage D. 0570 Duke on the Mossele Ansbertus ~0570 Ragnetrude De Burgundy ~0525 Theodebald De Baviere ~0525 Count De Orleans Betton Duke of Franconia & Burgundy ~0530 Austregilde Aiga ~0500 De Pastor ~0505 Ragnoara Cambrai ~0465 Ragnomer Cambrai ~0500 Parovius De Reims ~0475 Pretextat De Reims ~0523 - 0584 Chilperic 61 61 When Chlotar, King of the Franks, died in 561 he divided the kingdomamong his four sons: Chilperic received Soissons. Right away, in 562,Chilperic invaded the lands of his brother King Sigebert I of Metz, thusstarting the civil wars. Sigebert advanced all the way to the city ofSoissons, exiled Chilperic's son Theudebert, and forced a peace treatyout of Chilperic. In 567, their brother King Charibert I of Paris died,the kingdom was partitioned among the two and their other brother KingGuntram of Burgundy, and Chilperic immediately invaded Sigebert's legalshare, but was defeated.

Chilperic next allied with Guntram against Sigebert (who was in the midstof a war with Guntram). As hostilities mounted, Guntram swiched hisalliance to Sigebert and Chilperic surrendered. The same exact thinghappened the next year, 575, when Guntram again allied with Chilperic.That year, Sigebert died and left his kingdom to his son Childebert II.Chilperic banished Sigebert's wife Brunhild, took her money, andimprisoner her daughters. Chilperic then renewed hostilities withGuntram. In that year, Guntram's general Mummolus defeated DukeDesidarius, Chilperic's senior general. In 577, Guntram and Childebert
made an alliance, demanding all of the lands Chilperic took from them.When the dysentery epidemic swept through Gaul in 580, Chilperic not onlylost two sons but became ill himself. However, by the next year he wasdoing better and was able to make peace with Childebert. That year, asChilperic had no sons of his own, he named his nephew, King Childebert IIof Austrasia, his successor. A war with Guntram began and ended this yearin which Duke Desidarius took many cities from the kingdom of Burgundy.In 582, Chilperic and Fredegund had another son, Theuderic, who died twoyears later. In 584,
Chilperic was assassinated. He died at peace with his brother Guntram andat war with his nephew and alleged successor Childebert, but left a sonborn that very year: Chlotar.

Her view of politics included assassinations, and so attempts were made at the lives of King Childebert II of Austrasia (585), King Guntram of Burgundy (587), Queen Brunhild(584), and many others.

He united the dominions of the Salian Franks on the northern Rhine River and the Ripuarian Franks on the lower Rhine. Clovis began with a victory in 486 over the last Roman governor in northern Gaul. By 493 he had absorbed many territories that surrounded his capital at Soissons. Clovis converted to Christianity in 496. He had completely defeated the confederation of Germanic tribes known as the Alamanni by 506; the next year the Visigoths were decisively defeated. Clovis made Paris the capital of the Frankish kingdom, which at that time included most of present-day France and southwestern Germany.

King of the Salian Franks 481-486
King of the Franks 486-511

CLOVIS (466?-511). The founder and king of the Frankish kingdom that dominated Western Europe in the early Middle Ages was Clovis. He supposedly became a great warrior after his conversion to Christianity when he was about 30 years old.

During a battle with a neighboring tribe of Teutons in 496, Clovis'warriors were being driven from the field. Their gods Odin and Thor seemed to have failed them. Then Clovis remembered that his wife,Clotilda, had urged him to become a Christian. He cried out, "Oh, Christ Jesus, I beseech thee for aid! If thou wilt grant me victory over mine enemies, I will believe in thee and be baptized in thy name!"

Clovis rallied his men and gained a victory, and within a few years, he and some of his warriors were baptized. But at heart Clovis remained the same rough warrior he had been before. When the monks told him the story of Christ's crucifixion, he clutched his battle-ax and cried: "If I had been there with my Franks, I would have revenged his wrongs!"

When Clovis at the age of 16 became king of one tribe of the Franks,these ancestors of the modern French nation were a scattered people with a number of kings. When he died, 30 years later, he had united all theFranks into a single powerful nation under his own rule. He overthrew the Roman power in Gaul in a battle near Soissons in 486, and before his death in Paris he had won for his people a kingdom that reached from the Rhine on the north and east almost to the Pyrenees on the south. So complete was the conquest by the Franks that this land ever since has been called France, from their name.

On Clovis' death in 511, the kingdom was split between Chlodomer (Orleans), Childebert (Paris), Chlotar (Soissons), and Theuderic (Metz). ~0467 Alboflede Blanchefleur De France ~0468 Lantraldis Lanthilde De France ~0415 - 0458 King of the Franks Maerovaee 43 43 ~0419 Vaerica ~0395 - 0447 Clodion Crinitis 'Long Haired' 52 52 *

Mandubratius Llud Llaw Eiri Julius Caesar invaded Britain during the reign of King Llud. Theomantius Tenantius King of Britons ~0364 Edern (Æternus) Ap Padarn Beli Mawr "The Great" Born about 110 b.c. died 62 b.c. Called Belenos by the Romans, was the Celtic God of the Sun, representing the curative powers of the Sun's heat. His festival of Beltane, when bonfires were lit to welcome in the Summer and encourage the Sun's warmth, was held on May 1st, and is remembered in today's May Day festivities. His symbols were the horse (as shown, for example, by the clay horse figurine offerings at Beli's Sainte-Sabine shrine in Burgundy), and also the Wheel (as illustrated on the famous Gundestrup Cauldron). Perhaps, like Apollo, whom he became identified with, Beli was thought to ride the Sun across the sky in a horse-drawn chariot.  Indeed, a Celtic model horse and wagon, carrying a gilded sun-disc, has been found at Trundholm in Denmark. Sometimes he is illustrated riding a single horse, throwing thunder-bolts (hence an occasional idenification with Jupiter) and using his symbolic radiating wheel as a sheild, as he tramples the chthonic forces of a snake-limbed giant. This personification is similar to the classic depiction of the Archangel St. Michael defeating the Devil. Sacred pagan hills associated with Beli, are thought to have had their dedications transferred to this saint (or sometimes St. George) by the early Christians. Well known examples include St. Michael's Mount (Cornwall) and the churches of St.Michael on Brent Tor (Devon), and Burrow Mump and Glastonbury Tor (Somerset): All on a supposed ley line that faces the Rising Sun a tBeltane. He may also have been worshipped on Dragon Hill below the great Uffington White Horse in Berkshire.

Beli Mawr is claimed as the founder of the Deisi, later rulers of the kingdom of Dyfed. His eldest son, Aballac, is claimed as the ancestor of Coel Hen, of Ebruac. His second child, daughter Lweriadd, marries Llyr Lleddiarth, who is claimed as the founder of Gwent.

After the Greeks captured Troy at the end of the Trojan War, Aeneas escaped with the help of his mother. His subsequent voyage is described in the epic the Aeneid, by Roman writer Virgil. When Aeneas reached Italy, he met Latinus, king of Latium, and became engaged to Lavinia, Latinus's daughter. The goddess Juno, however, who hated Aeneas, caused Turnus, king of the Rutuli, to make war against Aeneas and Latinus. Aeneas killed Turnus and married Lavinia, accomplishing the union that would eventually produce the Roman people.

* Note:
Priam was the king of Troy during its famous destruction. Priam was a direct descendant of Dardanus, son of Zeus, and became the king of Troy through natural succession. He married Hecabe and they started a family of their own.(1) Priam and his many children played crucial roles in the Trojan War. One of his sons in particular, Paris, was considered by many to be responsible for beginning the war. He was called upon to judge between the beauty of three goddesses - Athena, Aphrodite and Hera. (2) (3) Athena wins by promising Paris the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, who at the time was married to the Greek king Menelaus. Athena causes them to fall madly in love (4) and together they leave Sparta. (5) (6) Menelaus, the husband that Helen left behind, gathered together Greek troops and pursued the couple across the Aegean Sea to the city of Troy in order to reclaim his wife. (7) So began the Trojan War.

Zeus presided over the gods on Mount Olympus in Thessaly. He wore the aegis and wielded a terrible thunder bolt. His bird was the eagle and his tree the oak. His principal shrines were at Dodona and at Olympia, where the Olympian Games were celebrated in his honor every fourth year.
Zeus was the youngest son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. When Zeus grew to maturity he dethroned Cronus. Zeus henceforth ruled the sky, and his brothers Poseidon and Hades were given power over the sea and the underworld, respectively.
Zeus was the god of justice and mercy, the protector of the weak, and the punisher of the wicked. As husband to his sister Hera, he was the father of Ares, the god of war; Hebe, the goddess of youth; Hephaestus, the god of fire; and Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth. Zeus was a lecherous god. Many of his children were born to goddesses or mortal women after love affairs.

He was a wealthy merchant with many trading ships. It is said that after the Resurrection, Joseph brought Mary Magdalene to Gaul in one of his ships, and continued on to Britain. There he settled at Glastonbury, and is said to have owned land on one of the islands off the coast of Britain.

Joseph of Arimathaea, according to all four Gospels of the New Testament, a rich Jew of Arimathaea, probably a member of the Sanhedrin, the ancient Jewish court in Jerusalem, who after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, requested the body from the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate and placed it in his own tomb. According to some ancient writers he was later the founder of Christianity in Britain and of a monastery at Glastonbury; scholars, however, reject these claims. In the Arthurian cycle of romances
and in late medieval legend he brings the Holy Grail into Britain. There is no known Biblical connection to show his genealogical connection to this family as of this date.

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

REF: "Britannia Internet Magazine": Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy disciple of Jesus, who, according to the book of Matthew 27:57-60, asked Pontius Pilate for permission to take Jesus' dead body in order to prepare it for burial. He also provided the tomb where the crucified Lord was laid until his Resurrection. Joseph is mentioned in a few times in parallel passages in Mark, Luke and John, but nothing further is heard about his later activities. Legend, however, supplies us with the rest of his story by claiming that Joseph, accompanying the Apostle Philip on a preaching mission to Gaul, was sent to Britain for the purpose of converting the island to Christianity. The year 63 AD is commonly given for this "event", with 37 AD sometimes being put forth as an alternative. It was said that Joseph achieved his wealth in the metals trade, and in the course of conducting his business, he probably became acquainted with Britain, at least the southwestern parts of it. Cornwall was a chief mining district and
well-known in the Roman empire for its tin and other metals. Some have even said that Joseph was the uncle of Jesus, and that he may have brought the young boy along on one of his business trips to the island. It was only natural, then, that Joseph should have been chosen for the first mission to Britain, and appropriate that he should come first to Glastonbury, that gravitational center for legendary activity in the West Country. Much more was added to Joseph's legend during the middle ages, and he was gradually inflated into a major saint and cult hero. For example, he is said to have brought with him either a cup, said to have been used at the Last Supper and also used to catch the blood dripping from Christ as he hung on the Cross. A variation of this story is that Joseph brought with him two cruets, one containing the blood and the other, the sweat of Christ. Either of these items are known as The Holy Grail, and were the object(s) of the quests of the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. The legend goes on to suggest that Joseph hid the "Grail" in Chalice Well at Glastonbury for safe-keeping. There is a wide variance of scholarly opinion on this subject, however, and a good deal of doubt exists as to whether Joseph ever came to Britain at all, for any purpose.

Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy disciple of Jesus, who, according to the book of Matthew 27:57-60, asked Pontius Pilate for permission to take Jesus' dead body in order to prepare it for burial. He also provided the tomb where the crucified Lord was laid until his Resurrection. Joseph is mentioned in a few times in parallel passages in Mark, Luke and John, but nothing further is heard about his later activities.

Apocryphal legend, however, supplies us with the rest of his story by claiming that Joseph accompanied the Apostle Philip, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene & others on a preaching mission to Gaul. Lazarus & Mary stayed in Marseilles, while the others travelled north. At the English Channel, St. Philip sent Joseph, with twelve disciples, to establish Christianity in the most far-flung corner of the Roman Empire: the Island of Britain. The year AD 63 is commonly given for this "event", with AD 37 sometimes being put forth as an alternative. It was said that Joseph achieved his wealth in the metals trade, and in the course of conducting his business, he probably became acquainted with Britain, at least the south-western parts of it. Cornwall was a chief mining district and well-known in the Roman empire for its tin. Somerset was reknowned for its high quality lead. Some have even said that Joseph was the uncle of the Virgin Mary and therefore of Jesus, and that he may have brought the young boy along on one of his business trips to the island. Hence the words of Blake's famous hymn, Jerusalem:

And did those feet, in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?

It was only natural, then, that Joseph should have been chosen for the first mission to Britain, and appropriate that he should come first to Glastonbury, that gravitational center for legendary activity in the West Country. Local legend has it that Joseph sailed around Land's End and headed for his old lead mining haunts. Here his boat ran ashore in the Glastonbury Marshes and, together with his followers, he climbed a nearby hill to survey the surrounding land. Having brought with him a staff grown from Christ's Holy Crown of Thorns, he thrust it into the ground and announced that he and his twelve companions were "Weary All". The thorn staff immediately took miraculous root, and it can be seen there still on Wearyall Hill. Joseph met with the local ruler, Arviragus, and soon secured himself twelve hides of land at Glastonbury on which to build the first monastery in Britain. From here he became the country's evangelist.

Much more was added to Joseph's legend during the Middle Ages. He was gradually inflated into a major saint and cult hero, as well as the supposed ancestor of many British monarchs. He is said to have brought with him to Britain a cup, said to have been used at the Last Supper and also used to catch the blood dripping from Christ as he hung on the Cross. A variation of this story is that Joseph brought with him two cruets, one containing the blood and the other, the sweat of Christ. Either of these items are known as The Holy Grail, and were the object(s) of the quests of the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table. One legend goes on to suggest that Joseph hid the "Grail" in Chalice Well at Glastonbury for safe-keeping (Photo)

There is a wide variance of scholarly opinion on this subject, however, and a good deal of doubt exists as to whether Joseph ever came to Britain at all, for any purpose.

Joseph of Arimathea
All that is known for certain concerning him is derived from the canonical Gospels. He was born at Arimathea -- hence his surname -- "a city of Judea" (Luke, xxiii, 51), which is very likely identical with Ramatha, the birthplace of the Prophet Samuel, although several scholars prefer to identify it with the town of Ramleh. He was a wealthy Israelite (Matt., xxvii, 57), "a good and a just man" (Luke, xxiii, 50), "who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God" (Mark, xv, 43). He is also called by St. Mark and by St. Luke a bouleutes, literally, "a senator", whereby is meant a member of the Sanhedrin or supreme council of the Jews. He was a disciple of Jesus, probably ever since Christ's first preaching in Judea (John, ii, 23), but he did not declare himself as such "for fear of the Jews" (John, xix, 38). On account of this secret allegiance to Jesus, he did not consent to His condemnation by the Sanhedrin (Luke, xxiii, 51), and was most likely absent from the meeting which sentenced Jesus to death (cf. Mark, xiv, 64).

The Crucifixion of the Master quickened Joseph's faith and love, and suggested to him that he should provide for Christ's burial before the Sabbath began. Unmindful therefore of all personal danger, a danger which was indeed considerable under the circumstances, he boldly requested from Pilate the Body of Jesus, and was successful in his request (Mark, xv, 43-45). Once in possession of this sacred treasure, he -- together with Nicodemus, whom his courage had likewise emboldened, and who brought abundant spices -- wrapped up Christ's Body in fine linen and grave bands, laid it in his own tomb, new and yet unused, and hewn out of a rock in a neighbouring garden, and withdrew after rolling a great stone to the opening of the sepulchre (Matt., xxvii, 59, 60; Mark, xv, 46; Luke, xxiii, 53; John, xix, 38-42). Thus was fulfilled Isaiah's prediction that the grave of the Messias would be with a rich man (Is., liii, 9). The Greek Church celebrates the feast of Joseph of Arimathea on 31 July, and the Roman Church on 17 March. The additional details which are found concerning him in the apocryphal "Acta Pilati", are unworthy of credence. Likewise fabulous is the legend which tells of his coming to Gaul A.D. 63, and thence to Great Britain, where he is supposed to have founded the earliest Christian oratory at Glastonbury. Finally, the story of the translation of the body of Joseph of Arimathea from Jerusalem to Moyenmonstre (Diocese of Toul) originated late and is unreliable.

Originally called Abram, Abraham was the son of Terah, a descendant ofShem, and was born in the city of Ur of the Chaldees, where he marriedhis half sister Sarai, or Sarah. They left Ur with his nephew Lot andLot's family under a divine inspiration and went to Haran.

Then God promised Abrama son by his wife Sarai, repeated his earlier promises, and confirmedthese by a covenant.

When this covenant was later renewed, the rite of circumcision wasestablished, Abram's name became Abraham, and Sarai's became Sarah. Godsubsequently repeated his promise of a son by Sarah by means of visitingangels.

When God informed Abraham that he intended to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of the wickedness of their inhabitants, Abraham pleaded with himto spare the cities.

Goddemanded that Abraham sacrifice Isaac as a test of faith, but because ofAbraham's unquestioning compliance, God permitted him to spare Isaac andrewarded Abraham with a formal renewal of his promise. After Sarah died,Abraham married Keturah and had six sons by her. He died at the biblicalage of 175 and was buried beside Sarah in the Cave of Machpelah, in whatis now Hebron, West Bank.

Our righteous God became sorrowful for having created people who became so wicked. So, God decided to destroy all people, all land animals, and all birds. (Gen.6:5-7, 11).

Noah was trying to live righteously in this wicked world, so God was merciful to him and his family. (Gen. 6:8-9; 7:1). Noah was given instructions about how he was to build a big boat--450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. (Gen. 6:14-16). I am told that its dimensions were similar to today's oil tankers, making it practically impossible to overturn even in the worst storm at sea.

God told Noah, "Everything that is on the earth shall die" by a flood. (Gen. 6:17; 7:4). Noah was also told that the Ark would save his family (four married couples) and a male and female pair of every kind of"unclean" animal and 7 each (or 7 pairs) of every "clean" animal. (Gen.6:18-19). Noah was also instructed to store food in the Ark for hisfamily and for all the animals. (Gen. 6:21).

Noah did "all that God commanded him." (Gen. 6:22; 7:5).

Seven days before the rain started, God ordered Noah, who was 600 yearsold, to come into the Ark with his family and all the animals. (Gen.7:1-4, 6). God sealed them in the Ark. (Gen. 7:16). God caused water toboth rise up from below the earth and to fall from the sky for 40 days, until the water was 22 feet deep over the highest mountain. (Gen.7:11-12, 19-20). Everyone and everything that had lived on dry ground was drowned. Only those in the Ark survived. (Gen. 7:21-23).

After 150 days the water began to subside. The Ark came to rest on a high mountain of Ararat. Three months later the tops of the mountains could be seen. (Gen. 8:3-5). When the surface of the ground was dry enough, the Bible says that God told Noah to go out of the Ark, 365 days after he entered it. (Gen. 8:16).

Later, God made a promise that "never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." The rainbow is the sign of His covenant. (Gen.9:8-17).

Several accounts of his accomplishmentsoccur in the Old Testament, chiefly in the books of Samuel, Kings, andChronicles.

David was the youngest son of Jesse, a shepherd of Bethlehem, where hespent his youth tending his father's flocks. He became known for hismusical skill and for his courage, exemplified by his victoriousencounter with the Philistine giant Goliath. As his reputation grew, hewas summoned to the royal court, where he received an appointment asarmor-bearer to Saul, the first king of Israel. After achievingdistinction in the wars against the Philistines, he married Michal,Saul's daughter, and won the friendship of Jonathan, Saul's son. As aresult of his growing popularity, however, he incurred the jealousy ofthe king, who banished him from the court. David spent the next period ofhis life in exile, at the head of a band of warriors, levying tribute onthe landowners of Judah. After a period in the town of Adullam, nearJerusalem, and in the deserts of Judea, he entered the service of Achish,king of the Philistine city of Gath. As a reward for his help to Achish,he was made ruler of the town of Ziklag.

David returned to his native country after Saul, Jonathan, and two othersof Saul's four sons died in battle with the Philistines. Becoming king ofJudah at Hebron, he reigned for seven years, until about 993 BC, when hewas anointed king of Israel. David subsequently defeated in rapidsuccession the Philistines, Moabites, Aramaeans, Edomites, and Ammonites,firmly establishing Israel as an independent national state and greatlyextending its dominions. One of his principal conquests was that of theJebusite stronghold of Zion, which he made the nucleus of his capitalcity, Jerusalem, often called the City of David. There he constructed hispalace and installed, under a tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, makingJerusalem the religious and political center of the domains united in hisperson.

During the siege of Rabbath (now Amman, Jordan), the Ammonite capital,David committed adultery with Bathsheba, wife of the soldier Uriah, forwhose death he was indirectly responsible. This episode, generallyconsidered the major sin of his life, was followed by recurring troubleswith his children, one of whom, Absalom, was killed during a rebellionthat he had organized against his father. The final years of David'sreign were marked by additional family troubles, notably the dispute withhis eldest surviving son, Adonijah, that developed after David hadselected Solomon, his son by Bathsheba, as heir to the throne.

David was a valiant warrior and an outstanding leader. He displayedunfailing religious devotion and epitomized the courage and aspirationsof his people, the prophets of whom came inevitably to regard him as thetype of the promised Messiah. In both the Old Testament and NewTestament, the Messiah is referred to as the Son of David. In tradition,he is credited with writing 73 of the Psalms; most scholars, however,consider this claim questionable.

Holy City of the Jews

According to the Old Testament, David brought the sacred Ark of theCovenant to Jerusalem from Qiryat Ye'crim (a holy place of the time, westof Jerusalem) and installed it in a new tabernacle, built a royal palaceand other buildings, and strengthened the city's fortifications. AlthoughDavid greatly expanded the Kingdom of Israel and made Jerusalem itscapital, the city and the temple he built were quite modest. Solomon, hisson and successor, improved the temple and enlarged the city. He built acity wall and many buildings on a scale of magnificence previouslyunknown in Israel.

Solomon's Temple was destroyed and the Jews exiled by the Babylonians inthe year 586 BC. In 539 BC, Babylonia was conquered by the Persians (seePersia), who allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem the following year.The construction of a new temple, or Second Temple, was then undertakenon the ruins of the old. Jerusalem was captured by Alexander the Great in333 BC, and after his death it came under the rule first of Egyptians andlater of Syrians. The Syrian ruler Antiochus IV attempted to wipe out theJewish religion by destroying a large part of Jerusalem in 168 BC. Thiscaused a Jewish revolt under the leadership of Judas Maccabeus, a memberof a priestly ruling family, the Hasmonaeans (see Maccabees). Heliberated Jerusalem from the Syrians in 165 BC and later extendedHasmonaean rule over a large part of Judea. Jerusalem became thedestination of annual Jewish pilgrimage from the outlying area, sincecertain religious obligations could only be fulfilled in the temple. AllJewish sacred and secular law and power came to be concentrated in thecity.

He presided over an era of peace, prosperity, and cultural achievement known as the Augustan Age. Originally named Gaius Octavius (and known as Octavian), Augustus was born in Rome; he was the grandnephew and adoptive heir of Julius Caesar.
Caesar's assassination in 44 BC plunged Rome into turmoil. Octavian vied with Mark Antony, Caesar's ambitious colleague, for power and honor. In 43 BC Octavian, Antony, and Roman general Marcus Aemilius Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to rule the Roman domains. After defeating the armies of Caesar's assassins, the three divided the Roman world among them. Octavian gave Antony his sister, Octavia, in marriage.
The triumvirate did not hold together for long. Octavian forced Lepidus from power while Antony was in the east fighting the Parthians. Having sent Octavia back to Rome, Antony married Cleopatra, queen of Egypt. Octavian defeated the combined naval forces of Antony and Cleopatra in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC; Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide the following year. In 29 BC Octavian returned to Rome in triumph, at age 34 the sole master of the Roman world.
In 27 BC the Roman Senate gave Octavian the title Augustus and bestowed on him many other titles and powers that had been held by different officials in the Republic. The Senate vested him with paramount authority throughout the empire. Despite all this, Augustus carefully avoided the appearance of monarchy, claiming that he had restored the Roman Republic. Augustus was succeeded by his stepson and son-in-law, Tiberius.

Caesar, Gaius Julius (100-44 BC), Roman general and statesman, who laid the foundations of the Roman Empire.
Early Life
Born in Rome in 100 BC, Caesar belonged to the prestigious Julian clan; yet his uncle by marriage was Gaius Marius, leader of the popular party. This party was opposed by a reactionary senatorial faction. When Lucius Cornelius Sulla, leader of that faction, was made dictator in 82 BC, Caesar left Rome until Sulla resigned in 78 BC.
Triumvirate
Between 74 BC and 65 BC, Caesar held a series of public offices and formed alliances with powerful friends. Returning to Rome in 60 BC after a year as governor of Spain, he joined forces with Roman general Pompey the Great and the rich patrician Marcus Licinius Crassus in a three-way alliance known as the First Triumvirate. The triumvirate controlled the government in Rome.
Gallic Wars
Celtic Gaul was still independent in 58 BC. When Roman allies there appealed to Caesar for help against rivals, Caesar marched north into Gaul with six legions of soldiers. By 57 BC Rome controlled most of northern Gaul. While Caesar remained in Gaul, his agents attempted to dominate politics in Rome. After Crassus died in 53 BC while waging war against Parthia, tension increased between Caesar and Pompey.
Civil Wars
In 52 BC Pompey assumed full power in Rome. The Roman Senate called upon Caesar to resign his command and disband his army. Instead, early in 49 BC, Caesar marched his army into northern Italy and moved swiftly southward. Pompey fled to Greece. In three months Caesar was master of all Italy. His forces then took Spain and the key port of Massalía (now Marseille, France). In 48 BC Caesar landed in Greece and smashed Pompey's forces at Pharsalus. Pompey escaped to Egypt, but there he was assassinated. By the following year all forces opposing Caesar had been defeated.
Dictatorship and Assassination
The basic prop for Caesar's continuation in power was the dictatorship. According to the traditional constitution, this office was only to be held for six months during a dire emergency. That rule, however, had been broken before. Caesar now followed suit. In addition, he was made consul for ten years in 45 BC. Above all, he was in total command of the armies, and this remained the backbone of his power.
A number of senatorial families felt that Caesar threatened their position and feared for the future of the Roman republic. In 44 BC, an assassination plot was hatched by a group of senators, including Gaius Cassius and Marcus Junius Brutus. On March 15 of that year, when Caesar entered the Senate, the group killed him. Since Caesar had no male heirs, in his will he named his grandnephew, Octavius, as successor. It was Octavius who became Rome's first emperor under the name of Augustus.

In 51 BC, on the death of her father, King Ptolemy XII Auletes, Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy XIII succeeded jointly to the throne. In the third year of their reign Ptolemy drove Cleopatra into exile. Roman general Julius Caesar arrived in Alexandria, became Cleopatra's lover, and returned her to the throne, after which Cleopatra lived in Rome as Caesar's mistress. After Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, Cleopatra returned to Egypt. Roman general Mark Antony then fell in love with Cleopatra and moved to Egypt. Later Antony returned to Rome, where he married Octavia, a sister of Caesar's heir, Octavian, later Emperor Augustus. When Antony went to the East as commander of an expedition against the Parthians in 36 BC, he and Cleopatra reunited. Following Antony's victory over the Parthians, Antony and Cleopatra lived in Egypt until 32 BC, when Octavian declared war against them. Following the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, Cleopatra and Antony fled to Alexandria, where they both committed suicide.

Antonia "the Younger" Augusta Marcus Antonius Antony, Mark (83?-30 BC), Roman statesman and general, who defeated the assassins of Julius Caesar and helped form the Second Triumvirate, which ended the Roman Republic. Antony was born in Rome and served as a cavalry leader in Palestine, Egypt, and Gaul. At the outbreak of the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great, Antony served as Caesar's commander in chief in Italy. After the assassination of Caesar in 44 BC, Antony, Gaius Octavius (later the Roman emperor Augustus), and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate and divided the Roman Empire among themselves. Although Antony married Octavius's sister Octavia, he continued to carry on a love affair with Cleopatra, queen of Egypt. Octavius used this to excite indignation in Rome against Antony. When the Parthians defeated a military expedition led by Antony in 36 BC, civil war broke out. In 31 BC the naval forces of Octavius defeated the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. The following year, besieged by the troops of Octavius in Alexandria, Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide.

Alaric was a Visigothic chieftain principally interested in becoming recognized within the Roman Empire as a military "protector" over the imperial household.  He was rebuffed in his effort to do this through a normal rise up the ranks of the military--and thus Alaric took to conquering.  Recognition, not plunder, seemed consistently to remain his aim in life.

His main political adersary was Stillicho--who however sometimes worked in league with Alaric when it seemed profitable to do so.  The dramatic highpoint in Alaric's maneuverings was his entry at the head of his Visigothic army into Rome itself in 410.  Though his army was quite restrained in its treatment of Rome, this was  a major humiliation for this grand city.

In the end all of Alaric's maneuverings merely pointed out the glaring weaknesses of the Roman Empire, especially in the West.  This set up conditions for the final collapse of the Western Imperium.

Birth
Alaric was born around 370 to a noble Gothic (Western Gothic or Visigothic) family, who had just fled south to the mouth of the Danube River at the Black Sea to escape the invasion of Eastern Europe by the Asian Huns.

Early Military Service
As a young man Alaric served in the army of the Gothic foederati (tribesmen with recognized territorial rights and responsibilities in the Roman Empire)--becoming a general in 394 and serving under the Emperor Theodosius.  At this point he began to take note of the weakness of the Roman hold over northeastern Italy.

Proclaimed a Gothic King
When he was later bypassed by Theodosius's sons in their distribution of imperial offices, he made the decision to act on his own political behalf.  Gathering disgruntled foederati (for whom tribute payments from Rome had been slacking off) he had himself proclaimed Gothic king.

His March on Constantinople, Greece and Illyricum (395-396)
He moved his troops on Constantinople itself.  But unable to take this well defended city, he turned his troops towards Greece proper.  For almost two years (395-396) he plundered Greece--though he spared Athens. Then he found himself trapped in Greece by the general Stilicho--but managed to escape to the north along the eastern Adriatic Sea (Illyricum), where he was welcomed as a liberator, king of the lands that reach even up to the middle Danube River.  From there he conducted a devious diplomacy with the Eastern and Western branches of the Roman Empire--swearing fealty to one or another as he felt it opportune to do so.  In the meantime he began to equip his troops with the finest of Imperial weapons.

His First Invasion of Italy  (401-403)
In 401 Alaric broke his treaty with Rome and invaded Italy.  He spread terror through northern Italy--until he was again met and defeated by Stilicho at Pollentia in 402.  Then after another defeat from the hands of the Romans in 403, he abandoned Italy.

He Returns to Greece
Furthermore, though defeated, Alaric was not considered out of the political picture.  Indeed, in the mounting tensions between the Eastern and Western Imperial governments, he was called in for support by even Stilicho.  When however the Roman problem defused itself by the death of one of the imperial claimants, Alaric, who had moved his armies into Greece, demanded a huge tribute payment in compensation for his efforts. Stilicho and the Senate had agreed to the payment.  But then he and some of the Senators were assassinated by their political enemies in the Senate.  In the ensuing political chaos, some of the foederati of Italy were killed.  This in turn set off a massive flight of foederati refugees to Alaric's camp.

His Second Invasion of Italy
This prompted Alaric to mobilize his troops.  They invaded Italy again--and rolled right up to the walls of Rome.  Rather than attack, he settled in for a siege of starvation against the surrounded Romans. Finally he was bought off by a huge ransom payment.

Political Wheeling and Dealing
But Alaric still pressed for Roman recognition of  some kind of official position within the Empire:  rule over the lands between the Northern Adriatic and the Middle Danube and the command of the Imperial army. Failing satisfaction in this, he besieged Rome a second time (409)--and gained the position as unofficial overlord of a new Western Emperor, Attalus.  But Attalus proved to be an uncompliant vassal--and also brought Rome to defeat in Northern Africa where Rome depended heavily for its grain imports.  The Romans began to complain bitterly about this new regime of Alaric and Attalus.  The Eastern Emperor Honorius, once an ally of Alaric, now stepped into the situation.  Alaric dumped Attalus and negotiated with Honorius--but was out-trumped diplomatically with the intervention of a Gothic rival, Sarus.

Entry into Rome (410)
Thus in 410 Alaric resorted to his old trick of besieging Rome again. This time Alaric and his Visigoths broke through the Roman defenses.  But they proved themselves to be sparing in their plunder of the ancient capital.

Catastrophe and Death in an Effort to Invade Africa (410)
From there Alaric moved his troops to the south, with the intention of taking by force the grain lands of North Africa--thus bringing some contentment to his Roman subjects.  But storms destroyed his navy--and Alaric himself was struck by fever and died in the effort, bringing to an end the life of this amazing self-defined adventurer.

Despite his ultimate failure at establishing some kind of Gothic regime of his own, Alaric left an huge mark on his age.  Principally, he had exhausted the Roman resistance in the West, and opened the way for the German Vandals and Suebi to invade Gaul and Spain.  It was his marauding of Rome that also caused the withdrawal of the Roman legions from Britain--leaving that land vulnerable to the invading Picts to the North and the Saxons to the East. ~0497 - 23 NOV 561 Clotaire I "the Old" Son of Clovis I, King of the Franks, he inherited Soissons on his deathin 511. He, with his four brothers, attacked and defeated Burgundy underthe kings Sigisbert and Godomar early in his reign. With his oldestbrother Theuderic I, King of Metz, he attacked the Thuringian Franksunder King Hermanfrid, took the kingdom, and took his daughter Radegund.Next, with his brother Childebert I, King of Paris, Chlotar murdered hisnephews who were under the care of Queen Clotilda his mother. WhenTheuderic died, the kingdom was up for grabs. Chlotar and Childebert eachreceived only a small part, the most of it going to Theudebert, his son.In 555, Theudebald, who had succeeded his father Theudebert in Austrasia,died, and Austrasia passed to Chlotar. When Childebert died in 558, Parisfell to Chlotar as well, thus making him sole ruler of the Franks. WhenChlotar died in 561, the kingdom was divided among his 4 living sons:Charibert (Paris), Guntram (Burgundy), Chilperic (Soissons), and Sigebert(Metz).

Political Events, 741
Charles Martel dies October 22 at age 53 after dividing his realms between his elder son Carloman and younger son Pepin (or Pippin), although the country has had no true king since the death of Theodoric in 737. Lands to the east, including Austrasia, Alemannia, and Thuringia, have gone to Carloman along with suzerainty over Bavaria, while Pepin has received Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence.

Political Events, 747
Pepin's brother Carloman unexpectedly abdicates, becomes a monk, retires to a monastery near Rome, and leaves Pepin as sole master of the Frankish realm.

He was the best-known and most influential king in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Charlemagne was probably born in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle). He was the son of Frankish king Pepin the Short and the grandson of Charles Martel. When Pepin died in 768, the rule of his realms was to be shared between his two sons, Charlemagne and Carloman, who died in 771. Charlemagne then consolidated and expanded his power over the next 30 years, invading Italy, Saxony, Spain, Bavaria, and the empire of the Avars (corresponding roughly to modern Hungary and Austria). Having established Frankish rule over so many other peoples, Charlemagne had built an empire and become an emperor. On Christmas Day in 800, Charlemagne knelt to pray in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Pope Leo III then placed a crown upon his head, and the people assembled in the church acclaimed him emperor of the Romans.
Charlemagne established a more permanent royal capital than had any of his predecessors. His favorite residence from 794 on was at Aix-la-Chapelle. At his court he gathered scholars from all over Europe, the most famous being English cleric Alcuin of York. Administration of the empire was entrusted to approximately 250 royal administrators called counts. The empire did not expand after 800; in fact, by the 790s the seacoasts and river valleys experienced the first invasions of the Vikings. Charlemagne died before their full destructive force was unleashed on the empire.

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.

He was the son and sole successor of Charlemagne. In 817 Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his sons: Lothair I, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine. Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons rebelled (830, 833) against him and fought among themselves for supremacy as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the three surviving brothers (Verdun, Treaty of).

· Note:

Pepin III, son of Charles Martel, was crowned at Saint-Denis (France) byPope Stephen II, and the new Frankish dynasty was then proclaimed holyand its title indisputable. 754.

Pepin III, called le bref or the Short, succeeded his father, CharlesMartel, as ruler of the Merovengian Kingdom, which later became ImperialGermany, in 741. Pepin III ruled until 751 as Mayor of the Palace, thenas King of Carolingia from 751 to 768. He was succeeded Charles, whobecame known as Charlemagne.

Pepin, son of Charles Martel, had himself crowned at Soisson in 751, bythe archbishop of Mainz Wynfrith Boniface, and became Pepin III in a newceremony for the Franks, one which gives much prestige to the newsovereign. Pepin le Brief (the short) in 751 had asked the PopeZacharias whether it would be wiser for the family who had all the power(after the end of the Meerwing Kings with King Childeric III) and thePope agreed. Saint Boniface, the English missonary, annointed Pepin atSoissons in 752.

Charles Martel's legacy of the House of the Carlings was carried intopower by his son Pepin II who became the founder of the House ofCarolingia in 751, becoming King of all the Franks, and ruled the kingdomof Carolingia until 768. Succeeded by Charlemagne.

Pepin II the Short, along with his brother, Carloman, received the officeof Mayor of the Palace from his father Charles Martel in 741. Pepin IIserved the Meerwing King Childeric III until Childeric was put in amonastary. Pepin then became King of the Franks in 751.

The Frankish King Pepin III had taken lands that legally belonged to theByzatine/Eastern Roman Empire. Pepin II forced King Astolfo of theLombards to give up part of his lands. Pepin gave the lands to PopeStephen II, tacitly recognizing the claims of popes as heirs to theempire of Italy. Thus established the papal states which began temporalpower of the papacy.

Pepin III aka Pepin the Short died at age 54. He was succeeded asFrankish King by his son, Carl or Charles, 26 years old, who becameknown as Charles the Great (Charlemagne) King of the Franks and theCarlings.

Bishop of Metz ?-641

Arnulf was a powerful Austrasian noble during the time of Mayor Pepin I,and their two children Ansegisel and Begga were married. According toFrankish myth, Arnulf was the son of Bodigisel, a supposed son of SaintGendolphus, Bishop of Tongress, and Oda de Savoy.

This bishop was an actual historical figure, the son of Arthemia andMunderic of Vitry. According again to the myths, Munderic was the son ofCloderic the Paricide, son of the historic Sigisbert the Lame. ThisSigisbert was the son of King Childebert of Cologne, another historicalfigure that died sometime shortly after 450. He was the suposed son ofone Clovis the Riparian who died after 420.


THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA

St. Arnulf of Metz

Statesman, bishop under the Merovingians, born c. 580; died c. 640. His parents belonged to a distinguished Frankish family, and lived in Austrasia, the eastern section of the kingdom founded by Clovis. In the school in which he was placed during his boyhood he excelled through his talent and his good behaviour. According to the custom of the age, he was sent in due time to the court of Theodebert II, King of Austrasia (595-612), to be initiated in the various branches of the government. Under the guidance of Gundulf, the Mayor of the Palace, he soon became so proficient that he was placed on the regular list of royal officers, and among the first of the kings ministers. He distinguished himself both as a military commander and in the civil administration; at one time he had under his care six distinct provinces. In due course Arnulf was married to a Frankish woman of noble lineage, by whom he had two sons, Anseghisel and Clodulf. While Arnulf was enjoying worldly emoluments and honours he did not forget higher and spiritual things. His thoughts dwelled often on monasteries, and with his friend Romaricus, likewise an officer of the court, he planned to make a pilgrimage to the Abbey of Lérins, evidently for the purpose of devoting his life to God. But in the meantime the Episcopal See of Metz became vacant. Arnulf was universally designated as a worthy candidate for the office, and he was consecrated bishop of that see about 611. In his new position he set the example of a virtuous life to his subjects, and attended to matters of ecclesiastical government. In 625 he took part in a council held by the Frankish bishops at Reims. With all this Arnulf retained his station at the court of the king, and took a prominent part in the national life of his people. In 613, after the death of Theodebert, he, with Pepin of Landen and other nobles, called to Austrasia Clothaire II, King of Neustria. When, in 625, the realm of Austrasia was entrusted to the kings son Dagobert, Arnulf became not only the tutor, but also the chief minister, of the young king. At the time of the estrangement between the two kings, and 625, Arnulf with other bishops and nobles tried to effect a reconciliation. But Arnulf dreaded the responsibilities of the episcopal office and grew weary of court life. About the year 626 he obtained the appointment of a successor to the Episcopal See of Metz; he himself and his friend Romaricus withdrew to a solitary place in the mountains of the Vosges. There he lived in communion with God until his death. His remains, interred by Romaricus, were transferred about a year afterwards, by Bishop Goeric, to the basilica of the Holy Apostles in Metz.

Of the two sons of Arnulf, Clodulf became his third successor in the See of Metz. Anseghisel remained in the service of the State; from his union with Begga, a daughter of Pepin of Landen, was born Pepin of Heristal, the founder of the Carlovingian dynasty. In this manner Arnulf was the ancestor of the mighty rulers of that house. The life or Arnulf exhibits to a certain extent the episcopal office and career in the Merovingian State. The bishops were much considered at court; their advice was listened to; they took part in the dispensation of justice by the courts; they had a voice in the appointment of royal officers; they were often used as the king's ambassadors, and held high administrative positions. For the people under their care, they were the protectors of their rights, their spokesmen before the king and the link uniting royalty with its subjects. The opportunities for good were thus unlimited; and Arnulf used them to good advantage.

He also appears at the General Survey to be possessed of large estates in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, as well as Bedford.  These estates are documented in the Domesday book of abt. 1090.  He was the founder of this illustrious house in England. He had issue: Simon, who died sine prole; Payne, ancestor of the Beauchamps of Bedford; Walter, of whom further; Milo of Eaton, and Adeline, who married Walter Le Espes of York.

The name Beauchamp originated from the castle of Beauchamp in the Contentin part of the Barony of St. Denis le Geste, Normandy.  The family was a branch of the Barons of St. Denis.

150L'Art, XIII, 24.

On the death of William in 1087, and the accession of William Rufus to the throne of England, Roger de Montgomerie and his sons were for a short time enlisted in Bishop Odo's conspiracy to place Robert, the eldest son of William, on the throne. The following is the account given by Hume of this attempt.6 "Odo, Bishop of Baieux, and Robert, Earl of Moreton, maternal brothers of the conqueror, envying the great credit of Lanfrane, which was increased by his late services, enforced all these motives with their partisans, and engaged them in a formal conspiracy to dethrone the king. They communicated their design to Eustace, Count of Boulogne, Roger, Earl of Shrewsbury and Arundel, Robert de Belˆsme his eldest son, William, Bishop of Durham, Robert de Mowbray, Roger Bigod, Hugh de Grentmesnil; and they easily procured the assent of these potent noblemen. The conspirators, retiring to their castles, hastened to put themselves in a military posture; and expecting to be soon supported by a powerful army from Normandy, they had already begun hostilities in many places." The king by "engaging the affections of the native English," and with the aid of some of his own countrymen, gained the advantage over his opponents. "This success gave authority to his negotiations with Roger, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom he detached from the confederates." In a subsequent attempt, after Roger's death, of his sons in favor of Robert, we shall see how unsuccessful they were, and how by the unfortunate result, the family entirely lost all the possessions in England and Wales he had acquired and which he had left intact to his descendants.

Thus seemed to end Roger's connection with public affairs. He turned his attention to religious matters; and when well advanced in years, entered into holy orders, and was shorn a monk of the Abbey of St. Peter and St. Paul, his own foundation, where he spent the few remaining years of his life, and died on July 27, 1094, and was there buried. It is said that among his gifts to the Abbey, he enriched it with the coat of St. Hugh, of the monastery of Cluni, "which precious relick the Earl himself sometimes wore."1 At the Herald's Visitation to the Abbey in 1622, before referred to, the monument, a figure in mail, which was supposed to represent the Earl of Shrewsbury, was dug out of the ruins and erected at the east end of the south aisle, with the following inscription over it: "The figure underneath, which was at first placed within the Monastery of St. Peter and St. Paul, and was afterwards found in the ruins, was removed hither by directions of His Majesty's Heralds at Arms, in their visitation of this county, 1622, to remain (as it was originally intended) in perpetual memory of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, who was kinsman to the Conqueror, and one of his chief commanders in the victorious battle of Hastings. He erected many useful buildings here, both publick and private; and not only fortified this town with walls, but built the Castle on the Isthmus. As also the castles of Ludlow and Bridgenorth, with the monastery of Wenlock. He founded and endowed in an ample manner this large Benedictine Abbey; and when advanced in years, by the consent of his Countess Adelaisa, he entered into holy orders, and was shorn a monk of this his own foundation, where he lies interred. He died July 27, 1094."2

They ruled over all but the northernmost quarter of the Iberian peninsula in the eleventh century. By the time of Alfonso, central power had been broken, and there were a number of petty Arab kingdoms that had been set up. The Abbadids of Seville became the most successful of these kingdoms, absorbing much of the others. But they summoned the Almoravids (Berbers) from Africa to help in the struggle with Alfonso VI, defeating him at Zallaka/Zalaca in 1086. These Berber mercenaries soon became a threat to the rulers of Seville.
. Also remember that Alfonso VI was a king without a male heir. Even though he had the mistress Ximena/Jimena Munoz, she had only born him only daughters, Elvirs and Teresa. He also had a legitimate daughter, Urraca. So it was partly because of the very real threat of invasion by Arab Spain that Alfonso accepted Zaida as a mistress in 1092. She was the widow of Fath al-Mamun of Cordoba (who died in March of the previous year), daughter-in-law of al-Mutamid of Sevilla. . Importantly, Zaida became the mother of Alfonso's only son, Sancho,
who would eventually be named his heir, in spite of his being illegitimate. Bishop Pelayo's chronicle (already quoted in the last post),
states that she was baptized and given the Christian name Elizabeth (which was then equivalent to Isabel).
. Zaida's monumental inscription states that she died on 13 [or 12, depending on the source] September in childbirth, but the year of her
death does not survive. Thus the controversy. Levi-Provencal had concluded that she died during the birth of her son Sancho, on 12
September 1093. . But if you equate Zaida with Queen Elizabeth, who did not die until 1107, you arrive at a death date of 12/13 September 1107 (hence the varying dating given by different authorities). It is known that Queen Elizabeth was the mother of two daughters, and that Zaida was mother of Alfonso's only son. So if you equate the two women, it means she was mother of three children. But as she may not have died in 1093, the birth date of Zaida's son Sancho is problematic too. . There isn't enough surviving evidence to resolve these disputes.
Different scholars interpret the evidence in different ways. BUT there is NO dispute that Teresa was Ximena's daughter, not a daughter of Zaida or Elizabeth. . By taking Zaida into his court, Alfonso VI could claim to be a protector of Spanish Islam against the incursions of the African Murabits/ Almoravids, giving him an excuse for further conquest of Arab lands in Spain. . .
. Also, as the kingdom of al-Mutamid fell with his capital in September 1091, it would place the political act of sending Zaida to Alfonso's court between the death of her husband 26 March 1091 and September of the same year. It would seem almost unthinkable that the emir would give his own daughter to a Christian king, but a daughter-in-law, ..., hmmmm, she might be expendable, yet still important enough to be a valid symbol. And if Zaida then bore the king a male heir in 1092 or 1093....
. Alfonso VI did not have a legitimate grandson until the birth of Alfonso Raimundez, son of the Infanta Urraca and Count Raymond. This
would mean legitimate contention for the succession to his throne. Alfonso was then a fairly old man (for those times) of about sixty-eight.
He therefore (within a year of his grandson's birth) took action to proclaim his illegitimate son Sancho his heir.  . A document dated 27 March 1106 reads in part "regnante rege illdefonso in legione eiusdem helisabet regina sub maritali copula legaliter aderente" [Reilly, pp. 338-9]. This is evidence that Alfonso married Sancho's mother. Reilly interprets this to explain a proper marriage for a formal mistress, and we know from Bishop Pelayo that Zaida had been baptized with the name Elizabeth. Alfonso's queen in named as Elizabeth in at least seventeen documents between 1102 and 1106. . .
. There is a funerary inscription to Queen Elizabeth in the royal pantheon of San Isidoro of Leon which states that she was daughter of
Louis VI of France [Hic requiescit Helisabeth Regina filia Lodovici Regis Franciae] and that she died in 1107, but this alleged French origin is not mentioned by the chroniclers Bishop Pelayo and the anonymous author of Sahagun, both fairly contemporary. And there is no evidence that Louis the Fat had a daughter named Elizabeth [Louis was born in 1081]. As Elizabeth is known to have born Alfonso two daughters before her death, this seems to preclude this allegation.
. Alfonso had definitely married Elizabeth by 14 May 1100, when a charter stated, in part, "una cum voluntate et assensu conjugis meae
Elisabeth iperatricis..." [Reilly, p. 298]. Queen Elizabeth, Count Raymond and the Infanta Urraca, and County Henry and the Infanta Teresa were present at a charter dated 25 January 1103 [Reilly, pp. 313-14]. Sancho Alfonsez also confirmed the document as "Sanctius infans quod pater fecit confirmo."
. The first documentary evidence of Queen Elizabeth's two daughters, the infantas Sancha and Elvira, was a royal charter granted to the Bishop of Oviedo on 16 March 1104. Alfonso's son Sancho, Counts Raymond [of Burgundy (RIN 2391)] and Henry [of Portugal (RIN 2400)], and the infantas Urraca and Teresa also confirmed the document [Reilly, p. 318]. Elizabeth confirmed a charter dated 19 March 1106, with Sancho and all of Alfonso's other children and sons-in-law (Count Raymond and Count Henry spent a great deal of time at the Spanish court) [Reilly, p. 339]. Queen Elizabeth and Sancho confirmed another charter dated 8 May 1107, and in a charter dated eight days later, Sancho was called "regnum electus patri factum" [Reilly, p. 340]. Elizabeth [Zaida] died 12/13 September 1107. It was on that same date that we know Count Raymond was sick with what would prove a mortal illness (he died on 20 September 1107) [Reilly, p. 341]. . .
. Levi-Provencal assumed Zaida died in childbirth on 1093, but there is no true factual basis for this conclusion. We know that Zaida was named Elizabeth when she was baptized as a Christian. Alfonso's third wife, Bertha, did not die until 19 May 1097/8. So Alfonso would not have been free to marry Zaida/Elizabeth until after that date. We know a woman named Elizabeth was his consort and Queen by 14 May 1100. And we know that this Queen Elizabeth was mother of two daughters, Sancha and Elvira. Combined evidence suggests that Queen Elizabeth died 12 or 13 September 1107. The very old Alfonso VI married his last wife, Beatrice, by 28 May 1108.
. It is logical to conclude that Alfonso, after having decided that he wanted his ONLY son Sancho to succeed him--instead of the legitimate
son of his legitimate daughter the Infanta Urraca--would do everything to try and legitimize him. Marrying his mother, Zaida/Elizabeth, would be a logical step.
. So it seems logical to me to conclude that Zaida was Queen Elizabeth, but this is still in dispute, and barring the discovery of some ancient document, it is likely to remain in dispute for the reasons spelled out in the above discussion. David Kelley stated that Szabolcs de Vajay assured him that "the concubine Zaida followed a not uncommon pattern in moving from a secondary status to a primary status, i. e., she became the queen" [TAG 69:113]."

Robert II (of France), called Robert the Pious (970?-1031), king of France (996-1031), the son of King Hugh Capet, born in Orléans, and educated at Reims under the French scholar Gerbert, who later became Pope Sylvester II. In 996 Robert married, as his second wife, his cousin Bertha of Burgundy. Two years later Pope Gregory V excommunicated him and annulled this marriage, which was considered incestuous by the church; in 1003 Robert submitted to the pope and married the daughter of the marquis of Provence, Constance of Arles, by whom he had four sons. He recognized Hugh, the eldest of these sons, as his successor. After Hugh's death in 1025, the other sons, aided by their mother, revolted; Robert was still fighting them at the time of his own death. Robert was called The Pious because of his humility and charity; he was also esteemed as a soldier and ruler.

Henry I (of France) (circa 1008-60), king of France (1031-60), son of King Robert II and grandson of Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty. From the beginning of his reign he was occupied with putting down rebellions led by members of his family and other French nobles. Between 1035 and 1047 he assisted his nephew William, duke of Normandy, later William the Conqueror, king of England, in establishing William's authority over rebellious Norman nobles. Henry later grew jealous of William's power and waged unsuccessful war against him in 1054 and 1058. Henry was succeeded by his son Philip I.

His lordship over many fiefs around Paris and Orléans made him the virtual ruler of France, and when King Louis V of France, the last of the Carolingian line, died without an heir in 987, Hugh's numerous vassals enabled him to win the election to the throne, defeating the Carolingian candidate, Charles, duke of Lorraine. Charles and many other great nobles of the realm attempted to resist his authority but, through force of arms and by judicious purchasing of allegiance, as well as through the support of the church, of which he was a devout member, Hugh established a measure of order within his kingdom. He had his son, Robert the Pious (later Robert II), elected and crowned his associate and successor in 988, thereby confirming the house of Capet, which ruled France until 1328. See also Capet.

Capet, family name of the dynasty of kings that ruled France from 987 to 1328. 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 Île 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.

After a protracted struggle he defeated the Danes, and in 912, on the death of his brother-in-law Ethelred, alderman of Mercia, he annexed the cities of London and Oxford and their environs. The Danes submitted formally in 918, and soon thereafter the sovereignty of Edward was acknowledged by the North Welsh, the Scots, the Northumbrians, and the Welsh of Strathclyde. Edward was succeeded by his son Athelstan.

Born in Wantage in southern England, Alfred was the youngest of five sons of King Ethelwulf. On the death of his brother Ethelred, Alfred became king. By early 878 the Danes had conquered much of his territory, but he then defeated them. By 886 he had captured the city of London, and soon afterward he was recognized as the king of all England. When the Danes invaded England again in 893, Alfred made his kingdom the rallying point for all Saxons, thus laying the foundation for the unification of England. Alfred was a patron of learning. He began a court school and invited British and foreign scholars, notably Welsh monk Asser and Irish-born philosopher and theologian John Scotus Erigena, to come there. Alfred's laws, the first promulgated in more than a century, were the first that made no distinction between the English and the Welsh peoples.

He was the son of a Kentish noble but claimed descent from Cerdic (reigned 519-34), founder of Wessex, the kingdom of the West Saxons in southern England. During the late 8th century, when King Offa of Mercia (reigned 757-96) ruled most of England, Egbert lived in exile at the court of Charlemagne. Egbert regained his kingdom in 802. He conquered the neighboring kingdoms of Kent, Cornwall, and Mercia, and by 830 he was also acknowledged as sovereign of East Anglia, Sussex, Surrey, and Northumbria and was given the title of Bretwalda (Anglo-Saxon, "ruler of the British"). During succeeding years Egbert led expeditions against the Welsh and the Vikings. The year before his death he defeated a combined force of Danes and Welsh at Hingston Down in Cornwall. He was succeeded by his son Ethelwulf, the father of Alfred.

Charles claimed the throne after 893, during the reign of Odo, or Eudes, count of Paris, but was not acknowledged king until 898. His reign was plagued by raids of Scandinavian Vikings, to whom he finally ceded (911) much of what later was called Normandy. Charles was deposed in 922 by his chief vassals and imprisoned in Péronne from 923 until his death.

Charles II (Holy Roman Empire), called The Bald (823-877), Holy Roman emperor (875-877), and, as Charles I, king of France, born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. He was the fourth son of Holy Roman Emperor Louis I; his mother, Louis's second wife, was Judith of Bavaria. Judith's determination to secure a kingdom for her only son led to civil war with Louis's other two surviving sons, Holy Roman Emperor Lothair I and King Louis II of Germany. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Verdun in 843. Charles received the western portion of the empire, which from this time may be called the kingdom of France, or the West Frankish Kingdom. Charles was a weak ruler; the great nobles were rapidly becoming independent, and the Vikings pillaged the country without meeting much resistance from Charles, who preferred to buy them off. Nevertheless, when Holy Roman Emperor Louis II died in 875, Charles received the imperial crown through the favor of Pope John VIII. Charles was succeeded as king of France by his son, Louis II, but the imperial throne was vacant until 881.

An active participant in the civil wars that marked the last ten years of his father's reign, he became ruler of all Germany east of the Rhine by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. Even after that, however, he continued to fight his kinsmen, winning the eastern part of Lorraine in 870. An able ruler, Louis strengthened government in his lands and encouraged the development of vernacular literature.

Louis was coemperor with his father from 850 to 855, when he became sole emperor, but his authority was in fact confined to his Italian kingdom. Although he was successful in some campaigns against the Saracen invaders of Italy, he was constricted by the jealousies of local Italian princes. He acquired much of Provence on the death of his brother Charles, but he was a weak ruler, and his empire declined.

Constantine was dominated by his father-in-law and co-emperor, Romanus I, and he continued Romanus's policies- protection of the small landholders of Anatolia and aggression against the Muslim states of Mesopotamia and Syria- even after Romanus was banished from Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 944. He also maintained contact with the Russians and encouraged their conversion to Christianity. Constantine is mainly remembered as a scholar and patron of scholarship. His own works include De Thematibus (On the Provinces), a history of the various territories of the Byzantine Empire; De Administrando Imperio (On Imperial Administration), a treatise on foreign policy containing valuable information on the peoples of eastern Europe in the 10th century; and De Ceremoniis Aulae Byzantinae (Byzantine Court Ceremonies).

He won the favor of Emperor Michael III, who made him his chamberlain. In 866 Basil became coruler of the Byzantine Empire with Michael and a year later had Michael assassinated. As sole ruler of the empire, Basil began the reform of the legal code completed by his son Leo VI, introduced other administrative reforms, and restored the scholar Photius to the patriarchate.

* Note:
Henry I (of Germany), called Henry The Fowler (876?-936), king of Germany (919-36), the first of the Saxon line of German kings. In 912 Henry succeeded his father as duke of Saxony. Following the death of Conrad I, king of Germany, in 918, Henry was chosen king by the Franconian and Saxon nobles. Bavaria, Swabia, and Lotharingia refused to acknowledge him at first, and it was not until 925 that he managed to win recognition from all the German states. In 926 Henry secured a nine-year truce from warfare with the Magyars. During that period he transformed many of the small towns of Germany into fortified cities with trained troops of mounted warriors. His military preparations were successfully tested in a war against the Wends in 929. When the Magyars invaded Thuringia in 933, Henry repulsed them decisively. He defeated the Danes in the following year and seized territory from them. Henry was the first to create a united Germany, and, although he never received the imperial crown, he is generally recognized as one of the Holy Roman emperors. He was succeeded by his son, Otto.

* Note:
Otto I (Holy Roman Empire), called Otto the Great (912-73), Holy Roman emperor (962-73), king of Germany (936-73), the son of the German king Henry I. After subduing an uprising of nobles incited by his brother, Otto consolidated his kingdom by granting duchies to faithful relatives and followers. In 951 he marched to Italy to assist Adelaide, the widowed queen of Lombardy, against Berengar II, who had usurped the kingdom. Otto defeated Berengar and married Adelaide, thereby becoming ruler of northern Italy. When he returned to Germany, he again crushed a rebellion of nobles led by his son Liudolf and halted a Hungarian invasion in 955. In 962 he was crowned Holy Roman emperor. In 963 he deposed Pope John XII and had Leo VIII elected in his stead. Otto sought to make the church subordinate to the authority of the empire but assisted in spreading Christianity throughout his domain. He negotiated unsuccessfully with the Byzantine emperor Nicephorus II Phocas for an alliance between the Byzantine and Holy Roman empires, but was able to arrange a marriage between his son Otto II and Theophano, daughter of the Byzantine emperor Romanus II.

He was an illegitimate son of the East Frankish ruler Carloman, who was a great-grandson of Charlemagne. In 887 Arnulf led the revolt that forced Charles III (The Fat), king of France and Holy Roman emperor, to abdicate and was elected king of the East Franks, that is, of Germany. In 891 he repulsed the Vikings, who were invading his kingdom. He campaigned in Italy in 894 and again in 895-96. In early 896, he captured Rome and was crowned Holy Roman emperor, the last Carolingian to be so invested.

The monkish chroniclers of the times give to Mabel a not very enviable character; in their estimation, "she was a wicked, unnatural, and cruel woman;2 "haughty, worldly-minded, crafty, and a babbler."3 But Ordericus does not pass her without some commendation, for he adds, "she always loved Theodoric, the man of God, and failed not to obey him in certain things."4 Her cruelties at last brought upon her a violent death. Among those whom either her ambition or her hatred had led her to despoil of their rights, was Hugh, Seigneur de la Roche Ig‚, whom she had deprived of his castle. On the night of December 2, 1082, Hugh entered her chamber at the Chƒteau de Bures, on the Dive, near Troarn, and killed her with his sword. Her mutilated body was buried three days after at the convent of Troarn; while her murderer and his brothers disappeared from Normandy, and were unsuccessfully pursued by her sons, who thus vainly endeavored to take vengeance for their mother's death on the assassin.5

of Sussex, ii. 7.

Her enmity to the Monks of St. Evroult in particular, had earned for her the harsh character she is displayed in on the pages of the history
written within the walls of that monastery.  The following is her epitaph, written by her friends of Troarn, taken from Forester's translation
of Ordericus Vitalis:
                    "Sprung from the noble and the brave,
                      Here Mabel finds a narrow grave;
                    But above all woman's glory,
                      Fills a page in famous story.
                    Commanding, eloquent, and wise,
                      And prompt to daring enterprise;
                    Though slight her form, her soul was great,
                      And, proudly swelling in her state,
                    Rich dress, and pomp, and retinue,
                      Lent it their grace and honours due.
                    The border's guard, the country's shield,
                      But love and fear her might revealed,
                    Till Hugh, revengeful, gained her bower,
                      In dark December's midnight hour.
                    Then saw the Dive's o'erflowing stream
                      The ruthless murderer's poignard gleam.
                    Now, friends, some moments kindly spare,
                      For her soul's rest to breathe a prayer."
 ~1058 - 1123 Roger 'Le Poitevin' de Montgomery 65 65 ROGER DE MONTGOMERIE, called le Poitevin, Earl of Lancaster, and Count of Marche,5 was involved in the misfortunes of his family, which taking part with Robert, Duke of Normandy, in his vain efforts to supplant Henry I. on the throne of England, lost all its possessions both in England and Wales, as well as many of those in Normandy. In 1094, he gave the priory of St. Martin's, in Lancaster, to the abbey of St. Martin de S‚es in France. He married Almodis, daughter and heiress of Adelbert, Count of Marche, whose son dying in 1091, Roger and his wife succeeded to his estates and honors. Upon the expulsion of his family from England in 1102, he withdrew to the country of his wife, and fixed his residence at the castle of Charroux, which gave him the surname of le Poitevin. He had a long war to sustain against Hugh de Lusignan, his wife's cousin, who claimed the County of Marche, with arms in his hands. He left this quarrel as a heritage to his descendants. ~1042 - 1107 Mathilde Maud de Montgomery 65 65 ~1066 Sybil de Montgomery ~1067 - 1125 Arnulph de Montgomery 58 58 ARNOLD DE MONTGOMERY who in the reign of William II with a party of knights invaded Pembrokeshire and conquered it; seems to have been created Earl of Pembroke; in the reign of Henry I erected a slender fortress at Penbrock, "the head of the estuary or brook adjoining the territory of Ros, and which is separated from it by an arm of the sea," and which, upon returning to England, he consigned to the care of Geraldus de Windsor, his Constable and Lieutenant-General, a worthy and discreet man and the ancestor of the Geraldines of Ireland; granted much land in Pembrokeshire to the mother church at St. Martin's at Seez; gave to St. Martin's the church of St. Nicholas, within the walls of the castle at Pembroke, in 1098, which was afterwards erected into a priory by William Mareschal; married Lapracoth, daughter of Murrough, King of Leinster (ped. 161), and appears to have played an important part in the wars between the Norwegians and the Irish; for a long time resided with Robert de Belesme but, having lost the whole of his estates through joining in his rebellion, he appears to have quarreled with him and to have gone over to the party of the Duke of Normandy, to whom he ceded the Castle of Almeneches, which he had taken by surprise, and collected about him many of his brother's partisans; the following year, notwithstanding his supposed forfeiture, he seems to have still been in possession of his Welsh estates, for it is asserted that the Irish, terrified at the power of the Norwegian King, called in the aid of the Normans and that Arnold and the men of Pembroke hastened to bring them succor; at this time, apparently, Governor of Pembroke Castle in Milford Haven. The Irish entrapped the Norwegian King Magnus and killed him through treachery and even attempted to massacre the Normans, resolving to kill Arnold as the reward of his allegiance, and the King actually carried off Arnold's wife, his own daughter, and married her to one of his own relations. Arnold discovered in time the treachery of the Irish and made his escape from the country and Ordericus relates that for twenty years afterwards he wandered abroad a homeless man. We hear again of Arnold in Normandy in 1118, when Stephen, Earl of Moreton, who held the Castle of Alencon for King Henry, so offended the inhabitants that they implored the aid of Fulk, Earl of Anjou. Arnold was their envoy on this occasion. Ordericus relates that, true to his early love, he rashly returned to ireland some twenty years after he was so badly treated there and became reconciled with the King, according to appearances, and married the princess of his love, from which it would seem that on the former occasion she had only been betrothed to him. "On the morrow of his nuptials he fell asleep after a banquet and, shortly expiring, left the guests to listen to funeral dirges instead of an epithalamium."

(*)Yeatman's History of the House of Arundel, pp. 8, 56. ~0913 - 1078 William "Talvas" 165 165 WILLIAM II, surnamed Talvas, who in 1033 or 1034 succeeded his brother Robert as Count of Belesme and Alen‡on; died 1048; married, first, Hildeburge, daughter of a chevalier named Arnold; second, HADEBURGE, daughter of Raoul, Vicomte de Beaumont, and widow of Tescelin, Seigneur de Monrevau

WILLIAM II., of Belˆsme, surnamed de Talvas, a name derived from a species of buckler he wore, or as some writers assert, a nickname denoting his great cruelty. He married Hildeburga, daughter of a chevalier pamed Arnulph, who is spoken of as a very noble man. By her he had a son Arnulph, and a daughter Mabel, married to the Count of Montgomerie. He was a man of savage and violent temper. On his wife's protesting against his enormities and condemning them openly, he caused her to be strangled. His treatment of William Giroie brought on him the fierce vengeance of Giroie's brothers, who ravaged his territories. Finally, his subjects and even his only son joined themselves to his enemies, and expelled him from his lands about the year 1048. Houseless and homeless he a long time wandered from house to house without obtaining succor or shelter. But, finally he found himself in the neighborhood of the Count of Montgomerie, who gave him a home. To Roger he gave his daughter in marriage, and made him a cession of all the wealth which by his perversity and baseness had been lost to him; and with him he spent the remainder of his days.2 To his daughter he left a heritage of cruelty, ambition, and pride. ~1056 Philip de Montgomery PHILIP DE MONTGOMERIE, known as the Clerk, or the Grammarian, a title given by cotemporary historians, from the fact of his having received an education beyond the ordinary standard, with a view, probably, of taking upon himself holy orders. In 1096 he accompanied Duke Robert in his crusade to the Holy Land, and died at the siege of Antioch, which continued from December, 1097, to the month of June following. ~1064 Mabel de Montgomery ~1060 - 4 MAR 1112/13 Emma de Montgomery ~1044 Hughes de Montgomery HUGH DE MONTGOMERIE, Earl of Shrewsbury and Arundel, succeeded his father in his English possessions. The Welsh gave him the name of Hugh Goch, i. e.  Red headed.1 This might be presumed to be a term of reproach, applied as it was by a people who had but little love for the new race which had taken possession of England, and less even for the family, which from its estates on the borders, was foremost in their oppression. While Roger pushed the dominion of his master successfully over the refractory Welsh, his memory is not      charged with the same severity and cruelty as adhere to some of his sons in their dealings with them. Hugh survived his father but four years; dying in 1098,2 unmarried, his possessions and honors came to his brother Robert.
         He met his death at the hands of the Norwegians, who at the time were apparently redressing the wrongs the Welsh were suffering under. "Owen, a Welsh lord, father-in-law of Griffith and Cadagan, kings of Wales, having been disobliged by his sons-in-law, privately invited the Earls of Chester and Shrewsbury into his country, promising them a great booty. The two earls levying some troops, were received by Owen into Wales, where they committed unspeakable cruelties. The two kings, surprised by this unexpected attack, were        forced to fly into Ireland, and leave the country to the mercy of the English.  Their flight giving their enemies an opportunity to continue their march, they penetrated as far as the Isle of Anglesey, where they destroyed all with fire and sword."3 "Magnus, the son of Harold, King of Norway, having taken possession of the Orkneys and of the Isle of Man, arrived accidentally upon the coast of Anglesey. Hearing of the cruelties committed by the English, and touched with a sense of generous pity, he determined to land his forces, and to preserve the miserable inhabitants from destruction. The English endeavored to oppose the Norwegians. In the attempt, the Earl of Shrewsbury was slain. The prince of Norway, observing that nobleman resolute in opposing his landing, and whose impetuous valor had carried him into the sea, levelled an arrow, which through the opening of his armor pierced his right eye, and reaching the brain, he fell down convulsed in the water. The Norwegian prince, on seeing him fall, cried 'Let him dance,' or rather, 'Let him depart.' This accidental stroke of justice seen by the eye of superstition, made the Welsh to conclude, that the arrow had been directed by the immediate hand of the Almighty."4
       In Llandyfrydog being mentioned as the place of Hugh's death, superstition goes further, when it states that one night his dogs being put into the church ran mad, "and the Earl himself died miserably in less than a month after."   Another account states that the Earl of Shrewsbury arrived with his vassals first at Diganwy, the place of rendezvous, and waited several days for his auxiliaries.   On a threatened landing of the northmen one day, Earl Hugh mounting his horse, put himself at the head of his men, and rushed into the water to meet the enemy. He was immediately killed by an arrow from the hands of Magnus.
               "His bow string twangs,--its biting hail
                Rattles against the ring-linked mail.
                Upon the land in deadly strife,
                Our Norse king took Earl Hugo's life."6
His body was not recovered until the ebbing of the tide, and was brought from Anglesey, and buried alongside of his father at the great Abbey of Shrewsbury.1  He built the castle at Cleobury, of which there are now scarcely any remains.2  And he added considerably to the endowments of his father's abbey at Shrewsbury, "with a heavy curse on the violator."3 "He was the only one of Mabel's sons who was courteous and amiable; and he conducted himself with great moderation during the four years he held the family honors and domains.

6 Saga of King Magnus, quoted in Wiffen's Mem. of House of Russell. ~0960 - ~1048 Seigneur de Belleme William 88 88 WILLIAM I who in 997 succeeded to the Seigneurie of Belesme, which was joined to the County of Perche; received the Castle of Alen‡on and its dependencies and became Count of Alen‡on; died 1028; married MATHILDA, of the race of Ganelon

WILLIAM I. succeeded his father in the seigneury of Belˆsme, to which he added the county of Perche; and Duke Richard II. gave him the castle of Alen‡on and its dependencies. And it is thought that the county of Domfront was also given to him, since he built the castle of that name, and founded about the year 1025, in the neighboring forest, the abbey of Lonlai. Notwithstanding this act of piety, William was none the less unprincipled in his character. Envious and sanguinary, this disposition had made him commit great disorders. ~0962 Mathilde ~0955 Arnulf ~0996 - ~1026 Seigneur de Domfront Warin 30 30 ~0942 - >1005 Yves de Belleme 63 63 ~0942 - >1005 Godchilde De Ponthieu 63 63 ~0960 Juhel I de Mayenne ~0972 Hilderouge Godehaut de Belesme ~0982 Godchilde de Belleme ~0912 - 0997 Yves de Creil 85 85 1 better known under the name of Belˆsme, was son of Fulcoin and Rothais, and is described as a man wise and prudent. He was in possession, toward the end of the year 940, of the town of Belˆsme, but not of the county of Perche, which he appears never to have been in possession of, at least not of the whole of it. He can be better called owner of the Canton of Sonnois. He was brother of Sigenfroi, Bishop of Mans.

It was by the counsel of Yves, that Osmond, in the year 942, saved from the hands of King Louis d'Outremer, young Richard, Duke of Normandy, whom this prince had retained a prisoner at Laon. Many modern writers place his death in A.D. 980, but it is certain that he was yet living in the reign of King Robert. He died towards the end of the year 997. Some years before his death, and in 994 or later, he had lost a portion of the Sonnois, which Hugh I., Count of Maine, had despoiled him of. ~0912 Geile ~0985 - <1056 Roger I de Montgomery 71 71 ROGER DE MONTGOMERY, founder of Troarn 1022, who was exiled in 1037 ~0989 Josceline De Ponteaudemer ~0955 Senfrie de Crépon ~0911 - 1002 Herbastus de Crépon 91 91 ~1023 - 1057 Ralph "The Timid " de Gael 34 34 ~0936 - 1031 Gunnora De Crepon 95 95 ~0952 Eva Duceline de Crépon ~1004 Avelina Wevia de Crépon 28 AUG 933 - 20 NOV 996 Richard I 'The Fearless' ~0950 Hugues de Montgomery ~0968 Josceline Harcourt de Pontaudemer ~0949 Tourade Harcourt de Pontaudemer ~0980 - 1044 Humphrey Harcourt de Vieilles 64 64 ~0982 Herbrand Harcourt ~0982 Gilbert Harcourt ~0984 Richard Harcourt ~0988 Turchetil de Pontaudemer ~0990 Ilbert Harcourt ~0920 - ~0955 Torf "The Rich" Harcourt 35 35 1080 Lord Walter De Scudamore ~0951 - >1024 Turchetil de Harcourt 73 73 Turchetil, the 2nd son, Seigneur de Turqueville and Turquerange, in France, was governor to William, 2nd Duke of Normandy ~0953 William Harcourt de Pontaudemer 1052 Titus De Scudamore 0912 - 0955 Bernard "the Dane" de Harcourt 43 43 Bernard, Lord of Harcourt, Carleville and Beaufidel in Normandy, was a nobleman of royal blood of Saxony, who acquired in 876, when Rollo the Dane made himself master of Normandy, the above lordships in that principality.

In 976 he suppressed a rebellion that was led by his cousin Henry II, duke of Bavaria. Two years later, having been attacked by Lothair, king of France, Otto drove the French out of Lorraine but was unsuccessful in besieging Paris. Later Lothair renounced Lorraine, and peace was established. Otto next invaded southern Italy, gaining possession of Naples, Salerno, and Taranto, but he was overwhelmingly defeated by the Greeks and Saracens at Crotona in 982.

The Harvey family in England traces its ancestry to the time of the Conquest. The progenitor is believed to be Herveus de Bourges or Hervey of Bourges, who came with William the Conqueror and according to the Domesday Book was in 1086 a great baron in county Suffolk. He was a grandson of Geoffry, third viscount of Bourges, an ancient city of France, who rebuilt the abbey of St. Ambrose or Bourges in 1012. Harvey, the surname, is undoubtedly derived from the more ancient baptismal name, variously spelled Herveus, Hervey, Harvey, etc. Surnames came into general use in England about the year 1200. 1828 - 1898 Elizabeth Milne 69 69 1872 Mary Thompson 1853 William I Thompson 1855 Thomas Thompson 1857 Richard Thompson 1859 Alexander I Thompson 1862 Flora Harvey Thompson 1864 William II Thompson 1864 Alexander II Thompson 1868 Frank Thompson 1869 Harry Thompson 1871 Edward Thompson 1918 Manfred Thompson 1917 Laura (Kunert) Nortman Living Thompson Living Thompson Living Thompson 1920 Harlon Thompson 1922 Evelyn Smikrud Living Thompson Living Shroeder Living Thompson Living Thompson Living Dow 1926 Ruth Arlene Thompson 1921 Laurence Isensee Living Isensee Living Isensee Living Isensee Living Peterson Living Isensee Living Huber 1928 Ardyth Elaine Thompson Mynard Smikrud Living Smikrud Living Crivits Living Smikrud Living Dahl 1950 - 1950 Edry Smikrud 2m 2m Living Smikrud Living Campbell Living Smikrud Living Arnold Living Smikrud Living Johnson Living Thompson Living Sanders Living Sanders Living Sanders 1964 - 1964 John Lang Thompson 4d 4d 1853 - 1921 Julia Emoline Levis 67 67 1875 Mamie Thompson Henry Secord Will McDonald 1878 - 1960 Frank Thompson 82 82 Lottie Turner 1880 - 1923 Benjamin Thompson 42 42 1886 Clara Brownell 1882 Daisy Thompson Adolph Sander 1885 Bessie Thompson Wilfred Flood 1888 Nell Thompson Harry Schoolcraft 1890 - 1962 Rose Thompson 72 72 Oscar Sprague 1896 - 1986 John Harold Thompson 90 90 1900 - 1975 Reithel Bowen 75 75 Sylvia Amy (Nason) Stoffel 1829 - 1890 Anders Pederson 60 60 Anders Pederson purchased his farm in Irving Township, near Black River Falls, Jackson County, Wisconsin on 24 January 1881.  It was purchased for the sum of $235 from John and Mary Benson.  The farm is described as being the South half of the Northeast quarter of Section No. Eleven and the South West quarter of the North West quarter of Section No. Twelve in the Township of Irving, twenty North of Range Five West, containing 120 acres more or less.
     The land was deeded to Christ Pederson upon the death of his father, but the son died only a year later.  On 16 May 1899, the land was deeded to Marit Pederson and her daughter, Anna Boreson. 1829 - 1903 Maret Christensdatter 73 73 A newspaper obituary reads that Mrs. Maret Peterson Bram died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bernt Borreson, in the town of Irving, in the vicinity of Trout, on Monday, the 21st, at the age of 74 years.  She had been nearly three years an invalid, the result of being hurt by a calf. 1891 - 1955 Elmer O.

Gager 1807 - 1878 John Peter Fengel 71 71      John Peter Fengel II and his wife, Anna Margaret, were born near Deutenhofen, Germany, and lived there until their emigration to the United States in 1843.  Their reason for leaving Germany was to insure the exemption from military service of their sons, so abhorrent to them was the idea of war.  So in the spring of 1843, at Pentecost, with their four children, they set forth from Darmstadt to Gernsheim in a wagon. From Gernsheim they traveled by steamer, going down the Rhine.  While at sea, their sailing ship encountered severe storms, causing them to be 54 days upon the water.  At one point of the journey the captain of the ship noticed that there were sharks following close to the boat and said, "There must be someone dead on the ship."  He searched and found a mother carrying a dead baby in her arms, wrapped in a blanket.  He took the baby from her and tossed it into the Atlantic Ocean.  After that occurred they did not see any more sharks.  In the final days of the voyage their food supplies ran so low that they only ate one meal a day.  Finally, they landed in New York instead of Baltimore as they had originally planned. Upon arriving in New York, they went directly to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to visit some relatives.  Then they continued their journey westward as far as Burlington, Iowa.  They remained here a short time and then moved into the country, some ten miles west of Burlington and near the little town of Danville, where they purchased some land and established their home.
     According to family legend, the name of " Fenchel " was changed to it's current spelling of " Fengel " over an inheritance dispute.  There was old law in Germany, that when the father died leaving an estate, all of the estate fell into the hands of the eldest son, who then divided the estate as he saw fit.  There were two Fenchel brothers, and the younger brother felt that he did not get his fair share, so he changed the spelling of his name to "Fengal".  The word fengel ( fennel in English ) is the name of a plant used in making yeast.  The Fenchels had been bakers for several generations.
     It has also been mentioned that Johann Peter Fenchel II and his wife Anna Margaretha were "closer related that first cousins are".  It may be noted that her father is listed as Peter Fenchal and her mother as Maria Magdalena Kratz, but that Anna Margaretha was registered by her mother's maiden name.  It may also be noted that Kratz was the maiden name of Johann Peter II's mother, as well.

Early in the spring he returned to New Orleans and took a boat up the Mississippi River to Burlington, Iowa, returning on the first Monday in April, 1951.
     His uncle Henry started home by ship by the way of Cape Horn but the ship went down and perished, along with the gold that they had accumulated.  Young Henry and family came to Kansas in a mover wagon in 1868, buying a farm one mile east of Woodbine from his brother-in-law Rev. Charles Heidel.  He and his wife visited California again in 1915 for the San Francisco World Fair. 1862 Mary Ann Lee 1833 Peter Adolph Fengal 1833 Maria Magdelina Fengal Rev.

The birth of Isaacwas promised (see Genesis 17:19, 21) to Abraham and his wife Sarah, aftera long and childless marriage, as a sign that the blessings originallybestowed by God upon Abraham would be continued in Isaac, heir of theCovenant. The events of Isaac's life are recounted in Genesis 21-28.

The dominant story in the narrative, and one of the most widely knownstories in the Bible, is that of the projected sacrifice of Isaac (seeGenesis 22). According to this account, God tested Abraham's faith byasking him to sacrifice his beloved son. At the last moment, after Godwas convinced of the perfect obedience of both father and son, heaccepted a ram as a substitute for the youth. This story is thought toexpress the Hebrew rejection of human sacrifice, practiced by surroundingnations. The ram is recalled today in synagogue ritual at the solemnblowing of the shofar, or ram's horn, during the Jewish High Holy Days,Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

The New Testament alludes to Isaac as a precursor of Christ and of thechurch (see Galatians 3:16, 4:21-31), and the obedience to his father tothe extent of self-sacrifice is associated with that of Christ (seeHebrews 11:17-19). These themes were developed by several of thepatristic writers, and Isaac appears often in Christian art, particularlyin association with the Eucharist.

Archaeologists and biblical scholars have drawn parallels between thebiblical narrative of Isaac and the history of the Semitic tribes.Abraham is thought to represent the nomadic stock out of which the Hebrewand Edomite tribes separated. Isaac is believed to represent the tribesthat joined to form the Hebrew confederacy and to give allegiance to theGod, Yahweh, or Jehovah, originally a tribal deity; and Ishmael isbelieved to represent the tribes of Edom. Isaac was a relatively minorfigure compared to the other two great biblical patriarchs, Abraham, hisfather, and Jacob, his son; but a number of the details of the biblicalaccount are believed by scholars to have major symbolic importance.

The story of his birth is believed to be a deliberate attempt by earlyHebrew writers to alter the traditions of the Semitic tribes in order tostrengthen adherence to the Hebrew confederacy, a military and politicalalliance, by suggesting that it had divine inspiration. In making Isaacthe legitimate son, and Ishmael the illegitimate son, of their commonancestor, the Hebrews claimed superiority over the independent Edomitetribes. Finally, the rivalry between Isaac's two sons is thought toreflect again the rivalry between Edom and the Hebrews.

Tough and athletic, Henry II was strongly built, with a leonine head, freckled face, and red hair.

. Henry II, King of England, was born in 1133 and died July 6, 1189, aged 57. On the death of his father he found himself Count of Anjou and heir to a great empire in France, strong and consolidated, to which his marriage with Eleanor, of Aquitiane, in May, 1152, further added Aquitiane. On the death of King Stephen, Henry was recognized as King of England, Dec. 19, 1154, at the age of 21. 1. William, the Conqueror, married Matilda of Flanders. 2. Henry I, King of England. 2. Adela married Stephen of 3. Maud m. Geoffrey Plantagenet. Blois. 4. Henry II, King of Eng., 1154-1189. 3. King Stephen, 1135-1154. King Henry II inherited a greater extent of territory than ever had been held by an English sovereign, which he still further increased by the conquest of Ireland and Brittany, and by his marriage with the richly portioned daughter and heiress of William V, Duke of Aquitiane and Count of Poictou. He was styled "Rex Angliae, Dux Normandie and Aquitiane." By his Princess, who died June 26, 1202, Henry had issue: William, Henry Richard (called Coeur de Lion), Geoffrey, John, Matilda, Eleanor and Joan. He was succeeded by Richard I, who in turn was succeded by his brother,


Henry II (of England) (1133-1189), king of England (1154-1189), first monarch of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Born in Le Mans, France, Henry became Duke of Normandy in 1151. He claimed the English kingship through his mother, Matilda. She had been designated the heiress of Henry I but had been deprived of the succession by her cousin, Stephen of Blois. In 1153 Henry defeated Stephen's armies and compelled the king to choose him as his successor; on Stephen's death in 1154 Henry became king.
In 1164 Henry became involved in a quarrel with Thomas à Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, over Henry's efforts to subject the church to his courts. In 1170 Becket was murdered by four of Henry's knights. Widespread indignation over the murder forced the king to recognize Becket as a martyr.
Henry instituted important judicial reforms, establishing a centralized system of justice. He began the process of replacing the old trial by ordeal with modern court procedures. He was succeeded by his son Richard I, called Richard the Lion-Hearted.

Swinnerton of Robert de Stafford, and that this Alain is ancestor of the Swinnertons. Holinshed, in his Chronicle, states that whilst the
Conqueror held siege before York, he advanced at the request of his Queen Maud, his nephew Alane, Earl of Britain, with the gift of all those lands that some time belonged to Earl Edwine, and calls him a man of stout stomach, and one that would defend what was given him. In Tailleur's Chronicle of Normandie in the catalogue of the noblemen that came into England with the Conqueror, this Alain is called Alain Fergant, Earl of Britaine.

In 47th of Henry III, 1263, he   was amongst those who appeared openly in arms and fortified Northampton, for which reason his lands were seized by the crown. Upon the subsequent fall of Northampton to the royalists, Nicholas fled to London, where the citizens, having raised a large army for the barons, made him their General. At the head of this force, he marched with Gilbert de Clare and Henry de Hastings to Rochester, and thence to Lewes, at   which place the celebrated battle so disastrous to the King commenced,   by a charge made by Segrave at the head of the Londoners; in this he   was worsted by Prince Edward, who, flushed with success, pursued his advantage too far and thus mainly contributed to the defeat which the royal cause sustained. The King, Edward and their chief adherents became prisoners to the rebels, who followed up their triumph by immediately summoning a Parliament in the King's name, to which Nicholas   Segrave was summoned as Baron Segrave Dec. 25, 1264. But, the tide   soon ebbing, he was among the defeated at Evesham, where he was   wounded and made prisoner. He received full pardon and in four years   attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land, and when that Prince ascended   the throne as Edward I, he appears to have enjoyed a large share of   royal favour. He was later in the Scottish and Welsh wars and had a   second summons to Parliament June 24, 1295. He married Maud de Lucy,   and had John, Nicholas, Geoffrey, Peter, Gilbert, Annabel and     6.

He married Maud de Mameslape, whose family name originated from a parish on the border of Buckinghamshire, extending to Northampton, later called Hameslape. There was a William de Hameslape on the Humdred rolls of County Bucks, 1273 A. D. Maud's father Michael de Hameslape is addressed by King Henry I, in a charter made at Rockingham about the year 1101 in favor of the See of Lincoln. He is also mentioned as once lord of the fief which Henry I bestowed on William Malduit; but Bank's Dormant and Extinct Baronetcies says, "Mauduit marrying Maude, daughter of Michael de Hameslape, acquired with her the barony of Hameslape in County Buckingham," she being the sole daughter and heir.

His lordship attained majority in the 15th King John [1214] and, although that monarch had, during his minority, taken away his inheritance of Gower, in Wales, and bestowed it upon William de Braose, his lordship, nevertheless, adhered to the royal cause in all the subsequent conflicts between the crown and the barons in the reigns of King John and his son Henry III.

She afterwards m. Richard Siward, a turbulent person, but of a martial disposition from his youth, who took an active part with the barons.

Henry de Beaumont was first styled earl in June 1213, and died in Oct. 1229. His son, Thomas, had only a brief career, for he was recognized as earl in 1233 and died in June 1242, leaving his sister Margaret (d. 1263) as his heiress.

William I (of England), called The Conqueror (1027-1087), first Norman king of England (1066-1087), who has been called one of the first modern kings and is generally regarded as one of the outstanding figures in western European history. Born in Falaise, France, William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy. Upon Robert's death, the Norman nobles accepted William as his successor. During a visit in 1051 to his childless cousin, Edward the Confessor, king of England, William is said to have obtained Edward's agreement that he should succeed to the English throne. When King Edward died, however, the witenagemot (royal council) elected Harold, earl of Wessex, as king. William secured the sanction of Pope Alexander II for a Norman invasion of England.
The duke and his army landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066. On October 14, the Normans defeated the English forces at the Battle of Hastings, in which Harold was slain. William proceeded to London and was crowned king of England in Westminster Abbey. William met opposition with strong measures. By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. William invaded Scotland in 1072 and forced the Scottish king Malcolm III MacDuncan to pay him homage. During the succeeding years the Conqueror crushed insurrections among his Norman followers. One feature of William's reign as king was his reorganization of the English feudal and administrative systems. In 1087, during a campaign against King Philip I of France, William's horse fell in the vicinity of Mantes, fatally injuring him.

He made an expedition against England in 994 and extorted a large amount of tribute money. Following a massacre of Danes in England in 1002, he conducted a further series of raids and in 1013 led an invasion with the object of effecting a permanent conquest. The fall of London and the flight of the English king Ethelred II to Normandy early in 1014 made Sweyn master of the country. After his death the throne of England eventually passed (1016) to his son Canute II.

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.

When his oldest brother, King Edgar, died, he left the Scottish domains north of the Forth of Clyde to another brother, who became King Alexander I, while David inherited southern Scotland with the title of earl of Cumbria. Six years later, David married the daughter of the earl of Northumbria and thereby became earl of Huntingdon and a vassal of the English crown. In 1124 King Alexander died, and David became king of Scotland. From 1136 to 1138, he tried unsuccessfully to help his niece Matilda secure the English throne. Thereafter David devoted himself to ruling Scotland. He replaced the traditional Scottish tribal organization with a feudal one modeled after that of Norman England and was noted for the castles he built and the monasteries he founded.

also called Louis IV "Transmarinus" .

During father Charles III "the Simple"'s struggle with Hugh the Great, Ogive (Eadgifu) daughter of Saxon Kind Edward took Louis to England. Recalled to France in 936, crowned June 19 at Laon.

Louis IV, in German, Ludwig IV, called The Bavarian (1287?-1347), Holy Roman emperor (1314-47) and king of Germany (1314-47), son of Louis II, duke of Bavaria (1228-1294). Louis IV warred with Frederick III, called the Fair, a rival candidate for the imperial crown, from 1314 to 1322, and then until 1326 with Leopold I, Frederick's brother, also a rival emperor. Pope John XXII refused to crown Louis IV and excommunicated him in 1324. Louis invaded Italy in 1327, occupied Rome from 1327 to 1330, and secured his coronation in 1328 from Nicholas V, whom he proclaimed pope in 1328. Nicholas abdicated as antipope in 1330. During the series of armed conflicts that began in 1337 between England and France, called the Hundred Years' War, Louis at first sided with England but later aided France. In 1338 the electoral princes of the Holy Roman Empire declared that emperors no longer needed papal confirmation of their election. He was succeeded as Holy Roman emperor by Charles IV of the house of Luxembourg.

His reign was marked by bitter military struggles. After negotiating a treaty with Richard II, duke of Normandy (reigned about 996-1026), Ethelred married Richard's sister Emma. This marriage provided the basis for the subsequent Norman claim to the English throne. Although Ethelred paid tribute to the plundering Danes, Sweyn I (the Forkbeard), king of Denmark, invaded England in 1013 and proclaimed himself king. In 1014 Ethelred fled to Normandy but returned a few months later upon Sweyn's death. Sweyn's son and successor, Canute II, invaded the country a year later and, following Ethelred's death, became king of England. Ethelred's sobriquet, "The Unready," is a corruption of the Old English unraed, "bad counsel," which is a reference to his misfortunes.

He had expected to inherit his uncle's position of influence in what is now Wales, until his cousin, Helena, married the Roman citizen, Magnus Maximus. Originally, Conan was considerably put out by this man's rise to power and he organised a rebellion against him, aided by Picts & Scots. However, being defeated, Conan became great friends with his rival and travelled with Maximus to the continent to help him become Emperor of the West. He was given control over Armorica (modern Brittany) as a reward for killing the previous holder of the title. His new province, 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 old ally, Donaut  of Dumnonia for numerous Cornish ladies. Conan proposed to cement the alliance of their two peoples by marrying Donaut's daughter, Ursula. Though Donaut was delighted at the match, Ursula had her heart set on a life devoted only to God. She agreed to the marriage, on the condition that she first be allowed to go on a pilgrimage throughout Europe. Conan appears to have joined her in Rome, where the two must have been married, probably by Pope Cyriacus himself. He apparently did not travel to Cologne where Ursula died. In later years, he gained considerable influence in Dumnonia after the death of his father-in-law. The Governorship of Armorica & Dumnonia was united for only a short time. As his second wife, Conan married Dareca of Ireland, a supposed, though unlikely, sister of St. Patrick. Upon Conan's death, around AD 395, control of each region fell to the sons of his two marriages, Gadeon  and Gradlon.
 ~0320 St. Ursula verch Dynod ~0280 Dynod Donaut (Welsh: Dynod; Latin: Donatus; English: Donat)

Not a king, but probably a powerful man in the Roman administration, Donaut was brother of Caradoc of Dumnonia and appears to have inherited his influence in the Civitas Dumnoniorum. He gave his daughter, St. Ursula, in marriage to Conan Meriadoc, but she would only consent if she was first able to go on a pilgrimage with eleven thousand virginal followers. They were all massacred in Cologne ~0286 Eudaf Hen (Latin: Octavius; English: Odda)

Eudaf Hen (the Old) first appears in the old Welsh mythological tale, the "Dream of Macsen". The future Roman Emperor, Magnus Maximus, dreamt of Eudaf's beautiful daughter, Elen Lluyddog (of the Host), and sent emissaries across the Empire to find her. She was discovered in her father's palace at Caer-Segeint (Caernarfon) where the old man sat, carving 'gwyddbwyll' pieces (like chess-men). Maximus came to Britain, married the girl and eventually inherited 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 Romanized lifestyle. The Latin Octavius the Old is therefore a much more appropriate form of his name. His daughter was Helena.

The Dream story clearly indicates that Octavius was the monarch around Caernarfon in North Wales, but later writers - chiefly the mistrusted Geoffrey of Monmouth - made him "Duke of the Giwissei" or "Iarl Ergyng ac Ewias": evidently ruling in Ergyng and Gwent. This may have arisen from his supposed descent from so-called pre-Roman Kings of Siluria (named after the Celtic tribe who lived in that area). Though the connection is persistent and it is equally possible that the Caernarfon association is due to Maximus and Helena's later residence there. Octavius would not have been a king at this date, but perhaps a decurion of one of these civitates (Roman towns). However, he is also called one of the High-Kings of Britain. Such a title would, clearly, not have existed either but it may indicate that he held a position of considerable importance in the Roman administration. The official with control of both the Caernarfon and Gwent areas was the Praeses of Britannia Prima.

Geoffrey's mythology has Octavius taking up the British High-Kingship after 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 claim that he had various sons, Conan, Adeon/Gadeon and Eudaf II. Others, that Helena was his sole direct heiress and that Conan, his male heir, was only his nephew. This appears to fit best. Magnus Maximus and his wife probably inherited Eudaf's position in society, helping the former to put himself forward as Emperor of the West. Conan made excellent marriages and was placated with vast estates given by his cousin's husband. Adeon/Gadeon alias Cadfan was actually his son. Eudaf II appears very late and is probably mythological.

His brother Linus the Martyr, his sister Claudia and her husband Rufus Pudens aided the Apostle Paul in the Christian Church in Rome, as recorded in II Timothy 4:21 and Romans 16:13 (Rufus Pudens and St. Paul are shown to be half-brothers, with the same mother but different fathers. "His mother and mine." She thus appears to have been the mother of an elder son, Paul, by a Hebrew husband, and a younger son, Rufus, by a second marriage with a Roman Christian.)

Caratacus, the First British Hero

An historical person with some legendary accretions, Caratacus (also spelled Caractacus) was the king of the Catuvellauni at the time of the Roman invasion under their commander, Aulus Plautius. Caratacus emerges from history as one of the few early Britons with a distinct personality, thanks in large part to the accounts of Tacitus and Cassius Dio. He and his brother, Togodumnus, were said to be sons of the British king, Cunobelinus, and, after the king's death, became the leaders of the anti-Roman campaign that managed to resist the invaders for a period of nearly nine years.*

After some early defeats in the east, Caratacus moved west into more rugged territories that would be easier to defend. His numerically inferior forces survived an indecisive engagement with the Romans in the land of the Silures (modern-day Glamorgan in Wales) and so Caratacus moved north, to the land of the Ordovices (central Gwynedd, southern Clwyd, northern Powys) to find the ideal location for a battle which he intended to be decisive.

Caratacus' final defeat came at the hands of the Roman governor, Ostorious Scapula, in 51 AD. Although his forces were defeated, Caratacus was not killed in the battle and managed to escape to the land of the Brigantes in northern Britain, where he hoped to find safety and a base for future resistance to the Romans. Unfortunately for him, Cartimandua, the Queen of the Brigantes, was bound by a client-ruler relationship with the Romans, so she handed Caratacus over to them.

He was sent to Rome along with other captives, where he came to Claudius' attention for his courtesy and bearing and so was pardoned. He and his family were permitted to live out their lives in peace in Italy, but the date of his death is unknown.

The account of these events is taken from Tacitus' "Annals," Book XII (translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb):
The army then marched against the Silures, a naturally fierce people and now full of confidence in the might of Caratacus, who by many an indecisive and many a successful battle had raised himself far above all the other generals of the Britons. Inferior in military strength, but deriving an advantage from the deceptiveness of the country, he at once shifted the war by a stratagem into the territory of the Ordovices, where, joined by all who dreaded peace with us, he resolved on a final struggle. He selected a position for the engagement in which advance and retreat alike would be difficult for our men and comparatively easy for his own, and then on some lofty hills, wherever their sides could be approached by a gentle slope, he piled up stones to serve as a rampart. A river too of varying depth was in his front, and his armed bands were drawn up before his defences.

Then too the chieftains of the several tribes went from rank to rank, encouraging and confirming the spirit of their men by making light of their fears, kindling their hopes, and by every other warlike incitement. As for Caratacus, he flew hither and thither, protesting that that day and that battle would be the beginning of the recovery of their freedom, or of everlasting bondage. He appealed, by name, to their forefathers who had driven back the dictator Caesar, by whose valour they were free from the Roman axe and tribute, and still preserved inviolate the persons of their wives and of their children. While he was thus speaking, the host shouted applause; every warrior bound himself by his national oath not to shrink from weapons or wounds.

Such enthusiasm confounded the Roman general. The river too in his face, the rampart they had added to it, the frowning hilltops, the stern resistance and masses of fighting men everywhere apparent, daunted him. But his soldiers insisted on battle, exclaiming that valour could overcome all things; and the prefects and tribunes, with similar language, stimulated the ardour of the troops. Ostorius having ascertained by a survey the inaccessible and the assailable points of the position, led on his furious men, and crossed the river without difficulty. When he reached the barrier, as long as it was a fight with missiles, the wounds and the slaughter fell chiefly on our soldiers; but when he had formed the military testudo, and the rude, ill-compacted fence of stones was torn down, and it was an equal hand-to-hand engagement, the barbarians retired to the heights. Yet even there, both light and heavy-armed soldiers rushed to the attack; the first harassed the foe with missiles, while the latter closed with them, and the opposing ranks of the Britons were broken, destitute as they were of the defence of breast-plates or helmets. When they faced the auxiliaries, they were felled by the swords and javelins of our legionaries; if they wheeled round, they were again met by the sabres and spears of the auxiliaries. It was a glorious victory; the wife and daughter of Caratacus were captured, and his brothers too were admitted to surrender.

There is seldom safety for the unfortunate, and Caratacus, seeking the protection of Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes, was put in chains and delivered up to the conquerors, nine years after the beginning of the war in Britain. His fame had spread thence, and travelled to the neighbouring islands and provinces, and was actually celebrated in Italy. All were eager to see the great man, who for so many years had defied our power. Even at Rome the name of Caratacus was no obscure one; and the emperor, while he exalted his own glory, enhanced the renown of the vanquished. The people were summoned as to a grand spectacle; the praetorian cohorts were drawn up under arms in the plain in front of their camp; then came a procession of the royal vassals, and the ornaments and neck-chains and the spoils which the king had won in wars with other tribes, were displayed. Next were to be seen his brothers, his wife and daughter; last of all, Caratacus himself. All the rest stooped in their fear to abject supplication; not so the king, who neither by humble look nor speech sought compassion.

When he was set before the emperor's tribunal, he spoke as follows: "Had my moderation in prosperity been equal to my noble birth and fortune, I should have entered this city as your friend rather than as your captive; and you would not have disdained to receive, under a treaty of peace, a king descended from illustrious ancestors and ruling many nations. My present lot is as glorious to you as it is degrading to myself. I had men and horses, arms and wealth. What wonder if I parted with them reluctantly? If you Romans choose to lord it over the world, does it follow that the world is to accept slavery? Were I to have been at once delivered up as a prisoner, neither my fall nor your triumph would have become famous. My punishment would be followed by oblivion, whereas, if you save my life, I shall be an everlasting memorial of your clemency."

Upon this the emperor granted pardon to Caratacus, to his wife, and to his brothers. Released from their bonds, they did homage also to Agrippina who sat near, conspicuous on another throne, in the same language of praise and gratitude.
Tacitus, in his account, gives us all the other details but fails to name the location of Caratacus' final battle. "One particular problem that has prompted much debate centres on locating the so-called last stand of Caratacus - who had strategically chosen to move the scene of his activities from the territory of the Silures to that of the Ordovices. Folk memory or antiquarianism has given the name Caer Caradog (Caratacus' fort) to three hillforts, one dominating the Church Stretton gap, another south of Clun and the third in Clwyd. Although the second is relatively close to known Roman marching camps around Leintwardine, none have produced and evidence of investment. Moreover, all lack the nearby river required by the Tacitean narrative. . ."A more likely possibility is offered by the massive limestone spur of Llanymynech which dominates the western edge of the north Shropshire plain. Evidence of a Roman campaign base has now emerged at the western foot of the massif close to a newly discovered Julio-Claudian fort at Llansantffraid to make Llanymynech a strong candidate for identification as Caratacus' chosen position." **

Excavations done at the above-mentioned locales have failed to produce any conclusive archaeological fruit. So, it would seem that any location that one chooses as one's favourite candidate for Caratacus' "last stand," so long as it meets Tacitus' topographical qualifications and is found in northeastern Wales or western Shropshire, is as valid a place as any.

Some investigators have come to the conclusion that Caratacus is the historic original for King Arthur, while others insist that he and Arviragus, another early British figure in the anti-Roman resistance, are one and the same.

Emperor Claudius greatly admired the character and extraordinary beauty of Gladys, the daughter of Caractacus. It grew into a deep paternal affection with the result that Emperor Claudius adopted Gladys as his own daughter, a girl who was an exceptionally devout Christian!

The Emperor was well aware of the strong Christian convictions of Gladys, and what strikes one forcibly is the fact that the record states that the terms of her adoption did not require her to recant from her faith.

Gladys was not to remain long under the royal roof. The year after her adoption was to see a beautiful romance destined to culminate later in heartbreaking tragedy. In her teens, Claudia was betrothed and married. In the year AD 53, she became the wife of Rufus Pudens Pudentius, an epochal event history could well make as momentous.

Pudens, as he is most commonly referred to, was a Roman Senator and former personal aide-de-camp to Aulus Plautius. Pudens went to Britain with the Commander-in-Chief at the commencement of the Claudian campaign AD 42.

What could be a stranger circumstance than that of the British Pendragon Caractacus permitting his favorite daughter to become adopted by the remorseless enemy who had brought about his defeat at Clune and see his sister and daughter married to Plautius and Pudens, the leaders he had opposed in battle for nine long years?

Claudia was seventeen years of age when she married Rufus Pudens. The nuptials did not take place at the Imperial Palace of her adopted father, as one might expect, but at the palace of her natural father, the Plautium Britannicum, a Christian household. It was a Christian marriage performed by the Christian Pastor, Hermas, which proves that Pudens was already a Christian convert. It is interesting to note that they continued to live at the Plautium Britannicum; interesting because Pudens was an extremely wealthy man, owning vast estates in Umbria, but he chose to live at the Place of the British, where their four illustrious children were born.

The first Christian Church at Rome, known first as the "Titulus," is now called St. Prudentiana. Here the nuptials of Claudia and Rufus Pudens Prudentinus were celebrated AD 53. Four children were the issue of this marriage-- St Timotheus, St. Novatus, St. Prudentiana, St. Praxedes. Of the sons of Caradoc, Cyllinus and Cynon returned to Britian, the former succeeding on his death to the Silurian throne. The second, Lleyn, or Linus, remained with his father, and was subsequently, consecrated by St. Paul first bishop of the Roman Church. Bran Fendigaid ap Llyr Llediaith biographical and/or anecdotal:
Bran, King of Siluria, also commander of the British fleet. In the year A.D. 36 (should that be 0136?) he resigned the crown to his son Caradoc and became Arch-Druid of the college of Siluria, where he remained some years until called upon to be a hostage for his son. During his seven years in Rome he became the first royal convert to Christianity, and was baptized by the Apostle Paul, as was his son Caradoc and the latter's two sons, Cyllinus and Cynon. Henceforth he was known as Bran the Blessed Sovereign. "He was the first to bring the faith of Christ to the Cymry." His recorded proverb is: "There is no good apart from God." He introduced the use of vellum into Britain.

The youngest son of William the Conqueror was born in England. His nickname, Beauclerc, which means "good scholar," was given him because of his fine education. He seized the crown in the year 1100, when his brother King William II was killed in a hunting accident and his brother Robert, duke of Normandy, who was next in the line of succession, was absent on a crusade At his accession Henry I issued the famous Charter of Liberties, which, over a hundred years later, was used as the basis of Magna Carta, the foundation of the liberties of the Anglo-Saxon world. He also favored the church in order to gain its backing against the claims of his brother Robert to the English throne.
The Charter of Liberties helped gain Henry the support of the nobles. He conciliated the English, conquered by his father, by marrying Matilda, who was the daughter of King Malcolm III of Scotland and who was descended from the Anglo-Saxon kings. The support of the common people was assured by the justice he administered through the King's Court. Henry's only son, William Aetheling, was drowned in 1120 when the White Ship sank in the English Channel. According to legend, the king never smiled again. The accident left his daughter Matilda, widow of the Holy Roman emperor Henry V, and his nephew Stephen contestants for the throne at his death.

Henry I (of England)

Henry I (of England) (1068-1135), third Norman king of England (1100-1135), fourth son of William the Conqueror. Henry was born in Selby. 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. By defeating Robert, who was Duke of Normandy, at Tinchebray, France, in 1106, Henry also won Normandy. Henry designated his daughter Matilda as his heiress. After his death in 1135, however, Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois, usurped the throne, plunging the country into a protracted civil war that ended with the accession of Matilda's son, Henry II, in 1154.

Geoffrey Plantagenet, the Handsome, Count of Anjou 1129-1151. King Henry I, in 1127, when a new alliance was made at Rouen, betrothed his daughter Maud, or Matilda, to Geoffrey Plantagenet, and the marriage was celebrated at Le Mans, France, June 2, 1127. She was called the Empress Maud, being the widow of Henry V, Emperor of the Roman Empire and later of Germany, whom she had married Jan. 7, 1114. From the first Geoffrey tried to profit by his marriage, and after the death of Henry I, Dec. 1, 1135, laid the foundation for the conquest of Normandy, by a series of campaigns; about the end of 1135 or beginning of 1136 he entered that country and rejoined his wife, the Countess Maud. After many battles he received the submission of Argentan, Domfront, Bayeux, Caen and Falaise. In March, 1141, on hearing of his wife's success in England he entered Normandy, and many towns surrendered, and in 1144 he entered Rouen and received the ducal crown of Normandy in its cathedral. Finally in 1149, after crushing a last attempt at revolt, he handed over the Duchy to his son Henry, who received the investiture at tfhe hands of the King of France. Geoffrey Plantagenet had, by Maud, who died Sept. 10, 1167, a son and successor Henry, Count of Anjou, who ascended the throne of England as Henry II. (He also had a natural son, Hameline Plantagenet, who married Isabel de Warren, and took the name of de Warren, and became through his wife the Earl of Warren and Surrey, from whom you descend in several different ways.) Geoffrey Plantagenet, a prince of great justice and charity, died Sept., 1150, and was buried at Mans, in St. Julien's Church.

Political Events, 1151

Geoffrey of Anjou dies September 7 at age 38. He has been called "Plantagenet" for his habit of wearing a sprig of broom (genet) in his cap and is succeeded as count of Anjou by his son Henry, 18, to whom he gave the duchy of Normandy last year.

Source: WFT CD #037 - Tree #0514 -
Malcolm III founded the house of Canmore, which ruled Scotland for more than 200 years and consolidated the power of the Scottish monarchy. He was the son of Duncan I, who was killed by MacBeth in 1040. Malcolm lived in exile until 1057, when he defeated and killed MacBeth near Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire. He succeeded to the throne in 1058 after the death of Lulach, MacBeth's stepson.

Malcolm's second wife was Margaret (later canonized as Margaret of Scotland) of the English royal house of Wessex, who fled to Scotland after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. She introduced a powerful English influence in Scotland.

Malcolm invaded England many times, after 1068 supporting the claim of his brother-in-law Edgar Atheling to the English throne. In 1072, however, he was forced to pay homage to William I, and in 1091, to William II. He was finally defeated and killed by Norman forces at Alnwick. He was succeeded briefly by his brother Donald Bane and them by his son Duncan II. Three other sons also succeeded to the throne--Edgar(1097-1107), Alexander I(1107-24) and David(1124-53).

Burial: 1093, Holy Trinity Church, Dunfermline, Fifeshire, Scotland 1045 - 1093 Margaret "the Saint" of England 48 48 Her remains were removed to Escorial, Spain & her head to Douai, France

Canonised 1250 and her feast day is 16th November. In 1057 she arrived at the
English court of Edward the Confessor. Ten years later she was in exile after
William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings. She fled to Scotland where
she was married against her wishes to King Malcolm to whom she bore six sons
and two daughters. Her unlerned and boorish husband grew daily more graceful
and Christian under the queen's graceful influence. ~1080 Mary of Scotland ~1070 King of Scotland Edgar ~1060 - 1094 II Duncan 34 34 Edward Caennmor I Edmund Abbot of Dunkeld Ethelred 1078 Alexander I 'The Fierce' Ingibiorg Finnsdottir Malcolm of Scotland Donald of Scotland ~1016 - 1057 Edward the Ætheling 41 41 EDMUND ÆTHELING,
the nephew and next of kin of the English king Edward the Confessor. Edmund was exiled to Europe in 1016, during the reign of the Danish king Cnut. He married Agatha, daughter of Stephen I, King of Hungary and Saint. Their children were Edgar, Margaret, and Christina. He returned to England and died under mysterious circumstances in 1057.

Spent much of his life in Hungary, returned to England in 1057 only to die.
If he had lived, probably would have been the undisputed ruler of England & thus his son, the last Prince of Wessex, was still a minor when he died. ~1020 - 1054 Agatha Von Brunswick 34 34 ~1040 Christina Ætheling ~1036 - >1126 Edgar 'Ætheling' 90 90 Edgar Atheling

   [O.E. ætheling,=son of the king], 1060?–1125?, English prince, grandson of Edmund Ironside. After the death of King Harold at the battle of Hastings in 1066, Edgar was chosen king, but he submitted to William I in the same year. In 1068 he fled to the Scottish king Malcolm III , who soon married Edgar’s sister St. Margaret of Scotland. Edgar took part in the unsuccessful Northumbrian uprising (1069) in which the Danes also joined. After Malcolm made his peace with William in 1072, the Atheling probably lived in Flanders until he himself came to terms with William in 1074 and settled in France. After William’s death Edgar joined Malcolm in raiding England in 1091, but after that he seems to have been at peace with William II of England. He led the English expedition that in 1097 dethroned Donald III and seated the Atheling’s nephew Edgar (d. 1107) on the throne of Scotland. The Atheling went on the crusade of 1099 with Robert II, duke of Normandy, and later fought for Robert against Henry I of England. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Tinchebrai (1106) but was released.

When Ethelred died, Edmund was chosen king by the people of London, but Canute II, king of Denmark, who was leading an invasion of England, secured the support of the council (witenagemot) at Southampton and of Edric (flourished 1001-17), Ethelred's son-in-law. Edmund met the Danes in battle, winning several engagements and relieving Canute's siege of London. He was defeated at Assandun (now Ashington), however, through the treachery of Edric, who had pretended to desert Canute. A truce was arranged between Canute and Edmund; Edmund was permitted to rule the south of England until his death later in the year, when it reverted to Canute.

In 957, during the rule of his brother, King Edwy, Edgar was chosen by the Mercians and Northumbrians to be their sovereign. One of his first acts was to recall the monastic reformer St. Dunstan, whom Edwy had exiled; Edgar subsequently made Dunstan bishop of Worcester and London and archbishop of Canterbury. In 959 Edgar succeeded to the entire English Kingdom. His reign was notable for the establishment of national consolidation, reformation of the clergy, improvement of the judiciary system, and formation of a fleet to defend the coast against the Scandinavian Vikings.

He participated in the Battle of Brunanburh in 937 and succeeded his half brother Athelstan as king in 939. The following year Olaf Godfreyson, a Viking ruler of Dublin, seized the territory of Northumbria in northern England and extended his rule as far south as Leicester. After Olaf's death in 941, Edmund made war on the Vikings, expelling them from the country three years later. In 945 Edmund occupied the kingdom of Strathclyde, west of Northumbria, and turned it over to his ally Malcolm I MacDonald, king of Scotland. The following year Edmund was stabbed to death by a robber and was succeeded by his brother Edred (reigned 945-55). Edmund was known as a legal reformer, especially for his restrictions on the blood feud.

This feudal lord, having married Annabil, daughter and co-heir of Robert de Chaucombe, obtained a grant in 15th of   Henry III, 1231, from Simon de Montfort, Lord of Leicester, of the whole   town of Kegworth, County Lancaster, and two years later had a grant   from the crown of the manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, County Stafford,   and was constituted Governor of Bolsover Castle. In 26th of Henry III   he was made Justice of all the royal forests south of the Trent, and   Governor of Kenilworth Castle. He died 1254. ~1225 - >1282 Amabilia de Chaucombe 57 57 ~1255 Agnes 1278 John De Somery ~1175 - ~1209 Sir Robert de Chacomb 34 34 ~1180 Juliana ~1150 - ~1200 Hugh de Chacomb 50 50 ~1150 Hodierne ~1176 - 1241 Stephen de Segrave 65 65 Stephen de Segrave, who in the 5th of King John was Constable of  the Tower of London, and remaining faithful to that monarch in his conflicts with the barons, obtained a grant in 17th of King John of the lands of Stephen de Gant lying in Lincoln and Leicester, with the manor of Kinton in Warwickshire. In 4th of Henry III he was made Governor of Saubey Castle in Leicester, and next year constituted Sheriff of Essex and Hertford, and afterwards of Leicestershire. About this time we find this successful person, whom Matthew Paris says "in his young days from a clerk was made a knight," acquired large landed property by purchase, and at length he so enriched and advanced himself that he was ranked amongst the highest nobility, was made Lord Chief Justice, and managed almost all the affairs of the nation as he pleased. He was a member of the King's Council for several years, and in the 16th of Henry III held the great office of Justiciary of England and was Governor of Dover, Canterbury and Rochester, and Constable of the Tower of London.
     After this we find him opposed to the bishops and barons, and his manor house of Segrave was burned to the ground by the populace. The King, too, in this perilous crisis deserted him, and cited him with others to appear forthwith at court in order to answer any charge regarding the wasting of the public treasury which might be preferred against them.  In 12 months subsequently, however, Stephen de Segrave made his peace by paying 1000 marks to the King, and afterwards grew into such favor that in the 21st of Henry III, 1237, he was the means of reconciling the King with some of his most hostile barons. Later being made Justice of Chester and the King's Chief Counselor and being now, says Dugdale,  "advanced in year, deported himself by experience of former times, with much more temper and moderation than heretofore."

This eminent person married twice: 1st Rohese, daughter of Stephen de Spenser, and
  2nd Ida, sister of Henry de Hastings, who was mother of his son Gilbert.  Ida de Hastings was the daughter of William de Hastings, who fought   in the cause of the Great Charta, but was not one of the Sureties, and   his wife Margery or Margaret Bigod, daughter of Roger Bigod, Surety for   the Magna Charta, and his wife Isabel de Warren, daughter of Hameline   Plantagenet de Warren and Isabel de Warren, daughter of William de   Warren and Ada de Talvas or Talvace; daughter of William, Count of   Alencon and Ponthieu, and Alix; daughter of Eudes Count of Burgundy   1102; son of Henri, Duke of Burgundy 1166; son of Robert, King of   Portugal; son of Robert, the Pious, King of France. Stephen de Segrave   departed this life 1241 and was succeeded by his son,     4. Gilbert de Segrave. ~1144 - <1201 Gilbert de Segrave 57 57 . Hereward was the first of this family of whom mention is made, and his son,     2. Gilbert de Segrave, Lord of Segrave, assumed the surname of Segrave   from a lordship of that name in County Leicester, where he had   his chief residence in the time of Henry II; in the 12th of Henry II,   1166, he held the fourth part of one knight's fee of William de Newburgh,   Earl of Warwick, and in the 4th of Richard I, 1193, he was Joint Sheriff   with Reginald Bassett for Warwick and Leicester under Hugh de Novant,   Bishop of Coventry, in which office he continued two years. He subsequently,   in 10th of Richard I, gave 400 marks to the King toward the support   of his wars. ~1114 - ~1166 Hereward de Segrave 52 52 ~1150 Rohese de Segrave 1131 - 1190 William De Hastings 59 59 1182 - 1237 Margaret Le Bigod 55 55 1150 - 1221 Roger Le Bigod 71 71 Steward of the Houshold of King Richard I.

brothers or uncles. (Granted, her inheritance from her grandfather does not
prove that she got ALL his property, and I haven't traced his holdings to

Seen as Thegn from 1005, Dux from 1026, Earl of Mercia by 1032 0980 - 1067 Lady Godiva of Coventry 87 87 Godiva, Lady (flourished about 1040-80), Anglo-Saxon noblewoman, wife of Leofric, earl of Mercia (flourished 1005-57). She is known to have persuaded her husband to found monasteries at Coventry (1043) and Stow. According to legend, she obtained a reduction in the excessive taxes levied by her husband on the people of Coventry by consenting to ride naked through the town on a white horse. Only one person disobeyed her orders to remain indoors behind closed shutters; this man, a tailor known afterward as Peeping Tom, peered through a window and immediately became blind. The oldest form of the legend is in the 13th-century Flores Historiarum (Flowers of the Historians). A festival in her honor was instituted as part of Coventry Fair in 1678.

He married 1st Ermengarde, daughter of Helias, Count of Maine, and had by her his heir, Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, Helias, who became Count of Maine or Mayenne, and two daughters, Sybilla and Matilda. He married 2nd Melesenda, daughter of Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, and became King of Jerusalem at the death of his father-in-law Sept. 4, 1131. Fulk V was son of Bertrada de Montford, who eventually deserted her husband and became the mistress of Philip I of France. Fulk became Count of Anjou in 1109, and showed himself a doughty opponent to Henry I, King of England, against whom he continually supported Louis VI of France until, in 1127, Henry I won him over by betrothing his daughter Matilda to Fulk's son Geoffrey Plantagenet. Already in 1120 Fulk V had visited the Holy Land and became a close friend of the Templars. On his return he assigned to the Order of the Templars an annual subsidy, while he also maintained two knights in the Holy Land for a year. In 1128 he was preparing to return to the East when he received an embassy from Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, who had no male heir to succeed him, offering his daughter Melisinda in marriage, with the right of eventual succession to the kingdom. Fulk accepted the offer, and in 1129 he came and married Melisinda, receiving the towns of Acre and Tyre as her dower. In 1131, when Baldwin died, he became King of Jerusalem. His reign is not marked by any considerable events; the kingdom which had reached its zenith under Baldwin II, and did not begin to decline till the capture of Edessa in the reign of Baldwin III, was quietly prosperous under his rule. In the beginning of his reign he had to act as Regent of Antioch, and provide a husband, Raymond of Poitou, for the infant heiress Constance, daughter of Bohemund. (Her 2nd husband was Raymond
of Chatillion, from whom you descend, and which gives you Bohemond, her grandfather, Leader of the First Crusade.) Twice in Fulk's reign the Eastern Emperor John Comnenus appeared in northern Syria, in 1137 and 1142, but his coming did not affect the King, who was able to decline politely a visit which the Emperor proposed to make to Jerusalem. In 1143 he died, leaving two sons by Melisande, who both became Kings of Jerusalem, as Baldwin III and Almaric I. Fulk had continued the tradition of good statesmanship and sound churchmanship which Melisande's father and grandfather, Baldwin I and II had begun. His son by his first wife succeeded him as Count of Anjou.

                          AND TALBOT COUNTY, MARYLAND
        Addendum to Clarence Ratcliff's genealogy by Donald Ratcliff

Dr. A. Wayne Ratcliff, M.D. (50 N. Liberty Street #1, Delaware, OH 43015) has extended the Ratcliff line
backwards to the earliest known ancestor, Ivo de Tailbois.  He spent eleven years, made two trips to England, and
hired a professional genealogiest to secure this information.  Most of this information is taken from The Book of
the Ratcliffs, while generations 17-21 were taken from wills located at the courthouse in Preston, Lancashire. Hildegarde de Baugency 1075 - 1146 Ermengardis D'Anjou 71 71 ~1224 - 1265 Sir Hugh le Despencer 41 41 Hugh de Spenser, born in or before 1223. He had Loughborough. Burton, Freely, and Arnesby in Co. Leicester; Parlington and Hillam in Co. York; Sibsey and Aukborough in Co. Lincoln; Ryhall and Belmesthorpe in Rutland. He took part with the barons and was nominated under the baronial power in 44th of Henry III, 1260, Justiciary of England. After the battle of Lewes he was one of those to whom the custody of the captive monarch was committed, and he was entrusted with the castles of Orford in Suffolk, of Devises in Wilts and Barnard Castle in Duram. He was summoned to Parliament on Dec. 14, 1264, as "Hugh le Despenser Justic' Angliae" and lost his life under the baronial banner at Evesham, where he joined the Earl of Leicester and was slain with him Aug. 4, 1265, and was buried in Evesham Abbey. His lordship married Aliva, daughter of Philip Bassett of Wycomb, Co. Bucks, by whom he left at his decease Hugh, of whom presently, and a daughter Alinore. Aliva's mother was Hawise, daughter of Sir Matthew de Lovaine of Little Easton in Essex. Some Genealogists say she was a daughter of John de Grey. After the forfeiture and decease of Lord Despenser, his widow Aliva found such favor with the king, that she was enabled to retain a considerable proportion of his property, and at her death, in the 9th of Edward I (1729), it devolved upon her son Hugh, when he paid a fine of 500 marks.

G., 2d Baron de Stafford (died 1372). He had a principal command in the van of the English at the battle of Cressy, and in 1351 was created by Edward, as a reward for his eminent services, Earl of Stafford

Ralph, 1st Earl of Stafford, K. G., d. 1372, great great grandson of Robert, Standard Bearer of Conquest who founded house.

Baron Stafford, who was summoned to Parliament 1337-1350. This nobleman attaining his majority in 17th of Edward II, 1324, and then doing his homage, had livery of his father's lands, and the next year became a Knight by Bathing, and other sacred ceremonies, had robes, etc., 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 Edward III, and after many years service to the King he was elected a Knight of the Garter, being one of the original members of that noble order.

Ralph Stafford was made a Knight-Baroner Jan. 20, 1327, when he served against the Scots. In 1330 he acted in concert with the Lords in maintaining a quarrel against Roger IV de Mortimer, fourth Earl of March. In 1332 he was appointed guardian of the peace for Staffordshire. In 1337, steward of the King's household. In 1340 he accompanied on his hurried return to England and was sent by the King to John de Stafford, Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1345 was appointed Seneshal of Aquitaine. He was much praised for the valor and daring. For his eminent services he was created March 5, 1351, Earl of Stafford, and constituted Lieutenant and Captain General of the Duchy of Aquitaine, in France, and in right of his wife acquired a considerable inheritance, and the Barony of Audley is supposed to have merged with that of Stafford. They had Ralph, Hugh, Beatrice, Joane, Elizabeth and Margaret. Ralph Stafford died Aug. 31, 1372. 1325 - 1345 Margaret de Audley 20 20 Margaret d'Audley, only daughter and heiress, was aged 18 or 20 when her mother died in 1342, and was then the wife of Ralph Stafford, ~1223 - ~1256 Sir William de Samlesbury 33 33 ~1220 Sir John Hesketh ~1280 Elizabeth de Holand 1242 John de Ireland ~1260 - >1311 Elizabeth De Samlesbury 51 51 ~1190 Margaret fitz Walter Margaret de Stafford 1289 - 1347 Hugh De Audley 58 58 1292 - 1342 Lady Margaret De Clare 49 49 Margaret de Clare, married Hugh d'Audley, 2nd son of Hugh, Lord Audley and Isolt, daughter of Edmund de Mortimer of Wigmore. He was summoned to Parliament in the lifetime of his father as Hugh de Audley, junori, 1317-1321, and after that nobleman's decease from 1326-1336. Little is known of him before his marriage with a great heiress. They were married April 28, 1317, at Windsor, his wife being a granddaughter of King Edward I; she was usually called Countess of Cornwall, but in 1316 she is called Countess of Gloucester and Hertford, being Lady of Tewksbury Town and Hundred. Hugh d'Audley, Hugh le Despenser and Roger Damory were called "Vices Comites," Viscounts of Gloucester, for they had married sisters. Margaret died April 9, 1342. He died s. p. m. (without male issue) Nov. 10, 1347, and was buried in Tonbridge Priory. ~1284 - 1312 Piers De Gavestone 28 28 6 JAN 1311/12 - >1334 Amy De Gavestone 1243 - 1295 Lord Gilbert De Clare 52 52 Gilbert de Clare, surnamed the Red, 7th Earl of Hertford and 3rd Earl of Gloucester, who by the King's procurement, married Alice, daughter of Guy, Earl of Angouleme, and a niece of the King of France, which monarch bestowed upon the lady a marriage portion of 5000 marks. This baron, who like his predecessors was zealous in the cause of the barons, but later abandoned the baronial cause, and having assisted in procuring the liberty of King Henry and Prince Edward, commanded the Second Brigade of the Royal Army at Evesham, which restored the kingly power to its former lustre. In reward of these eminent services he received a full pardon for himself and his brother Thomas, of all former treasons, and the custody of Bergavenny, during the minority of Maud, wife of Humphrey de Bohun. His Lordship veered again in his allegiance, and he does not appear to have been sincerely reconciled to the royal cause until 1270, in which year, demanding from Prince Edward repayment of the expenses he had incurred at the Battle of Evesham with livery of all the castles and lands which his ancestors had possessed, and these demands having been complied with, he thenceforth became a good and loyal subject of the crown.

Upon the death of King Henry III, Gilbert de Clare was one of the lords who met at the New Temple in London, to proclaim Prince Edward, then in the Holy Land, successor to the crown, and so soon as the new monarch returned to England, his Lordship was the first to entertain him and his whole retinue with great magnificence for several days at his castle in Tonebridge. In the 13th of Edward III, 1285, his Lordship divorced Alice, the French Princess, and in consideration of her illustrious birth, granted for her support during her life, six extensive manors and parks, and he married in 1289 Joane of Acre, daughter of King Edward I, upon which occasion he gave up the inheritance of all his castles and manors, in England and Wales, to his royal father-in-law, to dispose of as he might think proper, which manors, etc., were entailed by the King upon the Earl's issue by the said Joane, and in default, upon her heirs and assigns, should she survive him. By this lady he had Gilbert, Alinore, wife of Hugh le Despenser, Margaret, wife of Hugh d'Audley, and Elizabeth, wife of John de Burgh.

Gilbert de Clare died 1295 and Joane married 2nd a plain esquire, Ralph de Montheimer, clandestinely, without the King, her father's permission, but to which alliance he was reconciled and became eventually much attached to his new son-in-law. 1272 - 1307 Joan Plantagenet 35 35 1291 Gilbert de Clare 1295 - 1360 Elizabeth de Clare 65 65 1292 - 1337 Alianor (Eleanor) de Clare 44 44 Geoffrey de Geneville 1239 - 1307 Edward I 'Longshanks' 68 68 Edward I, Earl of Lancaster

Edward I (1239-1307), king of England (1272-1307). He was born in Westminster, the eldest son of King Henry III. Following his father's death in 1272, Edward was recognized as king by the English barons. In the first years of his reign, he suppressed corruption in the administration of justice, restricted the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts to church affairs, and eliminated the papacy's overlordship over England.
The major conflict in Edward's reign was an ongoing conflict with the people of Scotland. In agreeing to arbitrate among the claimants to the Scottish throne, Edward, in 1291, had required that he be recognized as overlord of Scotland. The Scots later repudiated him, and Edward invaded and conquered Scotland in 1296, declaring himself king of the realm. In 1298 he again invaded Scotland to suppress the revolt led by Sir William Wallace. However, he failed to crush Scottish opposition. In 1303 he again undertook the conquest of Scotland. Wallace was captured and executed in 1305, but a new revolt broke out, and Robert Bruce became king of Scotland. In 1307 Edward died while traveling to fight the Scots again.

"Edmundo de Woodstock" was summoned to Parliament by writ Aug. 2, 1320, about two years before he attained his majority. He had previously been in the wars of Scotland and had obtained considerable territorial grants from the crown. In the next year he was created Earl of Kent, and had a grant of the castle of Okham, in the County of Rutland, and shrievalty of the county. About the same time he was constituted Governor of the castle of Tunbridge in Kent; and upon the breaking out of the insurrection, under Thomas Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster (son of Edmund Plantagenet, 2nd son of Henry III, King of England), he was commissioned by the King (Edward II) to pursue that rebellious prince, and to lay siege to the Castle of Pontefract. The Earl of Lancaster was subsequently made a prisoner at Boroughbridge, and this Edmund Plantagenet, Earl of Kent, was one of those who condemned him to death.

From this period, during the remainder of the reign of his brother, Edward II, Edmund Plantagenet, of Woodstock, was constantly employed in the cabinet or the field. He was frequently accredited on embassies to the court of France, and was in all the wars in Gascony and Scotland. But on the accession of his nephew, King Edward III, he was arrested and sentenced to death for having conspired with other nobles to deliver his brother, the deposed Edward II, out of prison. Whereupon, by the management of Queen Isabel (wife of Edward II) and her paramour, Mortimer, he was beheaded at Winchester, in 1380, after having remained on the scaffold from noon until five in the evening, waiting for an executioner, no one being willing to undertake the horrid office, till a malefactor was procured to perform it. Margaret Wake married 1st John Comyn of Badenaugh, who died sine prole, and married 2nd this Edmund Plantagenet, who was created Earl of Kent July 28, 1322 (15th of Edward II) and was beheaded March 19, 1330 (Margaret died Sept. 29, 1349). By him she had 4 children:

(1) Edmund Plantagenet was restored in blood and honours by Parliament the year his father suffered death, and thus became Baron Woodstock and Earl of Kent, but died soon in his minority, unmarried, and was succeeded by his brother,

(2) John Plantagenet, 3rd Earl of Kent, who married Elizabeth, daughter of the Duke of Juliers, but died sine prole in 1352, when the Earldom of Kent, and the Baronies of Woodstock and Wake, Honours the first two of father and last one of their mother, devolved upon his only surviving sister Joane, Fair Maid of Kent.

(3) Margaret Plantagenet married Amaneus, eldest son of Bernard, Lord de la Brette, and died sine prole.

(4) Joane Plantagenet, of whom further.

A weak ruler, he was dominated at various times by his chamberlain, his wife, his mother, and especially his uncle Charles I of Anjou, king of the Two Sicilies. In 1285, the last year of his reign, Philip made an unsuccessful attempt to annex the kingdom of Aragón.

Philip IV (of France), called The Fair (1268-1314), king of France (1285-1314), known for his conflict with the papacy. He was born in Fontainebleau. The great event of Philip's reign was his struggle with Pope Boniface VIII, which grew out of Philip's attempt to levy taxes against the clergy. Boniface forbade the clergy to pay taxes to a secular power and in 1302 issued the bull Unam Sanctam, a declaration of papal supremacy. Philip's partisans then imprisoned Boniface. The pope escaped but died soon afterward. In 1305 Philip obtained the election of one of his own adherents as pope, Clement V, and compelled him to reside in France. Thus began the so-called Babylonian Captivity of the papacy (1309-1377), during which the popes lived at Avignon and were subjected to French control. In 1307 Philip arrested Grand Master Jacques de Molay of the Knights Templars, and in 1312 he forced the pope to suppress the religious and military order. Their wealth was confiscated by the king, and many members were burned at the stake.

Louis IX, called St. Louis (1214-70), king of France (1226-70), son and successor of Louis VIII. Louis's mother, Blanche of Castile, daughter of Alfonso IX, king of Castile, was regent during his minority and again from 1248 until her death in 1252. During the latter years Louis was in the Holy Land on the Seventh Crusade (see Crusades: The Later Crusades). Louis and his forces were defeated and captured in Egypt in 1250, and the king remained in Palestine for four years before returning to France. In 1258 Louis signed the Treaty of Corbeil, relinquishing to the kingdom of Aragón all French claims to Barcelona and Roussillon, in return for which the Aragonese renounced their claims to parts of Provence and Languedoc. In 1259 he signed the Treaty of Paris, by which Henry III of England was confirmed in his possession of territories in southwestern France and Louis received the provinces of Anjou, Normandy, Poitou, Maine, and Touraine. In 1270 Louis embarked on another Crusade and died en route at Tunis in northern Africa. He was succeeded by his son Philip III. Louis, an outstanding monarch of medieval times, was canonized in 1297. His feast day is August 25.

Harold inherited three small domains in eastern, central, and western Norway from his father, Halfdan the Black, and set out to conquer the rest of the country. After many years of campaigning, during which the chieftains of western Norway offered the most stubborn resistance, Harold gained his final victory in the Battle of Hafrsfjord, which probably took place around 885, although it may have been some years later.
Once in power, Harold ruled with a strong hand and consolidated his realm. One result of his firm rule was the acceleration of the immigration that had begun shortly before to pioneer settlements in Iceland. Many chieftains also fled to the Western (British) Isles, from where they and their kinsfolk in the Orkneys, Shetlands, and Hebrides raided the Norwegian coast. Harold was finally compelled to send a punitive expedition across the North Sea to flush out these Vikings. For the same purpose he entered into an alliance with King Athelstan of England; but he made no actual conquests. In his old age Harold abdicated in favor of his eldest legitimate son, Eric Bloodaxe, who was deposed by his half brother Håkon I after a few years of misrule.

In 992 he succeeded his father Mieszko as prince of Poland and embarked on a vigorous program of expansion, beginning by declaring his country's independence of the Holy Roman Empire. In the west he conquered Lusatia and Meissen, and in 1003 he forced Bohemia to acknowledge him as its prince. Later losing these territories to the German king Henry II, he finally regained them by the Treaty of Bautzen (1018). In the same year, he invaded the Russian state of Kyyiv, giving its throne to his son-in-law Svyatopolk. Boleslaw continued his father's support of Christianity and made the Polish church independent under the papacy, establishing Gniezno as an archbishopric. Crowned king in the year of his death, he left Poland one of the strongest states in Europe.

Philip I (of France) (1052-1108), king of France (1060-1108), the eldest son of Henry I, king of France. The first six years of his reign were spent under the regency of his mother and his uncle. Philip's reign was troubled by many clashes with his powerful vassals, particularly in Normandy, but he succeeded in enlarging his dominions. Philip was excommunicated in 1095 because he had repudiated his wife, Bertha of Holland, and married Bertrada, the wife of the count of Anjou.

Louis VI, called The Fat (1081-1137), king of France (1108-37), son and successor of Philip I; he was married to Adelaide of Savoy. Almost his entire reign was spent in subduing the robber barons, who preyed on the environs of Paris but were finally forced to yield to royal authority. For some 20 years during the period from 1109-1135, Louis waged war against Henry I, the Norman king of England, and against Henry's son-in-law, Holy Roman Emperor Henry V; he successfully repelled an invasion by Henry V in 1124. Louis greatly strengthed the royal power in France, granted benefactions to the church and privileges to towns, and became known as the protector of the peasants and as a fearless military leader. He was succeeded on the throne by his son Louis VII.

Louis VII, called The Young (1121?-80), king of France (1137-80), son and successor of Louis VI. In the first year of his reign he married Eleanor of Aquitaine, daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine. Louis soon aroused the opposition of Pope Innocent II because of his support of a rival to the papal candidate for the archbishopric of Bourges, and his lands were placed under papal interdict. Louis next fought a 2-year war and conquered Champagne in 1144. In 1147 he joined the unsuccessful Second Crusade as one of its two chief military leaders (the other was Conrad III of Germany). Louis returned to France two years later, and in 1152 his marriage to Eleanor was annulled; in the same year she married Henry of Anjou, later Henry II, king of England. Louis warred with Henry for the possession of Aquitaine but renounced all rights to the duchy in 1154, the year Henry became king of England. Between 1157 and 1180 Louis continued sporadic warfare against Henry, who held many of the French provinces. Louis was succeeded by his son Philip II (Philip Augustus).

First ruler to consolidate Slavic tribes was Rurik, leader of the Russians who established himself at Novgorod, ad 862. He and his immediate successors had Scandinavian affiliations. They moved to Kiev after 972 and ruled as Dukes of Kiev. In 988 Vladimir was converted and adopted the Byzantine Greek Orthodox service, later modified by Slav influences. Important as organizer and lawgiver was Yaroslav, 1019-1054, whose daughters married kings of Norway, Hungary, and France. His grandson, Vladimir II (Monomakh), 1113-1125, was progenitor of several rulers, but in 1169 Andrew Bogolubski overthrew Kiev and began the line known as Grand Dukes of Vladimir.

Born in Kyyiv, Vladimir was a pagan at the beginning of his reign, which was at first devoted to consolidating his territories into a unified Russian state. In exchange for helping the Byzantine emperor Basil II suppress a rebellion, Vladimir was allowed to marry the emperor's sister, Anne, at which time (988) he accepted Christianity. Allied to Byzantium by religious and family ties, Vladimir introduced Byzantine civilization into Russia by building churches, suppressing paganism, and making social reforms. Nonetheless, he remained open to Western influences, which are reflected in his legislation.

Son of Poland's King Mieszko II, Kazimierz succeeded his father in 1034 but was deposed by a rebellion of the nobles in 1037. The following year he returned to power as duke of Poland with the support of Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II, whom he then recognized as his overlord, as well as Henry III of Germany. Allying himself with Yaroslav the Wise, ruler of the Russian state of Kyyiv, he subjected the Polish tribes to his rule and drove the Czechs from Silesia. His successor, Boleslaw II, reassumed the royal title.

Edward II (1284-1327), king of England (1307-1327). Edward was born in Caernarvon, Wales. In 1301 he was proclaimed Prince of Wales, the first heir apparent in English history to bear that title. When Edward became king in 1307, the English nobles quarreled with his friend Piers Gaveston. In 1311 the barons, led by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, forced the king to create a committee of nobles, called the lords ordainers. They transferred the ruling power to themselves, excluded the commons and lower clergy from Parliament, and had Gaveston kidnapped and executed.
In the meantime, Edward was at war with Scottish king Robert Bruce. After Edward's 1314 defeat, the Earl of Lancaster virtually ruled the kingdom for eight years. In 1322, with the help of the baron Hugh le Despenser, and his son, also Hugh le Despenser, Edward defeated Lancaster in battle. The le Despensers became de facto rulers of England. Edward's wife, Queen Isabella, wanted to depose the le Despensers, and she traveled to France and allied herself with some exiled English barons. In 1326 they raised an army and invaded England. Edward was imprisoned, forced to resign, and then murdered by his captors.

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.

Philip II (of France) (1165-1223), king of France (1180-1223), one of the most powerful European monarchs of the Middle Ages. Philip was born near Paris. From 1181 to 1186 Philip combated a coalition of barons in Flanders, Burgundy, and Champagne and at their expense increased the royal domain. He later fought the English kings Richard I and John I over control of French territories ruled by the English kings. A coalition of European powers challenged the growing power of France in 1214, but Philip's forces decisively defeated the coalition at the Battle of Bouvines, establishing France as a leading country of Europe. Philip increased royal power by extending the royal domain and by reducing the power of the feudal lords. France prospered from his reorganization of the government. Philip established Paris as the fixed capital of France, paved its streets, and had many new buildings constructed in the city.

Louis VII, called The Young (1121?-80), king of France (1137-80), son and successor of Louis VI. In the first year of his reign he married Eleanor of Aquitaine, daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine. Louis soon aroused the opposition of Pope Innocent II because of his support of a rival to the papal candidate for the archbishopric of Bourges, and his lands were placed under papal interdict. Louis next fought a 2-year war and conquered Champagne in 1144. In 1147 he joined the unsuccessful Second Crusade as one of its two chief military leaders (the other was Conrad III of Germany). Louis returned to France two years later, and in 1152 his marriage to Eleanor was annulled; in the same year she married Henry of Anjou, later Henry II, king of England. Louis warred with Henry for the possession of Aquitaine but renounced all rights to the duchy in 1154, the year Henry became king of England. Between 1157 and 1180 Louis continued sporadic warfare against Henry, who held many of the French provinces. Louis was succeeded by his son Philip II (Philip Augustus).

He was born in Goslar, Germany. A struggle with Pope Gregory VII over the authority to appoint church officials culminated in Henry declaring the pope deposed in 1076. Pope Gregory then excommunicated him. When the nobles threatened not to recognize Henry unless he secured absolution, Henry did penance and obtained readmission to the church.
The German nobles, however, elected Rudolf, Duke of Swabia, to replace Henry. This election caused a civil war. In 1080 the pope recognized the kingship of Rudolf and again excommunicated Henry, who declared Pope Gregory deposed and recognized Pope Clement III in his stead. Rudolf was killed in 1080, and Henry regained control of Germany. In 1084 he captured Rome, where he was crowned emperor by Clement III. A Norman army then drove Henry from Rome. In 1105 Henry was taken prisoner by his son, later Emperor Henry V, and forced to abdicate.

When, in 1041, the Bohemians invaded the lands of the Poles, who were Henry's vassals, Henry brought them to submission, compelling the duke of Bohemia to recognize his suzerainty. Between 1043 and 1045 Henry campaigned successfully to restore the deposed Hungarian king to his throne and for a short time afterward controlled Hungary. Henry was greatly concerned with church reform and went to Rome in 1046 to settle the conflict caused by three rival claimants to the papacy. Setting aside the three antipopes, he appointed a German bishop, who, as Pope Clement II, crowned Henry Holy Roman emperor. During the rest of his reign Henry appointed three succeeding popes, all Germans. Returning to Germany, he contended with domestic rebellions. Henry supported the church's attempts to check clerical abuses; he also strengthened the power of the papacy, which proved disadvantageous for his son, Henry IV.

Before his election as emperor, Conrad was duke of Franconia. When Henry II, the last of the Saxon emperors, died in 1024, Conrad was chosen to succeed him as king of the Germans. Conrad was crowned Holy Roman emperor by the pope in 1027. Before his coronation he suppressed rebellions in northern Italy, and in 1026 he was crowned king of the Lombards. During his reign the boundaries of the empire were increased by his inheritance of the kingdom of Burgundy from its last ruler, Rudolf III. Conrad died while trying to suppress a second rebellion in northern Italy. He transmitted his power to his son, who became emperor as Henry III.

Otto remained in Rome until his death, striving to make the city the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and to restore many of the customs of the ancient Roman Empire.

His father, King Ferdinand I of Castile and León, died in 1065 and left his kingdom, divided into three parts, to his three sons. Alfonso received only León, but he succeeded to nearly all his father's dominions as a result of a war with his brothers, and he also added Toledo and New Castile to his holdings. In 1086 the Abbadids of Seville, with Almoravid help, defeated him at Zalaca and stopped the gradual reconquest of Spain by the Christian rulers. Alfonso regained some of his power, but in 1108, a year before his death, the Almoravids defeated him again and killed his only son.

Ferdinand married Sancha, the sister of Bermudo III, king of León, and heiress to the throne of León. In 1037 Ferdinand defeated Bermudo in a battle at Tamaron, acquiring León through Sancha's right of succession. Ferdinand won the Battle of Atapuerca over his brother in 1054 and was recognized as the emperor of Spain in 1056. By his territorial acquisitions from the Moors between 1058 and 1065, Ferdinand inaugurated the period of Christian reconquest of Spanish land from the Muslims. Before his death Ferdinand provided that his estates be divided among his three sons, thus bequeathing a legacy of fratricidal strife that did not end until the accession of Alfonso I to the throne of Castile in 1072.

He ruled all Gaul beyond the Loire and Rhône rivers 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.

Note: byname SANCHO THE GREAT, Spanish SANCHO EL MAYOR, OR EL GRANDE,king of Pamplona (Navarre) from about 1000 to 1035, the son ofGarc¡a II (or III).
Sancho established Navarrese hegemony over all the Christianstates of Spain at a time when the caliphate of C¢rdoba was in a state of turmoil. Sancho was uninterested in a crusade againstthe Moors, but he was interested in the expansion of Pamplona,which he began by the seizure of the ancient Frankish countiesof Sobrarbe and Ribagorza (1016-19). A skilled politician,Sancho pursued his aims more by subversion than by force of arms. He persuaded the Count of Barcelona, Berenguer Ram¢n I, to accept him as overlord. Gascony did likewise, giving him direct sovereignty over Labourd. As a consequence of his marriage(1010) to Munia, daughter of Count Sancho Garc¡a (d. 1017) of Castile, Sancho secured his own acceptance as count when Sancho Garc¡a's son, the child Count Garc¡a, was assassinated (1029).He then took up Castilian irredentist claims in eastern Leon andoccupied the Leonese capital, where he was crowned(1034)--taking the imperial title. Sancho, who introduced some feudal practices into his new dominions, also encouraged theCluniac reformers and established much closer contacts generallybetween Christian Spain and trans-Pyrenean Europe. In his will,however, he deliberately destroyed the empire he had created: hedivided it into four kingdoms and left these to his four sons,thus making inevitable the fratricidal wars that followed hisdeath. Sancho created the kingdom of Aragon and was responsible for the elevation of Castile from county to kingdom, though hetransferred some Castilian territory to Pamplona, which he left to his eldest son, Garc¡a III (or IV). ~0995 - 1067 Munia Mayor 72 72 ~0955 - 1000 Garcia II 'El Trembloso' 45 45 ~0960 Chimine Ximena ~0910 - 0994 II Sancho 84 84 0935 Urraca Fernandez ~0835 Bertha De Toulouse ~1159 Dulce Aldonza of Barcelona ~0887 - >0970 Tota of Aragon 83 83 ~0854 Aznarius Sanchez ~1144 Ramon Berenger De Barcelona ~1161 Prince of Aragaon Sancho 1135 - 1173 Petronella Ramirez of Aragon 38 38 ~1024 - 1054 III Garcia 30 30 1080 - 1131 Raimund Berenguer 50 50 ~0997 - 1029 Garcia Sanchez 32 32 ~1010 King of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza Gonzalo ~1040 Sancho IV Garces 0878 - 0930 Garcia Diaz Valdez 52 52 ~0919 - 0970 Garcia III Sanchez 51 51 ~1055 - >1107 Gilbert de Milhaud 52 52 ~1100 - 1154 II Roger 54 54 Ximena Ximeno Nunila Ximena ~0824 - ~0875 II Sancho 51 51 ~1094 - 1147 Ramiro II Sanchez 'the Monk' 53 53 ~0794 - ~0872 I Sancho 78 78 ~1053 - 1094 Sancho V Ramirez 41 41 I Alfonso Marie ~1095 - 1190 Dulce Aldonza de Milhaud 95 95 0965 - 1004 Jimena Fernandez 39 39 ~1057 Countess of Provence Gerberge ~1033 - >1095 Stephanie Dulcia of Marselle 62 62 ~0995 Count of Marselle Bertrand ~1029 - >1073 Berenger De Milhaud 44 44 ~1031 Viscountess De Carlat Adyle ~1005 II Gilbert ~0985 I Gilbert ~1003 - <1051 Richard II De Milhaud 48 48 ~1005 Rixinde De Narbonne ~0979 - 1066 I Berenger 87 87 ~0981 Garsinde De Bezalu ~1008 Bernard De Narbonne ~0955 Bernard Taillifer ~0977 - >1049 Richard I De Milhaud 72 72 ~0979 Senegonde Bezieres ~0953 William Bezieres ~1055 Raimund Berenguer ~1055 Mathilda Maud D' Apulia 1020 Arnal Mir De Pallars ~1030 - 1089 Sichelgaita of Salerno 59 59 Sybille de Hauteville ~1000 - 1052 V Guaimar 52 52 ~0970 - 1027 IV Guaimar 57 57 ~0975 Gatelgrima of Capua Pandulph IV of Salerno ~0945 - 1014 III Pandulph 69 69 ~0915 - 0968 V Landulph 53 53 VI Landulph ~0885 - 0961 IV Landulph 76 76 ~0860 - 0943 III Landulph 83 83 ~0865 - 0961 Gemma of Naples 96 96 ~0840 - 0900 II Athanasius 60 60 ~0815 - 0866 Duke of Naples Gregory 51 51 ~0790 - 0862 I Sergius 72 72 ~0835 - 0910 I Atenulph 75 75 ~0840 Sichelgaita of Gaeta ~0880 - ~0910 I Guimar 30 30 ~0810 II Landulph ~0780 I Landulph Cleogia di Capua ~0940 - ~0974 III Guaimar 34 34 ~0910 II Guaimar ~0910 Gatelgrima of Capua ~0870 Duke of Capua Atonalph ~0885 Yota of Italy ~0855 - 0894 Holy Roman Emperor Guido 39 39 Political Events, 891

Henry III (of England) (1207-1272), king of England (1216-1272) and a member of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at the age of nine, on the death of his father, King John (Lackland).
In 1232 Henry commenced ruling without the aid of ministers. He displeased the barons by filling government and church offices with foreign favorites and by squandering money on Continental wars. In 1258 he was forced to accept the Provisions of Oxford, whereby he agreed to share his power with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however, and the struggle for power culminated in 1265 when Henry's son and heir, Edward, later King Edward I, led the royal troops to victory over the barons at Evesham. The barons agreed to a compromise with Edward, and from 1267 Edward ruled England. When Henry died, Edward succeeded him as king.

1167?-1216
King of England (1199-1216). The youngest son of Henry II, he schemed against his father and his brother Richard I. During his reign, the English lost most of their possessions in France. The nobility rose against John and forced him to sign the Magna Carta (June 15, 1215), a cornerstone of English freedom.

His reign saw renewal of war with Phillip II Augustus of France to whom he lost several continental possesions including Normandy by 1205. He came into conflict with his Barons and was forced to Sign the Magna Carta. His later repudiation of the charter led to the first barons war 1215-17 during which John died. Burke says he was born in 1160. John 'Lackland' King Of England was known as one of England's worst kings; however, modern analysis notes he was actually much better than his infamous reputation allows. His barons forced him to grant the famous charter of liberties, Magna Carta, in 1215. He was often cruel, but he showed both administrative and military ability. John succeeded his brother Richard the Lion-Hearted as king of England and duke of Normandy in 1199. His rule began badly. By inept politics and the murder of his nephew Arthur, he lost the allegiance of many of his French barons. King Philip Augustus of France then declared war. In 1205 John was beaten, and lost all the English holdings in France except Aquitaine. John persued a policy in England that brought him into conflict with Pope Innocent III. In 1208 the pope placed England under an interdict, which banned church services. The following year John was excommunicated. The king then showed his capacity for strong rule. He forced Scotland into a subordinate position, kept the Welsh princes in check, and held a firm grip on Ireland. But his foreign favorites, professional troops, and autocratic financial policy stirred up discontent among the English barons. When John failed to reconquer the lost French territories in 1214, most of the barons and many of the clergy revolted. On June 15, 1215, the king was forced to approve the Magna Carta at Runnymede meadow beside the River Thames.
A few months later, John fought the barons. They were aided by Prince Louis of France, heir to Philip Augustus, and appeared certain to win. But John penned his enemies in London and the adjacent counties. He died suddenly in 1216, but his throne was saved for his son, Henry III.

Political Events, 1215

The Magna Carta signed at Runnymede in mid-June limits the power of the English monarchy. Feudal barons supported by Scotland's new king Alexander II meet with England's John Lackland between Staines and Windsor and exact major concessions reaffirming traditional feudal privileges contained in the accession charter signed by Henry I a century ago. John immediately appeals to Pope Innocent III, who issues a bull annulling the charter. John imports foreign mercenaries to fight the barons, but the Magna Carta will remain the basis of English feudal justice.

Political Events, 1216

England's John Lackland comes down with dysentery in October after crushing resistance in the north. He crosses the Wash and reaches Newark Castle but dies there October 19 at age 38. The king is succeeded by his 9-year-old son, who will reign until 1272 as Henry III; the earl of Pembroke William Marshal serves as regent, and the moderate party takes control, thus ending the need for opposition to royal authority.

becoming overlord of all of Welch princes.

In Gwynedd, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth had come to power in the classic way of Welsh princes bedeviled by the dividing rule of Welsh inheritance - he seized it from his uncle. He proved to be the greatest and most constructive Welsh statesman of the Middle Ages. In his long career he succeeded, by constant warfare, by tactful yielding under pressure and by masterly resilience the moment that pressure was relieved, in bringing under his control most of Pura Wallia.  When he died in 1240, full of honor and glory, he left a principality which had the possibility of expanding into a truly national state of Wales. There was a moment when an independent Wales seemed about to become a reality.

Llywelyn deliberately set out on a policy of reconstructing the whole basis of Welsh political life, and not every Welshman was happy about it. Llywelyn lived in an age which saw the emergence of the centralized feudal state. Both France and England presented the spectacle of societies elaborating their administrative machinery, putting their taxation on a new and sounder footing and systematizing their codes of justice, but Llywelyn's principality was small and lacking resources. Hostile English observers could wax satirical about its pretensions to international status.

Gwynedd had always been the core of the power of the princes, and the expansion of Llywelyn's territory gave him the ability to do many things beyond the power of previous Welsh rulers. We find Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (the Great) and Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (the Last) developing castle building on a considerable scale. The remains of Castell y Bere or of Ewloe, Dolbadarn and Dolwyddelan even show distinctive Welsh style. The princes gave charters to the small towns growing in their domains. They supported the abbeys and the friaries. We sense a new Wales coming into being, and, at the moment, it was basically an independent Wales. The great question was, would this new Wales be able to develop to its full potential without interference from without or protests from within? Looming over it was the king of England.

For over all this hung the vexing yet vital question of the exact terms of Llywelyn's homage to the king. The king was always acknowledged as being at the head of the pyramid and by the 13th century Welsh rulers also accepted the principle that homage should be paid to the King of England. Hywel Dda had done do, far back in the 10th century, and both Owain Gwynedd and the Lord Rhys had done homage to Henry II. The problem was that Llywelyn claimed that the status in relation to the King of England was the same enjoyed by the King of Scotland - that barons were to pay their homage directly to him and not the king, but King John took a different view. He felt that the barons should also do their homage to him. This gave him the right of continual interference in Welsh affairs. At times the relationship between Llywelyn and the king were mutually supportive, in part because Llywelyn managed to marry Joan, the illegitimate daughter of King John, in 1205. But even this family tie soon broke down over the question of homage and disputed territories.

When the Welsh princes were strong they could enforce a grudging acknowledgement of their position from the king. When they were weak, the king granted treaties firmly maintaining his view of homage. Llywelyn the Great had sought to solve the problem before his death. He had two sons, Gruffydd by a Welsh lady and the younger, David, by his wife Joan. Welsh law at the time said that both sons should inherit - a law which had been the cause of so many of those disputed successions which had brought ruin to Wales in the past. Llywelyn made a bold and successful attempt to put this dangerous Welsh law aside in favor of the English system, and finally got the consent of King Henry III - or his advisors - to agree to the succession of David as his sole heir. Then, shortly before his death, he called all the princes of Wales together at Strata Florida Abbey in 1238 and made them swear allegiance to David. Henry III allowed him to succeed, but refused David the direct homage of the barons, eventually leading to war between the king and the new Welsh prince. David and his forces had no change against Henry's large army and withdrew. David died childless shortly thereafter, and it would be up to Llywelyn's grandson, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, to assert Wales' independence once again.

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.

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.

Edward was born at Windsor, the older son of King Edward II. He was proclaimed king after his father was forced to abdicate in 1327. Before Edward came of age, power resided with his mother, Isabella of France, and her lover, Roger de Mortimer. In 1330 the young king had Mortimer hanged and confined his mother to her home.
In 1333 Edward battled and defeated the Scots. In 1337 France came to Scotland's aid, and Edward declared war on France. The English armies had numerous successes, culminating in the Peace of Calais, which in 1360 gave England all of Aquitaine; in return, Edward renounced his claim to the French throne, which he had first made in 1328. In 1366 Edward renewed the war with France, disavowing the Peace of Calais. This time, however, the English armies were unsuccessful. After the truce of 1375, Edward retained few of his previously vast possessions in France. Edward was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II.

Edward III (1312-77), King of England (1327-77). " Evil be to him who evil thinks." Quoted in: Polydore Vergil, Anglicae Historiae. Alleged remark at the falling of the Countess of Salisbury's garter, presumably when the order of Garter was founded in 1344: no contemporary evidence whatsoever, but the traditional tale was current in Henry VIII's reign.

EDWARD III was born Nov. 13, 1312, at Windsor Castle, and was the eldest son of Edward II and Isabella, dau. of Phillip IV, of France. His mother's life was stained with the foulest crimes and his father's death was revenged by the perpetual imprisonment of Isabella, and the public execution of her paramour, Mortimer. On the 29th of January, 1327, he was crowned King of England. Edward would not accept the crown without his father's consent which was obtained five days before the coronation. He was m. at York on the 24th of January, 1328, to Philippa, dau. of the Count of Hainault. Edward's mother and the Countess of Hainault were grandchildren of Philip III of France. The times in which Edward lived, the circumstances under which he was placed, the influences brought to bear on his conduct, conspired to make his life restless and turbulent. To meet the demands thrown on him, he had to exert to the utmost all the energy of mind that he possessed and his whole life was of continual strife. As a legislator he was shrewd and magnanimous and as a general on the field of battle he was vigilant and courageous and he was successful in many of the conflicts which gave glory to the English arms. Conquerors, though usually the bane of human kind, proved often in these feudal times, the most indulgent of sovereigns. They stood most in need of supplies, and not being always able to compel the people by force to submit to the necessary impositions, they were obliged to compensate them by equitable laws and popular concessions. Edward took no steps of moment without consulting his parliament, and generally obtained their approbation and support for his measures.

The parliament, therefore, rose into greater consideration during his reign, and acquired a more regular authority than in any former time; and even the House of Commons, which, during turbulent and factious periods, was naturally oppressed by the greater power of the crown and barons began to appear of some weight in the constitution. In the later years of Edward, the King's ministers were impeached in parliament and fell a sacrifice to their authority. Some attention was paid to the elections of their members; and lawyers, who were, at that time, men of very interior character, were totally excluded from the House during several parliaments. One of the most popular laws, enacted by any prince, was the statute, which passed in the twenty-fifth year of his reign, and which limited the cases of high treason, before vague and uncertain, to three principal heads: (1) the conspiring of the death of the King. (2) the levying war against him and (3) the adhering to his enemies. The Judges were prohibited, if any other cares should occur, from inflicting the penalty of treason, without application to parliament. Edward granted above twenty parliamentary confirmations of the Magna Charla; and these concessions are commonly appealed to as proof of the great indulgence to the people, and his tender regard for their liberties. But the contrary presumption is much more naturai.

If the maxims of Edward's reign had not been, in general, somewhat arbitrary, and if the great charter had not been frequently violated, the parliament would never have applied for these frequent conformations which could add no force to a deed regularly observed, and which could serve no other purpose than to prevent the contrary precedents from turning into a rule and acquiring authority. It was the effect of the irregular government during those ages, that a statute, which had been enacted some years, instead of acquiring, was imagined to loose force by time, and needed to be often renewed by subsequent statutes of the same sense and tener. The frequent confirmations in general terms of the churches' privileges proceeded from the same cause and all would appear ridiculous if we did not consider the circumstances of the times. It is a clause in one of Edward's statutes, "that no man of what estate of condition secver, shall be put out of land or tenement, nor taken, nor imprisoned, nor disherited, nor put to death without being brought in answer by due process of the law." This privilege was sufficiently secured by a clause of the Great Charter, which had received a general confirmation in the first chapter of the same statute. Why this clause? Plainly because there had been some late infringement of it which gave ?? umbrage to the Commons. But there is no article, in which the laws are more frequently repeated during the reign, almost in the same terms, than those of purveyance, which the parliament always termed an outragrous and intolerable grievance, and the source of infinite damage to the people. The parliament tried to abolish the prerogative altogether by prohibiting any one to take goods without the consent of the owners, and by changing the name of the purveyors, as they call it, into that of buyers, but the arbitrary conduct of Edward still brought back the grievance upon them, namely, that it was contrary to the Great Charter and to many statutes.

The disorder was in a great measure derived from the state of the public finances and could, therefore, the less admit of any remedy. The prince frequently wanted ready money, yet his family must be provided for and so was frequently obliged to employ force and violence for that purpose, and to give tallies, at what rate he pleased to the owners of the goods which he took into his possession. The kingdom abounded so little in commodities, that had the owners been strictly protected by law, they could easily have exacted any price from the King. Especially in his frequent exploits, when he came to distant and poor places, where the Court did not usually reside, and where a regular plan for supplying it could not be easily established. There was no act of arbitrary power more frequently repeated in this reign, than that of the imposition of taxes without the consent of parliament. Though that assembly granted the King more supplies than had ever been obtained by any of his predecessors, the great undertakings of the King and the necessity of his affairs obliged him to levy still more, and his great success against France added still more weight to his authority. These tax impositions came frequently in spite of the opposition of the Commons. The continual remonstrances of the Commons, however unavailing, served to prevent the arbitrary practices of the court from becoming an established part of the constitution. It is easy to imagine that a prince of so much sense and spirit as Edward would be no slave to the Court of Rome.

Though the old tribute was paid during the years of his minority, he afterwards with-held it, and when the Pope in 1367 threatened to cite him to the Court of Rome for default of payment, he laid the matter before his parliament. That assembly unanimously declared, that King John could not, without a national consent, subject his Kingdom to a foreign power against the exorbitant pretention. During Edward's reign, the statute of provisors was enacted, rendering it penal to procure any presentations to beneficies from the Court of Rome, and securing the rights of all patrons and electors, which had been extremely encroached on by the Pope. By a subsequent statute, every person was outlawed who carried any cause or appeal to Rome. The laity at this time seem to have been extremely prejudiced against the papal power, and even somewhat against their own clergy, because of their own connection with the Roman pontiff. They pretended that the usurpations of the Pope were the cause of all the plagues, injuries, famine; and poverty of the realm; was more destructive to them than all the wars, and was the cause why it contained not a third of the inhabitants and commodities, which it formerly possessed; that the taxes levied by him exceeded five times those paid to the King; that everything was venal in that sinful city of Rome; and that even the patrons in England had thence learned to practice simony without remorse or scrupple. They petitioned the King to employ no Churchman in any office of state, and they even spoke, in plain terms, of expelling by force the papal authority, and thereby providing a remedy against oppression which they neither could nor would any longer endure.

Men who talked in this strain were not far from the Reformation. But Edward did not think it proper to second all this zeal. Though he passed the statute of provisors, he took little care with its execution, and the parliament made frequent complaints of his negligence. He was content with having reduced such of the Romish ecclesiastics, who possessed revenues in England, to depend entirely on him by means of that statute. As to the police of the Kingdom, during this period it was still bad but certainly better than during the time of faction, civil war, and disorder, to which England was so often exposed. Yet there were several vices in the constitution, the bad consequences of which all the power and vigilance of the King could not prevent. The barons, by their confederacies with those of their own order, and by supporting and defending their retainers in every iniquity, were the chief abettors of robbers, murderers and ruffians of all kinds, so law could not be executed against their criminals. The nobility were brought to give their promise in parliament, that they would not avow, retain or support any felon or breaker of the law; yet this engagement was never regarded by them.

Commerce and industry were certainly at a very low ebb during this period. The bad police of the country alone affords a sufficient reason. The only exports were wool, skins, hide, leather, butter, tin, lead and such unmanufactured goods of which wool was by far the most considerable. Edward endeavored to introduce and promote the woolen manufacture by giving protection and encouragement to foreign weavers, and by enacting a law, prohibiting everyone to wear any cloth but of English make. The parliament prohibited the exportation of woolen goods, which was not so well judged, especially while the exportation of unwrought wool was made against the exportation of iron. The staple of wool, leather and lead was fixed by act of parliament in particular towns in England. But Edward, who commonly deemed his prerogative superior to law, paid little attention to the statutes, and when parliament remonstrated with him, on account of such acts of power, he told them, plainly, that he would proceed in the matter as he thought proper. There is not a reign among those of ancient English monarchs, which is more interesting than that of King Edward III, nor one where the domestic transactions will better discover the true genius of that kind of mixed government which was then established in England. Edward was a prince of great capacity, not governed by favorites, nor led astray by any unruly passion, sensible that nothing could be more effectual to his interests than to keep on good terms with his people. It appears, however, that the government, at best, was only a barbarous monarchy, not regulated by any fixed maxims, nor bound by any certain undisputed rights, which were in practice regularly observed. The King conducted himself by one set of principles and the barons by another; the Commons by a third and the Clergy by a fourth. All these systems of government were contrary and incompatible. Each of them prevailed according as incidents were favorable to it.

A great Prince rendered the monarchical power predominant, the weakness of a King gave reins to the aristocracy; a superstitious age saw the clergy triumphant and the people, for whom alone government was instituted, and who alone deserve consideration, were commonly the weakest of the whole. However the Commons, little obnoxious to any other order, though they sunk under the violence of the tempests, silently raised their head in more peaceful times, and while the storm was brewing, were courted by all sides, and thus received some accession to their privileges or some conformation of them.

Edward III died on the 21st of June, 1376, and was buried in Westminster Abbey near the body of his Queen, Philippa of Hainault.

In 1053 Harold succeeded his father, Godwin, as Earl of Wessex, becoming chief minister to King Edward the Confessor and the most powerful man in the realm. After a revolt against Harold's brother Tostig, Earl of Northumbria, Harold banished Tostig.
Upon the death of King Edward, Harold was crowned king of England. William, Duke of Normandy, immediately asserted his claim to the throne, which was supported by Tostig and Harold III of Norway. Tostig and his Norwegian ally were routed by the English forces in September 1066. William then defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066. Harold was killed, and William, thereafter called The Conqueror, became ruler of England as King William I. His conquest marks the beginning of Norman England.

Alexius I Comnenus (1048-1118), Byzantine emperor (1081-1118). Coming to the throne at a time when the Byzantine Empire was threatened by foreign enemies on every side, Alexius began his reign by combining with the Venetians to resist Norman invaders led by Robert Guiscard in Greece. In 1091 he defeated the Pechenegs, a Turkic tribe raiding the empire from the north; in the same year he stabilized the situation in the east by concluding a treaty with the Seljuk Turks. In 1095 Alexius appealed to Pope Urban II for help in recovering Anatolia from the Seljuks, thus helping to inspire the First Crusade. He exacted an oath of allegiance from the Crusade's leaders (among them, Bohemond, the son of his old enemy Robert Guiscard) when they arrived in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) the following year. With their help, he regained control of western Anatolia, but he failed to prevent them from establishing independent states in Syria and Palestine. A dispute with Bohemond over the lordship of Antioch ended when the Norman acknowledged Alexius as his overlord in 1108. Alexius's biography, the Alexiad, was written by his daughter, Anna Comnena. It is considered a valuable source of historical information.

He was born in Waiblingen, the nephew of King Conrad III of Germany. After the death of his uncle in 1152, Frederick Barbarossa was made German king and elected Holy Roman emperor.
From the 1150s to the 1170s Frederick was occupied with asserting his power in Italy. He fought with popes Adrian IV and Alexander III, and also with the Lombards. The Lombard League, consisting of the cities of Milan, Parma, Padua, Verona, Piacenza, Bologna, Cremona, Mantua, Bergamo, and Brescia, was formed in 1167 and acknowledged Pope Alexander as its leader. In 1176 Frederick was defeated by the Lombard League at Legnano. The defeat was significant in military history because it was the first major triumph of infantry over a mounted army of feudal knights. After the defeat, Frederick acceded to the demands of the Lombards for autonomy but retained imperial suzerainty over the towns.
Meanwhile, Frederick made Poland tributary to the Holy Roman Empire, raised Bohemia to the rank of a kingdom, and made Austria into an independent hereditary duchy. He also consolidated his power in Germany. Frederick initiated the Third Crusade in 1189, and the next year he set out for Asia Minor. After gaining two victories over the Muslims, he was drowned in the Calycadnus (now Göksu) River in Cilicia (now in Turkey).

A Viking (full name Olaf Haraldsson), he was converted to Christianity in Rouen, Normandy, in the service of the exiled King Ethelred II of England. He returned to Norway in 1015 and, as a descendant of King Harold I, quickly won recognition, displacing the ruling earls. He introduced a strong central administration, completed the conversion of the Norwegians begun by Olaf I, and built churches throughout the land. Many local chieftains, alienated by Olaf's domineering ways, sided with Canute II, king of Denmark and England, when he invaded Norway in 1028; Olaf was compelled to take refuge with his brother-in-law, Grand Duke Yaroslav of Novgorod. Returning with a force to Norway in 1030, he was defeated by a peasant army and killed at the Battle of Stiklestad. Olaf was subsequently worshiped as Norway's patron saint and was canonized in 1164. He was also revered throughout Scandinavia and in England, Germany, and the Baltic countries. His feast day is July 29.

He was created Earl of Hertford about 1136 for his miltary services, and being one of those who lived by the power of his sword, entered Wales, there planted himself and became lord of vast territories, but was finally slain in a skirmish with a few Welsh noblemen on April 15, 1136. He married Alice, daughter of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, who died in 1128, and married Lucia, daughter of Algar, Earl of Mercia, son of Leofric and "Lady Godiva." His lordship died 1139 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Gilbert, 2nd Earl of Hertford, who died in 1151, and having no issue was succeeded by his brother, Roger de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford. ~1094 - 1136 Adeliza de Meschines De Gernon 42 42 ~1110 - 1151 Gilbert De Clare 41 41 ~1010 Richard FitzGerold ~1120 Richard De Clare ~1124 Rohesia De Clare ~1132 Agnes de Clare ~1074 - 1136 Lucia Taillebois 62 62 ~1175 Joan de Clare ~1134 Baldwin de Clare ~1102 Agnes de Meschines 1160 - 24 FEB 1240/41 Walter De Lacy 1140 Elaine De Lacy 1143 Alice De Lacy 1136 Hugh De Lacy 1148 Robert De Lacy 1150 Gilbert De Lacy Rhodesia fitz Baderon ~1085 - >1163 Ilbert de Lacy 78 78 ~1105 - >1176 Alice de Gaunt 71 71 Robert De Lacy Henry De Lacy ~1077 Maud Matilda of Brittany ~1119 - 1180 Roger de Mowbray 61 61 Roger de Mowbray, 1st Baron by tenure, eldest son, who succeeding to the lands of Mumbrey or Mowbray, became known by the surname Mowbray. In 1148 he accompanied Louis VII, King of France, to the Holy Land and acquired great renown. On a subsequent journey to the Holy Land he was captured, but was redeemed by the Knight Templars. Dying soon after in the East, he was buried at Sures. He married Alice, daughter of Gilbert, Baron de Gant, or Gaunt, and his wife Richildis, Countess of Hainault and Namur, great-granddaughter of King Hugh Capet of France.

Roger de Mowbray, once a principal proprietor and resident of Kilburn, was a descendant of the first Duke of Northumberland, who was the
bow-bearer of William the Conqueror.  At Hode, within the limits of the parish of Kilburn, the famous Roger de Mowbray established a church, priory and castle, in 1138. During the Crusades, Mowbray fought in the Holy Land, and was taken prisoner by Guy, King of Jerusalem, but was redeemed by the Knights Templars. On his return to England, he is said by Dugdale to have "fought with dragons and lions in the valley of Sarranell," and then to have returned to his castle at Kilburn. He was buried at Byland Abbey, where, in 1819, his bones were discovered and re-interred after a repose of between six and seven hundred years. ~1144 - 1191 Nigel de Mowbray 47 47 Nigel de Mowbray, 2nd Baron by tenure, like his father, was a Crusader and died on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1192-3.

1064 Morough O'Brien 89 89 0941 - 1014 Brian Boroimhe 73 73 Brian Boru, High King of Ireland

Brian Boru or Brian Boroimhe (940?–1014), clan prince, succeeded his brother Mathghamhain, who had seized the throne of Munster from the Eogharacht rulers (963). The Battle of Bealach Leachta, in 978, marked the first major defeat of the Danes in Ireland and established Brian Boru as a serious contender for position of Ard Rí (High King) of Ireland.

Brian subjugated all Munster, then extended his power over all S Ireland, and in 1002 became high king of Ireland by right of conquest.
The battle was the climax of a power-struggle between the Dál gCais of North Munster and the Lords of Carbery. Mahon of the Dál gCais was captured by Imar, a Limerick Dane who was allied to the O'Donovans and O'Mahonys of Carbery. Imar delivered Mahon, a brother of Brian Boru of Kincora, into the hands of Maolmuidh of the O'Mahonys, who killed him at Aghabullogue.

Brian Boru came seeking revenge, first despatching Imar the Dane, then picking off O'Donovan, and then meeting the O'Mahonys at Bealach Leachta. A fierce battle was waged all day on the riverside plain. Brian's army had swelled as many minor chieftains began to recognise his potential, and Maolmuidh had the support of the remains of the O'Donovan clan and 1500 Danes.

Maolmuidh and his troops were forced back, and Maolmuidh took refuge at Leacha Dubh (present site of Macroom Golf Course), where he was found and killed. Fulfilling a curse put on him for the assassination of Mahon, Maolmuidh is buried on the north side of the hill, where the sun never shines, under a harsh wind. Three standing stones were erected on the site of the battle (of which two remain). One is known as Leacht Mahon.

Following the battle Brian Boru was crowned King of Munster. Brian took over all Munster, then extended his power over all Southern Ireland, and in 1002 became high king of Ireland by right of conquest.

As his power increased, relations with the Norse rulers on the Irish coast grew steadily worse. Sitric, king of the Dublin Norse, formed a coalition of the Norse of Ireland, the Hebrides, the Orkneys, and Iceland as well as Brian's Irish enemies against Brian. On Good Friday (Apr. 23), 1014, Brian's forces met and annihilated the allies at Clontarf, near Dublin. Soon afterward he was murdered in his tent. Brian's victory broke the Norse power in Ireland forever, but Ireland fell into anarchy. ~0950 King of Ireland Mael-Sechnaill ~0927 - 0981 Olaf Kvaaran 54 54 ~1047 Maredydd Powys ap Bleddyn ~0914 Pyll ~0977 Slani O'Brien ~0918 - 0927 King of Dublin and York Sigtryg 9 9 King of Limerick Harald ~0899 King of Dublin Guthorm ~0900 Lady of Northumberland ~0920 King of Dublin Ranald ~0860 King of Northumberland Ivar-Beinlaus ~0830 - 0875 Frotho Staelland 45 45 King of Limerick Sigtryggr ~0835 Asloga of the Huns Olaf 'The Young' ~0861 King of Dublin Godfrey ~0800 Horda Knut Sigurdsson ~0805 Alflild of Alfheim ~0885 Earl of Alfhein Ganda ~0855 Earl of Alfhein Alfgeir ~0770 - 0830 King of Denmark and Sweden Sigurd 60 60 ~0861 Fingal ~0791 Flathnia ~0831 Fingal ~0800 Lord of Connaught Awly ~0770 King of Connaught Canfaolo ~0863 - 0942 Lorean 79 79 ~0823 Lachna ~0783 Core ~0733 Anluan 0683 Maithan 0641 Turloch ~0611 King of Munster ~0925 King of Munster Mathghamhain ~0965 - 1006 Donchad Maolruinbo 41 41 ~0935 - 0989 King of Lienster Dermot 54 54 ~0905 - 0974 King of Lienster Donal 69 69 ~0885 - 0947 King of Leinster Caellach 62 62 ~0855 - 0935 King of Leinster Cinacth 80 80 ~0825 - 0876 King of Leinster Cairbre 51 51 ~0795 Dermot ~1105 - 1164 John "le Mareschal" fitz Gilbert 59 59 ~1144 John Mareschal ~1147 - >1243 Margaret Mareschal 96 96 ~1154 Anselm Mareschal ~1156 Henry Mareschal ~1109 Aline Pipard ~1131 Gilbert FitzJohn ~1133 Walter FitzJohn ~1096 - ~1130 Gilbert le Mareschal 34 34 ~1096 de Venuz ~1066 Geoffrey de Venuz ~1056 Geoffrey le Mareschal ~1036 Goisfried de Bec le Marshal ~1018 Rollo de Bec ~0968 Crispin de Bec ~0970 Heloise de Guines ~1008 Gilbert Crispin ~0884 Sigefred "the Dane" de Guisnes 1160 Rose de Halesworth ~0948 Prince of Monaco Grimald Crispina 1267 - 1326 Hugh De Audley 59 59 ~1275 - 1338 Isolte De Mortimer 63 63 ~1200 Marared ferch Llewelyn ~1270 Rosamond Clifford ~1252 - 1304 Edmund De Mortimer 52 52 ~1270 - 7 FEB 1332/33 Margaret Eleanor de Fiennes ~1307 - 1345 Maud De Mortimer 38 38 ~1286 - 1315 Maud De Mortimer 29 29 ~1245 - 1302 William II de Fiennes 57 57 1245 - 1302 Blanche de Brienne 57 57 1225 - 1296 Jean II de Brienne 71 71 1227 - >1265 Jeanne de Chateaudun 38 38 ~1195 - 1249 Geoffrey IV de Chateaudun 54 54 ~1195 - >1255 Clemence des Roches 60 60 ~1175 - 1222 Guillaume des Roches 47 47 ~1177 Marguerite de Sable Jeanne des Roches ~1147 - 1196 Robert IV de Sable 49 49 1150 Clemence de Mayenne ~1115 - 1161 Juhel II de Mayenne 46 46 ~1120 Etiennette de Dol ~1159 Geoffrey II de Mayenne 1050 - 1126 Gautier de Mayenne 76 76 ~1067 Alice de Beaugency ~1002 - 1084 Bertha de Blois 82 82 ~1040 Adelberge ~1030 - 1081 II Lancelin 51 51 1148 Juhel III de Mayenne ~1010 Paule De Maine ~0940 Wigerus II De Beaugency ~0980 - 1036 Comte de Maine Heribert 56 56 ~1012 Garsende De Maine ~0960 III Hugues ~1072 Maud Margaret 31 OCT 900 - ~0945 I Hugues ~0927 Melisende de Maine ~0929 Godehilde de Maine ~0990 - 1059 Geofroy II de Mayenne 69 69 ~1008 Almodie de Blois ~1004 - 1047 II Stephen 43 43 ~1001 Gervase de Chateau Gontier ~0915 - 0975 Thibaud II "le Tricheur" 60 60 ~0989 Eleanor de Blois ~0920 Geofroy I de Mayenne ~0962 Ivres de Belleme ~0930 de Bretagne ~0890 - ~0922 Aubert de Mayenne 32 32 ~0895 Melesinde de Mayenne ~0865 Ruellan de Mayenne ~0870 Auvert ~0835 - ~0872 1st Sire de Mayenne Meen 37 37 ~0860 Geslin de Mayenne ~1117 Robert III de Sable ~1122 Hersende D'Anthenaise ~1087 - 1145 Lisiard de Sable 58 58 ~1057 - 1110 Robert II de Sable 53 53 ~1035 - <1067 Avise "Blance" de Sable 32 32 ~0997 Geoffrey de Sable ~1010 Adelais ~0950 Hubert de Maine de Sable ~0920 Viscount de Maine Raoul 1145 Baudouin des Roches 1120 Herbert des Roches ~1159 - 1218 III Geoffrey 59 59 ~1158 Alice de Freteval ~1095 - ~1187 Seigneur de Freteval Ursion 92 92 ~1120 - >1187 Gracia de Faye 67 67 ~1100 Raoul de Chastellerault ~1100 Elizabeth de Faye ~1070 Sire de Faye Aimery ~0993 Hugh de Bouchard ~1045 II Nivelon ~1055 Eustachie de Lavardin ~1002 Seigneur de Freteval Foucher ~1015 Hildeburge de Freteval ~0962 - >1050 I Nivelon 88 88 ~0962 Ermentrude ~0992 Payn of Freteval de Chaworth ~1129 Hugh V de Chateaudun ~1134 Jean de Preuilly ~1104 Giselbert de Preuilly ~1109 Adele (Adelaise) de Vendome ~1099 Hugh IV de Chateaudun ~1104 Margaret de Montdoubleau ~1069 Hugh III de Chateaudun ~1039 Hugh II de Chateaudun ~1009 Hugh I de Chateaudun 1178 - 23 MAR 1236/37 Jean de Brienne * King of Jerusalem, 12109-1215; Emperor of Constantinople; Crusader.
* Note: He became King of Jerusalem by election of the Barons, in right of his wife, Mary, who died shortly, leaving a daghter and heiress, Yolande, in whose right he reigned. On the marriage of Yolande, he returned to Europe, where he married his third wife, Berengeria. He was elected Latin Emperor of Constantinople in 1228. He was once considered for the throne of England, which made him an enemy of Henry III, although they were later reconciled.  Jean's first marriage, to Mary, was arranged by Philippe II Augustus because Jean was having a scandalous affair with Blanch de Navare, widow of the Count de Champagne. Jean's second wife, Stephanie, was suspected of having tried to poison Jean's seven year old daughter, Iolande. When Jean found out, he beat her so severely that she eventually died from her injuries.  Jean took Franciscan orders before his death, and endeared himself to several Popes during his lifetime. ~1140 -

William was very fortunate in his marriage to Berta. All of her brothers died young without heirs so she brought a number of important lordships to the de Braoses in 1166. These included Brecon and Abergavenny. William became Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1174. His interest in Sussex was maintained as he confirmed the grants of his father and grandfather for the maintenance of Sele Priory and extended St. Mary's, Shoreham.

He killed Edwin of Northumbria at the battle of Meigen (Hatfield near Doncaster) in 632.  In 633, he killed Edwin's successors, Osric of Deria and Eanfrith of Bernicia.  The Venerable Bede declared that it was Cadwallon's intention to exterminate the English race.  However, Cadwallon himself was killed in late 633 or 634 by Eanfrith's brother Oswald.  This defeat denoted the extinction of the possiblility of restoring Brythonic supremacy in Britain.
    In the battles of 632 and 633, Cadwallon's ally was Penda, King of Mercia, who carried on the struggle with Northumbria after Cadwallon's death.  Oswald was killed in the battle of Cogwy (Oswestry) in 641, and Penda was killed by Oswy, brother of Oswald in the battle of Cai (Winwaed) in 654.

"A History of Wales" by John Davies

A group of Votadini Picts (nominal Britons from the Pictish border areas) under Cunedda Wledig were transferred by Magnus Maximus to secure Western Britain from Irish raiders, moving from the Manau Goutodin kingdom. In Wales, Cunedda governed most of the north (hence "King of North Wales"). His father and grandfather bore Roman names and in true Celtic fashion, Cunedda could trace his lineage back to Beli Mawr.

Following that Celtic tradition, upon Cunedda's death the territory under his control was divided between his sons. Most of these were "regained" by the main Gywneddian kingdom within a generation or two. Ceredigion, along the upper west coast of Wales, remained independent for much longer. The name of [Sub-Kingdoms of Gwynedd] Gwynedd either derives from the Latin Venedotia, or more probably from Cunedda (=Weneda =Gwynedd).

Cunedda (or Cunedag) was a northern British chieftain, a sub-King of Gododdin who ruled Manau Gododdin on the Firth of Forth around Clackmannan. He was requested by the northern Welsh to help them expell the invading Irish from their lands, and he eagerly obliged. With his many sons, Cunedda settled down in the area and founded a number of Royal dynasties: Gwynedd Rhos Ceredigion
Meirionydd
Dunoding
Dogfeiling
Rhufoniog: founded by Rhufon around Denbigh
Edeyrnion: founded by Edeyrn around Bala
Afflogion: founded by Afloyg on the Lleyn Peninsula Osmaeliog: founded by Osfael probably on Anglesey

Cunedda Wledig (or Cunedag) hailed from Manau Gododdin, a sub-division of the greater Kingdom of Gododdin (Lothian) in modern Scotland. His capital may have been in the Clackmannan region. His father, grandfather & great grandfather bore Roman names and were probably confederate allies of the Roman administration living just north of Hadrian's Wall. The appendage to Paternus' name is particularly telling. Like many prominent men of his era, Cunedda claimed descent from Beli Mawr, the Celtic Sun-God, through his son, Lludd Llaw Ereint, God of Healing & grandson, Afallach, God of the Underworld.

Most of the Celtic British kings of the north of Britain could trace their descent from him in one form or another, as could many Welsh kings. In the short time after his life that Central and Northern Britain remained free of the invading Angles, between the start of the fifth century and mid-sixth century, all of the kingdoms that were established were by his sons or grandsons. Although the evidence is typically patchy, he appears to have lived from around 350 - 420, during the time when the last Roman officials returned to the heart of the faltering empire, leaving Britain and her people to fend for themselves.
Coel's particular association with the north of Britain has led to the well-founded suggestion that he was the last of the Roman Duces Brittanniarum (Dukes of the Britons). Only one existed at any time. They were selected as generals of the army with direct authority from the governor of Britannia to defend the coast from the increasing barbarian raids). The Roman dux disappear from the Notitia Dignitatum in about 400 and it is not unnatural to presume that Coel took his place. He seems to have made his headquarters at Britain's northern capital of Eburacum (York), and he certainly imposed his power over a great swathe of the country. Coel Hen can be considered by tradition to be the first king in, and of, Northern Britain, as seems to have overseen the transition from direct Roman rule to an independent Britain which took care of its own defence. In the Celtic tradition, because of his dominance, he is known fully as the High King of Northern Britain* (as opposed to other major kings of his generation, such as Cunedda Wledig, who was King of North Wales - later Gwynedd, or Antonius Donatus Gregorius (Anwn), who was King of South Wales - Demetia).
From his headquarters Coel Hen governed the territory between Eburacum and Hadrian's Wall (which formed the later British kingdoms of Ebrauc, Deywr, and Bernaccia), and west to cover the area of Rheged, (later North Rheged, South Rheged, Dunoting, Elmet, Caer-Guendoleu, and a kingdom which, to deduce its name from the later Saxon Pecset, was probably called the Kingdom of the Peak). According to later claims, he also had a hand in structuring the Goutoddin in the eastern territory between the Walls after the departure of Cunedda Wledig.
As a result of the many kingdoms which were inherited by his immediate descendants, Coel became the founding ancestor of what came to be known as The Men of the North (Gwy^r y Gogledd). These were the Britons of the surviving kingdoms who were fighting the advancing Angles in the 6th and 7th centuries. They were drawn from the kingdoms of Goutoddin and Rheged, from Strathclyde and various minor principalities, and together they upheld the tradition of battling Celtic warriors, feasting together before riding out with the warband to do battle with the enemy. Their stubborn resistance was dealt a fatal blow at Catreath (Catterick) in around 600, and these events (detailed in The Mabinogion) cemented the reputation of The Men of the North in their glorious, but ultimately futile, efforts of resistance to the Teutonic invaders.
Most people today will have heard of Coel Hen (or "King Coel" - with "Hen" the Brito-Welsh word for "old"), even if they don't realise it. He is immortalised in verse:
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

The legends of the Northern British were preserved by Rhodri Mawr, when he became King of Gwynedd. One of those legends concerned Coel Hen's last campaign. It was during Coel's time as High King that immigrant Irishmen from the Scotti tribe of Dalriata (in the region of Ulster) began to settle the western coast of Pictland, around Argyle. Coel, fearing that the two peoples would unite against the British, sent raiding parties across his northern border to stir up discord between them. The plan backfired as the Picts and the Scots were not taken in. Coel merely succeeded in pushing the two even closer together, and they began to attack the British Kingdom of Strathclyde. Coel declared all out war and moved north to expel the invaders. The Picts and Scots fled to the hills ahead of Coel's army, who eventually set up camp at what became Coylton alongside the Water of Coyle (Ayrshire). For a long time, the British were victorious, while the Scots and Picts starved. Desperate for some relief, the enemy advanced in a last-ditch attack on Coel's stronghold. Coel and his men were taken by surprise, overrun and scattered to the winds. It is said that Coel wandered the unknown countryside until he eventually got caught in a bog at Coilsfield (in Tarbolton, Ayrshire) and drowned. Coel was first buried in a mound there before being removed to the church at Coylton. The year was circa AD 420. After his death, Coel's Northern Kingdom was divided between two of his sons:
Ceneu (St) assumed control of the kingdoms of the North & Midland Britain, remaining based at Ebrauc.
Gorbanian founded the dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of Bernaccia (Bryneich), which was later taken over by the Angles, who pronounced it Bernicia.
Because of Coel's, and his son's, apparently continued use of Eburacum as a base of operations and also as the traditional Roman capital of North Britain, it makes sense to list the Kings of North Britain alongside the Kings of Ebrauc (as the evolving Brito-Welsh language dubbed it). There were only three of the former, with the next in line ruling only half the land of his father, as the rest of it had been inherited by his brother.

OLD  KING  COLE AND THE COLE RACE
http://family-tree.hypermart.net/old__king__cole.htm

Meurig  (Mathew) Hen was related to Coel Hen (Old King Cole) and is thought to have written of him, from which the poem was later written. As smoking was not then invented it must be  assumed that the pipe and bowl were musical instruments equivalent to the modern flute or drum.

The children’s nursery song is now believed to have derived from the historical story of Coel Hen (Old King Cole) and because of this, or perhaps for younger readers the poem is reproduced below. Hen is the Welsh word for old.

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.
Now every fiddler had a fine fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he.
Tweedle dum, tweedle dee, went the fiddlers three,
Tweedledum-dee, dum-de-dee, dum-de-dee.

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 harpers three.
Every harper had a fine harp,
And a very fine harp had he.
Twang-a-twang, twang-a-twang, went the harpers three,
Twang-a-twang, twang, twang-a-twang-a-twee.

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 drummers three.
Every drummer had a fine drum,
And a very fine drum had he.
Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, went the drummers three,
Rub-a-dub, dub, rub-a-dub-a-dee.

The Cole family, referred to as the Cole race, ruled the biggest area of Britain (which at that time consisted of a combined England, Scotland and Wales) which encompassed present day Southern Scotland, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Northumberland and Cumbria. This compared with Wales which was split into five regions and extended east to Lichfield and the rest of Britain consisting of dozens of kingdoms.

The arrival and subsequent departure of the Romans did not much alter the Cole dynasty and it was the Danes and Saxons who eventually wiped them out, being completed by about 616.

Coel Hen himself (Old King Cole) reigned from about 350 to 420 and prior to Arthur, 'fighting duke' of the Coles, who later became a king. Coel Hen is thought to have ruled South West Scotland, Cumbria, Northumbria and Yorkshire down to York.

At the time of which we are speaking the outline of Britain was very much different than it is today. The land mass was much bigger in these dark ages, an example of which is that much of Cardigan Bay was land and a triangle of land existed between the North Wales coast to north of the Ribble. This latter area was occupied by a race of people known as the Setantii. Why no approximate maps exist showing the outline of this island prior to the huge rise in water levels during the dark ages is not understood as it would make the understanding of history very much easier.

Not much is known of the Cole race earlier than Coel Hen and his brothers. The brothers were Hen (the oldest) d about 420, Dyfynwal of Dumbarton and Clyde d about 440, Amlauit Wledic (or Lluch) d about 440, ruling East Cumbria, North Lancashire and most of Yorkshire, whose wife was Gwen, daughter of Cunedda and Arthur's maternal Great grandfather. The ruler of Setantii and lower Lancashire was Seithenin.

Two of Coel's sons were Ceneu and Gorbanian of whom nothing else is known. Another son was thought to be Meirchawn whose uncle Mor and cousin Morydd were thought to be father and brother of Merlin. Meirchawn had two sons, March  500 - 530 and Llyr Merini, with two sisters Eliffer and Gwenddoleu. Rhodric Mawr was an ancestor of Coel Hen, as was Mathew Hen, son of Brochfael Ysgythrog King of Powys.

Seithenin's family was Gwyddno, a son, who died about 470, by which time the sea had submerged his and his fathers kingdom. Another son was Arwystal Cloff who married Tywanwedd, the sister of Arthur's mother Ygerne, and therefore became Arthur's uncle. Arwystal Cloff had a daughter Machell. Another son of Seithenin was Llyr Merini (the 1st of that name, see above) whose name meant Sea Marine. Senewr d. 470 was another son of Seithenin and the last was named Menestry. Seithenin also had a grandson Cei who became one of Arthurs closest companions.

Other notes about the Cole or Coel family are as follows. Padarn Peisrudd was the grandfather of Cunedda of Gododin, who with Urien of Rheged and Gwallauc of Elmet were the warrior leaders of the Cole dynasty. Owein the son of Urien was a Cole family member so must have married into the family. Talhearn, who lived at the time of Arthur, was a family member and his son Aneirin died about 600.

By the 6th century the Anglo Saxons were pressing the Cole empire seriously, hampered severely by 'King' Arthur and by 547 the Saxon King Ida had taken Northumbria. This was the beginning of the end for the Coles.

Although much material is held on the Cole race, nevertheless reference has been made extensively to 'Old King Cole and the Real King Arthur' to collate and extend notes to write this article.

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 most of 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 of the Celtic British monarchies claimed descent from him in one form or another. He appears to have lived around the turn from the 4th to the 5th century, the time when the Roman officials returned to Italy, leaving Britain and her people to fend for themselves. Coel's particular association with the north of Britain has led to the suggestion that he may actually have been the last of the Roman Duces Brittanniarum with his headquarters at York. He certainly imposed his power over a great swathe of the country, and can be considered the first King in Northern Britain. (This Coel should not be confused with the legendary Coel Godhebog "the Magnificent", Lord of Colchester, whose daughter, St. Helen, supposedly married the Emperor Constantius Chlorus two centuries earlier.)

There is an old story told in the north about Coel's last campaign. What is now Scotland was originally inhabited by the Pictish race. It was during Coel's time that immigrant Irishmen from the Scotti tribe began to settle the Western coast around Argyle. Coel, fearing that the two peoples would unite against the British, sent raiding parties across his northern border to stir up discord between them. The plan, however, backfired for the Picts and the Scots were not taken in. Coel merely succeeded in pushing the two even closer together, and they began to attack the British Kingdom of Strathclyde. Coel declared all out war and moved north to expel the invaders. The Picts and Scots fled to the hills ahead of Coel's army, who eventually set up camp at what became Coylton alongside the Water of Coyle (Ayrshire). For a long time, the British were triumphant, while the Scots and Picts starved. Desperate for some relief, however, the enemy advanced an all-or-nothing attack on Coel's stronghold. Coel and his men were taken by surprise, overrun and scattered to the winds. It is said that Coel wandered the unknown countryside until he eventually got caught in a bog at Coilsfield (in Tarbolton, Ayrshire) and drowned. Coel was first buried in a mound there before 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 his sons, Ceneu and Gorbanian.

He is remembered as "Hywel the Good" and was responsible for sponsoring a compilation of Welsh Law, making St. Davids in Dyfed the ecclesiastical centre of Wales, and for issuing the first Royal coinage of Wales.  However, there is no evidence that coinage was used in any scale in Wales before the time of Hywel's grandson Maredudd ap Owain.
    Disorder reigned after Hywel's death, with Viking raids and English incursions spreading havoc, which the rivalries of competing petty kings and princes did nothing to mitigate.  No fewer than 35 violent deaths of rulers are recorded in the Brut y Tywsogion (Chronicle of the Princes) between 950 and the Norman Conquest.

Died in 950.

Hywel Dha (Howell the Good) Prince of South Wales. He compiled a justly famous code of laws and, after a long and peaceful reign, died in 948. He married Eleanor, daughter of the last king of Dyfed (Pembrokeshire) and ninth in descent from Cadwgan, living in 650. His daughter Ankaret and her husband Tewdwr, were grandparents of Tudor Mawr, from whom descend the Carew, Awbrey and other families. ~0935 Cuhelyn ap Iarddur ~0887 - 0943 Eleanor Verch Llywarch 56 56 ~0914 Angharat ferch Hywel ~0850 - 0903 Llywarch ap Hyfaidd 53 53 ~0820 - 0892 Hyfaidd ap Bledri 72 72 ~0790 Bledri ap Iudon ~0790 Tangwystyl ferch Owain ~0758 - 0811 Owain ap Maredudd 53 53 ~0700 - 0796 Maredudd ap Tewdos 96 96 ~0760 Iudon ap Maredud ~0700 Twedos ap Rhain ~0670 - ~0710 Rhain ap Catgocaun 40 40 ~0640 Catgocaun ap Caten ~0610 Caten ap Cloten ~0580 Cloten Gwlyddien ap Nougoy Noe ~0580 Ceindrech ferch Rhiwwallon ~0550 Rhiwallon ap Idwallon ~0520 Idwallon ap Llywarch ~0490 Llywarch ap Rhigeneu ~0470 Rhigeneu ap Rhain Dremrudd ~0452 Rhain Dremrudd ap Brychan ~0437 Brychan ap Anlach ~0427 Prawst ferch Tudwal ~0460 Gunred ferch Brychan ~0469 Meleri ferch Brychan ~0471 Tudglid ferch Brychan ~0475 Gwawr ferch Brychan ~0496 Lleian ferch Brychan ~0375 - 0500 Tudwal ap Gwefawr Morfawr 125 125 ~0377 Gratiana ferch Macsen Wledig 0324 - 0388 Macsen Wledig (Magnus Maximus) 64 64 Magnus Clemens Maximus
.......................................................................... ...............

According to Welsh legend, the Emperor Magnus Maximus, known as Macsen Wledig (the Imperator), was a widowed senator living in Rome. Being a minor member of the Constantinian Imperial family, he felt it unjust that the Empire was ruled by the Emperors, Gratian & Valentinian, but there was little he could do about it.

In about 365, Maximus was out hunting one day when he rested beneath a tree and fell asleep. He had a long dream about a palace far away. He entered the palace and encountered an ageing King and two young men playing chess. Turning, his eyes met the most beautiful woman he could ever have imagined, sitting on a golden throne. On waking, Maximus immediately sought out a local oracle who urged him to search out this beautiful maiden. So messengers were sent out across the Empire but, dispite exhaustive searches, all returned empty handed. There was no sign of Maximus' beauty.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Empire, High-King Eudaf Hen of Britain was getting very old. He decided it was time to appoint his official heir to the British Kingdom. His nephew, Cynan Meriadog, was perhaps the most obvious choice, though the King's direct heir was his only daughter, Elen. Eudaf's chief advisor, Caradog, the King of Dumnonia, advocated strengthening Roman links by marrying Elen to a man with Imperial connections. The two could then inherit the Kingdom together. He knew of such a steady young man in Rome who would make an ideal husband. Eudaf was intrigued. So had Caradog send his son, Meurig, to seek this Roman out.

Meurig arrived in Rome at the house of Magnus Maximus, just as he had received the unfortunate news that his dream girl could not be found. Glad of the distraction and persuaded by Meurig's suggestion that he might find support in Britain for his Imperial claims, Maximus gladly agreed to return with him. Comes Theodosius' historical expedition to Britain in order to quell barbarian risings actually brought Magnus Maximus to these shores in 368. Legend tells how the arrival on the island of a large army of men caused quite a stir and, not realising who it was, Eudaf sent Cynan with an army to disperse them. Fortunately, Meurig persuaded all of their good intentions and Maximus was able to ride off to Eudaf's court at Carnarfon (Caer-yn-Arfon alias Caer-Segeint).

Upon being introduced to everyone, Maximus was astounded to find that Eudaf 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 find that Eudaf's daughter, Elen, was his dream-girl. The two fell in love immediately 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 & Scots to overthrow them. However, Maximus defeated him and, being magnanimous in victory, the two made peace. Cynan became Maximus' dearest friend and also his magister militum.

[The Emperor Magnus Maximus from a Contemporary Coin] At this point, we return to more historic details. News reached Britain that Maximus' relative, Theodosius had been elevated to the Eastern Imperial throne. Incensed, Maximus invaded the Western Empire, in 383, along with his son Victorius and Prince Cynan. They withdrew troops from Carnarfon (Caer-Segeint) & elsewhere in Britain and his men quickly proclaimed Maximus as Emperor. His armies marched across the continent, establishing his rule as they went. Cynan eventually killed the Western Emperor, Gratian, in battle (being given Brittany as a reward), and Maximus became sole ruler of the West.

Maximus set up his capital at Trier and ruled well over Britain, Gaul & Spain for four years. He was baptised a Christian, and was recognised as Emperor by Theodosius who was occupied with his own troubles elsewhere. Eventually however, Maximus was forced to make a move against Gratian's younger brother, Valentinian, the Southern Emperor, who threatened his rule from Rome. He invaded Italy, took Milan and for a whole year besieged Rome, before Cynan arrived once more and finished the job. Unfortunately though, Valentinian escaped. He soon returned, backed up by the Roman Emperor of the East, Theodsoius. Maximus' forces were twice defeated at Illyricum, before he was finally killed, with his son, at Aquileia.

He took up soldiering early, and proved his valor in the wars against Egypt and Persia. He was of British birth and education, and is known as the first Christian Emperor. He fought with his father in the Boulogne campaign and shared in a British campaign. The Gallic army, deeply loyal to the humane Constantius, came to love his handsome, brave, and energetic son; and when the father died at York in 306, the troops proclaimed Constantine not merely as "Caesar" but as Augustus - emperor. He accepted the lesser title, excusing himself on the grounds that his life would be unsafe without an army at his back. Consequently Constantine fought successfully against the invading Franks. Later, with a British army he set out to put down the persecution of Christians forever. The greatest of all Roman Emperors, he annexed Britain to the Roman Empire and founded Constantinople.

Constantine the Great (Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus), born 265, died in May, 336 or 337, buried in the church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople. He was of British birth and education, and is known as the first Christian Emperor. With a British army he set out to put down the persecution of Christians forever. The greatest of all Roman Emperors, he annexed Britain to the Roman Empire and founded Constantinople. In the year 321 he decreed that the Christian Sunday be truly observed as a day of rest. In 325 he assembled the Council of Nicea in Bithynia, Asia Minor, which he attended in person. This Council formulated the Nicene Creed. The following edict of Constantine sets forth the standards of his life: "We call God to witness, the Savior of all men, that in assuming the government we are influenced solely by these two considerations - the uniting of the empire in one faith, and the restoration of peace to a world rent in pieces by the insanity of religious persecution." By his first wife (1) Minervina he was father of Flavius Valerius Crispus Caesar. He married (2) Fausta, sister of his step-mother, Theodora. Fausta and Theodora and their brother Maxentius were children of Maximinus, Roman Emperor (286-305). One writer, Brewer, said he was a giant, eight feet, six inches tall! His son Maxentius, Emperor (310-311), married Valeria, daughter of Galerius, Emperor (310-311), and his wife, Valeria, who was daughter of Diocletian, Emperor (284-305). Fausta and Constantine the Great had three sons: Constantine II., Constantius II., and Constants I., and a daughter, Helen, wife of Julian the Apostate. Minervina 0242 - 25 JUL 306 I Constantius Constantius I (Flavius Valerius Constantius Chlorus) "the Pale", Emperor of Rome

Governor of Dalmatia, appointed Caesar to rule Gaul and Britain March 1, 293. He was the son of *Eutropious, a Dardanian nobleman descended from the *Gordiani, and his wife, *Claudia, daughter of *Claudius II (Marcus Aurelius Flavius Claudius Gothicus), a virtuous and worthy Roman Emperor (268-270), who was a soldier, statesman, and a distinguished officer. Born in Illyria 214, he was trained in the hard school of warfare on the Danube frontier, and died of the Plague in 270, aged 55, whereupon his brother Marcus Aurelius Claudius Quintillus became Emperor. Constantius I became Emperor of Rome in May 305, and in right of his wife, King of England. He was born in 242 and died at Eboracum (present day York, England) on July 25, 306. On becoming "Caesar," he was required by Diocletian to put aside *Helena and to take Maximian's stepdaughter, Theodora, as his wife. From the first union, *Helena and *Constantius I had an illegitimate son, *Constantine the Great. He married (2) Theodora, daughter of Maximinus, Roman Emperor.
Gibbon says *Claudia was the niece of *Claudius II (Marcus Aurelius Flavius Claudius Gothicus).
Encyclopedia Brittanica maintains Constantius I's descent from Claudius Gothicus was a fiction. 0248 - 0336 Helen (St. Helena of the Cross) of Britain 88 88 Helen (Helena) of the Cross, called also "Britannica", born in 248, died in 328.

Waters, Gundrada de Warenne, p. II; Archæological Journal, iii. 7; Cont. of Will. Jumièges, viii.37, makes his mother a niece of Gunnor). His name was derived from his fortress situated on the left bank of the Varenne, and called after that river, though later called Bellencombre (Seine-lnférieure), where there are some ruins of a castle of the eleventh century. He was a knight at the battle of Mortemer in 1054; and when, after the battle, Roger de Mortemer, his kinsman (he is incorrectly called his brother, ib. ; Stapleton says that he was uncle), offended Duke William, the duke gave the castle of Mortemer to William Warenne (Orderic, p. 658).

At the time of the Conquest, William of Warenne accompanied William the Conqueror across from Normandy, fighting at the Battle of Hastings. William of Warenne was rewarded with huge amounts of land and helped his Lord, William the Conqueror put down revolts. He was responsible for putting up many castles in the quest to dominate the areas under his control. After the Conqueror's death, William supported William Rufus' claim to the throne and as a reward was granted the title of Earl of Surrey. He died in 1088 leaving a massive dynasty that would be powerful for several centuries.

He was one of the lords consulted by the duke with reference to his complaints against Harold (d. 1066) [q.v.], and was present at the battle of Hastings (Will. of Poitiers, p. 135). When the Conqueror returned to Normandy in March 1067 he appointed William, with other lords, to assist the two vice-roys in England. Grants of land were given him by the king; in Sussex he held Lewes, where he erected a castle, and about a sixth part of the county. He is said to have built another castle at Reigate in Surrey, and a third at Castle Acre in Norfolk. In 1069 he received Conisborough in the West Riding, with its appendages, and he became wealthy, for in 1086 he held lands in twelve counties (Ellis, Introduction to Domesday, i.213; Watson). He fought against the rebels in the Isle of Ely in 1071, and is represented as having a special grudge against Hereward, who is said to have slain his brother Frederic (Liber de Hyda, p. 295; Gesta Herewardi, pp. 46, 54, 61; Liber Eliensus, c.105; Frederic occurs as a landholder in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, see Domesday, ff. 196, ii, 465b, 170b, 172b, but was dead in 1086). During the absence of the king in 1075 Warenne was joint chief justiciar with Richard de Clare (d. 1090? ) [q.v.], and took a leading part in suppressing the rebellion of the Earls of Hereford and Norfolk. In 1077 he and his wife Gundrada [q.v.] founded the priory of St. Pancras at Lewes, the first house of the Cluniac order that was founded in England; and in that year Lanzo was sent over by the mother-house of Cluni as the first prior (for the first and genuine charter of foundation see Sir G. Duckett, Charters and Records of Cluni, i. 44-5). In a spurious charter of foundation recited in 1417 (ib. pp. 47-53; Monasticon, v.12), which should not entirely be disregarded, William is made to say that he and his wife had been advised by Lanfranc [q.v.] to found a religious house, and that they determined on their foundation in consequence of a visit that they made to Cluni when they were intending to go on a pilgrimage to Rome, but were prevented by the war between the pope and the emperor, and when they were admitted into the brotherhood of the house. William made large grants to his priory (Manuscript Register of Lewes), it received a charter from the Conqueror, and held a high place among the 'daughters of Cluni' (Duckett, u.s.). In January 1085 William and other lords were engaged in the siege of Ste.-Susanne in Maine, which was held against the Normans by the viscount Hubert de Beaumont; they had no success, and were most of them wounded (Orderic, p. 649).

William of Warenne remained faithful to William Rufus in the rebellion of 1088, and the position of his castle at Lewes rendered his loyalty especially useful to the king (ib. p. 667; Freeman, William Rufus, i. 59). Probably in that year Rufus gave him the earldom of Surrey; Orderic (p. 680) represents the grants as made at an assembly that the king held at Winchester in 1090, probably at Easter (see Freeman, u.s.), and adds that the earl died shortly afterwards. He also (p. 522) speaks of a grant of 'Surrey' as made to him by the Conqueror, and William's name occurs in the testes of two charters of the Conqueror to Battle Abbey as 'comes de Warr' (see Monasticon, iii. 244-5); but these testes are certainly spurious, indeed the charters themselves are not above suspicion. Nor does Orderic's notice of the grant of 'Surrey' necessarily imply a grant of the earldom; taken with his account of the grant by Rufus, it seems rather to exclude such a grant. Freeman indeed considers that William must have received a grant of the earldom from the Conqueror, and accordingly gives him the title of earl before l087 (see Norman Conquest, iv. 471n., 584, 659); but considering the number of times that his name occurs in genuine records of the Conqueror's time without the title of earl, as specially in 'Domesday,' there is no valid reason for Freeman's supposition. (The question is well discussed by Mr. Round in the Complete Peerage, vii. 322, art. 'Surrey.' The assertion of some genealogists that William held a Norman earldom of Warenne is contrary to an invariable Norman usage. On the custom of describing English earls by their Christian names followed by their title, and in some cases with a distinctive suffix, as 'Willelmus comes Warenna,' where Warenne is used as a surname to distinguish Earl William from other earls of the same name, see Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville, p. 145.)

It is said that the earl was wounded in the leg by an arrow at the siege of Pevensey, and was carried to Lewes, where he died, after leaving his estates in England to his elder, and in Flanders to his younger, son (Liber de Hyda, p. 299; the authority, though late, may be accepted, see William Rufus, i.76n.; the estates in Flanders must have come to the earl by his marriage). The earl's death may then be dated 24 June 1088, for Pevensey was surrendered probably in May in that year (the day is given in the Manuscript Register of Lewes Priory, f. 105, and the date is also noted in Annales de Lewes ap. Sussex Archæological Collections, ii. 24; Dugdale, followed by Doyle, gives 24 June 1089). He was buried in the chapter-house of Lewes, with an epitaph given by Orderic (p. 680). He is described as remarkably valiant (Benoit de Ste. More, i. 189).

He married (1) Gundrada [q.v.], sister of Gerbod, a Fleming, earl of Chester, and by her had two sons, William de Warenne (d. 1138) [q. v.] and Rainald or Reginald, who fought on the side of Duke Robert in 1090, was taken prisoner at Dive in 1106, and pardoned by Henry I (Orderic, pp. 690, 819, 821), and a daughter Edith [see under Gundrada], whose daughter Gundred married Nigel de Albini, and was mother of Roger de Mowbray I (d. 1188? ) [q.v.] After the death of Gundrada in 1085, William married (2) a sister of Richard Goet, or Gouet, of Perche Gouet (Eure et Loire) (0. Waters, u.s., p. 20; Bermondsey Annals, iii. 420).

Besides the priory of Lewes, he founded the priory of Castle Acre as a dependency of Lewes (Monasticon, v. 49), and is said to have been a benefactor of St. Mary's at York (ib. iii. 546, 550). He is accused of having unjustly held lands belonging to the abbey of Ely, and it is related that on the night of his death the abbot heard his soul crying for mercy, and that shortly afterwards his widow sent a hundred shillings to the church, which the monks refused to receive as the money of one who was damned (Liber Eliensis, c. 119). The story is no doubt connected with a long dispute between his descendants and the monastery. His remains were discovered at Lewes in 1845, and were reinterred at Southover in that borough (Sussex Archæological Collections, ii. II, xl. 170; Archæologia, xxxi. 439).

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.

"KILBOURNE(*) or KILBURN, (Middlesex,) England, a hamlet in the Parish of St. John's, Hampstead, three miles from Hyde Park Corner, London.
At the date of the Domesday Survey (A. D. 1080,) a part of the lands of Kilburn were owned and cultivated by Archil, a Dane, who was Lord of the adjacent Manor of Tormorbi, and by Hugo, son of Baldric the Norman. The Lords de Stuteville here held lands in 1095, at which date they were confiscated and given to Nigil de Albini, from whom they came to Roger de Mowbray, the second Baron of that name. Among the objects of interest now standing in the immediate vicinity of Kilburn, may be named, Newburgh Priory, the seat of Sir George Wombwell; Helmsley Castle, which was besieged and captured by Lord Fairfax, during the civil wars; and Shandy Hall, once the residence of the facetious Laurence Sterne, where he wrote "Tristram Shandy."

English Magnate. He led the baronial opposition to Edward II's favourites (1320-22) and was imprisoned before fleeing to France. There he became the lover of Edwards Queen Isabella with whom he secured Edward's deposition and murder in 1327. He then ruled England in the name of Edwards son Edward III, until the latter caused him to be executed. 2 FEB 1284/85 - 1356 Joan de Geneville ~1306 - ~1331 Edmund De Mortimer 25 25 1272 - 1315 Guy de Beauchamp 43 43 Guy de Beauchamp, 2nd Earl of Warwick, acquired high military honors in the martial reign of Edward I, distinguishing himself at the Battle of Falkirk, for which he was rewarded with extensive grants of land in Scotland, at the seige of Caerlaverock, and upon different occasions and also beyond the seas. In the reign of Edward II (1306-1326) he likewise played a very prominent part. In 1310 his lordship was in the commission appointed by parliament to draw up regulations for "the well governing of the kingdom and the king's household," in consequence of the corrupt influence at that period by Piers Gaveston, in the affairs of the realm, through the unbounded partiality of the king; and in two years afterwards, when that unhappy favorite fell into the hands of his enemies, upon the surrender of Scarborough Castle, his lordship violently seized upon his person, and after a summary trial caused him to be beheaded at Blacklow Hill near Warwick. The Earl's hostility to Gaveston is said to have been much increased by learning that the favorite had nicknamed him "the Black Dog of Aedenne." For this unwarrantable proceeding his lordship, and all others concerned therein, received in two years the royal pardon, but he is supposed to have eventually perished by poison, administered by the partisans of Gaveston.

The Earl married Alice, daughter of Ralph de Toni, son (by Alice de Bohun) of Ralph de Toni of Flamstead, County Herts, and had Thomas, his successor, John, Maud, Emma, Isabel, Elizabeth and Lucia. This great Earl of Warwick was, like most of the nobles of his time, a munificent benefactor to the church, having bestowed lands upon several religious houses, and founded a chantry of priests at his Manor of Elmley. His will bears date "at Warwick Castle" on Monday next after the Feast of St. James the Apostle 1315, and by it he bequeaths to Alice, his wife, a proportion of his plate, with a crystal cup, and half his bedding; as also all the vestments and books belonging to his chapel; the other moiety of his beds, rings and jewels he gives to his daughters. To his son Thomas his best coat of mail, helmet and suit of harness, and to his son John his second suit of mail, etc., appointing that all the rest of his armour, bows and other warlike "provisions" should remain at Warwick Castle for his heir. His widow married 2nd William la Zouche of Ashby, County Leicester. The Earl died at Warwick Castle August 12, 1315, succeeded by his eldest son, then but two years of age

He distinguished himself at the battle of Falkirk, and caused Piers Gaveston to be beheaded, whose partisins afterward poisoned him, and he died at Warwick Castle, 12 August 1315


Giles de Beauchamp, youngest son, succeeded his elder brother Walter in 1328, and also inherited the estates of his brother William, and had already inherited by the settlement of his elder brother the lordship of Alcester, the manor house of which called Beauchamp's Court, he had license to fortify in the 14th of Edward III (1340), with a wall of stone and lime, and to embattle it, and he obtained similar permission regarding his house at Fresh-Water in the Isle of Wight, in the 16th year of the same reign, 1342/3 ~1312 - ~1368 Lady Agnes de Mortimer 56 56 ~1331 Hugh De Audley ~1255 - 1292 Sir Piers de Geneville 37 37 ~1255 - 1323 Jeanne de Lusignan 68 68 Isabelle de Geneville Beatrice de Geneville ~1232 Maud de Lacy ~1235 - 1269 Jeanne De Fougeres 34 34 Simon de Geneville Jeanne de Geneville 1206 - 1240 Gilbert De Lacy 34 34 ~1192 Christian De Vipont ~1255 Reynold de Verdun- Burghersh ~1208 Ralph Le Bigod ~1208 Berta Furnival ~1158 - 1227 Robert De Vipont 69 69 ~1210 Isabella FitzGeoffrey ~1246 Richard FitzJohn de Mandeville ~1223 Isabel Bigod ~1248 John FitzJohn de Mandeville 1145 - 1213 John De Builly 68 68 ~1194 - 1241 John De Vipont 47 47 ~1200 - 1238 Sir Thomas Furnival 38 38 Sir Thomas de Furnival, succeeded to the feudal barony, and Henry III committed to his wardship William de Moubray, son of Roger de Moubray, a great Yorkshire baron. Of this Thomas nothing more is known than his being slain by the Saracens in the Holy Land, where he had journeyed on a pilgrimage, and that his body was brought from thence by his brother Gerard and buried at Worksop.

He was a man of great strength and beauty of person. He was m. in 1352 to Elizabeth DeBergh, dau. of Lord of Connaught, and third Earl of Ulster and head of one of the greatest of the Anglo-Norman houses in Ireland. Her mother was Maud, dau. of Lancaster, who after the death of her husband, who was murdered in 1332, was m. to Ralph Ufford. On Nov. 13, 1362, Lionel was created Duke of Clarence. This latter title was derived from the town of Clare in Suffolk, the lordship of which with other shares in the divided Gloucester estates had been inherited by Elizabeth from her grandmother, Elizabeth of Clare, the sister of Gilbert, the last Earl of Gloucester, of the house of Clare. Elizabeth d. in 1368 and left a dau. who m. Edmund Mortimer, Earl of Northumberland and Earl of March. He was sent by his father as Viceroy into Ireland and there proved himself inefficient as a ruler. After the death of his wife in 1336 a second marriage was proposed, and Humprey Bohun, Earl of Hereford, was sent to negotiate a match with Violanti Galeazzo, dau. of the Lord of Paria and with elaborate arrangements the marriage was consummated in 1368. Soon after the ceremonies he was taken ill and died.

Richard, son of the Black Prince, a boy of eleven years of age, succeeded to the Crown under the title of King Richard II, in accordance with a decree of his grandfather. The great change from a sovereign of consummate wisdom and experience to a youth of such an age was not immediately felt by the people. They were ready to admire him for the sake of his brave father. He was flattered by the lords and ladies of the court, who declared him to be the most beautiful, the wisest and best of mankind. To flatter a boy in this manner did not have a tendency to develop any good in him. Being a minor, the government was vested in the hands of his three uncles, the dukes of Lancaster, York, and Gloucester. The duke was supposed to have some thoughts of the throne himself, but he was not popular, and the memory of the Black Prince to the people was enough to force him to submit to his nephew, though on different occasions he took measures to embarrass the King in some of his enterprises.

He d. at Langley, August 1, 1402. Edmund was the least remarkable of his father's sons. He was an easy going man of pleasure and had no care for worldly riches and was very much under the guidance of his elder brother and Duke of Lancaster. During the minority of Richard II he acted with his brother as guardian and when Richard took the government into his own hands, for three successive years, was made regent during the absence of the King. In transacting business the Duke of Gloucester paid little attention to the will of Edmund, as Lancaster had him under his control. Richard II was unable to cope with the machinations of his uncle, the Duke of Lancaster, and he was accused of certain accusations which were presented against him and in consequence of which he was deposed. Lancaster immediately put his forces in motion and procured the election of his son, Henry IV, instead of Richard. This began the contest between the houses of York and Lancaster. The Yorkists were designated by the white and the Lancasters by the red rose. These wars extended from 1452 to 1494. Philippa, dau. of Lionel, second son of Edward III, sided with the Yorkists.

Both York and Lancaster were branches of the royal house of Plantagenet. Their dynastic rivalry developed into the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485).
When Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, laid claim to the throne occupied by King Henry VI, who was head of the house of Lancaster, it was agreed that the house of York should inherit the throne on Henry's death. Henry's wife, Margaret of Anjou, however, wanted her son Edward to succeed his father. In 1455 she raised an army to defend her claim. Richard was killed in battle in 1460, but in 1461 his eldest son was proclaimed King Edward IV, the first Yorkist king. On the death of Edward IV in 1483, his 12-year-old son, King Edward V, was promptly imprisoned by his paternal uncle, who had himself crowned King Richard III. Edward V and his brother later disappeared, and tradition holds Richard responsible for their deaths. In 1485 Richard III was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field. With his death, the York dynasty came to an end as the Tudor family took the throne.

Edward IV ascended to the throne in 1461 finally achieving the goal of seating a member of the York family pushed forth by his father, Richard, duke of York, for the entire decade of the 1450s. He fought alongside his father at the battle at Ludford after which Edward fled to Calais with the earl of Warwick and the earl of Salisbury. Edward defeated the Lancastrians at Mortimor's Cross and was proclaimed king in March 1461. In 1464 he married Elizabeth Woodville which became the root of many future troubles. Unable to muster enough forces to confront a set of Lancastrian armies (one of which was led by Richard Neville, earl of Warwick), Edward fled to Holland in September 1470. The next year he returned and defeated the Lancastrian forces at the battle of Tewkesbury. That same year he had Henry VI executed. Upon his death in 1483, his legacies include two young sons, Edward V and Richard, both of which would be murdered in the Tower of London that year. 1443 Edmund Plantagenet 1449 - FEB 1477/78 George Plantagenet 1452 - 1485 Richard III Plantagenet 32 32 Duke of Gloucester,

RICHARD III - A MAN AND HIS TIMES

<http://www.richard111.com/richardpict.gif> In 1399, the English Crown changed hands.  The childless Richard II, last king in an unbroken line of descent since the Norman Conquest, was deposed and murdered by his cousin Henry of Bolingbroke, who became King Henry IV.  The Lancastrian kings - Henry IV, Henry V of Agincourt fame, and Henry VI - descended from John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, the third surviving son of Edward III.  The heirs of Richard II, stemming from Lionel, Duke of Clarence and Edward, Duke of York, the second and fourth sons of Edward III, were disinherited from the throne.

When Henry V died in 1422, his son Henry was an infant of nine months.  A regency directed by a council of leading peers and churchmen were put in place until Henry VI came of age to rule. As was the case with a royal minority, Henry's childhood and youth were dominated by squabbling nobles determined to control the young king. Unfortunately, Henry VI remained governed by various groups throughout his adult life.

Richard Plantagenet, was born on the 2nd of October, 1452 at Fotheringhay Castle.  His father, the Duke of York, the heir of Richard II, possessed a better claim to the English throne than did Henry VI.   His mother, Cecily Neville, known as "The Rose of Raby" was a member of the numerous and powerful Neville family.

When Richard was a young child, the political scene in England changed. Henry VI spent large parts of his reign in a catatonic state, unable to recognize his chief ministers or govern the kingdom.  The Duke of York, as the leading peer of the realm, was appointed Protector while the king was in a catatonic state.

Meanwhile, Henry's French queen, Margaret of Anjou, established her own court party and was jealous of the Duke of York's power and position. She pursued a policy that deliberately alienated the Duke and deprived him of a role and voice in the government.

Margaret, by her partisan politics, made the mistake of attaching the English crown to a faction.  Thus, families such as the Nevilles, who were unable to get impartial justice from the king, turned to the Duke of York to redress their local grievances.  It was in this fashion that York, who was positioned as a reformer, built his support.

At the Battle of St. Albans , matters came to a head.  Over the next five years, the Duke of York's family lived in a state of uncertainty and risk, their fortunes changing with each battle.  In 1459, York was defeated at Ludlow and fled to Ireland. Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and York's eldest son, Edward, escaped to Calais in France.  The Duke of York claimed the throne; and in December of 1460, York, and his seventeen year old son, Edmund, Duke of Rutland were ambushed and killed at the Battle of Wakefield.  The Yorkists accepted York's eldest son, Edward of March as king. by the   He cemented his title by soundly defeating the Lancastrians at Towton thus deposing Henry VI. During the struggle, Richard, along with his brother, George, were sent to the Netherlands for their safety.

Richard and George returned back to England.  Edward IV created George, Duke of Clarence, and shortly thereafter, Richard, was created Duke of Gloucester.  In November of 1461, Richard was sent to Middleham Castle in North Yorkshire to begin his knightly training under his cousin, Richard Neville, known as the "Kingmaker".   Richard spent the next three years of his life beginning his apprenticeship in knightly conduct.   His training consisted of learning Latin, French, law, mathematics, penmanship, music, horsemanship and military training.   He learned to practice with sword, dagger and battle-axe, and how to manage a hawk and learn to hunt.   He learned the fine arts of his time - harping, singing, piping and dancing.   While he was at Middleham, he would have been in the company of Warwick's second daughter, the Lady Anne Neville, who was four years his junior.

In 1464, the political scene changed again.  While Warwick was conducting negotiations for Edward IV to marry a French princess, Edward took the unprecedented step of secretly marrying a commoner, a Lancastrian widow named Elizabeth Woodville.   Elizabeth Woodville had a large family which included two sons, and twelve brothers and sisters.  All of the Woodvilles were now entitled to good marriages, which in effect cornered the market on English heirs and heiresses.  By elevating the queen's family, Edward IV was attempting to build a court of his own, dependent upon him, in an effort to assert his independence from Warwick.  The Woodvilles were known for their greediness, snobbery and grasping ways. The result of the situation was that the only prospective bridegrooms left of sufficient rank for Warwick's two heiresses were Edward IV's young brothers, George and Richard.  Edward, who had pulled away from Warwick, forbade the marriages.

With Warwick moving from estrangement to open rebellion, Richard of Gloucester's time at Middleham came to an end.  He was forced to chose between his brother and his cousin of Warwick.  In an effort to win their support, Warwick offered the brothers his daughters as a bribe.  George and the older daughter, Isabel were married in Calais in 1469, and George went over to Warwick's side.   His personal motto of "Loyaulte Me Lie" was a testament of his unswerving loyalty for his brother, Edward IV.

Warwick and George raised a rebellion which resulted in the deaths of two of the Woodvilles - the father and brother of the Queen.  In 1470, Warwick and Clarence formed an alliance with the exiled Lancastrians, including the ex-queen Margaret of Anjou.  To seal the bargain, Warwick married his 14 year old daughter Anne to Margaret's son, Edward of Lancaster.  The new alliance invaded England forcing Edward and Richard to flee the country.

The victorious Warwick put Henry VI back on the throne, but his success was short lived.  Edward and Richard returned to England after the winter and mustered their forces.  Richard persuaded George into a reconciliation, and together the three brothers defeated the Lancastrians at Barnet where Warwick and his brother, John Neville were defeated and killed.  Shortly thereafter, Prince Edward of Lancaster was killed in the Battle of Tewkesbury.  Contemporary sources state that he was cut down by George of Clarence's men while fleeing the battlefield.  Shortly after Tewksbury, Henry VI died in the Tower of London on the orders of Edward IV leaving no Lancastrian heir.

After the battle of Tewkesbury, George of Clarence took Anne Neville into his charge by sending her to her sister Isabel.   Richard was kept occupied helping Edward IV with the reins of the country and was preparing to go north against the Scots.   Richard was then Constable and Admiral of England.  He additionally received Warwick's old office of Great Chamberlain and the stewardship of the Duchy of Lancaster beyond Trent.  Edward transferred Richard's seat of power from the Welsh Marches to Yorkshire.   Richard relinquished the offices of Chief Justice and Chamberlain of South Wales.  Before he set forth for the north, he was given the Warwick estates of Middleham, Sheriff Hutton and Penrith, and later received the remaining portions of the Warwick properties in Yorkshire and Cumberland.

By early August, James III was willing to negotiate the violations of the truce between England and Scotland.   By September, Richard returned to London and sought Anne at the residence of George of Clarence.  Clarence wanted the vast Neville inheritance for himself.   Richard quietly appealed to his brother, Edward IV, and when Richard returned to Clarence' home, he was informed that Anne was no longer in his household.   Clarence hid her in a London cook shop disguised as a servant.   Richard found Anne and placed her in the sanctuary of St. Martin Le Grand.   It was the only refuge where she would be protected from Clarence and also not placed in any obligation to Richard.

Edward IV requested that his two brothers meet before his council to debate Clarence' claim over the inheritance of Anne Neville.  Clarence claim was illegal and unreasonable.   After a long and bitter legal struggle with George, Richard kept the Warwick property already bequeathed to him by Edward IV.  Richard relinquished the remainder of Warwick's lands and property, and surrendered the office of Great Chamberlain of England for the modest office of Warden of the Royal Forests beyond Trent and agreed to George receiving the earldoms of Warwick and Salisbury.

He married Anne Neville in 1472 and they retired to Middleham Castle and began to establish their household.  During 1473, Anne gave birth to a son who was named Edward.

Richard spent the twelve years of his life bringing peace and order to an otherwise troublesome area of England.  Through his hard work and diligence, he attracted the loyalty and trust of the northern gentry. His ability for fairness and justice became his byword.  He had a good working reputation of the law, was an able administrator and was militarily formidable.   He encouraged trade in Middleham and secured a license from Edward IV so the village could hold two fairs a year.   One of his greatest achievements was the Scottish Border campaigns during the years of 1481-82.  Under his leadership, on behalf of Edward IV, he won a brilliant campaign against the Scots that is diminished by our lack of understanding of the regions of his times.

Richard III enjoyed a special relationship with the City of York.  His affiliation with the City of York and their affection for Richard is evident in their archives.   When in York, he often stayed at the Augustinian Friars in Lendal.  In 1477, Richard and Anne became members of the Corpus Christi Guild.  Richard III, known to be a pious man, was instrumental in setting up no less than ten chantries and procured two licenses to establish two colleges, one at Barnard Castle in County Durham and the other at Middleham.  It is known that his favorite residence was Middleham Castle and he was especially generous to the church raising it to the status of collegiate college.  The statutes, written in English rather than Latin, were drawn up under his supervision.

In 1478, Richard's brother, George of Clarence, continued to dabble in treason. George's wife Isabel had died in childbirth causing George to overstep his bounds for the last time. He accused one of Isabel's servants of poisoning her and the baby. He took it upon himself to put her on trial and execute her on a malicious charge, thus subverting the king's justice. George was imprisoned by Edward IV under a sentence of death. Richard hurried south to try to prevent the sentence from being carried out. Hostile chroniclers remarked on how strongly Richard pleaded with Edward for his brother's life.  George of Clarence, was privately executed in a butt of Malmsey in the Tower of London in 1478.  After that, Richard went back to Middleham and rarely came to court.

In April of 1483, Edward IV died suddenly. Richard was appointed "Protector" in Edward's will since Edward's oldest son was too young to govern on his own. The Woodvilles fearing their power was at an end ignored the will and tried to take control of the young king.  If they could crown young Edward before Richard came to London, his protectorship would lapse and the Woodvilles would govern the country.

Richard was notified of his brother's death by William Hastings, Edward IV's Lord Chamberlain and friend. Hastings warned Richard of the conspiracy against him and advised him to "get you to London and secure the person of your nephew". Taking 100 men with him, Richard stopped at York where a requiem mass was said for the soul of his brother; he also led his men in an oath of fealty to his nephew and king. The Woodvilles had raised Edward exclusively and attempted to rule through him once he was crowned. Richard, aided by his cousin, Henry Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham, caught up with the young king's escort at Stony Stratford. Richard arrested the Woodville conspirators, confiscated barrels of arms and armor and brought Edward V to London for his coronation. Elizabeth Woodville, hearing of the news, fled into sanctuary with her other children. While in London, Richard discovered another plot against his life, this time led by William Hastings.

While Richard was preparing for his nephew's coronation, Robert Stillington, who had been the Chancellor of England twice under Edward IV, informed Richard that Edward V could not be legally crowned king. Stillington revealed that Edward had been betrothed to another woman when he married Elizabeth Woodville, making all of the royal children illegitimate. Medieval church law held a consummated betrothal to be as legally binding as a marriage, and illegitimate children were not allowed to inherit.

With the untimely death of his brother, Edward IV in 1483, he was petitioned by the Lords and Commons of Parliament to accept the kingship of England. <http://www.richard111.com/1page.gif> On July 6 1483, Richard III was crowned.  His first and only Parliament was held during January and February of 1484.  He passed the most enlightened laws on record for the Fifteenth Century.  He set up a council of advisors that diplomatically included Lancastrian supporters, administered justice for the poor as well as the rich, established a series of posting stations for royal messengers between the North and London. He fostered the importation of books, commanded laws be written in English instead of Latin so the common people could understand their own laws. He outlawed benevolences, started the system of bail and stopped the intimidation of juries.

During his royal progress of 1483, Richard refused great gifts of cash from various cities saying he would rather have their goodwill than their money.  Bishop Thomas Langton said: "He contents the people where he goes best that ever did prince, for many a poor man hath suffered wrong many days, hath been relieved and helped by him, and his commands on his progress. And in many great cities and towns were great sums of money given to him, which he hath refused. On my troth, I never liked the conditions of any prince so well as his. God hath sent him to us for the weal of us all."

He re-established the Council of the North in July of 1484 and it lasted for more than a century and a half. He established the College of Arms that still exists today. He donated money for the completion of St. George's Chapel at Windsor and King's College in Cambridge. He modernized Barnard Castle, built the great hall at Middleham and the great hall at Sudeley Castle. He undertook extensive work at Windsor Castle and ordered the renovation of apartments at one of the towers at Nottingham Castle.

In October of 1483, Richard learned that Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham had begun an uprising against him. Buckingham, who also had a claim to the throne might have thought of himself as another "Kingmaker". In any event, the rebellion was not as successful as Buckingham had hoped; he was captured and executed for treason. Richard III called him "the most untrue creature living".

Despite his attempt to safeguard the country, Richard's kingship was filled with personal tragedy.  In 1484, while Anne and Richard were at Nottingham Castle, they received word that their beloved son, Edward, who was at Middleham, died suddenly after a brief illness. The Croyland Chronicler reported "In the following April, on a day, not far from King Edward's anniversary, all hope of the royal succession raised, died at Middleham castle after a short illness, in 1484, and in the first year of King Richard's reign.   You might have seen the father and mother, after hearing the news at Nottingham where they were then staying, almost out of their minds for a long time when faced with the sudden grief." Richard appointed his nephew, John De La Pole, Earl of Lincoln, as his new heir.

His wife, Anne, never recovered from the loss of her son, and died almost a year later.  Her body was borne to Westminster Abbey and laid to rest on the south side of St. Edward's Chapel.  Richard wept openly at her funeral and shut himself off for three days.   In eighteen months, Richard lost his brother, son and wife.

In eighteen months, he lost, brother, son and wife.  Throughout these personal tragedies, the endless plots against his life, he remained steadfast to his obligations.

<http://www.richard111.com/boar.gif> A hostile chronicler reported that while Queen Anne was ailing, Richard hastened her death to marry his niece, Elizabeth of York. The comment arose from a chronicler because his niece appeared in a dress made from the same material as that of the Queen. The dress was due more to the Queen's kindness to her niece. Upon hearing the rumor, Richard sent Elizabeth away to join the household at Sheriff Hutton Castle where his other nieces and nephews lived. Then he gathered together the most influential men in London and publicly denounced the rumor. This act demonstrates his integrity and courage.

The unofficial heir to Lancaster was now Henry Tudor.  Tudor was descended on his mother's side from John of Gaunt's illegitimate Beaufort children, and on his father's side from an unauthorized liaison between Henry V's widowed French queen, Katherine of Valois and Owen Tudor, a Welsh esquire. With the backing of the French king and an army gathered from the jails and mercenaries of France and the remnants of the Lancastrian army, they prepared to invade England in the summer of 1485. By May, Richard left London for the last time and journeyed to Windsor. His Knights and Esquires of his Household accompanied him.   Francis, Viscount Lovel, was sent to Southampton to lead the forces in case Tudor landed in the southern counties.  John, Duke of Norfolk, was stationed in Essex.  Sir Robert Brackenbury, the Constable of the Tower, was defending the capital.

Richard left Windsor and departed for Kenilworth.  By the middle of June, he was at the centre of his realm at Nottingham Castle.   He sent his niece, Elizabeth of York, along with her sisters, his nephews and his illegitimate son, John of Gloucester, to Sheriff Hutton.   From Nottingham, he sent instructions to the commissioners of array in all the shires alerting them to the invasion.  On the 11of August, a messenger brought news to Richard, who had been at Beskwood Lodge, that Henry Tudor had landed at Milford Haven in South Wales on Sunday, the 7th of August.

Richard sent word to Northumberland, Brackenbury, Lovel and Norfolk commanding them to join him in Leicester.  On Friday, August 19th, Richard left Nottingham and traveled south toward the city of Leicester. On the 20th of August, Richard was in Leicester with his captains mustering his men.  By late afternoon, he learned from his scouts that the army of Lord Stanley was at Stoke Golding while William Stanley was at Shenton.   Henry Tudor and his men were at Atherstone.  On Sunday, the 21st of August, Richard and his royal army left the city of Leicester. Richard and his commanders took their position on Ambion Hill at Bosworth Field.

The Duke of Northumberland and Lords Thomas and William Stanley, along with their troops, waited out the start of the battle while the rest of Richard's army engaged Henry's exiles and French mercenaries.  After Richard's commander, the Duke of Norfolk was killed, Richard tried to win the conflict by a surprise charge at Tudor, before the waiting armies of the Stanley and Northumberland chose sides.  Richard led his household men against Tudor.  Richard killed Tudor's standard bearer, William Brandon, and a giant of a man named Sir John Cheyney.  When Richard was only a few feet away from Tudor, Stanley's army moved, surrounding and killing Richard and the men of his Household.

As he swung his battle-axe, he was known to have shouted "Treason - Treason - Treason" as he was slain.   Northumberland and his army remained waiting on the sidelines and never engaged in battle to assist Richard.

Richard was 32 years old when he was killed at the Battle of Bosworth. His reign showed great promise.  He was the only king from the north, the last of the Plantagenet kings and the last king of England to die in battle. Polydore Vergil, Henry Tudor's official historian wrote "King Richard, alone, was killed fighting manfully in the thickest press of his enemies".

Through betrayal, Henry Tudor became Henry VII.  Henry attempted to backdate his reign to the date before the battle in order to attaint for treason men who had fought for King Richard III.

John Spooner, rode into the city of York the day after the battle.  The Mayor and Alderman of York assembled in the council chamber and recorded "it was recorded by John Spooner that King Richard, late mercifully reigning upon us, was piteously slane and murdered to the grete heaviness of this citie".  The citizens of York who regarded Richard as their "right high and mighty prince" did not forget nor forgive the betrayal of Richard.

The Duke of Northumberland, who commanded a large army, was motivated by jealousy because of Richard's success as Lord of the North had eclipsed Northumberland's power, and Richard's wife's family were his family's greatest rivals.  Several years later, Northumberland was pulled from his horse and hanged on the spot while trying to collect taxes for Henry.

Henry VII's reign was not the golden age his writers proclaimed.  Rumors and Yorkist pretenders plagued his reign.  Henry VII wanted to glorify the Tudors and justify his kingship.  In the Tudor view of English history, the coming of Henry VII saved England from disorder, bloodshed and evil, as personified by the king Henry had defeated.  Thus chroniclers and historians under Tudor began a campaign to blacken Richard's name and reputation.

With the accession of James I, his defenders began to speak out, and into the present day, the defenders of King Richard III continue to speak out in his defense.

King Richard III appealed to the ideals of loyalty, lordship and honor. He knew how to command, how to reward, but most of all, he knew how to inspire.

Sir Clements Markham stated: "The true picture of our last Plantagenet king is not unpleasant to look upon, when the accumulated garbage and filth of centuries of calumny have been cleared off the surface".

The handiwork of the Tudor historians against this much maligned monarch can be summed up best in Paul Murray Kendall's 1955 biography - "What a tribute this is for art - what a misfortune this is for history".

He was Constable of the Tower and member of the Privy Council of King Richard. He died 1425

Sixth BARON NEVILLE. Ralph Neville, sixth Baron Neville and first Earl of Westmoreland, eldest son of Raby and Maud Percy, dau. of Henry Percy, who d. in 1352. In 1380, in his sixteenth year, he entered the service, in the French expedition under the King's uncle, Thomas of Woodstock, Earl of Buckingham, afterwards Duke of Gloucester, who knighted him. In 1384 he was associated with his father in receiving the last instalments of David Bruce's ransom. In 1385 he was appointed joint governor of Castile, with the eldest son of Lord Clifford. On the death of his father in 1388, at the age of twenty-four, he became Baron of Raby. On the 24th of May, 1389, he was made warden of the royal forests north of Trent. The following year he was employed in negotiations with Scotland.

Neville's power was great in the north country where he, as Lord Raby and Brancepath in the bishopric of Durham and Middleham, and Sheriff Hutton in Yorkshire, was fully the equal, simple baron though he was, of his cousin, the head of the Percies. His support was therefore worth securing by King Richard when, in 1397, he took his revenge upon the Duke of Gloucester and other lords. The Lord of Raby was already closely connected with the crown and the court partly by marriages and alliances. He had secured for his eldest son, John, the hand of Elizabeth, dau. of the King's step-brother, Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent, who was deep in Richard's counsels, and he himself had taken for his second wife, Joan Beaufort, dau. of John of Gaunt, the King's uncle. In the distribution of rewards among the King's supporters, on Sept. 29, 1397, Neville was made Earl of Westmoreland. When Richard drove his brother-in-law Henry, Earl of Derby, out of the realm, and refused him possession of the Lancaster estates, on John of Gaunt's death, Westmoreland took sides against the King, and was one of the first to join Henry when he landed in Yorkshire in July, 1399. He and his relative, Northumberland, who had joined Henry at the same time, represented the superior lords temporal in the parliamentary deputation, while on Sept. 29, 1399, received in the tower, Richard's renunciation of the crown. The next day Westmoreland was granted for life the office of Marshal of England, which had been held by the banished Duke of Norfolk. When Henry IV was crowned on the 13th of October, Westmoreland bore the small sceptre, his younger half brother, John Lord Latimer, who at the time was a minor, carried the sceptre royal. The garter vacated by the death of Edmund, Duke of York, in August, 1402, was bestowed on Westmoreland. During the following year the Percies revolted and Westmoreland found an opportunity of weakening the great rival house in the north. One of Hotspur's grievances was the transference of his captaincy of the Roxbury Castle to Westmoreland in 1402. The day after the battle of Shrewsbury, in which Hotspur was slain, Henry wrote to Westmoreland and other Yorkshire chiefs, charging them to levy troops and intercept the Earl of Northumberland, who was marching from the north, Westmoreland drove the old Earl back to Warkworth and sent an urgent message to Henry, advising him to come into the north, where reports of his death were being circulated by the Percies. The King came and three days later transferred the wardenship which Northumberland had held since 1399, to Westmoreland. On his return south, Henry directed Westmoreland and his brother, Lord Furnival, to secure the surrender of the Percy castles. Soon after Northumberland was pardoned by the King and reconciled to Westmoreland. Westmoreland and Somerset were the only two Earls in the council of twenty-two whom, the King was induced, by the urgency of the Commons, to designate in parliament as his regular advisors.

Northumberland's reconciliation was not sincere. In 1405 he was again in revolt and remembering how his plans had failed and how he had been foiled by Westmoreland, two years before, he began with an attempt to get his cousin into his power by surprise. Westmoreland happened to be staying in a castle belonging to Sir Ralph Eure when it was suddenly beset one night by Northumberland at the head of four hundred men. But Westmoreland had received timely warning and was already flown. The flame of rebellion broke out in three different points. Northumberland was moving from the north to effect a junction with Sir John Faucenburg and other Cleveland connections of the Percies and Mowbrays who were in arms, and with youthful Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marshal and Archbishop Scrope, who raised a large force in York and advanced northward. One of Mowbray's grievances was that the office of Marshal of England had been given to Westmoreland and that he therefore had an additional spur to prompt action against the threatening combination. Taking with him the young Prince John, he threw himself between the two main bodies of rebels and routed the Cleveland force and intercepted the Archbishop and Mowbray little more than five miles north of York. Westmoreland finding himself the weaker in numbers had to recourse to strategem.

Explanations were exchanged between the two camps and Westmoreland expressing approval of the articles of grievance submitted to him by Scropy, invited the Archbishop and Earl Marshal to a personal conference. They met with equal retinues between the two camps. Westmoreland declared their demands most reasonable and promised to use his influence with the King. They there joyfully shook hands over the understanding. The unsuspecting archbishop was now easily induced to dismiss his followers with the cheerful news. As soon as they were dispersed Westmoreland laid hands upon Scrope and Mowbray and soon after handed them to the King, under whose order they were executed. The crisis over, Westmoreland returned to his employment, associating with him his eldest son, John, and during the rest of the reign was constantly engaged on the frontiers. He had made himself one of the great props of his brother-in-law's throne. Two of his brothers, Lord Furnival, who for a time was war-treasurer, and Lord Latimer were Pcers, and towards the close of the reign he began to make those fortunate marriages for his numerous family by his second marriage, which enabled the younger branch of Neville to play so decisive a part in after years. One of the earliest of these marriages was that of his dau. Catherine in 1412 to the young John Mowbray, brother of the unfortunate Earl Marshal, who had been entrusted to his guardianship by the King. Westmoreland d. Oct. 1, 1425. His wife, Catharine Swynford, widow of Sir Robert Ferrers, survived him and d. Nov. 13, 1440

Thomas Beauchamp,
Earl of Warwick
Born: 14th February 1314
Died: 13th November 1369 at Calais, France

This eminent person, the son of Guy, Earl of Warwick, by Alice, sister and heiress of Robert, Lord Tony of Flamsted (Herts), passed an active life in the service of his country; having been, from an early period, constantly entrusted with high and confidential employments. His father dying in 1315, when the subject of this memoir was in his infancy, the custody and tuition of his person were first committed to the King Edward II's favourite, Hugh Le Despenser; but, upon the accession of Edward III , Warwick Castle and his other extensive possessions were granted to Roger, Lord Mortimer, afterwards Earl of March, until he should attain his majority. Before that event, however, he was armed by the King; and, as a special favour, admitted to the livery of his lands. The Earl of March having, in 1337, received a grant of the benefit of his marriage, bestowed on him, his eldest daughter, the Lady Katherine Mortimer, having first obtained a Papal dispensation on account of the consanguinity of the parties in the third and fourth degrees. In 1342, Thomas was in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Lancaster on the march of the army into Scotland for the establishment of John Balliol as King; and, in the following year, was constituted Marshal of England; having, about the same time, the distinguished honour of being numbered, together with his younger brother, John, Lord Beauchamp, amongst the founders of this Most Noble Order of the Garter. In 1346, he attended the King on his military expedition into France; and it is recorded of him that, upon landing at La Hogue, he gave immediate proof of his valour by attacking, with only one esquire and six archers, a body of one hundred Normans. After slaying sixty of them, he made way for the disembarkation of the English host. Earl Thomas was one of the chief commanders who, under Edward, Prince of Wales, led the van at the Battle of Crécy. In 1347, he was at the Siege of Calais with a considerable retinue. At the Battle of Poitiers, in 1356, he added greatly to his fame and acquired other advantages. For he obtained £8,000 as the ransom for William De Melleun, Archbishop of Seinz, whom he had made prisoner in that memorable conflict. His heroic spirit induced him, during the truce with France, in 1362, to seek renown in the crusade against the Lithuanians, to which he devoted three years. At his return, Thomas brought, with him, the son of their sovereign, whom he caused to be baptized in London and, as his sponsor, gave him his own Christian name. In 1366, the Earl was despatched by the King into Flanders upon special service; and, in the same year, had a renewal of the grant of the office of Marshal.

King Edward, having in consequence of an infraction of the treaty with France, in 1368, sent into that Kingdom, John, Duke of Lancaster and Humphrey De Bohun, Earl of Hereford, with an army, which lay encamped near Calais. However, from a scarcity of provisions, many died of famine and pestilence. The Earl of Warwick, hearing that the French army had manifested a disposition to give battle, hastened, at the head of a chosen band, to the coast of the enemy, who, thus surprised, fled with precipitation. Upon disembarking, he expressed himself indignant at the delay which had occurred in the attack, saying, "I will go on and fight before the English bread we have eaten be digested;" and thereupon entered and wasted the Isle of Caux. But, on his return towards Calais, he died on the 13th November 1369. Apparently having fallen sick with the pestilence, though rumours later emerged concerning his poisoning by Humphrey De Bohun. Thomas left "not behind him his equal in warlike qualities and fidelity to the King and Kingdom." His body was conveyed to England and interred in the Collegiate Church of St. Mary in Warwick, where a splendid tomb, with the effigies of himself and his countess, is still extant to their memory. Previous to his departure upon his last and fatal expedition, he made his will, dated at Chelsea, 6th September 1369.

By Katherine, his countess, he had seven sons and nine daughters. The sons were: Guy, who predeceased him, leaving three daughters; Thomas , who succeeded him as Earl of Warwick; Reyburn, who died without male issue; William, Baron of Bergavenny; Roger, who died without issue; John; and Jerome. The two last probably died young, as they are not mentioned in any of the entails.

He succeeded to the Castle and     Honour of Abergavenny by virtue of the entail made by John, Earl of Perbroke, who was Seignior of Wieseford and Bergavenny. He served under the gallant Chandos and subsequently, in the wars with France, with great distinction, and in 1375/6 was, by Edward III, nominated Knight of the Garter.  Having succeeded to the lands of Abergavenny, he was summoned to Parliament from July 23, 1392,  to December 18, 1409, as a baron as Lord Bergavenny of Beauchamp of Bergavenny. All the writs being directed to "Willilmo Beauchamp de Bergavenny." In 1399 he was appointed Justiciary of South Wales and Governor of Pembroke.

King of Scotland from 1165 to 1214; although he submitted to English overlordship for 15 years (1174-89) of his reign, he ultimately obtained independence for his kingdom.  William was the second son of the Scottish Henry, Earl of Northumberland, whose title he inherited in 1152. He was forced, however, to relinquish this earldom to King Henry II of England (reigned 1154-89) in 1157. Succeeding
to the throne of his elder brother, King Malcolm IV, in 1165, William joined a revolt of Henry's sons (1173) in an attempt to regain Northumberland. He was captured near Alnwick, Northumberland, in 1174 and released after agreeing to recognize the overlordship of the king of England and the supremacy of the English church over the Scottish church.

Upon Henry's death in 1189, William obtained release from his feudal subjection by paying a large sum of money to England's new king, Richard I (reigned 1189-99). In addition, although William had quarreled bitterly with the papacy over a church appointment, Pope Celestine III ruled in 1192 that the Scottish church owed obedience only to Rome, not to England. During the reign of King John in England, relations between England and Scotland deteriorated over the issue of Northumberland until finally, in 1209, John forced William to renounce his claims. In his effort to consolidate his authority throughout Scotland, William developed a small but efficient central administrative bureaucracy. He chartered many of the major burghs of modern Scotland and in 1178 founded Arbroath Abbey, which had become probably the wealthiest monastery in Scotland by the time of his death. William was succeeded by his son Alexander II.

This eminent nobleman was a distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish Wars of Edward I. "In the 23rd year of which reign (1294/5), being in Wales with the king," as Dugdale relates, "he performed a noble exploit, namely: Hearing that a great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain, betwixt two woods, and to secure themselves had fastened their pikes to the ground, sloping toward their assailants, he marched thither with a choice company of cross-bowman and archers, and in the nighttime encompassing them about, put betwixt every 2 horseman, one crossbowman, which cross-bowman killing many of them that held the pikes, the horse charged in suddenly and made a       very great slaughter." This was done near Montgomery. His lordship married Maud, widow of Girard de Furnival, and one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of Richard FitzJohn, son of John FitzGeoffrey, Chief Justice of Ireland, by whom he had surviving issue: Guy, his successor, Isabel, who married Peter de Chaworth (from whom you descend in several ways. E. E. W.), Maud, Margaret, Ann and Amy. William de Beauchamp, first Earl of Warwick of that family, died 1298, having previous to his mother's death used the style and title of Earl of Warwick, with what legality appears very doubtful. 1262 - 1306 Isabel De Beauchamp 44 44 1271 Robert De Beauchamp 1273 John De Beauchamp 1274 Anne De Beauchamp 1276 Amy De Beauchamp 1278 Margaret De Beauchamp 1281 - 1322 Geoffrey III De Saye 41 41 1210 - 1269 William De Beauchamp 59 59 William de Beauchamp, feudal lord of Elmley, called the Blind Baron. This nobleman attended King Henry III in the 37th year of his reign (1252/3) to Gascoigne in France, and in two years afterwards marched under Robert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester against the Scots. In the 41st of the same monarch, 1257, he had summons (with other illustrious persons) to meet the king at Chester on the feast day of St. Peter de Vincula, well fitted with horse and arms to oppose the incursions of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales. Lord Beauchamp married Isabel de Maudit, daughter of William de Maudit of Hanslape, County Bucks, heritable Chamberlain of the exchequer, and sister and heiress of William de Maudit, Earl of Warwick, who died 1267, sine prole, and who had inherited the dignity of Earl of Warwick from his cousin, Margery de Newburgh, Countess of Warwick, in the year 1263
William de Beauchamp made his will in 1268, the year in which he died, and was succeeded by his eldest son, William de Beauchamp. 1217 - <1268 Isabel de Mauduit 51 51 Isabel de Maudit married William de Beauchamp, Baron of Elmly, from whom the Beauchamps, Earls of Warwick, descend. This nobleman attended King Henry III in 1252 into Gascoigne, and in two years afterwards marched under the banner of Robert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, against the Scots. Isabel was a sister of William de Mauduit, Earl of Warwick, who inherited the dignity of Earl from his cousin, Margery de Newburgh, Countess of Warwick, in 1263 1243 - 1303 Walter De Beauchamp 60 60 Walter de Beauchamp became Baron of Alcester in Warwickshire and Powyck in Worcestershire.   He purchased from Reginald FitzHerbert a moiety of the Manor of Alcester and made that one of his principal seats, calling it Beauchamp's Court, Powyck being the other. This Walter, who was a very eminent person at the period in which he lived, being signed with the cross for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, had a legacy of 200 marks bequeathed him by his father for the better performance of that voyage. He was Steward of the household of King Edward I and attended that monarch to Flanders and into Scotland, where he shared in the honors of Falkirk on 22 July, 1298. In the 29th of the same reign he was one of the lords in Parliament of Lincoln, being styled Dominus de Alcester, who signified to the Pope, under their seals, the superiority of King Edward over the Kingdom of Scotland.  His lordship married Alice de Toney and had issue three sons: Walter, who succeeded his father and died sine prole, and was succeeded by his brother William, who also died without issue, and the           estates devolved upon the other brother, 1245 John De Beauchamp 1247 James De Beauchamp 1247 Thomas De Beauchamp 1239 - >1298 Joan de Beauchamp 59 59 1251 Sybil De Beauchamp 1253 - 1306 Sarah De Beauchamp 53 53 1255 - 1306 Isabel De Beauchamp 51 51 1185 William de Maudit Chamberlain of the exchequer, Baron of Hanslape ~1220 William de Maudit ~1154 - 1221 Robert De Mauduit 67 67 ~1187 - 1263 Alice de Newburgh 76 76 ~1134 - 1203 Waleran de Newburgh 69 69 Waleran de Newburgh, son of Roger, succeeded his brother William as 4th Earl of Warwick. Dugdale says' that this nobleman had much ado a great part of his time touching his inheritance, there starting up one who feigned to be his brother, Earl William, deceased in the Holy Land, which occasioned him no little trouble and vexation; so that it is thought by some that the grant which he made to Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, then Chancellor of England, of the advowson of all the prebendaries belonging to the collegiate church in Warwick to hold during his life, was to purchase his favor in that weighty business. He married 1st Margery, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, and had Henry, his successor, Waleran and Gundred, 2nd Alice, daughter of John de Harcourt, and widow of John de Limisi, by whom he had an only daughter Alice. ~1146 Alice de Harcourt ~1118 - 1202 Sir Robert de Harcourt 84 84 Sir Robert de Harcourt, Knight, Sheriff of Warwick and Leicester in 1199-1201 and 1202, in which last year he died.

By this lady Sir Robert had issue: William, his heir; Oliver, who joined Louis, Prince of France, and his party against King John, but was made a prisoner at the battle of Lincoln; John, seated at Rodeley, County Lancaster; Robert married Dionysia, daughter of Henry Pipard. ~1121 Dionysia Pipard ~1120 Isabel De Camville ~1145 - 1223 Sir William de Harcourt 78 78 ~1147 Oliver de Harcourt ~1091 Henry Pipard ~1100 Ivo de Harcourt ~1120 Sir John de Harcourt ~1080 William de Harcourt William de Harcourt was Lord of Harcourt, Carleville and Beaufldel in France, and lord of the manor of Stanton-under-Bardon, in Leicestershire, England.

Of this nobleman we find further that being one of the barons-marchers he gave security to the king for his faithful services (with the other lords-marchers) until peace should be fully settled in the realm; and for better performance thereof gave up James, his younger son, as a hostage.

In 8th of Richard I, William de Brewere, Sheriff, gave account of 100 s. of Henry de Grey scutage for 5 knights' fees, because he was in the King's service beyond the sea. In 1st of Henry III, 1216, he had a grant of the manor of Grimston, County Nottingham, from Robert Bardolph, for his support of the King's service. This Robert Bardolph died 9th of Henry III, 1225, when the said Henry Grey, having married Isolda Bardolph, daughter of Hugh and niece of the said Robert, shared with Maud Bardolph and others all the lands of the said Robert.

John Neville's brother Alexander, was consecrated Archbishop of York at Westminster. June 4. 1374. His brother William was constable of Nottingham Castle. Neville was a friend of Wickliffe and one of the chiefest of his supporters, the Lollards. John was twice married: first, to Maud Percy, the dau. of Lord Henry Percy; and, secondly, to Elizabeth, the only dau. of William, Lord Latimer. He d. at Newcastle-on-Tyne, Oct. 17, 1388. In his will he was liberal in his donation to his employees and beneficent to the church.

During his early years he proved himself to be a true and loyal knight, serving faithfully in all positions in which he was placed. He was closely associated with John of Gaunt at the siege of Brest. When scandals relating to Lancaster abounded, Neville did not escape the storm of national indignation which broke over the court in 1376. The wrath of the parliament was in the first place directed against Richard Lyons and William Latimer, whose seat was at Danby in Cleveland. He was a Yorkshire neighbor of Neville, who was to take Latimer's dau. for his second wife. Latimer induced Neville to use threatening language to the Commons on his behalf, but he was impeached in three courts for buying up the King's debts, like Latimer; for suffering the troops to plunder and outrage at Southhampton in 1372; and for causing the loss of several Breton fortresses by neglecting to supply the full force of men he had undertaken to furnish. Against the two latter charges he defended himself with some force. On the first count, two accusations were brought against him, one of which the complainant attempted to withdraw at the last moment. It looks as if he had been tampered with by the accused or his friends. In 1378, he was sent as the King's lieutenant to Aquitaine, to treat with the King of Arragon, and was ordered to send a force to aid the King of Navarre, against Henry of Castile, whose throne was claimed by John of Gaunt. He is credited with having recovered eighty-three towns, castles, and forts during his licutenancy. During the remaining years of his life he was constantly employed on the Scotlish border as warden. His last days were embittered by the misfortunes of his brother, Archbishop Alexander, who, in 1387, was driven from his Sec and country. As late as March 20, 1388, he was placed in commission to treat for peace with Scotland. ~1351 Marmaduke De Lumley ~1362 - 14 MAR 1405/06 Thomas De Neville ~1358 Alice De Neville ~1427 - 1479 Catherine Chidiocke 52 52 ~1362 Iolande De Neville ~1367 Maud De Neville ~1369 Elizabeth De Neville ~1291 - 1367 Sir Ralph De Neville 76 76 Ralph Neville was son of Ralph Neville, third Baron of Raby, who d. 1331, and Eupherma de Clavering, dau. of John of Warkworth in Northumberland, Western Essex. Neville was a man of energy and King Edward kept him busily employed. He was socially and warmly attached to Lord Henry Percy. He advanced wool from his Yorkshire estates to furnish the King money, for which he was rewarded by many privileges. When David Bruce invaded England, in 1346, he and his eldest son joined William la Zouche, Archbishop of York, and shared in the victory of Neville's cross. After this the rest of his life was almost entirely spent on the frontiers. He d. in 1367. Neville m. Alice Audley, dau. of Sir Hugh. She survived him and m.

Born circa 1055 in Dublin, Ireland
Died in 1137 and inttered at Bangor Cathedral
Gruffydd ap Cynan married Angharad who was a daughter of Owain ap Edwin, Lord Tegeingl and a greatx2 granddaughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia and his wife Godgifu who was the famous "Lady Godiva" who rode nude on her horse through Coventry. See Lady Godiva for more information. ~1065 - 1162 Angharad Verch Owain 97 97 ~1110 - 1156 Gwenllian Verch Gruffydd 46 46 Sources: History of Morgan Family and Dictionary of National Biography.
Married (1) Cadwgan ap Bleddyn and (2) Gruffydd ap Rhys.
In 1136, Gruffydd ap Rhys, under attack in Gower, hurried into North Wales to obtain assistance from his brothers-in-law. His wife, meanwhile, "like an Amazon and a second Penthesilea," commanded his followers in the south. She was slain in battle by Maurice of London, Lord of Kidwelly. Morgan, one of her youthful sons by Gruffydd, perished with her, and a second, Maelgwn, was taken
prisoner. But Owain and Cadwaladr, sons of Gruffydd ap Cynan, now came down from the north, destroyed Aberstwith Castle, and in the second week of October they fought along with Gruffydd ap Rhys a great battle near Aberteivi (Cardigan), in which they won a decided victory over Stephen, constable of Aberteivi and "all the Flemings, all the marchers, and all the French from Abernedd to Aberteivi."

Gruffydd ap Rhys, Prince of Deheubarth...m. shortly after 1116, Gwenllian (killed 1136 while leading an attack on the troops of Maurice de Londres, lord of Kidwelly, where the field of battle is called Maes Gwenllian), daughter of the royal house of Gwynedd (whose mother was Ragnhildr, dau of the royal house of the Scandinavians of Dublin)... [Source 1] ~1095 - 1169 Owain Fawr ap Gruffydd 74 74 Owain Gwynedd ap Gruffydd, Prince of Gwynedd from 1137 until his death in 1170, took advantage of the troubled reign of King Stephen of England and seized some neigbouring territories.  In 1157, Henry II led an army into Wales and Owain acknowledged Henry II as overlord.  Owain kept all the territory he had gained with the exception of Tegeingl in the extreme north east.
Owain died on November 28, 1170 and was interred at Bangor Cathedral.

Owain married Gwladys, a daughter of Llywarch ap Trahaearn ap Cardogog whose father Trahaearn ap Cardogog had been killed in 1081 by Owain's father Gruffydd ap Cynan.  Apparently, our ancestors didn't hold long grudges over killings and murders, perhaps because these events were so common.

REF: "Yale Genealogy and History of Wales", 1908, Rodney Horace Yale p. 40: During King Stephen's reign of 17 years in England, he left Wales much to
itself and Owain materially added to the resources of his country & re-occupied several districts, which the Welsh had lost in former years. In the meantime however, he and Cadwaladr quarreld and the latter fled to England. Also during these years (C25) Rhys ap Gruffydd, a son of Gruffydd ap Rhun, who was son of Rhys ap Tewdwr, had won several comparatively important engagements and successes in the south.

This Danish Knight became allied through marriage with some of the foremost families of noble lineage in Europe. He had Gunnora, who married Richard, first Duke of Normandy, and they were the great grandparents of William, the Conqueror, whose daughter Gundred married Wm. Warren, No. 5 in this lineage.

This lordship subsequently occurs in the charter subjoined under the general name of Fulshaw, taken from the principal members of the fee, but soon after wards, as appears by an abstract of a charter in Fulshaw, was called the lordship of Bolyn, from the contiguous river of that name. At this period the whole parish formed one manor and vill under Sir Richard de Phitum, grantee of Fallybrome from Hugh de Kevelioc, and not improbably (from the correspondence of the armorial bearings of the Fittons to the Earl of Chester) a kinsman of his local sovereign.

[Dutton Coat of Arms] In the eleventh century, there were a number of people in Cheshire, England who could have called themselves De Dutton, the original family surname. That was because they all were de (from) Dutton which was originally known as Duntune, meaning town on a hill. However, it was Odard, who came to England in the train of William the Conqueror and was granted a third of the township in 10861, that first used it as his surname.

Odard probably wouldn't have been so fortunate if William the Counqueror hadn't been his great uncle and the Earl of Chester his uncle. It was the Earl, Hugh of Lupis that granted the land at Dutton to Odard. This is also why we know so much about Odard's ancestory. Both he and William were descended from Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. Rollo, in turn, was descended from the King of Finland as described in Scandanavian sagas. The direct male Dutton line continued for some 600 years.

The Warburtons claim consanguinity with the ancient blood-royal of England, being descended from Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy, through William, Earl of Eu, who married a niece of William the Conqueror. Richard, Duke of Normandy, (grand-son of Rollo) sur-named sans-peur, had Issue (besides his son Richard who succeeded him, his daughter Emma, Queen of England, and other children) two younger sons, Godfrey and William. To Godfrey, his father gave the earldoms of Eu and Brion. On His decease the latter earldom became the heritage of his posterity, branching out into the now extinct houses of the Earls of Clare and Pembroke, while William, the younger brother, succeeded him in the earldom of Eu. He had (besides others) his successor, Robert, father of William, who married a sister of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Avranches, (afterwards Earl of Chester) named Jeanne, and niece of William the Conqueror. There was Issue of this marriage (besides William's successor in the earldom of Eu and another child) six sons, named Nigel, Geffry, Odard or Huddard, Edard, Horswin and Wlofaith. These six brothers accompanied their uncle, Hugh Lupus, into England, in the train of William the Conqueror, their great-uncle; and on the establishment of the Norman power had various estates and honors conferred upon them. Nigel was created Baron of Halton and constable of Cheshire; Geffry was Lord of Stopfort; Odard, Lord of Dutton; Edard, Lord of Haselwell; Horswin, Lord of Shrigley; and Wlofaith, Lord of Halton. Odard, the third son, was the ancestor of the Duttons, now extinct in the male line; the Barons of Chedill, also extinct, and the Warburtons.

Hugh Sargent (Sariant), the earliest known ancestor of the family, lived in Courteenhall, County of Northampton. Courteenhall was the inheritance of the Wake family, which traces its descent back to Hereward the Wake, to a time anterior to the Norman Conquest. It is five and a quarter miles southerly from the town of Northampton, and in 1831 contained one hundred and forty-four inhabitants. The church is dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

Prefixed to the first volume of the parish register, which begins in the year 1538, and folded to its size, is a large piece of parchment, on which is very neatly transcribed many pedigrees. One of them is of the family of Sargent. There can be no doubt that this piece of work, which is both most useful and rare, was written by a former rector, who had at first hand the facts which he recorded.

The rector of the church, Rev. Archibald Wake (1895) says, "The parchment shows that the family were in Courteenhall in 1554, and were of gentle blood; and possibly the Sargents were in the parish before a Wake entered it."

Hugh Sargent must have been born about the year 1530. He died Feb. 23, 1595/6, (buried 1st of March).

That he heeded the Scripture injunction, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth," is evidenced by the fact that he was the father of fifteen children, the eldest having been born in 1556, and the youngest in 1579.

Andrews Moriarty, Jr., A.M., LL.B., of Newport, R.I., and communicated by the Committee on English Research (appearing in Vol. 75, Jan. 1921, New England Historic and Genealogical Register, p. 59):

In the "Sargent Genealogy," published in 1895 by the late Aaron Sargent of Somerville, Mass., the ancestry of WIlliam Sargent, one of the early settlers of Malden, Mass., is carried back to his grandfather, Hugh Sargent of Courteenhall, co. Northampton, England; but the statements about the English Sargents printed in this book contain several errors, the documentary evidence on which these statements are based is omitted, and comparatively little information is given about the ancestry of Margaret Gifford, wife of Hugh Sargent and grandmother of the New England immigrant. ~1535 - 28 FEB 1593/94 Margaret Gifford Margaret, wife of Hugh Sargent, was daughter of Nicholas and Agnes (Masters) Gifford, of the Abbey of St. James, which was a western suburb of the town of Northampton. This abbey was a religious estate of considerable note, founded before the year 1112, by William Peverel, natural son of William the Conqueror, and to which he (Peverel) gave forty acres of land. It is called St. James End.

From the section titled "Genealogical Research in England: Gifford-Sargent - From A Genealogical Chart in the Parish Registers of Courteenhall, Co. Northampton"; Contributed by G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr., A.M., LL.B., of Newport, R.I., and communicated by the Committee on English Research (appearing in Vol. 75, Jan. 1921, New England Historic and Genealogical Register, p. 59):

The following pedigree, based on the records already given in this article and on other records and authorities cited below, shows the descent of William Sargent of Malden, Mass., from John Gifford le Boef of Twyford, co. Bucks, in 1277, and traces the probable ancestry of John Gifford le Boef to Osbern de Bolebec, a Norman lord, whose sons settled in England in the time of William the Conqueror. It corrects in some important particulars the account of the family of the Giffards of Twyford contained in the late Maj. Gen. the Hon. George Wrottesley's "Giffards from the Conquest to the Present Time," published in 1902 in the Collections of The William Salt Archaeological Society, New Series, vol. 5, as well as certain errors in the printed Visitations of Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire and in the pedigree entered in the Heralds' College in the reign of Queen Elizabeth by Thomas Gifford, son of Sir George. It supplies, also, some corrections and additions to the Gifford pedigree published in the Register, vol. 71, pages 174-175, and includes the corrections which, as is found by an examination of the registers of the parishes of All Saints, Northampton, and of Courteenhall, should be made in the statements about the English Sargents in the early part of the "Sargent Genealogy."

The Giffard-Gifford family is one of the most ancient and distinguished families of England. Planche, in his work entitled "The Conqueror and his Companions," describes Walter Giffard the Elder (vide infra, 1, i) as "the progenitor of a race from which the noblest families in England may be proud to trace their descent." The Gifford family of Twyford, co. Bucks, which sprang from a cadet of the great house of Brimsfield, co. Gloucester, was one of the most ancient families of the Buckinghamshire gentry. During the Middle Ages members of this family held lands in capite and served as high sheriffs, knights of the shire, commissioners of the peace, and arrayers for the French wars. They also did their part in the Scottish, Welsh, and French wars. In the Wars of the Roses they appear to have adhered to the House of York. In Tudor times George Gifford, of the younger branch, settled at Middle Claydon, co. Bucks, was the right-hand man of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex, in the dissolution of the monasteries, and saw to it that his family profited by his activities and that his brothers were well provided for out of the monastic spoils.

In the early history of the Twyford family its fortunes were greatly increased by the marriage of Sir John Gifford le Boef (vide infra, 11), about the year 1300, with Alexandra de Gardinis, heiress of the De Gardinis family, which brought to its part of the lands of the ancient Norman house of De Arsic, one of whose coheiresses was the great-grandmother of Alexandra and a descendant of William de Arsic, one of the eight knights appointed by William de Fiennes, in the reign of William the Conqueror, to the custody or guard of Dover Castle. By the marriage of Thomas Gifford of Twyford (vide infra, 15) with Alianora Vaux the family became connected with the great Lancastrian family of Vaux of Harrowden, co. Northampton, one of whose members was raised to the peerage by Henry VIII. In the reign of Elizabeth the younger branches sank into the ranks of the minor gentry and merchant class, one of the daughters marrying into the mercantile family of the Sargents of Courteenhall and Northampton, from which sprang William Sargent, the settler in Malden, Mass. ~1508 - 1546 Nicholas Gifford 38 38 On 20 OCT 1530 Nicholas Gifford was recommended to Thomas Cromwell by John Plauden, "late clerk of the lands of Woolsley's College, Oxford." (Letters Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII). In 1538 he was one of the gentlemen to attend upon the King's household when required. In that year he was called of Brynon, Northants. He was active in the work of dissolving the monasteries; and by letters patent, date 12 SEP 1545, the house and lands of the dissolved monastery of St. James, in the parish of Duston near Northampton, with the annual fair held there, were granted to him and his heirs, and he died seised thereof, Roger Gyfford, a minor, aged eighteen years and three months, being his son and heir (NEHGR, Vol. 74, p. 236). ~1510 - 1581 Agnes Anne Maisters 71 71 1462 - 23 JAN 1541/42 Roger Gifford Roger Gifford, Esquire

The Visitation of Northamptonshire states that Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon was son of Thomas Gifford of Twyford, co. Bucks, the testator of 1511; but the Harleian pedigree in the printed Visitation of Oxfordshire and also the pedigree of the Giffords of Middle Claydon i the Heralds' College make him the son of John and Agnes Gifford and therefore the brother of Thomas. The latter statement is clearly the correct one. Thomas Gifford, in his will, dated 10 OCT 1511 mentions only one son, Thomas, and his inquisition post mortem, of 10 NOV 1511, shows that this Thomas, the heir, was then aged thirty years and more, and therefore was born about 1481. The inquisition post mortem of Roger Gifford of Middle Claydon, of 22 NOV 1543, shows Thomas Gifford, son of Thomas, in his will, dated 2 NOV 1550, calls Roger's sons, George, William, Ralph, and John, his cousins; and in AUG 1538, in a complaint of injuries done to him by Roger Gifford and his sons, John, George, Ralph, William, and Nicholas, he calls them his kinsmen (Letters Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII, vol. 12, part 2, p. 96, 97).

On 24 FEB 1524 (1523/24?) Roger Gifford was commissioner of the peace in co. Bucks, and on 1 APR 1524 he was a collector of the subsidy for the French War (Letters Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII). In 1495 he leased the manor of Middle Claydon of the Verney family for ninety-nine years. In his will, dated 24 SEP 1538, he mentions his wife Mary, his sons John (eldest son), George (second son), Rauffe (third son), William (fourth son), and Nycholas (youngest son), and provides for the occupation of the manor of Middle Claydon by his sons.

The Will of Roger Gyfforde of Mydle Cleydon in the County of Bucks, Esquire, 24 September 1538. To be buried in the parish of All Saints in Mydle Cleydon. To the parson of said church, for tithes omitted and forgotten, 6s. 8d. To the mother church of St. Paul in London 3s. 4d. Whereas I hold the manor of Mydle Cleydon, with appurtenances, in the County of Bucks, of Raufe Verney of Penley in the County of Hertford, Esquire, by his deed dated 14 November, 27 Henry VIII [1535], for the term of ninety-five years yet to come, which lease I purchased for the living of Mary, my wife, if she overlive me, and for my own natural sons, I will and bequeath said lease to George Gyfforde, my second son, to John Gyfforde, my eldest son, to Rauffe Gyfforde, my third son, to William Gyfforde, my fourth son, and to Nycholas Gyfforde, my youngest son, provided that the manner and form of occupation of said manor shall be observerd as herein expressed: my son George solely to have the occupation of said farm and every commodity thereof for the term of forty-one years; but if said George die during the forty-one years, said grant is then to cease. Said George is to pay all rents and charges due by virtue of said lease, during his occupation thereof, and is also to pay my said son John Gyfforde during his occupation of said lease, at the two usual terms of the year, 20 pounds yearly, and if said John die, said George shall pay 20 pounds yearly, equally, divided among his brethren. After the decease of said George said John Gyfforde shall have the occupation of said farm of Cleydon during the term of forty-one years; or if said George's term of forty-one years expires, said John shall hold the lease for forty-one years; and for lack of him the next brother in age, and so the remainder to follow to my other sons until the last of my said sons; and when my last son surviving shall die, then any years remaining shall be granted by him to the heir male of my eldest son John, to have and to hold to him, his heirs and assigns, the residue of years yet to come. All my other leases I will to my son George Gyfforde, to be ordered in like manner and form as the lease of the aforesaid manor of Cleydon. If I have not, at the time of my decease, paid the 100 pounds I promised my son Nycholas Gyforde, then my executors shall pay said Nycholas 100 pounds within one year of my decease. My said son George shall give to my said wife Mary the annuity of 100 markes [?] and meat and drink for her and her maid. To my son John Gyfford 100 pounds.

[Signed] 2 December, 34 Henry VIII [1542], my mother Mary Gyfforde, William Smythe, John Mason, and Elyn Gyfforde being then present, on the Saturday in the morning, per me, George Gyfford, as commanded by my father, the said Roger, on the day and year last stated. Proved 8 February 1543/4 by Robert Alen, notary public, proctor for the relict, John Gyfford, George Gyfford, Rafe Gyfford, William Gyfford, and Nicholas Gyfford, the executors named, etc. (P.C.C., Pynnyng, 2). 1466 - >1542 Mary Nanseglos 76 76 1431 - 1506 John Gifford 75 75 John Gifford, Esquire

In 1479 and 1483, John Gifford was a commissioner of the peace. He appears to have adhered to Richard III. He was high sherriff of co. Bucks in 1497 (Lipscombe's History of Buckinghamshire, vol. 1, page xvi). On 24 NOV 1487 he granted his lands in Fringford, co. Oxford, to his son Thomas and his (Thomas's) wife Joan and their heirs (NEHGR, vol. 74, page 235 - In the abstract of the inquisition post mortem of Thomas Gifford, printed in NEHGR, vol. 74, p. 235, either "Thomas" should be substituted for "John" in the second line, or "Thomas Gifford" (or an equivalent expression) should be substituted for "himself" in the fifth line.) On 23 SEP, 22 Henry VII (1506), his son Thomas received license to enter, without proof of age, upon the lands of his father, John Gifford of Twyford, a tenant in chief (Calendar of Patent Rolls). 1439 Agnes Winslowe 1416 - 1463 Thomas Winslowe 47 47 1420 - 1458 Agnes Throckmorton 38 38 1382 - 1445 Sir John Throckmorton 63 63 1385 - >1466 Eleanor De La Spine 81 81 1356 - >1411 Thomas De Throckmorton 55 55 1360 Agnes De Besford 1329 - <1404 Alexander De Besford 75 75 1333 - 1404 Beatrice De Thornton 71 71 1297 John De Besford ~1318 Joan De Harley ~1320 Alice De Harley ~1480 Anne Charlton 1260 Alexander De Besford 1276 Beatrice De Thornden 1251 John De Thornden ~1300 Egidia Greig 1230 - 12 JAN 1266/67 Alexander De Besford 1234 Margaret De Nauton 1210 Walter De Besford 1214 Helen 1185 Vivian De Besford 1189 Miss De Nafford ~1160 Osbert De Nafford 1135 Vivian De Besford 1335 Robert De Throckmorton 1334 Lucy Coleman 1309 Giles De Throckmorton 1314 Agnes Abberbury 1271 - 1335 Robert De Throckmorton 64 64 1282 - 1315 Joan De Weston 33 33 1251 Simon De Throckmorton 1255 Isabel De Donnisley 1231 Robert De Throckmorton 1235 Prudence De Compton 1212 - 1246 Adam De Throckmorton 34 34 1215 Matilda De Dersinton 1172 Robert De Throckmorton 1146 John De Throckmorton 1389 - 1426 William Winslowe 37 37 1379 - 1443 Agnes Poure 64 64 1346 - 1398 Thomas Poure 52 52 1350 - 1443 Joan 93 93 1321 William Poure 1296 - <1338 Richard Poure 42 42 1271 - 1316 William Poure 45 45 1275 - >1332 Margery Chasteleyn 57 57 ~1220 - >1275 John Poure 55 55 1179 - 1219 Hugh Poure 40 40 1183 Katherine 1138 Walter Poure 1143 Matilda 1333 - 1387 John Winslowe 54 54 1337 - 1409 Mary Crouchman 72 72 1300 William Wiyncelowe 1408 - 1469 Thomas Gifford 61 61 1405 - ~1470 Eleanor De Vaux 65 65 1370 - 1405 William De Vaux 35 35 1374 - <1454 Eleanor Drakelowe 80 80 1350 - 1378 Thomas Drakelowe 28 28 1356 - >1380 Ankeret De Salford 24 24 1354 - 1401 William De Vaux 47 47 1344 Joan Thirning 1318 John Thirning 1321 - <1373 William De Vaux 52 52 1325 Joan 1269 - 1330 Elias De Vaux 61 61 1274 Elizabeth De Hastings 1242 Roger De Vaux 1250 Alice De St. Liz 1222 Adam De St. Liz 1229 Iseud Beckingham 1194 - 1275 Oliver De Vaux 81 81 1367 - 1409 Roger Gifford 42 42 1365 - ~1440 Esebella Stretele 75 75 ~1332 - 1394 Sir Thomas Gifford 62 62 1339 - 1367 Elizabeth Demissenden 28 28 1301 - 1368 John Gifford 67 67 1305 - 1361 Lucy De Morteyn 56 56 1270 - 1328 John "Le Boef" Gifford 58 58 1279 - 1328 Alexandra De Gardinis 49 49 ~1165 - 1200 John Maltrevors 35 35 1188 - 1237 Osbert Giffard 49 49 1211 - 1242 Isabel De Bokland 31 31 1130 - 1190 Elias III Helias Giffard 60 60 1160 - >1190 Maud de Berkeley 30 30 30 JAN 1554/55 Elizabeth Sargent ~1556 Anna Sargent 1559 Nicholas Sargent 1565 Mary Sargent 1566 John Sargent ~1564 Jane Sargent 1562 - 1649 Roger Sargent 87 87 ~1567 Alice Sargent ~1569 Thomas Sargent 1573 George Sargent 1574 Magdeline Sargent 1575 Robert Sargent 1576 Michael Sargent 8 FEB 1577/78 Dorothy Sargent ~1280 - 1346 Sir John De Morteyn 66 66 ~1280 Joan De Rothwell ~1245 John De Morteyn ~1250 Joan Gobion ~1215 Hugh Gobion ~1220 Matilda ~1178 - 1230 Richard Gobion 52 52 ~1180 Agnes De Merlay ~1143 Roger De Merlay ~1145 - 1202 Alice De Stuteville 57 57 ~1120 Ralph De Merlay ~1485 - 1558 John Maisters 73 73 Merchant

Mayor of Sandwich, a warden of the Cinque Ports, and a member of Parliament (NEHGR, Vol. 71, p. 175).

Died between 24 AUG 1558 and 14 JUN 1559

According to Burke's Landed Gentry of Great Britain, tenth edition, p. 1078, John Master is first mentioned in 1520, was mayor of Sandwich in 1528, 1543, 1552, and 1556; was a warden of the Cinque Ports and as such was one of the bearers of the canopy of Queen Anne Boleyn at her coronation, and was a baron of Parliament for Sandwich in 1544 and 1554. King Henry VIII granted to him the manor of East Langdon, co. Kent. Apparently his sons Thomas and Peter and his daughter Agnes were children by his first wife, and James and John were sons by his second wife. For this family see Burke's Landed Gentry and Philipott's Visitation of the County of Kent, taken in the year 1619, London, 1863, p. 44-48

[Thomas Gifford, of Twyford, co. Bucks, the testator of 1511, and Roger Gyfforde, of Middle Claydon, co.

He was born 1300, and in 15th of Edward II, 1322, making proof of his age, had livery of his lands; and in the 1st of Edward III, 1326, was in the wars of Scotland. In 6th of the same reign, upon some difference between his lordship and William le Zouch of Harringworth, another great baron, which was heard before the King, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew a knife upon Lord Zouche in the royal presence, where-upon both lords were committed to prison; but Lord Zouche was soon 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 in the retinue of Henry, Earl of Lancaster. From this period for several years he was engaged in the French wars, and in 20th of Edward III he obtained license to improve his houses at Rotherfield, County Oxford, and Sculcotes, County York, with embattled walls of lime and stone. The next year, there being a tournament held at Etham, in Kent, amongst other accourtments prepared for that military exercise, his lordship had a hood of white cloth, embroidered with dancing men, in blue habits, buttoned before with pearls, very large, presented to him by the King. In 26th of Edward III, 1352, he was one of the commissioners in the Counties of Oxford and Berks, for arranging and arraying and arming all men of ability within those shires, and leading them against the King's enemies, invasion by the French being threatened at that time. In the next year he was steward of the King's household, and had a summons to Parliament from 1326 to 1359, inclusive. His lordship, in his minority, was not in possession of his lands, and they were granted to various persons by the crown, and an inspection of Hardwick and Rotherfield was ordered as far back as 1317, to safeguard his interests. When he was summoned to Parliament, by writ directed to Johanni de Crey, whereby he became Lord Grey. He married 1st Katherine, daughter of Bryan FitzAlan, and had a son John, his successor, and a daughter Maud. He married 2nd Avice, sister and co-heir of Robert, Lord Marmion, son and daughter of John, Lord Marmion. Robert Marmion died sine prole; being of infirm constitution, he was never summoned to Parliament. He arranged for the marriage of his younger sister Avice to Sir John Grey, upon condition that the issue of Sir John and Avice should bear the name of Marmion. At her brother's death the barony of Marmion of Witrington fell into abeyance between the two sisters, but Joan, the elder sister, married Lord Bernack, and died without issue. ~1240 - 1295 Robert de Grey 55 55 ~1250 - 1312 Joan de Valoines 62 62 ~1225 - ~1275 Thomas de Valoines 50 50 ~1210 Walter de Grey ~1215 Isabel de Duston ~1185 William de Duston ~1318 - 20 MAR 1377/78 Avice De Marmion ~1336 - 1367 Sir Robert de Grey 31 31 ~1339 Maud de Grey ~1287 - 1335 Lord John De Marmion 48 48 ~1292 - 20 FEB 1359/60 Maud Furnival 1246 - 1332 Lord Thomas Furnival 86 86 1258 - 1340 Joan le Despencer 82 82 ~1262 - 1322 John Marmion 60 60 ~1244 Lorette De Chilham ~1236 - 1275 William Marmion 39 39 ~1200 Robert V de Marmion ~1207 Avice de Tanfield ~1225 - 1305 Hugh De Weston 80 80 Joan ~1259 Richard De Weston ~1231 Sarah De Stretton ~1225 Richard De Stretton ~1195 Hugh 'The Palmer' De Weston ~1199 Matilda De Betterton ~1230 William De Weston 1175 Homo De Betterton Alice ~1169 - 1227 John De Weston 58 58 ~1196 John De Weston ~1197 Henry De Weston ~1200 Nicholas De Weston ~1202 William De Weston ~1137 Hamo De Weston ~1141 Agnes ~1171 Robert De Weston ~1172 Osbert De Weston ~1175 Homo Hayes De Weston ~1113 - 1167 Robert De Weston 54 54 ~1073 Ralph Fitz Urnoi de Weston ~1047 Urnoi de Weston 1236 John De Hastings 1265 John De Hastings 1208 Petronilla De Croun 1230 - 1287 John de Vaux 57 57 1170 Wido De Croun 1186 Isabella Basset 1178 - ~1263 Alice Mabel Basset 85 85 ~1180 Phillippa Basset This countess, outliving his lordship, paid 100 marks to King Henry III that she might not be compelled to marry again, but that she might select her own husband, provided he were a loyal subject.

This is covered in Chapter XVIII of "The House of Stanley". Holt is on the river Dee and just over the bridge from Farndon in Cheshire.

Sir William Stanley of Holt in Denbighshire was the second son of Thomas the 1st Baron Stanley (1405-59). His elder brother was Thomas (1432-1504) who became the 2nd Baron Stanley and then the 1st Earl of Derby in 1485. Sir William supported the house of York in the Battle of Blore Heath in 1459. In 1461, Edward IV made Sir William Stanley the Chamberlain of Chester and Sheriff of Flintshire. He fought for the Yorkists at Hexham in 1466 and was given the Lordship and Castle of Skipton in Yorkshire which he subsequently exchanged for Chirk. He obtained additional land following the battle of Towton. After the battle of Tewkesbury in 1471 he took the news to Queen Margaret of her son's death and then took her to Coventry.

Edward IV's successor, Richard III, courted Sir William's support by various grants of manors and by appointing him Chief Justice for North Wales and Chief Commissioner for Shropshire. Sir William was suspicious of Richard because of the disappearance of the two princes and changed his allegiance to Henry Tudor. At the Battle of Bosworth Field, Sir William Stanley rescued Henry Tudor at a critical moment in the battle, struck down the King and is said to have found his crown in a thorn bush. He handed the crown to his elder brother Thomas who put it on the head of Henry Tudor. Henry VII appointed Sir William Stanley the Lord Chamberlain and Knight of the Garter and granted him additional lands that made him the richest commoner in England. Sir William's wealth and power inevitably attracted enemies and he was disappointed that his services had not led to a peerage. In 1489 he became Constable of Caernarvon and Beaumaris, and in 1490 Henry VII gave him the Lordships of Bromfield, Chirk and the castles of Dinas Bran, Holt and Chirk in confirmation of earlier grants of the latter two by Richard III.

Sir William as Lord Chancellor was arbitrator in the dispute between Sir John Stanley of Elford and his half-brother Sir Humphrey, mentioned above. He then bought the manors of Aldford and Nether Alderley in Cheshire from Sir John. Sir William was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1494, on suspicion of being involved in the rebellion of Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be the younger of the "princes in the tower" and therefore heir to Edward IV. At that time it was not known that the sons of Edward IV had both been murdered. Although Sir William had helped put Henry VII on the throne he was known to have been a strong supporter of Edward IV. He was quoted as saying that if Perkin Warbeck was the son of Edward IV he would not fight against him. This, and his unwillingness to confirm or deny his guilt, was sufficient to see him executed at the Tower on 16 February 1495.

Chapter XLII deals with the Stanleys of Elford in Staffordshire. Here were learn that Sir Thomas Stanley was the third son of Sir John Stanley of Lathom in Lancashire. Sir Thomas was High Sheriff of Staffordshire from 1433 to to 1438, and a privy councillor from 1453-54. He married firstly in 1438 to Maud the daughter and heiress of Sir John Arderne who lived from 1378-1408. As a consequence Sir Thomas acquired extensive lands of the Arderne family in Staffordshire, Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire and Cheshire. The Cheshire estates were at Aldford, Nether Alderley and Etchells near Northenden. The direct male line died out in 1508 on the death of his grandson, Sir John Stanley. It is said that Henry Tudor stayed at Sir John's house at Elford en route from Lichfield to the Battle of Bosworth field at which he defeated Richard III and became Henry VII. Sir John sold the estates of Aldford, Etchells and Nether Alderley to Sir William Stanley of Holt ( see below) and these estates were forfeited to the crown in 1495. In 1602, Nether Alderley was purchased by Sir Thomas Stanley of Over Alderley.

He added three garbs to the fesse, and was called Old sur Ralphe [or "Sir Ralph the Old"]. ~1245 Margaret De Sandbach ~1205 Margery De Thornton 1203 Sir William II Brereton It is said that a valet had the audacity to interrupt Sir William at dinner, whereupon seeing his master's anger, fled upstairs; but Sir William pursued him there and in his ungovernable rage, murdered him.
Sir William, in fear and consternation of the deed and its probable consequences, went to London to plead for pardon with the King, for the royal authority was great in those days. Sir William went on his knees before the King and confessed his crime. The King was obdurate and refused to pardon him immediately, but offered to give him a chance. He said he would allow Sir William three days in which to invent a muzzle for a bear; if it proved efficacious, his life would be spared, if not -- well, the bear would provide his punishment!

For three days Sir William was shut up in the tower. At the end of that time he was brought before a bear. The bear was let loose. The prisoner flung his newly invented muzzle over its head and escaped unharmed.

From that time the muzzled bear became the emblem of the Breretons.

(In olden days, bear baiting was a popular form of sport and the bear wore a leather muzzle to prevent it from biting the dog.)

Sir William de Brereton, heir to his father, by deed without date,
  receives from Randle de Torhaunt, later called Thornton, in frank marriage
  with his daughter Margery, all the rents which Thomas de Warin
  held from Peter de Torhaunt, father of the said Randle, in Middlewich
  Hundred. This Randle de Torhaunt must have been Randle le Roter,
  Lord of Thornton, who became possessed of the Manor of Thornton and
  is stated by Collins to have been a son of David le Clerk, Secretary to
  Randle Blundeville, Earl of Chester. Randle assumed the name of le
  Roter, and also of Thornton from his place of residence, and is sometimes
  designated by both. Randle Thornton died before the 28th of
  Henry III, having married Amicia, daughter of Richard Kingsley and his
  wife Joan, daughter and co-heiress of Alexander Sylvester, Lord of
  Stourton and Forester of Wirral, and had a son Ranulph, who died sine
  prole, and 5 daughters: Amicia, Emma, Agnes, Joan and Margaret, of
  whom Amicia, the eldest, was mother of Margery Thornton, wife of Wm.

Crusader - 1193

William de Mowbray, Surety for the Magna Charta, 3rd Baron by tenure, eldest son, who was of age in 1194. He was early embittered against King John by being compelled by him to surrender the Barony of Front-Beouf (which Henry I had conferred upon his grandfather, Sir Nigel d'Albini) to a descendant of the original owner. This was probably because Mowbray, upon the accession of King John, was tardy in pledging his allegiance, and at length only swore fealty upon condition that the "King should render every man his right." At the outbreak of the Baronial War he was Governor of York Castle, and it is not surprising that he at once sided with the barons against King John, and was one of the most forward of them. He was selected one of the Sureties for the Magna Charta and was a party to the "Covenant for holding the City and Tower of London" and one of those whom the Pope Innocent III excommunicated by name. He died in 1223-4 at his castle in the Isle of Axlholme and was buried in the Abbey of Newburgh in Yorkshire. He married Agnes d'Albini, daughter of William d'Albini. ~1294 - 1311 Aline Aliva De Braose 17 17 ~1151 Alan De Sylvester ~1201 Thomas de Baumville ~1235 Nichola de Pulford ~1125 Robert de Pulford ~1275 - 1322 William VI De Braose 47 47 ~1275 Aliva Moulton ~1250 Thomas Moulton ~1240 William V De Braose ~1202 John De Braose ~1295 - 1349 Margaret Wake 54 54 1310 - 1361 John de Mowbray 50 50 Lord Of Axholm, Bramber & Gower.

John de Mowbray, 3rd Baron Mowbray of Axlholme, married Joan Plantagenet, daughter of Henry Plantagenet and his wife Maud de Chaworth, son of Edmund, Earl of Lancaster and his wife Blanche (daughter of Robert of Artois, son of Louis VIII, King of France), son of Henry III, King of England. (Joan is also descended from Hugh and Roger Bigod, Sureties. for Magna Charta.)

This nobleman served in the expedition made into Flanders in the retinue of John, Duke ofLancaster, in the 27th Edward III [1354], and in the 1st RichardII [1377] was in the wars of France. The next year he was in the garrison of Berwick, under Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, its governor. His lordship subsequently obtained license to travel beyond sea, and returning in the 8th Richard II [1385],had leave to go abroad again for the vindication of his honour, having received some affront from a knight in France. He seems to have come home solely to procure letters testimonial vouching for his credit and reputation. After this we find him in the Scottish wars, and in the 19th of the same reign, he was ambassador to Scotland, where, during his sojourn, being at a banquet where deeds of arms becoming the subject of conversation, his lordship exclaimed, "Let words have no place; if ye know not the chivalry and valiant deeds of Englishmen, appoint me a day and place when ye list, and ye shall have experience." This challenge was immediately accepted by David, Earl of Crawford, and London Bridge appointed as the place of combat. The battle was fought on St. George's Day, and the Scottish earl was declared victor. Indeed, he displayed such an extraordinary degree of prowess, that notwithstanding the spear was broken upon his helmet and visage, he remained so immovably fixed in his saddle that the spectators cried out that in defiance of the laws of arms, he was bound thereto. Whereupon he dismounted and got up again and ran a second course, but in the third, Lord Welles was unhorsed and flung to the ground, on which Crawford dismounting, embraced him that the people might understand that he had no animosity, and the earl subsequently visited his lordship with great courtesy until his recovery. Of this Lord Welles nothing further in known than the period of his decease, anno 1421; although for eight years afterwards summonses appear to have been regularly issued to his lordship. But there are other instances upon record of summonses having been directed to barons after their deaths, probably from ignorance that the decease occurred. Lord Welles m. Margaret, or Eleanor, dau. of John, Lord Mowbray, and had two daus., Margaret, and Anne. He was s. by (the son of his deceased eldest son, Eudo, by his wife, Maude, dau. of Ralph, Lord Greystock) his grandson, Sir Leo, or Lionel de Welles. ~1387 - <1421 Eudo de Welles 34 34 1305 - 1344 Robert de Clifford 38 38 1274 - 1314 Robert de Clifford 40 40 1333 - 1389 Roger de Clifford 56 56 1406 - 1461 Sir Lionel de Welles 55 55 Sir Leo, or Lionel de Welles, as 6th baron, summoned to parliament from 25 February, 1432, to 30 July, 1460. This nobleman received the honour of knighthood in the 4th Henry VI[1426] from the Duke of Bedford at Leicester, with the young king himself and divers other persons of rank. His lordship for several years after served with great honour in France and was made lieutenant of Ireland for seven years in the 16th of thesame reign. When the fatal feud between the houses of York and Lancaster broke out, Lord Welles arrayed himself under the banner of the latter, and adhering to his colours with unbending fidelity, fell at the battle of Towton field on Palm Sunday,1461. His remains were deposited in Waterton Chapel, at Methley, co. York. His lordship m. 1st, Joan, or by some accounts,Cecilia, only dau. of Sir Robert Waterton, of Waterton andMethley, co. York, and sister and heir of Sir Robert Waterton,also of Waterton, Knt., and had issue, Richard, Alianore,Cecily, Margaret, and Catherine. Lord Welles m. 2ndly, Margaret,sister and heir of Sir John Beauchamp, of Bletshoe, and widow of John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset (by whom she was mother ofMargaret, Countess of Richmond, mother of King Henry VII) andhad another son, John, created Viscount Welles. An attainder followed his lordship's decease, under which the Barony of Welles became forfeited. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant,Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London,England, 1883, p. 572, Welles, Barons Welles]

The rolls of parliament show that, in the first year of HenryVII [1485], a statute passed finally reversing all acts of attainder or forfeiture which had ever been enacted aginst the Barony of Welles. ~1368 Philippa De Clifford 1389 - 1436 Sir John De Greystoke 47 47 ~1160 William de Warenne ~1130 Adelia de Mowbray ~1055 Lord of Skipwith Hugh ~1025 Thane of the Saxons Baldric ~1220 - 1276 Joane De Stuteville 56 56 This Joane de Wake used a seal the impression of which was a woman on horseback, riding sidewise, and holding a bridle in her right hand. Wherefrom it seems she most probably first began that custom now common (This book was published in 1807.--E. E. W.), which, if so, the historians are in error who make Anne, Queen of Richard II (1377-1399), to have first introduced that fashion. Joane died in 4th of Edward I, 1276, seized of the Barony of Liddel, in County Cumberland, having outlived her husband, Hugh de Wake. (She lived approximately 100 years before Richard II, so riding sidewise was in use about 1250.) ~1210 Hugh de Wake Hugh Wake, who at the death of his uncle William de Bruere, sine prole, in the 17th of Henry III, 1233, succeeded to his property. This Hugh died August 21, 1246, and is buried at Jerusalem in the Church of the Sepulchre. He married Joane, daughter and eventual heiress of Nicholas D'Estoteville or Stuteville, Lord of Liddell, who survived him and married 2nd Hugh Bigod. 1222 Margaret De Stuteville ~1241 - 1263 Baldwin de Wake 22 22 Baldwin, Lord Wake, died 1263, and his heart was buried at Deeping. This feudal lord, who took up arms with the barons in the reign of Henry III, and was made prisoner at the storming of the Castle of Northampton, in the 48th of that monarch's reign, but afterwards participated in the success of his party at Lewes. He was again taken prisoner with young Simon de Montfort, at Kenilworth, but by some means or other effected his escape, and was with Robert Ferrers, Earl of Derby, under whom he fought at the Battle of Chesterfield, but had the good fortune to escape with his life. He subsequently submitted to the king, and received a pardon with restitution of his lands. He married Hawise de Quincey, daughter and co-heir of Robert de Quincey and Helen (daughter of Llewellyn, Prince of Wales); son of Saire de Quincey and Margaret de Bellomont; daughter of Robert de Bellomont and Parnel or Petronella (daughter and co-heir of Hugh de Grentesmenil); son of Robert de Bellomont and Itta; daughter of Ralph de Gaudiar, Earl of the East Angles, and his wife Emma, who was descended from Ralph de Iveri, one of the followers of the Conqueror. ~1240 - 1320 Lord Wake John 80 80 John, Lord Wake, who was summoned to Parliament as a Baron Oct. 1, 1295, and from that period until Dec. 29, 1299. This nobleman was engaged in the Scottish wars of Edward I, and in the 27th of that monarch his lordship was one of the commissioners assigned to see to the fortifications of the Castles of Scotland, and guarding of the Marshes. They had two sons, John, eldest and heir, who lived not long, so that Thomas, his 2nd son, became heir to the honour and the estates, but he too died sine prole on May 31, 1350, in 23rd of Edward III, leaving his sister Margaret the sole surviving heir. John Wake married Joane ~1267 Robert de Fiennes 1328 - 1385 Joane Plantagenet 56 56 Known as "The Fair Maid of Kent" 1321 Joan Plantagenet Edmund Plantagenet John Plantagenet Margaret Plantagenet 27 JAN 1364/65 - 1372 Edward Plantagenet 6 JAN 1366/67 - 6 JAN 1399/00 Richard II Plantagenet Richard II, born in 1367, was the son of Edward, the Black Prince and Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent. Edward was but ten years old when he succeeded his grandfather, Edward III ; England was ruled by a council under the leadership of John of Gaunt , and Richard was tutored by Sir Simon Burley. He married the much-beloved Anne of Bohemia in 1382, who died childless in 1394. Edward remarried in 1396, wedding the seven year old Isabella of Valois, daughter of Charles VI of France, to end a further struggle with France.

Richard asserted royal authority during an era of royal restrictions. Economic hardship followed the Black Death, as wages and prices rapidly increased. Parliament exacerbated the problem by passing legislation limiting wages but failing to also regulate prices. In 1381, Wat Tyler led the Peasants' Revolt against the oppressive government policies of John of Gaunt. Richard's unwise generosity to his favorites - Michael de la Pole, Robert de Vere and others - led Thomas, Duke of Gloucester and four other magnates to form the Lords Appellant. The five Lords Appellant tried and convicted five of Richard's closest advisors for treason. In 1397, Richard arrested three of the five Lords, coerced Parliament to sentence them to death and banished the other two. One of the exiles was Henry Bolingbroke, the future Henry IV . Richard travelled to Ireland in 1399 to quell warring chieftains, allowing Bolingboke to return to England and be elected king by Parliament. Richard lacked support and was quickly captured by Henry IV.

Deposed in 1399, Richard was murdered while in prison, the first casualty of the Wars of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster and York. ~1349 Edmund Holland ~1360 - 9 JAN 1398/99 Sir John Holand Earl of Huntington ~1352 Alianore Holland ~1354 Margaret Holland ~1356 Joane Holland ~1357 Eleanor Holland ~1358 Elizabeth Holland ~1359 Bridget Holland 1334 - 22 MAR 1368/69 Peter "The Cruel" ~1305 - 1369 Richard de Stafford 64 64 Richard Stafford, Baron Stafford, of Clifton, m.

After the death of his father, who was murdered by the son of Giroie, he and his brother Richard, who was ancestor of the de Clares, took refuge at the court of the Duke of Flanders. Duke William afterwards restored to Baldwin his estates of Meules and Sap, and to Richard FitzGilbert his estates of Bienfaite and Orbec, portions of their father's lands. Baldwin received from the Conqueror some 150 lordships in Devonshire, Hemington and Parlock and Apley in Somerset, and Iwerne in Dorset. Okehampton was the capital seat of his barony. He was Sheriff of Dorset 1080-1086 probably until his death. (After the Conquest the sheriffs were still the King's representatives in the county. As the King was nearly absolute, the sheriff was very powerful. The sheriff had important duties: 1. Finance. He farmed the shire at a fixed sum a year. 2. Justice. He was the King's representative in the shire court, and he sat there as president, or as a royal judge. 3. War. It was the duty of the sheriff to summon the forces of the county. The great lords led their own retainers, but the sheriff led all the rest of the troops.--Montague's Elements of English Constitutional History. E. E. W. Very different from modern sheriffs. This was from a textbook at Washington University.) In Domesday Book he is called Baldwin of Exeter, or Baldwin, the Sheriff. He married Emma or Albreda, niece of the Conqueror. He died 1090. They had Robert, Richard and William.

dau. of General Thomas above mentioned, became at his death Countess of Salisbury.

She m. Sir Richard Nevil, who in her right became Earl of Salisbury. He was the eldest son of Ralph, first Earl of Westmoreland He followed the York party, was taken prisoner in a battle at Wakefield and beheaded. At his death, their eldest son, Richard Nevil, succeeded to the title of Earl of Salisbury, and, in right of his father, Earl of Warwick.

He was that Earl of Warwick, to whom the House of York owe their ascent to the throne. He also bore the titles of lord Monthermer, great chamberlain and High Admiral of England, lord Warden of the north marches toward Scotland and High Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster, and among his many titles, was also known as "the: King maker." He was a man of invincible courage and took delight in dangers, engaged his country in a fresh civil war in which he lost his life. He was slain at the battle of garnet, 14th April, 1471, though some authors affirm that he was murdered by his own party.

John Nevil, the younger of the two sons of Richard and Alice (Montague) Nevil, Earl of Salisbury, was 1st of Edward IV. created Baron Nevil of Montague, and 10th of the same reign, Marquis of Montague.

He was slain at the battle of garnet, (some say murdered) 147r, while endeavoring to succor his brother Richard, Earl of Warwick.

They were both laid in state at Westminster, London, and afterward were carried to Bisham Abbey and buried among their ancestors.

Richard Nevil, Earl of Salisbury and Warwick, had two daughters namely, Isabel, married to George, Duke of Clarence, and Anne, married first to Edward, Prince of Wales, son of Henry VI.; second to King Richard III.

George, Duke of Clarence, was murdered in a hogshead of wine,. leaving his wife Isabel with an only son Edward who was beheaded on Tower hill at the age of fifteen by order of Henry VII., and an only daughter Margaret who became Countess of Salisbury in right of her mother. She was the last Countess of Salisbury and with her death the title became extinct until revived in the person of Cecil, in the year 1605 by King James.

The title of Countess of Salisbury had been restored to Margaret by Henry VIII. in full parliament about the fifth year of his reign.

Both George, Duke of Clarence, (who was a brother of both King Richard III. and Edward IV.) and his unfortunate son, the young Edward, were taken to Bisham Abbey and buried among their ancestors. Margaret the last Countess of Salisbury, married Sir Richard Pole (also often spelled Poole), and had four sons and one daughter. Ursula, married Henry Stafford, son of the Duke of Buckingham. She was beheaded 27th of May, z3d of Henry VIII. The sons were, Henry Pole, created Baron Montague, Sir Arthur, Sir Jeffray, and Reginald Pole who was Dean of Winburne, then made a Cardinal by Pope Paul III., and afterward Archbishop of Canterbury. He was, for his religion, banished from England by King Henry VIII. He went to Rome and became eminent with Pope Paul III., at whose death he was unanimously chosen Pope, as. his successor. This he refused to accept. " Thereupon, one night the Cardinals came unto him, being in bed, and sent him word they came to adore him (which is one special kinde of electing the Pope) but he being awakened and made acquainted with it was firm in his refusal."-(Baker's Chronicles). The Cardinals remained with him all night.

Her son, Henry Pole, was made Baron Montague in 1504 by King Henry VII. He married Jane, dau. of Sir George Nevil, lord of Abergeveney. Being connected with a plot to re-instate his brother, Reginald, Cardinal Pole, he was beheaded upon Tower hill in 1538, together with his co-plotters and relatives, Henry Courtney, Marquis of Exeter, and Sir Edward Nevil. Sir Jeffry Pole was concerned in the same plot but gained his pardon by becoming informer. Sir Reginald the Cardinal was chosen to become the husband of Queen Mary (Bloody Mary) to whom he was much attached. He died the 18th November, 1558, on the next day after the death of Queen Mary. The mother, Margaret pole, Countess of Salisbury, now at the age of seventy years, was beheaded by Henry VIII. in the year 1541.

Anne, the other daughter of Richard Nevil, Earl of Salisbury, and Warwick, married as before stated King Richard III. '['hey had one only son Edward whom his uncle, King Edward IV., in the 17th year of his reign created Earl of Salisbury, and Richard his father, usurping the Kingdom, made Prince of Wales. He died young and his mother soon after died, not without suspicion of poison. While King Richard himself perished upon the field of Bosworth.

Thus in darkness and blood, and in a violent manner, upon the scaffold, perished the descendants of Alice Montague the gentle and only daughter of General Thomas Montague, fourth and last Earl of Salisbury of the name of Montague, and this branch so prolific in great men, who bathed all England in blood during the dissensions of the Houses of York and Lancaster, became extinct.

Their lineage has thus been traced to its final ending, not because it is supposed the American family were lineally descended from any of these personages who are so well known in history, but because they all lived previous to the year 1550, at which date the will of William Montague, from whom it is known that the American family are descended, was proved, and therefore it would not be out of place to mention their history as descendants of the Earls of Salisbury. 1428 - 1471 Richard XVI Neville 42 42 The Kingmaker 1424 Cecille De Neville 1426 - 1462 Joan De Neville 36 36 1430 Eleanor De Neville 1431 John Neville 1438 Margaret Neville 1442 Catherine Neville 1380 - 1428 Thomas IV De Montagu 48 48 SIR THOMAS MONTAGUE, Fourth Earl of Salisbury and eldest son of the 3d Earl, was only twelve years of age at his father's death. Though the great estate, of which the last earl had been possessed, was now forfeited, yet a considerable part of it was recovered before his son became of age and at last, in the reign of Henry V., he retained a reversion of his father's attainder and was restored in blood.

This noble Earl was concerned in so many military exploits, that to give an account of them all, would be to write the history of the reign of Henry V. Suffice to say, that as he lived so he died in the service of his Country, for, having been mortally wounded by a stone, shot from a cannon at the siege of Orleans, he was carried to Meun on the Loire where he departed this life in November, I428. He was twice married. First to Eleanor, dau. of Thomas Holland, sister of Edmond, Earl of Kent. Second to Alice, dau. of Thomas Chaucer. He had but one child, a daughter Alice. His body was brought to England and interred by the side of his ancestors in the Abbey at Bisham. ~1130 - <1130 Ingelrica Maud Peverell Matilda 1006 Ingelric of England ~1042 - <1103 Walter I Deincourt 61 61 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.

[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 439, Plessets, or Plessetis, Earl of Warwick, Baron Plessets] ~1237 Joan de Hoyville ~1206 - 25 FEB 1261/62 Sir John du Plessis 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. Lady Warwick survived her husband but a short time when the Earldom of Warwick and the great inheritance of the Newburghs reverted to her cousin, Waleran de Newburgh, son of her aunt, Lady Alice Mauduit. By his first wife, Christian, dau. and heir of Hugh de Sandford, he had issue, a son and heir, Hugh de Plessets.

He arrived in Chicago, Illinois in 1873 and stayed there for nine months, then went to New Prague, Minnesota for about 23 years. In 1897 they moved to Arland Township, Barron County, Wisconsin and he ran a sawmill with his sons Henry & Fred and farmed. He had 320 acres of land and built a big house and other farm buildings. In 1993 part part of house is still standing; we have pictures of it. John didn't learn to
speak English. At retirement he gave each of three sons 80 acres of his land and he and Marie and their daughter, Annie lived with their son, Otto until thier deaths. Their granddaughter, Edna Cornwell said the preachers and teachers often lived with the family as the house was very large. John is buried in Silver Creek Cemetery.

(Suff. I: 461) The nuncupative will of Ralph Roote mentions, as he had love and care of sonne and dau. Bolston with whom he lived, they to have all excepting ten shillings to his dau. Jeane Buttell (or Battell), and five shillings to his dau. at Lin. Proved 29 Mar. 1666.

(Suff. IV: 265) The inventory of the estate of Ralph Roote was taken 27 Mar. 1666 by Jacob Elliott and Theophilus ffrarye, and was presented by James Balston his son in law; it was less than œ22.

This verbal will does not mention his widow Mary, it was unnecessary to provide for her, as she was well taken care of by the estate of her first husband Thomas Ruggles.

His mother was the dau. of Thomas, Duke of Gloucester, and dau. of Edward III and Eleanor Bohun, dau. of the Earl of Hereford, Northampton and Essex. He was created Earl of Stafford at the death of his father who was killed at the battle of Shrewsbury, July 21, 1403. At the age of 22 he took a prominent position in the Council of Henry IV. In 1430 he was made Constable of France and Governor of Paris, and was Licutenant-General of Normandy until 1432. After the death of his mother he became Duke of Buckingham. This title was borne, during the war of the roses, by the noble family of Stafford. It descended to Humphrey through his mother who was daughter of the Duke of Gloucester, who was the youngest son of Edward the III. He inherited a number of large estates and became the owner of real estate in all sections of the country. He was ambitious in elevating his position as Duke and was jealous of any interference. He was prompt in securing recognition and full recompense for his services. He was killed at the battle of Northampton, July 10, 1460. In the battle of St. Albans, 1455, in which was shed the first blood in that domestic quarrel of thirty years' continuance, which required twelve pitched battles before it was brought to a close, cost the lives of eighty princes and almost annihilated the ancient nobility of England, was slain Humphrey, Earl of Stafford, eldest son of Humphrey, Duke of Buckingham. He was for a time estranged from Queen Margaret for the dismissal of his step brothers from their offices. But on the whole, his sympathies were with the royal parties. He had ideas of holding the balance of power between Margaret and the Duke of York. Humphrey was perhaps the greatest landholder in England. His estates lay all over central England from Holderness to Breeknoe, and from Stafford to Tunbridge. ~1362 - 1399 Alianore de Bohun 37 37 1368 - 1394 Mary De Bohun 26 26 1382 Humphrey Plantagenet 1384 Joan Plantagenet 12 MAR 1385/86 Isabel Plantagenet ~1389 Emma Plantagenet ~1424 - 1455 Humphrey de Stafford 31 31 ~1426 - 1481 Henry de Stafford 55 55 ~1437 Margaret Beaufort ~1408 - 1455 Edmund Beaufort 47 47 ~1410 - 6 MAR 1466/67 Eleanor de Beauchamp 1406 - 1431 Thomas De Ros 24 24 1427 - 1464 Thomas de Ros 36 36 9th Lord Ros. He was an ardent Lancastrian and had a grant of various manors belonging to Richard Neville, earl of Salisbury. He was regularly summoned to Parliament from January 2, 1448/49. In July, 1453, he was captain of the army to be set forth to sea. He fought in the first battle of St. Albans, May 22, 1455. He fought at Wakefield, December 30, 1460, and at the second battle of St. Albans on February 17, 1460/61. He was present at the Lancastrian rout of Towton on March 29, 1461, and afterwards fled with the King Henry VI to Scotland. He was subsequently attainted in Parliament on November 4, 1461. He fled abroad, but returned secretly to England in May, 1464, and made for the North. In 1464, he was one of a force of Lancastrians, Henry VI seemingly with them, which was defeated at Hedgley Moor. He was captured in a wood near Hexham on May 15, 1464, and beheaded at the Sandhille, Newcastle, on May 17, 1464. He was buried at Hexham, in either the Church of the Franciscans or of the Austin Canons. 28 JAN 1380/81 - 1439 Richard de Beauchamp Richard de Beauchamp, 5th Earl of Warwick, was born Jan. 28, 1381. This nobleman was made a Knight of the Bath at the coronation of the Queen, the following year. In 4th of Henry IV, 1399-1414, he was preeminently distinguished against Owen Glendower, whose banner he captured and put the rebel to flight, and about the same time he won fresh laurels in the memorable Battle of Shrewsbury against the Percys, after which he was made K. G. In the 9th of Henry IV he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and en route the King of France, in reverence of that Holy Feast, made him sit at his table, and at his departure sent an herald to conduct him safely through the realm. When he came to Jerusalem, he had much respect showed him, and having performed his offering at the sepulchre of our Savior he set up his arms on the north side of the temple. At the coronation of Henry V the earl was constituted High Steward of England. In the 3rd year of that king he was at Calais, and the next year he was at Caen, and upon the surrender of that place was appointed Governor of the Castle. His lordship continued actively engaged in military and diplomatic services during the reign of Henry V, by whose will he was appointed governor to his infant son and successor Henry VI, which charge having been fulfilled with great wisdom and fidelity, his lordship was appointed, upon the death of John Plantagenet, Duke of Bedford (King Henry V's brother), Regent of France, Lt. General of the whole realm of France and Duchy of Normandy. The Earl, who had been created Earl of Albermarle for life, in 1417, died in his Castle of Roan in his French Government on April 30, 1439. He married 1st Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, Viscount Lisle, by whom he had three daughters, Margaret, Eleanor and Elizabeth. He married 2nd Isabel, daughter of Thomas le Despenser, and had a son Henry, his successor, who died 1445, aged 22, and the male line of Beauchamp, Earls of Warwick expired, and a daughter Anne (this Henry left an only daughter, Anne Beauchamp, who died sine prole 1449 and the honours of the illustrious house of Beauchamp, reverted to her Aunt Anne (only daughter of this Richard Beauchamp, by his 2nd wife, Isabel Despenser), wife of Richard Nevill, Earl of Salisbury, the celebrated King Maker, who was subsequently made Earl of Warwick.

In the expedition made into France in 29 of Edward III his lordship was in the retinue of his father-in-law, Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk, and again in 33/4 of same reign his lands in Ireland being seized for the defense of the realm, the king directed his Precept to the Justice, Chancellor, and Treasurer there to discharge them, in consequence of his lordship being then in the wars in France, with divers men-at-arms and archers, at a very considerable expense. He died 1372 and left issue Henry, his successor, Elizabeth and Margaret. ~1330 Margaret de Ufford 21 MAR 1316/17 - 1349 Isabel de Verdon ~1334 Ralph de Ferrers ~1336 Philippa de Ferrers ~1338 Elizabeth de Ferrers 1280 - 1316 Sir Theobald de Verdon 35 35 ~1290 - 1313 John de Burgh 23 23 1312 William de Burgh ~1304 - 13 MAR 1320/21 Roger d'Amorie 1318 Elizabeth D'Amory ~1320 Alianore Amory ~1303 Joan de Verdon 1306 - 1377 Elizabeth de Verdon 71 71 1310 Margaret de Verdon ~1256 - 1309 Theobald de Verdon 53 53 ~1325 John Bradshaw ~1276 John de Verdon ~1439 Eleanor Beaufort 1436 Henry de Beaufort Henry de Beaufort, 1st son, Earl of Mortain, in the life of his father, succeeded his father as 3rd Duke of Somerset 1455 and Knight of the Garter.

Among other services he is remembered for his desperate assault on the Castle of St. Agnes in Mayenne, in France, in the 27th of Henry VI, in which he put to the sword 300 Scots and hanged all the French found therein. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Hexham, County Northumberland, and beheaded April 3, 1463. ~1251 William de Verdun ~1252 John de Verdun ~1253 Agnes de Verdun ~1254 Thomas de Verdun 1455 - 1483 Henry de Stafford 28 28 ~1458 - 1525 Katherine Woodville 67 67 3 FEB 1476/77 - 1521 Edward de Stafford ~1484 Anne de Stafford 1504 Elizabeth de Stafford ~1506 Mary de Stafford 1469 - 1535 Sir George de Neville 66 66 ~1444 - 1485 Margaret Fenne 41 41 1415 - 1447 Elizabeth de Beauchamp 31 31 ~1440 - 1492 Sir George de Neville 52 52 ~1414 Sir Hugh Fenne Katherine de Neville Sir Edward de Neville ~1438 Richard de Neville ~1410 Catherine Howard ~1435 Catherine de Neville ~1437 Anne de Neville ~1439 Margaret de Neville ~1435 - 1492 Elizabeth Woodville 57 57 11 FEB 1464/65 Elizabeth Plantagenet 28 JAN 1456/57 - 1509 Henry VII King of England Henry, son of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and Margaret Beaufort, was born nearly three months after his father's death. His father was the son of Owen Tudor, a Welsh squire, and Catherine of France, the widow of King Henry V. His mother was the great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, whose children by Catherine Swynford were born before he married her. Henry IV had confirmed Richard II's legitimation ( 1397) of the children of this union but had specifically excluded the Beauforts from any claim to the throne (1407). Henry Tudor's claim to the throne was, th erefore, weak and of no importance until the deaths in 1471 of Henry VI's only son, Edward, of his own two remaining kinsmen of the Beaufort line, and of Henr y VI himself, which suddenly made Henry Tudor the sole surviving male with any ancestral claim to the House of Lancaster.
As his mother was only 14 when he w as born and soon married again, Henry was brought up by his uncle Jasper Tudor, earl of Pembroke. When the Lancastrian cause crashed to disaster at the Battle of Tewkesbury (May 1471), Jasper took the boy out of the country and sought re fuge in the duchy of Brittany. The House of York then appeared so firmly establ ished that Henry seemed likely to remain in exile for the rest of his life. The usurpation of Richard III (1483), however, split the Yorkist party and gave He nry his opportunity. His first chance came in 1483 when his aid was sought to r ally Lancastrians in support of the rebellion of Henry Stafford, duke of Buckin gham, but that revolt was defeated before Henry could land in England. To unite the opponents of Richard III, Henry had promised to marry Elizabeth of York, e ldest daughter of Edward IV; and the coalition of Yorkists and Lancastrians con tinued, helped by French support, since Richard III talked of invading France. In 1485 Henry landed at Milford Haven in Wales and advanced toward London. Than ks largely to the desertion of his stepfather, Lord Stanley, to him, he defeate d and slew Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth on Aug. 22, 1485. Claiming the throne by just title of inheritance and by the judgment of God in battle, he w as crowned on October 30 and secured parliamentary recognition of his title ear ly in November. Having established his claim to be king in his own right, he ma rried Elizabeth of York on Jan. 18, 1486.

Character.
The whole of Henry's youth had been spent in conditions of adversity, often in danger of betrayal an d death, and usually in a state of poverty. These experiences, together with th e uncertainties of his reign, taught him to be secretive and wary, to subordina te his passions and affections to calculation and policy, to be always patient and vigilant. There is evidence that he was interested in scholarship, that he could be affable and gracious, and that he disliked bloodshed and severity; but all these emotions had to give way to the needs of survival. The extant portra its and descriptions suggest a tired and anxious-looking man, with small blue e yes, bad teeth, and thin white hair. His experiences and needs had also made hi m acquisitive, a trait that increased with age and success, and one that was op portune for both the crown and the realm.
OBJE: C:\My Documents\Royalty\HenryV II.jpg 1491 - 28 JAN 1546/47 VIII Henry King of England (1509-47), who presided over the beginning of the English Renaissance and the English Reformation. His six wives were, successively, Catherine of Aragon (the mother of the future queen Mary I), Anne Boleyn (the mother of the future queen Elizabeth I), Jane Seymour (the mother of Henry's successor, Edward VI), Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr.
Accession to the throne.
Henry was the second son of Henry VII, first of the Tudor line, and Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV, first king of the short-lived line of York. When his elder brother, Arthur, died in 1502, Henry became the heir to the throne; of all the Tudor monarchs, he alone spent his childhood in calm expectation of the crown, which helped give an assurance of majesty and righteousness to his willful, ebullient character. He excelled in book learning as well as in the physical exercises of an aristocratic society, and, whe n in 1509 he ascended the throne, great things were expected of him. Six feet tall, powerfully built, and a tireless athlete, huntsman, and dancer, he promised England the joys of spring after the long winter of Henry VII's reign.
Henry and his ministers exploited the dislike inspired by his father's energetic pursuit of royal rights by sacrificing, without a thought, some of the unpopular institutions and some of the men that had served his predecessor. Yet the unpopular means for governing the realm soon reappeared because they were necessary. Soon after his accession, Henry married Catherine of Aragon, Arthur's widow, and the attendant lavish entertainments ate into the modest royal reserves.
More serious was Henry's determination to engage in military adventure. Europe was being kept on the boil by rivalries between the French and Spanish kingdoms, mostly over Italian claims; and, against the advice of his older councillors, Henry in 1512 joined his father-in-law, Ferdinand II of Aragon, against France and ostensibly in support of a threatened pope, to whom the devout king for a long time paid almost slavish respect.
Henry himself displayed no military talent, but a real victory was won by the Earl of Surrey at Flodden (1513) against a Scottish invasion. Despite the obvious pointlessness of the fighting, the appear ance of success was popular. Moreover, in Thomas Wolsey, who organized his first campaign in France, Henry discovered his first outstanding minister. By 1515 Wolsey was archbishop of York, lord chancellor of England, and a cardinal of the church; more important, he was the King's good friend, to whom was gladly left the active conduct of affairs. Henry never altogether abandoned the positive tasks of kingship and often interfered in business; though the world might think that England was ruled by the Cardinal, the King himself knew that he possessed perfect control any time he cared to assert it, and Wolsey only rarely mistook the world's opinion for the right one.
Nevertheless, the years from 1515 to 1527 were marked by Wolsey's ascendancy, and his initiatives set the scene. The Cardinal had some occasional ambition for the papal tiara, and this Henry supported; Wolsey at Rome would have been a powerful card in English hands. In fact, there was never any chance of this happening, any more than there was of Henry's election to the imperial crown, briefly mooted in 1519 when the emperor Maximilian I died, to be succeeded by his grandson Charles V. That event altered the European situation. In Charles, the crowns of Spain, Burgundy (with the Netherlands), and Austria were united in an overwhelming complex of power that reduced all the dynasties of Europe, with the exception of France, to an inferior position.

He was by writ to Parliament, dated 1 June, 1363, as Roger de Bello Campo, Baron Beauchamp of Bletshoe, or Bletso, from 1 June, 1363, to 20 Oct., 1379, proof of which is in the Rolls of Parliament, whereby he became Lord Beauchamp. He also had Lydiard Tregoze in Wiltshire, which was confirmed to him  and his wife Sibbel, which was granted to them by Peter de Grandison, which Sibbel was the eldest of four sisters and co-heirs of Sir William Patteshull, knight, and granddaughter, maternally of Mabel, eldest sister of Ottho de Grandison, and in her issue co-heir of William de Grandison, Lord of Tregoze Manor. He is described as King's yeoman in 1337, Keeper of Devizes Castle, which was granted to him by Queen Philippa as "her Bachelor," 26 Oct., 1340. As early as 1346 he served in French wars and was made Captain of Calais in 1372. He was sent with his King in 1359 on the           expedition into Gascoigne and in the next year he obtained in right of his wife the Manor of Bletnesho in County Bedford, which he made chief place of his residence. In 47th of Edward III, 1373, being still Captain of Calais, his lordship had license to transport his household goods and other necessaries thither without the payment of any custom upon the same, and in the next year he had a special commission to take care that the peace then made between King Edward and the Earl of Flanders should be preserved within the marches of Calais. In the 50th of Edward III, 1376, Lord Beauchamp had a pension for life of 100 marks per annum in consideration of his eminent services out of the Castle and Town of Devizes in Wiltshire. Sybil de Patteshull, his wife, was living 26 Oct., 1351, and was buried at the Black Friars in London. He married 2nd Margaret ..... He died 3 Jan., 1379/80, 3rd of Richard II. His will was dated 19 Dec., 1379, registered at Lincoln, directing his burial to be at the Black Friars. ~1328 - 1351 Sibyl de Patteshull 23 23 ~1345 - ~1411 Elizabeth de St. John 66 66 1363 - 1406 Sir Roger de Beauchamp 43 43 Roger de Beauchamp, grandson and heir of Roger de Beauchamp, the first Baron.

The sons of Vortigern had fled to Gaul for safety, where they raised an army and returned to assist the Britons in overthrowing their father and his Saxon merceneries.

VORTIGERN

THE MOST hated man in Britain, as he later became known, was Vortigern Vorteneu. The Welsh form of this is Gwrtheyrn Gwrtheneu (the Thin). Despite the name being synonymous with the man, Vortigern has long been accepted as only a title, with Pictish, or perhaps Northern British overtones. It means "Over-King", and there are some indications that, like his semi-legendary forebears, his real name was Vitalis (Gwidol in Welsh) or Vitalinus (Gwidolin), though his origins are obscure. His name would almost certainly have been Roman in influence, although he was probably aware of its Celtic version. The north and west of Britannia was only ever under Roman military rule, so Celtic traditions were still very strong there. The other possibility, equally strong, put forward by Charles Thomas, is that Bede knew of Vortigern as Vertigernus or Uuertigernus, representing a British name Wortigernos (see the introduction on Gildas for a fuller explanation).
His power-base was always the area along the Welsh border, and while he was High King, his eldest son Vortimer set up a thriving kingdom in Gwent. Vortigern himself appears to have spent more of his time, and exercised more direct control in Caer Gloui (Gloucester) in his early years. His great grandfather is said to have been Gloyw Gwallthir (Long-Hair), one of the city's supposed founders (Gloyw = Glou-, and Latin castrum (fort) = British caer or Saxon cester). This name is still linked to the place itself in its nickname of "Gloucester Long-Wall", but the appendage to Gloyw's name indicates he was a long-haired Pict. This is also born out to an extent in the name Vortigern itself. "gern" was a Pictish (or pre-Pict) word for leader.
Despite this Pictish link, the "Life of St Cadog" gives Vortigern an alternative and very typically Celtic ancestry descending from the Celtic gods, Beli Mawr, Lludd Llaw Ereint & Afallach. Pictish descent was always measured through the female side, so perhaps this explains the apparent conflict. Vortigern could have possessed a Pictish female in his ancestry, a possible wife of Gloyw's, not unlikely if she was from the Southern Picts around Manau Goutoddin or the Clyde.
The St Cadog ancestry shows too few generations to be complete, but it is replicated in the King List for Vortigern's Powys, as similar ancestries are for other kings, such as Gwent, Dyfed, and Gwynedd. The ancestry of Celtic kings was very important to their prestige and their clan name, so even minor kings (who were usually descended from greater royal houses anyway) would find an ancestry that linked them to their royal title.
Vortigern became High King of Britain in around 425, after years of building up his power and position. Its entirely possible that, given the fact that the Romano-Britons at this time were still very much following standard Roman policies on defence and their way of life, that he adjusted the title to become Emperor of Britain. The precedence would have been his own father in law, Magnus Maximus, and the more recent claimant to Rome, Constantine III, who left Britain in 407. There was no possibility of following these two overseas to claim a now much reduced Rome, even if the manpower was available, which it was not. The title of emperor would bear much more meaning to the Romanised Britons who were in command of Britannia, before the mid-century Celtic resurgence took hold.
Between AD 380 - 400 Vortigern married Severa ferch Macsen (daughter of Magnus Maximus, the Roman general proclaimed emperor in Britain in 383, and responsible for large scale changes in the way Britain defended itself before he left to pursue his claim to the purple). Later, he married again.

Vortigern & Vortimer
British Chronology

SOURCE: http://www.britannia.com/history/biographies/vortig.html
Estimates of when Vortigern came to power in Britain vary dramatically: possibly around 425, perhaps about 440-5. He may have been a "high-king." It is thought by some that Vortigern is not a name at all, but a title, meaning "over king." Even his origins are disputed. According to the available sources, Vortigern was a weak man of little character, possessing few redeeming personal qualities. If these sources are correct, it is hard to imagine that his ascent to power was by the acclaimation of the members of Britain's ruling council, and is much easier to believe that he gained his throne by treachery and murder.

Some support for this view is lent by Geoffrey of Monmouth, in his 12th century "History of the Kings of Britain." In it, Geoffrey tells us of a King Constantine, who had three sons, Constans, Aurelius Ambrosius (the Ambrosius Aurelianus of actual history) and Uther Pendragon (the legendary future father of Arthur). Geoffrey says that Constantine was killed by a Pictish assassin, leaving the eldest son, Constans, as king.

Vortigern appears to have climbed his way high up the greasy pole by securing an inspired marriage to Severa, the daughter of the Constantine's predecessor and national hero, Magnus Maximus. As Constans was still quite young, Vortigern was able to have himself installed as the king's advisor, and before long, conspired to have the young king killed. With the king out of the way, Vortigern seized the crown for himself, realizing that Aurelius Ambrosius and Uther Pendragon were mere babes and weren't in a position, at that time, to frustrate his designs. Luckily for the young brothers, they were bundled up and escaped to the court of their cousin, Budic I, in Brittany.

According to the "Historia Brittonum," a ninth century compilation of writings by a Welsh monk called Nennius, Vortigern came to power threatened with three dangers on his mind:

"Vortigern ruled in Britain and during his rule in Britain he was under pressure, from fear of the Picts and the Irish (Scots), and of a Roman invasion, and, not least, from dread of Ambrosius."

The fear of the Picts and Scots was completely natural since the British northern defenses were ineffective and in severe disarray. The fear of a Roman invasion suggests either great paranoia on Vortigern's part (the Romans had had no presence in Britain for years) or that there was very good reason (of which we are ignorant, today) to be concerned about a reappearance of Roman soldiers on the shores of Britain. The final fear, of Ambrosius, was to have fatal consequences. Vortigern dreaded retribution, for the murder of his father and older brother, but Ambrosius was still young and the High-King could afford to defer any action for some years.

[5th Century Caer-Guricon (Wroxeter in Shropshire)]

It was during Vortigern's reign that St. Germanus appears at the Royal Court. Traditional this is said to have been St. Germanus of Auxerre, who is known to have visited Britain at this time to stamp out the Palagian heresy that had become so popular. His first journey took him from Caer-Rebuti (Richborough) to Caer-Lundein (London) and Caer-Mincip (St.Albans), all in South-East England. However, stories of his leading an army against invading Saxon pirates, probably in Cheshire, may refer to a different man. The saint who spent some time in Vortigern's presence - probably at Caer-Guricon (Wroxeter, Shropshire) where excavation has revealed the residence of a powerful 5th century noble - may have been the Breton St. Garmon who was active across Wales. This saint accused Vortigern of fathering a child by his own daughter. Though disgusted by the British High-King, Garmon - or Germanus - favoured the man's sons, at least two of whom he appears to have blessed.

Even with the support of his brothers-in-law, who were now powerful rulers in Wales, Vortigern's grip on the country was still shaky; but when Severa died the situation worsened. To aid the Britons in their defense against the increasingly brutal raids from the northern tribes, Vortigern therefore authorized the use of Saxon and Jutish mercenaries, led by Princes Hengist & Horsa. In line with the standard Roman practice of employing one barbarian tribe to defend against another, the Saxons received land to be used for settlement in exchange for their services.

Geoffrey of Monmouth claims that the two brothers asked for all the land they could cover with a single ox-hide. Vortigern eagerly agreed, but found that Hengist cut the hide into a lengthy thong that was able to encompass the whole city of Caer-Correi (Caistor, Lincs)! Vortigern must, however, have found reassurance in the words of the Jutish chief, as recorded in the "Kentish Chronicle":

"Hengest said to Vortigern. . .'Take my advice, and you will never fear conquest by any man or any people, for my people are strong. I will invite my son and his cousin to fight against the Irish, for they are fine warriors.'"

The anti-Pict/Irish strategy that Vortigern chose to employ proved to be successful, since these tribes were never a problem, again, and the arrangement between the Saxons under their leader, Hengest, and Vortigern was agreeable to both parties for some time. Later, however, they tricked the High-King again: this time into handing over to them the Sub-Kingdom of Ceint (Kent). Getting drunk at a celebratory feast, the foolish Vortigern fell deeply in love with Hengist's daughter, Rowena. He promised Hengist anything he wanted, if only he could marry her. 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 his step-mother. From their secure power-base, the Saxons then demanded more food and clothing to supply their increased numbers and Vortigern refused them, saying, "we cannot give you more food and clothing for your numbers are grown." The Saxons, however, would not accept this answer. Nennius tells us,

"So they took counsel with their elders to break the peace."

They tore through the land, leaving devastation wherever they went. Many were killed during the ensuing battles, amongst them, Horsa & Vortigern's son, Catigern. Hengist eventually called for a peace conference on Salisbury Plain. The British arrived and were promptly cut down where they stood. This decision on the part of the Saxons would result in several generations of war with the Britons.

[Fighting Dragons at Dinas Emrys] Vortigern escaped to set up a stronghold in the west. He chose to build a castle on the southern slopes of Yr Aran, above Beddgelert (Gwynedd). Construction began. However, every morning the previous day's work was found demolished. Vortigern's magicians told him to seek a boy with no father, born of the fairies. He would be able to solve the High-King's problem. Vortigern's men searched far and wide and discovered such a boy at what was soon to become Caer-Fyrddin (Carmarthen). His name was Myrddin Emrys, or "Merlin" for short. Merlin revealed that at night the mountain shook so that all buildings collapsed, because beneath it were buried two fighting dragons. One white representing the Saxons and one red representing the British, and the white one was winning! Afraid of such an omen, Vortigern fled.

Disillusioned, the British finally rebelled against their High-King. Ambrosius Aurelianus (Emrys Wledig), of whom Vortigern had previously had no fear, had by now grown into a burly young man and took his place in the events of the time to lead their struggle. Merlin handed over to him the mountain site where Vortigern had failed to build, and it became his fort of Dinas Emrys. Vortigern took refuge in the refortified hillfort of Tre'r Ceiri in Yr Eifl (the Rivals) in Lleyn, but Ambrosius pursued him and drove him south, via Nant Gwetheyrn and the sea to Ergyng and a wooden castle on the old hillfort of Caer-Guorthigirn (Little Doward) above Ganarew. Here, the castle was miraculously struck by lightning and Vortigern burnt to death! He was later buried in a small chapel in Nant Gwrtheyrn (Lleyn).

Thus, it was left to Ambrosius Aurelianus to halt the Saxon advance. ~0358 Owain Finddu (Black Lips) ~0402 Vortimer Fendigaid Vortimer (Gwerthefyr) Fendigaid (the Blessed) ~0375 Saxon King in Kent Horsa ~0430 Uthyr Pendragon ~0361 - ~0425 Flavius Claudius Constantine 64 64 Custennin Fawr (the Great), in Welch ~0405 Ronnwen (Rowena) ~0425 (Unknown) verch Gwrtheneu ~0370 Saxon King in Kent Hengist ~0480 Arthur Pendragon SOURCE:  http://www.britannia.com/history/arthur/kaking.html

Arthur,
King of the Britons
Arthur, it seems, is claimed as the King of nearly every Celtic Kingdom known. The 6th century certainly saw many men named Arthur born into the Celtic Royal families of Britain but, despite attempts to identify the great man himself amongst them, there can be little doubt that most of these people were only named in his honour. Princes with other names are also sometimes identified with "Arthwyr" which is thought by some to be a title similar to Vortigern.

Breton King
Geoffrey of Monmouth recorded Arthur as a High-King of Britain. He was the son of his predecessor, Uther Pendragon and nephew of King Ambrosius. As a descendant of High-King Eudaf Hen's nephew, Conan Meriadoc, Arthur's grandfather, had crossed the Channel from Brittany and established the dynasty at the beginning of the 5th century. The Breton King Aldrien had been asked to rescue Britain from the turmoil in which it found itself after the Roman administration had departed. He sent his brother, Constantine, to help. Constantine appears to have been the historical self-proclaimed British Emperor who took the last Roman troops from Britain in a vain attempt to assert his claims on the Continent in 407. Chronologically speaking, it is just possible he was King Arthur's grandfather. Arthur's Breton Ancestry was recorded by Gallet.

Riothamus the King
Geoffrey Ashe argues that King Arthur was an historical King in Brittany known to history as Riothamus, a title meaning "Greatest-King". His army is recorded as having crossed the channel to fight the Visigoths in the Loire Valley in 468. Betrayed by the Prefect of Gaul, he later disappeared from history. Ashe does not discuss Riothamus' ancestry. He, in fact, appears quite prominently in the pedigree of the Kings of DomnonŽe, dispite attempts to equate him with a Prince of Cornouaille named Iaun Reith. Riothamus was probably exiled to Britain during one of the many civil wars that plagued Brittany. He later returned in triumph to reclaim his inheritance, but was later killed in an attempt to expel Germanic invaders. The main trouble with this Arthurian identification is that it pushes King Arthur back fifty years from his traditional period at the beginning of the sixth century (See Ashe 1985).

Dumnonian King
Welsh tradition also sees Arthur as High-King of Britain but tends to follow the genealogies laid down in the Mostyn MS117 and the Bonedd yr Arwr. These show Arthur as grandson of Constantine but, this time, he is Constantine Corneu, the King of Dumnonia. Traditional Arthurian legend records three Kings of Dumnonia during Arthur's reign: Constantine's son, Erbin; grandson, Gereint and great grandson, Cado. Nowhere is there any indication that these three were closely related to Arthur, nor that he had any claim on the Dumnonian Kingdom. Nor is their any explanation as to why a Dumnonian prince would have been raised to the High-Kingship of Britain. Arthur's connection with this area of Britain is purely due to his supposedly being conceived at Tintagel, the residence of his mother's first husband, and buried at Glastonbury, the most ancient Christian site in the country.

Cumbrian King
The Clan Campbell trace their tribal pedigree back to one Arthur ic Uibar: the Arthur son of Uther of tradition. Norma Lorre Goodrich uses this fact to argue that Arthur was a "Man of the North". This idea was first proposed by the Victorian Antiquary, W.F.Skene, and there is some evidence to recommend it, especially the possible northern location of Nennius' twelve battles. Goodrich places Arthur's Court at Carlisle. As the capital of the Northern British Kingdom of Rheged, this seems an unlikely home for Arthur, who was not of this dynasty. Prof. Goodrich relies heavily on late medieval literary sources and draws imaginative conclusions. (See Goodrich 1986 & Skene 1868).

Pennine King
There was a Northern British King named Arthwys who lived in the previous generation to the traditional Arthur. He was of the line of Coel Hen (the Old) and probably ruled over a large Kingdom in the Pennines. Many of Nennius' Arthurian Battles are often said to have taken place in the Northern Britain. These and other northern stories associated with the King Arthur may, in reality, have been relating the achievements of this near contemporary monarch.

Elmet King
Another Northern British Arthwys was the son of Masgwid Gloff, probably a King of the Elmet region of modern West Yorkshire. Nothing is known of this Prince who was exactly contemporary with the real King's traditional period. Though it is unlikely that he held his own kingdom, his exploits may have contributed to King Arthur's story.

Scottish King
The Scots, though fresh from Ireland, also used the name Arthur for a Royal Prince. Artur, the son of King Aidan of Dalriada, was probably born in the 550s. David F. Carroll has recently argued that this man was the real Arthur, ruling Manau Gododdin from Camelon (alias Camelot) in Stirlingshire. Details can be found on the author's web site. (Carroll 1996)

Powysian King
Graham Phillips and Martin Keatman identify Arthur as Owain Ddantwyn (White-Tooth), a late 5th century Prince of the House of Cunedda (more specifically of Gwynedd). Their arguments, however, are wholly unconvincing, and contain many unresolved discrepancies. Owain's son, Cuneglasus (known from Welsh pedigrees as Cynlas) was among the five Celtic Kings condemned in the writings of Gildas. Through a misinterpretation of this account, Keatman & Phillips imply that Cuneglasus was the son of one Arth, ie. Arthur. They further claim that he, and therefore his father, Owain, before him, must have ruled Powys, as this is the only Kingdom un-reconciled with Gildas' Kings. However, Cynlas lived at Din Arth in Rhos. He was not the son of Arth. In traditional Welsh manner the Kingdom of Gwynedd had been divided between his father, Owain, who received Eastern Gwynedd (ie. Rhos) and his uncle, Cadwallon Lawhir (Long-Hand) who took the major Western portion. During this period, Cyngen Glodrydd (the Renowned) was ruling Powys. He was probably the Aurelius Caninus mentioned by Gildas. (See Phillips & Keatman 1992).

Rhos King
A much simpler and thoroughly more convincing thesis from Mark Devere Davies suggests that Arthur may have been Cuneglasus himself. I can do no better than recommend you to the author's website.

Dyfed King
A King Arthwyr ruled in Dyfed in the late 6th century. He was the son of King Pedr ap Cyngar, but little else is known of him. Though he was probably merely named after the great man, it is possible that some of his accomplishments may have become attached to the traditional legend.

Glamorgan King
Baram Blackett & Alan Wilson have theorised that the legendary King Arthur was an amalgam of two historical characters: Anwn (alias Arthun), the British King who conquered Greece and Athrwys (alias Arthwys) the King of Glywyssing and Gwent. Arthun was a son of the British Emperor Magnus Maximus, who lived in the late 4th century. He is better known as Anwn (alias Dynod) and his title of King of Greece is generally thought to be a misreading of his Latin name, Antonius Gregorius. He actually ruled much of South Wales. Arthwys of Glwyssing & Gwent is widely accepted as a seventh century King who lived in South-East Wales. His home in the traditional Arthurian region around Caerleon is part of this man's attraction. Blackett & Wilson argue, not unconvincingly, that he really lived in the early 6th century and that his father, King Meurig was called "Uther Pendragon", a title meaning Wonderful Commander. They also make the important assertion that Arthur lived, not in Cerniw (ie. Cornwall), but in Cernyw (ie. Glywyssing). (See Blackett & Wilson 1980).

St. Arthmael the King
Like Blackett & Wilson, Chris Barber & David Pykitt identify the King Arthur with King Athrwys of Glywyssing & Gwent. However, here the similarity stops, for there are important differences in the identification of people, places and events. Their major addition is the supposition that after Camlann, Arthur/Athrwys abdicated and retired to Brittany where he became an important evangeliser. He was known as St. Armel (or Arthmael) and his shrine can still be seen at St.Armel-des-Boschaux. Their ideas have much to commend them and make compelling reading. (See Barber & Pykitt 1993).

Roman King
It has been suggested, many times over the years, that King Arthur may have been a descendant of one Lucius Artorius Castus: a theme most recently taken up by P.J.F. Turner. Castus was an historical 2nd century Dalmatian general stationed in Britain who commanded the Roman auxiliary troops, known as Sarmations, on an expedition to crush an uprising in Armorica. It is highly unlikely that the two had any connection with each other. (See Turner 1993). ~0400 (Unknown) verch Vortigern ~0416 St. Madrun verch Vortigern ~0404 Caderyn Fendigaid ~0460 Pasgen (Paschant) Ap Vortigern ~0408 Brydw Ap Vortigern ~0410 St. Edeyrn ap Vortigern ~0427 Faustus ap Gwrtheneu Ynyr Gwent ~0385 Ambrosius Aurelianus AMBROSIUS AURELIANUS was, according to the later legends, the High King of the Britons after Vortigern. Although the reality of his role is clouded by much uncertainty, his impact on this period in Britain's history was significant. He is mentioned in four early texts, the first and oldest of which is De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, a 6th century diatribe against the lazy and apathetic British people and five corrupt British kings, called "contemptible principalities". It was written by the British monk, Gildas, who says that Ambrosius, alone, is worthy of praise among his countrymen for his leadership of the British counteroffensive against the invading Anglo-Saxons. He is credited with standing against the tide of invasion and heartening his countrymen by his own courage, and he seems to have done much to prevent the early break-up of Celtic Britain in the face of an overwhelming Teutonic onslaught. Gildas refers to him as a "Roman", which clearly implies his continuation of Roman methods of organisation and operation. It also reflects on his family and background, as he seems to have been brought up in a very typically upper class Romanised British environment. Gildas goes on to say that the Saxon advance was halted by a stunning British victory at Mons Badonicus (Mount Badon), which is believed to have been fought around the year 496. This victory so stunned the Teutons (probably under the overall leadership of Aelle of the South Saxons at this time), that an entire generation of peace was bought for the British. This is borne out in archaeological evidence which finds a sudden cessation of Saxon advances in the south until the mid-sixth century. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle also goes very goes at this stage. Gildas stops short of naming the commander of the home forces at Badon, but subsequent centuries have given that credit to Arthur. This is entirely possible, as Ambrosius was at the height of his powers in the third quarter of the fifth century, and by 496, a replacement commander is more than likely, with Arthur fitting the bill as the then battle leader of the Britons, and perhaps High King.
Our second reference to Ambrosius comes from The Venerable Bede, an eighth century monk of the monastery of Jarrow, in the well written A History of the English Church and People. In a statement which seems to support Gildas, Bede calls him "Ambrosius Aurelius, a modest man of Roman origin, who was the sole survivor of the catastrophe in which his royal parents had perished." That refers to the Saxon foederati revolt which occurred in the early 440s, and spread terror throughout southern Britain, persuading much of the aristocracy to emigrate to the more stable Armorican kingdoms. Bede tells us that "under his leadership the Britons took up arms, challenged their conquerors to battle, and with God's help inflicted a defeat upon them."
Nennius, a monk living in Bangor, was the early 9th century supposed compiler of an eclectic mass of material called the Historia Brittonum. This is a fascinating document of uncertain historical reliability, and was the first serious attempt after Bede to put down the history of the Britons onto paper. Nennius seems to write about two different Ambrosius'. In the first case, he refers to a clearly legendary Ambrosius as being a fatherless child who displayed prophetic powers before Vortigern (he could well have got his references confused here as this refers to the life of Myrvin, the later Merlin of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain). Nennius also says that Ambrosius was a rival whom Vortigern dreaded, and, in a later passage, calls him "the great king of all the kings of the British nation," essentially confirming his status as High King.
What can also be strongly inferred, both from archaeological and textual evidence, is that Ambrosius came to control the West County area around Gloucester. Nennius has Vortigern making a gift of the land, perhaps to try and placate a potential political enemy, but whether Ambrosius gained the land (called Guenet) as a gift, or after the death of Vortigern, he apparently did use the region as a base. If this is true, then in all liklihood he passed it onto his son as a single kingdom which only later split up into the Caer Baddan, Caer Ceri and Caer Gloui that fell to the West Saxons in 577.
Geoffrey of Monmouth calls him Aurelius Ambrosius, and says that when King Constans was murdered by the usurper, Vortigern, Ambrosius and his brother, Uther, were smuggled to Brittany (Armorica) to gain strength to return to campaign against Vortigern. In time, Ambrosius defeated Vortigern, warred successfully against the Saxons and had their leader, Hengist King of the Cantware in Kent, killed (in AD 488, an act which must be falsely attributed to him, as it occured about eight years after his probable date of death). According to Geoffrey, Vortigern's son, Paschent, King of Builth, eventually had Ambrosius poisoned (which fits in much more acceptable with Ambrosius' death earlier in the century, in or around 480, which means Arthur was much more likely to be responsible for Hengist's death and Mount Badon).
British Chronology
Whether Ambrosius was a king of the Britons, a war leader against the Saxons, a Briton, a Roman, all of the above or none of the above, isn't known for sure outside the legends and tales about him. Some have thought that Ambrosius and Arthur are really one and the same, others that he was Arthur's uncle. The truth is probably that Ambrosius Aurelianus was a genuine, heroic, 5th century, Romano-British war leader, some of whose own exploits have been applied to the legend of Arthur. Given the confusion by some over their respective periods of rule, this isn't surprising, but in all likelihood, Ambrosius Aurelianus was at his most active during the civil war against Vortigern, and from the date of the latter's death, circa 455 to somewhere around 480, by which time, it seems likely that Arthur led the battle from around 480 - 511.

Ambrosius Aurelianus, the second son of the Emperor Constantine, was known to the Welsh as Emrys Wledig (the Imperator) or Emrys Benaur (the Golden-Headed). Geoffrey of Monmouth tells us how he was still a young child when his teenage brother, Constans' short-lived reign came to an abrupt end. With his father executed and his brother murdered, little Ambrosius, along with his brother, Uther, was bundled up and taken across the Channel to the safety of the court of his cousin, Budic I of Brittany. Here he grew up, while the evil Vortigern reigned in Britain, but always Ambrosius planned to return and claim his rightful inheritance.

His chance arrived some years later. Ambrosius returned to Britain, landed at Totnes (Devon) and it may be at this point in history that he clashed with Vitalinus (probably Vortigern or a supporter) at the Battle of Guoloph (Nether Wallop in Hampshire) as recorded by Nennius. This may have resulted in Victory for Ambrosius who was, at some point in history, "given all the kingdoms of the western side of Britain" by Vortigern. Ambrosius was, however, unsatisfied with such a compromise and the struggle between the two continued for most of his life. Vortigern's pro-Saxon policies eventually led to his downfall though and, (probably) in the late 450s, the British people finally rallied behind Ambrosius. Vortigern was hounded into taking refuge in his mountain strongholds. While under siege at Caer-Guorthigirn (Little Doward, Herefordshire), the fortress was miraculously struck by lightning. Vortigern and his entire garrison were burnt to death.

After Vortigern's death, Ambrosius was conciliatory towards his sons and let them keep their lands in Buellt, Gwerthrynion, Gwent and Powys. Despite this magnanimity, King Pasgen of Buellt & Gwerthrynion later rebelled against Ambrosius and twice attempted to overrun Britain with help from the Saxons and the Irish. The main Anglo-Saxon forces had retired North of the Humber and Ambrosius met Hengist in Battle at Maesbeli and then Conisburgh (Caer-Conan). Later he besieged Octa and Osla at York (Caer-Ebrauc). All were defeated, but Ambroius let them settle their people in Bryneich (Bernicia).

Ambrosius is credited, by Geoffrey, with the building of a monumental stone circle, the "Giant's Ring" (possibly Stonehenge or Avebury) on Mount Ambrius as a memorial to those massacred by the Saxons at the "Night of the Long Knifes" during King Vortigern's reign. He was buried there himself after being poisoned by a Saxon at Winchester (Caer-Guinntguic).

Ambrosius was certainly an historical figure as recorded by his near contemporary commentator, St. Gildas. In his "Ruin of Britain," the monk describes how the Saxons rampaged through the country before they "returned home". Then:

"The remnants (of the British)...take up arms, and challenge their victors to battle under Ambrosius Aurelianus. He was a man of unassuming character, who, alone of the Roman race, chanced to survive the storm in which his parents, people undoubtedly clad in the purple, had been killed. Their offspring in our days have greatly degenerated from their ancestral nobleness. From that time the citizens were sometimes victorious, sometimes the enemy...up to the year of the Siege of Mons Badonicus."

Added to this are the comments of the 9th century chronicler, Nennius, who, in-line with Geoffrey, recorded Ambrosius as one of the chief dreads of King Vortigern. Nennius also describes Ambrosius as a young boy without a father, called to help Vortigern out during the building of his fortress at Dinas Emrys (see Vortigern), a role later taken on by Merlin. He ties the period down by implying that Vortigern's reign had begun by at least 425, and that Ambrosius fought at Guoloph twelve years later. This is most interesting for it poses a bit of a problem. Many people take Gildas' reference to Mons Badonicus to imply that it was Ambrosius, rather than the usually attributed King Arthur, who was the commander at the famous battle of Mount Badon, the decisive British victory over the Saxons around 495-500. In the year 495, Ambrosius would have been at least 74 years old, and it would, indeed, be difficult to imagine a man of this period living to such an age, let alone wielding a heavy sword and leading a mounted charge against the Saxon positions. So what is the solution?

There isn't a definitive one, but some have solved the problem by postulating two men named Ambrosius; the elder, whom Vortigern dreaded, and the younger, the hero of the British resistance of the mid-to-late fifth century and the victor of Mount Badon. This is certainly possible. . .as there seem to have been a number of people with the same name in those days (ie. Maximus, Constantine, etc.). Why not two Ambrosii?

The more likely possibility, though, is that there was just one Ambrosius. Arthur may indeed have been the real commander of the victory at Mount Badon; or perhaps as "the great king among all the kings of the British nation," Ambrosius Aurelianus could have been the aging overall supreme commander of the engagement, with the function of front line battle leader going to a younger man, perhaps Arthur.

Moses went to Pharaoh with his brother Aaron, but in spite of the miracles he worked, such as changing the water of the Nile to blood and bringing plagues upon the Egyptians, Pharaoh would not release the Hebrew people. At last, he consented,and Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt toward Canaan. As they neared the Red Sea, a hostile Egyptian army, dispatched by Pharaoh, came upon them from the rear. Moses stretched out his arm, whereupon the Red Sea rose up in two walls, leaving dry land between them. The Hebrews crossed on the land, but when the Egyptians tried to pursue them, the walls of water broke upon them, and they drowned. When the Hebrews reached Sinai, on the Sinai Peninsula, Moses ascended the mountain to speak with Yahweh. He spent 40 days and nights with Yahweh, from whom he received two tablets of stone on which were inscribed the Ten Commandments, which thereafter constituted the fundamental laws of the Hebrews. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness and desert under Moses's leadership and the endurance of many hardships, such as earthquakes, plagues, fires, thirst, and wars with the native people of Palestine, the Hebrews at last came to Canaan. Moses was permitted by Yahweh to see Canaan, the Promised land, from the top of Mount Pisgah (now in Jordan), and then he died. Before he died, however, he turned the leadership of the people over to Joshua. Although the dates of Moses's birth and death are hard to establish,many contemporary authorities believe that the exodus took place in the 13th century BC.
* Note: The Pentateuch
* Note:
Besides being one of the most famous national leaders and lawgivers in history, Moses was reputedly the author of the first five books of the Old Testament, known collectively as the Pentateuch, and also of other parts of the Old Testament,including possibly the Book of Job. Scholars agree almost unanimously, however, that these books are the interwoven work of many authors.

Quoting from the research work of DeBrett of Northampton

"Our research into the Beauchamp family of Cosgrove has covered a wide range of sources, the most revealing of which has been a series of Northamptonshire wills in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The will of Edward Beauchamp, the eldest son of Thomas Beauchamp and Dorothy, formerly Clarke, was dated 6 Jan 1624 at Cosgrove, and it was his wish "to be buried in the churchyard of Cosgrove among the burials of my ancestors". He mentioned his wife, Emma, and three sons and two daughters. His father, Thomas Beauchamps's will was dated 15 Dec 1613 and he mentioned four sons, Edward (whose will of 1624 we have just mentioned), Thomas, who was given lands in Downham, Cambridgeshire, and John, the merchant ancestor who married Alice Freeman. Thomas also named a daughter Margaret, who received land at Wolverton, Buckinghamshire. We also learn he had brothers Christopher and Robert.

Thomas's brother, Christopher Beauchamp, left a will in 1622 in which he mentioned his brother Henry. The eldest brother, John Beauchamp, left an interesting will 23 Feb 1615, which was proved in Prerogative Court of Canterbury, the superior probate jurisdiction of England and Wales. Like his nephew and namesake John, son of Thomas Beauchamp, the elder John was a successful merchant. He lived in Amsterdam and although he had a wife, he mentioned no children. He did leave bequest to his nephews, John and Richard, the sons of his late brother, Thomas Beauchamp. The testator also mentioned his brothers, Henry, Christopher, Richard and Robert Beauchamp, and a sister named Ellis. The most important point in the will is that there is a reference to John Beauchamp's father, also called John Beauchamp, who was believed to be living in Buckinghamshire in 1615.

Unfortunately, we know almost nothing about this elder John Beauchamp of Buckinghamshire. However, from the evidence contained in earlier Northamptonshire wills, we believe he can be identified as the son of Thomas and Agnes Beauchamp of Cosgrove. Thomas made his will on 10 Mar 1545, and apart from his son John, he named a daughter Agnes, and his wife, who was also called Agnes. He had a sister called Elizabeth Conqueste. Thomas' widow, Agnes Beauchamp of Cosgrave, made her will on 16 Aug 1545. Most of her property was left to the church, or for charitable purposes, but she did make a bequest to Thomas Conq(u)est, who was her brother, or brother-in-law. Finally, the earliest will we have identified relates to John Beauchamp of Cosgrove, and was dated 16 February 1536. He mentioned his brother, Thomas, who was his executor, his son William and daughter Emma.

Thus we can trace the Beauchamp family of Cosgrove back with a good degree of certainty to 1536 from probate sources. We consulted many other sources, such as Inquisitions Post Mortems, marriage licenses and legal records in the Court Of Requests, but these produced no evidence of earlier generations. One source which may have identified the father of Thomas Beauchamp, the earliest known ancestor, is Lay Subsidy Rolls, which are records of taxations levied by Parliament. In 1543/4, Thomas Beauchamp of Cosgrove was assessed for taxation. In 1524/5, we find Richard, John and Thomas Beauchamp at Cosgrove. We know that Thomas and John were brothers, and we may speculate that Richard Beauchamp was their father. However, extensive searches in deeds, muster rolls, pipe rolls, close rolls and other Beauchamp families and individuals flourishing in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, have failed to produce firm evidence of the genealogy before 1536".

No documentation as yet, just several very well researched leads by impressive persons including Stith Thompson.
From William Dugdale's "History of Warwickshire" : "I did intensive research on Bch.families, On his death in 1293, Ralph de Bch. left his son/heir, Roger, honors of Eaton. Roger was 21 next year, 1294, did homage and had livery of his lands. Dugdale concludes his unconnected account of this family with this Roger, by reason, he says, they were not of the degree of Barons."
Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, Page 935 -"Hereford. He had by his wife Peter, John and Otho and three daughters, Mabella de Grandison, who married Sir John de Patteshull, Katherine and Agnes. He died before 1335. 5. Mabella de Grandison married Sir John Patteshull and their daughter Sibella married Roger de Beauchamp. No. 10, Beauchamp. Roger de Beauchamp and Sibella Patteshull had a son, 11. Roger de Beauchamp, who died in the lifetime of his father, leaving a son, 12. Roger de Beauchamp, grandson and heir of Roger de Beauchamp, the first Baron. He was aged 17 in 1380 and second Baron Beauchamp of Bletso, but this nobleman was never summoned to Parliament. His lordship, proving his age in the 7th of Richard II, had livery of all his lands. In 1394/5 this nobleman attending the King into Ireland. He married Johanna Clopton and had a son John and a daughter."(this heritage also contains the names Littleton, Dorothey Edmund which are similar names in the latter linage.)There was a paternal record of the family in the possession of George A. Beauchamp, a descendant of Sir Thomas Beauchamp. This record told of the family leaving their native France for England, and of the emmigration in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century to America. The Beauchamp Family Bible had been burned.
The Bible. The information of the Bible came from "Backtracking in Barbour County - A Narrative of the last Alabama Frontier" by Ann Kendrick Walker. "About the turn of the century, Dr. Owen learned that the only portrait extant of the pioneer (Green Beauchamp) was in the possession of Miss Emily Kennon, a sister of Mrs. Beauchamp, and at this time, Miss Kennon had reached the age of ninety-six. Dr. Owen's efforts to locate the portrait resulted in bringing forth some biographical material--- slight but authentic ---from the late George A. Beauchamp, a great nephew of Green. The Beauchamp Family Bible had been burned, but there was a record of the family on the paternal side, of leaving their native France for England, and of the emigration in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century of the founder of the American Branch, and of settlement in Maryland."

Edmund Beauchamp, in making his will (dated April 10, 1691; probated 12th 9ber 1691), describes himself as "Edmund Beauchamp, Mercer, of London, and at the writing hereof County Clerke of Somerset in the Province of Maryland."4 This item furnished the clue to Beauchamp's ancestry. Research in English record publications shows Edmund Beauchamp to have been a son of John Beauchamp, of London, Merchant, and his wife, Alicia, daughter of Edmund Freeman, of Pulberry, Sussex; and
grandson of Thomas Beauchamp, of Cosgrave, Northamptonshire, and his wife, Dorothy, daughter of Edward Clarke, of Rode, Northamptonshire. ~1556 Dorothy Clarke ~1553 John Beauchamp Robert Beauchamp Christopher Beauchamp Henry Beauchamp Richard Beauchamp <1506 - 10 MAR 1544/45 Thomas Beauchamp Agnes ~1532 Agnes Beauchamp ~1485 Richard Beauchamp Notes for Mr (Richard?) Beauchamp:
In 1983 DeBrett's of London was commisioned by a descent of Rhoda Beauchamp Walker, to determine her Beauchamp ancestry. This was done and a copy was placed it the British equal to our Library Of Congress.A Beauchamp cousin uncovered this copy and wrote DeBrett's to inquire about the availibility of other copies. After obtaining her copy I wasmade aware of the book whic h I now have in my possession.The following is an exerpt from the book. This along with the copies of wills makes it obvious that Thomas's father was not a Roger Beauchamp but instead he was John Beauchamp. As time permits I will make more ofthe documentation available.

Thomas' widow, Agnes Beauchamp of Cosgrave, made her will on 16 Aug 1545. Most of her property was left to the church,or for charitable purposes, but she did make a bequest to Thomas Conquest, who was her brother, or brother-in-law . Finally, theearliest will we have identified relates to John Beauchamp of Cosgrove, and was dated 16 February 1536. He mentioned his brother, Thomas, who was his executor, his son William and daughter Emma.

Thus we can trace the Beauchamp family of Cosgrove back with a good degree of certainty to 1536 from probate sources. We consulted many other sources, such as Inquistions Post Mortems, marriage licenses and legal records in the Court Of Requests, but these produced no evidence of earlier generations. One source which may have identified the father of Thomas Beauchamp, the earliest known ancestor, is Lay Subsidy Rolls, which are records of taxations levied by Parliament. In1543/4, Thomas Beauchamp of Cosgrove was assessed for taxation. In1524/5, we find Richard, John and Thomas Beauchamp at Cosgrove. We know that Thomas and John were brothers, and we may speculate that Richard Beauchamp was their father. However, extensive searches in deeds, muster rolls, pipe rolls, close rolls and other Beauchamp families and individuals flourishing in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, have failed to produce firm evidence of the genealogy before 1536". 1601 Alice Freeman 1625 Edmund Beauchamp 1617 Alice Beauchamp 1615 - 1615 John Beauchamp 1616 Thomas Beauchamp 1619 Mary Beauchamp 1632 Richard Beauchamp 16 FEB 1634/35 Elizabeth Beauchamp 1629 George Beauchamp ~1529 Roger Beauchamp Elias Beauchamp Edmund Freeman Alice Cole Bennett Freeman ~1637 Elen Beauchamp ~1640 Sara Beauchamp Rufus Pudens (Rufus Pudens and St. Paul are shown to be half-brothers, with the same mother but different fathers. "His mother and mine." She thus appears to have been the mother of an elder son, Paul, by a Hebrew husband, and a younger son, Rufus, by a second marriage with a Roman Christian.)
Pudens, the Roman Senator and former aide-de-camp to Aulus Plautius, commander of the Roman forces in Britain, completed his army service at about this time and returned to Rome.

It seems that Pudens and Claudia had met in Britain, as Claudia's aunt Pomponia had married Pudens' commanding officer Plautius. They, Pudens and Claudia, married in about A.D. 53.

The Roman poet Martial, a friend of the couple, wrote some poetry on the occasion of the wedding. He also makes it evident that Pudens had served in Britain prior to his marriage. He speaks of Pudens suffering from the cold of "the Scythian (North) pole." A clear indication of his army service in Britain.

The poetry also strongly suggests that the couple were both converted Christians at the time of their marriage. Martial describes Pudens as the "sainted husband" of Claudia whom he writes of as having "sprung from the painted Britons."33 Elsewhere he asks, "Since Claudia wife of Rufus (Pudens) comes from the blue-set Britons, how is it that she has won the hearts of the Latin people."

The bright blue eyes of the Britons is also noted by Seneca. "The British lady, Claudia, to whom Martial addressed two or three of his epigrams, and others to Linus and Pudens, is supposed to be the very Claudia mentioned with Pudens and Linus, in Paul's second Epistle to Timothy. She is believed by Cambrian writers to be of the family of Caractacus, and, perhaps the first British Christian."34

Llin, described in Welsh records as a son of Caractacus, is thought by some to be the Linus mentioned by Martial and Paul, the brother of Claudia.

Roman writers mention the fact that Linus was ordained by Paul as the first bishop of Rome in A.D. 68. The significance of this event will be discussed in a later chapter.

"And he (Martial) addresses two or three of his epigrams to Linus, proving the connection of the three."35

The connection between the Pudens, Linus and Claudia mentioned by Martial, with their links with Britain, and a group of three related individuals having the same names described by Paul (II Tim. 4:21) has been noted by several authorities on the subject of church history.

"That there was a Pudens and Claudia living at Rome, both Christians we have it from... St. Paul himself. That this Claudia mentioned by St. Paul, then living at Rome, was the same Claudia, a Briton born, mentioned by Martial is the opinion and probable conjecture of many modern writers."36

We learn from Monocaxius: "That Claudia, mentioned by St. Paul, was Caractacus's daughter, and turned Christian, and after married to Pudens, a Roman Senator; whose marriage is celebrated by Martial in his noted epigrams to that purpose."37

There are several indications in the epigrams of Martial that the lifestyles of Pudens and Claudia were Christian rather than pagan. The poet, who seems to have been a family friend of the couple, does not mention their religion directly, and with good reason; during the later part of Nero's reign a Christian could be arrested and executed as an enemy of the state.

Roman poets often used the occasion of a wedding as an excuse for coarse jesting but Martial's poems relating to this couple are lacking in this type of humour.

`Claudia, the fair one from a foreign shore,

Is with my Pudens joined in wedlock's band.'38

O Concord, bless their couch for evermore,

Be with them in thy snow-white purity.

Let Venus grant, from her choicest store,

All gifts that suit their married unity,

When he is old may she be fond and true,

And she in age the charms of youth renew.'39

A little later, when children had been born to Claudia, he wrote:

Grant, O ye gods, that she may ever prove

The bliss of mother over girl and boy,

Still gladdened by her pious husband's love,

And in her children find perpetual joy.40

Martial, although perhaps having several friends amongst the Christians of Rome, was not himself of this faith, as is clearly demonstrated by his use of pagan terminology in his writings.

"But without insisting strongly on this argument, we may be able to infer, that the Claudia of Martial was connected with a circle at Rome, the members of which were imbued with Christian, rather than Roman principles."41

The epithet "Sanctus" or sainted applied by Martial to Pudens is much more likely to have been used in relation to a Christian than a non-Christian. The Apostle Paul uses similar terminology in his epistle to the Romans, written only a short time before Martial's epigrams, when he speaks of Christians at Rome "called to be saints" (Rom. 1:7).

Some have objected that because the epigrams were published during the reign of Domitian, who became emperor in A.D. 83, they could not have been related to individuals who were prominent during Nero's time some twenty to thirty years earlier.

"There is however reason to believe, as was remarked by Ussher, Collier and others, that many of the epigrams were written long before they were published, and consequently that the publication of the book was no test, of the age of the epigrams."42

Martial took up residence in Rome in A.D. 49 and left the city for Spain in A.D. 86. He would have been about thirty-eight years old when Paul wrote his second epistle to Timothy. There is nothing in the chronology of the period to indicate that the Claudia, Pudens and Linus of Martial were not the same individuals mentioned by Paul in his epistle.

Both writers were writing at about the same time, of individuals living in the same city. It is hardly likely that more than one group of three individuals having a close relationship with each other and having these names would have been living in the same city at the same time.

J. Williams in his comprehensive thesis on this subject remarks that: "It is therefore possible that the first Epigram to which I have alluded might have been written by Martial in the year 67, eighteen years after his arrival in Rome; being the same year in which the Apostle is generally supposed to have written the second Epistle to Timothy. And a broad margin of two or three years, on either side, may be allowed without interfering with the argument.43

Bale, and later Camden, identify Pudens and Claudia of II Timothy with the writings of Martial. The writings of the poet reveal that he had an intimate knowledge of events that took place in Nero`s reign.

Williams also makes the point that: "If the Pudens of St. Paul was the Pudens of Martial, and since the Pudens of Martial had married a British maiden, also called Claudia, it seems to me something more than probable that the Pudens of the inscription (Chichester Stone) was also the same identical person."44

"...there is no doubt that Pudens the husband of Claudia is mentioned in the Scriptures, for both are there, together with Linus, the brother of Claudia, in one sentence in II Timothy 4:21. The odds against the three being mentioned together, if they were not the members of the exiled family of Caractacus, must be very great."45

The residence of the couple at Rome, known as the Palatium Britannicum, seems to have been a regular meeting place for Christians. The high political and social status of Pudens and Claudia seems to have given them, for a time at least, a measure of freedom from persecution.

A series of Christian churches later occupied this site. The first was known as Titulus, the next Hospitium Aposolorum and finally St. Pudentiana, so named in honour of the martyred daughter of Claudia.

According to Cardinal Baronius: "It is delivered to us by the firm tradition of our forefathers that the house of Pudens was the first that entertained St. Peter at Rome, and that the Christians assembling formed the Church, and that of all our churches the oldest is that which is called after the name Pudens"46

The Jesuit Robert Parsons in The Three Conversions of England mentions that "Claudia was the first hostess or harbourer both of St. Peter and St. Paul at the time of their coming to Rome."

Roman tradition also relates that Pudens and Claudia retrieved the body of the apostle Paul following his martyrdom in about A.D. 68 and buried it in what was perhaps a family cemetery in the Via Ostiensis.

In later years the lives of this couple and their four children were clouded by sorrow. Claudia seems to have been the only member of the family to have died a natural death, in A.D. 97. Pudens and all of the children died as martyrs at various times during the closing years of the first century or the first half of the second.

A manuscript entitled "The Acts of Pastor and Timotheus," probably dating to the second century, describes some of the sad details: "Pudens went to his Saviour leaving his daughters strengthened with chastity and learned in all the divine law. These sold their goods and distributed the produce to the poor and persevered strictly in the love of Christ... They desired to have a baptistry in their house. Many pagans came thither to find the faith and receive baptism." The record mentions that their house "night and day resounded with hymns of praise."

When one of the young women was martyred, probably along with several other Christians, the manuscript relates: "Then Pudentiana went to God. Her sister and I wrapped her in perfumes, and kept her concealed in the oratory. Then after 28 days we carried her to the Cemetery of Priscilla and laid her near her father Pudens." Some sources give the date of her death as A.D. 107.

Several years later, a further wave of persecution claimed many more lives. The manuscript mentions that "That blessed Prassedis collected their bodies by night and buried them in the Cemetery of Priscilla... then the virgin of the Saviour, worn out with sorrow, only asked for death. Her tears and her prayers reached to heaven, and fifty-four days after her brethren had suffered she passed to God. And I, Pastor, the priest have buried her body near that of her father Pudens."

The two sons of Pudens and Claudia also died as martyrs during the first half of the second century. Timotheus is said to have been named after the evangelist Timothy, to whom Paul wrote two of his epistles. ~0920 Rhodri ap Hywel ~1255 Cobran MacDuff Genilles verch Hoedlyw ~1142 Owain ap Owain ~1060 - 1137 Gruffyd II ap Gruffydd 77 77 ~1116 - 1165 Lord Simon Corbet 49 49 ~1114 Walter Corbet ~1110 Roger Corbet ~1112 Sir William Corbet ~1020 - ~1286 Hugo "Le Corbeau" Le Corbet 266 266 This family history begins with Hugo le Corbet or le Corbeau. With two of his sons, Roger and Robert, Sir Hugo joined in the battle of Hastings with William the Conqueror in 1066. Hugo helped counsel the Conqueror in regards to the Welsh border lands which were rebellious. For their service as knights to the Conqueror, Robert and Roger were given Baronies. Roger received twenty-five manors. Robert received a grant of fifteen manors in Shropshire which became the barony of Longden. These Manors were townships under the Saxon rule. Roger called both his castle and barony "Caus" after his home in Normandy. The Corbets served under the Earl Roger de Montgomery. They were in service to help control the borders of Wales. -----Corbet Genealogy Ring

Roger Corbett's Shropshire Land Holdings in Domesday 1086
Corbet and FitzCorbet, a Norman family from Pays de Caux claims ancient Viking origin from the original settlers in Normandy under Rollo, the first Duke of Normandy. The father, called Le Normand, or simply Norman, had four sons, Hugue(Hugh/Hugo), Roger, Reynaud and Robert. Hugh and Reynaud stayed in Normandy in the senior family domains. The family adopted the surname Moreton in Normandy. The father, and sons Roger and Robert, were at the Battle of Hastings. Between them, they were granted 38 lordships in Shropshire where they assisted Earl Roger in the administration of his domains in that county. Roger Corbet built a border fortress at his Castle at Alfreton which he named Caux Castle after his home domain in Normandy. It was later spelt Cause. The holdings in Derbyshire of the father, called Norman, Roger the second eldest son and Robert the youngest son, both sons sometimes listed as FitzCorbet, are listed together as family domains. They were under-tenants of Earl Roger in Shropshire.

March 17, 1473--d. Sept. 9, 1513, near Branxton, Northumberland, Eng.), king of Scotland from 1488 to 1513. An energetic and popular ruler, he unified Scotland under royal control, strengthened royal finances, and improved Scotland's position in European politics.

James succeeded to the throne after his father, James III, was killed in a battle against rebels on June 11, 1488. The 15-year-old monarch immediately began to take an active part in government. He extended his authority to the sparsely populated areas of western and northern Scotland and by 1493 had humbled the last lord of the Isles.

Although his reign was internally peaceful, it was disturbed by wars with England. Breaking a truce with England in 1495, James prepared an invasion in support of Perkin Warbeck, a pretender to the English throne. The war was confined to a few border forays, and a seven-year peace was negotiated in December 1497, though border raids continued. Relations between England and Scotland were further stabilized in 1503, when James married Margaret Tudor, the eldest daughter of the English king Henry VII; this match resulted, a century later, in the accession of James's great-grandson, the Stuart monarch James VI of Scotland, to the English throne as King James I.

James IV's growing prestige enabled him to negotiate as an equal with the rulers of conti nental Europe, but his position was weakened as he came into conflict with King Henry VIII of England (ruled 1509-47). In 1512 James allied with France against England and the major continental powers. When Henry invaded France in 1513, James decided, against the counsel of his advisers, to aid his ally by advancin g into England. He captured four castles in northern England in August 1513, bu t his army was disastrously defeated at the Battle of Flodden, near Branxton, o n Sept. 9, 1513. The King was killed while fighting on foot, and most of his no bles perished. James left one legitimate child, his successor, James V (ruled 1 513-42); in addition, he had many illegitimate children, several of whom became prominent figures in Scotland.

True to the ideal of the Renaissance prince, James strove to make his court a centre of refinement and learning. He patronized literature, licensed Scotland's first printers, and improved education. His career is recounted in R.L. Mackie's King James IV of Scotland (1958). [Britan nica CD '97]

James IV (1488-1513) James IV, born on 17 March 1473, was 15 when his father's enemies forced him to ride with them to the Battle of Sauchieburn, and for the rest of his life he wore an iron belt as a penance. For the first time in a century, Scotland had a king who was able to start ruling for himself at once for, as Erasmus once commented, 'He had wonderful powers of mind, an astonishing knowledge of everything, an unconquerable magnanimity and the most abundant generosity.' He spoke Latin (at that time the international language ), French, German, Flemish, Italian, Spanish and some Gaelic, and took an active interest in literature, science and the law, even trying his hand at dentistry and minor surgery.
Under James' vigorous rule, he extended royal administration to the west and north - by 1493, he had overcome the last independent lord of the Isles.

With his patronage the printing press came to Scotland, and the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, St Leonard's College, St Andrews an d King's College, Aberdeen were founded. He commissioned building work at the r oyal residences of Linlithgow Palace, Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle, and developed a strong navy led by his flagship, the Great Michael, said to be the largest vessel of the time.

To begin with, relations with England were difficult: in 1495, James supported the pretender Perkin Warbeck in his claim to the English throne. Even so, he was anxious to maintain peace with England and concluded a peace treaty in 1502. 1508 Margaret Stuart 1509 Arthur Stuart 1512 James V Stuart James V (1513-42) When James IV was kil led at Flodden, yet another royal minority ensued, for his son James V was only one year old. The Scots were reluctant to accept his English mother Margaret Tudor as Regent, and after her remarriage in 1514 they replaced her with James I V's half-French cousin, the Duke of Albany. Queen Margaret's tempestuous private life complicated her son's childhood, and after she divorced her second husband, Archibald Douglas 6th Earl of Angus, the Earl kidnapped young James. For two years he held him captive, showering him with gifts and introducing him to a round of unsuitable pleasures. James loathed his former stepfather, and finally managed to escape in 1528, to rule by himself.

James' personal rule began by savagely pursuing his opponents and he hounded the Earl of Angus out of Scot land. James combined suspicion of nobles with a popular touch, travelling anony mously among Scottish people as the 'Gudeman o'Ballengeich'. John Knox describe d him thus: 'he was called of some, a good poor man's king; of others he was termed a murderer of the nobility, and one that had decreed their whole destruction'.

In 1536 he decided to marry. A highly strung, intelligent man who alte rnated between black depression and bouts of feverish energy, he had already fa thered at least nine illegitimate children by a series of mistresses. He now chose as his wife Princess Madeleine of France, for he was eager to strengthen 'the Auld Alliance' against England. The Princess was tubercular, and she died in his arms on 7 July 1537, seven weeks after her arrival in Edinburgh. In 1538 he married another French lady, the widowed Mary of Guise, tall, well-built and already the mother of two sons. She had two more sons by James but they both died in infancy within hours of each other in 1541.

James V's uncle, Henry VIII, who had by now broken with the Roman Catholic Church and dissolved the monasteries, was urging him to do the same. He refused to listen to his uncle's persuasions and in 1542 failed to go to an arranged meeting with Henry at York. Furious, Henry launched an invasion of Scotland. Already ill, James marched south with his army, to defeat at the Battle of Solway Moss on the Scottish/English Border, on 24 November 1542.

Although he himself had not been present at the battle, James suffered a complete nervous collapse. Retiring to Falkland Palace in Fife he took to his bed with a high fever and, when a messenger came to tell him that his pregnant queen had given birth to a daughter instead of the hoped-for son, he believed that the Stewart dynasty was at an end. 'It cam wi' a lass and it will gang wi' a lass', he said, remembering how the crown had come to his family through Marjorie Bruce and fearing that no woman could ever rule his troubled nation. Six days later, he was dead.

On Dece mber the 13th her father, James died, making the 6 day-old Mary the Queen of Sc otland. From very early on in her life, Mary was the subject of plots by both t he pro-English and pro-French forces in Scotland who wanted to gain control of the throne through her. Later, when her mother became Queen Regent of France, M ary was sent to France to live as part of the French Royalty. While in France M ary eventually married, in April of 1558, Dauphin Francis. She later became the Queen of France, as well as Scotland, when Francis succeeded his father to bec ome King Francis II in July 1559. In addition, Mary was also recognized as the true Queen of England by many Roman Catholics who believed her claim to the thr one was stronger than that of the Protestant (and cousin of Mary) Elizabeth I. Mary was forced to return to Scotland however when her husband Francis II died after only a 17-month reign.

Mary's ship landed in Leith on 19th August 156 1 and she almost immediately followed the suggestions of her advisors by recogn izing the Reformed Presbyterian church. This act did not sit very well with the Catholics who thought she should be more zealous in the support of their cause , and the Protestants were naturally suspicious of her motives because of her C atholicism. She spent several years trying to placate the Protestants, but all this became undone when, on 29th July 1565, she married her first cousin Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley

This marriage caused great outrage among the Protesta nts, some of whom staged a rebellion, which was quickly crushed by Mary. Things started to go downhill for her from this point; the rebellion caused her to wi thdraw some of her support from the Reformed Church and her marriage to Lord Da rnley began to sour. The culmination however came on 9th March 1566 when a grou p of Protestants, under the instruction of Darnley, forced Mary to watch as the y murdered her Italian Secretary David Rizzio. Many of the Protestant lords bel ieved that Rizzio had too much influence over Mary, and also suspected him of b eing a papal spy.

The murder, which occurred while Mary was 6 months pregna nt, left her alienated from Darnley and her supporters, and also caused her to befriend James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell. In Edinburgh Castle on 19th June 1566 , she gave birth to a son, James, and soon afterwards began looking for ways to end her marriage with Darnley in favour of Bothwell. Darnley was murdered on t he10th February, 1567 at Kirk o' Field under mysterious circumstances that are still unexplained to this day. Bothwell was believed to have committed, or at l east instigated, the killing, but was acquitted because there was no proof.

Bothwell, shortly after obtaining a divorce from his wife, was wed with Mary a ccording to the Protestant rite (there is some belief among historians that Bot hwell kidnapped Mary and then married her against her will). This estranged Mar y from even some of her most loyal supporters, causing them and many of the nob les to confront Mary and her new husband at Carberry. Bothwell fled while she w as forced to surrender and was imprisoned at Lochleven Castle. Then, on 24th Ju ly 1567, she was forced to abdicate, making her son James the King, but she lat er escaped with the aid of a few of her remaining allies.

After her escape, Mary quickly raised an army, but was soundly beaten in battle at Langside on 1 3th May 1568 by Protestant forces. Her army and support gone, Mary was forced t o flee to England to beg for aid from Elizabeth, the Queen and her cousin. Rath er than helping her however, Elizabeth had Mary imprisoned, where she spent the remainder of her life. During her incarceration, many Roman Catholic plots to remove the Protestant Queen from power revolved around Mary, but were thwarted by English agents.

king of Scotland (as James VI) f rom 1567 to 1625 and first Stuart king of England from 1603 to 1625, who styled himself "king of Great Britain." James was a strong advocate of royal absolutism, and his conflicts with an increasingly self-assertive Parliament set the stage for the rebellion against his successor, Charles I.
James was the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley. Eight months after James's birth his father died when his house was destroyed b y an explosion. After her third marriage, to James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, M ary was defeated by rebel Scottish lords and abdicated the throne. James, one y ear old, became king of Scotland on July 24, 1567; Mary left the kingdom on May 16, 1568, and never saw her son again. During his minority James was surrounded by a small band of the great Scottish lords, from whom emerged the four successive regents, the earls of Moray, Lennox, Mar, and Morton. There did not exist in Scotland the great gulf between rulers and ruled that separated the Tudors and their subjects in England. For nine generations the Stuarts had in fact bee n merely the ruling family among many equals, and James all his life retained a feeling for those of the great Scottish lords who gained his confidence.
The young king was kept fairly isolated but was given a good education until the ag e of 14. He studied Greek, French, and Latin and made good use of a library of classical and religious writings that his tutors, George Buchanan and Peter You ng, assembled for him. James's education aroused in him literary ambitions rare ly found in princes but which also tended to make him a pedant.
Before James was 12 he had taken the government nominally into his own hands when the Earl o f Morton was driven from the regency in 1578. For several years more, however, James remained the puppet of contending intriguers and faction leaders. After f alling under the influence of the Duke of Lennox, a Roman Catholic who schemed to win back Scotland for the imprisoned Queen Mary, James was kidnapped by Will iam Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie, in 1582 and was forced to denounce Lennox. The following year James escaped from his Protestant captors and began to pursue his own policies as king. His chief purposes were to escape from subservience to Scottish factions and to establish his claim to succeed the childless Elizabet h I upon the throne of England. Realizing that more was to be gained by cultiva ting Elizabeth's goodwill than by allying himself with her enemies, James in 15 85-86 concluded an alliance with England. Thenceforward, in his own unsteady fa shion, he remained true to this policy, and even Elizabeth's execution of his mother in 1587 drew from him only formal protests.
In 1589 James was married to Anne, the daughter of Frederick II of Denmark, who, in 1594, gave birth to their first son, Prince Henry. James's rule of Scotland was basically successful. He was able to play off Protestant and Roman Catholic factions of Scottish nobles against each other, and through a group of commissioners known as the Octavians (1596-97), he was able to rule Scotland almost as absolutely as Elizabeth r uled England. The king was a convinced Presbyterian, but in 1584 he secured a series of acts that made him the head of the Presbyterian church in Scotland, wi th the power to appoint the church's bishops.
When James at length succeeded to the English throne on the death of Elizabeth I (March 24, 1603), he was already, as he told the English Parliament, "an old and experienced king" and one with a clearly defined theory of royal government. Unfortunately, neither his experience nor his theory equipped him to solve the new problems facing him; 1516 - 1571 Matthew Stuart 54 54 ~1548 Charles Stuart 1473 Thomas Howard JAN 1536/37 Robert Howard Margaret Hepburn Margaret Maxwell James Douglas ~1469 - 1513 George Douglas 44 44 ~1470 - 1514 Elizabeth Drummond 44 44 Margaret Douglas Elizabeth Douglas 1495 Janet Douglas 1513 George Douglas ~1448 - 1519 John Drummond 71 71 ~1385 Marjory Ogilvy ~1472 Margaret Drummond ~1474 Annabella Drummond ~1476 William Drummond ~1478 Eupheme Drummond ~1410 - 1438 Alexander Lindsay 28 28 ~1415 - ~1496 Margaret Dunbar 81 81 ~1435 Walter Lindsay 1448 - 1503 Archibald Douglas 55 55 1449 - <1498 Elizabeth Boyd 49 49 ~1470 Marion Douglas William Douglas 1426 - 12 MAR 1461/62 George Douglas ~1429 Isobel Sibbald 1452 Jane Douglas 1456 Margaret Douglas ~1492 - 1526 John Stuart 34 34 ~1494 - >1533 Elizabeth Stewart 39 39 ~1518 John Stuart ~1520 Helen Stuart ~1522 Robert Stuart ~1469 - 1513 Matthew Stuart 44 44 1473 - 1531 Elizabeth Hamilton 58 58 ~1497 Margaret Stuart ~1499 Mungo Stuart ~1501 Agnes Stuart ~1505 Elizabeth Stuart ~1510 Matthew Stuart ~1423 - 1479 James Hamilton 56 56 1452 - 1488 Mary Stuart 36 36 1473 Mary Hamilton 1477 James Hamilton Patrick Hamilton Robert Hamilton 1430 - 1460 James II Stuart 29 29 Ruled from 1437 thru 1460.

He was a sickly child, and, when his father became king of England in March 1603, he was temporarily left behind in Scotland because of the risks of the journey. Devoted to his elder brother, Henry, and to his sister, Elizabeth, he became lonely when Henry died (1612) and his sister left England in 1613 to marry Frederick V, elector of the Rhine Palatinate (see James I).
All his life Charles had a Scots accent and a slight stammer. Small in stature, he was less dignified than his portraits by the Flemish painter Sir Anthony Van Dyck suggest. He was always shy and struck observers as being silent and reserved. His excellent temper, courteous manners, and lack of vices impressed all those who met him, but he lacked the common touch, travelled about little, and never mixed with ordinary people. A patron of the arts (notably of painting a nd tapestry; he brought both Van Dyck and another famous Flemish painter, Peter Paul Rubens, to England), he was, like all the Stuarts, also a lover of horses and hunting. He was sincerely religious, and the character of the court became less coarse as soon as he became king. From his father he acquired a stubborn belief that kings are intended by God to rule, and his earliest surviving letters reveal a distrust of the unruly House of Commons with which he proved incapable of coming to terms. Lacking flexibility or imagination, he was unable to understand that those political deceits that he always practiced in increasingly vain attempts to uphold his authority eventually impugned his honour and damaged his credit.
In 1623, before succeeding to the throne, Charles, accompanied by the Duke of Buckingham, King James I's favourite, made an incognito visit to Spain in order to conclude a marriage treaty with the daughter of King Philip III. When the mission failed, largely because of Buckingham's arrogance and the Spanish court's insistence that Charles become a Roman Catholic, he joined Buckingham in pressing his father for war against Spain. In the meantime a marriage treaty was arranged on his behalf with Henrietta Maria, sister of the French king, Louis XIII.

February 1316, in which he is designated Colinus filius Cambel, militis. As a reward for assisting the Steward of Scotland in 1334 in the recovery of the castle of Dunoon, in Cowal, Sir Colin was made hereditary governor of the castle, and has the grant of certain lands for the support of his dignity. Sir Colin died about 1340.

actions, and was knighted by King Alexander the Third in 1280. He added largely to his estates, and on account of his great prowess he obtained the surname of Mohr or More ("great"); from him the chief of the Argyll family is in Gaelic styled Mac Chaillan More.

Sir Colin Campbell had a quarrel with a powerful neighbour of his, the Lord of Lorn, and after he had defeated him, pursuing the victory too eagerly,  was slain (in 1294) at a place called the string of Cowal, where a great obelisk was erected over his grave.

Endeavored after his father's death to recover the Lordship of the Lorn
by force of arms until a compromise was affected 1469, between him and his
uncle, Walter Stewart, by which it was agreed that Dugald should retain the
Appin estates in Upper Lorn, and forego his claims to Lordship of Lorn.

---------------------------------
From the book "The Stewart's of Appin":
Pages 75 & 76: "Dugald Stewart ... he resided at Ardveich till 1463,
when his father sent him a message directing him to come to Dunstaffnage with
his mother. They set out as a bridal party, with pipes and banners,
accompanied by a party of Dugald's kinsmen from the Lorn, and some of his
mother's friends, the Maclarens. ... They clearly show that the party had set
out for the purpose of the marriage, and Dugald's consequent legitimation. ...
The tradition of the Stewart's is that the murder was committed when Sir
John was on his way from the Castle to the chapel, which is close at hand,
where the marriage was to be performed.
The murderers fled instantly after Sir John was stabbed; and Dugald
would at once have pursued them had he not be restrained by the priest, who
pointed out that no time was to be lost in having the marriage completed, as
Lord Lorn was to all appearance mortally wounded. The rite was accordingly
performed, the priest assisting the dying man to place the ring on the Bride's
finger, and the ceremony being so public that no doubt of its due completion
was entertained in Argyllshire. Meantime, however, Alan M'Coule and his
accomplices had time to effect their escape." ~1420 John Mourach Stuart ~1360 - >1439 Robert Stuart 79 79 ~1280 - 1334 Hugh MacAntagart 54 54 ~1252 Christina MacAntagart ~1340 Margaret Murdock Graham ~1365 Walter Stuart ~1340 Margaret le Baird ~1345 Isabel MacDougall ~1315 Ewan MacDougall ~1320 - 1387 Sir Robert Stuart 67 67 ~1610 - 1687 John Rediat 77 77 Daniel Farrabas Hannah James Stuart Hannah Stuart Samuel Stuart Margaret Stuart John Stuart 6 FEB 1689/90 Daniel Stewart ~1505 Daughter Of Cameron Of Locheil ~1532 - <1547 Sir Duncan Stuart 15 15 ~1540 Janet Gordon 1570 Sir John Stuart ~1575 Katherine Campbell ~1599 Sir Duncan Stuart Daughter Of MacDonald Of Muidart ~1590 John Stuart ~1600 Daughter Of Cameron Of Lochnell ~1630 Sir Duncan Stuart ~1460 Daughter Of MacDougall Of Nether Lorn ~1430 MacDougall Of Nether Lorn Walter Stuart Allan Stuart David Stuart Robert Stuart Alexander Stuart ~1363 Archibald Stuart ~1365 Alexander Stuart ~1370 William Stuart ~1373 Christian Stuart ~1330 - 1390 Walter Murray 60 60 ~1380 Jean Stuart 1383 James Stuart ~1386 Margaret Stuart Marjory Stuart ~1375 - 1457 Isabel Stuart 82 82 ~1050 - 1083 1st Earl of Mar Morgund 33 33 ~1363 - 1425 Murdock Stuart 62 62 When Robert Stewart Duke of Albany died at the age of about eighty-one, his son Murdock Stewart succeeded him as Governor of Scotland. His attempt at governing foundered after four years of futile misrule. In 1424 King James I, his cousin, returned to Scotland after eighteen years of imprisonment in England. Since James I's kingship had been at risk while imprisoned in England, he did not intend for it to be threatened upon his return to Scotland. In 1425 he ordered Murdock & his two sons beheaded at Sterling. ~1365 Janet Stuart ~1366 Maria Stuart ~1250 - 1323 William MacAntagart 73 73 John Stuart Andrew Stuart Robert Stuart Marjory Stuart 1421 Robert Stuart ~1392 - 1425 Sir Walter Stuart 33 33 ~1394 Sir Alexander Stuart ~1396 - ~1451 James Mohr Stuart 55 55 James reacted to his father's execution by leading an attack on Dumbarton, burning it and killing the governor of the castle, John Stewart.

Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (Y Lliw Olaf: Llywelyn the Last 1246-1282). Welsh custom meant that Llewelyn's kingdom would be divided among all four male heirs. Though Llywelyn the Great had tried desperately to ensure that his kingdoms would pass in entirety to his son Dafydd, it was not to be. Within one month of his accession, Dafydd was forced to surrender much of his father's gains to the new English King, Henry III. His premature death left Gwynedd to be divided between the sons of his brother Gruffudd, including Owain and Llywelyn. The infamous Treat of Woodstock had restricted their lands to Gwynedd, west of the River Conwy held as vassals of King Henry, but Llywelyn was not satisfied. He attempted to regain the lost territories and prestige of his uncle, Llywelyn the Great. Starting by depriving this brothers of authority, he began his campaign by attacking English castles and overrunning many.

Recognized by other Welsh rulers, Llywelyn assumed the title of Prince of Wales in 1258, a date commemorated by all in Wales who detest the idea of the first born son of the English monarch assuming that role as a gift (in 1301, an odious and thoroughly bogus title was bestowed by Edward I to his eleventh child, son of Elinor and born at Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd in 1284). Troubles with Henry III's barons led him to accede to many of Llywelyn's demands and in 1267, at the Treat of Montgomery, the Welshman (and his heirs) was confirmed as Prince of Wales. The accession of Edward I however, as king of a united England, meant the end of the ambitions of Llywelyn.

Yet again, an English invasion of Wales meant that its rulers were stripped of most of their possessions and The Treaty of Aberconwy restricted Llywelyn from all his territories east of the Conwy. At Climeri, near Builth in mid-Wales in December, 1282, Llywelyn was killed by English soldiers in a skirmish with the English 11 Dec. 1282 during the last Welsh rebellion. The head of the last native-born Welsh princes was sent to London to be mounted as that of a traitor. Yet another ballad by Dafydd Iwan poignantly expresses sorrow at the death of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd.

The royal house of Gwynedd was no more, and with its decease came the virtual end of the ruling families of the Kingdom of Wales.

Simon de Montfort's Rebellion, 1265

This account, ascribed to a monk Matthew, living in Westminster Abbey, describes the rebellion of Simon de Montfort and his short-lived success, during the reign of Henry III, in 1265. The chronicler is by no means sympathetic to the rebellion. The prominence of these events is because the parliament summoned by Simon was seen, with some exaggeration, by 19th century historians, as the first modern parliament. The chronicler is less impressed.

Simon de Montfort, the illustrious earl of Leicester , and the barons, having assembled their forces from all quarters, and collected troops, both of the Londoners, whose army had increased to fifteen thousand men, and of men from other parts in countless numbers, marched thither with great impetuosity and courage. Accordingly, they encamped at Flexinge, in Sussex, which is about six miles from Lewes, and three days before the battle, they addressed a message of the following tenor to their lord the king--

"To the most excellent lord Henry, by the grace Of God, king of England, &c. The barons and others, his faithful subjects, wishing to observe their oaths and the fidelity due to God and to him, wish health, and tender their lawful service with all respect and honor. As it is plain from much experience that those who are present with you have suggested to your highness many falsehoods respecting us, intending all the mischief that they can do, not only to you but also to us, and to your whole kingdom, we wish your excellency to know that we wish to preserve the safety and security of your person with all our might, as the fidelity which we owe to you demands, proposing to overthrow, to the utmost of our power, all those who are not our enemies but yours too, and the foes of the whole of your kingdom; and if any other statement is made to you respecting these matters, do not believe it; for we shall always be found your faithful subjects. And we, Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, and Gilbert de Clare, at the request of the rest, have, for us and for them too who are here present, affixed our seals. Given at," etc.

But the king, despising this letter from his barons, was eager for war with all his heart, and sent them back the following letter of defiance:-

"Henry, by the grace of God, king of England, &c., to Simon de Montfort and Gilbert de Clare, and their partisans. Since, from the war and general confusion existing in our kingdom, which has all been caused by you, and by the conflagrations and other lawless mischiefs, it is distinctly visible that you do not preserve the fidelity which you owe to us, and that you have in no respect any regard for the safety of our person, since you have wickedly attacked our nobles and others our faithful subjects, who have constantly preserved their fidelity to us, and since you still design to injure them as far as in your power, as you have signified to us by your letters, we consider their grievances as our own, and look upon their enemies as ours; especially since those our faithful subjects before mentioned are manfully standing by us and maintaining their fidelity in opposition to your disloyal conduct, and we do not care for your safety or for your affection, but defy you, as the enemies of us and them. Witness my hand, at Lewes, on the twelfth day of May, in the forty-eighth year of our reign."

"Richard, by the grace of God, king of the Romans, always Augustus, and Edward, the illustrious eldest son of the king of England, and all the other barons and nobles who constantly with the labors of sincere good faith and devotedness have adhered to the aforesaid king of England, to Simon de Montfort, Gilbert de Clare, and each and all the others who are accomplices in their treason. By your letters which you have sent to the illustrious king of England, our dearest lord, we understand that we are defied by you, although a verbal defiance of this kind was long ago sufficiently proved to us by actual reality, through your hostile pursuit of us, your burning of our properties, and general devastation of our possessions; we, therefore, wish you to know that you are all defied by each and all of us, as public enemies, and that we are your enemies; and that we will labor with all our might to the damage of your persons and property, whenever any opportunity of injuring either is offered . to us. But as to what- you falsely charge us with, that we give neither faithful nor salutary counsel to the king your master, you do not at all say the truth; and if you, Simon de Montfort or Gilbert de Clare, choose to assert this same thing in the court of our lord the king, we are prepared to procure a safe conduct and to come to the said court, and to prove the truth of our innocence in this particular, and your falsehood as perfidious traitors, by another who is your equal in nobleness and blood. And we are all content with the seals of the lords above mentioned, namely, of the king of the Romans and the lord Edward. Given as above."

As, therefore, God did by no means admit of their coming to agreement, a most terrible battle took place between them, at Lewes, on the fourteenth of May, such as had never been heard of in past ages. The barons (among whom there was in all things and in every danger but one faith and one will, since they were so unanimous in their fraternal affection that they feared not even to die for their cause,) came the first thing in the morning in front of Lewes, and placed their tents and baggage on a hill, the chariot of the earl of Leicester, with his standard, being carefully placed below under the brow. And so the army and line of battle were arranged, and a speech of great persuasiveness was made to the soldiers by their general, Simon de Montfort, by which all were encouraged, and prepared to fight for their country with every feeling of security. Moreover, all of them having made a confession beforehand, crossed themselves on their shoulders and breasts. Therefore, the king and the other nobles, being informed of their sudden advance, wakened up all through the camp, and speedily assembled in arms, and marshaled their army for battle, arraying a vast multitude of men armed with breastplates; but the greater number of them being false and factious, and destitute of all proper principle, marched forward on that day without any order, and with precipitation, and fought unskillfully, and showed no steady perseverance. And in the actual battle the noblest of the knights and esquires, to the number of about three hundred, lost all courage, and turning their backs, fled to the castle of Peneneselli. Among them, were John, earl of Warrenne, William de Valence, Guy de Lizunac, both the two last being brothers of the king, Hugh Bigod, and many others. But the king's army, which was adorned with the royal standard, which they call the dragon, and which marshaled the way to a fierce contest to the death, advanced forward, and the battle began. For the royal troops rapidly opened their close battalions, and boldly urged their horses against the enemy, and attacked them on the flank. And thus the two armies encountered one another, with fierce blows and horrid noises. Therefore, in this way, the line of battle of the barons was pierced and broken; and John de Giffard, a gallant knight, who had been ambitious to gain the honor of striking the first blow, was taken prisoner, and led, away to the castle. But Edward got among the forces of the Londoners, and pursued them when flying, and letting the nobles escape, he followed them, as it is said, for a distance of about four miles, inflicting on them a most lamentable slaughter. For he thirsted for their blood as a punishment for the insult they had offered to his mother, for, as has been already recorded, they had heaped a great deal of abuse on his mother. But a part of the king's army, in the meantime, thirsting for the spoils, and booty, and plunder of the baggage which was on the hills, slew some of the citizens of London, who, for security's sake, had been introduced into the earl's chariot, hoping that they had found the earl himself there. But that earl, and Gilbert de Clare, and the other barons, acting with more sagacity, put forth all their strength to effect the capture of the king of England, and the king of Germany, and the rest of the chiefs. And there the fiery valor of the barons was visibly displayed, who fought eagerly for their country, and at last gained the victory. For the king of England was taken prisoner, after a very fine horse had been killed under him; and Richard, king of the Romans, was taken prisoner, and many others were taken also, namely, John de Balliol, Robert de Bruce, John Comyn, and other barons of Scotland , and nearly all the men-at-arms whom they had brought with them from Scotland were slain, to a very great number.

There was but little mention made for a year of the deliverance of Edward, the king's eldest son, until he himself, as the price of his release, gave his palatine county of Chester to the aforesaid earl of Leicester, and thus he purchased his liberation from the imprisonment and custody of the knights, his enemies. No one can adequately relate the condition of the nobles of the Marches, and the persecutions which they endured for a year and more. But when the earl of Leicester endeavored to banish these lords marchers into Ireland, they, entering the camp of the king's eldest son, on the extreme borders of Wales, plundered the Welsh castles of their enemies before mentioned, and thus furnished themselves with the necessary supplies, until the aforesaid earl of Leicester, having taken prisoner earl Ferrars, who secretly inclined to the party adverse to the capture of the earl of Gloucester, who has been often mentioned, and whom they suspected of similar sentiments, came having united with the to Gloucester. For then the lords marchers earl of Gloucester to meet their common danger, when the earl of Warrenne and William de Valence came with a large company of cross-bowmen and knights and landed in South Wales, they were inspired with greater boldness to resist the attacks of their persecutors; and to march to encounter the earl of Leicester and his friends, who were leading the king of England and his son to Hereford as prisoners; who marched on, being accompanied by his own army, and that of the prince of North Wales, while Simon, his second son, as the general and commander of the royal army, which had been levied throughout the kingdom, advanced from the other side, so that the two hemmed in the earls of Gloucester and Warrenne, and the lords marchers, and slew them all. But by the overruling providence of God, who is the doorkeeper of prisons, the release of the prisoners was effected, and on the Thursday in Whitsun week, the eldest son of the king went out into the fields about Hereford with his comrades and guards to take exercise, and then, when they had all mounted their destrier horses, and fatigued them with galloping, he, after that, mounted a horse of his own which was not tired, and requesting leave of his companions (though he did not obtain it), he went with all speed to the lord Roger de Mortimer, at Wigemor. And the next day, the earls of Gloucester and Warrenne, with their followers, met Edward at Ludlow, and forgetting all their mutual injuries and quarrels, and renewing their friendship, they proceeded with courage and alacrity to break down the bridges and sink the ferry-boats over the Severn. Afterwards, as their force was increased by the friends of the aforesaid Edward, whom the power of the adverse party had long compelled to lie hid, and when they had taken Gloucester, and treated the prisoners with most extravagant cruelty, the earl of Leicester and his army, being hemmed in the district about Hereford, were compelled to lead their nominal king about as a prisoner, and to subject him, against his will, to all the hardships of captivity.

And when Simon, the son of the aforesaid earl of Leicester, had, with many barons and knights, traversed and plundered all Kent, and the country about Winchester and the other southern districts of England, and then proceeded, to his own misfortune, with great speed to Kenilworth to meet his father, the aforesaid Edward and Gilbert and their armies, being, by the favor of God, forewarned of his approach, attacked his army at dawn on the day of Saint Peter ad Vincula, and took them all prisoners, except Simon and a few with him who escaped into the castle, and put them in chains, and stripped those robbers and plunderers of all their booty, and so celebrated a day of feasting at the New Chains.

The earl of Leicester and his companions, being ignorant of this event, and marching on with all speed, reached the river Severn that very same day, and having examined the proper fords, crossed the river at twilight with the design of meeting and finding the aforesaid Simon and his army, who were coming from England, and having stopped the two next days on the borders of Worcestershire, on the third day they entered the town of Evesham, and while they were occupying themselves there with refreshing their souls, which had been long fainting under hunger and thirst, with a little food, their scouts brought them word that the lord Edward and his army were not above two miles off. So the earl of Leicester and the barons marching out with their lord the king (whom they took with them by force) to the rising ground of a gentle hill, beheld Edward and his army on the top of a hill, not above a stone's throw from them, and hastening to them. And a wonderful conflict took place, there being slain on the part of the lord Edward only one knight of moderate prowess, and two esquires. On the other side there fell on the field of battle Simon, earl of Leicester, whose head, and hands, and feet were cut off, and Henry, his son, Hugh Despenser, justiciary of England, Peter de Montfort, William de Mandeville, Radulph Basset, Roger St. John, Walter de Despigny, William of York, and Robert Tregos, all very powerful knights and barons, and besides all the guards and warlike cavalry fell in the battle, with the exception of ten or twelve nobles, who were taken prisoners. And the names of the nobles who were wounded and taken prisoners were as follows: Guy de Montfort, son of the earl of Leicester John Fitz-John, Henry de Hastings, Humphrey de Peter de Montfort the younger, Bohun the younger, John de Vescy, and Nicholas de Segrave. . . .

Therefore, the battle of Evesham having been thus gallantly fought, the king and the nobles of the kingdom assembled at Winchester, and ordered that the richer citizens of the city of London should be thrust into prison, that the citizens should be deprived of their ancient liberties, and that the palisades and chains with which the city-was fortified should be removed, because the citizens had boldly adhered to Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, in contempt of the king and also to the injury of the kingdom; all which was done, for the more powerful citizens were thrown into prison at the castle of Windsor, and were afterwards punished with a pecuniary fine of no inconsiderable amount. All liberty was forbidden to the citizens, and the Tower of London was made stronger by the palisades and chains which had belonged to the city.

After this, a sentence of confiscation was pronounced at Westminster, on the feast of the translation of the blessed Edward, against the king's enemies, whose lands the king bestowed without delay on his own faithful followers. But some of those against whom this sentence was pronounced redeemed their possessions by payment of a sum of money, others uniting in a body lay hid in the Woods, living miserably on plunder and rapine; the most powerful and mischievous of whom was Robert, earl Ferrars, who was restored to the full possession of his property, on condition that his loyalty to the king, he should lose his if ever he departed from earldom. . . ~1230 Hugh Brandeston Sibell ~1200 Hugh Brandeston ~1175 Radus Brandeston 1255 John Holt ~1170 Tanghurst de Meschines ~1155 Ralph de Mainwaring * Title: Ancestry of Richard Plantagenet & Cecily de Neville

* 14 FEB 1347/48 - 1402 Sir William VII Brereton Baron of half of Malpas,  lord of Egerton and Brereton
Governor of Caen. Born 14th February 1348/9 at Egerton
baptised at Malpas, Died of "honourable wounds" at Harfleur in 1402.

| Married at Audley, 1386.

Sir William Brereton, of Brereton, married his cousin, Angella (Annilla
  or Anylla), daughter of Hugh Venables, Baron of Kinderton, who
  died 41st of Edward III, and his wife Agatha, daughter of Sir Ralph
  Vernon, Baron of Shipbrooke. This marriage was confirmed by dispensation,
  which indulgence states that it was granted in consequence of the
  services of his father in the crusade against Henry of Castile, under
  Edward, the Black Prince. This William served with great distinction in
  the French Wars of Henry V. Chandler, in his Life of Bishop Wainfleet,
  speaks of Sir William Brereton, who through his daughter Margery was
  grandfather of the founder of Magdalen College. Chandler states Sir
  William to have afterwards been Governor of Caen, and to have routed a
  numerous army of French near Mont St. Michel, and to have returned
  home "with glory and increase of fortune." Sir William died in 4th of
  Henry VI, 1425, probably of honourable wounds received at the Battle of
  Pontoisan. By his first wife Anylla he had William, Hugh and Matthew
  and two daughters, Elizabeth, of whom further, and Margery, wife of
  Richard Patten alias Wainfleet. By his 2nd wife, Elena, daughter of Sir
William Massey, he had a son Thomas, rector of Brereton 1433. William
  succeeded not only to the Brereton estate, but also in right of his mother
  to a share of the Barony of Malpas, which Elena's sister Isabella Delves
  had succeeded in wresting from David Malpas, the Bastard. William's
  1st wife was related to him in the 4th degree on each side, in consequence
  of their mutual descent from Sir Ralph Vernon. This marriage
  took place at Audlem in 1386. He held in demesne as of fee one-fourth
  and a moiety of a fourth of half the Manor of Malpas, a third of Pickton,
  and lands in Wordhull, Crouton, Charleton and Northwick. ~1366 Angella de Venables ~1387 William VIII Brereton ~1336 - 1379 Sir Hugh de Venables 43 43 1335 - >1398 Margery Cotton 63 63 ~1369 - 1459 Margery De Venables 90 90 ~1362 Richard de Venables ~1285 Alan De Coton ~1350 Joan de Venables ~1321 Isabel de Heyton ~1288 - 30 JAN 1351/52 Thomas de Heyton Agnes ~1257 Thomas de Heyton ~1290 Margaret de Acton- Hellesby 1270 Roger de Hellesby 1268 Maude de Acton ~1242 William de Acton ~1244 Agnes Toft ~1200 William Toft ~1204 Joan de Lobstock ~1170 Roger Toft ~1170 - ~1228 William De Venables 58 58 ~1140 Gilbert III de Venables ~1145 Margary Croxton de Hatton ~1115 Waithew de Hatton ~1110 - 1160 William de Venables 50 50 ~1075 Gilbert de Venables ~1117 Amabilia de Venables 1112 Hamon de Venables ~1080 Margary de Hatton ~1049 Sir Walter de Hatton ~1099 - 1130 Gilbert de Venables 31 31 ~1069 Eudo de Venables ~1120 Gilbert de Venables ~1150 Gilbert de Venables ~1020 Sir William Ramsay ~1034 Paula du Maine 1076 Agnes Paynel ~1279 Lucia de Thwenge ~1262 Robert de Thwenge ~1214 Hawise de Lancaster ~1235 Margaret De Bruce 1230 - 1314 Nicholas De Stapleton 84 84 ~1215 Piers de Fauconberg ~1150 Richard le Grammaire ~1121 Rohais de Romara ~1162 - ~1239 Gilbert De Lancaster 77 77 ~1170 Emma Darell ~1225 Cecilia De Thwenge ~1140 Lord Duncan Darell ~1135 - ~1190 Robert De Thweng 55 55 ~1140 Emma De Lund ~1110 Duncan De Lund ~1109 Robert De Thweng ~1080 Pagan Fitz-Walter de Thweng ~1085 Fossard ~1215 - >1260 William Constable 45 45 ~1261 Katherine de Mauley ~1054 - ~1115 Osberne de Arches 61 61 ~1095 Agnes de Arches ~1132 Herbert St. Quintin ~1099 - 1143 Adam de Bruce 44 44 ~1000 Emmeline ~1103 - 1130 Agnes D'Aumale 27 27 ~1010 Adele 1026 - 1096 Eudes D'Aumale 70 70 1029 - <1090 Adbelahide De Normandie 61 61 ~1020 Lulelph de Lumley ~1110 Orme de Toft ~1080 Arnold de Toft Ivo ~0972 - 1030 Seigneur de Montmorency Herve 58 58 ~0980 Agnes 1025 Bouchard III de Montmorency ~1072 Adelaide de Montmorency ~1099 Alice ~0906 Seigneur de Gournay Hugh ~0936 Renaud de Gournay ~1094 Geoffrey de Saye ~1099 Hawise de Clare ~1125 William de Saye ~1030 - 1098 Robert de Saye 68 68 ~1077 Henry de Saye ~1000 Robert de Saye ~0970 - 1030 Picot de Saye 60 60 1220 Robert de Acton ~1222 Hawise 1250 Alan de Hellesby 1258 Beatrice de Hatton ~1268 William de Hellesby ~1270 Alice Hawise Tursell ~1345 - 1382 Jean (Joan) Fitton 37 37 1376 William Venables ~1389 - 1458 Alice Corbet 69 69 ~1250 Alice de Orreby ~1215 - >1261 Fulke de Orreby 46 46 ~1218 Philippe Le Strange Alice de Baumville 1298 - <1347 John Corbet 49 49 1324 John Corbet 1355 John Corbet Joan 1414 - 1456 William IX Brereton 42 42 ~1416 Philippa de Hulse ~1448 Andrew Brereton ~1456 Agnes De Leigh ~1376 Joan Massey Mainwairing ~1206 Alice Ciceley Whitney ~1242 Hamon VI de Massey ~1245 Alice de Beauchamp ~1140 Alice De Beauchamp ~1272 William de Massey ~1280 Isabella De Massey ~1262 Cecily de Massey ~1277 Margery de Leigh ~1310 - ~1371 Hugh Massey 61 61 ~1320 Anabel de Wrenbury ~1340 John Massey ~1345 Alice de Worsley ~1491 Elizabeth Boteler ~1398 Alice Venables ~1320 - ~1375 Hamon Fitton 55 55 ~1325 Elizabeth de Thornton ~1290 Sir Peter De Thornton ~1294 Lucia De Hellesby ~1316 - <1355 Eleanor de Thornton 39 39 ~1335 Matilda de Thornton ~1323 Margaret de Thornton ~1455 - 1525 Margaret Savage 70 70 1343 - 1386 Sir John Savage 43 43 1347 - 1428 Margaret Danyers 81 81 ~1325 Thomas Danyers ~1325 Isabel Baggileigh ~1295 Sir William Baggileigh ~1308 Cleamence de Dutton ~1268 Roger de Dutton Maud ~1227 - 1296 Geoffrey de Dutton 69 69 Margaret ~1209 Agnes de Dutton ~1190 - >1236 Geoffrey de Dutton 46 46 ~1180 Agnes de Massey ~1276 Peter de Dutton ~1200 William de Hatton 1229 - >1260 Adam de Hatton 31 31 1236 Matilda of Bretargh 1206 Baron of Bretargh Hugh 1170 - >1189 Sir Hugh de Hatton 19 19 1180 Nichola Boydell ~1150 - >1200 William Boydell 50 50 ~1120 Helton Boydell 1142 Ralph de Hatton ~1147 Nichola de Lindsay ~1117 Simon de Lindsay ~1112 Roger de Hatton ~1120 Elizabeth Normanville 1129 - ~1216 Hamon III de Massey 87 87 ~1204 - >1261 Hugh de Fitton 57 57 ~1155 Thomas de Fitton ~1160 Cecilia de Massey 1234 - 1298 Edmund de Fitton 64 64 ~1175 - ~1237 Richard de Fitton 62 62 ~1180 Ellen ~1148 Richard de Fitton ~1300 Joan de Leigh ~1298 - >1372 Sir Richard Fitton 74 74 ~1265 Ralph Robert Baggileigh ~1285 - 1374 Thomas Danyers 89 89 ~1300 Margaret de Tabley ~1250 Robert Adam de Tabley ~1260 Beatrix ~1250 - ~1306 William Danyers 56 56 ~1280 Agnes de Lymm- Leigh ~1260 Cicely de Leigh ~1328 Thomas De Massey ~1225 Richard de Lymm ~1236 Agnes de Leigh ~1202 Richard de Leigh ~1185 Richard de Leigh ~1160 Richard de Leigh ~1130 William de Leigh ~1205 Hugh de Lymm ~1205 Emma ~1200 - ~1250 Gilbert de Lymm 50 50 ~1230 - ~1285 Thomas Danyers 55 55 ~1205 - ~1260 Robert Danyers 55 55 ~1180 - ~1240 Robert Danyers 60 60 1194 - 1250 Frederick II von Hohenstaufen 55 55 King of Sicily

Note: Frederick II (Holy Roman Empire) (1194-1250), Holy Roman emperor (1215-50) and as Frederick I, king of Sicily (1198-1212). Born in Lesi, Italy, on December 26, 1194, Frederick was the son of Henry VI and grandson of Frederick I, Holy Roman emperor. He wasmade German king in 1196 and on the death of his father twoyears later became king of Sicily. When his mother, Constance ofSicily (1146-98), acting as regent, died several months later,the four-year-old prince was placed under the guardianship ofPope Innocent III, the new regent of Sicily. Emperor Otto IV was deposed in 1211, and the German princes selected Frederick to replace him. A contest for the imperial throne ensued, because Otto was unwilling to relinquish the crown. Supported by the papacy, to which he promised many concessions, and aided by the French, Frederick was eventually secure in his title. He was crowned king of Germany at Aix-la-Chapelle (now Aachen, Germany in 1215 and Holy Roman emperor at Rome in 1220. On hiscoronation Frederick made a number of elaborate promises to thechurch, including a vow that he would go on a Crusade. Hepostponed the Crusade, however, because of an outbreak of anarchy in Sicily and because of the resistance of the Lombard cities, which in 1226 renewed the Lombard League, originally formed against his grandfather, Frederick I. The following year Frederick annulled the Treaty of Constance and put the Lombard cities under the ban of the empire. Threatened several times with excommunication if he did not fulfill his coronation pledge, Frederick determined to sail for Jerusalem in 1227. An epidemic forced him to return three days after his departure,whereupon Pope Gregory IX declared him excommunicated. In 1228 Frederick led the Fifth Crusade to the Holy Land, where he took Jerusalem and concluded a 10-year truce with the sultan of Egypt. Having married Yolande (1212-28?), the young daughter of the titular king of Jerusalem, John of Brienne, and having assumed his title upon her death, Frederick was crowned king ofJerusalem in that city in 1229. He returned to Europe and spent many of his remaining years attempting to bring the Lombards under subjection. During intermittent struggles with the papacy he was excommunicated twice again, by Pope Gregory IX in 1239 and in 1245 by Pope Innocent IV. His participation in costly wars in Italy caused him to neglect the welfare of his German subjects. Frederick managed to establish peace, prosperity, and order in Sicily, however, promulgating there in 1231 a comprehensive code of laws, described as the best issued by any Western ruler since the reign of Charlemagne. Frederick also made worthy contributions to learning in Italy. Because he was a man of culture, he gathered scholars and men of letters at his Sicilian court, which Dante called the birthplace of Italian poetry. The University of Naples was founded by Frederick in1224. For about a century after his death, on December 13, 1250,the belief persisted that Frederick was still alive. According to one famous legend, Frederick resides in a cave in the Kyffhäuser Mountains, in the region of Thuringia, awaiting the summons of the German people to return and restore peace in the empire. The legend was later interpreted to refer to Frederick I. ~1237 - 1265 Henry de Montfort 28 28 1238 - 1271 Simon IV de Montfort 32 32 18 JAN 1237/38 Henry von Hohenstaufen 1154 - 1198 Constance of Sicily 44 44 1095 Roger II Guiscard Note: Roger II (1095-1154), first king of Sicily (1130-54), who created a state in which Arabs, Greeks, Italians, and Jews lived together in peace and in which the arts and letters flourished.The second son of Roger I, the Norman conqueror of Sicily, Roger succeeded his brother Simon (died 1105) as count of Sicily in1103. When his cousin Duke William of Apulia died in 1127, Roger laid claim to that duchy; by 1129 he had compelled the Norman barons on the Italian mainland to acknowledge him as theirruler. In 1130 he adopted the title of king of Sicily, with sovereignty also over the southern Italian regions of Apulia, Calabria, Capua, and Naples, establishing a monarchy that survived for more than seven centuries. He was recognized asking by Pope Innocent II (r. 1130-43) in 1139. Roger made his court at Palermo one of Europe's foremost cultural centers, and he erected throughout Sicily numerous buildings that were a striking blend of Norman, Arabic and Byzantine architectural styles. ~1100 Beatrice De Réthel ~1025 - 1101 Roger I Guiscard 76 76 Adelaide Di Sicilia 1181 Mary de Montferrat ~1020 Frasenda of Normandy ~1215 - 8 FEB 1287/88 Heinrich "Der Erlauchte" ~1020 Guillaume Guiscard ~1025 Fredisendis Guiscard ~1212 - 1228 Yolande De Brienne 16 16 1222 - 1266 Manfred von Hohenstaufen 44 44 1250 Constance von Hohenstaufen di Sicilia 1175 - 1219 Maria De Montpellier 44 44 1219 - 1251 Yolande Violante 32 32 2 FEB 1207/08 - 1276 Jaime I Pedrez "The Conqueror" Like his grandfather, ascended to the crown at the age of five. It was run by a regency until he came of age; and his uncle Sanc, Count of Provence, managed the finances and paid off his father's debts. He later became known for leading military campaigns that captured Majorca and the other Balearic islands, as well as Valencia, from the Moors. 1239 - 1285 Pedro III "the Great" 46 46 King of Sicily 1282-1285.

Herod (73-4 BCE) was the pro-Roman king of the small Jewish state in the last decades before the common era. He started his career as a general, but the Roman statesman Mark Antony recognized him as the Jewish national leader. During a war against the Parthians, Herod was removed from the scene, but the Roman Senate made him king and gave him soldiers to seize the the throne. As 'friend and ally of the Romans' he was not a truly independent king; however, Rome allowed him a domestic policy of his own. Although Herod tried to respect the pious feeling of his subjects, many of them were not content with his rule, which ended in terror. He was succeeded by his sons.

Herod was born 73 BCE as the son of a man from Idumea named Antipater and a woman named Cyprus, the daughter of an Arabian sheik. Antipater was an adherent of Hyrcanus, one of two princes who struggling to become king of Judaea.

In this conflict, the Roman general Pompey intervened in Hyrcanus' favor. Having favored the winning side in the conflict, Antipater's star rose, especially since he cooperated with the Romans as much as possible. In the civil war between Pompey and Julius Caesar, Hyrcanus and Antipater sided with the latter, for which especially the courtier was rewarded: in 47, he was appointed epitropos ('regent') and received the Roman citizenship.

It was obvious that Antipater was the real power behind Hyrcanus' throne. He managed to secure the appointment of his young son Herod to the important task of governor of Galilee. The boy, who was only sixteen years old, launched a small crusade against bandits, which made him very popular with the populace and impopular with the Sanhedrin.

On March 15, 44 BCE, Caesar was murdered. The new leaders in Rome were Caesar's nephew Octavian and Caesar's powerful second-in-command Mark Antony. They announced that they would punish Caesar's murderers, Brutus and Cassius, who fled to the East. Cassius ordered all provinces and principalities to pay money for their struggle against Octavian and Mark Antony, and Judaea had to pay some 15,000 kg of silver. Antipater and his sons had to take harsh measures to get the money, and in the ensuing troubles, Antipater was killed. With Roman help, Herod killed his father's murderer.

In 43, Hyrcanus' nephew Antigonus tried to obtain the throne. Herod defeated him, and secured the continuity of the line of Hyrcanus by marrying his daughter Mariamme. Of course, the young man was not blind to the fact that this marriage greatly enhanced his own claim to the throne.

Meanwhile, Octavian and Mark Antony had defeated Brutus and Cassius (at Philippi, in 42). Herod managed to convince Mark Antony, who made a tour through the eastern provinces that had supported Caesar's murderers, that his father had been forced to support their side. The Roman leader was convinced, and awarded Herod with the title of tetrarch of Galilee, a title that was commonly used for the leaders of parts of vassal kingdoms. (Herod's brother Phasael was to be tetrarch of Jerusalem; Hyrcanus remained the Jewish national leader in name only.)

This appointment caused a lot of resentment among the Jews. After all, Herod was not a Jew. He was the son of a man from Idumea; and although Antipater had been a pious man who had worshipped the Jewish God sincerely, the Jews had always looked down upon the Idumeans as racially impure. Worse, Herod had an Arabian mother, and it was commonly held that one could only be a Jew when one was born from a Jewish mother. When war broke out between the Romans and the Parthians (in modern Iran and Iraq), the Jewish populace joined the latter. In 40, Hyrcanus was taken prisoner and brought to the Parthian capital Babylon; Antigonus became king in his place; Phasael committed suicide.

Herod managed to escape and went to Rome, where he persuaded Octavian and the Senate to order Mark Antony to restore him. And so it happened. After Mark Antony and his lieutenants had driven away the Parthians, Herod was brought back to Jerusalem by two legions, VI Ferrata (whose men had already fought in Gaul and the civil wars) and another legion (37 BCE). Antigonus was defeated and after he had besieged and captured Jerusalem and defeated the last opposition (click here), Herod could start his reign as sole ruler of Judaea. He assumed the title of basileus, the highest possible title.

Herod's reign
Herod's monarchy was based on foreign weapons; the start of his reign had been marked by bloodshed. His first aim was to establish his rule on a more solid base. Almost immediately, he sent envoys to the Parthian king to get Hyrcanus back from Babylon. The Parthian king was happy to let the old man go, because he was becoming dangerously popular among the Jews living in Babylonia. Although Hyrcanus was unfit to become high priest again, Herod kept his father-in-law in high esteem. The support of the old monarch gave an appearance of legality to his own rule.

The new king started an extensive building program: Jews could take pride in the new walls of Jerusalem and the citadel which guarded its Temple. (This fortress was called Antonia, in order to please Herod's patron Mark Antony.) Coins were minted in his own name and showed an incense burner on a tripod, intended to signify Herod's care for the orthodox Jewish cult practices. These coins had a Greek legend -HÈRÔDOU BASILEÔS- which indicates that Herod considered his standing abroad. And the new king continued to please the Romans, to make sure that they would continue their support. He sent lavish presents to their representative in the East, Mark Antony, and to his mistress, the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.

These gifts almost were Herod's undoing. The relations between on the one hand Mark Antony and Cleopatra in the East and on the other hand Octavian and the Senate in the West became strained, and civil war broke out in 31. It did not last very long: in August, the western leader defeated the eastern leader, who fled to Alexandria. For the first time in his life, Herod had aligned himself with a looser.

He managed to solve this problem, however. First, he had Hyrcanus executed, making sure that no one else could claim his throne. Then, he sailed to the island of Rhodes, where he met Octavian. In a brilliant speech, Herod boasted of his loyalty to Mark Antony, and promised the same to the new master of the Roman Empire. Octavian was impressed by the man's audacity, confirmed Herod's monarchy, and even added the coast of Judaea and Samaria to his realm. Actually, Octavian did not have much choice: his opponents were still alive, and if he were to pursue them to Egypt, Herod could be a useful ally. As it turned out, Mark Antony and Cleopatra preferred death to surrender, and Octavian became the only ruler in the Roman world. Under the name Augustus, he became the first emperor. He rewarded his ally with new possessions: a.o. Jericho and Gaza, which had been independent.

Herod's position was still insecure. He continued his building policy to win the hearts of his subjects. (A severe earthquake in 31 BCE had destroyed many houses, killing thousands of people.) In Jerusalem, the king built a new market, an amphitheater, a theater, a new building where the Sanhedrin could convene, a new royal palace, and last but not least, in 20 BCE he started to rebuild the Temple. And there were other cities where he ordered new buildings to be placed: Jericho and Samaria are examples. New fortresses served the security of both the Jews and their king: Herodion was one of them, Masada another.













[Coin of king Herod the Great.]
But Herod's crowning achievement was a splendid new port, called Caesarea in honor of the emperor (the harbor was called Sebastos, the Greek translation of 'Augustus'). This magnificent and opulent city, which was dedicated in 9 BCE, was build to rival Alexandria in the land trade to Arabia, from where spices, perfume and incense were imported. It was not an oriental town like Jerusalem; it was laid out on a Greek grid plan, with a market, an aqueduct, government offices, baths, villas, a circus, and pagan temples. (The most important of these was the temple where the emperor was worshipped; it commanded the port.) The port was a masterpiece of engineering: its piers were made from hydraulic concrete (which hardens underwater) and protected by unique wave-breaking structures.

Although Herod was a dependent client-king, he had a foreign policy of his own. He had already defeated the Arabs from Petra in 31, and repeated this in 9 BCE. The Romans did not like this independent behavior, but on the whole, they seem to have been very content with their king of Judaea. After all, he sent auxiliaries when they decided to send an army to the mysterious incense country (modern Yemen; 25 BCE). In 23, Iturea and the Golan heights were added to Herod's realms, and in 20 several other districts.
With building projects, the expansion of his territories, the establishment of a sound bureaucracy, and the development of economic resources, he did much for his country, at least on a material level. The standing of his country -foreign and at home- was certainly enhanced. However, many of his projects won him the bitter hatred of the orthodox Jews, who disliked Herod's Greek taste - a taste he showed not only in his building projects, but also in several transgressions of the Mosaic Law.

The orthodox were not to only ones who came to hate the new king. The Sadducees hated him because he had terminated the rule of the old royal house to which many of them were related; their own influence in the Sanhedrin was curtailed. The Pharisees despised any ruler who despised the Law. And probably all his subjects resented his excessive taxation. According to Flavius Josephus, there were two taxes in kind at annual rates equivalent to 10.7% and 8.6%, which is extremely high in any preindustrial society (Jewish Antiquities 14.202-206). It comes as no surprise that Herod sometimes had to revert to violence, employing mercenaries and a secret police to enforce order.

On moments like that, it was clear to anyone that Herod was not a Jewish but a Roman king. He had become the ruler of the Jews with Roman help and he boasted to be philokaisar ('the emperor's friend'). On top of the gate of the new Temple, a golden eagle was erected, a symbol of Roman power in the heart of the holy city resented by all pious believers. Worse, Augustus ordered and paid the priests of the Temple to sacrifice twice a day on behalf of himself, the Roman senate and people. The Jewish populace started to believe rumors that their pagan ruler had violated Jewish tombs, stealing golden objects from the tomb of David and Salomo. [Coin of king Herod the Great.] Herod concluded ten marriages, all for political purposes.  They were probably all unhappy. His wives were:

   1. Doris, from an unknown family in Jerusalem: married c.47, sent away 37; recalled 14, sent away 7/6. She was the mother of Antipater, who was executed in 4.
   2. The Hasmonaean princess Mariamme I: married 37, executed in 29/28. According to Flavius Josephus, Herod was passionately devoted to this woman, but she hated him just as passionately. Nonetheless, she bore him five children: Alexander, Aristobulus, a nameless son, Salampsio and Cyprus.
   3. An unknown niece: married 37. No children.
   4. An unknown cousin: married c.34/33. No children.
   5. The daughter of a Jerusalem priest named Simon, Mariamme II: married 29/28, divorced 7/6. They had a son named Herod.
   6. A Samarian woman named Malthace: married 28, died 5/4. Their children were Antipas, Archelaus and Olympias.
   7. A Jerusalem woman named Cleopatra: married 28. They had two sons named, Herod and Philip.
   8. Pallas: married 16. They had a son named Phasael.
   9. Phaedra: married 16. They had a daughter named Roxane.
  10. Elpis: married 16. They had a daughter named Salome.

Herod's reign ended in terror. The monastery at Qumran, the home of the Essenes, suffered a violent and deliberate destruction by fire in 8 BCE, for which Herod may have been responsible. When the king fell ill, two popular teachers, Judas and Matthias, incited their pupils to remove the golden eagle from the entrance of the Temple: after all, according to the Ten Commandments, it was a sin to make idols. The teachers and the pupils were burned alive. Some Jewish scholars had discovered that seventy-six generations had passed since the Creation, and there was a well-known prophecy that the Messiah was to deliver Israel from its foreign rulers in the seventy-seventh generation. The story about the slaughter of infants of Bethlehem in the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew is not known from other sources, but it would have been totally in character for the later Herod to commit such a terrible act.

A horrible disease (probably a cancer-like affection called Fournier's gangrene) made acute the problem of Herod's succession, and the result was factional strife in his family. Shortly before his death, Herod decided against his sons Aristobulus and Antipater, who were executed in 7 and 4 BCE, causing the emperor Augustus to joke that it was preferable to be Herod's pig (hus) than his son (huios) - a very insulting remark to any Jew.

However, the emperor confirmed Herod's last will. After his death in 4 BCE, the kingdom was divided among his sons. Herod Antipas was to rule Galilee and the east bank of the Jordan as a tetrarch; Philip was to be tetrarch of the Golan heights in the north-east; and Archelaus became the ethnarch ('national leader') of Samaria and Judaea. Herod was buried in one of the fortresses he had build, Herodion. Few will have wept.

Penman: Davydd, born 1238. Died in October 1283 when he was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor after being captured by the English forces of King Edward I, ending "Davydd's War." There were a few documented cases of men being hanged, drawn and quartered before Davydd's death. "The true significance of the charges brought against Davydd--and the savage punishment inflicted--lies in the fact that here we find the origins of the state trial. It is not widely known that waging war against the king was not a crime in medieval England, not until Edward I chose to make it one, to classify it as high treason...By the end of Edward's reign, at least twenty political rivals had been executed for treason..." Among them was the Scots patriot, William Wallace. ~1250 - 1282 Ellen De Montfort 32 32 1239 Rhodri ap Gruffydd 1282 - 1337 Gwenllian Wenceliana Verch Llewelyn 54 54 *

In 45 Edward III (1371), he obtained from John Perle, of Shrewsbury, and Eleanor, his wife, the grant of a certain plat (placeam) of their land near Thomas Colle's 'standelf', for the purpose of making in that plat a certain staindelf for the behoof of the friars of the order of minors of Salop, to have and to hold the said plat to the said Sir John, his heirs and assigns, to the behoof of the said friars and their successors as long as they could break, cut, and convert any stone to their use in the said plat (dum ipsi fratres et successores sui aliquam petram in predicta placea, frangere, scindere, et quovismodo ad eorum usum lucrare poterint). And there is a clause, that when there is no stone left, the land should revert to the grantor and his heirs. Sealed with the lion rampant, and circumscribed 'Sigillum Iohis de Cherleton Dom. Powisie'.
"In accordance with the before mentioned contract made by his grandfather, John de Cherleton, with Ralphe, Lord Stafford, this John de Cherleton married Joane, the daughter of Lord Stafford. "He departed this life upon Thursday next after the Feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr in 48 Edward III (13 July 1374), being then seized of the manors of Lydam and Pontesbury, in Shropshire; the castle
and manor of Pole, the manors of Botynton, Thalgarthe, Mathrawall, and Wallwerne; of the comot of South Stratter Marghell; the lands of Southlanver-ghudell and Kerenignon; the comots of Kevelliock and Dendour; the cantred of Arwystley; the comots of Meghein Iscoyd, the Meghenant, and the hamlets of Trewerne and Teirtrefe, parcel of the manor of Botynton, leaving John, his son and heir, fourteen years of age, and Joane, his wife, him surviving.

"She (Joane) was deceased in 21 Richard II (1397), and by inquest was found to have died seized (inter alia) of Mathravl; the comots of Wystley Iscoed, South Stradmarghell, Botintoun; the hamlets of Trewern and Teirtreff; and the comots of Dendour, Mechan Ughcoit, Meghein Iscoyd, and Moghenant."

He was summoned to parliament from 15th March, 28 Edward III (1354) to 20th November, 34 Edward III (1360) as "Johanni de Cherleton". He married Maud, the daughter of Roger Montgomery (all other occurrences in the same source say Roger Mortimer), first Earl of March. John de Cherleton, like his father, had not the designation of 'Powys'
in his summonses to parliament; but in several State documents to which he was one of the witnesses in 28 and 29 Edward III (1354-5) he is termed "Johannis de Cherleton Dominus de Powys" -- for instance, in the two charters dated at Roxburgh on 20th January, 1355, whereby Edward (Balliol), King of the Scots, resigned his crown and realm of Scotland, and the dominion of Galloway to the King of England. He was deceased on August 30, 1360. An inquest held at Welshpool on 7th September following, found him to have held the lands and
tenements of Pontesbury and Charleton, the castle and manor of La Pole, the manors of Botiton, Talgarth, Watrawell, and Walwerne, the lands, etc., of South Tradmarchel, South Lanverhudel, Kereynon, Keveylloke, Megkeine, Iscoite, Megheine Uscoite, Trewerne, Teyrtrefe, and Meghnante, the cantref of Arwistly, and the manor of Penpree. John, his son and heir, was twenty-six years of age at Easter (April 5), 1360." [Source 2, pp. 20-21]

"Owen de la Pole died before October 1293, leaving an infant son, Griffin de la Pole, who died in June 1309, under age, and before he could succeed to his father's barony. Owen left also a daughter, Hawyse (known as Hawyse Gadarn, or the hardy), who was born in July 1291, and was found to be eighteen at the time of her brother's death, when she became heiress of Powys. The king gave her in marriage shortly afterwards to an illustrious soldier, John de Cherleton, who had livery of the barony of La Pole, on the 26th August, 1309. John de
Cherleton was undoubtedly a man of great eminence during the reign of Edward II, and was highly esteemed by that monarch." His genealogy, given in tabular form by Eyton in his _Antiquaries of Shropshire_, ix, 319, shows him to be the son of Robert de Charlton (occurs 1283-1300) and his first wife; Robert de Charlton was son of Robert de Charlton of Charlton (occurs 1220-1265), who was either base son or descendant (indicated by dashed line) of William de Charlton of Charlton.

Guarine or Warine de Metz, surnamed "the Bald", of the House of Lorraine. Ordericus described Warine as "a man of small stature but
great courage, who bravely encountered the Earl's enemies and maintained tranquillity throughout the district entrusted to his government." Roger de Montgomery selected him from among his barons as his chief counsellor and named him Viscount or Sheriff of Shropshire (then a hereditary office), attaching to his sheriff's fief seventy manors in that and other counties, and giving him his niece Amiera in marriage. This Warine "stood the second man in Shropshire" and maintained a state and magnificence unusual even in those hospitable times.
Such was his passion for entertaining his guests, that he caused the King's highway to be turned through the hall of his manor at Alleston, in order that no traveller might have an excuse for passing without stopping to receive some food and drink.

Of King Edward I., in whose right he had summons to Parliament from the 31St of Edward to the 13th year of Richard II., when he died. He had three sons, John his heir (who became 3d Earl of Salisbury), Thomas Montague, Dean of Salisbury, and Richard .Montague, of whose issue there is no trace. This Richard lived about the year 1400. None of the English genealogies make any further mention of him except to state his name. It is claimed that there was also a fourth son, whose name was Simon Montague, and from /'in the nobility of England of this name claim descent. Collins' Peerage, however, states that there is no evidence that this Simon ever lived, and is inclined to the belief that the nobility are descended from James Montague, a natural son of General Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury. This James Montague had large possessions in (County Kent, where he was a man of distinction, and is buried in the (Church of Ludsdown in Kent. Sir John Montacute had also three daughters, Sybil, Catherine and Margaret. ~1350 Margaret De Monthermer 1301 - 1340 Thomas De Monthermer 38 38 1307 - 1349 Margaret Tiptoft 42 42 ~1275 - 1325 Ralph De Monthermer 50 50 1301 - 30 JAN 1342/43 William De Montague King Of The Isle Of Man
WILLIAM MONTACUTE, eldest surviving son of William lord Montague (No. IX.), was made a banneret in the end of the reign of Edward II. In the first of Edward III. (1327) he was present at the expedition then made into Scotland, and in the 3rd of same reign attended the King when he was summoned to do homage to the King of France for his duchy of Aquitaine. In the 4th year of same reign he again attended the King to France, and had also the honor to wait on his holiness the Pope with Bartholomew de Burgherth, as Edward's ambassador, to thank him for confirming a bull of his predecessor Honorius, in favor of the Monks of Westminster. But the best service, perhaps, which this brave man ever performed for his master, was his bringing the famous Mortimer Earl of March the Queen's gallant, to punishment *. A parliament being held the same year it was enacted that William lord Montacute and all others with him, at the apprehension of the Earl of March and others, since what they did was authorized by the King's command, should be---"wholly acquitted thereof and of all murders and felonies they have done." This act of indemnity was not only passed in his behalf, but many manors and lands forfeited, by the attainder of the Earl of March and others, were bestowed upon him.

* The lord Montacute, having laid before the young King the infamy which the course of the life of the Queen, his mother, had brought upon his family, and the dangers which Mortimer's greatness threatened to the Crown, met with a favorable hearing from his Majesty, who ordered him to associate himself with such of the nobility as be could trust, and then apply to Sir William Eland, Constable of the Castle of Nottingham, in which the Queen and Mortimer had shut themselves up for defence. As the Keys of the Castle were brought every night to the Queen and nobody permitted to come in or go out without her knowledge, Sir William Eland directed Montacute and his associates to a private passage, by which they entered the Castle and marched directly to Mortimer's apartment, where the lord Montacute before he could seize his prisoner, was forced to kill Sir Hugh Turplington, steward of the household, and Sir John Monmouth. Mortimer was then made prisoner and carried before the King, and a short time after he was with his chief friends and abettors put to death.

In the same year (1330) he was also appointed governor of Sherbourne Castle in the County of Dorset, and of the Castle of Corffe with the Chace of Purbeck.

In the 5th of Edward III. he had a charter of free warren in all his lordships of Cookham in County of Berkshire, Swyneston in County of Southampton, Fulmere in County of Bucks and of Catsound and Lewisham in Kent. Likewise wreck, waif, stray goods of felons and fugitives, with fines and forfeitures of his tenants in his manors of Christ-church, Twyneham, Ringwood, and Swyneston, in the Isle of Wight and County of Southampton. Next year he obtained for John, his son-in-law, a grant of the Castle of Werk, on condition of his fortifying it and keeping it in repair; and for himself a release of all his Majesty's claim, right and title, in the isle of Man, and its appurtenances for him and his heirs forever. In 1335 he was constituted governor of the Isles Guernsey, Jersey, Sark, Alderney, and Seul. In 1336 he was made Constable of the Tower of London, and in consideration of his great expenses in divers services obtained a grant of the forest of Selkirk and Ellerick, with the town and County of Selkirk in Scotland to hold in farm to him and his heirs. In the same year he also obtained a grant in fee of several manors, lands, and hundreds lying in the Counties Somerset, Dorset, Wilts, and Buckingham.

In 1337 he was constituted Admiral of the King's fleet, from the mouth of the Thames westward, and the following year in consideration of his faithful services in the Scottish wars, and otherwise, he was advanced to the title and dignity of Earl of Salisbury, with a grant of the annual rent of £20 out of the profits of that County.

The same year he was one of the Commissioners that were sent to the duke of Bavaria to engage him on behalf of Edward against Philip, King of France. Upon his return he was immediately joined with Richard, Earl of Arundel, in the command of a body of troops designed for Scotland, in consequence of which he was present at the memorable siege of the Castle of Dunbar. The same year he attended the King to Brabant and obtained several more grants of lands, castles, fairs and advowsons in the Counties of Oxford, Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, Chester, Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincoln.

In 1339 he obtained the King's precept to the lord treasurer and barons of the exchequer for an allowance of five marks each day while he was abroad on his service, and for the reimbursement of all the expenses he was put to thereby. The same year, in consideration of his services both in the field and cabinet, he obtained a grant of the office of Earl Marshal of England.

In 1340 he had the command of the army jointly with the Earl of Suffolk. These two commanders having laid siege to Lisle, then in possession of the French, were both unfortunately made prisoners by the besieged, who sallied out and drew them after them into the town. During their captivity they suffered great indignities; and upon their arrival at Paris would certainly have been put to death, had not the King of Bohemia (possibly a relative of his wife) interposed in their behalf. Upon a conclusion of a truce with France they were exchanged for the Earl of Murray and £3000 in addition.

The Earl of Salisbury, immediately after his release, went with many other English Knights into Spain and joined the army of Alphonsus against the Saracens.

In 1341 he was again in Flanders, and in 1342 in France. In 1343 he served upon the borders of Scotland with the Earl of Ulster. And about this time he conquered the isle of Man, when King Edward (having before given him the inheritance thereof ) crowned him King of Man.

In conjunction with Robert of Artois, he had the command of the forces sent to France in aid of the Countess of Mountfort, by sea and land; where, after defeating the French fleet, they took Vannes, but a truce having been concluded for three years the Earl returned to England, where he exercised himself so immoderately, in jousts and tournaments, that he fell into a fever of which he died in the forty-third year of his age, January 30, 1344, and was buried at the White Friars in London * (Vol. I, p. 51, Edmondson's Heraldry). He was possessed at his death of a vast estate and bore the titles of Earl of Salisbury, King of Man, and lord of Denbigh.

* Some authors state, that this great man was buried at Bisham priory which he had founded. This error probably was caused by the fact that his son built a magnificent monument to his memory, in that Abbey, which was however demolished by Henry VIII. at the dissolution. Not only Edmondson's Heraldry but Glover's Ordinary of Arms, and also the very high authority of Dugdale, assert that he was buried at White Friars, London. Edmondson's Heraldry, Vol. I, p. 51, states that he became 21 years old in the 19th of Edward II., which would place his birth A. D. 1304; the same authority also states, that he owned the Manor of Cookham in Berkshire. Lipscombe's Bucks states that the hamlet of Boveney anciently belonged to Cookham in Berkshire, and the inference is that this Earl of Salisbury may have been possessed of Boveney also.

Vol. I, P. 51, Glover's ordinary of Arms, Edmondson's Heraldry, says, this earl owned Fulmere in Buckinghamshire. Lipscombe's History of Bucks says, he sold it, in or before 1335. This was a hamlet and Chapelry of Datchet in Stoke Hund. Bucks, near Stoke Poges and not far from Boveney.

This great man, who died so young and who also accomplished so much in his busy career, also found time to establish at Bisham in Berkshire, on the banks of the Thames 4 miles from Maidenhead, a Monastery, and he also founded a priory (in 1338) for Canons of the order of St. Augustine, in the words of his charter, "dedicated to Our Lord and the Virgin." This priory was re-founded by Henry VIII. for an abbot and 13 Benedictine Monks. Here Henry VIII. confined one of his wives; afterward, it was a favorite resort of Queen Elizabeth; here was buried the wife of the founder, Katherine de Grandison, the Countess of Salisbury, and the inscription upon her tomb stated, that her father was "descended out of Burgundy, cousin german to the Emperor of Constantinople, the King of Hungary and Duke of Bavaria."

Here William Montacute, the 2nd Earl of Salisbury (son of the founder), was interred. By his will he directed that a monument should there be erected to the memory of his father, which was done upon a magnificent scale 1.

His wife Catherine was daughter of William (and sister and heir to Otho) lord Grandison by Sibylla, daughter and heir of John de Tregoz, a great Baron. She was a brave woman, worthy of such a brave and noble man as was her husband the Earl of Salisbury. She 2 nobly defended and aided with heroic valor the defence of the castle of Werk, with her husband's brother, Sir Edward Montacute, who was its Governor, and also bravely defended her own Castle of Salisbury from King David of Scotland, with the aid of William Montacute, her husbands cousin, while her husband was a prisoner of war in France as before mentioned in the history of Sir Simon No. VIII.

1 "The bones of John Montacute, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, who was beheaded, were brought from Cirencester, (by order of his widow) and re-interred at Bisham Priory." Crosse's Antiquities. Here also were laid the "mortal parts" of the 4th and last Earl of Salisbury, General Thomas Montacute, killed at the siege of Orleans (1428). Here, also rest the remains of John, Marquis of Montacute, killed at the battle of Barnet in 1470, and also his brother Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, called the "king maker." Here also sleeps that unfortunate youth Edward Plantaganet, son of the Duke of Clarence, beheaded in 1499 for attempting an escape from confinement.

2 It was this countess of Salisbury who, while dancing with King Edward, lost her garter, which gave rise to the founding of the order of the garter, (and not Joan Plantaganet, the Fair Maid of Kent, as was stated in the " Montagues at Hadley.") See History of the Orders of British Knighthood by Sir N. Nicholas. Rambles about Eton and Harrow, by Alfred Rimmer, London, 1882, et al.

They had seven children, three sons and four daughters. Of the sons, William, the eldest, succeeded his father and became the second Earl of Salisbury, but was killed in a tilting match at Windsor.

Sir John Montacute, the second son, married Margaret Monthermer, grand-daughter of Ralph and Joan of Acres, daughter of King Edward I, and his son became 3rd Earl of Salisbury.

Of Robert Montacute, the third and youngest son, the records give no history. ~1286 - 1349 Katherine De Grandison 63 63 1260 - 1334 Sibyle De Tregoz 74 74 ~1228 - 1297 Matilda Fitz- Warren 69 69 ~1228 - 1300 John De Tregoz 72 72 ~1230 Lucy De Tregoz ~1248 Hawise Fitz- Warren ~1190 Maud De Vavasour ~1210 Juliana de Cantelupe ~1166 - 1240 Robert De Vavasour 74 74 ~1140 Nichola Wallis ~1165 Elizabeth De Vavasour Robert Strelly ~1120 Stephen Wallis ~1120 John De Vavasour ~1120 Alice Cockfield ~1090 Robert Cockfield ~1095 Robert De Vavasour ~1100 Juliana De Ros ~1125 Maud De Vavasour ~1070 Gilbert De Ros ~1075 William De Vavasour ~1080 Matilda Perry ~1055 Sir Mauger le Vavasour ~1036 Sir Mauger le Vavasour 1251 - 1315 Fulk V Fitz- Warren 64 64 ~1280 - 1336 Fulk VI Fitz- Warren 56 56 ~1285 Hawise Fitz- Warren ~1280 Robert Hoo ~1260 Fulk Corbet ~1255 Margaret de la Pole ~1290 Alianorna De Beauchamp ~1220 - 1281 Robert V De Beauchamp 61 61 1249 - 1288 John De Beauchamp 39 39 1230 John de Mohun 1273 - 1336 John II De Beauchamp 63 63 ~1279 - 1327 Joan Chenduit 48 48 ~1228 Isabel de Mohun ~1285 John De Mohun ~1331 Payne Tibotot ~1330 Agnes Wrothe Beatrix de St. Maur ~1313 John Wrothe ~1315 - <1355 Margaret de Bokeland 40 40 ~1270 John Wrothe ~1280 Margaret Enfielde ~1315 Margaret De Mohun ~1316 Thomas De Mohun ~1318 Lawrence De Mohun ~1320 Patrick De Mohun ~1322 Robert De Mohun ~1324 Eleanor De Mohun ~1326 Reginald De Mohun ~1328 Henry De Mohun ~1330 Paine De Mohun ~1332 John De Mohun ~1320 John Carew ~1380 Elizabeth Fitz William ~1360 John De Mohun ~1334 Bartholomew De Burghersh ~1346 Joan De Burghersh ~1266 Bartholomew De Burghersh ~1378 Maud De Mohun ~1379 Elizabeth De Mohun ~1380 Philippa De Mohun Walter Fitz Walter John Golleston ~1370 John Le Strange ~1191 - 1252 Robert IV De Beauchamp 61 61 ~1195 Juliana Brett ~1160 Simon De Valletort ~1170 Hawise De Beauchamp ~1140 - ~1196 Robert III De Beauchamp 56 56 ~1110 Robert II De Beauchamp 23 FEB 1421/22 - 1453 Thomasine Hankford ~1322 - 1361 William Fitz- Warren 39 39 ~1321 Joan De Beaumont 1288 - 10 MAR 1338/39 Henry De Beaumont 1291 - 1349 Alice Comyn 58 58 ~1395 Eleanor Holand ~1320 - 24 MAR 1356/57 Isabel De Beaumont ~1397 Anne Holand Thomas Montagu ~1376 - 1392 Sir John De Montague 16 16 SIR JOHN MONTACUTE, third Earl of Salisbury (and eldest son of Sir John), was thirty-nine years of age at his father's decease, and forty when his uncle died. He was early engaged in a military life and had been in most of the memorable battles during the reign of Edward III. In the 15th year of Richard II. he obtained leave to serve in Prussia and from the 16 h year until he became Earl of Salisbury, was summoned to parliament as a baron, after which he not only had livery of all the lands of which his Uncle died possessed (as he had before of those of his mother, dau. and heir of Thomas lord Monthermer), but also obtained a grant to himself and his heirs, of several Manors in the Counties of Worcester and Norfolk.

This Earl of Salisbury was the only temporal Nobleman, who remained firm to King Richard's interest after the invasion of the duke of Lancaster, and even when Richard was deposed, and the duke had mounted the throne, he joined in a plan for the murder of -the latter, which being discovered, he and the earl of Kent were pursued to a village near Cirencester where the rabble struck off their heads and sent them to London. His body was buried at Bisham Abbey (which his ancestor the first Earl had founded) by the side of the second Earl of Salisbury, having been removed thither by order of his widow.

He married Maude, dau. of Sir Adam Francis, Knight (she was the widow, first of John Aubrey, second of Sir Allan Boxhull, Knight of the Garter). Their children were, Thomas, the eldest son, who was afterward 4th Earl of Salisbury, Richard, who died without issue, and three daughters, Anne, (3 times married) Margaret, and Elizabeth. ~1493 - 1563 William D'Arcy 70 70 1471 - 1516 Elizabeth Greystoke 45 45 1467 - 1525 Thomas D'Arcy 57 57 ~1500 Anne D'Arcy ~1495 - 1538 Sir Christopher Conyers 43 43 ~1535 - 1548 Jane Conyers 13 13 1533 - 1 FEB 1573/74 Sir Marmaduke IV Constable Constable of Everingham ~1531 Elizabeth Conyers 1524 John Conyers 1529 Leonard Conyers ~1526 Joan Conyers ~1260 - <1308 Alexander Comyn 48 48 ~1270 - 1342 Joan Latimer 72 72 ~1293 Margaret Comyn ~1242 John Comyn ~1244 Roger Comyn ~1248 William Comyn ~1251 Emme Comyn ~1420 - 1452 Dionisea Tempest 32 32 ~1257 Elena Comyn ~1290 Peter De Montfort ~1320 Richard de Montfort ~1217 William Comyn ~1219 Fergus Comyn ~1221 Idonea Comyn ~1250 Agnes De Beaumont ~1225 Agnes Comyn ~1300 Lora De Astley ~1200 Richard De Astley ~1245 William De La Plaunche ~1275 Alice De La Plaunche ~1297 Elizabeth De Montfort ~1293 - 1326 Maud de Montfort 33 33 John Catesby 1302 Simon De Holt 1303 Albreda De Birmingham 1275 John De Holt 1279 Alice De Costello 1245 John De Holt 1249 Joan ~1290 Beatrice William Tracy Henry Tracy ~1270 Innes De Mountford ~1312 Helen De Mountford ~1381 Alice De La Spine ~1383 Thomas De La Spine ~1387 Edmund De La Spine ~1135 - >1184 Ralph De Kingwarton 49 49 ~1139 - >1199 Christian 60 60 ~1107 - >1149 William De Cocton 42 42 ~1137 Simon De Wrottesley ~1082 William De Cocton ~1109 Robert De Cocton ~1048 Randolph De Cocton ~1023 William De Cocton ~1162 Joan De Kingwarton ~1156 William De Spineto ~1161 Alexander De Kingwarton ~1163 Simon De Kingwarton ~1165 Philip De Kingwarton ~1167 Maurice De Kingwarton ~1188 Roger De Spineto ~1212 William De Spineto ~1214 Joan De Cocton ~1255 William De Spineto ~1246 Roger De Spineto ~1248 Walter De Spineto ~1251 Henry De Spineto ~1252 Joan De Spineto ~1254 Alice De Spineto ~1272 John De La Spine ~1274 John De La Spine ~1276 Henry De La Spine ~1278 Agnes De La Spine ~1180 Randolph De Cocton ~1195 Christian ~1213 Simon De Bruley 1272 John De Bruley 1274 Thomas De Bruley 1276 Henry De Bruley 1278 Agnes De Bruley ~1210 Agnes ~1185 - >1225 Richard Foliot 40 40 ~1168 - >1252 Bartholomew II Foliot 84 84 ~1148 - ~1175 Bartholomew I Foliot 27 27 ~1123 - >1148 Ralph Robert De Foliot 25 25 ~1146 Robert Foliot 1093 William De Chesney ~1094 Isabel De Chesney ~1097 Roger De Chesney ~1098 Ralph De Chesney ~1100 Robert De Chesney ~1075 Philip de Caisneto 1076 Alexander de Chesney 1083 Sybil de Chesney ~1140 Bartholomew de Chesney ~1212 Margery De Aquillon ~1182 Margery de Beaufoe 1190 Ralph FitzBernard ~1159 Robert De Scales 1391 Joan Boteler 1366 - 8 FEB 1442/43 Alice De Beauchamp ~1340 John de Beauchamp 1274 - 1349 Sir John de Patteshull 75 75 Sir John de Patteshull had summons to Parliament as a baron 25 Feb., 1342.

Upon the accession of Edward II, in 1307, served from March 10, 1308, to Nov. 25, 1313. He was subsequently Justice of the Forests beyond Trent, and Governor of the Castle of Northampton. His lordship, who made several campaigns into Scotland, fell eventually at the Battle of Strivelin, anno 1314. He married Agnes, daughter of William Ros. ~1289 - 1328 Agnes de Ros 39 39 <1241 - 1298 Robert De Tibetot 57 57 Robert de Tibetot, who in the 50th of Henry III, 1266, was made Governor of the Castle of Porchester, and having attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land, was in high favour after he had ascended the throne as Edward I, being then constituted Governor of Nottingham Castle, Justice of South Wales, and Governor of the castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan. In the 13th of the same reign, 1285, he had a grant from the son of Gerard de Rodes to himself, his wife and his son, in fee of the manors of Langar and Berneston, in Nottinghamshire. In the 20th of Edward I, being the King's Lieutenant for Wales, he fought and defeated Rees ap Meredith, in a great battle wherein 4000 Welshmen were slain and Rees himself, having been made a prisoner, was conveyed to York and there executed.

In Domesday Book he is called Baldwin of Exeter and Sheriff of Devon. He married Emma, cousin or niece of William I.

Baldwin de Redvers was founder of Bremer Abbey, County Wilts, and Quarr Abbey, County Hants. In April, 1136, there were rumors of the death of King Stephen, and on hearing this he was one of the first to break out in revolt. Seizing the royal castle of Exeter, he sustained a long siege by the King, and was ultimately allowed to withdraw his forces on giving up the castle. The King then proceeded to the Isle of Wight, took possession of the island, and drove him, with his wife and children, into exile. Baldwin then took refuge at the court of the Count of Anjou, and soon afterwards conducted a successful raid into Normandy. About Lent, 1138, he was taken prisoner in Normandy by Enguerrard de Say, a partisan of King Stephen. He returned to England in the autumn of 1139, shortly before the arrival of the Empress Maud, and landing at Warham, seized the castle of Corfe. This he defended successfully against the King, forcing him to eventually raise the siege. By the Empress Maud. (daughter of Henry I and mother of Henry II) he was created Earl of Devonshire in the year 1141. He married 1st Adeliza, 2nd Lucia. His daughter Eve married Anchitel Grey. 1120 Lucia Adeliza de Balun 1090 Hamelin de Balun ~1170 John d'Oyly ~1194 John d'Oyly ~1160 Hawise de Grey ~1185 - 1245 Robert de Grey 60 60 ~1115 Ellen de Bohun ~1137 Eleanor de Clare ~1110 Henry de Grey 1115 Rohese De Clare ~1116 Roger FitzBaldwin De Clare ~1115 - 1190 William II de Busli 75 75 ~1030 Richard De Rollos ~1133 - 1211 John de Grey 78 78 1161 Henry de Grey ~1198 Beatrice de Sculcotes ~1217 Eva de Grey ~1210 Walter de Beke ~1235 - 1303 John de Beke 68 68 ~1237 Sarah Furnival ~1255 Alice de Beke ~1256 Margaret de Beke ~1250 William Willoughby ~1256 Richard De Harcourt ~1276 John de Harcourt ~1300 - 1349 Sir William de Harcourt 49 49 1302 - 1369 Jane (Joan) De Grey 67 67 ~1246 Lucy de Mohun ~1240 John de Grey ~1275 Henry De Grey 1281 - 10 MAR 1334/35 Richard De Grey ~1201 Richard De Grey ~1204 Lucia Du Hommet ~1175 Jordan Du Hommet ~1254 - 1315 Robert Fitz- Payne 61 61 ~1155 Hathewise ~1238 - >1303 Isabella de Clifford 65 65 ~1206 John de Clifford ~1210 Margery Hereward ~1145 Letitia de Berkeley ~1188 Hugh de Clifford ~1190 Margery ~1325 - 1372 Richard de Harcourt 47 47 ~1325 Joan Jane Shareshull ~1263 William Shareshull ~1268 Dionisia Cokesey ~1347 Elizabeth de Harcourt ~1343 - >1399 Sir Thomas de Astley 56 56 ~1305 - ~1385 Sir Thomas de Astley 80 80 ~1347 Alice de Astley ~1340 Richard Champernon ~1366 - 1441 Alexander Champernon 75 75 ~1366 - 1448 Joan De Astley 82 82 1415 Sir Edward De Grey ~1361 William de Ferrers 1355 - 3 FEB 1386/87 Henry de Ferrers 1358 Joan de Hoo 1298 - 1369 Robert de Ufford 71 71 Robert de Ufford, second Baron, was Knight of the Garter, and was summoned to Parliament 27 Jan., 1332, to 14 Jan., 1337. This nobleman was in the wars of Gascony in the reign of Edward II, in requittal of his eminent services, a grant for life of the Town of Orford, County Suffolk, and soon afterward further considerable possessions, also by grant from the crown in consideration of the personal danger he had incurred in arresting, by the king's command, Mortimer and some of his adherents in the Castle of Nottingham. (This Mortimer was the favorite of Isabel, Queen of Edward II. She was the daughter of the King of France and through her Edward III claimed the French throne. E. E. W.) His lordship was solemnly advanced in the Parliament to the dignity of Earl of Suffolk, 16 March, 1336, "habendum sibi et haere bibus suis," whereupon he was associated with William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, and John Darcy, Stewart of the King's household, to treat with David Bruce of Scotland, touching a league of peace and amity, and the same year going beyond the sea on the King's service had an assignment of 300 œ out of the Exchequer towards his expenses in that employment, which was in the wars of France for it appears that he then accompanied the Earl of Derby (this was William Ferrers, 7th Earl of Derby, whose 2nd son, William Ferrers, of Groby, married Margaret, daughter this Robert Ufford. E. E. W.), being with him at the Battle of Cagant, after which time he was seldom out of some distinguished action. In the 12th of Edward III, 1338, being in the expedition into Flanders, he was the next year one of the marshals when King Edward beseiged Cambrai, and his lordship, within a few years, subsequently was actively engaged in the wars in Brittany. In the 17th of this reign the Earl of Suffolk (Robert de Ufford) was deputed to the Court of Rome, there to treat in the presence of his holiness, touching an amicable peace and accord between the English monarch and Philip of Valois of France. He marched the same year with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, the relief of Loughmaben Castle, then beseiged by the Scots. Soon after this he was made admiral of the king's whole fleet northward. For several years subsequently his lordship was with King Edward in France and he was one of the persons presented by that monarch with harness and other accoutrements for the tournament at Canterbury in 22nd of that reign. In seven years afterwards we find the Earl again in France with the Black Prince, and at the celebrated Battle of Poictiers fought and so gloriously won in the following year his lordship achieved the highest military renown by his skill as a leader and his personal courage at the head of his troops. He was later elected a Knight of the Garter. He married Margaret, sister of Sir John Norwich (there is a line in some of the books that runs from the Norwich family to the Magna Carta Baron de Huntingfield, but it is disproved in Browning's Magna Carta Barons and Their Descendants), and had issue Robert, dvpsp, William, Cecilie, Catherine and Margaret. The Earl's last testament bears date 1368 and he died the following year. Amongst other bequests he leaves to his son William "the sword wherein the king girt him when he created him an earl, and also his bed, with the eagle entire, and his summer vestment, powdered with leopards. He was succeeded by his son William, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, Knight of the Garter, who died sine prole, and the barony fell into abeyance between his sisters ~1305 - 1375 Margaret de Norwich 70 70 ~1295 - 1346 Sir Robert De Beke 51 51 1314 Mary Mariota ~1272 - 4 MAR 1329/30 Sir Robert de Draycote Beke Elizabeth Matilda De Hertwalle ~1245 - 1322 Sir Richard de Draycote 77 77 ~1250 - <1292 Lettice De Beke 42 42 ~1220 - 1294 Sir Philip de Draycote 74 74 Alice ~1331 Elizabeth De Beke ~1325 - 1364 John De Ipstones 39 39 ~1215 Robert De Beke ~1198 - 1261 Sir Richard De Draycote 63 63 *
This Draycott is indeed well documented and one of the most famous of the family. He was Justice of Chester and in 1244-50 he was a Knight. He also acquired land in Calton, (Derbs.), and Tillington. He died between 1260-8. Sir Richard certainly married twice and maybe three times. His first wife was Aliva or Alina de Legh of Leigh near Uttoxter. Although there is no reference too her, W. Fowler Carter reckons that Sir Richard had a second wife, and his third wife, who survived him was Orabilis or Orabella, (modern day "Arabella"), who was sister of Sarra de Thene (Tean). She was previously married to a Robert de Bek, and obviously was not married to Richard long, for in 1272 we hear of her as wife of William Wyther, who was a Knight and described as a "distinguished man-at-arms". Sir Richard had issue Philip, Roger and Richard, (who was probably by his second wife).
The oldest tomb in the Draycott Chapel is thought to be that of Sir Richard de Draycote. ~1175 Richard De Draycote ~1150 Philip De Draycote ~1120 Hugh De Draycote ~1090 Nicholas De Draycote ~1060 William De Draycote ~1373 John De Cherleton ~1307 - 1356 Sir Richard VI de Talbot 49 49 ~1428 - 30 JAN 1485/86 Philippe De Tiptoft 1449 - 1487 Eleanor de Ros 38 38 1447 - 1495 Sir Robert Manners 48 48 ~1468 Elizabeth Manners 1467 - 1513 Sir George Manners 46 46 D. 1372 Elizabeth Aspall ~1222 - <1261 Sibilla Longchamps 39 39 ~1200 Alina De Leigh ~1222 Roger de Draycote ~1210 Orabella De Thene Richard De Draycote ~1170 Sir Robert De Leigh ~1140 - ~1212 Henry De Leigh 72 72 ~1135 - >1189 Robert De Swynnerton 54 54 ~1147 Margery De Aldithley ~1125 - >1132 Liulf de Aldithley 7 7 ~1146 Roger De Aldithley ~1150 Liulf Aldithley ~1117 Mabella De Stanley ~1083 Liulf De Aldithley ~1116 Ralph De Aldithley 1057 Adam De Aldithley ~1177 William De Aldithley ~1179 James De Aldithley ~1180 Lucas De Aldithley ~1184 Isabella De Aldithley 1063 Richardus Forestaius ~1403 - 1445 John De Dutton 42 42 ~1305 - 1339 Sir Robert Roger Le Savage 34 34 Margery 1280 - 1311 John Le Savage 31 31 ~1285 Alice Walkington 1257 - 1299 Roger Le Savage 42 42 ~1230 - 1275 John Le Savage 45 45 Hawise ~1407 - 1488 Richard Cholmondeley 81 81 ~1421 - 1503 Anne Tuchet 82 82 ~1367 - 1433 Sir Peter De Dutton 66 66 ~1340 Edmund De Dutton 1276 - 1326 Hugh De Dutton 50 50 ~1282 - >1347 Joan De Holand 65 65 ~1456 - 1492 John V Savage 36 36 1314 - 1381 Thomas De Dutton 67 67 ~1460 Dorothy Vernon ~1430 Ralph Vernon ~1440 Ellen Norris ~1476 Sir John VI Savage ~1478 - <1527 Anne Bostock 49 49 ~1493 - 1528 Sir John VII Savage 35 35 5 MAR 1459/60 - 1491 William Herbert ~1524 - 1597 John VIII Savage 73 73 ~1530 - 1570 Elizabeth Manners 40 40 ~1557 Eleanor Savage ~1492 Sir Thomas Manners ~1510 - 1551 Eleanor Paston 41 41 1476 - 1526 Anne Seint Leger 50 50 ~1435 - 1483 Sir Thomas Seint Leger 48 48 ~1479 Sir William Paston ~1485 Bridget Heydon 1556 Henry Bagenal Anne Bagenal ~1460 - 1526 Sir Charles Somerset 66 66 1476 - 1513 Elizabeth Herbert 37 37 ~1450 Ralph Bostock 1425 - ~1489 Maude De Dutton 64 64 ~1458 Elizabeth De Dutton ~1418 - 1477 Sir William Booth 59 59 ~1366 Dorothy Savage ~1360 Robert Needham ~1526 Catherine Savage ~1520 Thomas Legh ~1200 - 1276 Robert Le Savage 76 76 ~1210 - >1276 Aldeluya Fitz William 66 66 ~1310 John Le Savage ~1172 - ~1220 Hamon De Venbables 48 48 ~1175 Gilbert De Venbables ~1178 Amabil De Venbables ~1180 Hugh De Venbables ~1182 Maud De Venbables 1565 William Chase 1566 Mary Chase 1572 Thomas Chase 1574 Dina Chase 6 JAN 1575/76 Matthew Chase 15 FEB 1577/78 Ralph Chase ~1587 Mary Chase 1581 Samuel Chase 2 FEB 1583/84 Elyzabeth Chase 6 MAR 1584/85 John Chase 1580 Stephen Chase 1579 Daniel Chase 1591 Martha Chase 1582 Anne Chase 1526 Richard Harding 1489 - 1546 John Wheeler 57 57 Mary Anne 1465 - 1546 Sir Thomas Wheeler 81 81 ~1804 John Wheeler 1491 - 1555 Thomas Wheeler 64 64 1492 Edward Wheeler 1743 - 1819 Joseph Hosford 76 76 1767 - 1849 Eunice Hosford 81 81 1503 - 1556 Henry Wheeler 53 53 1504 Richard Wheeler 1506 Obadiah Wheeler ~1508 Isabel Allen 1526 Thomas Wheeler ~1528 William Wheeler ~1530 Anne Wheeler 1533 John Wheeler 1534 Joan Wheeler 1539 Agnes Wheeler Ellen 1416 - ~1470 Henry Wheler 54 54 1438 Mary Elizabeth Cole 1466 - 1500 John Wheler 34 34 1467 Richard Wheler ~1416 Joan Robyn ~1437 Henry Wheler 1808 - 1898 Marcus Hartwell Wheeler 89 89 ~1486 Anne Wheeler ~1488 Cecily Wheeler ~1490 Joan Wheeler ~1492 Jelian Wheeler 1399 Richard Welere ~1400 Mary Elizabeth ~1418 Benjamin Wheler 1375 John Thomas Welere 1377 Elizabeth Mary Phillips 1348 Sir John Welere 1346 Patty Sue Milk 1300 Sir Richard Welert 1302 Jane Anne Londonderry 1279 Lord Richard Welert 1279 Eliza Ellen Evens 1254 Lord Thomas Wielher 1255 Terry Lynn Wells 1225 Lord Richard Wielher ~1230 Rachel Lynn Wilks 1198 Charles Thomas Wielher 1199 Ruth Anne Williams 1167 Charles Thomas Wielher 1169 Cara Terry Hains 1139 Sir Edward Thomas Wielher 1144 Elizabeth Toriey 1113 Edward Thomas Wielher 1115 Susanna Hanna 1084 Lord Thomas Wielher 1084 Rebecca Lynn Wheel 1056 Sir Thomas Wielher 1057 Elizabeth Runner 1027 John Thomas Wielher 1028 Jean Jones 0995 John Hinge Wielher 0997 Jane Ellen Binge 0969 George Hinge Wielher 0971 Ellen Engel 0936 Thomas Hinge Wielher 0937 Virginia Walles 0903 Thomas Wielher 0906 Elizabeth Bells 0873 Hinge Wielher 0875 Elizabeth Small 0848 Bounty Thomas Wielher 0849 Mary Tillie 0819 Thomas B.

Swinnerton of Robert de Stafford, and that this Alain is ancestor of the Swinnertons. Holinshed, in his Chronicle, states that whilst the
Conqueror held siege before York, he advanced at the request of his Queen Maud, his nephew Alane, Earl of Britain, with the gift of all those lands that some time belonged to Earl Edwine, and calls him a man of stout stomach, and one that would defend what was given him. In Tailleur's Chronicle of Normandie in the catalogue of the noblemen that came into England with the Conqueror, this Alain is called Alain Fergant, Earl of Britaine.

In the former he also received the honor of Knighthood, along with Edward prince of Wales; and in the second year of the latter, he obtained the royal charter for free warren at his manor of Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire, as he did afterward for those of Saxlingham, in the County of Norfolk, Knolle in the County of Somerset, and Woneford in the County of Devon. In the same reign he was governor of Berhamstead Castle and steward of the King's household; and had a grant of the bodies and ransoms of Rene ap Grenon, Madock ap Vaughan and Audoen ap Madock, Welsh barons who had rebelled and been taken prisoners.

Moreover, he obtained from the King a special license to make a Castle of his house at Kersington in the County of Oxford, and was appointed Seneschal of the duchy of Aquitain and at last in 1318 of Gascony. In the 11th and 12th of that reign he had summons to parliament and died in 1320 in Gascony, but was interred at St. Frideswide, now Christ Church Oxon *.

"Alexander III., King of Scots, had invaded Man also, and entirely subdued it, and set a King over the isle. However, Mary, the daughter of Reginald King of Man, addressed her self to the King of England for justice in her case. Answer was made that the King of Scots was then possessed of the Island and she ought to apply herself to him. Her grandchild, John Waldebeof, notwithstanding this, sued again for his right in Parliament, held 33rd of Edward I., urging it there before the King of England as Lord Paramount of Scotland, yet all the answer he could have was that he might prosecute his title before the justices of the King's Bench; let it be heard there and let justice be done. But what he could not effect by law his kinsman Sir William Montacute (for he was of the royal family of Man) soon did by force of arms. For having raised a body of English, he drove the Scots out of the Isle with these raw soldiers. But, having plunged himself into debt by the great expense of this war, and become insolvent, he was forced to mortgage the Island to Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, and Patriarch of Jerusalem; and make over all the profits thereof to him for seven years, and quickly after, the King gave the Island to the said Anthony for term of life. Afterward King Edward II. gave it to his great favorite Peter de Gaveston. Soon after this the Scots recovered it again under the Conduct of Robert Brus. Afterward, about the year 1340, William Montacute, the younger (Earl of Salisbury), rescued it by force of Arms from the Scots and in the year of our Lord 1393 sold Man, and the Crown thereof, to William Scrope) for a great sum of money."-Camden's Britannia.

By Elizabeth, daughter of Peter lord Montfort of Beaudefert in the County of Warwick, he had issue four sons and seven daughters.

Of his four sons the eldest died in the life time of his father, the second succeeded him, Simon the 3rd son in the 8th of Edward III. was made Bishop of Worcester and in 1336 was translated to Ely. He was a great benefactor to the University of Cambridge and laid out a large sum on the fine Lady Chapel, on the north side of the Cathedral of Ely, though he did not live to finish it.

Sir Edward Montacute, the 4th son, was governor of the Castle of Werk. He served afterward in the French wars with great reputation. In the 23rd of Edward III. (1330), he had livery of all those lands which descended to his wife Alice, daughter and co-heir of Thomas Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, fifth son of Edward I., and Marshal of England. He died in 1342. ~1120 Ulric II de Neuchatel ~1130 Bertha ~1090 Rudolph I De Neuchatel ~1100 Emma De Glane ~1160 Ulric I De Neuchatel Miss Von Domene ~1110 Kunigunde Von Wasserburg ~1120 Berthold IV Von Zahringen ~1135 Edith Von Frohburg ~1085 - 1123 Count Von Frohburg Hermann 38 38 ~1100 - 8 JAN 1151/52 Duke of Zahringen Conrad ~1180 Graf Von Attel Englebert Graf Von Attel, Lindburg, Wassenburg, and Hallgraf ~1185 Hedwig Von Formbach ~1085 - 1185 III Egino 100 100 ~1090 Edith ~1055 II Egino ~1025 I Egino ~1249 - 1316 Sir Simon De Montague 67 67 SIR SIMON DE MONTACUTE, (son of William No. VII.) was in several expeditions into Wales, particularly in that of 10th of Edward 1. (j286) when Llewellen lost his territory and life. He obtained from Edward I. confirmation of the manor of Shipton Montague in Somersetshire with the woods thereunto belonging in the forest of Selwood and a grant of several other manors in the same county and in those of Dorset, Devon, and Oxford.

The same lord Montacute made several campaigns with reputation both in France and Scotland, in the reign of Edward I., in which he was also Governor of Corffe Castle in Devonshire. In the Reign of Edward II. he again served in Scotland and was governor of the Castle of Beaumaris in the isle of Anglesey, and Admiral of the King's fleet. In that reign he also obtained a grant for a weekly market on Tuesday at his Manor of Yardlington, County of Somerset, and a fair on the eve day and morrow after the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. The 7th of Edwd II. (1314) he obtained a license of the King to fortify his Manor house at Yardlington This Manor was very beautifully situated in a picturesque locality upon a very fine lawn, and remained in, this family through many descents until, through the last Countess of Salisbury (who was beheaded at the age of 70 years by Henry VIII), it passed to the Poles and thence to Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham. Sir Simon Montacute also owned the Manor of Goat-hill, granted to him by Edwd I., and it descended to Gen. Thomas Montacute 4th Earl of Salisbury, thence to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and to John Neville, Marquis of Montacute. He also owned the Manor of Laymore in Somerset. This Sir Simon Montacute bore as his Coat of Arms the original shield of his ancestor Drogo First, (Azure---a Gryphon Segreant, or, [gold] as also did his father and each of his ancestors.

However, this Sir Simon changed the Arms to "Argent (white) three fusils * in fess gules (red)." See plate.

* A lozenge is of a diamond shape, and a fusil is an elongated lozenge, and these Arms were a white shield with three red fusils joined in line.

It is however recorded that Sir Simon. used both Coats of Arms, the one which he had made and the other which he received by inheritance. Fortunately we are not left in doubt as to what Arms he really bore, for the Pope had at that time made unwarranted pretentions with regard to Scotland and had issued an insolent bull, to which all the barons of England had made reply in a letter which was signed by all the Barons, who affixed to their names, as their seals, their Coat of Arms. This letter to Pope Boniface VIII. was written A. D. 1301, and was signed by Sir Simon de Montacute, with the other barons. A duplicate of this letter is preserved in the British Museum, and the plate of the Coat of Arms of Sir Simon Montague, appended to this work, is copied from his Seal to that letter. These Arms, with some modification for differences in families, have been the arms of all the succeeding English families of Montague. Sir Simon married Aufricia, daughter of Fergusius, King of the isle of Man, descended from Orry, King of Denmark. The Historian records that Aufricia, daughter of Fergus, King of Man, having fled to King Edward, when dispossessed by Alexander III. King of Scots, Edward bestowed her in marriage upon Simon lord Montague, baron of Shipton Montague, who by the King's assistance recovered the Island and enjoyed it in her right many years. (Camden says it was Simon's son William who recovered the Island.)

He had been summoned to parliament from the 28th of Edward I. to the 8th of Edward II. (1315), soon after which he died. Their issue was William and Simon de Montacute, the former succeeded his father and continued the line, the latter was married to Hawise, daughter of Almeric lord St. Amand.

Almeric de St. Amand was a great baron of that age whose chief seat was at Grendon Underwood, a parish in the hundred of Ashendon in Buckinghamshire ten miles west N. W. from Aylesbury. The male line became extinct and the property passed (through daughters) to other families. It would seem that Simon Montacute and Hawise de St. Amand, his wife, probably had a son whose name was William Montacute from the following passage taken from a very rare and ancient work *. "From thence he (the King) passeth on to the Castle of Salisbury which Castle belonged to William Montacute Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife but himself being then prisoner in France, onely his Countesse, and one William Montacute, a cousin of his was in the Castle." This William Montacute, who is called a cousin of the first Earl of Salisbury, was therefore a son of Simon and Hawise (Amand) Montacute, as it is recorded that the Earl's father had only two sons. As this Simon Montacute was the younger son, his subsequent history (and that of his son William) is unrecorded.

Drue de Monteacuto and his wife Aliva (Basset) had an only daughter who became a nun at Shaftsbury, and a second son,- 1256 Almeric De Saint Armand ~1124 - ~1217 William De Montague 93 93 WILLIAM DE MONTACUTE, who succeeded to the barony, and in the sixth year of Richard I. (1196) paid £6-1s-6d for his estates in the County of Somerset as scutage for the King's ransom,

He was sheriff of Dorsetshire and Somersetshire in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth years of King John (I 2 05-I 2 09) ; which fully proves his importance at that time, when none but persons of the greatest rank and property were admitted to that office. For the first of these years he had under him Osbert, the clerk, his deputy. Being one of the great barons of that reign who stood up for the liberties of their country, and being found ('7th John) in arms with the rebellious barons against the King, he was stripped of all his lands in Counties of Somerset and Dorset, which were seized by the King and given to Ralph de Ralegh. He died 18th of King John (1218). He married Isabel, daughter. of *____* and left an only son and heir who succeeded to the estate. ~1130 Isabel ~1096 - ~1166 Richard De Monte Acuto 70 70 It is recorded of him, that in the second year of Henry II. (1156) he paid £20 into the King's exchequer for the ancient pleas; and 7th of Henry II. (1161) upon the collection of the scutage then levied, he paid 20 marks for the Knight's fees (a yard land Of 40 acres paid two shillings and sixpence tax) which he at that time held, soon after which he died, leaving issue his son Drue, who was called "Drogo Juvenis" -or Young Drue. ~1105 Alice ~1040 Drogo De Monte Acuto In the old Chronicles of France, mention is made of forty-seven different incursions by various Scandinavian bands called Northmen. The most important of these, under the command of Rollo the Dane, resulted in the permanent occupation of a large province which was subsequently called Normandy. "It was thus the settlement of these northern pirates," says Freeman, "which finally made Gaul French in the modern sense. It was at the same time the alliance with Romanic France which brought the Northmen fully under the influence of French language, law and custom, which made them Normans, the foremost Apostles alike of French chivalry and Latin Christianity." In this province and of this people was born on the 14th of October 1024, William, Duke of Normandy, the bold leader in the Norman conquest of England "the great turning point in the history of the English nation."

In this province also flourished, one thousand years ago, the Norman family of Montagu. They were seated probably at Montagules-Bois in the district of Coutances of which place it was said "Its ancient lords were famous in the middle ages." The name and family of Montagu was probably prominent and distinguished at that time, for we find mountains, castles, fortresses and towns bearing their name.

History has at least recorded the name of one of the family who held at that time an important position of trust and honor.


DROGO DE MONTE-ACUTO was born about the year 1040. He became the trusted companion, follower, and intimate friend of Robert, Earl of Moriton (or Mortain), the favorite brother of William, Duke of Normandy.

Drogo and the Earl of Moriton were of the same age and both entered heartily into the plans of William in his proposed expedition against England.  This expedition was in active preparation in the summer of 1066 and was composed of sixty thousand men and over three hundred ships. Drogo de Monte-acuto accompanied the expedition in the immediate retinue of Robert, Earl of Mortain.  They landed at Pevensey upon the coast of Sussex, late in September, 1066, and immediately burned and scuttled their ships, that their only hope might lie in their courage and resolution, their only safety in victory.

This marked the advent of the first Montague upon the shores of England, and as he marches on toward the plain near Hastings (where, upon the 14th of October, the battle of Hastings was fought and won), we note that he bears the kite-shaped shield of the Norman invador, it's color is cerulean blue, and upon it is the full length figure of a Griffin, segreant (rampant with wings spread), and painted a bright golden hue. This was the original Coat of Arms of the Montagues in England *.

* A gryphon (or griffin) was an imaginary animal devised by the ancients and consisted of the body and tail of a lion with the head and claws (or talons) of an eagle, thus denoting great strength united with great swiftness.

William having conquered England and ascended the throne his followers were rewarded with large grants of land.  Both his favorite brother the Earl of Moriton and his trusty follower Drogo de Monte-acuto received large possessions.

Drogo obtained the grant of several Manors, particularly in the county of Somerset. The original castle or seat of Drogo was at Montacute, an eminence and parish in Tintinhull Hundred, Somersetshire, four miles south from Ilchester. Its ancient name appears to have been Logoresburg and was also called Bishopston. Here the Earl of Mortain built a castle and named it after his friend Drogo de Monte-acuto. (Cappers Topog. Dict.).

Camden says of this place that "the Castle has been quite destroyed these many years and the stones carried off to build the Religious houses and other things, afterward on the very top of the hill was a Chapel made and consecrated to St. Michael, the arch and roof curiously built of hard stone and the ascent to it is around the, mountain up stone stairs for near half a mile."

A later writer has this graphic description of this spot. "Adjacent to the churchyard rises that noble mount called Montacute, the base of which contains near twenty acres. Its form is conical and its ascent very steep, the top terminating in a flat of half an acre whereon stands a round tower sixty feet in height and crowned with an open ballustrade. On this tower is a flag-staff fifty feet high, on which a flag is occasionally displayed floating fifty-six yards in the air and exhibiting a grand and picturesque appearance.

The summit of this tower, being so highly elevated above the level of the central part of the country, affords a rich and extensive prospect extending westward to the hills below Minehead and Blackdown in Devonshire and north eastward over Taunton, Quantock Hills, Bridgewater bay, the Channel, and coast of Wales.

To the north, Brent-Knoll, the whole range of Mendip, the city of Wells and Glastonbury-Torr. Eastward, Creeche. Southward over the Dorsetshire Hills to Lamberts Castle near Lyme, the whole a circle of above 300 miles in which on a clear day 80 churches are distinguished.

This hill is planted from bottom to top with oaks, elms, firs and sycamores the intermingled foliage of which (especially in the autumnal season) forms a rich and beautifully tinted scenery."

While this was the original home of the Montagues, the seat of their barony was at Shepton Montacute a villa at no great distance from Montacute. This parish contains the hamlets of upper and lower Shepton *, Knolle, and Stoney Stoke, and was held by Drogo de Monte-acuto and his direct descendants until the time of King Henry VIII. when Sir Thomas Montacute leaving no male issue, this estate was divided between three sisters.

* In Drogo's time, in demesne are two carucates, 8 servants, 8 Villanes (farmers), 5 cottagers, 3 ploughs, 2 mills, one not rated, the other pays seven shillings and sixpence. There are 30 acres of meadow, and wood ten furlongs long and four furlongs broad.

Drogo de Monte-acute also held of Robert Earl of Moriton, the following Manors. The manor of Yarlinton. (For description see at Sir Simon Montacute, 8th generation). Sutton Montacute, a small parish six miles east from Ivelchester, lying in a fruitful woody vale under the south west brow of Cadbury castle, with other high hills toward the east. It contains thirty houses which compose a long street in the turnpike road from Ivelchester to Castle Cary.

Thulbeer, (ancient name Torlaberie).

Drogo held this manor from the Earl of Moriton and it descended through a long line of ancestry together with the manor of Chidzoy, to the unfortunate Edward, son of George Duke of Clarence.

Drogo also held of the said Earl one hide * of land in Montagud in this county. Reverend John Collinson says, "it is altogether probable that the Earl of Mortain if he had any other reason than that of a Latin definition---imposed on his demesnes at Bishopton (Logoresburg) the appelation of Montagud in compliment to this Drogo, his favorite and confidential friend."

* A hide of land was supposed to consist of 160 acres and was made up of the following parts, viz.-ten acres make a ferundel, or fardingdeal, four ferundels make a yard land, and four yard lands make a hide, so four hides it is said, or 640 acres, make a Knight's fee.

But waving this matter, we find the said Drogo-de-Monte-acuto in possession of these estates until his death, which took place about the latter end of the reign of King Henry I. (about 1125)

A curious fact may be here recorded, that upon the spot where the battle of Hastings, was fought, William the Conqueror founded an Abbey which was called Battle Abbey, and in the words of his charter, "Instituted a market to be kept there on the Lord's day free from all toll-" and that Anthony Viscount Mountague, a lineal descendant of Drogo, about the year 1575 or 1600, built a fine house there and obtained authority of Parliament to have the market changed to another day. ~1325 - 1359 Elizabeth De Montague 34 34 1328 - 1397 William III De Montague 68 68 WILLIAM MONTACUTE, second Earl of Salisbury, eldest son of William the first Earl, was born in June, 1328. -Before he was of age he was Knighted when Edward landed at La Hague. He afterward served at the siege of Can, and at the glorious battle of Crecy. When the Order of the Garter was instituted he was the seventh of its original knights, and when the Black Prince obtained Aquitaine he attended him to France and served under him in all his excursions and expeditions. At the battle of Poitiers he commanded the rear of the English army, and was highly instrumental in gaining that famous victory. In short, almost his whole life was a perpetual campaign under Edward III. and his son, the Black Prince.

In the succeeding reign, he was continued in all his posts and preferments, and also made governor of Calais, whence he harrassed the French with continual excursions. In the fifth of that reign he convoyed to England the King's intended Consort, daughter of Charles, King of the Romans, and in the seventh and eighth he served against the Scots. In the ninth, a grant was made to him during life, of the custody of the Isle of Wight and Castle of Carisbrook. In the twentieth, the year ,397, he departed this life, having ordered by his will, that every day until his corpse should be interred at Bisham, distribution should be made of one pound five shillings to three hundred poor people; likewise that twenty poor men should bear torches on the day of his funeral, each torch eight pounds weight, and each of them wearing a gown of black cloth with a red hood; also, that there should be nine wax lights about his corpse, and upon every pillar of the church there should be fixed banners of his arms; moreover that £3° should be given to the religious, to sing "rentals and pray for his soul.

He first married Joan, who by way of distinction was called Fair Maid of Kent, daughter to Edmund Plantagenet, Earl of Kent, but having been separated from her upon a petition from Sir Thomas Holland to the Pope, in which he alleged that she had been pre-contracted to him, his lordship married second, Elizabeth, dau. and co-heir of John lord Mohun, one of the original Knights of the Garter by whom he had a son who died without issue, having been accidentally killed by his father in a tilting at Windsor in the year 1383. This son was named Sir William Montague and married Elizabeth, dau. of Richard Fitz Alan, Earl of Arundel. His widow married in 1388 Thomas lord Mowbray, Earl Marshal of England.

Sir John Montacute, the brother of this Earl, married Margaret, dau. and heir of Sir 'I Thomas Monthermer son of Joan of Acres, dau. Of King Edward I., in whose right he had summons to Parliament from the 31St of Edward to the 13th year of Richard II., when he died. He had three sons, John his heir (who became 3d Earl of Salisbury), Thomas Montague, Dean of Salisbury, and Richard .Montague, of whose issue there is no trace. This Richard lived about the year 1400. None of the English genealogies make any further mention of him except to state his name. It is claimed that there was also a fourth son, whose name was Simon Montague, and from /'in the nobility of England of this name claim descent. Collins' Peerage, however, states that there is no evidence that this Simon ever lived, and is inclined to the belief that the nobility are descended from James Montague, a natural son of General Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury. This James Montague had large possessions in (County Kent, where he was a man of distinction, and is buried in the (Church of Ludsdown in Kent. Sir John Montacute had also three daughters, Sybil, Catherine and Margaret. ~1330 Anne De Montague ~1334 - 1374 Sibyl De Montague 40 40 1314 - 1338 Giles De Badlesmere 23 23 ~1318 - 1390 Sir Guy De Bryan 72 72 John De Grey ~1327 - >1377 Sir Edmund Fitz Alan 50 50 ~1180 - 1231 Richard De Talbot 51 51 ~1150 - 13 FEB 1230/31 Gilbert DeTalbot ~1210 Drue De Montague ~1235 John De Montague ~1240 William De Montague Lucy ~1265 Katherine De Montague ~1260 Warine Basset ~1265 Margaret De Montague ~1260 William de Echingham ~1267 Isabel De Montague ~1260 Thomas de Audham ~1214 Aline De Montague ~1235 William De Montague WILLIAM MONTACUTE

He was concerned in the treaty of the peace of Bretigny on 8 May 1360. He was still involved in continental fighting when he died in December 1364 at the age of 44, possibly from injuries received in battle.

A "staple" was originally a boulder or large rock, later on it was a post (as you pointed out). These were important because they were readily identifiable landmarks where farmers, bakers, hunters and tradesmen of various kinds came to gather and trade their wares. These meetings at the early "Staples" were essentially for commerce in necessary goods; hence, the word "staples" is used as a collective term, usually for foodstuffs that fulfill basic needs (sugar, wheat, coffee, bread, milk, etc.). So, the Stapletons were, in effect, primitive markets in England, and when a merchant named James was identified, it was usually with his name and place of origin."James Stapleton."

Early Stapletons in England were often in law enforcement and soldiering. Robert de Stapleton was Sheriff of Waterford in the year 1287, another Stapleton was the Sheriff of Nottingham (and well beloved, unlikely the Sheriff in the Robin Hood tales), and an early Stapleton, Sir Brian Stapleton, was a knight for King Richard the Lion Hearted during the Crusades.

King Richard and Sir Brian were both Normans (from northern France), and indeed, it is reputed that King Richard spent less than two years total of his life in England. At any rate, King Richard brought Sir Brian Stapleton as his personal bodyguard to the battles. During one fierce battle, the Kings of England, Scotland and France had massed with their armies at the edge of the battlefield. As the armies went into battle, a Saracen (the Muslim opponent during the Crusades) broke through the lines and charged up on his horse, sword held high. Sir Brian leaped out in front of King Richard, drawing his sword and neatly beheaded the Saracen.

The next day, the English painted the face of the beheaded Saracen onto Sir Brian's shield. Hence, the crest of the Stapleton family is one of just two in England which has the face/head of a human being on it.

Upon return to England, Sir Brian added his weight to the pressure on Prince John to sign the Magna Carta. The motto of the family, as it states in Burke's book of Peerage is "Pro Magna Carta." Incidentally, the English claim that they were the world's first true democracy and point to the Magna Charta ("Great Charter") as evidence of their democracy. When the English describe it, they refer to it as the first document that limited the divine right of kings, but it is much more..actually, it's a pretty horrific document. Jim Stapleton recommends that we should try to get time to read it.

Incidentally, the last Baronet Stapleton died a few years back. The Stapletons suffered through various harsh economic times, and they ended up splitting their crest into four quadrants. This is outlined in Burke's Book of Baronetage and Peerage.

His name, regarded by his countrymen with the reverence due to the "Prince of Song," is known to the Saxon chiefly through the brief but spirited invocation of Gray.

The text records the fiction of which Taliesin is the hero. Of his real history little is known, excepting what may be gleaned from his works, and from the following notices given in the volume of lob MSS. recently published by the Welsh MSS. Society. The first of these latter is taken from Anthony Powel of Llwydarth’s MS.

"Taliesin, Chief of the Bards, the son of Saint Henwg of Caerlleon upon Usk, was invited to the court of Urien Rheged, at Aberllychwr. He, with Elfin, the son of Urien, being once fishing at sea in a skin coracle, an Irish pirate ship seized him and his coracle, and bore him away towards Ireland; but while the pirates were at the height of their drunken mirth, Taliesin pushed his coracle to the sea, and got into it himself, with a shield in his hand which he found in the ship, and with which he rowed the coracle until it verged the land; but, the waves breaking then in wild foam, he lost his hold on the shield, so that he had no alternative but to be driven at the mercy of the sea, in which state he continued for a short time, when the coracle stuck to the point of a pole in the

weir of Gwyddno, Lord of Ceredigion, in Aberdyvi; and in that position he was found, at the ebb, by Gwyddno’s fishermen, by whom he was interrogated; and when it was ascertained that he was a bard, and the tutor of Elffin, the son of Urien Rheged, the son of Cynvarch :— ‘ I, too, have a son named Elffin,’ said Gwyddno, ‘be thou a bard and teacher to him, also, and I will give thee lands in free tenure.’ The terms were accepted, and for several successive years he spent his time between the courts of tjrien Rheged and Gwyddno, called Gwyddno Garanhir, Lord of the Lowland Cantred; but after the territory of Gwyddno had become overwhelmed by the sea, Taliesin was invited by the Emperor Arthur to his court at Caerlleon upon Usk, where he became highly celebrated for poetic genius and useful, meritorious sciences. After Arthur’s death he retired to the estate given to him by Gwyddno, taking Elfin, the son of that prince, under his protection, It was from this account that Thomas, the son of Einion Offeiriad, descended from Gruffydd Gwyr, formed his romance of Taliesin, the son of Cariadwen — Elfin, the son of Goddnou—Rhun, the son of Maelgwn Gwynedd, and the operations of the Cauldron of Ceridwen."

Next follows the Pedigree of Taliesin, Chief of the Bards, from Thomas Hopkin of Coychurch’s MS.

"Taliesin, Chief of the Bards of the West, the son of Saint Henwg, of Caerlleon upon Usk, the son of Fflwch, the son of Cynin, the son of Cynvarch, the son of Saint Clydawc, of Ewyas, the son of Gwynnar, the son of Caid, the son of Cadren, the son of Cynan, the son of Cyllin, the son of Caradog, the son of Bran, the son of Llyr Llediaith, King Paramount of all the Kings of Britain, and King, in lineal descent, of the country between the rivers Wye and Towy. Taliesin became Chief Bard of the West, from having been appointed to preside over the chair of the Round Table, at Caerlleon upon Usk."

A manuscript once in the Havod Uchtryd collection gives the following particulars

"Taliesin, Chief of the Bards of the West, the son of Henwg the Bard, of the College of Saint Cadocus, the son of Ffiwch Lawdrwm, of Caerlleon upon Usk, in Glainorgan, the son of Cynvar, the son of Saint Clydog, the son of Gwynnar, the son of Cadrain, the son of Cynan, the son of Caradog, the son of Bran the Blessed, the son of Llyr Llediaith.

"Taliesin, Chief of the Bards, erected the church of Llanhenwg, at Caerlleon upon Usk, which he dedicated to the memory of his father, called Saint Henwg, who went to Rome on a mission to Constantine the Blessed, requesting that he would send Saints Germanus and Lupus to Britain, to strengthen the faith and renew baptism there.

"Taliesin, the son of Henwg, was taken by the wild Irish, who unjustly occupied Gower; but while on board ship, on his way to Ireland, he saw a skin coracle, quite empty, on the surface of the sea, and it came closely to the side of the ship; whereupon Taliesin, taking a skin-covered spar in his hand, leaped into it, and rowed towards band, until he stuck on a pole in the weir of Gwyddno Garanhir; when a young chieftain, named Elphin, seeing him so entangled, delivered him from his peril. This Elphin was taken for the son of Gwyddno, although in reality he was the son of Elivri, his daughter, but by whom was then quite unknown; it was, however, afterwards discovered that Urien Rheged, King of Gower and Aberllychwr, was his father, who introduced him to the court of Arthur, at Caerlleon upon Usk, where his feats, learning, and endowments were found to be so superior that he was created a golden-tongued Knight of the Round Table. After the death of Arthur, Taliesin became Chief Bard to Urien Rheged, at Aberllychwr in Rheged."

Another extract, given in the above volume, is from a manuscript by Llywelyn Sion, of Llangewydd

"Talhaiarn, the father of Tangwn, presided in the chair of Urien Rheged, at Caer-Gwyroswydd, after the expulsion of the Irish from
Gower, Carnwyllion, Cantrev-Bychan, and the Cantred of Iscennen. The said chair was established at Caer-Gwyroswydd, or Ystum
Llwynarth, where Urien Rheged was accustomed to hold his national and royal court, "After the death of Talhaiarn, Taliesin, Chief of the Bards, presided in three chairs, namely: the chair of Caerlieon upon lJsk, the chair of Rheged, at Bangor Teivy, under the patronage of Cedig ab Ceredig, ab Cuneddav Wledig; but he afterwards was invited to the territory of Gwyddnyw, the son of Gwydion, in Arllechwedd, Arvon, where he had lands conferred on him, and where he resided until the time of Maelgwn Gwynedd, when he was dispossessed of that property, for which he pronounced his curse on Maelgwn, and all his possessions; whereupon the Van Velen came to Rhos, and whoever witnessed it became doomed to certain death. Maelgwn saw the Vad Velen through the keyhole, in Rhos church, and died in consequence. Taliesin, in his old age, returned to Caer-Gwyroswydd, to Riwallon, the son of Urien; after which he visited Cedig, the son of Ceredig, the son of Cunnedav Wledig, where he died, and was buried with high honours, such as should always be shown to a man who ranked among the principal wise men of the Cymric nation; and Taliesin, Chief of the Bards, was the highest of the most exalted class, either in literature, wisdom, the science of vocal song, or any other attainment, whether sacred or profane. Thus terminates the information respecting the chief bards of the chair of Caerlleon upon Usk, called now the chair of Glamorgan."

It is probable that Taliesin was educated, or completed his education, at the school of the celebrated Cattwg, at Llariveithin, in Glamorgan. In after life he became the bard of Urien Rheged, to whom, and to his own son Owain, his principal poems are addressed. In the opinion of the most judicious critics these poems are undoubtedly genuine. They certainly contain passages of exquisite beauty, and~ are far superior to many of the other compositions attributed to him, of which some rest on very questionable authority, and some are evidently Middle Age productions. Indeed, the last of the poems translated in the text bears in some MSS. the name of lonas Athraw o Fynyw.

The name of Taliesin is thus commemorated in the Triads -

"The three Baptismal Bards of the Isle of Britain :— Merddin, Emrys, Taliesin, Chief of Bards, and Merddin, son of Madoc Morvryn." —Tr. 125.

This Triad is more fully explained in an extract from MS. Triads of the Round Table, given in the lola MSS., p. 468.

"The Nine Impulsive Stocks of the Baptismal Bards of Britain. — The three primitive baptismal bards of the Cambro-Britons: Madog, the son of Morvryn, of Caerlleon upon Usk; Taliesin, the son of Saint Henwg, of Caerlleon upon Usk; and Merddin Emrys, of Maesabeg, in Glywysyg; after whom came Saint Talhaiarn, the father of Tangwyn, Merddin, the son of Madog Morvryn, and Meugant Hen, of Caerlleon upon Usk; who were succeeded by Balchnoe, the bard of Teibo, at Llandaff; Saint Cattwg; and Cynddylan, the bard. These nine were called the Impulsive Stocks of the baptismal bards of Britain; Taliesin being their chair-president; for which reason he was designated Taliesin, Chief Bard of the West. They are likewise called the nine superinstitutionists of the baptismal chair; and no institution is deemed permanent unless renewed triennially, till the end of thrice three, or nine years. The institution was also called the Chair of the Round Table, under the superior privileges of which Gildas, the prophet, and Saint Cattwg the Wise, of Lancarvan, were bards; and also Llywarch Hen, the son of Elidr Lydanwyn, Ystudvach, the bard, and Ystyphan, the bard of Teilo."

There are evidently in the foregoing notices some authentic historical facts, as well as legendary traditions of the age of chivalry, which it would require an able critic to separate from each other.

Tradition has handed down a Cairn near Aberystwyth as the grave of Taliesin, the locality of which agrees with the foregoing account.

At one of the meetings of the Cambrian Archeological Association this Cairn was visited, It contains a Cistvaen, eight feet long by two feet six wide, and about three feet deep, composed of rude slabs of stone. One of the top stones, which lies near it, measures five feet nine by three feet nine. The Cairn was opened some fifty or sixty years ago, and the Cistvaen then contained some earth of a different colour to that of the adjoining soil.

The various poems recited in the Tale of Taliesin appear to have been composed at different periods, and it is not improbable that the above-mentioned Thomas ab Einion Offeiriad collected the poems attributed to Taliesin, which were in existence before his time, and added others to form the Mabinogi, which from expressions in page 265, and the very numerous transformations stated in the poetry, but not given in the prose, must have been much more complete than in its present state.

That the story of Taliesin was current in the Middle Ages is well known. If proof were wanting the lines of Llywarch Prydydd Moch, in allusion to the liberation of Elphin, might be adduced. They occur in an ode to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, composed probably not later than 1220.

"I will address my Lord with the greatly greeting muse, with the dowry of Keridwen, the Ruler of Bardism, in the manner of Taliesin, when he liberated Elphin, when he overshaded the Bardic mystery with the banners of the Bards. "—Davies’s Myth. of the Druids.

From several poems being addressed to Hopkin ap Thomas ab Einiawn, by Davydd y Coed, Iorwerth Llwyd, and others who flourished about the years 1300 to 1350, it may be inferred that Hopkin’s father, the above Thomas ab Einiawn, was contemporary with Llywarch Prydydd y Moch, and therefore not the author but merely the compiler of the already well-known story of Caridwen, Taliesin, and Elphin.

No perfect copy of the Mabinogi of Taliesin being accessible, it has been necessary to print it in the present series from two fragments. The former of the two is contained in a MS. in the Library of the Welsh School, in London. It is written in a modern round hand, and bears the title "Y Prif-feirdd Cymreig, sef Canau &c. a gasglwyd ganwyf fi, William Morris o Gaergybi ym Mon. 1758." The MS. is of quarto size.

The second fragment is from a MS. in the library of the late lob Morganwg, and was kindly communicated by his son, the late Mr. Taliesin Williams (Ab Iola).

It should be mentioned that the Mabinogi of Taliesin has already been published, although not in so complete a form as the present version, with a translation, by the late Dr. Owen Pughe, in the fifth volume of the Cambrian Quarterly; and, with two exceptions (the poems beginning "Discover thou what is," and "I adore the Supreme, Lord of all animation," ), the translations of the poems now published are extracted from that work, the necessary alterations being made where the text differed materially. The first portion of it is also to be found (untranslated) in the Myvyrian Archaiology, vol. I. page 17, and part of it is inserted in Jones’s Welsh Bards.

The Transmigrations of Taliesin will remind the general reader of the adventures of the second Royal Calander in the Arabian Nights. ~0425 Gwrgwst Lledlwm "the Ragged" ap Cenue ~0340 Guotepauc Ap Tegfan Emerita Ferch Coel Emerita Ferch Coel ~0365 Dyfynwal Ap Guotepauc Ruled the areas of Dumbarton and Clyde ~0367 - ~0440 Amlauit Wledic 73 73 Ruled the areas of East Cumbria, North Lancashire and most of Yorkshire Gwen Verch Cunedda ~0370 Seithenin Ap Guotepauc Ruled the areas of Setantii and lower Lancashire ~0425 March Coel ~0427 Llyr Merini ~0429 Eliffer ~0431 Gwenddoleu ~0450 Meirchion Gul ap Gwrst ~0480 Elidir ap Meirchion ~0510 Llywarch Hen ap Elidir ~0540 Dwywg ap Llywarch ~0570 Gwair ap Dwywg ~0600 Tegid ap Gwair ~0630 Alcwn ap Tegid ~0660 Sandde ap Alcwn ~0700 Elidir ap Sandde ~0890 Clydog ap Cadell ~0730 - 0825 Hywel Ap Rhodri 95 95 ~0910 Ieuaf (Levan) ap Idwal Foel ~0912 - 0986 Meurig ap Idwal Foel 74 74 ~0914 Rhodri ap Idwal Foel ~0940 - 0996 Idwal ap Meruig 56 56 ~0970 Iago ap Idwal Iago ap Idwal was at first excluded from the throne of Gwynedd by Llywelyn ap Seisyll (also Llewellyn ap Sitsyllt) from 1018 to 1023.  Iago ap Idwal was Prince of Gwynedd from 1023 to 1039 when he was murdered by Llywelyn ap Seisyll's son Gruffydd ap Llewelyn who was the only Welsh king to actually rule over the whole of Wales from 1057 until his death in 1063.

Her name is spelled differently depending on where you look. It can be either the traditional Guinevere, or Guenevere, or Guenievre, or Guenhumare or Ginevra. In Welsh, she is Gwenhwyfar; in Cornish, Jenefer.

In all cases, she is surpassingly beautiful and desirable, if morally lax from the time of the Vulgate Cycle (13th century) onward. She is either forced into or conceives and engineers an extra-marital relationship with Lancelot and is either condemned, according to law, or forgiven outright for her sins. She either was a willing accomplice to Mordred's treachery against Arthur, as suggested in Wace and Layamon, or was forced into it against her will as stated in John Hardyng's "Chronicle" (1457). Early mentions of Guinevere, in the Triads of the Island of Britain, give tantalising glimpses of her original relationship with Mordred: he is shown forcing his way into Arthur's Court, dragging the Queen from her throne and striking her, but the reasons why are unknown. The incident may have been related to quarrels between Guinevere and her sister, Mordred's wife, Gwenhwyfach, which are said to have been the eventual cause of the Battle of Camlann.

Guinevere is frequently abducted in Romance, sometimes by King Melwas of Somerset, sometimes by Mordred and sometimes by the marauding tribes from the north. She meets her end sometimes in a convent at Amesbury or Caerleon and sometimes she dies at the vengeful hand of Lancelot. Scottish stories, recorded by Boece, indicate she died as a prisoner of Mordred's followers at Barry Hill in Strathmore. She was buried at Meigle where her memorial can still be seen. Despite this, her bones either were or were not found by the monks of Glastonbury when they discovered the grave of Arthur in 1191, depending upon which version of the burial cross inscription you read.

Giraldus Cambrensis says the cross claimed Guinevere as Arthur's "second wife". This appears to echo the story of the False Guinevere of French Romance: an identical half-sister of the Queen fathered on the same night who persuaded Arthur that she was his true wife. For two and a half years, the King was separated from the real Guinevere until the deception was uncovered. There is also an ancient Triad of the Island of Britain which records Arthur's "Three Chief Queens": Gwenhwyfar daughter of Cywryd, Gwenhwyfar daughter of Gwythyr ap Greidiol and Gwenhwyfar daughter of Ogrfan Gawr. This may further indicate the confusion over the lady's parentage as already alluded to. Alternatively, the three Guineveres could show a common Triple-Goddess motif at the root of many later Celtic characters.

Whatever Guinevere was or was not, she has been a useful tool in the hands of the romancers throughout the centuries and has greatly enhanced the legends of King Arthur.

Land records identify him as a "yeoman":

"Ebenezer Batcheller, yeoman, with wife Sarah, convey to David Batcheller, of Wenham, cooper, all that his dwelling house and one acre of land situate in South Wenham, which Mark Batcheller, late of said Wenham, lived upon, which said land was reserved to belong to said dwelling house and given to said Ebenezer by the last will and testament of his father John Batcheller, of Wenham, and adjoins the land of said David Batcheller by the last will and testament of his father John Batcheller."

I have found no evidence of this Ebenezer's roll in the American Revolution, though I expect he was active in some way, as many of his relatives were also involved in the "Patriotic Cause". His will, dated 1779 is interesting for many reasons, not the least of which is his identification of his home as being "in the state of Mass. Bay in New England"; that the war had not yet been decided bears evidence to Ebenezer's political leanings. Also, I again find it so interesting that this will provides such a detailed bequest to the widow; it makes me wonder what would happen if she wandered into a room other than "the west Lower room" or if she needed more than four cord of wood per year! In addition, note the mention of the Amherst NH land which he had settled on his eldest two sons.

EARL OF WARWICK (1478 - 1499)

After the battle of Bosworth, and towards the end of the War of the Roses, the Earl of Warwick, the son of the Duke of Clarence, was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

Perkin Warbeck, representing himself as Richard, Duke of York the son of King Henry IV had been a thorn in the side of King Henry VII for seven years. Warbeck was captured while trying to escape to the coast and was brought to the Tower.

A plan was conjured by Warbeck to escape and had involved the Earl in the escape, but the plan was discovered and Perkins and several other conspirators were executed.

The Earl of Warwick was executed on Tower Hill and the male line of the Plantagenets which had flourished from the reign of Henry II had ended as there was no other descendent the Castle and Earldom was crown property for nearly half a century.

He married
  Margery, daughter of Sir Ralph Bosley, and had Sir William, who
  succeeded his grandfather, John, Ralph, Robert, Hugh, Margaret and
  Jane ~1295 Margaret Bosley ~1265 Richard de Bosley ~1267 Sir William IV Brereton Sir William Brereton, of Brereton, married Roesia, daughter of Ralph
  Vernon, of the ancient family of Barons of Shipbrooke, and his wife Mary
  Dacre, daughter of the Lord of Dacre. She was living 15th of Edward II,
  1322, in which year she joins her husband in constituting their son, Richard
  Brereton, their attorney to receive seizin of lands in Brereton. In
  1301 the same Sir William gives 100 marks to Thomas, son of Roger Davenport,
  for the marriage of his son John to William's daughter Margery,
  which marriage was dissolved in 1305. William and Roesia had issue:
  William, John, Peter, Richard, Nicholas, Margery and Matilda. ~1269 - >1322 Roesia De Vernon 53 53 ~1223 Sir Ralph III Brereton Sir Ralph Brereton of Brereton, Knight, said in some pedigrees to
  marry Ada, daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, and his wife Maud or
  Matilda, daughter of Hugh de Keveliock, Earl of Chester. This gives the
  Breretons Royal Descent because she was great-granddaughter of David,
  King of Scotland, and maternally the Earls of Chester were Royal Earls,
  who possessed jura regalis in the Palatinate of Chester. They also laid
  claim to royal descent from the Venables, who was a relation of Stephen
  of Blois and William, the Conqueror. At first the descent of the Breretons
  from the royal blood of Scotland was mentioned as a mere claim,
  which was found in Collins' Peerage and in Dugdale's British Peers, but
  a copy of the patent or grant of creation to Sir William Brereton, of the
  Barony of Brereton, has since been procured and in that instrument such
  royal descent in Scotland is expressly recited and recognized in the following
  terms: "We, considering with mature deliberation the free and
  true services of Sir William Brereton, and that he is sprung from an
  ancient, noble and most renowned family, inasmuch as he is descended,
  through many illustrious ancestors, from Ada, sister of John, surnamed
  le Scot, 7th Earl of Chester, and daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon,
  Lord of Galloway, within our kingdom of Scotland." (This quotation is
  found in Archaeologia, or Miscellaneous Tracts Relating to Antiquity,
  Vol. 33, p. 59.) ~1250 Mary De Dacre ~1145 William De Brereton The first reference to Brereton is in the Doomsday Book which refers to the 'Manor of Bretune'. The authentic family tree begins in 1175 with William de Brereton of Brereton. It is said that he was named William after William the Conqueror and it became a recurring name within the family. The history of the house spans a 414 year period. The twin towers were originally adorned by copper cupolas, but these were removed, presumably because of their weight. The last Lord Brereton, Francis, died in 1722 a batchelor thus ending a six hundred year lineage. Since then the estate has had several private owners. A 60 page booklet :- 'The Story of Brereton Hall, Cheshire' by Arthur L.Moir, provides a comprehensive account of Brereton family history.

Ralph de Brereton, joins with Orme de Davenport in witnessing a
  deed of Gilbert Venables in the time of William II, called Rufus, the Red. ~1175 Sir Ralph II Brereton ~1265 - 1298 Thomas de Multon 33 33 ~1245 - 1292 Thomas de Multon 47 47 ~1285 Sir Thomas de Multon ~1285 Nicole De Mauley ~1270 Piers De Mauley Le Tierce 1300 Margaret de Multon ~1290 - 20 MAR 1338/39 Sir Randolph De Dacre 12 MAR 1264/65 - 1318 Sir William De Dacre Served against Scots 1304 and 1311; granted a charter of freewarren in all his demesne lands at Dacre and Halton, Lancashire, and licence 1307 to crenellate his mansion at Dunwalloght, Cumberland. ~1270 - 1324 Joan Garnet 54 54 ~1235 - 1286 Ranulph De Dacre 51 51 Ranulph de Dacre, in the lifetime of his father, had been a stanch adherent of King Henry III in the conflicts between that monarch and the barons, and upon succeeding to his inheritance, was appointed sheriff of Cumberland. In the 7th Edward I [1279], he was constituted sheriff of Yorkshire, and continued in that trust until the end of the 3rd quarter of the 8th succeeding year. This Ranulph m. Joane de Luci, and dying in the 14th Edward I, was s. by his son, William de Dacre. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 152, Dacre, Barons Dacre, of Gillesland, or the North] ~1236 Joan de Multon ~1240 Benedict Garnet ~1210 - 1252 Roger Garnet 42 42 ~1180 Benet Garnet ~1185 Mabel FitzUrse ~1155 Richard FitzUrse ~1160 Maud Boulers ~1125 Reginald FitzUrse Reginald Fitzurse, (fl. 1170, one of the murderers of St. Thomas of Canterbury, was the eldest son of Richard Fitzurse, on whose death about 1168 he inherited the manor of Williton, Somersetshire (COLLINSON, iii. 487); he also held the manor of Barham, Kent (HASTED, iii. 536), and lands in Northamptonshire (Liber Niger, p. 216). He is sometimes called a baron, for he held of the king in chief. He was one of the four knights who were stirred up by the hasty words of Henry II to plot the archbishop's death. They left Bures, near Bayeux, where the king then was, and proceeded, it is said, by different routes to England, all meeting at Saltwood, then held by Ranulf de Broc, on 28 Dec. 1170. The next day they set out with a few men, and having gathered reinforcements, especially from the abbot of St. Augustine's, at whose house they halted, they entered the archbishop's hall after dinner, probably about 3 P.M., and demanded to see him. Reginald told him that he bore a message from the king, and took the most prominent and offensive part in the interview which ensued (FITZSTEPHEN, Becket, iii. 123, Vita anon., ib. iv. 71). He had been one of Thomas's tenants or men while he was chancellor; the archbishop reminded him of this; the reminder increased his anger, and he called on all who were on the king's side to hinder the archbishop from escaping. When the knights went out to arm and post their guards, Reginald compelled one of the archbishop's men to fasten his armour, and snatched an axe from a carpenter who was engaged on some repairs. While Thomas was being forced by his monks to enter the church, the knights entered the cloister, and Reginald was foremost in bursting into the church, shouting "King's men!". He met the archbishop, and after some words tried to drag him out of the church. Thomas called him pander, and said that he ought not to touch him, for he owed him fealty.

After the murder had been done the knights rode to Saltwood, glorying, it is said, in their deed (Becket, iv. 158), though William de Tracy afterwards declared that they were overwhelmed with a sense of their guilt. On the 31st they proceeded to South Malling, near Lewes, one of the archiepiscopal manors, and there it is said a table cast their armour from off it (ib. ii. 285).

They were excommunicated by the pope, and the king advised them to flee into Scotland. There, however, the king and people were for hanging them, so they were forced to return into England (ib. iv. 162). They took shelter in Knaresborough, which belonged to Hugh Morville, and remained there a year (BENEDICT, i. 13).

All shunned them and even dogs refused to eat morsels of their meat (ib. p. 14). At last they were forced by hunger and misery to give themselves up to the king. He did not know what to do with them, for as murderers of a priest they were not amenable to lay jurisdiction (NEWBURGH, ii. 157; JOHN OF SALISBURY, Epp. ii. 273); so he sent them to the pope, who could inflict no heavier penalty than fasting and banishment to the Holy Land. Before he left Reginald Fitzurse gave half his manor of Williton to his brother and half to the knights of St. John. He and his companions are said to have performed their penance in the Black Mountain (various explanations of this name have been given; none are satisfactory; it was evidently intended to indicate some place, probably a religious house, near Jerusalem), to have died there, and to have been buried at Jerusalem before the door of the Templars' church (HOVEDEN, ii. 17). It was believed that all died within three years of the date of their crime. There are some legends about their fate (STANLEY). Reginald Fitzurse is said to have gone to Ireland and to have there founded the family of McMahon (Fate of Sacrilege, p. 183). ~1130 Baldwin de Boulers ~1100 - 1168 Richard FitzUrse 68 68 unknown mistress ~1130 Sibyl Falaise ~1326 Mary De Dacre ~1300 Sir John Stafford ~1240 William Stafford ~1303 Margaret de Stafford ~1180 William de Stafford ~1220 Auda De Vernon ~1260 William Stafford ~1270 Isabella ~1195 Warine De Vernon ~1200 Mary De Audeville ~1175 Warine De Vernon ~1178 Auda Malbrank ~1203 - 1270 Ralph De Vernon 67 67 Rector of Kegworth and Lord of Hanwell, having recovered a moiety of the barony from his nieces.
Married 2ndly, Eustacia, legitimate daughter and heiress, ancestress of the Whitmores of Thurstanston.
Rector of Hanwell, wrested barony from his nieces, becoming de jure Baron of Shipbrook (magnate, not member of peerage). ~1221 Maude Grosvenor ~1245 Sir William III Brereton Sir William Brereton of Brereton, ward of Sir Richard Sonbach
  (Sandbach), who had grant of the wardship of said William from William
de Venables, Baron of Kinderton, to marry him or his younger brother,
  Gilbert Brereton, if William died under age, to one of the legitimate
  daughters of Richard Sandbach. Such were the precious servitudes of our
  ancestors; and great must have been the docility and tractability of the
  adults (and it is a remarkable trait in feudal manners) in submitting
  their inclinations in the serious article of marriage to the inscrutable
  wisdom of their seniors. Accordingly we find the heir of Brereton, William,
  was (nolens volens) married to the daughter of Richard Sandbach.
  The manor of Sandbach is given in Domesday among the possessions of
  the Bigot-Bigod family, whose manors subsequently formed the fee of
  Aldford, of which Sandbach was a dependency. A family was certainly
  settled here in the reign of King John, who held Sandbach from Aldford
  fee, and had assumed the local name. Near the manor house of Sandbach
  is the market place containing the Crosses of Sandbach, which may
  indisputably be ranked among the finest monuments of antiquity, of the
  kind, now existing in the kingdom. They are supposed to have been
  erected shortly after the introduction of Christianity on the places where
  it was first preached. The present height of the Greater Cross is 16 ft.

He was the eldest son of William Brereton of Handford and Margaret Holland. He matriculated in Brasenose College in 1621.[1] In 1627, he inherited the lands and money of his father. The same year, he was elected for Parliament and negotiated with King Charles I for a title [2] and became a baronet. [3]  Morrill describes Brereton as ‘ a substantial but not leading landowner’ [4]

Brereton had a 500 year lineage going back to the first lords of Brereton, Cheshire.  A marriage was arranged with with Susanna, daughter of Sir George Booth, an influential nobleman of Cheshire.

Brereton was an energetic man of government.  He was a member of Parliament, a magistrate, and a financial adventurer, and was a primary contributor to the plantation of the Massachusetts Bay. In 1634-1635 he made travels to the Netherlands and Ireland which he describes in ‘Travels in Holland, …’ [5]

By 1640 England faced an internal division : revolt in Scotland and later in Ireland, combined with the royal enforcement of Catholic practice in local churches caused a confrontation of King with Parliament. Brereton had a seat in both the Short and Long Parliaments [6], which turned against the King in 1642. This was the beginning of the Civil War.[7]

Sir William Brereton, meanwhile, had remarried after the death of his first wife, this time to a woman of strong Puritan religious faith named Cicely.[8] He chose to fight for Parliament and received control of Roundhead (Parliamentarian) troops in Cheshire. Sir William defeated Royalist armies at Nantwich, Stafford, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, Denbigh and Chester, and held executive power in Cheshire county during the conflict. His military victories were crucial to Parliamentary control of Britain. After the war, his career ended with a defeat in a contested election in 1656, and he retired from public life.

Brereton supposedly played a juridical role in the death-sentence upon King Charles [9] and he received money and land for his services to the English Commonwealth,  including Macclesfield Forest and the Croydon Episcopal Palace. It is there he died in 1661. The site of his burial is unknown.[10]


Sir William Brereton 1604 - 1661

Author: Harold Forster MBE, of Nantwich

Orders of the day, Volume 33, Issue 6, 2001/2002

The first mention of this member of the Brereton family appears in the Register of Christenings at Manchester Collegiate Church for 1604: "William, Son to William Brereton, Esq., of Hamford (Handforth)”.

When only six years of age William was to lose his father but he developed into a worthy descendant of many illustrious ancestors, receiving his education at Brasenose College, Oxford. In 1627, when only 23, he was created a baron by Charles I, the King he was later to so vigorously oppose in battle.

In 1628 he was elected as a Member of Parliament for Cheshire but he relinquished his seat in order to travel, his 'Grand Tour’ taking him to Scotland, Ireland and Holland. While travelling in Holland Sir William took great interest in military matters, and in particular he was intrigued with the art of siege warfare, an interest that was to serve him well in later days. In 1639 he was re-elected to Parliament and immediately came under the notice of several prominent politicians as 'a born leader'.

Sir William married twice. His first wife, Susannah died in 1637, leaving one son, Thomas. His second wife was Cicely, the daughter of Sir William Skeffington of Leicestershire and the widow of Edward Mytton of Weston in Staffordshire. They had two daughters.

Sir William had strong views on the so called ‘Divine Right of Kings' and also objected to the imposition of certain tax demands, and in particular ‘Ship Money’. He was also in dispute with the Mayor and Corporation of the City of Chester for refusing to pay ‘Murage’ a tax levied on townspeople for the repair and maintenance of the city walls.

He owned a town house in Chester, and when in 1642 King Charles raised his Standard at Nottingham, Sir William was in Chester trying to drum up recruits for the Parliamentary Army. The citizens of Royalist Chester chased him out of the city, an action which they were to regret later.

As the Civil War spread over the country, Sir William Brereton quickly became an important member of the Parliamentary Army. He was at first given command of all the Roundhead forces being mustered in Cheshire and later was promoted Major General of Cheshire, Shropshire, Lancashire and Staffordshire. His strong point was not so much as a leader in the field but in the plans he initiated to obtain information about enemy movements and, of course, in siege warfare, gained from the knowledge he obtained form his visit to Holland. It was said that Brereton “had spies under every hedge and friends in every village”. His greatest triumph was his siege and capture of the City of Chester, a project that took over 12 months.

It was in 1643 that Sir William Brereton came to Nantwich. arriving just ahead of Sir Thomas Aston. Both the Royalists and Parliamentarians realised its strategic importance as a road centre. Making Nantwich their headquarters, the Parliamentarian Army surrounded the town with earthworks and trenches sufficient to keep out any assaults.

Nantwich was under siege from December 1643 to January 1644, but in the Battle of Nantwich on 25th January 1644, the Royalist Army, under Lord Byron, was soundly defeated. After the war Sir William Brereton was well rewarded for his efforts. Amongst other ‘gifts' he received the Chief Forestership of the Forest of Macclesfield and the Seneschalship of the Hundred of Macclesfield, both of which would provide him with considerable monetary benefits. In 1652 he was given the tenancy of Croydon Palace, the former home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He spent the last nine years of his life commuting between his newly-acquired London home and his ancestral home at Handforth, Cheshire.

He died at Croydon in 1661 and a story is told that when on the way from Croydon to Cheadle for burial, his body was washed away in a river. It is generally assumed however that it did reach Cheadle and was buried in the family vault in the church of that Cheshire town. ~1610 - 1637 Susanna Booths 27 27 ~1580 Sir George Booths ~1615 Cicely Skeffington ~1630 - 1673 Thomas Brereton 43 43 ~1585 Sir William Skeffington ~1605 Edward Mytton ~1430 Joan Holford ~1400 William Holford ~1505 Sir Urian Brereton ~1510 Eleanor Egerton ~1480 Sir Philip Egerton ~1530 Anne Brereton ~1525 Randal Dod ~1515 Isabel Butler ~1485 Thomas Butler ~1532 Sir Randle Brereton ~1535 Mary Griffiths ~1515 Sir William Griffiths ~1555 Sir Randle Brereton ~1560 Frances Throgmorton ~1530 Sir Robert Throgmorton 1576 Mary Brereton ~1570 Sir Richard Egerton ~1558 - ~1585 Richard Brereton 27 27 ~1560 Sir Thomas Brereton ~1455 - 1511 Thomas Brereton 56 56 * Rector of the higher moiety in Malpas, died 1511. ~1514 Thomas Brereton ~1516 Fr. Peter Brereton ~1506 Sir Roger Brereton ~1508 - 1542 John Brereton 34 34 *  Rector of both moieties of Malpas and of Astbury, Bebington and St. Mary's Chester, died in 1542. ~1530 James Starkey ~1534 Elizabeth Brereton ~1504 - 1556 Richard Brereton 52 52 ~1510 Jane Massey ~1480 Geoffrey Massey ~1518 - 1536 Sir William Brereton 18 18 * Chamberlain of Chester, and groom of the chamber to Henry VIII. He married Elizabeth the daughter of Charles, Earl of Worcester and was beheaded 17 May 1536.

One April day in the year 1536 a Tournament of knightly sports was in progress was in progress at the Tilting-Ground at Greenwich. King Henry VIII was there with his queen, Anne Boleyn.

The Queen accidentally dropped her handkerchief, and a chivalrous knight picked it up on the point of his lance and handed it to the Queen.

King Henry saw this act; he left the royal stand, where he and Anne Boleyn were sitting, and his furious temper was plain to see. He ordered that the knight, Sir William Brereton, and four companions should be arrested immediately, and carried off to the Tower of London, to be charged with High Treason as lovers of the Queen. Anne Boleyn was arrested a few hours later and never saw the king again.

A jury of Henry's choosing was impanelled and the five prisoners were hastily tried. Though they pleaded "Not Guilty" they were sentenced to death and beheaded on Tower Hill on May 17th 1536. They were:- Lord Rochford (Anne Boleyn's brother), Sir William Brereton; Sir Henry Norris; Sir Francis Weston and Mark Smeaton, a mere boy. The hapless Queen was beheaded two days later at a scaffold within the Tower.
The following day the King was betrothed to Jane Seymour, and the marriage took place ten days later at York Place.

There is some confusion about the identity of this Sir William Brereton. Apparently he was Sir William Brereton of Aldford, the 7th son of Sir Randle of Malpas Hall. He had presented Anne Boleyn with a greyhound named 'Urian'. Also the details about the tournament may be an embellishment of the deeds of Norris and not Brereton. Sir William had previously accompanied the King and Queen on a visit to check on the inventory of Cardinal Wolsey's goods and chattels shortly before the latter's death. This may have inclined Cavendish, Wolsey's secretary, to testify against him.

Richard de Beauchamp, who unless the Peerage be considered as one incident to the tenure of the Castle (which he never possessed), must be considered as Lord Bergavenny. He was born in or before 1397, being 14 years and upwards in June, 1411. He was Knight of the Bath April 8, 1413; Joint Warden of the Welsh Marches 1415. Captain of Lancers and Archers in Normany 1418. He married July 27, 1411, at Tewksbury, Isabel Despenser, daughter of Thomas le Despenser, Earl of Gloucester and his wife, Constance Plantagenet, daughter of Edmund, Duke of York, son of Edward III. In 1414 she was the sole heir to her brother, Richard le Despenser. After her husband's death        Isabel married Richard de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, first cousin to her first husband. Richard de Beauchamp was mortally wounded at the seige of Meaux in 1422 and died sine prole male, leaving an only daughter Margaret 1415 Elizabeth De Beauchamp Joan de la Montaigne ~1470 Edward Berkeley ~1465 Sir Charles de Beaufort Sir Charles de Beaufort, who assumed the name of Somerset, Knight of the Garter, knighted Aug. 6, 1485. He was a person of great abilities and arrived to very high advancements, as well in honor as estates. He was in the Privy Council and Constable of Helmesley Castle in 1486; Admiral of the Fleet 1487; Vice Chamberlain 1488; Captain of the Yeomen of the Guards, and made Knight Banneret July 21, 1506. He became Baron Herbert of Ragland, Chepstow and Gower, in Wales, in right of his wife July 6, 1491; Lord Chamberlain in 1508; created Earl of Worcester Feb. 5, 1513. In 6th of Henry VII he was sent as ambassador with the Order of the Garter to Emperor Maximillian I, King Henry being his near kinsman. These eminent favours were doubtless a great furtherance of his marriage with Elizabeth, sole daughter of William Herbert, Earl of Huntingdon, Lord Herbert, etc., and was made Governor of Payne Castle, and Montgomery Castle in Wales. He was summoned to Parliament in 1509-1512 among the Barons by the name of Charles Somerset de Herbert, Chevalier. He continued in great favour with Henry VIII until his lordship's death April 15, 1526, and was buried at Windsor in Beaufort Chapel with his first two wives. He had married 2nd Elizabeth West and 3rd Eleanor Sutton. By his 1st wife he had Henry, his successor, and a daughter Elizabeth, and by his 2nd wife Charles, George and Mary. ~1470 Elizabeth Herbert ~1440 William Herbert ~1470 Elizabeth West ~1475 Eleanor Sutton ~1488 Sir Henry de Beaufort Sir Henry (Beaufort) Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester, etc., in 1526. For his signal exploits performed in France in the wars in his father's lifetime he had been knighted, by Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. (In the book, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," this Charles Brandon marries Mary, sister of Henry VIII.) Henry Somerset accompanied the Princess Mary to France when she married 1st the King of France. Shortly after the death of his father, Henry was one of the commission for concluding a peace with the French, and departed this life Nov. 26, 1549, leaving many manors and much land in various counties. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne. (Wurts' Magna Charta, Part III, p. 568, says she was daughter of Thomas Browne, but Edmondson and Collins both give her as the daughter of Anthony, son of Thomas Browne. Burke's Dormant and Ext. Peerage also. E. E. W.) ~1490 Elizabeth de Beaufort ~1495 Charles de Beaufort ~1497 George de Beaufort ~1499 Mary de Beaufort ~1490 Elizabeth Browne ~1460 Sir Anthony Browne ~1392 - 1414 Richard Despenser 22 22 ~1270 - 1316 Sir Robert de Ufford 46 46 Sir Robert de Ufford, first Baron, Knight, who was summoned to Parliament as a Baron from 13 Jan., 1308, to Dec. 19, 1311. His lordship was in the expedition made into Scotland in 34 of Edward I, 1306. He married Cecily, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Sir Robert de Valoines, Knight, Lord of Walsham, and had issue Robert, John, Ralph and Edmund. He died 1316. ~1275 Cecily de Valoines ~1245 Sir Robert de Valoines Sir Robert de Ufford, first Baron, Knight, who was summoned to Parliament as a Baron from 13 Jan., 1308, to Dec. 19, 1311. His lordship was in the expedition made into Scotland in 34 of Edward I, 1306. He married Cecily, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Sir Robert de Valoines, Knight, Lord of Walsham, and had issue Robert, John, Ralph and Edmund.

His remains were brought over to England, and interred with his father, of Macclesfield. Sir Peter had wedded Joan, daughter and heiress of Sir Gilbert Haydock, of Haydock, a Lancashire knt. of ancient descent and extensive possessions. ~1400 - 1439 Joan Haydock 39 39 ~1380 Sir Gilbert Haydock ~1370 - 1399 Sir Piers Legh 29 29 SIR PIERS LEGH, knt. younger son of Robert Legh, of Adlington, who d. temp. RICHARD II. and of Matilda, his wife, dau. and co-heiress of Sir John de Arderne, knt. married in November, 1388, Margaret,(*) only daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Danyers, knt. of Bradley, and obtained by this alliance, a grant of the lands of Hanley, now Lyme, in Macclesfield. Ormerod, in his History of the Palatinate, thus speaks of this acquisition; "When the flower of Cheshire chivalry were engaged under their earl, the BLACK PRINCE, at the battle of Cressy, Sir Thomas Danyers, was preeminently distinguished above the rest of that chosen phalanx, and in the most hazardous part of the battle, most probably when King EDWARD refused his succours, and bade 'his boy win his spurs and the honour of the day for himself,' the said Sir Thomas relieved the banner of his earl, and took prisoner the chamberlain of France, Tankerville. For this service, the Black Prince, as earl of Chester, settled on him an annuity of forty marks per annum, issuing out of his manor of Frodsham, until a convenient grant of land of the value of œ20 per annum could be made. In the 21st RICHARD II. it was finally settled that this estate should be 'the lands of Hanley, in Macclesfield forest,' which that sovereign (who in this year assumed the title of PRINCE OF CHESTER) accordingly granted to the daughter of Sir Thomas Danyers, and her third husband, Piers Legh."

Sir Piers Legh appears to have been knighted about the time of the grant, but lived only two years to enjoy it, for in 1399, when the insurgent forces of the duke of Lancaster advanced into Cheshire, Sir Piers was seized upon by that nobleman, and in consequence of his well known attachment to his ill-fated sovereign, beheaded at Chester, 1st August ~1372 Margaret Danyers ~1345 Sir Thomas Danyers ~1391 James De Leigh ~1392 John Leigh ~1395 Alice Alcocke ~1365 John Alcocke ~1365 John de Radcliffe ~1440 - 1468 Peter Leigh 28 28 ~1442 - 1475 Mabel Croft 33 33 ~1410 - 1457 Sir James Croft 47 47 ~1364 Thomas de Venables ~1365 William de Venables ~1365 Blanche de Arderne ~1385 Thomas Venables ~1242 Hugh de Coton ~1263 Elizabeth De Tittenlegh ~1230 Hamon Tittenlegh ~1580 - 24 FEB 1643/44 Mary Venables ~1400 Margery Stanley ~1415 - 1495 William Venables 80 80 ~1575 Richard Ashton ~1520 Maud Needham William Venables 1491 Eleanor Cotton ~1490 - 1556 Robert Needham 66 66 *

Robert Needham, the heir to his brother, William, was knighted on May 31st, 1533. He was Sheriff of Shropshire in 1528, 1535, and 1540, and he was Sheriff of Cheshire in 1538. Robert Needham's Will, dated May 24th, 1556, and probated July 30th, 1557, mentioned: his wife, Agnes: his daughter, Maud Venables, her husband, Sir Thomas Venables, and their daughter, Katheryn Venables: his son-in-law, Sir Andrew Corbett: his cousin and heir, Robert Needham, his brother, John, and his sisters, Jane Needham, Margery Needham, and Dorothy Needham: his son's daughter, Annes Needham, the daughter of Anne Hope: and his cousin, Edward Mainwaring of Whitmore. The executors were Sir Andrew Corbett and Edward Mainwaring. The Estate of Shavington remained in the family, indicating that the testator's "cousin and heir" was actually his grandson, Thomas Needham's oldest son. Also, the will mentioned that Sir Edward Aston owed the testator twelve score marks for the marriage of Robert Needham, the testator's cousin and heir, and it was the testator's grandson, Robert Needham, who, in fact, did marry Frances Aston, Sir Edward Aston's daughter - another indication that the heir of the testator was actually his grandson. ~1490 - 1560 Agnes Mainwaring 70 70 Sir Andrew Corbett ~1440 - 1495 John Mainwaring 55 55 ~1456 Matilda De Leigh 1446 William Davenport ~1472 William Davenport ~1422 Philip Booth ~1743 Infant Thornton ~1475 Margaret Ashton ~1458 Isabel De Leigh ~1360 - 1422 Sir John Booth 62 62 ~1365 Joan Trafford ~1388 Margery Booth ~1402 Alice Booth ~1405 Catherine Booth ~1393 Sir Henry Booth ~1365 John Byron Robert Clifton ~1390 Thomas Radcliffe ~1402 Isabell Findhern ~1334 - 1386 Henry Trafford 52 52 ~1340 - 1416 Margery Ince 76 76 ~1363 - 1394 Henry Trafford 31 31 ~1367 - 1434 Margaret Trafford 67 67 ~1369 Isabel Trafford 1304 Robert Ince 1242 - ~1405 Sir John Leygard 163 163 1357 - 1422 John Radcliffe 65 65 Robert Worsley ~1305 - 1370 Sir Henry Trafford 65 65 ~1302 Agnes Doterinde ~1264 - >1320 Sir John de Trafford 56 56 ~1380 Henry Radcliffe ~1236 Sir Henry de Trafford ~1240 Margaret ~1208 - ~1288 Sir Henry Trafford 80 80 ~1212 Loretta ~1217 Margaret de Trafford ~1175 Richard de Trafford ~1215 Amibil de Trafford ~1135 - ~1221 Henry de Trafford 86 86 ~1140 Christina ~1105 Richard de Trafford ~1137 James de Trafford ~1075 Henry de Trafford ~1045 - 1135 Henry de Trafford 90 90 ~1050 Margery Massey ~1015 Robert de Trafford ~0995 Randolphus de Trafford ~0965 - 1050 Randolphus de Trafford 85 85 ~1166 John de Radclyffe ~1239 - 1326 Richard Radclyffe 87 87 He was a gallant soldier of the Scottish wars and was given many honors by King Edward I. ~1210 Robert de Radclyffe ~1330 Thomas Booth ~1335 Elena De Workesley ~1362 Anne Booth ~1305 Robert De Workesley ~1310 Cecily Bromhall ~1337 William De Workesley ~1275 Henry De Worsley ~1280 Margaret Schoresworth ~1307 Joan De Worsley ~1245 Richard De Worsley ~1250 Maud de Wardley ~1215 - 1278 Geoffrey De Worsley 63 63 ~1220 Agnes de Worsley ~1185 Richard De Worsley ~1190 Maud de Singleton ~1155 Elias De Worsley Henry Statham ~1300 John Booth *
The family was really a branch of the family of Booth of Boothstown, Worsley, the first Booth of Barton being John del Booth, who married Loretta, who was daughter and sole heiress of Agnes de Barton.
John del Booth, by marrying Loretta de Notten, became Lord of the Manor of Barton, the family becoming known as the Booths of Barton. ~1305 Loretta de Notten ~1275 Sir Gilbert de Notten ~1280 Agnes de Barton *
Agnes de Barton was descended from Edith de Barton, daughter of Albert Grelle, or Greslet, who was the fourth Baron of Manchester. The first Lord of the Manor of Mamecestre, or Manchester, was also Albert Greslet, who, as a favourite of Roger de Poictou, probably occupied a high position at the Courts of William I. and William II. It is thought that he received the grant of the Barony of Mamecestre about 1086, and, until the death of Thomas, the eighth Baron, in 1310, the Barony continued in the hands of the Greslets. Thomas having no male issue, he left the Barony to his sister Joan, who had married Sir John de Ia Warre, Baron of Wickwar, County Gloucester. Albert Greslet the Younger, as the fourth Baron is often called, died in 1182, and was succeeded by his son, Robert. His daughter Edith married Gilbert, son of William de Notten, of Yorkshire, in 1190. Included amongst the lands paying knights' fees in the County of Lancaster in the opening decade of the thir-teenth century were those of Gilbert de Notten, who held in the right of his wife (Edith de Barton) "fourteen oxgangs of the Lord the King in Thanage, for which he paid 26s. annually." ~1245 Gilbert de Notten ~1250 Edith de Barton ~1215 William de Notten ~1220 Albert Greslet ~1270 Thomas Booth ~1240 William Booth ~1243 Sebilla Brereton ~1365 - 1415 Sir Robert de Legh 50 50 ~1210 Adam de Booth ~1365 Isabel Maud Belgrave ~1405 Thomas Davenport ~1405 Margery De Leigh ~1403 Johanna Davenport ~1401 - 1474 John Davenport 73 73 ~1310 - 1370 Robert De Legh 60 60 *

Of Adlington prior to the Norman Conquest we know very little, except that it was held by the Saxon Earl Edwin, not as a place of residence, but as a hunting lodge in the Forest of Macclesfield. After the Conquest it passed to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, and the nephew of William the Conqueror. As "Edulvinstane" it is mentioned in the Domesday Survey.
Early in the thirteenth century it was granted to a family named "de Corona". Four generations of this family lived at Adlington, Thomas and Ellen de Corona being the children of the third generation. Thomas married, but his son predeceased him without issue. Ellen married John de Legh of Booths and in the year 1315 Thomas de Corona granted Adlington to his sister Ellen and her husband for their lives, with remainder to Robert de Legh their second son and his heirs for ever. The Legh family has lived at Adlington since this date.
--------
Adlington Hall is on the site of a hunting lodge which predates the Norman Conquest. Two huge oak tree, still rooted in the ground, remain from the lodge and can be seen in the Great Hall. At the Conquest the lodge came in to the possession of Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. In the early 13th century the hall was granted to the de Coruna family who held it for four generations before running out of male heirs. Eleanor the daughter of Sir William de Baggilegh was the heiress (see the addtions and corrections in Ormerod's History of Cheshire). She married John de Legh of Booths and their son, Robert de Legh eventually succeeded to the hall and estate. The hall has remained in the same family ever since, albeit with succession through the female line at the 18th century, in 1888 when it went through two females, in 1940, and again in 1992.

For this service, he was personally thanked in a letter by Henry VIII, written from Windsor Castle and dated 27th of November. Sir William was a gallant knight in the reign of Henry III, and displayed great bravery. A monument stands yet today at his grave at Sefton Church with a eulogistic Latin inscription to his memory. He was knighted at Flodden Field in 1513 and given a tiger passant proper on a crown or, for his crest.

On his return, he died at Canterbury, where he was entombed, on which is the inscription:
"Miles honorificus Molyneux subject intus;

              IMFA 1.1.1-2; Molineaux; Molyneuax; this family came from Molineaux- sur-Seine, not far from Roen celebrated for the ruins of an ancient fortress popularly called the Castle of Robert le Diable, which was destroyed iby John Sans-Terre, but rebuilt in 1378 by descended from William de Molineaux, Lord of Sefton, County Lancashire, one of the followers of William the Conqeror-Courthopis Debrett.

Captain William Molyneaux (Milins) appears to have been one of the most distinguished as well as from the Battle Abbey roll              wherein his name stands 18th in order as from the old Chronicles of the duchy, wherein he is set down and placed as a most              especial and chief man in nearness and singular credit with his royal master.

This collection involves two large landed families - the Constables of Everingham in Yorkshire and colateral lines of the Maxwell family in Scotland. In addition there are the papers of one small landed family - the Sherburnes of Stonyhurst, Lancashire. The Constables of Flamburgh and Everingham descended from Baron Nigell, son of Ivon, who had been given the palatinate and constableship of Chester by William the Conqueror; he was also lord of Flamburgh. His descendants assumed the name de Lacy until Robert de Lacy (d.1216) took the name of his office - Constable. One of his descendants, Sir Marmaduke Constable (1443-1518), and his four sons were with the duke of Norfolk at Flodden in 1513. Three sons were knighted. The eldest son, Sir Robert Constable (1478?-1537) was later executed for his part in the Lincolnshire uprisings and his lands, 51 manors in total, were forfeited. The Flamburgh estate was restored by Queen Elizabeth I to his grandson, but two generations later it was sold and the baronetcy became extinct. However, a colateral line survived in the second son, another Sir Marmaduke Constable (1480?-1545), whose active military and political career was rewarded by Henry VIII in the 1530s with five East Riding estates. He also acquired Drax Priory. His marriage to Barbara Sothill brought the estates of Everingham in Yorkshire and West Rasen in Lincolnshire into the Constable family. 1474 - 1540 Barbara Soothill 66 66 1450 - 1491 John Soothill 41 41 ~1390 Thomas Ingleby ~1395 Ellen Holm 1430 - 1494 John Soothill 64 64 1430 Jane Poucher 1400 John Poucher 1400 Agnes Ellis 1360 William Ellis 1443 - 1518 Sir Marmaduke II Constable 75 75 ~1418 - 1488 Sir Robert Constable 70 70 CONSTABLE, Sir Robert (1423-88): of Somersby, Lincs., and Flamborough, Yorks.

Geographical and Historical information from the year 1834.
"BEDALE, a small neat built market town, in the parish of its name, which is partly in the eastern division of Hang wapentake, and partly in the wapentake of Hallikeld, in the north riding, is 223 miles from London, 34 N.W. from York, 12 N. from Ripon, the like distance S. from Richmond, and 8 S.W. from Northallerton; situated on a little rivulet that discharges itself into the Swale, near Gaterby, and near to the Roman causeway, called Leeming Lane, leading from Richmond to Barnard Castle. The manufacture of linens and carpets is carried on here to a limited extent. The neighbouring country is noted for its breed of hunting and road horses; and the town derives considerable advantage, and no trifling degree of consequence, from the many seats of the nobility in the immediate neighbourhood; amongst these may be enumerated Hornby castle, the seat of His Grace the Duke of Leeds; Newton house, His Grace the Duke Cleveland; Bedale hall, Admiral Beresford; Constable Burton, Marmaduke Wyvill, Esq.; Thornton hall, Sir Edward Dodsworth, Bart.; Thorpe Perrow, Mark Millbank, Esq. &c.

The places of worship are the parish church, and chapels for methodists, baptists, & Roman catholics. The church, which is dedicated to St. Gregory, is a large and venerable structure, with a square embattled tower, surmounted with pinnacles of great strength. Within the church are several interesting monuments; amongst which is one to the memory of Sir Brian Fitzalan, lord lieutenant of Scotland, in the reign of Edward 1, who occupied a castle near the church, of which no traces remain. The living of Bedale is a rectory, in the gift alternately of Miss Peirse and Miles Stapleton, Esq., and incumbency of the Hon. & Rev. Thomas Monson. A free grammar school, of ancient foundation, is here; also two national schools, in which children of both sexes are instructed. The market day is Tuesday; the fairs are Easter Tuesday, Whit-Tuesday, and July 5th and 6th, for horned cattle, horses, sheep, leather and hardware; October 10th and 11th for cattle, hogs and leather; and the last Monday but one before Christmas day for horned cattle and sheep. By the parliamentary returns for 1821 the whole parish of Bedale contained 2,631 inhabitants, and in 1831, 2,707, of which last last number 1,266 were returned for the township.

Aiskew is a township and village, in that part of the parish of Bedale which is in the eastern division of Hang wapentake, about half a mile N.E. from Bedale. The township contains a chapel for Roman catholics, a free school with a small endowment, and a population of 586 inhabitants."

Hugh Le Scrope was great-grandson of Osbern Fitz Richard (or Fitz Scrope). ~1075 - >1105 Walter Le Scrope 30 30 ~1055 Simon Fitz Osbern le Scrope ~1025 - 1080 Osbern Fitz Richard le Scrope 55 55 He appears to have been old enough to have taken part in the early wars of his father during the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-66). Osbern was sheriff of Hereford, 1060. He assisted the castellan of Hereford in subduing the rebel Edric in 1067 while William the Conqueror and the greater part of his nobles were in Normandy. ~1057 William Fitz Osbern le Scrope ~1508 John Fitz Randolph ~1060 Turstin Fitz Osbern le Scrope ~0992 - >1067 Richard le Scrope 75 75 Richard Fitz Scrob (or Fitz Scrope, Scrope, Scrupe or Scrob) was the son of a Scrob (Le Scrob) of Normandy, France. He was a Norman knight who settled in Herefordshire and became a landowner in England when he was granted lands by King Edward the Confessor prior to the Conquest. He built Richard's Castle in about 1048-1050 (near Ludlow) in county Hereford, on the Welsh border and administered this part of the border region. He held various manors in Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Shropshire at the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), according to the Domesday book.

Richard's surname is said to be derived from the nickname "Le Scrob", or "the crab", given to him by jealous Saxons of Edward the Confessor's court. ~1510 Elizabeth Fitz Randolph ~1512 Alice Fitz Randolph ~1514 Mary Fitz Randolph ~1516 Dorothy Fitz Randolph ~1420 - 5 MAR 1473/74 John Fitz Randolph ~1389 - 1444 Ellen Rolleston 55 55 ~1380 - >1462 Sir Christopher Conyers 82 82 ~1420 Christopher Conyers ~1428 - 1485 Joan Conyers 57 57 ~1360 Thomas Rolleston ~1365 Beatrice Haulay ~1350 - 1395 John Conyers 45 45 ~1430 - 1490 William Conyers 60 60 ~1382 Robert Conyers ~1360 - 1394 Elizabeth De Aton 34 34 ~1414 Mary Eure ~1440 - 1476 Anne Bigod 36 36 ~1410 - 1462 Ralph Bigod 52 52 ~1460 - 1513 Christopher Conyers 53 53 ~1415 Anne de Greystoke ~1470 Anne Markenfield ~1440 Thomas Markenfield ~1440 Elena Conyers ~1430 Henry Pudsey ~1398 - JAN 1457/58 Sir Ralph Fitz Randolph Elizabeth ~1374 - 1405 Sir John Fitz Randolph 31 31 ~1345 - >1388 Sir Randolph Fitz John 43 43 ~1325 - <1369 John Fitz Ranulf 44 44 ~1325 Maud De Campania ~1300 - >1343 Ranulf Fitz Ralph 43 43 Isabel ~1260 - <1316 Ralph Fitz Ranulf 56 56 ~1275 Theophania De Lacelles ~1305 Ralph Fitz Ralph ~1245 Roger De Lacelles ~1230 - <1294 Ranulf Fitz Ranulf 64 64 Bertrama ~1262 Piers Fitz Ranulf ~1264 Henry Fitz Ranulf ~1266 Adam Fitz Ranulf ~1190 - 1252 Ranulf Fitz- Robert 62 62 *

        Addendum to Clarence Ratcliff's genealogy by Donald Ratcliff

Dr. A. Wayne Ratcliff, M.D. (50 N. Liberty Street #1, Delaware, OH 43015) has extended the Ratcliff line
backwards to the earliest known ancestor, Ivo de Tailbois.  He spent eleven years, made two trips to England, and
hired a professional genealogiest to secure this information.  Most of this information is taken from The Book of
the Ratcliffs, while generations 17-21 were taken from wills located at the courthouse in Preston, Lancashire. <1596 Isabel Gascoigne ~1619 - 1646 Mary Wyvill 27 27 ~1612 Grace Wyvill ~1614 Sir Christopher Wyvill ~1616 Isabel Wyvill ~1578 Barbara Anderson ~1575 Sir William Gascoigne Sources:

Exerpt from "HISTORY OF NEW LONDON" pp. 298 ... "His death being sudden and the result of accident, a jury was summoned, who gave their verdict, that "he came to his death by mistaking his way in a dark night, and falling from a clift of rocks."

Biography: From Savage's "Diet of the First Settlers of New England"
"Matthew Beckwith, New London 1652, Hartford 1658, then a Freeman, and had first lived there in 1639, removed to Vrandford, there in 1688 was one of the founders of the Church. Thence to Lyme there died
21 October 1680, aged 70, by a fall in a dark night down a ledge of rocks. See Rev. Mr. Bradstreet's journal in Genealogical Reg. IX.50 He had two daughters beside sons Matthew, John & Joseph. His widow married Samuel Buckland, and of the daughters, one married Benjamin Grant, the other Robert Gerard." There is no explanation for the disparity in the date of death, although most records agree that death occurred on December 13, 1681.

Beckwith, Matthew, fined 10 shillings for using ardents, 1639.

    excerpt:

    The following is a very brief outline of one of many Pryor jurists. Most of the material is offered courtesy of Northern Kentucky Heritage magazine.

    Born on April 1, 1825, in Henry County, KY, little William Samuel Pryor was certainly no April fool. He was to become Kentucky's most famous jurist of his life-time.

    Will's genealogy was easy to follow. It was almost a joke in the family. Nearly every male Pryor in his line was named Samuel. First, there were Robert and Betty (Green) Pryor. Robert was the exception. Then Robert's son Samuel Pryor in VA, 1693 to !760. Next came Samuel, II (1725-?). After that came Samuel, III (1762-1811) and Samuel, IV (1804-1833). (The Roman numerals are the author's for ease of explanation.)

    This line of the large Virginia family had moved west to Henry County, KY, when the fourth Samuel was born. Samuel, IV, was married to Ann (Nancy) Marshall Samuel, who came from several legal families. The Country's best known U.S. Supreme Court Justice, John Marshall was one of her cousins as well as the Clark family of lawyers, generals and explorers. Her brother was a judge as well.

Note: In 1754, at the age of 29, Oliver and his wife Ann Caldwell (a cousin of his) and his mother and two brothers, David and Alexander, came to America. Oliver and his wife settled in Greenbrier Virginia (now West Virginia). They had two sons there, Joseph and John. Some time after 1770, Oliver's wife died. Oliver remarried to a young woman, Isabella Cook; ( her family wasn't happy. Oliver was 50 years old at the time and she was 25.) Oliver and Isabella had 5 children. In 1797, Oliver and family packed up in Campbell County, Virginia and headed for Kentucky. They stopped for a time in Tennessee (according to oral family history). Oliver died (1798) in Tennessee and Isabella and her children continued to Logan County, Kentucky. Oliver's sons became well known in the area. they owned a tannery (Oliver was a tanner by trade), a gunpowder factory and a saddle factory in Russellville. the historical society has recently reopened the saddle shop as a visitor's center and museum.


    Story by Hugh Caldwell
    "This Oliver Caldwell, while in conversation there (Carlisle PA), showed me a copy of this document, which I was also permitted to copy. Besides this document, Mr. Oliver Caldwell showed me a richly engraved silver cup, with historic sketches engraved thereon. This cup had been handed down through fourteen generations from the first settlement in Scotland by the three ancient brothers.
    "First on this cup was seen a man drawing water from a well, representing the famous watering place near Toulon France, where they lived and were reared, the three brothers John, Alexander, and Oliver.
    "Next on the cup was seen three ships on the sea, tossed by high waves, representing the former sailor life of the three brothers while captains on the Mediterranean, and also representing the emigrant ships in which they had previously sailed from Lisbon, Spain to Scotland.
    "Next was engraved a fire burning on a hill signifying a beacon light and signal of danger. It was during one of the cruel persecutions in France that the Huguenots and other Protestants had to flee for their lives from the face of their cruel prosecutors and our fathers had to leave France and go to Scotland to find safety.
    Next was seen twenty men on horseback in armor representing the military service required by King James VI of Scotland, upon their settlement there.
    "On the bottom of the cup was engraved the name of the original owner, 'Alexander Cauldwell, Mt. Aud, France.
    Emigrated from Scotland to Ireland soon after King William's conquest of that place.

    CALDWELL
    This family is a very ancient one. It is said to be descended from Albigenses and Waldenses of the Piedmont section of Italy, who were driven into France by the Roman Catholic persecutions. Some of the Caldwells, who were living at Mount Arid near Toulon, France, earned the enmity of Frances I of France; and after his escape from imprisonment under Charles V of Germany; three Caldwells; brothers; John; Alexander; and Oliver emigrated to Scotland and there with the consent of James I, purchased the estate of a Bishop named Douglas, located on 'Solney Frith E'. It was proved that "the said brothers, John; Alexander; and Oliver, late of Mount Arid, "should have their estate known as Caldwell" on condition that when the King should require they should each send a son with twenty men of sound limb, to aid in the wars of the King.
    (Account of Elsie Chapline Pheby Cross, in Journal of American History).
    There is a cup, preserved as an heirloom, which represents a Chieftan and twenty mounted men, all armed, and a man drawing water from a well, with the words underneath, "Alexander of Cauldwell". It also shows a fire burning on a hill, over the words, "Mount Arid", and also a vessel surrounded by high waves, which the latter was inherited to commemorate the fact that their ancestors were in common in the Mediterranean, in the latter part of the fourteenth Century. (ID. Cross)
    Oliver Cromwell's grandmother was Ann Cauldwell, and Joseph, John, Alexander, Daniel, David and Andrew of Cauldwell, went with Cromwell to Ireland and in various capacities served with interest there, after his accession to the Protectorate. Upon the restoration of Charles II, a member of the family Immigrated to America.

    Following is a historical account of where the Caldwell name might have begun. Full credit is given to the author at the bottom of this account. I have not verified this for accuracy, nor have I connected the Caldwell's in this book to the Caldwell's mentioned below. Please direct any questions or comments to the author. It is kinda neat to read though!
    Before the name Caldwell came into existence, our ancestors were a part of two groups of people living in Italy who called themselves the Albigenses and Waldenses. Both of these groups were Protestant in their beliefs and are mentioned often in historical accounts. At this time (ie. early 1200's), those of Protestant belief were being subjected to heavy persecution by the Roman Catholic Church. Eventually, because of these persecutions, they were forced over the mountainous border that seperates Italy from France and settled in a small village called Toulon, near the foot of Mt. Aud (also called Mt. Arid in some accounts). It was here that three brothers, John, Alexander, and Oliver, were born.
    They spent all of their boyhood days in Toulon, and as they became young men, began what became known as the Cold Well Estate. The estate itself gained its name from a much frequented and well known watering place located within its boundaries. As was customary during this time, the three brothers became known as John, Alexander and Oliver of Cold Well. Later, the "of" was dropped and they were referred to as the Cold Well Brothers.
    But persecution began to mount here in France under the reign of Francis the First, a Catholic sympathizer. Again, they were forced to leave their homes. This time they travelled by way of Lisbon, Spain to an eventual new home in Scotland. It is from this start of the Caldwell name that all Caldwell's, both in Europe and America, appear to be descendant. This portion of their lives is dealt with in more detail later in this sketch.
    The above account seems to suggest that the Caldwell name had its beginning in France. However two independant research firms (Halberts, in Bath Ohio and the Historical Research Center, Inc. headquartered in Deerfield Beach Florida) indicate that the name seems to be original to Scotland. Additionally, if Cold Well had been added as a surname in France, one would reasonably expect that it would have remained in the French form (ie. using French words for cold well, not english). This same account itself, which above seems to suggest a French origin, refers later in this narrative to the beginning of the Caldwell family on an estate in Scotland, not France (see below). Finally, a close reading of the above will show that it does not require the conclusion that the estate was actually in France. I believe the three brothers grew up in France, but established their estate (and thereby gained their surname) in Scotland).
    Next Michael wrote about the story by Hugh Caldwell above.
    The three brothers were originally and apparantly aligned with the Barbarossa brothers, generally considered pirates of much note at that time. The Barbarossa's were of Algerian birth and became the dominent power in the Mediterrranean for 20 or more years after driving the Spanish from Algeria. The name "Barbarossa is a European one meaning "red beard" which the leader of these brothers (Khaii-Din by his Algerian name who died in 1546) apparantly had (The Encyclopedia Britannica). The term Barbary pirates will, no doubt, be familiar to many readers of this story. None-the-less, these pirates were themselves defeated by the Governor of Aran when he made a massive effort to end the dominance of the Barbaross's. John, Alexander, and Oliver escaped without being captured by the Aranian Governor and returned to Toulon for a short time.
    The three brothers, however, soon put their years of experience on the sea to good use and amassed a naval fleet of their own, one rivaling the defeated Barbarossa's in force. Now, however, Spanish Merchants hired John, Alexander and Oliver to do away with the remaining pirates on the Mediterranean. Though hired by the Spanish, King Francis I of France was so pleased with their success, that he rewarded the brothers, as well, to the tune of $20,000 a substantial sum of money in that day.
    They then determined from that time forward to abandon the high seas and return to their home in Mt. Aud, France. But on their return there, they found France now in a state of turmoil as a result of the persecutions suffered by the Huguenots and Piedmonts, as the Protestants in France were called. They, being protestant themselves, returned at once to Spain.
    From Spain, they took a merchant ship bound for the coast of Scotland. They landed at a place called Solway Firth. And finding the country in peace under the Protestant reign of King James VI (approx. 1543-1566, he then became King James I, King of England 1566-1625), they determined to settle there. After finding a large land holder, he being a welthy bishop of the place, they purchased from him a large estate and sent back to their native land for other relatives and friends and in a few years became numerous and prosperous. But, in order to acquire full title to this land, it was necessary that they should gain the consent and signature of the King to their purchase. This they did. But the King, upon signing their titles, imposed the following condition; That the three brothers should, when the King required it, each send a son with a troop of twenty men to aid in the wars of the King. And these should be men of sound mind and able bodies, fit for service.
    Thus we find our forefathers peacefully settled in Scotland, under the most favorable circumstances in life, both in wealth and in talent. Shortly thereafter, part of the family migrated across the Highlands of Scotland. It was nearly one hundred years to the time of Oliver Cromwell (who will be discussedd later in this report) that they went northward from Solway Firth, through Scotland, mingling with these people as they traveled.
    The people of Scotland were adherents of John Knox, the Scotch reformer and many of them became part of his "Presbyterian" belief. They were among the converters of Scotland and the seceders of Ireland and, through several generations in Scotland they became Scotish Highlanders. Passing over the highlands of Scotland into the north of Ireland, they became Scotch-Irish. They, however, never mingled with the native Irish of Ireland. The Irish were of the Celtic race and had inhabited the island from time immemorial and were converted to the Roman Catholic faith by St. Patrick. But in the north of Ireland were Picts and Scots who were converted Protestants and Presbyterians and the two races were ever at antipathy with each other, socially and religiously. Consequently, they were always a seperate and distinct people and have kept it so.
    Some of these ancestors of ours lived in the North of Ireland, near a lake called Yon. The great-grandfather of the original writer of part of this report (Thomas H. Caldwell) brought with him from that lake, a resin hone made from hickory wood which was formed into stone, by the action of the lake, which petrifies wood into stone in seven years. The lake contains a very fine emery sand which enters into the pores of the wood and petrifies it. This relic he brought to America with him and it was handed down until it came into possession of R. A. Caldwell, brother of Thomas H. Caldwell. But it was lost during the Civil War of 1861. "This Hone was greatly prized and greatly lamented when lost."
    From the north, they migrated to the south of Ireland, through Wales and from thence to America.
    Severel well known historical figures play an important role in our history. Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), Protector of England from 1653 to 1658, was of our family through his grandmother, Ann of Cauldwell. He brought over from Scotland a large host of his kindred of the Cauldwell family and gave them positions of honor and trust during his lease of power at the head of the English nation.
    From the north of Ireland, one of the young men who retained the old family name from which he had descended, Alexander Caldwell, emigrated south in the days of Cromwell and joined the "Friends" under Cromwell with other Caldwell families in their schemes of ambition in attaining places of honor and trust under the government of the Cromwell's.
    But after Cromwell's death and the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II of England (1630-1685), they were banished, and this portion of the family also fled to America, forming colonies, one in Virginia, one in New Jersey, one in New York, and one in Philadelphia. One Family Historian writes:
    Joseph, John, Andrew, and David of Cauldwell, went with Oliver Cromwell to Ireland, of which he was Lord Governor, after he was promoted to the Protectorship of England. They remained in his interest in Ireland, until the restoration of the crown under Charles II, when John, David and Andrew fled to America. Joseph died in Ireland, Daniel continued there; but several of his children emigrated to America and helped form colonies at James River, Rhode Island and Philadelphia.
    Before immigrating, however, he (Alexander) confided to a family relative who had come from the old estate of Solway Firth, of the defeat of the Caldwell family and determined to make her his bride. Her name was Mary of Cauldwell, a distinct relative but too distant to form a barrier to a closer union. After a short aquaintance and a shorter courtship, they were married in Wales and the family emigrated to America with one brother of the groom (David) and two brothers of the bride, John and Andrew, both young men. They landed at Philadelphia and formed a colony, but poverty had overtaken the Caldwell family at the time of their emigration to America and instead of the wealth and honor with which they were surrounded in the palmy days of the Cromwell's they had now become exiles and had been hunted throughout England for their lives, which made it necessary for them to go into self-banishment for personal safety. These were dark days for the Caldwell families, and they had to sell themselves to the ship master to gain their passage over to America. The ship master in turn had to hire them out to service in Philadelphia to such as he could find, to pay their passage. This service, however, they accomplished with faithfullness and hearty good will, without a murmur, and when accomplished were glad to call themselves "Free men of America." And this freedom they ever afterwards maintained at the point of the sword and the mouth of the cannon and when kings and tyrants from the "mother country" sent armies to America to again subject them to vassalage, their breasts were bare to the conflict and, like Cromwell, their relative and preceptor, their war cry was "down with the tyrant." They fought through the war of the revolution in the cause of liberty.
    So we learn that the Caldwell families from the old estate in Scotland, known as the Cauldwell Estate, are numerous in America. Not only was Oliver Cromwell and many other members of the Revolution in England (of which he was head and leader) members of our family, but also Queen Elizabeth of England (1558-1603) is of the same family. Thomas H. Caldwell tells us that his mother, Mrs. Elenor Caldwell once had in her possesion a gold chain that belonged to Queen Elizabeth, and had been handed down through many generations but was lost during Mrs. Caldwell's lifetime. She was much grieved over the circumstance, of course. Our ancestors were descendants of Alexander Cauldwell; Oliver Cromwell, a descendant of Oliver, the younger brother; and John Caldwell Calhoun of South Carolina from the eldest brother John.
    Although our friends at the time of landing in Scotland were probably not religious, yet being raised up by Protestant parentage gave them partiality to that form of doctrine and church policy taught by John Knox, the great Scotish reformer. And settling among the Scottish people, a people preeminently religious and of the strictest order of faith, Presbyterianism, they were not long in falling in with the sentiments and religious views of their new neighbors. They no doubt also found their future partners for life among the daughters of that clime, reared and brought up within the pale of the church and deeply imbued with the principles and doctrines of the Presbyterian church. Thus the new generations became so thoroughly Presbyterian that in successive ages they have shown their attachment to the Presbyterian all their settlements, wherever they have gone. And ministers of the gospel, elders, deacons and numerous church members have been among their latest descendants.
    Our forefathers personally were men of stately mien and large physique and possessed of bright, open, and iteeligent countenances; were of dark skin, deep pentrating eyes, high rolling smooth foreheads, were affable and genial in their own manners, friendly and accomodating in their disposition and were disposed to be talkative and generous to a fault. Although naturally dark complexion, in mingling with the "blue-eyed belles of Scotland" through thirteen generations, the younger generations have shown many instances of the fair hair and blue eyes of the mother's family. Thus the blue eyes and the black eyes appear in almost every family.
    NOTE:
    Michael has several differing accounts of this narrative in his possesion and after having completed historical research has combined them forming the most accurate account he could determine in the process.
    The following is a quote from the first redition of this story which came into his possession:
    The information contained in the [above] historical sketch of the Caldwell family is based, in part, upon the memory and records which certains members of the family had many years ago. These records and histories were handed down and eventually came into the hands of John Caldwell Calhoun. He had them in his possession the remainder of his life. Then in 1852, after his death, E. N. Rogers of Franklin, Tennessee (another relative) transmitted these records and documents to the Tennessee Nashville Banner for publication, and for the first time, these records were made public. A copy of the paper found its way to Montgomery City, Montgomery County, Missouri, and to Mr. J. Caldwell of Mongomery City. He in turn loaned them to Newton Gamble Caldwell who loaned a copy to Thomas H. Caldwell. From this paper, Thomas H. Caldwell, wrote an historical sketch of the Caldwell family."
    A somewhat different version of this account is also on microfilm at the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That version is very detailed and includes significant reference to historical events of the same time period. Additional historical research has been conducted by Michel and the three sources combined to form this current narrative.

Augustine Austin Akers (Blackburn, William, William, William, William) was born about 1763 in Buckingham Co., Virginia (1, 3, 5, 6) and died about 1845 in Montgomery Co., Virginia (1, 3). On 7 September 1780 at the Chesterfield Co., Virginia Courthouse he entered the Revolutionary Army for a period of 18 months (1: Mentions Chestervield Co., Virginia Enlistment Rolls and Virginia Gazette), but in the Virginia Gazette on 18 November 1780 Brigadier General P. Muhlenburg advertised that Cpl. Valentine Akers and Augustine Akers had deserted camp (1). He married Rhoda Thompson on 9 February 1785 in Montgomery Co., Virginia by Richard Whitt (1: mentions Therese A. Fisher, Ed., "New River Valley (VA) Marriages, Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1991, 3). She was born 23 October 1765 (3). Earl Akers lists the same date 23 October, but in 1767 and lists a Diary of Archibald Thompson as his source. Perhaps this was a blood relation to his wife? Further research needed. Rhoda Thompson died in Montgomery Co., Virginia (3).

Blackburn Akers, Sr. (William, William, William) was born about 1731 - 1740 (1, 4) possibly in Albemarle Co., Virginia (5, 6) or Montgomery Co., Virginia (3) and died about 1786 - 1799 in Montgomery Co., Virginia (1, 4). Sources 1, 2, 3,  all state he died about 1786 in Montgomery Co., Virginia (1, 2, 3), but data has also been seen for 1797 in Montgomery Co., Virginia (5, 6). Earl B.Akers, Sr. listed a Military date of March 31, 1781 in Montgomery Co., Virginia (1). It is possible he may have served in Revolution and may have filed or received a pension on this date. Several Miscellaneous (Misc 1 - 11 in Notes section) dates were included with Earl B. Akers' correspondence before he died. They are listed in the notes section. It is unknown what they pretain to, but further research into Montgomery Co., Virginia records may prove fruitful in their discovery. For each of the miscellaneous dates he has "Montgomery Co., Virginia - The First Hundred Years" by Judge C. W. Crush as his source. I have been thusfar unable to obtain a copy to look at this source and it may provide the answer to what these dates pretain to. However, it is my belief that they pretain to either Land or Court records as there are several listed in the notes from him but no dates were given. He married Susannah Blackburn in about 1755 in Virginia (5,6), daughter of John Blackburn and Elizabeth (MNU). Note Earl B. Akers, Sr. has her only as ? Blackburn (1). She was born about 1730 in Virginia (5,6) and died about 1785 in Virginia (5,6).

21. Rhoda Akers 1758 - ~1834 John B. Akers 76 76 John B. Akers (Blackburn, William, William, William) was born about 1758 in Buckingham Co., Virginia (1, 5). The Church of Jesus Christ Latterday saints has birth as 21 March 1758 in Buckingham Co., Virginia (6), Sonia Kinback reported same date but in Franklin Co., Virginia (3). He died about 1834 in Franklin Co., Virginia (1), note source 5 and 6 state death occurred after 1834 in Franklin Co., Virginia (5, 6). In 1832, John B. Akers applied for a Revolutionary War Pension (1). He married Anne Jefferies 21 March 1785 in Buckingham Co., Virginia (1: mentions Campbell Co., Virginia Marriage Records, 3). Abner Lee was the surety on marriage bond found in Birmingham Co., Virginia (1). She was of age at the time of the Marriage bond as it states she was "of age" (1), sources point to possible birth between 1760 (5) and 1764 (1). She died before or about 1833 possibly in Virginia (1, 5).

This is only estimated death date, but we know from census records that he died between 1830 and 1840 as his wife is listed as head of the house in 1840 (see notes).  In 1777 Montgomery Co., Virginia he was Sworn to the State in Captain McCorkle's militia company (1: Mentions Montgomery Co., Virginia - The First Hundred Years by Judge C. W. Crush). On 7 September 1780 at the Chesterfield Co., Virginia Courthouse he entered the Revolutionary Army for a period of 18 months (1: Mentions Chestervield Co., Virginia Enlistment Rolls and Virginia Gazette), but in the Virginia Gazette on 18 November 1780 Brigadier General P. Muhlenburg advertised that Cpl. Valentine Akers and Augustine Akers (probably his brother) had deserted camp (1). He married Frances Branham in Virginia (1) some sources state this occurred about 1784 (5, 6), the daughter of David Branham and Frances Baskett. Her surname is sometimes confused with that of her mother, listing her as Frances Baskett instead of Branham (6), but research has shown that Branham is the correct surname. She was born 3 February 1770 in Virginia (1, 2, 3, 9 p 8), but some sources list her birth as about 1765 (5, 6) and died about 1850 in Floyd Co., Kentucky (1, 9 p 8). It is probable that she died between 1840 and 1850 in Floyd Co., Kentucky as she cannot be found in any household in the 1850 census either as the head or listed in one of her children's houses (see notes).

William Akers, II (William) was born before 1683 in Virginia (1) and died before 1751 (1). He married Ann (MNU) before April 10, 1706 (1). Source 5 states about 1698 in Virginia for the marriage date (5). She was born about 1675 in Virginia (4, 5).

Notes:
"William Akers II is the son mentioned in the will of William I, where he was prohibited from inheriting land until he had legitimate offspring. He was married to Anne and was dead by 1751"(1).

Birth date constructed based on the fact William witnessed the will of John Bougham on 2 Jan 1697 and of Alexander Durham on 8 Jan 1697. Minimum age for witnesses at that time was fourteen years. (1)

William Akers III signed an affiavit in 1751 in Cumberland Co. VA stating that his grandfather, William I, and his father, William II, were deceased. Therefore William Akers, II died before 1751. (1)

98 acres of inherited land on main swamp of Piscataway Creek to James Bougham, Jr., for 2000 pounds tobacco. Adjoins Acres  (Akers') Spring Branch and Brown's Swamp.Recorded in Essex Co. VA Deed book 10, page 216-217. Ann's name from Dower rights relinquished and recorded 10 April 1706 in conjunction with sale of 98 acres on Piscataway Swamp to James Bougham, Jr. This also proves that the marriage occurred before April 10, 1706 and they had at least one legitimate heir as William Akers, II was not able to claim his inherited land until he had one as stated in his father's will.

Children:
4. i. William Akers, III ~1675 Ann ~1640 - ~1702 William I Akers 62 62      1. William Akers, Sr. was born before 1645 in England (1), Source 5 states about 1640 for birth (5), and died about February 1701/02 in Essex Co., Virginia (1), Source 4 states about August 1702 in Essex Co., Virginia (4). He married Katherine (MNU) in Virginia (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). She was born before February 1657/58 (1), source 4 has her birth as about 1650 (4) and source 5 has her birth between 1650 and 1658 (5). She died before February 1701/02 (1) as she is not listed in his will.

Notes:
William Akers, Sr.'s "wife was Katherine who preceded him in death. He died in 1702 after Rappahannock Co VA was split into Richmond Co and Essex Co. Besides William II he and Katherine had a daughter Ann"(1).

"In Feb. 1665 he received a land grant of 595 acres from Governor Berkely in  Rappahannock Co. VA  for transporting twelve persons to the colony. This would indicate his birth date was probably before 1645, probably in England" (1)

"Will was probated in the Essex Co VA court on 10 Aug 1702 and recorded in Will Book 10 on page 118. Named in the will are son William, daughter Anne (Smith) and granddaughter Elizabeth Smith. The will was witnessed by Hannah Ratliff, Jno Lamore and Jame Boughan and proven by the latter two" (1). - Will of William Akers written: 24 February 1702, probated 10 August 1702.

The name spelled Fotheringham was common in Forfarshire, Scotland, before 1300, at the very beginning of the use of surnames. In the ancient History of Scotland by John Lesley, vol. i., p. vi., the family of Fodringhame together with Crychton, Giffert, Manlis, Borthik "and others" are said to have come from Wugre (Hungary) under Malcolm, King of Scotland, with his wife Queen Margaret. But Hailes raised a doubt of the accuracy of the statement. Indeed, it seems that the final syllable indicates a local origin of Fotheringham, though the surname may have been a place name taken by a Hungarian noble after the custom of the time, eventually becoming the family name. William Frothingham came from England in Winthrop's fleet, and was one of the proprietors of Charlestown, Massachusetts, in 1630. He was admitted a freeman, March 6, 1631-32. With his wife Anne he was admitted to the church in Boston in 1630 and joined the new church at Charlestown in 1632. He was an adherent of Rev. John Wheelwright who founded Exeter, brother of the celebrated Mrs. Hutchinson, but Frothingham finally renounced his beliefs and remained in the established church of the Puritans at Charlestown. His wife Anne died July 28, 1674, aged sixty-seven years (see gravestone). He had a grant of land from the town on the Mystic side (Woburn) of ten acres. His house and four acres of land were bounded on the north by the Mystic river, east by homesteads of George Bunker and Thomas Ruck; west by E. Mellows and Abraham Pratt. He had eight other parcels of land on record. His will is dated September 31, 1651, and was proved February 6, 1652. The document itself has been in the possession of the family many years, though the records show that it was proved properly. He bequeathed his property to his wife, and the inventory places a value of fifty pounds on his house and orchard. His widow bought a house and land in Charlestown in 1656 of Grace Palmer. Her will, dated October 4, 1672, was proved October 6, 1674, bequeathing to her sons Samuel, J. Kettell, Peter and Nathaniel Frothingham, and Thomas White, who received her house orchard and barn. Children, born in Charlestown: Bethia, born February 7, 1631; John, August 10, 1633; Elizabeth, March 15, 1635; Peter, April 15, 1636; Mary, April 1, 1638; Nathaniel, mentioned below; Stephen, November 11, 1641; Hannah, March 29, 1642; Joseph, December 1, 1645; Samuel.

He wasTransported by Oliver Spry.Patent book 1, part 2, page 487 shows an Oliver Sprye who received 300 acres in Upper Norfolk Co VA on 24 October 1637 for transporting six persons from England, by court order on 6 June 1635: "James Hicks, John Longworthy, Tho. Bush, John Dawson, George Wilcock, John Cherry," by order of the court on 6 June 1635.


Based on records of Norfolk Co. Va., as examined by Rubicam in the originals, in Norfolk Co.; Wills as published; N.C. Wills and other sources mentioned; and research in Va. State Library by Mrs. Nellie P. Waldenmaier, in Vestry Book of Elizabeth River Parish and elsewhere. JOHN CHERRY the earliest mentioned in Va. records, is named in the following Patent, in Patent Book No. 1, Part 2, p. 487: Oliver Sprye, 300 acres in Upper County of New Norfolk, 24 Oct., 1637. Being called by the name of the Thickett, beginning, upon land of Mr. Daniel Gookins, S.W. along the maine river, N.W. into the woods and S.E. upon the river. Due by order of Ct. 6 June, 1635, & alsoe due for transportation of 6 persons; James Hicks, John Longworthy, Tho. Bush, John Dawson, Goerg Wilcock, John Cherry. Thus did John Cherry reach Upper Norfolk Co. Va. in 1635. He was probably young, and working out the cost of his transportation. John Cherry Sr. and William Maund witnessed the will of W. H. Whelten, in Lower Norfolk Co. 13 Sept. 1690 and witnessed the will of Joseph Miller, Sr. of same locality 4 Jan. 1689. Both testified at the proofs of these wills 13 Sept. 1693. John Cherry made his will in Norfolk Co. 12 Jan. 16[98/9] which was proved 18 July 16[99]. Recorded in Book of Deeds No. 6, p. 130, but in a fragmentary condition. He may have been a son of John and Frances in the English line, and was certainly father of JOHN CHERRY, Jr. The Norfolk Co. records show an assignment, 6 May, 1699 from (???) Etheridge and Ann his wife to John Cherry. John purchased 14 Feb. 1731, of Lemuel Powell and wife Sarah, for œ 8.0, 100 acres on the Southern Branch of Elizabeth River, Norfolk Co. Va. As John Cherry, Jr., cooper, he bought, 25 Feb. 1732, of William Mercer and wife Elizabeth, 50 acres on west side of the Southern Branch. On 13 Feb. 1747, he purchased of John Biggs and wife Sarah, for œ25, 100 acres on Biggs' Creek, east side of Southern Branch. This was witnessed by Solomon Cherry. Pursuant to an Order of Norfolk County Court bearing date the day of November 1751, the Vestry of Elizabeth River Parish met and appointed the several Persons to "Procession" in the several Precincts. Lott Maund & Jno. Cherry, son of Jno. Cherry, from Sugg's Millhead to New Mill Creek. (Vestry Book of Elizabeth River Parish). Processioners were always men of established standing, and more often past middle life. It appears that the above are direct ancestors of the following. The names in the 1790 Census and in the Norfolk Co. records show the following Cherrys, and the number of them, which indicates a large and undoubtedly related family; Benjamin, 3; Bryan, 8; Charles, 6; Faithful, 2; Jean, 5; Joseph, 3; John,13; Luke,2; Matthew,5; Paul,8; Samuel,3; Theophilus, 6; Thomas,18; these all on the Western Branch of Elizabeth River. 1625 Elizabeth Faithful 1643 Edward Cherry 1648 Elizabeth Cherry ~1650 Solomon Cherry ~1652 Sarah Cherry ~1654 William Cherry ~1656 Thomas Cherry 1658 Joseph Cherry 1660 Martha Cherry 1662 Faithful Cherry 1 JAN 1593/94 - 1657 Thomas Cherry THOMAS CHERRY of Maidenhead and Bray, 2d son and heir, bap. 1 Jan. 1596/7. He m. in 1621, Ellen, sole dau. of Richard Powney, lessee of the Manor of Old Windsor. She was b. 1598. They were both bu. 20 Sept. 1657. On a gravestone in the churchyard of Bray is the inscription, "Heere Lye interred the bodies of Thomas Cherry of Maydenhead, in this parish who died 14th Sept. 1657, Anno Aetalis 61. And of Ellen his wife, who died 19th Sept. 1657, Anno Aetalis 59. They lived together in wedlock 35 yeares, and had 8 sons and one Daughter, and were both interred here in one grave Sept. 20, 1657". Only 4 of their children are given in the pedigree: Arthur, of Cassington. *John, the elder, Richard of Maidenhead and Bray.

John and Mary O'Neal lived in Culpeper Co., VA in 1750 when their daughter, Anna, Was born. In 1755 they migrated to Orange Co., NC with many friends and relatives including: O'Neals, Albrights, Holts, allens, Murrays, Griders, and many others. In addition to Anna, They had at least three sons: William Powell, Robert and Elias Powell, Jr., who was named for his father's brother and was named junior to distinguish between uncle and nephew.

1816 Isabella Cook 66 66 1715 - 1766 Alexander Caldwell 51 51 Alexander was born, according to some family histories, near Loung Neagh or Lake Yoh in Northern Ireland. Family stories have reported Alexander's date of birth as early as 1690 and as late as 1723. The date of 1723, I believe was based on the fact that son Robert was born in 1747. His family believed Robert was the oldest child and backed into Alexander's date of birth based on Robert's age. It was known that son William's children intermarried with his brother Alexander's and other histories connected the children through other stories. The children were believed to be Robert, born 1747; William 1750; Alexander 1752; and John 1754. Currently, stories and other records make it clear that son William was born 1730-1740, as his son Robert was born in 1757. Alexander is said to have gone to Wales to visit his cousins and there married his cousin Mary Colwell (Cauldwell). They had little money, but wanted to go to America, so they bonded themselves to a ship's captain for a term of servitude. Alexander was able to pay off his debt within a year, and then worked a little longer to help Mary pay off her portion. They bought land about 6 miles North of Philadelphia. I had found records where Alexander was born in 1690 and died in 1766. This information seemed more believable, until I recently found records of another Alexander who was born in New Hampshire in 1690 and died in January of 1766 in Connecticut. Th is seems too coincidental, and I believe that someone has picked up these dates and passed them along as our Alexander. At this point, it appears that Alexander and Mary may have married closer to 1727-1735. They were said to be friends of William Penn, and I must assume this was the grandson of William Penn the founder of Pennsylvania. William, the grandson, was born in Ireland in 1703 and inherited his grandfather's estate after his older brother died without issue. As Alexander and Mary were said to have come to America after their marriage, I must assume all of their children were born in Pennsylvania. They may have come to America as early as 1727, at the time when a John Caldwell is said to have come to America. They may have had several daughters before their sons were born, but there are no records available or information passed down on the daughters. At some point, the family moved to Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. Alexander died there, but his body was taken to the old family site near Philadelphia for burial according to various family histories. At this point, I'm not sure if Alexander actually died in 1766 or if this was a date picked up from the other Alexander. It is hard to know what stories are based on fact and what are from people related stories they have found on other Alexander's. As most of the children began to move to Kentucky around 1784, I believe Alexander may have died before that time.

Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 2nd ed., 1885, Butler Co.
SAMUEL J. CALDWELL, Butler County, was born March 12 1840, in this county, and is the son of James and Martha (Ried) Caldwell. The former was a native of this county; was born March 10, 1810; he was a wealthy farmer, and died in 1845. His father was George W. Caldwell, a native of Virginia, and who in early youth came to Logan County, now Butler, where he died about 1837. He was the son of Oliver Caldwell, who came from Scotland, and lived and died in Virginia. The father of subject, James Caldwell, married Martha Ried, a daughter of Cunningham and Peggy (Ewing) Ried, of Butler County. To them were born George W., William C., Samuel J., Daniel C., and Mary m. (Mansfield). Samuel J. was brought up on a farm, and received but a limited education. He was married January 15, 1863, to Margaret R., daughter of William and Margaret (Wright) Caldwell. She was born September 30, 1839, and died December 3, 1872. This union was blessed with the birth of the following children: James W., Margaret L., and Lille B. A coincidence in the history of this branch of the Caldwell family is the fact that subject, his wife, both their parents and their children were born and reared in the same house, and the homestead of the grandfather still remains in possession of the family. Mr. Caldwell is a man temperate in all his habits, industrious and economical. He owns 1,061 acres of improved land. His dwelling is one of the finest and best in the county, and his barns and other buildings are excellent; he has six barns, one of which is 161X50 feet, and twenty feet high to the eaves. He has also fifty acres in fruit, 200 pear trees and other varieties of fine fruit. He owns nearly 100 horses and mules, and fifty head of cattle. He deals in tobacco, and frequently has on hand at one time 400,000 pounds of the leaf. He is a member of the Masonic order, and in politics a Democrat. 1807 John Caldwell 1820 William Caldwell 1815 - 1896 Martha Cunningham Reid 80 80 1840 Samuel J. Caldwell SAMUEL J.

John died 13 Dec 1667, Watertown, Middlesex, MA.{6} John Warren came to New England from Nayland, Suffolk, England, with the fleet of Sir Richard Saltonstall. [4/462] The fleet arrived at Salem June 12,1630. John Warren traveled with Governor Winthrop aboard the "Arabella".[9] From Salem, he with the rest of the company went to Charlestown, whence, after a brief stay they moved to Watertown.[2/252] John Warren settled in Watertown, Massachusetts at age 45. He was admitted as a freeman on May 18,1631; and was Selectman from 1636 to 1640 [1/619-620] which was a position of high regard. In 1635, he and Abraham Browne were appointed to lay out all highways, and to see that they were repaired.[1/619-620,7]
..... However, he does seem to have lost some favor with the authorities sometime thereafter as can be seen from the old records.[8] He sympathized with the Quakers, and was at odds with the Puritan Church.[2/130] In October 1651, he and Thomas Arnold, were each fined 20 shillings for an offence against the laws concerning baptism. On April 4, 1654, he was fined, for neglect of public worship, 14 Sabbaths, each 5 shillings = 3 pounds, 10 shillings. On March 14, 1658/59, he was to be warned for not attending public worship; but "old Warren is to be found in town". On May 27, 1661, the houses of "old Warren and goodman Hammond", were ordered to be searched for Quakers. [1/619-620] He appears to have agreed in religious sentiments with Dr. John Clark, of Newport, Nathaniel Briscoe, Sr., who returned from Watertown to England, Thomas Arnold, who moved from Watertown to Providence, RI. They were probably all Baptists.[1/960] Despite his lack of conviction for the established church and his leanings toward the Quaker faith, John never gave up or lost his church membership. He may have kept his membership to avoid losing some privileges, such as voting, etc.[5/1975,1/619]
..... By the time the first inventory of grants and possessions was taken in Watertown in 1639, John had acquired 278 acres of land, including 1) a homestall of 12 acres bounded west with the highway, east by William Hammond, north by John Biscoe, and south by Isaac Stearns; 2) 9 acres of upland bounded south by John Biscoe, north by William Hammond, end east and west with his own land; 3) 3 acres of meadow bounded east by William Hammond, north by John Simson, and west with his own; 4) 13 acres of plowland in the further plain, lot 84; 5) thirteen of meadow in the remote meadows, lot 50; 6) 16 1/2 acres upland beyond the further plain, lot 19; 7) 60 acres of upland being a great Divident in the fourth division, lot 26; 8) a farm of 152 acres upland in the third division.[6/42-43] His homestall lot of 12 acres, in 1642, was bounded west by the highway, east by William Hammond, north by John Biscoe, south by Isaac Sterne. He, also, then owned 7 other lots, amounting to about 176 acres.[1/619-620] In the second inventory taken in 1644 the 152 acre farm had been dispose of, but John has been granted: 8) 1 1/2 acres of meadow in Wards Meadow bounded by Thomas Arnold; 9) 1 1/2 acres of meadow near the little plain adjoining to John Eddy; 10) 2 acres of marsh southeast with the river and the west by the backlane.[6/100] By the end of his life, John still owned 188 acres of land.[3/161]
..... His wife, Margaret, died November 6,1662, and he died December 13,1667, aged 82. [1/619- 620] John Warren's Will, dated November 30, proved December 17, 1667, mentions the following children, probably all born in England; John, Mary, Daniel, Elizabeth.[1/619-620] The Will gives to son Daniel the 16 acres of land he now lives on; to daughter Mary Bigelow, 16 acres of land in lieu of township, now in her possession; to daughter Elizabeth Knapp, 16 acres of plowland, now in possession of her husband, James Knapp. The residue to sons John and Daniel. [Prob. Rec.III.,p.345].[1/960] In his Will he gave his daughter Elizabeth a book titled "the playnes man path way to heaven". He also mentioned his sons Daniel and John, daughter-in-law Mary Warren, wife of Daniel, daughter Mary Bigelow, Elizabeth Knap, wife of James Knap, grand children Warren, Mary Bigelow, and Michal Bloyce, daughter of Richard Bloyce. The Will was witnessed by Joseph Taynter and John Randall.[7/60] Inventory of the estate was taken Dec.16, 1667 by John Coolidge, and Henry Freeman and amounted to 167.4.0.[7/62]

*******************************
Perley in his 'History of Salem' states that William Towne was the son of John and Elizabeth Towne of Yarmouth, and that he was baptized in the Saint Nicholas Parish Church there on March 18, 1598/9. William1 Towne and his wife remained at Yarmouth, and six children were born to them there, but in or about 1640 they emigrated to New England, and settled at Salem, Massachusetts. At Salem, on October 11, 1640, the town "Graunted to William Townde a little neck of land right over against his howse on the other side of the riuer to be sett out by the towne." In June and July, 1640, he had brought an action of debt against John Cook, at Salem.  He and Francis Nurse asked the town for a grant of land on March 20, 1647, and it was then ordered that the land be surveyed before a decision should be made as to granting it. In 1652 he removed to Topsfield, Massachusetts, where he purchased forty acres of land, and made further purchases in 1656. In 1652 he sold his land at Salem. He was listed among those to share in the common lands at Topsfield in 1661. In 1663 he gave his son, Joseph Towne, two-thirds of his property at Topsfield, reserving only a third share for himself. He died at Topsfield in 1673, and administration on his estate was granted to his widow, June 24, - 1673.  His widow died in or about 1682, and on January 17, 1682, the six children signed a petition for the settlement of her estate.

According to "The Four Blessing Sisters", by Walter Goodwin Davis, an article in the American Genealogists, Vol 33 pages 199 - 206; "Although William is first recorded at Salem in 1640, it is possible that the family emigrated a few years earlier, with the Buffums and the Firmages. The eldest son, Edmund, who was apprenticed to Henry Skerry in Great Yarmouth, sailed with his master in 1637, either on the Rose of Great Yarmouth, or the Henry and Dorothy of Ipswich, two vessels commanded by Wm. and William Andrews Jr., arriving in Boston in June. Skerry and his family settled in Salem."

- "Upon the east coast of England, 120 miles northeast from London is the old town of Yarmouth. Among its venerable buildings is St. Nicholas Church (founded A.D. 1123). In which on 25 March, 1620, William Towne and Joanna Blessing were m. They were the grandparents of John, the leading man in the English settlement at Oxford. Twenty years after this m. six of their ch. had been baptized in that Church and the family joined the emigrants to America. They resided first at "Northfields," Salem, removed 1652 to Topsfield, there they settled (History of Oxford - page 720) - 1637; Came to America on ship Rose from Great Yarmouth, leaving Ipswich and arriving 6/1637 with wife and 5 or 6 children. (Currents of Malice - McMillen)

- 4/18/1637; "Towne, William, gardiner, Salem, freeman 4/18/1637. (George Towne book)
- 5/1/1640; Plaintiff against Jonathan Cook, defendant in an action of debt, Jury found for the plaintiff "some to be deputed to measure John
Cook's land and what is remaining to make up Goodman Town's land and if it be fyve acres to pay Towne fyve marks and ___ is wanting of fyve acres to abate 13s, 4d. p. acre; and costs 4s, : 0 " (NEHGS, Vol. 21, p. 15) - 8/11/164 ~1594 - 1674 Joanna Blessing 80 80 - "The origin of the Blessing family is obscure. The name Blessing has not been found after considerable search in the Norfolk County (ENGLAND) records at Norwich, and as the name Jone is the only instance of the name in the Yarmouth register for the period 1558 - 1611, it is possible that she was a foreigner. A general search for the name Blessing in records covering all England has been unavailing, and families of the name Blessing in now living in the United States claim a German origin. A glance at the map of Europe will show that Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and just south of it, Ipswich in Suffolk (the ancestral home of the Estys), are directly opposite the Low Countries across the North Sea to the west.  Many emigrants from Germany and the Low Countries were attracted to Yarmouth by the herring fisheries in the sixteenth century." (Currents of Malice - McMillen)

- "Relations between the Gould family and the Townes and Estys had been strained ever since the quarrrel over their minister, the Reverend Mr. Gilbert, when Mary Esty's mother, old Joanna Towne, had supported him against the Goulds faction."(Currents of Malice - Persis W. McMillen)
- 1670; She deposed that she was 70 years old in this year. (Pope's Pioneers of MA)
- 4/24/1673; Administration granted to Joanna Towne of the estate of William Towne. She was to bring inventory to the next Ipswich court.

"Abraham Venables II, only surviving son of Abraham Venables I of New Kent Co., Va., was born on March 22, 1700, O.S. baptized . . . April 27, 1701, in St. Peters Parrish, New Kent Co., Va. 'He lived first on the Pamunky River in what was then New Kent Co., Va., afterwards King and Queen, which was cut off from New Kent in 1691, and later and at present, King William County, which was cut off from King and Queen County in 1701. Abraham Venables II moved from the Pamunky region and settled in what was then Goochland County, in the fork between the Rivanna and James Rivers. This region was cut off into Albemarle County in 1744 and in 1777 that end of Albemarle was formed into the present county of Fluvanna. The land on which the village of Columbia is situated is a portion of the original home tract of Abraham Venables II.' This is taken from the records of Abram B. Venable of 'Scott-Greene,' Price Edward County, Virginia, written about 1870. Abraham Venables II owned immense tracts of land in Hanover, Louisa, Goochland and Albemarle counties, on the Hardware River in South Garden and on 'Ye Byrd Creek.' He was prominent in the affairs of his country and church; justice of the peace of Hanover County before 1742; one of the first justices of Louisa County, December 24, 1742; after 1742, County Lieutenant of Louisa; Captain of the Colonial Militia, Louisa; Member of the Virginia House of Burgesses from Louisa for over twenty years, 1742-1751-1753-1755-1762, and other years. He was a vestryman of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Va., prior to 1742, of Trinity Parish 1762-68, and of Fredericksville Parish 1742-1761. He was a friend, political supporter and client of Patrick Henry.

4. From "The Venables of Virginia," by Elizabeth Marshall Venable, at pages 25-28:

"The 'Slate Hill' plantation was an extensive estate of twenty or thirty thousand acres, served by something like a hundred slaves. The house was a simple story and a half affair, the unostentatious dwelling of a pioneer in a new country -- for that is what Prince Edward County was when Nathaniel Venable came to live there -- though the spacious rooms, lofty ceilings, massive fireplaces, and extensive bookcases gave it an unmistakable charm.
"Nathaniel Venable seems to have taken a more active part in public affairs than any of his brothers. In the 'Life of Rev. Archibald Alexander, D.D.' by Dr. J. W. Alexander, p.128, we find the following reference to him:

" 'Three brothers were among the first settlers in Prince Edward. Nathaniel owned the place on which the Court House was built, and for a long time was an Elder in the church and represented the County in the Legislature. He was also an active trustee of Hampden-Sidney College.'

"Nathaniel Venable had been a member of the House of Burgesses prior to the Revolution and of the Virginia House of Delegates, 1766, 1769, 1776, and as indicated in this extract, was a member of the State Senate, 1780-82, after the change of state government.
"We find from Footes' 'Sketches of Virginia,' that Nathaniel Venable was one of the leading spirits among the founders and early supporters of Hampden-Sidney College. It may be said that the College had its birth in the library of his house. A special session of the Presbytery met at his residence, 'Slate Hill,' on the first day of February, 1775, for the purpose of taking measures to establish at once an Academy of Learning. A Board of Trustees was elected, consisting of twelve gentlemen, of whom Nathaniel Venable was one. At the same meeting he was appointed on a committee to draw plans for the necessary buildings, and to let out their construction. He was also appointed on a committee to survey and mark out the bounds of a hundred acres of land donated by Peter Johnstone (the grandfather of Gen. J. E. Johnstone), for the purposes of the Academy, and to secure title to the same. At the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Academy, of which there is any record, an order was passed allowing 'N. Venable and P. Carrington to build cabins for the use of their boys.' A few years after the inauguration of the Academy it encountered great difficulties in consequence of the state of the country resulting from the war, and it was thought for a time that it would have to be discontinued.

" 'The chief difficulty was in procuring provisions for the students and in securing some one to attend to its preparation. Nathaniel Venable and James Allen, Sr., came to the rescue, pledged themselves to furnish twelve months' provisions, and contracted with Mr. Young to act as Steward and furnish board at twenty pounds per student, per annum.'

"In 1783, Prince Edward Academy was chartered as a college by the legislature. Its Board of Trustees comprised of twenty-seven persons. The names of Nathaniel Venable, his brother, James, his eldest son, Samuel Woodson Venable, are found among the number. In the list we find the names of Patrick Henry, James Madison, Paul Carrington, Francis Watkins, John Morton, John Nash and others prominent in state and local history. In speaking of the name adopted for the college, the historian says:

" 'The names of such men as Morton, Venable, Nash, Watkins, Allen, Henry, Carrington, men honored for their patriotism and religion, sound well in conjunction with two patriots of England, Hampden and Sidney, whose names were early and significantly united to indicate the principles that should be taught there and to give it a name. (Footes "Sketches of Virginia" p.399)'

"Nathaniel Venable was an earnest patriot, one who contributed his utmost to the cause of the colonies.

" 'When Tarleton and Arnold invaded Virginia, a detachment passed through Prince Edward on a general plundering expedition. This they could do with impunity as all the able-bodied men were absent in the American Army. They visited 'Slate Hill' with the purpose of capturing Nathaniel Venable; but he escaped them, having received timely warning of their approach. They committed some robberies, destroyed some furniture, and one of their number, with a pistol pointed at the breast of Mrs. Venable, demanded that she reveal her husband's whereabouts, or he would shoot her down. Her calm reply was, 'Fire away! My husband has his country to defend!.' At this instance an officer intervened and ordered away the man who had offered the indignity, severely reprimanding him.'

"As evidence of the public spirit of Nathaniel Venable we quote the following:

" 'When the Government was greatly embarrassed on account of the condition of its finances, and Continental money had depreciated until it was denounced as worthless all over the country, and the people were almost in rebellion on that account, he advertised his faith in the Government by proclaiming his readiness to accept Continental money for all of his dues. Among the early recollections of this writer (Abraham B. Venable of 'Scott-Greene') is the memory of his seeing a large quantity of this money in an old chest in the 'office' in the yard at 'Slate Hill.'

"William M. Thornton, L.L.D., of the University of Virginia, in a Sketch of Charles Scott Venable, published in 1901, makes the following remarks:

" 'Col. Nathaniel Venable of 'Slate Hill', a roistering blade in early youth, but always a man of force and later a pious, strenuous life, was merchant, planter, member of the House of Burgesses, and later of the Legislature of Virginia, and was a Lieutenant of Prince Edward County . . . . Educated at William and Mary College, Williamsburg, he was a mathematician of some local renown, witness the clergyman who preached the sermon at his funeral and began the discourse by saying that 'his late friend had gone to the land where neither calumny nor praise could reach him; but it was simply due to the truth to state that he had been the best mathematician in Prince Edward County.' Always, in all things a strenuous, forceful, eager man, an Episcopalian at first, vestry-man of St. Patrick's Parrish in Prince Edwards County (the vestry book in his own hand writing is now at the Episcopal Seminary at Alexandria Virginia) and bearing on dissenters with a hard and, forbidding the Presbyterian clergymen to preach in the churches and the like, he later became a Republican, and, an even more zealous Presbyterian; tore down the Episcopal church at Kingsville; raised funds and built a Presbyterian church at Farmville; and as we have seen was the mainstay and founder of the college at Hampden-Sidney.' "

The "office" of Nathaniel Venable that stood in the yard at "Slate Hill," which was recalled by Abraham B. Venable in the excerpt quoted above, is now on the grounds of the campus at Hampden-Sydney near Farmville, Virginia. The building, first built in the 1750s, is on numerous historical registers.
Nathaniel Venable was undoubtedly a close acquaintance of John Witherspoon. Venable sent three sons to Princeton at a time when John Witherspon was travelling about Virginia to generate interest in Princeton among the southern states. It is said that Witherspoon suggested that Hampton Sidney be founded. We know for sure that his son-in-law, Samuel Stanhope Smith, was the first president of Hampton Sidney, and it is very likely Witherspoon made a number of trips to Prince Edward Coutny to visit his eldest child. A letter has been preserved fron Nathaniel's brother Abraham to Witherspoon relating details of the mariage of a mutual acquaintance.

HISTORY OF HAMDPEN-SYDNEY COLLEGE

Hampden-Sydney began as the southernmost representative o f the "Log College" form of higher education established b y the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians in America, whose academi c ideal was the University of Edinburgh, seat of the Scotti sh Enlightenment.

The first president, at the suggestion of Dr. Witherspoon , the Scottish president of the College of New Jersey (no w Princeton University), chose the name Hampden-Sydney to s ymbolize devotion to the principles of representative gover nment and full civil and religious freedom which John Hampd en (1594-1643) and Algernon Sydney (1622-1683) had outspoke nly supported, and for which they had given their lives, in

England's two great constitutional crises of the previous c entury. They were widely invoked as hero-martyrs by America n colonial patriots, and their names immediately associate d the College with the cause of independence championed b y James Madison, Patrick Henry, and other less well-known b ut equally vigorous patriots who composed the College's fir st Board of Trustees. Indeed, the original students eagerl y committed themselves to the revolutionary effort, organiz ed a militia-company, drilled regularly, and went off to th e defenses of Williamsburg, and of Petersburg, in 1777 an d 1778 respectively. Their uniform of hunting-shirts — dye d purple with the juice of pokeberries — and grey trouser s justifies the College's traditional colors, garnet and gr ey.

The College, first proposed in 1771, was formally organize d in February 1775, when the Presbytery of Hanover, meetin g at Nathaniel Venable's Slate Hill plantation (about two m iles south of the present campus), accepted a gift of one h undred acres for the College, elected Trustees (most of who m were Episcopalian), and named as Rector (later President ) the Rev. Samuel Stanhope Smith, valedictorian of the Prin ceton class of 1769, who had been actively promoting the id ea of establishing a college in the heavily Scotch-Irish ar ea of south-central Virginia since he began his ministry th ere in 1774. Within only ten months, Smith secured an adequ ate subscription of funds and an enrollment of 110 students . Intending to model the new college after his own alma mat er, he journeyed to Princeton to secure the founding facult y, which included his younger brother, John Blair Smith. O n that 1775 trip he also visited Philadelphia to enlist sup port and to purchase a library and scientific apparatus. St udents and faculty gathered for the opening of the first wi nter term on 10 November 1775.

The story of "Little Nightcap" is well known to Michaux descendants. Brtiefly it is as follows: After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Moses Rochet tried to get his youngest daughter Susanne to Amsterdam, Holland, where many refugees had fled to escape persecution received by Christian friends. They wrote their father to send their little sister to them, but fearing that their letters might fall into the hands of enemies of the Huguenots, they asked him to send the little nightcap they had left behind.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get little Susanne out of France, her father arranged to have her shipped in a large cask, or hogshead, which was entrusted to a friendly sea-captain, who had the cask placed on board his ship. When they had sailed and were safely past the guards who were posted on vessels in the harbour, the cask was opened and Susanne was lifted out of her narrow, dark chamber, and brought safely to Amsterdam, where her sisters received her with great joy. ~1691 Elizabeth Michaux 1693 Olive Judith Michaux 1693 - 1796 Ann Madelin Michaux 103 103 3 JAN 1695/96 Jane Magdalaine Michaux 1698 Susanne Michaux 1699 Isaac Michaux ~1701 Abraham Michaux 1703 Easter Mary Michaux 7 MAR 1706/07 John Paul Michaux ~1641 - 1686 Jean Moses Rochet 45 45 ~1641 - >1667 Marie Truffet 26 26 ~1615 - 1649 Thierri Rochet 34 34 ~1615 Suzanne Rondeau ~1585 Thomas Rochet ~1590 Marguerite Beauciel 22 JAN 1642/43 Jacob Michaux 14 FEB 1637/38 Anne Severin ~1610 Paul Severin ~1615 Elizabeth De Serignon 1608 Abraham Michaux 1610 - 1672 Marie Gaudin 62 62 JAN 1627/28 Rachel Michaux 1631 Jeremie Michaux 1635 Pierre Michaux 1637 Daniel Michaux 1638 Susanne Michaux 1640 Elizabeth Michaux 1642 Jacques Michaux 1645 Abraham Michaux 14 FEB 1647/48 Madelaine Michaux 1650 Abraham Michaux 1652 Jeanne Michaux 30 JAN 1654/55 Elizabet Michaux 1673 Paul Micheaux 1675 Elizabet Micheaux 1677 Jacques Micheaux 1678 Henri Micheaux 1680 Jean Micheaux 1681 Madelaine Micheaux 1687 Jacob Micheaux 3 MAR 1687/88 Samuel Micheaux 1740 - 1791 Elizabeth Michaux Woodson 51 51 * Note: 1. The story is told that when Tarleton's troop "passed through Prince Edward on a general plundering expedition", they visited "Slate Hill"' with the purpose of capturing Nathaniel Venable, who had been collecting supplies for the Virginia soldiers; but he escaped, having received timely warning. Some of these supplies were at "Slate Hill", and Mrs. Venable at once had them stored in empty tobacco hogsheads, headed these up and had them rolled out in front of the barns as if ready to be shipped to the tobacco market. The ruse suceeded. "They committed some robberies, destroyed some furniture, and one of their number with a pistol pointed at the breast of Mrs. Venable, demanded that she reveal her husbend's whereabouts, or he would shoot her down. Her calm reply was, 'Fire away! My husband has his country to defend!' At this instant an officer intervened and ordered the man away who had offered the indignity, severely reprimanding him". From the manuscript book of Abraham B. Venable. The book of public claims of Prince Edward Co., allowed by the General Assembly of 1782, show certain items that indicate that Madam Venable was very active in behalf of the American cause, while her husband was absent on war duties: "Elizabeth Venable, for 7 days service of a waggoner furnished John Morton". (Commissary). "Seven days service her waggoner and team to remove public flour, found by herself." "78 1/2 lbs. Lead furnished the Militia (when Lord Cornwallis was at Dan River) and was carried to Gen'l. Green." 2.

From "Venables of Virginia," by Elizabeth Marshall Venable, at pages 157 to 161:

"William Lewis Venable of 'Haymarket,' Prince Edward Co., Va. (son of Nathaniel Venable of 'Slate Hill' and Elizabeth Woodson Venable, his wife) was born at 'Slate Hill,' Prince Edward Co., Va., May 30, 1780; d. before Aug. 17, 1824, at 'Haymarket,' Prince Edward Co., Va. A.B. Hampden-Sidney College, 1800; 'trustee and an active trustee' of Hampden-Sidney College from May 6, 1807, to his resignation, April 25, 1823. 'He was a lieutenant in Capt. Samuel V. Allen's company of cavalry, 1st Reg. (Holcomb's) Virginia Militia in War of 1812.' 'He saw service in the so-called Battle of Craney Island, near Norfolk, Va., where the British Admiral Warren, in June, 1813, attempted an attack on a battery placed on the island for the defence of the approach to Norfolk and Portsmouth. The attack ended in a fiasco, the British losing some thirty or forty men, mostly by desertion and capture.' He married, in Kentucky, near Springfield, about 1808, Frances Watkins Nantz (b. about 1793 in Springfield, Kentucky, a daughter of Lieut. Frederick Nantz of the Revolutionary Army, and Martha Hughes Watkins, his wife). He and his wife met when her uncle, Gen. Matthew Walton, on his way from Kentucky to U. S. Senate, brought her to Virginia to complete her education. William Lewis Venable was owner of extensive lands in both Virginia and Kentucky, a planter and merchant. His home was his plantation, 'Haymarket,' near Farmville, Va. The house in which he and his wife lived has long ago been burned and the only traces of it are a few straggling boxwood bushes and the uncared for burying ground, all overgrown with honeysuckle, in the midst of a cultivated field of tobacco.

"Will of William Lewis Venable of 'Haymarket,' Prince Edward Co., Va.

" 'I, William L. Venable, of the County of Prince Edward, do hereby make my last will and testament in manner and form following, that is to say; I desire that my Executors hereafter named should pay all my just debts that remain unpaid at my death, out of the debts that are due me and my crop of tobacco, if there should be one on hand made but unsold at my death.

" 'Also I give my wife Frances W.

It is my wish that she should distribute this property among my children as she pleases.
" 'In every case where the increase of negroes is mentioned I wish it understood to be the increase after the date of this will.
" 'The balance that may remain after payment of my debts from the funds mentioned in the first clause of this will, together with my stock in trade, I desire my executors to put at interest, the interest to be drawn annually for the support of my family if necessary, the principal to be divided equally among my children in the following manner; -- when one becomes of age or marries, they shall be entitle to receive their proportion of the money and so on till all have received.
" 'If any of my negroes should become vicious or troublesome, I desire my executors to sell them, the proceeds to go to the child to whom said negro has been given by will, or my wife as the case may be. I desire my executors to sell all the lots in the town of Hamden that remain unsold, except the store-house lot, provided there should be a demand for them and they think it to the interest of my son, Nath'I A. Venable, to sell; the money arising from the sale to be put to interest, and the interest to go to the support and education of my children but the principal to remain entire, to be paid to my son N. A. Venable when he comes of age.
" 'Should my sons, Thomas F. Venable or Nath'l. A. Venable not live until they are twenty-one years old, and die without heir, I give their portion of my real estate to my son William. The balance of my estate I give to my wife.
" 'I appoint Frances W. Venable, N. E. Venable [of 'Longwood,'] Henry E. Watkins and Wm. H. Venable executors of this last will. I appoint N. E. Venable guardian of my children.

The junior Bavarian line B continued to rule in Bavaria, and remained Catholic at the reformation; William V, Duke of Bavaria (1546-1628), named his elder son Maximilian (1573-1651) co-Duke of Bavaria 1594, and abdicated as ruler in his son’s favour 15 Oct 1597. Maximilian was elevated to the dignity of Elector of the Empire with the deprivation of that title from the Elector Palatine 25 Feb 1623 (this title restored by the Treaty of Westphalia 1648, increasing the number of Electors). Charles VII (1697-1745), Elector of Bavaria, was elected King of Bohemia 7 Dec 1741 (in opposition to the Archduchess Maria Theresia) but never took possession, and was elected Emperor 24 Jan 1742 (crowned 12 Feb 1742); his son Maximilian III Joseph, Elector of Bavaria, died without male issue 30 Dec 1777 when the junior line became extinct in the male line. The Electorate of Bavaria passed to the Elector Palatine, head of the senior line, by the terms of the Treaty of Westphalia.

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, the Norman), 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. [Sir

Having observed that they resided, the one, on a hill and the other on a knoll, or lesser hill, the king, on investing then with the honours and insignia of knighthood, dubbed them Hill-ton and Knoll-ton. Whatever of truth may attach to the tradition, it is certain that the name is an ancient one, born out of its own native soil.  A large proportion of English proper names has been suggested by local situations and associations, and of these the name Knowlton is one of the most striking, as it is one of the most ancient. The suffix ton is the old Saxon tun, town, so that in its primary use it meant the people, or town, on the knoll, but in process of time it lost this collective force, and was applied to the chief family, or personae, resident thereon. For the purpose both of government and revenue, the English people were grouped in Hundres, so called because one hundred families were made to comprise one district, or borough.



In Doomsday Book, that curious and quaint record of estates and surveys which the Conqueror ordered in 1083, that he might know the extent of his realm and provide for the royal revenues, there was a Knowlton Hundred, originally but a mere hamlet in Dorset, which became by royal appointment a Fair Town, and a rural centre of considerable importance.

The original hamlet and manor have long since passed away, but-the name survives as does the Knowlton church, and its present boundaries include Knowlhill, Moor Crichel, Crichel-Govis,  Gussage All Saints, Gussage St Michael, Wimborne St Giles, and the Parish of Woodlands. This estate was anciently held by Anagar, and in Doomsday Book, the name is Chenoltone, while in subsequent books it is indifferently spelled Knowlton, Knolton, Knollton,  Knowton and Knowlden.  A careful inspection of the Wills and Administrations in the Prerogative Courts of Canterbury and York reveals these varied spelling of the one and the same name, for it is differently spelled in the same document, and by the same person. It is well documented that proper names were, until a very recent date spelled phonetically, or according to their sound, this is a ready explanation of these singular orthographies. The name spelt as Knowlton, the strongest spelling over the years, reaches back traditionally to the time of William the Conqueror, 1066-87.

Knowlton Parish and Knowlton Hall still designate a Manor and Baronial Residence in Kent County, six miles from the city of Canterbury. It originally belonged to Odo, Bishop of Baieux, who was subsequently disgraced, and his property confiscated to the Crown. In the fifteenth year of the Conqueror, the estate was surveyed, and given to one of his followers, from whom it passed by Knight’s service to Perot, and thence to the owners in later years. In the thirty-third year of Edward the First, Perot assumed the title of Lord Knollton, an early example of the transfer of a proper name from the soil to its owner. Lord Knowlton left the estate to his daughter Christian, who married William de Langley, High Sheriff under Edward III. (1327-77). His son called himself William Knollton, Esq., during the reign of Henry VI (1429-71). In the twentieth year of Henry VII (1505) William’s son John (whose son and successor, Edward, married Elizabeth Peyton, daughter of Sir John Peyton, who was the next owner) came into possession, and he married Dorothy Tyndal, daughter of Sir John Tyndal, Governor of the Tower of London. His grandson and heir, Thomas, had children, Dorothy, Catherine, William, and Thomas. From the time when Sir Perot adopted the title Lord Knollton, down to the day of Sir D’Aetb, it is matter of history that the lords of this manor were known indifferently both by their surnames and by their adopted titles, and the Parish and Hall now perpetuate that historic fact. Knowlton Hall is a fine residence situated on a knoll in a beautiful park of two hundred acres, which are kept in a high state of cultivation, and adorned with the choicest creations of the gardener’s artistic genius. The land is gently rolling, affording an agreeable diversity of hill and dale, and the beautiful walks and paths entice one into the shade of grand old trees that have delighted for ages the eyes that faded out of human life centuries ago.

An examination of the fragmentary histories and ecclesiastical records of the sixteenth century discloses the fact that the names of these Kentish Knowlton’s are precisely those that appear and reappear, again and again, among the families of the Knowlton’s of at least five succeeding generations. Every Knowlton of this period was found mainly within, or near, the county of Dorset and smaller quantities in Kent, and the conclusion would appear to be irresistible that the surname itself would have come from from the Hamlet of Knowlton in Dorset. Indeed, the name could never have been used in Kent in its original and wider significance, for there is not at present, nor has there ever been, even a village settlement there. Besides the Hall, there are only the Rectory and two farm houses on the estate and the whole parish reports but twenty-six souls.  In regard to the Knowlton Hamlet in Dorset, it appears that after the demise of the village through the Black Death, most Knowlton's migrated to Southampton (25miles) and Bournemouth area (20 miles), in fact you will find in both these areas the most concentrated amount of the Knowlton name in England with some of them even holding the position of Mayor of Southampton. Therefore, Dorset & Hampshire being the more populated counties over the past 1000 years of the Knowlton name.

Thomas Knowlton, an antiquarian who emigrated to the new world (USA), was fond of telling of the distinction enjoyed by one of his ancestors, a retainer of the Earl of Warwick, who always appeared in Court dress, with a silver and jewelled sword at his belt, and other insignia of rank, and who stood high with the King. He had charge of one of the Earl’s castles in Kent, and was a descendant of the Knowlton’s referred to above. This has been passed on by the grandchildren  over the years and many other interesting facts told by the Knowlton’s concerning the position of their ancestors.

There were Knowlton's in Canterbury, and in the City of London as early as 1550, and the published "Visitations and Allegations of the Provinces of York and Canterbury" clearly show that they were never a numerous or scattered family, but that until the year 1728 they were confined entirely to the counties of  Dorset, Hampshire, Middlesex and Kent. They invariably married by license instead of by banns, which as invariably indicates a recognized social position and condition of comfort, for such license could be obtained only from the Archbishop of Canterbury, and at considerable expense of about 50 pounds. In these old records the titles of Mr. and Esq. frequently used, indicating a social status above that of the common people. ~1617 Elizabeth Rice ~1640 Elizabeth Knowlton ~1645 Margery Knowlton 1591 -

Dirk's mother, prob Antje, had him out of wedlock and when she died (an unmarried woman), her brother (Ubbo, b. abt 1788) adopted the little boy and gave him the Beving family Surname (the same name as Dirk's natural mother, Antje and his adopted uncle, Ubbo).
The explanation comes from Trientje (who married Spekker). She told the story to her great-granddaughter Anni Kromminga (who married Johan Peter Skekker) and Anni told the story to her grand-daughter Almuth who lives in Munich (year 2003). Trientje was the sister of Antje and Ubbo (b. abt 1788), so she was little Dirk's (b 1814) aunt.
Dirk's father is referred to as "Uncle Everts Beving" who adopted little dirk. Uncle Beving's name was Ubbo Everts Beving - and little Dirk was given the family surname. ~1792 Antje Janssen ~1816 Evert Ubbens Beving 1820 Diertje Beving ~1795 Engel Geerdes Frey ~1827 Trientje Beving 1753 Evert Ubben Beving ~1757 Diertje Dirks 1788 Trientje Everts Beving ~1792 Antje Beving ~1722 Ubbe Evers Beving ~1726 Tryntje Gerrits ~1755 Evert Beving ~1757 Hinderk Beving ~1759 Roesken Beving ~1761 Klaas Beving ~1778 Etje or Etta Ihnen ~1764 Geerd Janssen Smit 1794 Hilke Smidt ~1768 Heike Henrichs ~1741 Hinricus Geerds ~1737 Jan Geerds Smit 1858 Wopke Muntenga 1876 - 1936 Fannie Smith 59 59 1882 Katie Smith ~1884 Dena Smith 1885 - 1965 William Smith 79 79 1895 - 1971 Clara Smith 76 76 1897 Jacob (Jimmie) Smith ~1893 Mr. Kline ~1905 Marie Miller ~1872 Mr. Hutchins ~1875 Mr. Lettermeier ~1878 Mr. Thompson ~1880 Mr. Carlson ~1891 Anne Banghoff 1928 Waiva Jean Salisbury ~1924 John Menefee 1931 - 1931 Leila Mae Salisbury 1628 - 1710 Joseph French 82 82 1634 Anne French 1628 - 12 FEB 1686/87 Susanna Stacy 1641 - 1721 Mary Noyes 79 79 1594 - 1682 Richard Goodell 88 88 1740 - 1830 Mary "Polly" Blackburn 90 90 ~1765 James Akers ~1770 Lucy Webster 1784 Lucy Akers 1785 - 1858 Elizabeth Akers 72 72 ~1786 Louisa Akers 1788 Susanna Akers ~1789 Sylvia Akers 1790 Frances Akers 1794 Jonathan Wesley Akers 1796 Sarah "Sallie" Akers 1798 William Akers 1801 David Akers 1804 Toliver Akers 1797 - 1846 Abraham Hart 49 49 1800 - 1887 Amelia Terry 87 87 ~1857 Rachel Ann Akers 1852 Andrew Hart 1788 - 1862 Frances Terrill Morton 73 73 Deborah 1676 - 1748 William Morton 72 72 ~1678 Jane Morton 1698 - <1748 Ann Mothershead 50 50 ~1600 - 1694 John Morton 94 94 Laswell - Bosley Legacy

George Wheeler and Katherine Pin were among the early settlers of Concord. They both lived out their life at Concord. Thomas Wheeler, The son of Thomas Wheeler and Rebecca, was one of the early settlers of Fairfield moving there from Concord. The Wheeler Family in America by A. G. Wheeler, The Wheeler Genealogy by R. D. Wheeler and The Wheeler Family by M. Molyneaux have well research history of the children of Thomas and Rebecca and none list a son named George. The three Thomas Wheelers of Cranfield as well as the multiple Thomas' of New England have made this a real difficult problem. I am inclined to believe the Wheeler Genealogy is correct. " ++++++++++++++++++ Steve Wheeler wrote 4/2/98 "I wish I could, but I do not have information about the parents of George Wheeler of Concord. Here is what Florence Wheeler (librarian in Leominster, Mass, 1902-1950, and former Wheeler genealogist) had to say on this subject, abt 1950:
"Owing to the confusion in the numerous Wheeler families in Concord, Mass and the duplication of names in Cranfield, England, George Wheeler's back- ground is uncertain . In the July, 1937 issue of the American Genealogist, an article by Mrs. William Anderson, with comments by Donald Lines Jacobus refutes previous suppositions. Here, they quote the will of Thomas Wheeler, the Elder, of Cranfield, in which this George is not mentioned, and on that ground he is no longer assigned to this family. Aside from this one item, the information given by Mr. Homer W. Brainard previously (July, 1935, American Genealogist) is accepted." My e-mail was directed solely at the parentage of George of Concord (d. 1687), which was listed in a previous e-mail as Thomas. I believe this was accepted until this 1937 article was researched and published. This information supersedes both Brainard and Albert Gallatin Wheeler's works."

Johnstown Center, Wis., Nov. 5, 1850--d. Oct. 30, 1919), poet, novelist. Mrs. Wilcox, whose work is rife with platitudes and sentimentality, was in her day an extremely "marketable" poetess. Lloyd Morris gave the most effective description of her in Postscript to Yesterday (1947): "A stately figure, Mrs. Wilcox was softly enveloped by plumes, chiffons, and Oriental metaphysics. Her life was blameless, but her imagination simmered. Over the land millions of women throbbed to her verses." She wrote a sentimental novel when she was ten, her first essay was published when she was fourteen, and her first poem not long after. She tried college for a while, but didn't like it and turned to newspaper work. When her Poems of Passion (1876) appeared, the work became famous overnight, because of its "daring" quality, and her reputation was made. Mrs. Wilcox published more than forty volumes from Drops of Water (1872) to The Worlds and I (1918). Most of these were verse, some were fiction, two were autobiographical. The most famous of her poems is Solitude, which begins: "Laugh and the world laughs with you,/ Weep and you weep alone."

        "My mother, Fanny Krum was b. on a farm at Chatham, Four Corner, Columbia Co, NY.  This farm of 100 acres was lost by her father's mismanagement, and the family of half-grown children went to face life in the wilds of Montgomery Co, NY...at Oppenheim, and there is where my parents met."
Lockwood age 23 and Fanny 20 when married.
"In the spring of 1829, they with my uncle, Abel Krum, moved to Ashtabula Co, Ohio.  At first my parents settled in Wayne, where they bought 30 acres of land, moved into what had been  a stable, and with not much but their hands began the struggle for a home and competence." 1832 John M.
