Living Peter 1920 - 1989 Theodore Neal Peter 69 69 Cause of Death:<CAUS> Cancer
REFN: 2AN
REFN: P2
Theodore Peter was a veteran of the United State Army Air Corps in World
War II.  He enlisted prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.  Ted
Peter was stations at Chanute Field, Illinois to attend his training for
bei ng a crew chief. He was also stationed in El Paso, Texas; Boise, Idaho
;
and Loring, Maine where he was a tail gunner on B-10 bombers flying
anti-submarine patrols prior to the U.S. entry into World War II.  When
the U.S. joined the war, Ted Peter was sent with  his unit, the 427 Heavy
Bombardment Squadron, 303rd Heavy Bombardment Group, 8th Air Force to
Molesworth, England.  He was a crew chief for B-17 bombers and lost two
ships in combat over Germany.  His last ship was nicknamed "Queenie". The
303rd was nicknamed "Hell's Angels" and saw combat in many of the
decisive bombing runs over Germany.  Following the surrender of Germany,
Ted Peter's unit was transferred to Casablanca, North Africa, where he
spent about 6 months prior to returning to the the U.S.
Af ter being discharged as a Technical Sergeant, Ted Peter returned to
Steubenvi lle, Jefferson Co, OH.  He enrolled in OH University and started
dating his f uture wife Mary Harris.  Mary and Ted were married in Athens,
OH in 1946.  Th ey returned to Steubenville and had their first son,
Robert Christian Peter, in June of 1948.  Ted was working at Wheeling
Steel as a time clerk.  In June of 1952 they had their second son, David
Hamilton Peter.  Ted continued to w ork at Wheeling Steel which merged
with Pittsburgh Steel to form Wheeling-Pit tsburgh Steel.  Ted was now
working as a lab technician in the refractories l ab, testing the bricks
used to line the vessels the molten steel was made in. Ted was diagnosed
with prostate cancer in 1982, he retired from the steel m ill and he and
Mary Eleanor moved to Cincinnati, OH to be near his oldest son , Robert.
When David returned in 1989 from his Air Force assignment in Hawaii and
was stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas Nevada, Ted and Eleanor moved t o
Las Vegas to be near David.  In November 1989, the cancer got worse and
h ad spread, Ted was admitted to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, and on
December 2nd, 1989 he passed away.
My memories of my father are that he was an admirer of intellect.  He
loved words and studied obscure words to increase his voca bulary.  He
enjoyed acting and was an active member of the Steubenville Playe rs when
I was growing up.  He enjoyed his participation in the annual fete at his
church in Cincinnati where he played an English Beefeater.  He was raise d
Methodist but converted to the Episcopal Church when he married Eleanor.
He was a privately religious man and was active in his church where ever
he l ived when his health allowed.  He was a life long democratic and very
strong supporter of labor unions.  He was principled and highly moral.
After I enlis ted and made of career in the Air Force we shared our
military experiences an d grew closer.  I miss him.  David Hamilton Peter
June 23rd, 2001.
Theodore Peter's funeral was held at All Saint's Episcopal Church, Las
Vegas Nevada. He was cremated and his remains are stored in Cincinnati,
OH.

Aged Man Found Dead i n His Bed        (Steubenville Weekly Gazette, Jan
17, 1908)
Samuel Hunter H amilton, aged 73 yrs, a descendant of James Hunter, of
local historical fame, who died many years ago, and who is said to have
been the first white child born in this vicinity, died at his lodgings
over the Elk Restaurant on South Fourth Street some time during last
night of acute heart trouble.  His remain s were taken this morning to the
home of his son W.C. Hamilton, of 310 South Fourth Street.
Mr Hamilton retired last night in his usual health.  He had nev er
complained of trouble with his heart so far as is known and was a well
+p reserved and very healthy man for his years.  Last midnight another
lodger he ard him coughing and making sounds as though he was in
distress.  The lodger knocked on his door and inquired if be was ill.
Receiving a negative reply th e lodger did not approach the bed in which
Mr Hamilton lay.  Earlier in the n ight however, it is said that the
sufferer borrowed a bottle of strong lineam ent from another lodger which
he said he wished to use for rheumatic pains. There is a theory that the
application of the lineament many have brought abo ut a stoppage of the
heart's action, as a physician who examined the dead bod y became certain
that a sudden and acute development of heart disease caused the death.
Mr Hamilton did not board at the Elk Restaurant.  Instead, he took his
meals at the home of his son on South Fourth Street.  As the old man had
always been punctual about rising, the silence in his room this morning
was regarded as ominous and an investigation was made.  He was found in a
natura l position in bed with the siDe of his face resting on one hand. It
is though t that the attach was so rapid and deadly that he may have died
without wakin g.
The deceased was born in Knoxville.  His wife who died 22 years ago was
M iss Sarah Oram , of this city.  Most of the deceased life was spent in
this c ity, where he was employed as engineer and blacksmith by various
concerns.  H e worked for a number of years for the Steubenville Coal and
Mining Company.
A brother, John, who resides near what is called the old camp meeting
ground ; a sister, Mrs George Carlisle, formerly of Toronto, but now in
California; a son W. C. Hamilton, of 310 South Fourth Street; and a
daughter Mrs Frank Mc Connell, of 207 Washington Street, are the survivors
.
//The obituary is wrong in stating Samuel Hunter Hamilton was descended
from James Hunter, he is desc ended from Esther Hunter, James Hunter's
sister.//

REFN: 31AN
Alias:<ALIA> Carl August /Peter/
Cause of Death:<CAUS> diabetis
REFN: P31
Dr Charles Carl August Peter died of diabetes after an illness of almost o
ne year at the age of 64 years and 6 months.  He attended the Universi
ty of Heildburg and graduated with a M.D. degree prior to the a
ge of 21 in the spring of 1831.  He emigrated to America in the fall of 18
31.
excerpt from Budget date unknown reporter Maxine Renner Eberle:
"Carl/Charles Peters was born 1817 in Hesse Cassel,Germany,son of a govern
ment official. By age 12, Carl had passed all the grades of the public sch
ools in Cassel and was sent to the gymnasium (college) to prepare him f
or the study of medicine. At age 16, he entered the University of Marbur
g, then a year later at Wurzburg University, then to Erlangen, where he gr
aduated with high honors at age 21.
In 1838, Dr Peters came to Pittsburgh, PA where he met his younger brother
s, Franz and Hugo, who had come to America the year before. Making his w
ay to OH from Pittsburgh, Dr Carl Peters located his practice at Louisvil
le in Stark County. Being dissatisfied there, he continued on through Indi
ana and Illinois, where in fall 1839, he had an obstinate attack of malari
a. He concluded then to locate at Evansville IN, where he formed a partner
ship with another physician, but not agreeing with his partner's midnig
ht gambling and sprees, Carl returned to OH, where in the spring of 184
0, he landed in Winesburg, with eleven cents in his pocket. Being satisfi
ed there was no malaria in this part of the country, he decided to ma
ke it his home."

. In "Historical Collections of Harrison County," a will dated July 5,
1835, is listed for Daniel Belknap, with wife Jane and children Ammoret,
Orville, Harriet, Horace, David, Sidney, Thomas, and Charles. All other
sour ces I have seen say these are the children of David Belknap and Jane
Ayers. C an anyone shed any light on this?
2. In listings of the children of David Belk nap and Jane Ayers, I have
seen listed a Bissell Sidney Belknap and a Sidney Belknap. Are these the
same person? See below!
The 1884 "History of Tuscaraw as County" mentions a Beasel S. (B.S.)
Belknap who "emigrated to Virginia fro m Vermont in 1800," came to OH in
1805, participated in the War of 1812, prac ticed medicine in Tuscarawas
Co. in 1830, and had three sons (including David , who married Elizabeth
Kline in 1854) and one daughter. Is this actually Bis sell Sidney Belknap,
confused with his father David Belknap, who came to OH i n 1807, when B.S.
was a child?

Little is known about Ebenezer Belknap, except that his occupation w as
that of a "joiner", like his father before him. He resided in Haverhill,
Essex Co, MAssachusetts, served in the colonial wars and fought largely
agai nst the French Canadians, in the French Indian wars. We find records
of him i n several land transactions in Haverhill between the years of
1693-1747. Eben ezer's wife Hannah Ayer, was a sister to his brother
Abraham's wife, Elizabet h Ayer.
1672 - 1779 Hannah Ayer 106 106 REFN: 59AN
REFN: P59
Abt 1708. When Hannah was 105 years old she roDe on a stallion behin d her
son Obadiah, from Atkinson, New Hampshire, to Plaistow, New Hampshire.
"New Hampshire Patriot", in 1837, says all children except for one [1]
daug hter who died at the age of seventeen [17], lived to an advanced age.
Annals of American Academy, in an article on longevity, says
longest-lived family on record.
1627 - 1701 Samuel Belknap 74 74 REFN: 60AN
REFN: P60
He bought property in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts., 1665.(21) At 39
years of age Samuel became the father of Ebenezer BELKNAP in Haverhill,
Essex, Massachusetts., December 16, 1667. At 44 years of age Samuel
became t he father of Joseph BELKNAP in Haverhill, Essex, Massachusetts.,
March 25, 16 72. At 47 years of age Samuel became the father of Patience
BELKNAP in Haverh ill, Essex, Massachusetts., September 17, 1675. Samuel's
occupation: CARPENTE R,FREEMAN in Massachusetts., 1677. Samuel took an
oath of allegiance in Haver hill, Essex, Massachusetts., November 28,
1677.(22) Samuel Belknap lived a li fetime of at least seventy-three [73]
years and spent most of his life in the Salem, Malden, and Haverhill
areas of Massachusetts. It is possible that he lived for a time in
Hampton, Long Island. He was a "joiner", that is a crafts man who built
"fixed" furnishings for a house, such as settees, cupboards, sh elves,
etc; that are made by "cabinet-makers" today. Samuel is listed as owni ng
several different parcels of land at times in his life from, two [2]
sma ll lots at Hampton, Long Island, in 1653, a large property in Salem,
Massachu setts, of which he sold parcels of in deeds dated 1665 and 1666.
In a "deed" dated April 14, 1671, Samuel of Maulden, "joiner", Joseph of
Boston, "glover" and their sister Hannah, sold "theire thirds" [ie;
hereditary rights] of thr ee-fourths of an acre in Lynn, part of the house
lott belonging to their fath er Abraham. In 1673 he bought a two and one
half acre lot in Haverhill, which he sold in 1685. On October 13, 1696,
he deeded his "homestead" at Haverhill . {twenty-seven acres with
buildings] to his son Ebenezer. Samuel and his wif e both died in
Haverhill, Essex Co, MAssachusetts, she on April 18, 1689 and he sometime
after November 11, 1701.

REFN: P61
1590 - 1643 Abraham Belknap 53 53 REFN: 62AN
REFN: P62
Began using the name Belknap between 1620 and 1625.   Married Mary
Stallion, (born december 24, 1595), Latton. Essex, England on October 28,
16 17. Lived at Netteswell, Essex. and North Weald, Essex. Emigrated from
Epping , Essex, with the "Massachusetts Bay Company" in 1635, name of
"ship" not kno wn. Settled at Lynn, Massachusetts with wife and sons, John
(Jeremy), Samuel and Joseph.
Began use of name Belknap sometime between December 06,1620, and M arch
02, 1624. ( only one of this generation to do so before death of Bennet) .
Church register North Weald spells name Beltrap--a frequent misspelling
o f Belknap at that time. Disposition that he signed by (mark) at North
Weald, Essex in 1626 as Abraham Belknapp. Abraham's uncle Josias, signed
his "will" as Belknappe, and named Bennet as Benedict Belknappe,--thus
forcing Bennet to swear on oath in court that he was Benedict Belknappe,
February 06, 1599. Be nnet's "will" April 14, 1623, named him as Bennet
Beltoft. Bennet's wife and children buried him as Bennet Belknap.
Immediately after Bennet's death in 16 24, his wife, and all his children
used name Belknap. Beltoft was never again used by any member of this
family. Abraham's occupation in England is unknow n, but apparently
landless. Thought to have been disinherited in his father"s "will", such
is not the case. He was bequeathed Bennet's only sizeable sum o f money,
twenty (20) shillings, a goodly sum at that time. This was likely du e to
the pre Norman conquest practice, or as the Normans called it, (borough
English), whereas the youngest son was the inheritor of the estate.
Abraham was alloted forty (40) acres of land at Lynn, Massachusetts, in
1637, Occupa tion, Farmer. Abraham died at Lynn, Massachusetts, in
September, 1643. Net Va lue of his estate, forty seven--(47) pounds.

REFN: P64
April 1623. Bennet Beltoft, alias Belknappe, married Grace Adam. He was
baptized as a Beltoft, signed his "will" as Beltoft, but his wife and
c hildren buried him as a Belknap. Once and only under compulsion, did
Bennet, acknowledge the Belknap name, which was when he probated the
"will" of his br other Josias, who had made Bennet his chief legatee.
Josias had accumulated l andes, and a sizeable amount of money which he
had bequeathed to his brother Bennet, but in order to claim the said
inheritance, Bennet had to swear in co urt that he was Bennedict
Belknappe, as named by Josias in his "will". Why Jo sias, whom was

Sawbridgeworth, Hert s, England., at 68 years of age. At 31 years of age
Grace became the mother o f John BELKNAP in Sawbridgeworth, Herts,

At 32 yea rs of age Bennet became the father of John BELKNAP in
Sawbridgeworth, Herts, England., April 08, 1593. He made a will in North
Weald, Essex, England., Apr il 1623. Bennet Beltoft, alias Belknappe,
married Grace Adam. He was baptized as a Beltoft, signed his "will" as
Beltoft, but his wife and children buried him as a Belknap. Once and only
under compulsion, did Bennet, acknowledge th e Belknap name, which was
when he probated the "will" of his brother Josias, who had made Bennet
his chief legatee. Josias had accumulated landes, and a s izeable amount
of money which he had bequeathed to his brother Bennet, but in order to
claim the said inheritance, Bennet had to swear in court that he wa s
Bennedict Belknappe, as named by Josias in his "will".

Richard Beltoft was born about 1520, and lived with his uncle John f rom
1525 on. In a lawsuit Richard lost property his uncle John had tried to
bequeath to him, but received a settlement of six [6] pounds when he was
abo ut thirty one [31] years old. He was buried on December 02, 1599, and
it was surmised he was landless, because of no mention of land in his
"will". It is possible he had already given his land to his youngest son
Josias, a few year s before his death. Richard had lived with his Uncle
John at "Nidelles" since early boyhood, [about 1525] so we can assume
that his Father Laurence had al ready died.

1782 - 1847 Jonathon Cable 65 65 REFN: 92AN
REFN: P92
Jonathan Cable married Elizabeth Crise
About 1811
Jonathan was born June 15, 1782 in Pennsylvania. Jonathan Cable, a pione
er settler of Pike Township, came to Pike Township in 1811 and bought Gove
rnment lands on which U.S. Quarry Tile Company is located. U.S. Quarry Ti
le Company is now U.S. Ceramics, which is a customer of Standard Plumbi
ng and Heating Company, which is run by the descendents of Jonathan and El
izabeth.
The early spelling of the Cable name places it in Germany. (Kable) T
he pioneer families also spoke German. Their family tradition classes th
em as "Pennsylvanian Dutch."  While living in Somerset county PA, this fam
ily spelled the name Kable, as was the custom of other German families liv
ing in other parts of the state of PA. After settling in Ohio this fami
ly changed the spelling of the name to Cabell as found in the will of Jona
than Cabell, dated 1845. Soon after the death of Jonathan Cable in 1847 t
he name was always spelled Cable as was the English spelling of this fami
ly as found in England since the Norman Conquest. Since Jonathan Cable le
ft no written family record of real history of his life, tradition must su
pply less concrete information. All markers in cemeteries in the vicini
ty of Sandyville, Ohio use this English spelling of the name with one exce
ption, that of a child who died in his fifth year and whose marker among t
he earlier burials of this family has the name, Charlie E. Cabell carv
ed on a white marble slab. This is probably that of a son of Jonathan a
nd Elizabeth Cabell and not otherwise recorded. This marker has been brok
en and defaced making identification family relation impossible. The na
me seems to have been mutated from the name of "Von Kobell" as indicat
ed by its different spellings. The 'Von' was omitted as a matter of conven
ience. the other mutations followed in an effort to substitute a suitab
le spelling to represent the umlaut 'o' as found in the original name.
Early in 1803 he married Barbara Specht of Somerset county, PA, of wh
ose parentage family tradition fails to note their names. many of the Spec
ht Family settled in Carrol County, Ohio early in the history of the count
y. Jonathan Cable was a cabinet maker and carpenter as well as a farmer. F
rom U.S. Census reports he lived in ShaDe Twp., Somerset Co, PA during t
he years of his first marriage, which seems to have been terminated by t
he death of his wife early in 1810 soon after the birth of Joseph her thi
rd child. His three young children were cared for by relatives, her paren
ts or his brother Jacob until his second marriage in 1811.
Early that year or late in 1810 he married Elizabeth Crise (Krise), d
aughter of Frederick Krise of this same vicinity. A little later membe
rs of the Krise family settled near Mineral City, Ohio a few miles from t
he home of Jonathan Cable.
In the early Spring of 1811 Jonathan Cable migrated with his second w
ife and three children by his first marriage to Carlton, a small settleme
nt near Yellow Creek, Jefferson County, Ohio, where his wife kept inn a
nd tavern while her husband prepared a home in the wilds of Pike Townshi
p, Stark County, Ohio. During the Summer of 1811, Jonathan and a hired m
an built a log house and cleared five acres for the first sowing of whea
t. After the wheat was sown Jonathan returned to Carlton to spend with Geo
rge Young and early settler in this hilly part of Pike Township often call
ed the 'Switzerland of Stark County, Ohio. Here on the North siDe of San
dy Creek he lived and died.
At this time, Pike Township was considered a "Howling Wilderness". He
re they began life in all it's frontier ruggedness. Here in their Weste
rn home they were not forgetful to entertain the stranger. The native Amer
ican Indians found hospitable entertainment at the home of the settlers.
He had bought a strip of land extending along the Southern bord

In Memoriam
Elizabeth Crise Cable
February 28, 1883
At her late residence in Stark County, Ohio on the 28th., Mrs. Elizabe
th Cable, aged 90 years, 2 months, and 1 day.
Grandma Cable, as she was familiarly known, was born in Penn.  When b
ut an infant death robbed her of her mother. Left motherless, other han
ds tenderly cared for her. Having grown up to womanhood, she married in h
er native state Mr. Jonathan Cable. Like many others they sought a ho
me in the West. Moving to Ohio, they stopped near the headwaters of Yell
ow Creek, where they engaged in hotel-keeping one year only. At the expira
tion of this time, they moved farther Westward, this time locating in Pi
ke Twp., in the Southern part of Stark Co., making it their future and per
manent home, where for seventy-one consecutive years, on the same farm a
nd on the same spot of ground, she lived. At the time of their remov
al to this part of the state it was a "howling wilderness". Having purchas
ed a farm in the woods, they soon had a log house erected into which th
ey moved ere their house completed. Here they began life in all its fronti
er ruggedness and realness. Strength and health, and a will to work , so
on made an opening. Here in there Western home they were not forgetf
ul to entertain the stranger. The Redman here found hospitable entertainme
nt at the home of the settlers. The needy too, found sympathy and help. T
he years came and went. Death entered the home, and he who was father a
nd husband was called from earth, leaving a vacancy in the family circl
e. Many long years the mother remained in widowhood, journeying onward alo
ne to the end of life's race and now her lifeless body lies besiDe him w
ho long years ago fell asleep. The last hours of the Winter of 1883 will e
ver be memorable hours to the children who sat watching by bedsiDe of a be
loved and aged mother, the hands of whose life were rapidly running cu
t. On the 3rd  inet., the mountel remains of one who, by her Christian kin
dness, had won many appreciative friends, were solemnly deposited in the g
rave, besiDe her husband who many years since preceded her. There they sle
ep waiting the Resurrection Morn, when they who sleep in Jesus shall awa
ke and comes forth. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor, ass
isted by Rev. D. Yaust, a long-known and intimate friend of the decease
d. The services were held in the Sandyville Lutheran Church, of which s
he had for many long years been a worth and faithful member. The long conc
ourse of people who attended the services evidenced the esteem and love wi
th which the deceased was respected. Of her it may be truly said, "she ca
me to her grave in full age, like as a shook of corn in his season". Fo
ur sons and one daughter, and many grand and great-grandchildren mourn h
er departure--their loss her gain. She will be missed at home, in the chur
ch, in the community. As a mother affectionate and kind; as a Christian, c
onscientious and faithful; as a neighbor, obliging and sympathetic. May t
he mantel of Godliness fall on those who follow after, her virtues emulate
d, her imperfections forgotten. May the God of all grace comfort the berea
ved, and heal the wound which death has made, by the sanctifying influen
ce of his Divine grace.
A beautiful March day laid a cheerful wreath of sunshine around her gra
ve near the shadow of a column of gray granite which marks the resting pla
ce of our pioneer parents.

I decided that they copied it wrong
bec ause her maiden name was Cogan (or Cagan).  My father had the family
bible tha t John Kline had copied his wife's name and all their children a
s
they were bo rn.  And it is hard to tell whether he wrote Cogan or Cagan.
But it looks more like Cogan so that is what I've been using.  Her parents
names were also John and Catharine (Cogan).  I've seen Kogin, Coogan,
Kughin, Cakin, etc.  I xerox ed the sheets from the bible and gave the

1767 - 1811 Samuel Mosser 44 44 REFN: 103AN
!Mansfield's 1884 The History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio is incorrect in d
escribing the Samuel Mosser who settled in Tuscarawas with Abraham Moss
er and who subsequently died in 1811 as Abraham's brother. This person w
as Abraham's nephew Samuel, who himself was the son of Abraham's brother n
amed Samuel (1745-1808) who settled with other family members in Columbian
a, now Mahoning, County.
Biographical Sketch (1884):2745 "The first permanent settler was Samuel Mo
sser . . . one of the proprietors of the first quarter township. Samuel a
nd Abraham Mosser first came out on horseback about 1803, to examine the l
and the latter had entered. While inspecting the land, they were met by t
wo Indians, one of whom wished to traDe his rusty old flint gun for a n
ew rifle which Samuel carried. The offer was refused, but the savages we
re treated before they departed, from the flask the proprietors carried. T
he Indians soon returned, and the one with trading proclivities was more a
nxious than before to exchange weapons of war. To conciliate the, the whis
ky flask was again brought forth, but without producing the desired effe
ct of conciliation, and at the request of Abraham, his brother at last sur
rendered the rifle, to avoid difficulties which might postpone the settlem
ent of this tract of land. Samuel Mosser first settled opposite Bolivar, a
bout eight rods from the east bank of the river, and near the route of t
he Sandy & Beaver Canal. His first house was a diminutive hut, which serv
ed as a shelter until better accommodations could be provided. About 180
9, he purchased Lot 2, and the east half of 14, and died in 1810 or 181
2, while constructing a substantial hewed-log cabin. His wife survived h
im many years. Their children were Elizabeth (Kline), Joseph (still livi
ng near Quincy, Ill.), Jacob, Samuel, Catherine (Himes), John, Michael, a
nd Abraham."
Biographical Sketch (1932):3568 "Samuel Musser Jr. was born July 14, 176
7, probably in York County, Pennsylvania, as his birth was recorded in Chr
ist Lutheran Church in the Borough of York. He married Catherine -- abo
ut 1787, and shortly thereafter moved to western Pennsylvania, evidently w
ith his father, who later returned to York County.
After the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania, the inhabitants of th
ose counties were required to take an oath of allegiance. Samuel took th
is oath in Somerset Township of Washington County, December 31, 1794.35
69 Sometime between that date and 1800 he moved to South Beaver Townsh
ip in Beaver County, where he was recorded in the U.S. census of 180
0. At that time he was "between 26 and 45 years of age." His wife was list
ed in the same age column. In the family was one son between 10 and sixte
en years, and three sons under ten years; two daughters under ten years.
In 1803 Samuel was operating a tavern in Beaver Township of Beaver County.
3570 His brother Jacob applied for a license to operate a tavern in 1804.3
571 In 18033572 Samuel abandoned his tavern in Beaver County to sett
le in Lawrence Township, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, on lands owned by his Un
cle Abraham.
Upon the death of his father, Samuel Sr., Samuel Jr. received a settleme
nt of $200 in spite of the bequest of the will which was for the amou
nt of $40. This bequest was smaller than that bequeathed to his other chil
dren, possibly because the younger sons had lived with or near their fath
er in Springfield Township of Columbiana County and had assisted him in cl
earing and improving his farm. June 11, 1808 Samuel gave a quit-claim de
ed to further share in his father's estate in return for remuneration '
to me in hand given by will and notes to be paid by the estate of Samuel M
usser Sr., deceased.'3573
Samuel Jr. made one of his first purchases of land recorded in Tuscaraw
as County, August 10, 1808 when Abraham Mosser sold him 50 acres of land '
on the Muskingum River, east 100 perch.'3574 May

ng in the letter to intimate that he had no other broth ers than the on
es mentioned. Samuel Sr.'s home was in Hopewell Township of Yor k Count
y, Pennsylvania as early as 1779. According to statements of his g randchi
ldren, he and his family were originally from Maryland, but as his ho
me in Pennsylvania was close to the Maryland line, he may have liv
ed at va rious times under the authority of either state, according to t
he currently accepted location of the boundary line which shifted many tim
es during the course of more than half a century of dispute, and was settl
ed officially only after Mason and Dixon ran their famous line in 1767. T
he birth of his eldest son, Samuel Jr., was recorded in the Christ Luther
an Church at York, Pennsyl vania, in 1767.3237 The birth of another son, J
ohn Jacob, was recorded in the Salem Reformed Church at Hagerstown, Maryla
nd, in 1771.3238 His appearance a s a York County tax payer in 1779 wou
ld indicate only a brief residence in Maryland, unless the birth of the el
dest son was recorded during a visit or tem porary stay in York County. Sa
muel Sr.'s brother Peter Sr. was also a member of the Hagerstown chur
ch in the 1770s3239 which may be taken as some indicati on that their fath
er Michael resided in Maryland proper before moving to York County, and th
at two of his elder sons remained behind for a number of years at the o
ld home. Peter Sr. evidently moved up into Pennsylvania al
so as he w as in a Lancaster County unit during the Revolution. After t
he Revolution, Peter Sr. returned to Frederick County, Maryland, whe
re he continued to resiDe until he moved to Ohio in 1800. In the census ta
ken with tax returns in York County in 1783 Samuel Sr.'s family was list
ed as one of 'six inhabitants.'32 40 Samuel Sr. evidently owned land in Yo
rk County before 1779 as he paid taxe s on land at that date, but the fir
st land purchase which can be identified a s his was made in 1787. In th
at year Samuel Sr. 'farmer' was granted a warrant for a tract of la
nd of 78 acres called Snowhill in Hopewell Township, ' part of a larger tr
act granted to Samuel Mosser, February 23, 1787.' In the same year he so
ld to an Andrew Finley 100 acres of land. September 23, 1798, Andrew Finl
ey deeded it back to him.3241 It is likely that Samuel Sr. left Y ork Coun
ty after selling his land in 1787, and that he returned to Hopewell Townsh
ip again in 1792. He was listed in the U.S. census of 1790 in Washington C
ounty, Pennsylvania. In 1800 Samuel was in Hopewell
township again. Fro m the several young children listed by the U.S. cens
us of that year in his fa mily, he may have been giving a home to some
children of his relatives.
April 27, 1801, Samuel sold his Hopewell property of 235 acres to a John W
inter (York County deeds, and Land Office, Harrisburg). August 24 , 18
01 he entered Section 13,Township 9,Range 1, in what is now Springfield To

From the "History of

Westmoreland County, Penn., entered the northwest quarter o f Section 15,
on
the western line of the township, journeyed to it in the fa ll of 1807,
built
a cabin and made a little clearing, then brought out his f amily the
following spring.  He was a Lutheran.  His children were Jacob, Henr y,
John,
Philip, Daniel, Elizabeth (Snelbaker), Catherine, Eva (Flickinger), Hannah
(Keller) and Margaret (Burns).  Mr Kline died on the farm; his descend ant
s
are widely scattered."
My Dad wrote a brief family history in 1970 using the "History of
Tuscarawas
County, OH", probate records, auditors office an d recorders office and
cemetery stones.  Here is what he wrote about John I's will.  "The will
was
made June 10, 1829 and entered for Probate July 1, 1829 and signed by John
L. Kline Sr..  It must have been a death bed will.  He die d between June
10
and July 1, 1829 not 1826.  The amount distributed was $98 4.48.  The
inventory on chattels was $246.04."  And here is the will:  "First I want
all my just debts paid from my estate and a decent Christian burial.
Second
I leave to my wife, Mary Kline, the house where we now live and three
acres
around the house to have her natural lifetime, besides her lawful dower .
Third I give to my son Phillip, the farm he now resides on in Sandy
Townsh ip
during the natural lifetime of my wife Mary.  Phillip is to give Mary 1/3
of
all grain raised on farm.  Mary is to pay with grain her share of the
thr eshing.  Phillip gives 1/3 of all hay.  I also give to Phillip a wagon
,
plow, harrow and one mare.  At death of Mary Kline, Phillip is to have
south
part of farm in fee simple.  North part of farm is to be sold at death of
Mary at p ublic sale.  After death of Mary money is to be divided as
follows:
Henry Kl ine his share less $150, John Kline II deduct $63, Jacob Kline
deduct $95, and my son-in-law John Snelbaker deduct $20, which I have paid
them toward their shares."
I have written in my notes that John Kline I came here a widower and
married
Mary Geiring at age 67.  I've been going through my things but can't
remember where I got that information.  I'll keep looking.  Have you ever

Notes for THOMAS PUTNAM:
Sergeant Thomas Putnam had received a liberal education for his times,
but with others whom we should more enlig htened, he took a most prominent
part in the witchcraft delusion of 1692, bei ng in fact, second to none
but Rev. Parris in the fury with which he seemed t o ferret out the
victims of his young daughter's insane desire for notoriety. His wife
also took prominent part in those proceedings.
Sergeant Putnam wa s of a decisive and obstinate nature; he had been in
the Narragansett fight, belonged to the company of troopers and was
parish clerk.  Many of the record s of the witchcraft proceedings are in
his hand.  He wrote a fine, clear and beautiful hand.
It was in the houses of Thomas and of Rev. Parris that the "be witched"
children first met to accomplish their pranks.  In the "circle" were the
daughter Ann, and a maid-servant of Mrs. Putnam, Mary Lewis by name.
Th at Sergeant Putnam was a firm believer in the whole matter there seems
to be but little doubt.  He showed a lamentable lack of common sense, but
so did ma ny others.  The strain was too much for him and he died shortly
after the tra ils; his wife followed him to the grave a few weeks later.

Notes for THOMAS PUTNAM, LT:
Lt. Thomas Putnam was an inhibitant o f Lynn, Mass. in 1640; freeman 1642;
on of seven men (selectmen) of Lynn in 1 643.
The town of Salem, Mass. granted to him, 20-11-1640, "fifty acres [of
u pland] and five acres of meddow."  This was at the same time that his
father, John Putnam, received a grant of one hundred acres from the town
("in exchan ge of one-hundred acres formerly granted to him").
In 1645 the General Court p assed the following order: "Mr Thomas
Layghton, Edward Burcham, & Thomas Putt man are appointed by this Courte
to end smale causes for ye towne of Lynne fo r ye yeere ensewing" 18 June,
1645.  This Comission was renewed the 20 May, 1 648, "to end smale cawses,
vnder twenty shillings."
11th, 9 mo., 1648 he was "Chosen for Gran-Juryman" in Salem, and
10-10-1655 was chosen constable of S alem in place of Mr. William Browne.
The office of constable at that date car ried great authority and covered
the entire local administation of affairs.
Thomas Putnam was also the first parish clerk at Salem Village and was
promin ent in the local military and ecclesiatical, as well as town
affairs.
Thomas Putnam wrote a very fine hand and had evidently received a good
education, a s had his brothers.  In 1679 he gives to the Rev. James
Barley, upon his reti rement from the ministry at Salem Village, three
acres of meadow.  During the long dispute over Barley at the Village,
Thomas and John seem to have suppor ted Barley, while Nathaniel was in
opposition.
Thomas Putnam during a number of years held, besides the offices above
mentioned, the various positions of "Layer out of Highways," "Inspector
of Bridges," "to care for rates for the minister," etc.  On the 29th day,
11 mo., 1658, "Jefferey Massey, Thomas Putn ame, Nath Putname and Joseph
Hutchensen are Impowered, or any three of them, to joyne with Topsfield,
Mass. about the Runninge & setlenge & full endinge o f our sixe mile line
in the extent of it in so many places as they shall see meet, for a full
conclusion of the worke."  Oct. 8, 1662, the General Court c onfirms his
apponitment as Lieutenant in the troop of horse.
When on October 8, 1672, the General Court permitted the imhibitants of
Salem Farms to becom e a separate parish, he was made chairman of the
committee chosen to carry on the affairs of the parish (11 Nov., 1672),
and on 25 Nov., 1680, it was vote d "that Lt. Thomas Putnam and Jonathan
Wolcott supply the place of deacons fo r ensueing;" they were continued in
office 27 Dec., 1681.  This is the first mention of deacons in the
Village records.  (In the Secretary's office at the State House many
documents relating to the religious disturbances at the Vil lage.  Those
show very plainly the attituDe of the Putnams during that exciti ng
period.)
In 1682 occurs the first list of tax-payers at the Village.  The re are
ninety-four names on this list.  Lt. Thomas Putnam was by far the
we althist in the "Village" or "Farms."  Besides inheriting a double
portion of his father's estate, (It was usual among many New England
families for the el dest son to have a double portion; this became a law
and continued in force u ntil quite recent times.) he by his marriage with
widow Mary Veren came into possesion of considerable property in Jamaica
and Barbadoes.  The homestead o f Thomas although much enlarged is still
standing and is now known as the "Ge neral Israel Putnam house."  This
house is situated a little east of Hathorne 's Hill in the northern part
of Danvers, not far from the Asylum, and was occ upied by his widow in
1692.  Here also his son Joseph lived during his opposi tion to the
witchcraft proceedings.
There was also a town residence in Salem situated on the north siDe of
Essex street extending back to North River, it s front on Essex Street
embraced the western part of the grounds now occupied by the North Church

Notes for JOHN PUTNAM:
John Putnam, the founder of the Salem famil y.  His father, Nicholas, had
inherited from his youngest brother, Richard, a n estate in lands in
Wingrave bequeathed him by their father.  No record of t he transfer of
this property by Nicholas has been found, yet at the latter's death, he
then being of Stewkley, there is no mention of the Wingrave propert y.
Nicholas, however, gave to his son John his house and lands in Aston
Abb otts, of which we have found no record as to how he became possessed.
The Put nam farm was probably in Burstone, a locality adjoining Rowsham in
Wingrave. John probably lived in Stewkley with his parents until his
father's death, a nd then being of age capable to conduct a farm, seems to
have taken possessio n of the property given him by his father and to have
continued in possession , occupying himself with its care, until his
migration to New England.  In 16 14, when his name appears on his mother's
marriage license as one of the sure ties, he is described as husbandman.
No further mention is found of him in En gland, except upon the occasions
of the baptism of his children, who were bap tized at Aston Abbotts.  Who
his wife was can only be conjectured, but there is good reason to believe
she was Priscilla Deacon, of the family of that nam e of Corner Hall, in
Hemel Hempstead.
John was perhaps married in 1611 or 16 12.  The marriage records for this
period are missing from the Wingrave regis ter, and the register for Hemel
Hempstead is lost.
On November 25, 1658, Zac cheus Gould of Topsfield deputed "John Putnam of
Salem, the younger, his cous in" to be his attorney. (Essex Court Records,
IV, 100).  In an account book o f John Gould, grandson of Zaccheus, born
1662, died 1724, is found an entry b y him as follows, "Grandfather Gould
lived in Buckinghamshire, and Grandfathe r Deacon in Hertfordshire, in
Hempstead town in Corner Hall."  In this same b ook are references to John
Putnam, a contemporary, alluded to as "cousin." Je remy Gould, a brother
of Zaccheus, had a wife (Priscilla Grover) and was livi ng in Aston
Abbotts in 1631, but was in RhoDe Island in 1638. Another brother of
Zaccheus was John Gould, who lived in Bovington, and had a daughter
Pri scilla (who married a Grover and had in turn a daughter named after
her) and also a neice Priscilla Ware.  Neither of those were of suitable
age to have m arried with John Putnam. (see Water's Gleanings, pg 1019)
Both John Putnam an d Zaccheus Gould named daughters "Phoebe." Cousin was
a term in use in the ea rly part of the 17th century to indicate nephew,
and as there appears no oppo rtunity for a Putnam-Gould marriage either
way, the only alternative is to ad opt the suggestion that John Putnam and
Zacchues Gould had married sisters. ( see pg 46, Genealogical Bulletin for
1903)
John Putnam was well equipped for the work of founding a home in a
country, both in ability and financial reso urces.
There is a entry in Lechford's Note Book under date of December 27, 163 9,
(22Feb., 1640, our reckoning), "For drawing Articles for Mr. Cradocke &
Gould and Putnam (6s.)."  Just what these articles related to is not
revealed , but the reference is either to John Putnam or his eldest son
Thomas.  It wa s in 1640 that John Putnam settled in Salem.  There is no
record of his havin g been in any other part of New England prior to his
appearence in Salem.  Hi s son Thomas first settled in Lynn, and his
coming thought to have preceded h is father's.  In 1685/6, Nathaniel
Putnam deposed that he was aged sixty-five years and had lived in Salem
for forty-six years, and his brother John made a like statement, giving
his age as fifty-eight years and his residence in Sa lem as about
forty-five years (Ipswich records, Deeds, vol. 5,213), both of w hich
statements agree with the date 1640 as that of the coming of their
fat her.  As it is not likely that the removal was e

the Crown, the elder as Secretary to Elizabeth of York , consort to Henry
VII, and the other two in the military service.  Their unc le Michael was
Bishop of St. Asaph.
In 1658 (25 Nov), Zaccheus Gould of Tops field deputed "John Putnam of
Salem, the younger, his cousin" to be his attor ney.  (Essex Court
Records, IV, 100.)  In an account book of John Gould, gran dson of
Zaccheus, born 1662, died 1724, is found an entry by him as follows,
"Grandfather Gould lived in Buckinghamshire, and Grandfather Deacon in
Hert fordshire, in Hempstead town in Corner Hall."  In this same book are
referenc es to John Putnam, a contemporary, alluded to as "cousin." Jeremy
Gould, a br other of Zacheus, had wife (Priscilla Grover and was living in
ASton Abbotts in 1631, but was in RhoDe Island in 1638. Another brother
of Zacheus Gould wa s John, who lived in Bovington, and had a daughter
Priscilla (who married a G rover and had in turn a daughter named after
her,) and also a neice Pricilla Ware.  Neither of these were of suitable
age to have married with John Putnam .  (See Walter's Gleanings, page
1019.)  Both John Putnam and Zacheus Gould n amed daughters "Phoebe."
Cousin was the term in use in the early part of the 17th century to
indicate nephew, and as there appears no opportunity for a Pu tnam-Gould
marriage either way, the only alternative is to adopt the suggesti on that
John Putnam and Zaccheus Gould had married sisters.  (See page 46,
Geneological Bulletin for 1903.)
According to Professor Gould, Phebe, wife of Zaccheus Gould, was a
daughter of Thomas and Martha Deacon of Corner Hall.  T homas Deacon is
said to have been born about 1585.*  Thomas Deacon of Corner Hall was the
father of Thomas, born in 1609, who was B.A. Oxford, 1627, and
grandfather of Lt. Col. Thomas Deacon, the Parliamentary soldier.  It is
pro bable that the Thomas Deacon of Corner Hall, called grandfather by
John Gould , was born some years prior to 1585.  Bovington the home of the
Goulds and of the Deacons is part of Hempstead, and is but eight miles
from Tring.  It is an interesting coincidence that Richard Deacon, the
Queen's secretary, purcha sed the two chief manors in Stewkley, Barns and
Littlecote, in 1503, which in 1521 he gave by will to his son Richard who
was of Marston Morteyn, Beds., a nd died 1543.
* Through the courtesy of Mr. Edward Deacon who has published in a work
entitled "The Descent of the Family of Deacon of Elstowe and London," an
extensive collection made by him regarding the Deacons, the will of
Tho mas Deacon of Bovington, Hertfordshire, yeoman, has been examined. The

and makes a small bequest to the poor.  He names his three daughters,

When the [1st] Richard Beltoft died, sometime between 1501-1510, he left
to his son John, a property called Nidelles, (Nydellys), containing
t hirty [30] acres. The size of this property was most unusual for a mere
farme r at that time. It had to represent the landholding of either
someone who had descended from a peerage family, holding large blocks of
land, or someone wh o had been endowed with that land from "outside
money", of a peerage source. There is good indication that Nidelles was
located somewhere near both Shingl e Hall and Pishiobury, the two [2]
chief manor estates that exist even in Saw bridgeworth today.

KING PHILIP'S WAR VETERAN, 1675
In 1654, Samuel was executor of his uncle Robert Best's estate. About 165
5, Samuel Hunt moved from Concord to Ipswich.
"Samuel HUNT, was an aggressive man. He was aggressive in his business act
ivities, his civic responsibilities, and his convictions. As a young chi
ld of four he had crossed the ocean with his Puritan parents and his old
er brother, Nehemiah. He had trudged the weary difficult miles from Bost
on to Musketaquid of Concord and with them had survived that first terrib
le winter... Samuel was a developer of industries. The Great Cove was lat
er renamed and still named today as Hunt Coves." --Audentia Smith Anderson
"Samuel was involved in his community and included civic responsibiliti
es upon his business duties. He was reputed to be a volatile man. He had m
any jury duties, Surveyor of Highways, builder of highways, roads, and bri
dges. He also had occasional court appointed positions as property apprais
er for estate settlements.
Samuel served as a militiaman until he had a disagreement with his sergean
t. Charges were brought up and Samuel with others were disenfranchised. {L
ost there Freeman status} Samuel appealed but lost and he was not reinstat
ed until 14 years later when his son received his." --Audentia Smith Ander

KING PHILIP'S WAR, 1675-76
King Philip was the chief of the Wampanoag Indians and the son of Massasoi
t, the chief who had befriended the Pilgrims and celebrated the first Than
ksgiving in 1620. King Philip resented the intrusion and domination of t
he colonists and led an uprising of several tribes, including the Narragan
setts, in 1675-76, terrorizing New England in what would become known as t
he bloodiest Indian War ever to take place there. By the time the war end
ed 52 out of 90 New England settlements had been attacked, 12 completely d
estroyed. King Philip himself was trapped and killed in Aug. 1676.
"In 1675, King Phillip, crafty, sagacious, former friend of the colonis
ts and chief of 30 tribes, joined by many other New England tribes began h
is last ditch stand against the encroaching Englishmen. At this point t
he militia training every year paid off. Despite their training 600 coloni
sts lost their lives and 13 towns were completely destroyed.
The Confederacy of New England had already taken steps to raise a defensi
ve force of 1000 men. A great strain was put on the town of Ipswich to me
et the heavy demands of the war. The men had to be 'fitted with arms, ammu
nition and cloaths...' A warning was given to the parents, that if their s
ons were not ready to go they must go in their place to make up the 289 m
en which was Ipswich's proportion. So Samuel and his son Samuel marched aw
ay with Major Appleton on the eighth of December 1675. Many of the battl
es with the Englishmen father and son fought sided by side in hand to ha
nd combat. Eventually both received the rank of 'Ensign'.
Both survived the War and lived to an old age. Samuel was hearty and robu
st in his old age. Elizabeth died after 51 years on 15 Feb. 1707. Samuel f
eared no man regardless of his position. He stood for what he consider
ed to be right against any foe of odds and regardless of any circumstanc
es of consequences." --Audentia Smith Anderson

(2nd s/o Philip & Maria Brady Cable) was in Stony Creek, prior to summ
er of 1762. He moved into the area from Germantown about 1760. He settl
ed at the juncture of the two Indian trails, one running north and sou
th to Niagara Falls and Canada; the other going south from Brotherto
n, to the Indian villages in Tennessee. This crossing at Brotherton w
as a very important spot in the life of the Indians and later the early se
ttlers. Henry, George and James Brotherton were there when Cable and his l
arge family moved to the "crossing".
Abraham Cable built a log cabin just across the Indian trail from the Brot
herton boy cabin. They had located at a spring, where now the milk hou
se of Mr.& Mrs. Robert Bauermaster, or about where the barn now stand
s. It seems that when the Stony Creek road (now Rt. 31) was built throu
gh the settlement and it was located in the Bauermaster meadow, north of t
he house, before the present site was located, that it was planned that w
ay in order not to pass through the Brotherton, Cable holdings. Neverthele
ss, the eldest son, Jonathan born at Brotherton, 1761, later built his l
og cabin in the field just east of his father. By 1762 there must have be
en at least seven or eight cabins at the Brotherton crossing. There are fo
ur old foundation scars in the area; just across the road from the Chur
ch parsonage is an old hay barrack. This was located on the Christian Cab
le cabin foundation. (Christian was born, 1766, died 1828), buried on Calv
in Will Farm).
Abraham was born in 1729 in Switzerland. (Abraham was listed on the 1800 B
elin, Penn. roster of citizens of the 1800 Census as being past 45 yea
rs of age.)  He was naturalized in 1762, which caused a stir among the Bre
thren at Germantown because a member had to take the "Oath of Allegian
ce to the King of England" this was against the order of the Church for th
ey followed the strict letter of the Scriptures which said: but above a
ll things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the eart
h, neither by other oath; but your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; le
st ye fall into condemnation." James 5:12. The Naturalization Act declar
ed that the applicant had to have a signed statement from the clergy th
at he had attended a Communion Service within a period of three month
s. No elder at Germantown would sign the record. It is alleged that Rev. C
onrad Beissel signed the document. From that date on Abraham Cable was den
ied fellowship with the Brethren although he was baptized and reared in t
he Faith; indeed it is the belief of the author that he never really accep
ted all the teachings and beliefs of the  Church of Brethren. When he sett
led in Bruedersthal he became a part of the Brethren fellowship for it w
as the convenient and practical thing to do. From the very beginning of t
he Church in Brothers Valley there was separation in may fields and may pr
actices. Cable became the clerk as it was called in that day for the Breth
ren. Abraham had attended the Ludwig Hoecker Sunday School at Germantow
n, and the school held by Conrad Beissel at Ephrata. He had been indoctrin
ated very well by the Seventh day teachings at Ephrata. He played a lar
ge role in Martin's Church in Stony Creek.
Abraham was a well-read man for his day, he could read and write German, F
rench and English. He was a surveyor and mathematician. He had traveled f
ar and wiDe among the Indians besides being familiar with the law. In fac
t, his neighbors thought so much of him and his ability as a scribe and co
unselor that in October, 1771, they signed the following paper: (referr
ed to in Minutes of council of November 23, 1771) read in council 23d Nov
., yr 1771; & a Commission issued to Abraham Kebles a Justice of the Pea

28, 1780 when the Will was recorded.  RLC)
Philip was born in about 1710. Philip and his wife Maria fled from the Pal
atinate, County of Wittgenstein, Germany during the great persecutions fol
lowing the treaties of Westphalia.
This period of time from 1700 to 1750 was much unsettled in Government a
nd religion of Western Europe from which many migrated to the freedom of A
merica. That part of Germany West of the Rhine River, then known as Palati
nates was especially disturbed because of rival claims and possessio
ns by Germany and France. Protestants were persecuted and exiled. At th
is time many Cable (Cobell) families migrated from Wuertenberg and Weste
rn Europe to the colonies of America. Amsterdam and Baltimore were the ea
sy ports of exit and entry.
Philip and his wife, Maria, arrived in America on September 11, 1732 on t
he ship, Pennsylvania Merchant, Master John Stedman, and settled in German
town, in 1732. Philip and Maria on arriving at Germantown soon were attrac
ted to the Brethren in the Germantown Church. In 1735, Philip and Maria we

~1711 - 1768 John McCreery 57 57 REFN: 402AN
REFN: P402
John McCreery (ca 1711 - 1768), according to some traditions, was a son
of James McCreery. One story is that John was born in Scotland and came
to Ireland with his brother, James. Another is that John was born in
Irelan d. There is agreement that he was a carpenter and that he married
Agnes Nancy Crawford. However, some say that the marriage took place in
Dublin and other s that John and Nancy eloped and were married on the ship
that brought them t o America in 1732, along with the family of John's
brother, James McCreery. T hey are said to have first settled in Maryland
where they lived for twenty ye ars before moving to that part of old
Augusta County, Virginia that would bec ome Bath County in 1790.
Just when the McCreery family actually moved from Mar yland to Virginia is
uncertain. John may well have made plans to move his fam ily to Virginia
well before the move itself. This is shown by the fact that t he surveying
of land in what is now Bath County begin in earnest in 1745. One
historical note says that, "on the last day of March, 1746,…the surveyors
returned to the Cowpasture…and laid out parcels for Joseph Watson, Andrew
Mul drock and William Daugherty." The next day, "they continued down the
river…su rveying for John Walker, James Mayse and Robert Crockett.
Meanwhile a detachm ent of the surveying party was at work far above,
laying off selections for J ames Scott, John McCreery, William Gillespie,
William Lewis, James Jackson, J ames Simpson, William Black, Robert
Abercrombie…." We know that John McCreery had a survey in "the eastern
sources of the Bullpasture" and that he had ano ther, "on the Cowpasture,
immediately above the mouth of the Bullpasture." In 1750 there was a
minor lawsuit in which John McCreery sought to recover the cost of a
survey from John Justice. This would seem to indicate that the McCr eerys
were living in Augusta County by 1750 if not earlier.
In the spring of 1753 John McCreery built a mill on the Cowpasture River
just below Ebbing Sp ring. On 20 August of the same year John McCreery
qualified as "Captain of th e Horse", meaning that he was authorized to
form a militia unit of horsemen. We know that he was a carpenter and
builder and that he lived very near the c urrent town of Wil-liamsville.
John McCreery wrote his will on 23 May 1768. I t was proved on 21 November
1769 with his sons John, Jr. and Robert as execut ors. These same sons,
John, Jr. and Robert, both served as officers during th e Revolutionary
War. Capt. Robert McCreery, our ancestor, married Mary McClan ahan
(Elijah, John). After the close of the war, Robert moved his family to
Clark County, Kentucky were he died between 1780-90.
From Annals of Bath Co., VA p. 193 by Owen H. Morton
John McCreary, a carpenter and settler of some me ans and enterprise, died
at the homestead in 1768. After dividing it between sons John and Robert,
both of whom were prominent in civil and military life before moving to
Ky.
Pioneer McCreary had several daughters. Elizabeth marri ed ? Wilson in
1750. Jane married Col. Andrew Donnally in 1766, a pioneer of Greenbrier
and Kanawha Cos. whose fort near Lewisburg was a scene of battle b y the
Indians in 1778. Nancy, named for her mother (Nancy Crawford, who came
from Dublin, Ireland), married M. Huston of Ky. John McCreary, Jr.
married a daughter of Wallace Estill.
~1711 - >1768 Agnes Nancy Crawford 57 57 REFN: 403AN
REFN: P403
Agnes (Nancy) Crawford (ca 1712 - aft. 1768) was probably born in I reland
about 1711. Some traditions say that she married John McCreery in Dubl in
and that shortly thereafter they came to America along with the family of
John's brother, James McCreery. Another tradition says that John McCreery
a nd Agnes Crawford eloped and were married on the ship that brought them
to Am erica in 1732. The latter tradition says that Agnes Crawford's noble
blooded parents never forgave her for run-ning off with a man of plebian
blood. It is said that one of her brothers who had no heir came to
Virginia and sent word to Agnes, asking her to come to see him, that he
wished to adopt one of her sons to be his heir. Agnes replied that Capt.
John McCreery was as good as an y Crawford and if he wanted to see them he
must come to their home. His answe r was to return to Ireland without
seeing any of them. We do not know when Ag nes Crawford McCreery died
except that she was still living in May 1768 when her husband, John,
wrote his will.

There is a detailed pedigree of the Harcourt Family of Normandy in Table X
I. in Crispin and Macary, and also pages 14 and 93-94. Refer to Burke, p
g. 261-262.
The following material from Crispin and Macary (pg. 14) was derived fr
om G. A. La Roque, "Hist. Geneal. Maison De Harcourt" and other sources:
"Errand De Harcourt. This family is one of the most illustrious in both Fr
ance and England. Errand is mentioned by La Roque, the French histori
an of this great house, Pere Anselm, and other genealogists, as the person
age referred to by Wace which reads "sire De Herervourt was there also, ri
ding a very swift horse." They are supported in this conclusion by Le Prev
ost, as he favors Anchetil, the father of Errand, or Robert, his younger b

His paternal grandmother, Ann Hamilton, came from Belfast, Ireland, at
the same time, and settled in about the same locality near Lancaster C
it y, Penna.  She
came to America with her brothers William Hamilton and Hugh Hamilton and
his sister, Mary Hamilton.
Her brother William Hamilton was the grandfather of the distinguished
Governor of South Carolina in Calhoun's day, who was known as the
Nullifier Governor, in consequence of his advocating the nul lification of
certain tariff laws passed by Congress, which he considered adve rse to
the interests of the people of the South.
A pretty full though incomplete history of the Hamilton family of
Lancaster Co, Penna, can be seen in Egle s Pennsylvania Genealogies in
"Notes and Queries" by Colonel Evans of Columbia .  The ancestors of the
Lancaster Co Hamilton family, of which-as stated-the grandmother of
the subject of this sketch was a member, came from Scotland to Belfast,
Ireland, when it became the refuge for the persecuted Covenanters.  Th ey
were part of the historical Scotch family of Hamiltons, one of whom was
ch osen as the husband of Queen Mary, and another as the husband of Queen
Elizabe th.  Family history and family tradition also teach that Alexander
Hamilton of revolutionary fame was also connected with this same family
of Lancaster Co Hamiltons.

This Major received a Bounty Land Warrant, BLWT1010-400, issued
4 /20/1796, 400 acres. In a letter from a William H. Hannum, 700 Frankline
Ave, Columbus, OH, probably in the 1920's,the following is asserted that
the Majo r James Hamilton: "a famous son of William Hamilton was Major or
Colonel Jame s Hamiton, the Hero of Yorktown" (from The History of
Lancaster, PA, by H.M.J . Klein, I227), and from same, I325: "Colonel
Hamilton, one of George Washing ton's aides."
Also, from DAR books (Vol 10, p305, Vol 26, p48): "James Hamilto n was
captain of Continetnal infantry when taken prisoner at Fort Montgomery.
He received the British flag, surrendered by Cornwallis at Yorktown. He
wa s president of the State Society of the Cincinnati when he died in
1833, at t he age of 83".
James Hamilton, rose from the ranks to a high position in the a rmy. He
became the progenitor of a very distinguished family in South Carolin a.
William Hamilton died in January, 1782. His tender regard for his son
Ja mes, who was with the army in the South, was shown when he wrote his
will. He devised a farm to each of his sons, Hugh, William, John and
Robert. At this time he did not know whether James was living or not, and
fearing he might re turn to his home a maimed soldier, and unable to make
a comfortable living, g ave him two thousand pounds.
"This James Hamilton was born upon the parental f arm in 1758, in Leacock
township. He was probably one of the classical schola rs of the Rev.
Robert Smith at Pequea church. When the tocsin of war sounded at
Massachusetts Bay, his heart was fired with patriotic zeal, before he
at tained his majority. On March 16th, 1776, he was enrolled as second
lieutenan t in Captain John Murray's company of riflemen in the Second
Batallion of Col . Miles' regiment. He must have shown an aptituDe for
military affairs to an unusual degree in one so young to be placed in the
line of officers. In his f uture career he demmonstrated the wisdom of the
selection. He was in active s ervice in the Jerseys and participated in
the campaign there. He was in the h ottest of the fight on Long Island, in
August, taken prisoner, and not exchan ged until November 2, 1777. For
gallant conduct in this action, in September, 1778, he was promoted to a
captaincy in the First Pennsylvania, commanded by Col. James Chambers
(who subsequently married a Miss Hamilton). On December 10, 1778, he was
promoted to Major of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment of the Line,
commanded by Col. Walter Stewart. In May, 1780, he commanded a
detac hment, and, as senior Major, he commanded his Battalion at Yorktown,
which wa s in Gen. Wayne's command.
"After the surrender of Cornwallis, General Wayne, with his brigade, was
sent to the relief of Charleston, and Major Hamilton wa s in service there
when peace was declared. When there he met Elizabeth Lynch , sister of
Thomas Lynch, jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Indep endence,
from South Carolina. They were married, and for years they lived upo n his
plantation on the Santee. For some time prior and at the time of his
death he resided in the city of Charleston. Among other children he had a
son James, who was born in Charleston, May 8, 1786, and became one of the
most d istinguished of the many prominent men of the Palmetto State. He
received a c ollegiate education and graduated with high honors. His
father had in view th e profession of law for his son, but he preferred a
military life and entered the army, serving with great credit as a major
in the Canadian campaigns und er Scott and Brown, in 1812. The battles
there were the hottest and better co ntested on both sides than any other
during that war. After the war he commen ced the study of law with James
L. Petigrew. For several years in succession Major Hamilton was chosen
the chief officer in Charleston, which corresponds to that of mayor in
northern cities. He display

The information cont ained on these pages has been primarily based on info
rmation from the book Treloar Genealogy by Orson Lee Treloar.  To see
his research notes you should o rder the film from your nearest LDS centr
e. Adoption of surnames began about 1 066 and were quite commonly us
ed by the
13th century.  Treloar is a Cornish n ame, and the Cornish people came fr
om a mixture of Celtic and Iberian people. It was originally spelled Trelo
warth.  Proof of this is found in early gove rnment and church records.  T
he earliest record of the place Trelowarth is found in the very ancient re
cords when the Duchy of Cornwall was an Earldom, 1333.  In 1493 we fi
nd it first used as a surname, Johannes (Latin for John) Trelowarth.  T
he earliest church record is for Wearne Trelowarth, baptized in Wendron pa
rish 1575.  The church records show the change in spelling of the name.  F
irst the "W" was dropped leaving Treloarth, then the "TH" was dropped leav
ing Treloar.  We have one branch of the family that spells it Trelour. T
he name means "Garden Home". Lowarth for garden, Tre for home or homestea
d. It was derived from the hamlet of Trelowarth. The hamlet is no longer t
here but Treloar Farm is.  We have seen the place.  It is a picturesque va
lley in Wendron Parish. The oldest record we have found of the place na
me Trelowarth is in the following excerpt taken from the records at Duc
hy of Cornwall Offic e, 10 Buckingham Gate S.W.1, London.

olding land in Trelowarth.  John Cooke held the land in Trel owarth in 13
64 and by 1493 Johannes Trelowarth was involved in the land holding. Abo
ut 1850 there was a marked exodus from Cornwall to South Africa, Canada, A

SOME HAMILTONS and WALLACES
of
Lancaster Co., PA, Jefferson Co, OH and South Carolina
Harriet E. Wallace ~ 1986
INTRODUCTION
When I started to organize the Hamilton and Wallace family' informati
on into a unit, the family relationships did not make a picture in my min
d. In order to develop this picture and knowing it was a large family grou
p, I started with large size, plain shelf paper and tried to keep going..E
ven so the shelf paper was not wiDe enough and soon ran out. The long to
ll was difficult to carry around and awkward to handle. I have, therefor
e, transferred the lengthy "scroll" to standard sized sheets of piper. I
f- you lay them end to.end in numerical order on a table or the floor, y
ou will derive the same picture as that on the shelf paper.
There are, however, two parts to the present charts. The first pa
rt is for the Hamiltons who came to Lancaster Co, PA around 1730. In th
is part the youngest generation shown was born in the first half of the 19
th Century. So far the only family continued into a chart and brought do
wn to current people is that of Hugh Wallace - my own family. Informati
on on all of the other families still has to be brought to the present.
In most genealogies only one surname is included, and the surnam
es of most of the female members are ignored. In my mind the female membe
rs contribute equally with their husbands to the quality and caliber of t
he family. In the case of this family, it will soon be noted that, if o
ne follows the Wallaces back or the Hamiltons forward, at least t ree Hami
lton women married members of the,Wallace family. The earliest was Ann Ham
ilton, daughter of William Hamilton (d. 1781), who married James Wallac
e. Two of their sons, William and John married Hamilton cousins. Membe
rs of both the Hamiltons and Wallaces participate in many documents. It se
ems to me impossible to separate these two families.
The superscript numbers in both parts refer to the numbers of entri
es in the list of Sources of Information. The information in the prefa
ce is taken from other publications studied as well as some of the documen
ts. As yet no numbers have been given to any of the members of these famil
ies.
In the first chart the column at the left is blank, because as. y
et I have not found the name of the parents of John, Anne (Hamilton) ' - S
eawright, Hugh, Mary, and William Hamilton (d. 1781). If they all,we
re as young as indicated in 1733, it seems as if they must have come wi
th parents. The question marks in the line connecting these individuals in
dicate that no proof of the relationship has been found. The relationsh
ip is stated in the history of the Seawright (Searight) family. Consideri
ng James Hamilton (1724-1807) to be the brother of William Hamilton (d.-17
81) is speculation. Most of the other relationships are taken from o
ne or more of the documents listed, except in one or two cases. In those i
nstances the evidence appears to be the relationships shown although th
ey are not so stated specifically.
PREFACE
The Hamiltons and Wallaces are two of the oldest, most prominent, a
nd most numerous families of Scotland. Both families lived in the southe
rn or "lowland" part of Scotland.
The ancient family of Hamilton received a grant of land for a small l
ordship in his domain from the Earl of Leicester. Their coat of arms indic
ates a close connection with the family of the Earls of Leicester It is fr
om this'family that the Scottish Hamiltons are descended. Many of them we
re influential in the courts of England and Scotland maintaining very lar
ge estates. They were part of the aristocracy and nobility of early Engli
sh and Scottish history. At least six members of this family were undertak
ers who undertook the task of accepting large tracts of land in Ulst
er to which they moved tenants and other Scots in the early 17th centu
ry in an attempt to plant Scottish settlemen

Biographical Sketch (1932):3122 "Michael's wife was Maria Eva who w as
born Sept. 11, 1717; d. June 27, 1807, in Springfield Township of what is
now Mahoning County, Ohio, near Petersburg. The inscription on her
gravesto ne in the Old Lutheran Church Cemetery two miles north of that
city reads:
E va Mosser was born Sept. 11, 1717. For fifty years she was the wife of
Michae l Mosser, to whom she bore eleven children. She died June 27, 1807,
and was b uried June 29, 1807.*
Maria Eva went with her sons to Ohio in 1801, where she died and was
buried in the cemetery mentioned above. Only seven of the eleven children
are identified. Likely the others were daughters. In the exodus to Ohio
and western Pennsylvania went most of the children of Michael and Maria
Eva. (*Translated from the German by Belmont Farley with the help of Rev.

Biographical Sketch (1932):3124 "The earliest existing original tax recor
ds of York County, 1762, are carefully preserved in the Pennsylvania Histo
rical Society files in Philadelphia. This thin pamphlet of small yellowi
ng sheets lists three Mossers3125 in York County at that date: Micha
el in Manchester Township; Christian in Hellam Township; and Samuel, the n
ame of whose township is so defaced as to be illegible. As Samuel purchas
ed land in Springettsbury Manor (now York Township) in 1759,3126 it is lik
ely he claimed that as his home.
The earliest map of Springettsbury was made in 1768. Upon it are located t
he dwellings of Michael and Samuel Moser.3127 They occupied adjoining far
ms of 125 acres each. Michael purchased his farm May 5, 1764 from Samuel a
nd his wife, Catherine.3126 Michael was designated as a resident of Manche
ster Township in the deed of transfer. In the church records of Rev. Lysch
y, an itinerant missionary, is recorded the baptism, March 5, 1751, of Sam
uel Jr. son of Samuel Mosser,3128 at Bermudian in what is now Adams Count
y. He was born October 29, 1750."
Biographical Sketch (1932):3129 "Michael Mosser's name appears in York Cou
nty tax records from 1762 to 1783.3130 Dec. 26, 1788, Michael and Maria E
va deeded to their sons Jacob and Daniel the farm they purchased from Samu
el in 1754.3131 This is the last record of Michael Mosser in York Count
y. He likely died in 1789, as the U. S. census of 1790 lists a 'widow Moss
er' in this township. Interment is supposed to have been in the Mosser pri
vate cemetery, now on the farm owned by Eli Wenika in York Township."
Biographical Sketch (1932):3132 "Michael was born about 1715. He was a Ger
man Lutheran in religious denomination. Nearly all the Mossers appear in r
ecords of that church of the German Reformed church. The York County desce
ndants still hold to one of the two faiths. Michael and Maria Eva were mem
bers of Christ Lutheran Church in York, where the birth of their son Jo
hn Jacob was recorded, Feb. 9, 1756. They were likely the 'Michael Moss
er and wife' who were sponsors at the baptism of their grandson, Samuel Jr
., whose birth is recorded in the records of that church (now in the Yo
rk County Historical Society), July 14, 1767. It was the German custom f
or the grandparents to act as sponsors if they were living and could be pr
esent.
Michael moved to Springettsbury Manor, now in York Township, about M
ay 5, 1764, when he purchased a 125-acre farm from Samuel. One of the witn
esses was his son Abraham Mosser who later went to Ohio. Michael was th
en living in Manchester Township."
Biographical Sketch (1974):2774 "Michael Moser (1717-1789) Michael and E
va were members of Christ Lutheran Church in York. In 1762 he was livi
ng in Manchester Township, York County, but in 1764 he bought land from h
is brother Samuel and moved to Springsettsbury Manor. In 1788 the farm w
as deeded to Jacob and Daniel, the two youngest of their seven sons. Eva (
1717-1807) is buried in the Old Lutheran Church Cemetery, two miles nor
th of Petersburg, Ohio."
Biographical Sketch (1976):3120 "Michael was born on July 11, 1717. On Jan
uary 16, 1741 he married Eva Maria, daughter of the deceased Melchior Elsa
sser, a shoemender from Billigheim. Three of their seven sons were baptiz
ed at Bischweiler.
Samuel arrived in Philadelphia in 1749 aboard the Christian.3133 Michael a
rrived the same year aboard the Lydia.3134 Both settled in York Townshi
p, York County, Pennsylvania. Samuel owned land in Springsettsbury Manor t
here in 1759, some of which he sold to his brother Michael in 1764. In 19

Steubenville Township
As most of the history of Steubenville Township and Mingo Junction has alr
eady been included in the general history of the county and in that of t
he city of Steubenville, it will only be necessary to incluDe here a
nd in the history of other townships such facts as are not related in t
he foregoing. The original township was erected on May 30, 1803, and inclu
ded what are now Island Creek, Cross Creek and Salem townships, the two fo
rmer being cut off on June 4, 1806, and the last named on June 3, 1807. Ac
cording to the township minutes an election was held at the court hou
se in Steubenville, Zaccheus Briggs presiding, when the following office
rs were elected by ballot: John Black, clerk; Zaccheus Biggs, James Dunle
vy and James Shane, trustees; Richard Johnson and Jonathan Nottingham, ove
rseers of the poor; Thomas Hitchcock, William Engle and Richard Lee, fen
ce viewers; Matthew Adams and Samuel Hunter, appraisers of houses; Andr
ew McCullough, lister of taxable property; Thomas Gray, George Friend, Dan
iel Dunlevy and Thomas Wintringer, supervisors of highways; Anthony Blackb
urn and Andrew McCullough, constables. This was attested June 21. The ne
xt minute is as follows: "At a meeting of the subscribers, trustees of t
he township of Steubenville on the 11th of October, 1803, ordered that t
he aforesaid township be divided in the following manner: Beginning at t
he OH River at the mouth of Wills Creek; thence up said creek to the he
ad gate of Josiah Johnston’s saw-mill; thence north to the township lin
e; thence with said line to the river allotted to George Friend." Also fr
om the OH River up said Wills Creek till opposite Benjamin Doyle’s; then
ce south to Cross Creek, a straight course; thence down said creek to t
he mouth, with the town of Steubenville, to be in the district with Thom
as Gray. (This is practically the present township except the part below C
ross Creek.) Also from the mouth of Cross Creek up said creek on the sou
th siDe of the township line west; thence south to the township line; then
ce east to the OH River, deeded to Daniel Dunlevy. As also from Wills Cree
k, a south course to Benjamin Doyle’s; thence south to Cross Creek; then
ce up said creek to the extreme of the township in a west corner to the pl
ace of beginning, to be in the district allotted to Thomas Wintringer." T

From a Sept 1967 packet, originally copied from a 1904 Wherry famil y
reunion packet, comes the following: "David, the youngest son of the
immi grant was born in Ireland in 1717, and was only 1 year old when
brought to th is countyr.  He was on the Committee of Safety for Chester
County during the Revolution.  His fellow members were General William
Montgomery and General A nthony Wayne.  They were all Elders in the
Presbyterian Chruch.  In 1777, he was named on a committe to proviDe for
families of soldiers and poor families that were sent out from
Philadelphia.  He married twice and had 15 children, on of whom died in
infacy and 12 were married and left children.  The five s urviving
children of his first wife's marriage all settled in Washington Co., PA,
where many of their descendants still live, a large number moving to OH. "
From the September 1963 issue of "A Day to Remember" [#15], is a

Much of the information in this file on David Wherry and his descen dents
comes from the modern David A. Wherry of Phoenix, Arizona, who compiled a
large amount of information on the Wherrys in recent years.
From a Sept 1 967 packet, originally copied from a 1904 Wherry family
reunion packet, comes the following: "...So far as now know, the earliest
Wherry to arrive in this coutnry was David who came in 1718 with his wife
Mary and three children fro m the north of Ireland and settled in Chester
County, PA.  So near the Maryla nd line that in 1730 a portion of his land
was claimed by a citizen of Maryla nd.  This occasioned much trouble and
caused Gov. Gordon of Pennsylvania to w rite by special messenger 13 Sept.
1731 to Gov. Calvert of Marlynad, who repl ied by return of messenger. The
whole matter is detailed in the Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. 1, pages
282-292.  It all rested on boundary lines, one claimi ng from Lord
Baltimore and Wherry claiming by conveyance from William Penn. The
boundary stones were afterward found and proved the land to belong to
W herry.  It is now occupied by his descendents bearing the Wherry name...
"Davi d Wherry died 13 July 1743, by will he left his plantaion to his
two sons, Ja mes and David, and appointed them executors.  His daughter
married Mr. John L usk, who was killed by indians while passing through a
narrow defile with tro ops during the Revolution.  We have no record of
her descendents.  The elder so James, died on his homestead in 1771.  In
his will he mentioned four child ren:  Mary, Ann, James and David.  The
two sons were in the Revolution..."
F rom an April-May-June 1960 genealogical packet [#5] published by
Mrs. J. W. A day, comes his Last Will and Tesment, written verbatim
[spelling differences retained]:
"The Last WIll and Tesment of David Wherry Who being frail in body
but in perfit memory I do comit my Soul to God and my Body to be buried
at the expense of my exetours to wit my Well Beloved Sons James and David
and fi rst of all I bequeth to my Well Beloved Wife from the whol head her

yearly and labours and five bushels of wheat and six bushels of Ingon
Corn yearly and the new h ous to dwell in if she requer it and eight
carlod of hay yearly and she to be free of any debts or expenses
belonging to the plantaion and Secontly I leav e all my other efects and
plantation to be divided in two hefs between my two sons James and David,
and likewise I order that my two sons James and David shall give to my

"Given under my hand this 12th of July 1743------ David Wherry
Witness:  Samuel Dickey, Patrick Hanigen    March 27th, 1744 ins t."
The Wherry (aka Wharry) is a sept of the Scottish Clan MacQuarrie.
David Wherry was born about 1670 in North Ireland. He married Mary
Leonard who was born about 1687 and they had three children: James, Ann,
and David II. David and his family came to Pennsylvania about 1718 and
settled in Chester County, Pensylvania which was populated by Quakers and
Presbyterians. The people liv ing in this area were generally fiercely
patriotic and were some of the first to join in the fight for
independence. David was a Presbyterian and a member of the Rock
Presbyterian Church that was formed in 1724. He was an Elder of the
church for many years. David bought a farm from the Penn family that was
along the Pennsylvania and Maryland border. He was involved in a border
dis pute in 1730 involving a farmer who bought his land on the Maryland
siDe of t he border and before it was all settled, the dispute received
the attention o f the governors of Pennsylvania and Maryland. The eventual
outcome of the dis pute was that David was the rightful owner of the
disputed land.
David died July 17, 1743 and Mary died December 7, 1759 and

SOME HAMILTONS and WALLACES
of
Lancaster Co., PA, Jefferson Co., OH
and South Carolina
Harriet E. Wallace ~ 1986
INTRODUCTION
When I started to organize the Hamilton and Wallace family' informati
on into a unit, the family relationships did not make a picture in my min
d. In order to develop this picture and knowing it was a large family grou
p, I started with large size, plain shelf paper and tried to keep going..E
ven so the shelf paper was not wiDe enough and soon ran out. The long to
ll was difficult to carry around and awkward to handle. I have, therefor
e, transferred the lengthy "scroll" to standard sized sheets of piper. I
f- you lay them end to.end in numerical order on a table or the floor, y
ou will derive the same picture as that on the shelf paper.
There are, however, two parts to the present charts. The first pa
rt is for the Hamiltons vho came to Lancaster Co, PA around 1730. In th
is part the youngest generation shown was born in the first half of the 19
th Century. So far the only family continued into a chart and brought do
wn to current people is that of Hugh Wallace - my own family. Informati
on on all of the other families still has to be brought to the present.
In most genealogies only one surname is included, and the surnam
es of most of the female members are ignored. In my mind the female membe
rs contribute equally with their husbands to the quality and caliber of t
he family. In the case of this family, it will soon be noted that, if o
ne follows the Wallaces back or the Hamiltons forward, at least t ree Hami
lton women married members of the,Wallace family. The earliest was Ann Ham
ilton, daughter of William Hamilton (d. 1781), who married James Wallac
e. Two of their sons, William and John married Hamilton cousins. Membe
rs of both the Hamiltons and Wallaces participate in many documents. It se
ems to me impossible to separate these two families.
The superscript numbers in both parts refer to the numbers of entri
es in the list of Sources of Information. The information in the prefa
ce is taken from other publications studied as well as some of the documen
ts. As yet no numbers have been given to any of the members of these famil
ies.
In the first chart the column at the left is blank, because as. y
et I have not found the name of the parents of John, Anne (Hamilton) ' - S
eawright, Hugh, Mary, and William Hamilton (d. 1781). If they all,we
re as young as indicated in 1733, it seems as if they must have come wi
th parents. The question marks in the line connecting these individuals in
dicate that no proof of the relationship has been found. The relationsh
ip is stated in the history of the Seawright (Searight) family. Consideri
ng James Hamilton (1724-1807) to be the brother of William Hamilton (d.-17
81) is speculation. Most of the other relationships are taken from o
ne or more of the documents listed, except in one or two cases. In those i
nstances the evidence appears to be the relationships shown although th
ey are not so stated specifically.
PREFACE
The Hamiltons and Wallaces are two of the oldest, most prominent, a
nd most numerous families of Scotland. Both families lived in the southe
rn or "lowland" part of Scotland.
The ancient family of Hamilton received a grant of land for a small l
ordship in his domain from the Earl of Leicester. Their coat of arms indic
ates a close connection with the family of the Earls of Leicester It is fr
om this'family that the Scottish Hamiltons are descended. Many of them we
re influential in the courts of England and Scotland maintaining very lar
ge estates. They were part of the aristocracy and nobility of early Engli
sh and Scottish history. At least six members of this family were undertak
ers who undertook the task of accepting large tracts of land in Ulst
er to which they moved tenants and other Scots in the early 17th centu

PROGENITOR OF THE CONCORD BRANCH OF THE HUNT FAMILY
William came to America with his wife Elizabeth in 1635 with the Peter Bul
kely Company. He was one of the first settlers of Concord in 1635 and w
as a large proprietor there. He later moved to Marlboro where he died in O
ctober 1667. His will was dated 21 Oct 1667 and proved 17 Dec 1667.
"A Saxon word Hunter, a word used in connection with the animal to mean t
he pursuit of all game. The family took its name from their prowess in t
he hunting field. Early in the reign of James I was born William Hunt, 5
th Great Grandfather of Joseph Smith, the Prophet. He was christened 27 Ja
n. 1605 into the Church of England at Halifax, Yorkshire, England, the you
ngest son of Robert and Jane Fysher HUNT." --Audentia Smith Anderson
IMMIGRATING WITH THE PETER BULKELEY COMPANY
"As the anticipation of pursuing their religious ideals free from the cro
wn intensified, a reverend, Peter Bulkley, a life long and intimate frie

ecurity for his religious convictions.
The promotion of the settlement was successful as the Peter Bulkely Compa
ny sailed for America in two ships on May 12, 1635. The Hunt family were m
embers of his parish and set sail with him for a three month journey. A jo
urney in which the necessities of life were rationed such as their main st
able diet, corn mush and water... The Bulkely Company landed in Boston whe
re they stayed a month in order to obtain a grant from the government to s
tart the new settlement which afterwards they would purchase from the Indi
ans in order to acquire full title.
The General-Court at Boston granted them the incorporation of land at Musk
etaquid for a settlement. They procured a team and broke trail through t
he wilderness into the forest away from the seashore. The trail was incred
ibly rough - timber was thick and shredded their clothing and even teari
ng skin. The nights were cold and there was no place to retreat in as mu
ch as the trip was made during the fall and winter. They were not ab
le to have shoes so their feet were usually wrapped in skin.
Once they reached their destination they made crude mud dugouts in the ban

First son of Sir Christopher Danby of Thorpe Perrow by Margaret, dau. a
nd event. coheiress of Thomas, 5th Lord Scrope of Masham. Married by 153
1, Elizabeth, dau. of Richard Neville, 2nd Lord Latimer. Suc. family 17 M
ay 1518. Kntd. 25 May 1533. J.p. Yorks. (W. Riding) 1538-45, (N. Riding) 1
538-45, 1558/59-d.; commr. musters (N. Riding) 1539, benevolence (N. Ridin
g) 1544/45, relief (N. Riding) 1550; sheriff, Yorks. 1545/6.
For one so well endowed and connected Christopher Danby was to live a rela
tively obscure life. Among the earlier references to him are those of h
is securing exemption from serving on juries or as sheriff in Nov 1532, a
nd of his being released from the shrievalty when he was pricked in 1543 a
fter nominations in 1538 and 1539; he did, however, serve as a juror in 15
37, join the bench in 1538 and other commissions thereafter, and become sh
eriff in 1545. His knighthood presents a not dissimilar pattern, for it w
as only after being fined for not having been knighted that he was dubb
ed at the coronation of Anne Boleyn.
Danby was momentarily involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace. On 15 Oct 15
36 the lords at Pontefract castle reported that he and his brother-in-l
aw Sir John Neville, 3rd Lord Latimer, had been taken by the rebels; bo
th men managed to extricate themselves and Danby, in the Duke of Norfolk
's phrase, showed himself a true subject by acting as a grand juror in t
he trials of his less fortunate colleagues, including his cousin Lord Darc
y. His own survival of the crisis was marked by his entry upon local admin
istration and by his association with the defence of Berwick. Some years l
ater he was listed among the few Yorkshire knights fit to serve against t
he Scots, and in 1544 he was charged with raising 50 or 100 men for the Sc
ottish campaign.
In 1538 Danby engaged in a scheme to exchange his lands in Kent and Suffol
k, part of the Scrope inheritance, with the King and Cromwell for Yorkshi
re lands. In May of that year Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland, ask
ed Cromwell to ensure that, in view of the intended marriage between his d
aughter Mary and Danby's son Thomas, the new lands should descend to Thom
as Danby as the old were to have done. In the event nothing seems to ha
ve come of the proposed exchange. It seems that Danby himself might have b
een ennobled, for Sir William Paget named him as one of the men whom Hen
ry VIII chose on his deathbed to be ‘advanced’: if so, it would probably h
ave been because of his connexion with Queen Catherine Parr, who had be
en the wife of the 3rd Lord Latimer. Nothing has been discovered about Dan
by's attitude towards the religious changes of these years but in vi
ew of his Catholicism in later life he is likely to have been more at ea
se under Mary than under Edward VI. It was then that he had his only spe
ll in Parliament as junior knight for Yorkshire with Sir William Babthorp
e, although his part in the proceedings has left no trace.
After 1558 Danby was again a dissentient. Listed among the justices who we
re accounted ‘no favourers of religion’ in 1564, in Nov of the following y
ear he was in some trouble with both the council in the north and the Pri
vy Council. His younger son Christopher was, in the words of Sir Thomas Ga
rgrave, ‘one of the chief rebels for religion’ in 1569, as was a son-in-la
w, Sir John Neville of Liversedge, Yorkshire. Danby made his will on 27 M
ar 1568 and died on 14 Jun 1571. His son and heir Sir Thomas Danby was th
en over 40 years old.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WILLIAM DODGE OF BEVERLY
1629 - 1692
by
Dona ld R. Dodge *
In the approximate year of our Lord 1604, John and Margery Dodge of
Middle Chinnock, County of Somerset, England, had born to them William,
their first of three sons. John Dodge and his sons William, Richard, and
Mic hael were linearly descended from that Saxon race of warriors who
served as s teel clad barons in wars waged for the Norman kings of England
.
On April 25, 1 629, Mr. William Dodge joined a company of Puritan planters
and craftsmen and journeyed to America on the Lion's Whelp, a small ship
of 120 tons displacem ent. The Lion's Whelp and her sister ships the
Talbot and the George carried their goods and passengers to Naumkaeg, the
Indian name for the North America n territory settled by England's
Massachusetts Bay Company at Salem.
William Dodge, aged 25 years, or thereabouts, was described as well over
usual statu re, with a well formed athletic physique, with the dark hair,
eyes, and compl exion typical of the ancient Britons. Reverend John White
of the Massachusett s Bay Company called Mr. William Dodge a " skillful
and painful husbandman" i n reference to his skills as a farmer. He
recommended that Governor Endicott give William the charge of a team of
horses to facilitate his work efforts in the expanding Puritan
settlements in the Salem area The records indicate tha t William returned
to England on October 15, 1635 to be present at his father 's deathbed.
William was one of three witnesses to John Dodge's will which ga ve him a
sum of 40 pounds and a team of oxen. This inheritance was described as
supplemental to whatever gifts his father had given him before he first
emigrated to the New World in 1629.
William returned to Salem, presumably with his inherited money and farm
animals to resume his life as an English Plante r. As a freeman of the
Salem settlement, William was given two lots of land c omprised of 80
acres and 20 acres each, on September 3, 1637. In May, 1641, W illiam
purchased 200 more acres of good, farmable land from John Palfrey. The
land was located in an area of Salem near the headwaters of the Bass
River . This land area later became part of the new town of Beverly where
William m aDe his permanent residence in 1645.
William Dodge's 280+ acres of land made h is land holdings the largest of
the early 17th century Planters according to the recorded land deeds of
the Salem/ Beverly area. Records show that on Dece mber 3, 1641 he gave 40
acres of his land to his brother Richard Dodge who ha d emigrated to Salem
in 1638, nine years after his younger brother William.
William Dodge was a well respected farmer and citizen of the
Salem/Beverly co mmunity. The area's historical texts and records show
over 35 instances where Farmer William was appointed or elected to public
services for his community . He held such offices as selectman, grand
juryman, and surveyor of roads and properties. He is noted as one of the
founders of the First Church in Beverl y in 1667. He was a neighbor and
close friend of the Reverend John Hale.
Wil liam Dodge was a family man. According to historical records, he
married Mary Conant, the widow of John Balch of Beverly, in his later
life. However, the maiden name of the wife and mother of his four
children is not recorded. His children, in order of birth were;
* John Dodge Baptized December 25, 1636
* W illiam Dodge Baptized September 19, 1640
* Hannah Dodge Baptized July 24, 1642
* Josiah Dodge ( Baptismal date not recorded)
Farmer William Dodge Sr. died in his 80's at some time between the years
1685 and 1692. He deeded most of h is property to his second son Captain
William Dodge. No mention is made in Fa rmer William's will , or in other
records, of his bequests to his eldest son Captain John Dodge, who
outlived his father by more than 30 years. It is reco rded that Captain
John Dodge and his two brothe

[From History of Dunbar Hume and Dundas from Drummond's Noble British
Families, Wil liam Pickering, London 1846]
THE Homes are among the oldest and most celebrate d of the historical
families of Scotland. Their founder was descended from th e Earls of
Dunbar and March, who sprung from the Saxon kings of England and t he
princes of Northumberland. After the conquest of that country by William
of Normandy, Cospatrick, the great Earl of Northumberland, and several
other Saxon nobles connected with the northern counties, fled into
Scotland in the year 1066, carrying with them Edgar Atheling, the heir of
the Saxon line, an d his two sisters, Margaret and Christina. Malcolm
Canmore, who married the P rincess Margaret, bestowed on the expatriated
noble the manor of Dunbar, and broad lands in the Merse and the Lothians.
Patrick, the second son of the thi rd Earl of Dunbar, inherited from his
father the manor of Greenlaw, and havin g married his cousin Ada, daughter
of the fifth Earl by his wife, a natural d aughter of William the Lion,
obtained with her the lands of Home (pronounced Hume), in Berwickshire,
from which the designation of the family was taken. T he armorial bearings
of his ancestors, the Earls of Dunbar, which were a whit e lion on a red
field, were assumed by him on a green field for a difference, referring
to his paternal estate of Greenlaw.
Under the protection of their potent kinsman, the De Homes flourished and
extended their possessions, and kept vigilant ‘watch and ward’ on the
Eastern Marches against the incursions of the Northumbrian freebooters.
One of their chiefs, a Sir John De Home, was so conspicuous for his
successful forays across the Border, always fighting in a white jacket,
that he obtained from the English the sobriquet of ‘Willie with the White
Doublet.’ The son of this redoubtable Border chief acquired t he estate of
Dunglass (from which the second title of the family is taken) by his
marriage to the heiress of Nicholas Pepdie, in the reign of Robert III.
The second son of this couple was the founder of the warlike family of
Wedd erburn, from which the Earls of Marchmont are descended.
Hitherto the De Homes had acknowledged as their feudal lords the Earls of
Dunbar and March, the he ads of the great house from which they sprung,
who, from their vast possessio ns and their strong castle of Dunbar, on
the eastern Border, having the keys of the kingdom at their girdle, as
they boasted, were among the most powerful nobles in the kingdom. Partly
from ambition, partly, it would appear, from a hereditary fickleness of
character, these barons were noted for the frequenc y with which they
changed sides in the wars between England and Scotland. The eleventh Earl
was in the end unfairly deprived of his earldom, castles, and estates by
James I., towards the middle of the fifteenth century, in pursuanc e of
his policy to break down the power of the great nobles. As some
compen sation for this treatment, the King conferred upon him the title of
Earl of B uchan, but he indignantly refused to accept of the honour, and
sought an asyl um in England, from which he never afterwards returned. His
father, the tenth Earl of Dunbar and March, who was one of the heroes of
Otterburn, in consequ ence of the manner in which the contract of marriage
between his daughter and the Duke of Rothesay was broken off (see THE
D0UGLASES), renounced his alleg iance for a time to his sovereign; the De
Homes, his kinsmen, abandoned his b anner, and fought against him and
Harry Percy at the sanguinary battle of Hom ildon, where their chief, SIR

" .. was Sheriff of Peeblesshire. He married Jean or Joanna, eldest
daughter of S ir Hugh Giffard of Yester, the head of an old family which
settled in Scotlan d in the reign of David I, and obtained from that
monarch lands in East Lothi an. William the Lion conferred upon him the
barony of Yester. In the course o f time the parish which bore that name
came to be popularly called Giffard. H is grandson, Hugh Giffard, was one
of the guardians of Alexander III and his queen. He was regarded as a
skillful magician, and several anecdotes are told of his magical art, and
his control over demons and the powers of nature. Fo rdun mentions that in
Giffard's castle there was a capacious cavern, said to have been formed
by magical art, and called in the country, 'Bo-Hall,' that i s, Hobgoblin
Hall. Sir David Dalrymple, in his 'Annals,' says, 'A stair of tw enty-four
steps led down to this apartment, which is a large and spacious hal l,
with an arched roof; and though it has stood for many centuries, and been
exposed to the external air for a period of fifty or sixty years, it is
sti ll as firm and entire as if it had only stood a few years. From the
floor of this hall another stair of thirty-six steps leads down to a pit,
which hath a communication with Hope's Water.' This ancient and strong
castle, which stan ds on an elevated peninsula, near the junction of two
streams, has long been in ruins, though the Goblin Hall was tenanted by
the Marquis of Tweeddale's f alconer so late as 1737. Sir Hugh's
appearance and dress are vividly describe d by Sir Walter Scott in the
third canto of 'Marmion;' and of the hall he say s --
" 'Of lofty roof and ample size,
Beneath the castle deep it lies;
To he w the living rock profound,
The floor to pave, the arch to round,
There never toiled a mortal arm;
It all was wrought by word and charm.'
"Sir Hugh Giffar d's heiress brought the barony of Yester into the
Tweeddale family, and they quartered the arms of Giffard with their own.
"The Church of Yester, of which Sir William obtained the patronage along
with the estate, was originally call ed St. Bathan's. It was converted by
him into a cllegiate establishment for a provost, six prebendaries, and
two choristers; and in this state it continue d until the Reformation.
"Though the Hays were henceforth designated as of Yes ter, they still
continued to resiDe at Neidpath Castle, on the banks of the T weed, near
Peebles. In all probability the newer part of that castle was buil t by
Sir William in the early part of the fifteenth century. For the sake of
security the walls of the new structure were made enormously thick and
stro ng; but a serious mistake was committed in a military point of view,
in allow ing teh old castle to remain, for its walls were greatly inferior
in strength and thickness to those of the new part of the fortress, and
the old part con sequently formed its vulnerable part as soon as artillery
came into use.
"Si r William took for his second wife, Alice, daughter of Sir Thomas Hay,
of Err ol, and had issue by both wives. The first bore to him three sons
and three d aughters, the second a son and a daughter. The eldest son,
William, predeceas ed him; the second son, Thomas, was one of the hostages
for James I in 1423, when his income was estimated at six hundred marks
yearly. He survived his fa ther only four years, and died unmarried in
1432. He was succeeded by his bro ther, David ..."

"After the final overthrow of the Earls of Dunbar a nd March, in January,
1436, the Homes succeeded to a portion of their vast es tates, and to a
great deal of power on the Borders as Wardens of the Eastern Marches. Sir
Alexander Home, the head of the family, was created a peer by th e title
of Lord Home, 2nd August, 1473, and seems to have possessed considera ble
diplomatic ability, and he was frequently employed by James III in
carr ying out important negotiations with the English Court. His father
and uncle had held in succession the office of bailie of the lands
belonging to the mon astery of Coldingham, and he induced the prior and
chapter to make the office hereditary in his family. He exerted all his
influence in that situation to obtain possession of the large conventual
property, and indeed seized and app ropriated it to his own use. He was,
therefore, greatly irritated by the atte mpt of King James, with the
consent of the Pope, to attach the revenues of th e priory to the Chapel
Royal at Stirling, and joined the disaffected nobles i n their conspiracy
against that ill-fated sovereign. His Border spearmen cont ributed not a
little to the defeat and death of James at Sauchie. The Homes o btained a
liberal share of the fruits of the victory gained by the rebellious
barons. The revenues of Coldingham, the prize for which Lord Home had
rebe lled and fought against his sovereign, were allowed to remain in his
possessi on, and Alexander Home, second baron, his grandson and heir, was
appointed im mediately after the murder of James to the office of Steward
of Dunbar, and o btained besides a large share of the administration of
the Lothians and Berwi ckshire."

Scotland, 9 April, 1326, Regent 1335-41, and 1346-57 , created Earl of
Atholl, 16 Feb. 1341-2, Earl of Strathearn before 1357-8, a nd crowned at

h ad previously had issue,
From Burkes Peerage, Part Three, House of Stewart
Ro bert II (March 2, 1316- April 19, 1390), king of Scotland, called "the
Stewar d", a title that gave the name to the House of Stewart (or Stuart).
Robert was the sole son of Walter, the 5th High Steward of Scotland (d.
1326), and Marj orie (d. 1316 in childbirth), daughter of King Robert the
Bruce.
In 1318 the Scottish parliament decreed that if King Robert died without
sons the crown should pass to his grandson; but the birth of a son
afterwards, King David II , to Bruce in 1324 postponed the accession of
Robert for nearly forty-two yea rs. Soon after the infant David became
king in 1329, the Steward began to tak e a prominent part in the affairs
of Scotland. He was one of the leaders of t he Scottish army at the battle
of Halidon Hill in July 1333; and after gainin g some successes over the
adherents of Edward Balliol in the west of Scotland , he and John
Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray (d. 1346), were chosen as regents o f the
kingdom, while David sought safety in France.
The colleagues soon quar relled; then Randolph fell into the hands of the
English and Robert became so le regent, meeting with such success in his
efforts to restore the royal auth ority that the king was able to return
to Scotland in 1341. Having handed ove r the duties of government to
David, the Steward escaped from the battle of N eville's Cross in 1346,
and was again chosen regent while the king was a capt ive in England. Soon
after this event some friction arose between Robert and his royal uncle.
Accused, probably without truth, of desertion at Neville's C ross, the
Steward as heir-apparent was greatly chagrined by the king's propos al to
make Edward III of England, or one of his sons, the heir to the Scottis h
throne, and by David's marriage with Margaret Logie.
In 1363 he rose in re bellion, and after having made his submission was
seized and imprisoned toget her with four of his sons, being only released
a short time before David's De ath in February 1371. By the terms of the
decree of 1318 Robert now succeeded to the throne, and was crowned at
Scone in March 1371. His reign is unimport ant. Some steps were taken by
the nobles to control the royal authority. In 1 378 a war broke out with
England; but the king took no part in the fighting, which included the
burning of Edinburgh and the Scottish victory at the Battl e of
Otterbourne in 1388.
As age and infirmity were telling upon him, the es tates in 1389 appointed
his second surviving son Robert, Earl of Fife, afterw ards Duke of Albany,
guardian of the kingdom. The king died at Dundonald in 1 390, and was
buried at Scone.
His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Mure of Rowallan, a
lady who had formerly been his mistress. Robert ha d married her in 1336,
but as the marriage had been criticised as uncanonical , he remarried her
in 1349. By her he had at least four sons, the eldest of w hom was his
successor, King Robert III, and six daughters. By his second wife ,
Euphemia, daughter of Hugh, 6th Earl of Ross, and widow of the 3rd Earl
o f Moray, formerly his colleague as regent, he had two sons and several
daught ers.
The confusion about the circumstances of his first marriage would later
lead to conflict amongst the descendants of his first marriage (which
includ ed James I of Scotland) and the unquestionably legitimate
descendants of his second marriage.
Robert had also eight ill

ELIZABETH MURE, the 1st wife (thoug h never queen) of Robert II, is a
shadowy figure of whom little is known. Her father was Sir Adam Mure of
Rowallan and she was probably born in about 1315 , the year after
Bannockburn. She and Robert lived together for some years be fore their
marriage, during which time she bore him 9 children. They finally married
by special dispensation of Pope Clement VI, 22 November 1347, by whic h
all their children were legitimated per subsequens matrimonium.
At this ti me Robert was still only Earl of Strathearn; thus, although
Elizabeth became Countess of Strathearn, she was never queen of Scots,
since she died before h er husband ascended the throne. From the fact that
Robert married again in 13 55, we must infer that Elizabeth had died by
that date.

Thomas Kerr became the 9th Baron of Fe rniehirst Castle. He was also noted
for his involvement with Mary Stuart, Que en of Scots.  Assisted Mary,
Queen of Scots, escape the English.
Sir John’s son, Sir Thomas Kerr of Ferniehirst, was noted for his loyalty
to Mary Queen of Scots, for whom he built a fortified house in the centre
of Jedburgh. He r aised the Royal Standard for her in Dumfries, helping
her and her husband Dar nley to put down an insurrection by a group of her
nobles (she won at the tim e but was forced into exile a few years later).
Subsequently he sheltered her English supporters after the rising of the
Northern Earls (1568) and rescued Lady Northumberland, stranded by
illness in a Liddesdale outlaw’s hide-out. He helped his father-in-law,
Kirkcaldy of Grange, to defend Edinburgh Castle in the Queen’s name; when
it was taken he lost precious family documents whic h were never seen
again, but at least he escaped with his life (Kirkcaldy was beheaded) and
fled abroad for some years. He was re-instated in his lands by James VI
when the young King came of age and took power into his own hands. The
townsmen of Jedburgh supported the Regent Morton (later also beheaded)
against Mary; they "debagged" and publicly caned a herald sent out by
Fernieh irst to read out a proclamation of loyalty to the Queen, also
compelling him to eat his document.
From her English prison, Mary wrote to Sir Thomas, thanki ng him for his
past services and encouraging him to keep up his loyalty. She seems to
have taken a particular liking to his young son Andrew, the first Lo rd
Jedburgh, and may have knighted him while still a child, for she asks in
particular to be remembered to "Sir Andrew".
Briefly imprisoned after the fal l of Edinburgh Castle, Sir Thomas was in
exile and unable to perform his duti es as Warden at the time of the last
major clash on the Border, the Raid of R edeswire. This incident developed
on one of the "days of truce" when the Ward ens or their deputes met to
resolve various local problems and to exchange or hang wanted criminals.
On this occasion the English Warden complained that t he Scots had failed
to hand over a thief known as "Farnstein" (not a German r efugee or
mercenary, as one might think, but an Englishman whose real name wa s
Robson). This led to mutual insults, no doubt aggravated by the fact that
both sides had been liquidating a great deal of liquid. The argument grew
in to a scuffle and the scuffle grew into a fight. Eventually the Jedburgh
men a rrived in strength and dispersed the English, killing a few and
capturing oth ers, who were later released without ransom.
Though he missed this particular incident, Sir Thomas was involved in a
similar but smaller affray, on almost the same spot, ten years later. By
then he was back in office as Warden of th e Middle March; Forster, now
84, was still in charge on the other side, and F orster’s son-in-law, who
was also a son of the Earl of Bedford, was killed. E lizabeth Tudor was
not amused, and insisted on Ferniehirst’s punishment, thou gh the rights
and wrongs of the whole affair were by no means clear. Being an xious to
succeed to the English throne, James VI sought to ingratiate himself with
her, and exiled Sir Thomas to Aberdeen, where he died within a year. Th e
inscription on his memorial in Jedburgh Abbey reads "Sir THOMAS KERR of
F ernyherst, Warden of the Marches, Provost of Edinburgh and Jedburgh,
Father o f Andrew Lord Jedburgh, Sir James Kerr of Creylin (Crailing) and
Robert Earl of Somerset. He died at Aberdeen on March 31, 1586 and lies
buried before the Communion Table. He was a man of action and perfit
loyaltie and constancie t o Queen Marie in all her troubles. He suffered
14 years’ banishment besides f orfaulter (forfeiture) of his lands. He was
restored to his estates and honou rs by King James the Sext."

KIRKALDY, WILLIAM, one of the earliest converts to the protestant faith
in Scotland, and a brave and accomplished man, was the eldest son of Si r
James Kirkaldy of Grange, high treasurer to James V. of Scotland. [The
fa cts in this article are in general taken from the memoir of Kirkaldy of
Grang e by Mr Graham Dalyell, a gentleman who has been so minute in his
investigati ons that it would be difficult to find a fact of importance
omitted by him.] Of the period of his birth and the method of his
education we have been unabl e to discover any satisfactory information;
but like the greater number of th e Scottish barons at that time, he seems
to have chosen, or to have been devo ted by his parents, to the profession
of arms. At the death of James, his fat her seems to have lost his
situation in the government; yet with a view of pr ocuring that nobleman’s
assistance to the cause of protestantism, he was one of the most active
assistants in raising Arran to the regency; but in the hop e he had
formed, he was to a considerable extent disappointed.
Young Grange, as well as his father, had embraced the principles of the
Reformation; and h is first appearance in the historic page is as one of
the conspirators agains t the persecutor, cardinal David Beaton. The
circumstances of this renowned c onspiracy have already been commemorated
in these pages. The conspirators hav ing, by an act which cannot be
justified, avenged the death of the martyr Wis hart by assassinating his
murderer, shut themselves up in the castle of St An drews, which they held
for several months, and only surrendered, after being besieged by a
French force, in the end of July or the beginning of August, 15 46. It was
stipulated that the lives of all that were in the castle should be
spared; that they should be transported to France, whence, if they did
not choose to continue in that country, they were to be transported to
whatever other country they chose, Scotland excepted. The victors,
however, did not fi nd it necessary or convenient to attend to the terms
of the stipulation; the greater part of the garrison were sent to the
galleys, and the leaders immure d in different dungeons. Norman Leslie,
Peter Carmichael, and the subject of this memoir, were imprisoned in
Mount St Michael, where they lay a considerab le time. From this place
they wrote a letter to John Knox, who was in the gal leys, asking the
somewhat superfluous question whether they might not with a good
conscience break their prison. To this Knox naturally answered in the
affirmative, with the proviso, that they were not morally entitled to
shed bl ood in the attempt.
Embracing the opportunity of a festival night, when the ga rrison were
intoxicated, they bound every man in the castle, locked the doors , and
departed, having it is said, strictly adhered to the humane
recommend ation of Knox. The two Leslies came to Rohan, and speedily
escaped; but Kirka ldy and Peter Carmichael, disguised as beggars,
wandered through the country for upwards of a quarter of a year; at the
termination of which period they g ot on board a French ship, which landed
them in the west of Scotland, whence they found their way into England.
Kirkaldy appears to have spent a considerab le portion of the ensuing
period of his life in France, where he entered the army, and was
distinguished as a brave and skilful soldier in the wars betwee n the
French king and the emperor Charles V. Sir James Melville informs us,
that in these wars he commanded a hundred light horsemen; and for his
useful services, received the commendation of the duke of Vendome, the
prince of Co ndé, and the duke of Aumale. Henry II., he adds, used to
point him out and sa y, "Yonder is one of the most valiant men of our
age." Henry indeed seems to have used him with the most endearing
familiarity, and in all the pastimes wh ich he attended, is said to have
chosen Grange

NOTES:
Comptroller of Scotland, 1499.
"In the Service of Lieuten ant Home, as nearest heir male of Patrick,
first Earl of Marchmont in 1799, a nd again in his Petition to the King in
1804, Patrick Hume (the Founder of th e Family of Polwart) is represented
to have died before 1480, and to have bee n succeeded by a son, Patrick
(afterwards Sir Patrick) Hume, who is said to h ave obtained a grant of
the lands of Birghamshiels from the Duke of Albany in 1483, to have died
in 1504, and to have been succeeded by his son Alexander Hume; but in all
the Claimant's subsequent statements, the two Patrick Humes are
considered one and the same person."
....
The "Birth Brief," (A Copy of this Document will be found in the
Appendix, No.I.) which is still extant, i n the Marchmont Repositories,
with the Great Seal of Scotland attached, is ad dressed by the King to all
Foreigh Emperors, Kings, Princes, &c. It traces th e Pedigree of Alexander
Hume up to Sir David Home of Wedderburn (second son o f the Earl of Home),
and agrees in all points (except respecting the two Patr ick Humes in
question) with the main line of Hume of Polwart, as it has been proved by
the Claimant, which favours the presumption that it is no less accu rate
throughout.(b)
....
(b) The earliest three generations of the Polwart Family are thus
described in the Birth Brief; "Qui vero Alexander" (that is, Alexander
Hume, in the Pedigree) "fuit filius legittimus domini Patricij Hume de
Polwart dicti regni nostri thesaurarij inter eum et dominam Mariam
Edmo nstoun ejus sponsam filiam Joannis Edmonstoun De eodem genitus. Et
qui Patric ius Hume fuit filius legittimus Patricij Hume De Polwart inter
eum et Margare tam Sinclair ejus uxorem filiam Joannis Sinclair Comarchi
De Hermistoun natus ."
[Case on the Part of Sir Hugh Hume Campbell of Marchmont, Baronet, in
rel ation to the Claim of Francis Douglas Home, Esquire, to the Titles,
Honours a nd Dignities of Earl of Marchmont, Viscount of Blazonberry, Lord
Polwart of P olwart, Reidbraes and Greenlaw. Presented to the Lords in
1843. Printed by Sp ottiswooDe and Robertson, Westminster; pp. 76, with
chart.]
Sir Patrick of P olwarth, had a grant of Birgamshiels from the Duke of
Albany, and in 1497, a grant from the King of the Lands of Argaty and
Lundies; had a summons for tre ason issued against him in 1478, for his
adherence to the Duke of Albany. In 1493, he made a pilgrimage to
Canterbury. In 1499, he was knighted and made C omptroller of Scotland,
died before 1504. In 1434, John Sinclair, of Herdmans ton, brought an
action against George and Patrick for "ye wranguis takin and withalding
of ye Hous of Hirdmanston," by which it would appear that they wou ld not
wait to inherit their father-in-law's property, but had actually ouste d
him. (Marchmont case).
[From History of Dunbar Hume and Dundas from Drummo nd's Noble British
Families, William Pickering, London 1846]
In the Birth-br ief of Lord Marchmont there is another generation of a
Patrick who married Ma ry Edmondstone, daughter of Edmondstone of that
ilk; but it is difficult to r econcile this with the persons in the next
generation, who were undoubtedly t he issue of the above two marriages;
and it is mentioned nowhere else. He may have been an elder son who died
vivente patre.

REFN: P1264
Never married.  Raised her siblings her parents died.  She was the
primary accuser during the Salem witch trials.  In August 1706 she asked
t he congregation of her church for forgiveness for her part in the
accusations of witchcraft and the deaths of 20 people as a result.
Ann Putnam Jr.
Ann Pu tnam Jr. was the eldest child of Thomas and Ann Putnam. She was
born in 1680. Ann was intelligent, well educated, and had a quick wit. At
the time of the outbreak of witchcraft accusations, Ann was 12 years old.
She was a close fri end of several of the other afflicted girls. Mercy
Lewis, 17, was a servant i n the Putnam house, and Mary Walcott, 17, who
was also afflicted, was perhaps Ann's best friend. Ann, Mary, and Mercy
were among the first villagers outsi De of the Parris household to be
afflicted.
Ann and six other young girls ha d listened as Tituba, Parris's Indian
servant woman, told tales of voodoo and other supernatural events in her
native Barbados. The girls also engaged in fortune telling--concerning,
for example, matters such as what traDe their sw eethearts might have.
During one fortune telling episode, Ann reported seeing a specter in the
likeness of a coffin. After this incident, Ann, Betty Parri s, and Abigail
Williams (the niece and home resident of Parris) began to disp lay strange
symptoms. They complained of pain, would speak in gibberish, beca me
contorted into strange positions, and would crawl under chairs and tables.
After Betty Parris was sent away, Ann and Abigail became the most
active--a s well as the youngest--of the accusers. Ann claimed to have
been afflicted b y sixty-two people. She testified against several in
court and offered many a ffidavits. Her father, Thomas Putnam, was the
chief filer of complaints in th e village, and maintained complete control
over the actions of the two afflic ted girls living in his house. Most of
the afflicted and the accusers were in some way related to the Putnam
family. Ann Putnam Sr., Ann's mother, would a lso become afflicted at
times, and was in court almost as much as her daughte r and servant. The
mother and daughter Ann were a particularly formidable pai r of actors.
People from miles around trooped into the courtroom to watch the ir
performances.
In 1706, Ann offered a public apology for her participation in the witch
trials at Salem. She stood in church while her apology was read : "I
desire to be humbled before God. It was a great delusion of Satan that
deceived me in that sad time. I did not do it out of anger, malice, or
ill-w ill." Ann was the only one of the afflicted girls to make such an
apology. Th ere is some speculation that Ann was as much a victim as those
she accused. S he may have been manipulated by her parents and elders to
achieve their ends.
In 1699, both of Ann's parents died within two weeks of each other. Ann,
19 , was left to raise her nine orphaned brothers and sisters, ranging in
age fr om 7 months to 18 years. Ann never married. She devoted her life to
raising h er siblings. She died in 1716 at the age of 37.
Twelve-year-old Ann Putnam was in many ways the leader of the “circle
girls,” the young girls whose accusat ions sparked the Salem witch trials.
During the winter of 1692, the circle gir ls gathered secretly at Reverend
Parris’s house for evenings of storytelling and magic with the Parris
slave, Tituba. One of the fortune-telling games was to drop an egg white
into a glass of water and see what shape it took. One e vening, Ann saw
the shape of a coffin. Soon afterwards Ann, Betty Parris, and Abigail
Williams started behaving strangely—babbling, convulsing, or staring
blankly.
Once diagnosed as victims of witchcraft, the girls were asked to i dentify
their tormentors. Ann pointed fingers at Sarah Good and Sarah Osburne .
She was also quick to testify against Tituba, claiming an apparition of
t he West Indian woman had “tortured me most grievo

It was not originally our intent to incluDe the Robert Woodward Fa mily in
these Web Pages.  However, we found several Woodward researchers
(o urselves included) occasionally confused between the descendants of
Robert an d Richard Woodward since they carried many of the same given
names.  We are t herefore including our research on the Robert Woodward
Family to try to mitig ate some of the confusion.  We certainly have not
researched this family to t he depth that we have our own ancestor,
Richard Woodward.  We would appreciat e anything anyone can add to these
pages. {email}  We will also happily enter tain any questions as to
sources of information and will try to help clear up any confusion that
still exists.  We are using a different background color for descendants
of this family, so as you page through the site you can diffe rentiate
between the families.
Robert and Richard Woodward were thought to b e brothers.  They were
probably born in Acton Parish, Cheshire, England, and were probably sons
of Edward Woodward.  (See map of England for location.)  T hey are
believed to have immigrated to America with sister and brother-in-law
Thomas and Elizabeth Woodward Eavenson. The principal point of confusion
i n the Robert and Richard Woodward families is that both Robert and
Richard ha d sons named Richard, who were both born about 1673.
Fortunately, the two fam ilies lived in slightly different areas of
Chester County which helps sort th em out.  Robert and his sons originally
lived on Crum Creek in Providence Tow nship, while Richard and his sons
lived on Chester Creek in  Thornbury Townsh ip. Later Richard, son of
Robert, lived in East Bradford and Richard, son of Richard, lived in West
Bradford (see Chester County maps).
J. Gary Woodward, in The Woodward Family of Chester County, Pennsylvania,
gives us the names o f children of Robert Woodward as son Richard and
daughter Ann.  He also consi ders another daughter Hannah, who was buried
25 November 1686 in Acton Parish and was a daughter of "Roberti
Woodward," although it is not certain it is t his Robert Woodward.  Land
records of Chester County, Pennsylvania, give us t wo more names.  On 8
March 1696 Robert Woodward granted to John Powell land o n Crum Creek. The
deed is witnessed by Thomas Woodward.  Another deed on June 11, 1696,
mentions land on Crum Creek bounded by George Woodward.  It appear s that
Thomas and George Woodward were sons of Robert Woodward.  Robert's
o ccupation is given as yeoman in his deed.  We do not know the name of
Robert' s wife.  She did not sign the deeds, but at that very early date
it was not n ecessarily customary for the wife to sign.  She may have been
deceased. Rober t's son Richard is well documented in Quaker records and
in Nayle wills in Ch ester County.
To summarize - Probable Children of Robert Woodward:
Richard Wo odward, born 12/17/1673, Acton Parish, Cheshire, England;
married Mary Nayle, daughter of Henry and Deborah Nayle.
Hannah Woodward died 11/1686, Acton Pari sh, Cheshire, England.
Ann Woodward married George James 7/27/1698, Springfiel d Township,
Chester Co, PA.  Ann died 1720.
George Woodward owned land on Cr um Creek in Providence Township, Chester
County.
Thomas Woodward witnessed d eed when Robert Woodward sold land on Crum
Creek in Providence Township, Ches ter County.
Another deed on 20 March 1711 tells us that Nathaniel Ring sold 15 0
acres of land to Richard Woodward late of Thornbury, yeoman, son of
Rober t Woodward of Birmingham, Tailor.  Henry and Deborah Nayle were
witnesses to this deed (father and mother-in-law of Richard).  This tells
us that this Ric hard also lived in Thornbury at some period in time.
We have no further inform ation on either George or Thomas Woodward.
Another indication that Thomas was a son of Robert is that Richard named
a son Thomas, apparently for this brot her.

The Cary family, in England, is one of the oldest and most noted. The
earliest me mber of this family of whom we have record was Adam De Karri,
Lord of Castle Cary, in the county of Somerset. This castle was a
"Stately Edifice". A villa ge exists there today called Castle Cary. As
early as the reign of Edward I, the name was spelled CARY.
In the Domesday book, late 11th century, Castle Car y is held by Walter de
Douai, a Norman noble holding 37 manors.
Shell and BP GuiDe to Britain, p. 42. Castle Cary. "Capital" of Caryland
- an old yellow- stone town, the home of good cheddar cheese. Note the
little "pepper-box" loc k-up and the remains of the Norman castle.
Colonial and Revolutionary Lineage, Vol. 1, p. 245. Cary and its variant,
Carey, are surnames of locality origin , meaning "of Carey." They are
great west-country surnames. Lower, in his "Pa tronymica Britannica,"
quoting Sir Bernard Burke's "Landed Gentry of Great Br itain and Ireland,"
says: "The ancient family of Cary derives its surname fro m the manor of
Cary or Kari, as it is called in Doomsday Book, lying in the p arish of
St. Giles-on-the-Heath, near Launceston." This parish is in County D evon.
The Cary family of Bristol, England are lineally descended from Adam de
Karin, Lord of Castle Cary in Somerset, in 1198. A confirmation of arms,
g ranted in 1699, sets forth that the branch of that family seated at
Bristol h ad "time out of mind" borne the arms of the family of Cary of
Devonshire. Fro m "Pedigree," registered in 1699 in the Heralds' College,

The earliest reference (12??) to a representative of the De Brienn e
family in England is Guy De Brienne VI of
Brienne-le-Chateau, Champagne, F rance, styled Sir Guy De Bryen I of
England, who settled in South Wales on th e Bay of Carmarthen. According
to the compilationof David C. McMurtry and Mic hael L. Kallan, Sir Francis
Bryan et
Compagne[sic]: Avant et Apres Son Temps (Lexington, KY: Mil-Mac
Publishers, 1994) pp. 26- : "Guy De Brienne (IV), wh o may properly be
called in the English records of this family, Guy De Brien (I), was
probably born in France in about 1200. He is known to have been a
contemporary of Henry De Tracy (1202-1274). He was reared for a military
care er, which was befitting to his status of being a "lackland knight
adventurer, " or a knight without inherited lands or title. He was the
first of the De Br ienne lineage to be identified by name in the records
of England. The primary seat of residence of the early De Brien/Bryan
family in the British Isles ap pears to have been in southern Wales
according to Burke (1883). They are conn ected for 5 generations to
Pembrokeshire and Devonshire. "This family is espe cially associated with
that of Tor Brian, a place named for the Brienne (Brie n) family.
Torrebriene, as it is alternately called, is a geographic place na me in
Devon in southwest England. According to Abstracts of English Records
(1929), "Torbryan" was a "parish, rural deanery o Moreton, archdeaconry
of T otnes and diocese of Exeter." Also connected with this site is
"Talacharn" or Talagharne Castle. "'How?' and 'Why?' Guy De Brien
ventured to and settled i n England and Wales cannot be stated at this
time with any certainty. It is k nown that at about this time there were
other Norman baronial families that s ettled in this territory that was
often hotly contested over by these newcome rs, who fought with the Welsh
inhabitants. King William Rufus, son of William ‘the Conqueror,’ set in
motion during his reign (1087-1100) a 'System of Lor d Marcher's
Conquest.’ In this feudal system of government, the King consider ed
himself the owner of all the land and gave authority to any ‘adventurer
knight,' who had the 'enterprise' to seize any ‘obnoxious district' in
the Ki ng's name and possess it as a fiefdom of his own. As speculated,
this willing ness to resettle and claim the region by force of arms and
with the consent o f the monarch was one way that landless younger sons
could retain their accus tomed life style. The district surrounding the
manor or castle of 'Talacharn' was probably acquired in just this manner
"Nichols (1892) provides the follo wing additional information: ‘A Norman
Lord Marcher of an inferior grade, De Brian by name, afterward took it
[Talacham (Talagharn) Castle up as his stron ghold, and seems to have
become an established resident of the place.’ "This Guy De Brienne,
Sometimes called ‘Guydo De Brian,’ was married in about 1221/ 2, to
Johanne/Jane De la Pole, the daughter of William De la Pole. She is
r eferred to in certain Latin documents as ‘D'na Johanna De Pola,’ the
daughter of 'Dn's Willm's De Pola' as found in The Genealogist of 1920.
The first men tion of 'Guy De Brion’ [subsequent scribal miscopy for
Brien?] – in the court records is found in 1248/9. As stated in The
Calendar of Charter Rolls (1247 -1258), on '15 December, in the 32nd year
of Henry III,' a grant was made to:
'Guy De Brion [sic] and his heirs of a yearly fair of his manor of
Talachar n on the vigil the feast and the morrow of St. Michael.’
"This would mean that he was given permission by the crown to hold a fair
and market that generall y occurred from the 28th through the. 30th of
every September, a lucrative ve nture that coincided with the Autumn
harvest."
"Guy De Brienne/Brien is repo rted to have fought in the wars between
England and France that occurred betw een 1244 and 1266, during the reign
of.King Hen

At his peak Lord of Bramber, Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radno
r, Kington, Limerick and the three castles of Skenfrith, Grosmont (righ
t) and Whitecastle.
William inherited Bramber, Builth and Radnor from his father; Brecknock a
nd Abergavenny through his mother. He was the strongest of the Marcher Lor
ds involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was particu
larly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh princes, their fa
milies and their men which took place during a feast at his castle of Aber
gavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the "Ogre of Abergavenny". O
ne of the Normans' foremost warriors, he fought alongsiDe King Richa
rd at Chalus in 1199 (when Richard received his fatal wound).
William received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was also given custo
dy of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg in return for large payments.
William captured Arthur, Count of Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and w
as in charge of his imprisonment for King John. He was well rewarded in Fe
bruary 1203 with the grant of Gower. He may have had knowledge of the murd
er of Arthur and been bribed to silence by John with the city of Limeri
ck in July. His honours reached their peak when he was made Sheriff of Her
efordshire by John for 1206-7. He had held this office under Richard fr
om 1192 to 1199.
His fall began almost immediately. William was stripped of his office as b
ailiff of Glamorgan and other custodies by King John in 1206/7. Later he w
as deprived of all his lands and, sought by John in Ireland, he return
ed to Wales and joined the Welsh Prince Llewelyn in rebellion. He fl
ed to France in 1210 via Shoreham "in the habit of a beggar" and died in e
xile near Paris. Despite intending to be interred at St. John's, Breco
n, he was buried in the Abbey of St. Victoire, Paris by Stephen Langton, t
he Archbishop of Canterbury, another of John's chief opponents who was al
so taking refuge there. His wife and son William were murdered by John, po
ssibly starved to death at Windsor Castle.

us behavior towards his barons.
William was the son of William de Braose, Third Lord of Bramber and his wi

rd and his wife, formerly Sibyl de Neufmarche. From his father he inherit

Maud (Matilda) De Braose was also known as the Lady of la Haie and to t
he Welsh as Moll Walbee. Married to William De Braose, the "Ogre of Aberga
venny", she was a significant warrior in her own right. Her long defen
ce of Pain's Castle when it was besieged by the Welsh earned it the name "
Matilda's Castle". The local people saw her as a supernatural character. S
he was said to have built Hay Castle (above) single handed in one night, c
arrying the stones in her apron. When one fell out and lodged in her slipp
er she picked it out and flung it to land in St Meilig's churchyard, thr
ee miles away across the River Wye at Llowes. The nine foot high standi
ng stone (left) can still be seen insiDe the church.
The final fall of her husband may owe a lot to her hasty reply to King Jo
hn when he requested her son William as a hostage in 1208. She refus
ed on the grounds that John had murdered his nephew Arthur whom he shou
ld have protected. The dispute between John and the De Braoses led to Ma
ud dying of starvation in the King's castle at Windsor along with her so
n, while her husband, stripped of all his lands, died the following ye
ar in exile in France.

Note.
Matilda's parentage was uncertain for a long time. Many writers have sugge
sted that she may have been a daughter of Reginald De St Valery. I recent
ly discovered a reference to her in L'Histoire des Ducs De Normandie et d
es Rois d'Angleterre, ed. Francisque Michel (Paris, 1840), written in t
he 13th century which describes her as a "daughter of Bernard De St Valery
". This appears to have finally settled the matter.

mandy, and as King of England (1154–1189) and, at various times, controll
ed parts of Wales, Scotland, eastern Ireland, and western France. His sobr
iquets incluDe "Curt Mantle" (because of the practical short cloaks he wor
e), "Fitz Empress," and sometimes "The Lion of Justice," which had also ap
plied to his grandfather Henry I. He ranks as the first of the Plantagen
et or Angevin Kings.
Following the disputed reign of King Stephen, Henry's reign saw efficie
nt consolidation. Henry II has acquired a reputation as one of England's g
reatest medieval kings.
Biography
He was born on 5 March , 1133, at Le Mans to the Empress Matilda and her s
econd husband, Geoffrey the Fair, Count of Anjou. Brought up in Anjo
u, he visited England in 1149 to help his mother in her disputed cla
im to the English throne.
Prior to coming to the throne he already controlled Normandy and Anj
ou on the continent; his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine on May 18, 11
52 added her holdings to his, including Touraine, Aquitaine, and Gascon
y. He thus effectively became more powerful than the king of France — wi
th an empire (the Angevin Empire) that stretched from the Solway Firth alm
ost to the Mediterranean and from the Somme to the Pyrenees. As king, he w
ould make Ireland a part of his vast domain. He also maintained lively com
munication with the Emperor of Byzantium Manuel I Comnenus.
In August 1152, Henry, previously occupied in fighting Eleanor's ex-husba
nd Louis VII of France and his allies, rushed back to her, and they spe
nt several months together. Around the end of November 1152 they parted: H
enry went to spend some weeks with his mother and then sailed for Englan
d, arriving on 6 January 1153. Some historians believe that the couple's f
irst child, William, Count of Poitiers, was born in 1153.
During Stephen's reign the barons had subverted the state of affairs to un
dermine the monarch's grip on the realm; Henry II saw it as his first ta
sk to reverse this shift in power. For example, Henry had castles which t
he barons had built without authorisation during Stephen's reign torn dow
n, and scutage, a fee paid by vassals in lieu of military service, beca
me by 1159 a central feature of the king's military system. Record keepi
ng improved dramatically in order to streamline this taxation.
Henry II established courts in various parts of England, and first institu
ted the royal practice of granting magistrates the power to render legal d
ecisions on a wiDe range of civil matters in the name of the Crown. His re
ign saw the production of the first written legal textbook, providing t
he basis of today's "Common Law".
By the Assize of Clarendon (1166), trial by jury became the norm. Since t
he Norman Conquest jury trials had been largely replaced by trial by orde
al and "wager of battel" (which English law did not abolish until 1819). P
rovision of justice and landed security was further toughened in 1176 wi
th the Assize of Northampton, a build on the earlier agreements at Clarend
on. This reform proved one of Henry's major contributions to the social hi

Eleanor of Aquitaine
Eleanor of Aquitaine (Bordeaux, France, 1124 – March 31, 1204 in Fontevrau
lt, Anjou) was one of the wealthiest and most powerful women in Europe dur
ing the Middle Ages. She was Queen consort of both France and England in h
er lifetime.
Early Life
The eldest of three children, her father was William X, Duke of Aquitain
e, and her mother was Ænor De Châtellerault, the daughter of Aimeric I, Vi
comte of Chatellerault. William and Ænor's marriage had been arranged by h
is father, William IX of Aquitaine the Troubador, and her mother, Dangereu
se, William IX's long-time mistress. Eleanor was named after her mother a
nd called Aliénor, which means other Aenor in the langue d'oc (Occitan lan
guage), but it became Eléanor in the northern Langue d'oïl and in English.
She was raised in one of Europe's most cultured courts, the birthpla
ce of courtly love. She was highly educated for a woman of the time, and k
new how to read, how to speak Latin, was well versed in music and literatu
re, and enjoyed riding, hawking, and hunting. She became heiress to Aquita
ine, the largest and richest of the provinces that would become modern Fra
nce, when her brother, William Aigret, died as a baby.
[edit]
Marriage to Louis VII of France
William X died on Good Friday, 1137 while on a pilgrimage to Spain. Aged 1
5, Eleanor was now Duchess of Aquitaine, and the most eligible heire
ss in Europe. As these were the days when kidnapping an heiress was se
en as a viable option for attaining title, William wrote a will on the ve
ry day he died, instructing that his daughter marry Louis VII of France. T
he marriage, on July 22, 1137, brought to France the area from the river L
oire to the Pyrenees: most of what is today the southwest of France. Howev
er, there was a catch: the land would remain independent of France, and El
eanor's eldest son would be both King of France and Duke of Aquitaine. Thu
s, her holdings would not be merged with France until the next generatio
n. She gave him a wedding present that is still in existence, a rock cryst
al vase on display at the Louvre.
Something of a free spirit, Eleanor was not much liked by the staid northe
rners (particularly, according to sources, her mother-in-law, Adélai
De De Maurienne), who thought her flighty and a bad influence. Her condu
ct was repeatedly criticized by Church elders (particularly Bernard of Cla
irvaux and Abbot Suger) as indecorous. The King, on the other hand, was ma
dly in love with his beautiful and worldly wife, and granted her every whi
m, even though her behavior baffled and vexed him to no end.
[edit]
Crusade
When Eleanor supported her sister Petronilla of Aquitaine's illegitimate m
arriage to Raoul of Vermandois, the incident started a war and caused conf
lict between Eleanor and Louis. She insisted on taking part in the Crusad
es as the feudal leader of the soldiers from her duchy. The story that s
he and her ladies dressed as Amazons is disputed by serious historians. Ho
wever, her testimonial launch of the Second CrusaDe from Vézelay, the rumo
red location of Mary Magdalene's burial, dramatically emphasized the ro
le of women in the campaign, with her, the Queen of France, as their leade
r.
The CrusaDe itself was something of a disaster. Louis was a weak and ineff
ectual military leader with no concept of maintaining troop discipli
ne or morale, or of making informed and logical tactical decisions. The Fr
ench army was betrayed by Manuel I Comnenus, Byzantine Emperor, who fear
ed that their aims would jeopardize the tenuous safety of his empire. A pa
rticularly poor decision to camp one night in a lush valley surround
ed by tall peaks in hostile territory led to an attack by the Turks, who s
laughtered as many as 7000 Crusaders. As this decision was made by Eleanor
's servant, it was generally believed that it was her directive. This d
id nothing for her popularity in Chris

2th century Saint Caradoc of Llancarfan.
1113 - 1151 Geoffrey V Plantagenet 38 38 REFN: 1386AN
REFN: P1386
Geoffrey V (August 24, 1113 – September 7, 1151), Count of Anjou and Main
e, and later Duke of Normandy, called Le Bel ("The Fair") or "Geoffrey Pla
ntagenet", was the father of King Henry II of England, and thus the forefa
ther of the Plantagenet dynasty of English kings.
Geoffrey was the eldest son of Fulk, Count of Anjou and King-Consort of Je
rusalem. Geoffrey's mother was Eremburge of La Flèche, heiress of Maine. G
eoffrey received his nickname for the sprig of broom (= genêt plant, in Fr
ench) he wore in his hat as a badge.
King Henry I of England, having heard good reports on Geoffrey's talents a
nd prowess, sent his royal legates to Anjou to negotiate a marriage betwe
en Geoffrey and his own daughter, Matilda. Consent was obtained from bo
th parties, and the fifteen-year-old Geoffrey was knighted in Rouen by Ki
ng Henry in preparation for the wedding.
During Pentecost 1127, Geoffrey married Empress Matilda, the daughter a
nd heiress of King Henry I of England, by his first wife, Edith of Scotla
nd and widow of Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor. The marriage was meant to se
al a peace between England/Normandy and Anjou. She was eleven years old
er than Geoffrey, and their marriage was a stormy one, but she survived hi
m.
The year after the marriage Geoffrey's father left for Jerusalem (whe
re he was to become king), leaving Geoffrey behind as count of Anjou. Jo
hn of Marmoutier describes Geoffrey as handsome, red-headed, jovial, a
nd a great warrior; however, Ralph of Diceto alleges that his charm concea
led his cold and selfish character.
When King Henry I died in 1135, Matilda at once entered Normandy to cla
im her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England cho
se her cousin Stephen of Blois for its king, and Normandy soon followed su
it. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrieres, Gorron, and Chatilon-sur-
Colmont to Juhel De Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inherita
nce of Geoffrey's wife. In 1139 Matilda landed in England with 140 knight
s, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the "Anarc
hy" which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in February, 1141, and i
mprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Win
chester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Matilda "La
dy of the English". Stephen was subsequently released from prison and h
ad himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation.
During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of t
he Seine, and, on 14 January 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Roue
n. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in the summer of 1144. In 114
4, he founded an Augustine priory at Chateau-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffr
ey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Matilda conjointly ceded it to t
heir son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis V
II of France the following year.
Geoffrey also put down three baronial rebellions in Anjou, in 1129, 113
5, and 1145-1151. He was often at odds with his younger brother, Elias, wh
om he had imprisoned until 1151. The threat of rebellion slowed his progre
ss in Normandy, and is one reason he could not intervene in England. In 11
53, the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of Engla
nd for life and that Henry, the son of Geoffrey and Matilda should succe
ed him.
Geoffrey died suddenly on September 7, 1151, aged forty-one. Accordi
ng to John of Marmoutier, Geoffrey was returning from a royal council wh
en he was stricken with fever. He arrived at Château-du-Loir, collaps
ed on a couch, made bequests of gifts and charities, and died. He was buri
ed at St. Julien's in Le Mans France. Geoffrey and Matilda's children were
:
Henry II of England (1133-1189)

Empress Matilda (1141 AD)
Matilda is the Latin form of Maud, and the name of the only surviving
legitimate child of K ing Henry I. She was born in 1101, generally it is
said at Winchester, but re cent research indicates that she was actually
born at the Royal Palace in Sut ton Courtenay (Berkshire).
In something of a political coup for her father, Ma tilda was betrothed to
the German Emperor, Henry V, when she was only eight. They were married
on 7th January 1114. She was twelve and he was thirty-two. Unfortunately
there were no children and on the Emperor's death in 1125, Mati lda was
recalled to her father's court.
Matilda's only legitimate brother ha d been killed in the disastrous Wreck
of the White Ship in late 1120 and she was now her father's only hope for
the continuation of his dynasty. The baron s swore allegiance to the young
Princess and promised to make her queen after her father's death. She
herself needed heirs though and in April 1127, Matil da found herself
obliged to marry Prince Geoffrey of Anjou and Maine (the fut ure Geoffrey
V, Count of those Regions). He was thirteen, she twenty-three. I t is
thought that the two never got on. However, despite this unhappy
situa tion they had had three sons in four years.
Being absent in Anjou at the time of her father's death on 1st December
1135, possibly due to pregnancy, Matild a was not in much of a position to
take up the throne which had been promised her and she quickly lost out
to her fast-moving cousin, Stephen. With her hu sband, she attempted to
take Normandy. With encouragement from supporters in England though, it
was not long before Matilda invaded her rightful English d omain and so
began a long-standing Civil War from the powerbase of her half-b rother,
Robert of Gloucester, in the West Country.
After three years of arme d struggle, she at last gained the upper hand at
the Battle of Lincoln, in Fe bruary 1141, where King Stephen was captured.
However, despite being declared Queen or "Lady of the English" at
Winchester and winning over Stephen's brot her, Henry of Blois, the
powerful Bishop of Winchester, Matilda alienated the citizens of London
with her arrogant manner. She failed to secure her corona tion and the
Londoners joined a renewed push from Stephen's Queen and laid si ege to
the Empress in Winchester. She managed to escape to the West, but whil e
commanding her rearguard, her brother was captured by the enemy.
Matilda w as obliged to swap Stephen for Robert on 1st November 1141. Thus
the King soo n reimposed his Royal authority. In 1148, after the death of
her half-brother , Matilda finally returned to Normandy, leaving her son,
who, in 1154, would become Henry II, to fight on in England. She died at
Rouen on 10th September 1169 and was buried in Fontevrault Abbey, though
some of her entrails may pos sibly have been later interred in her
father's foundation at Reading Abbey

In addition to these legitimate births , Henry is reported to have had
nineteen or twenty illegitimate children, the highest number of spurious
offspring for a King of England to have acknowled ged. The best known of
them all is Robert the Consul, Earl of Gloucester, fat her of Maud, wife
of Ranulph De Meschines, 2nd Earl of Chester. Another was R eginald, a
natural son from a relationship between Henry I. of England and hi s
mistress, Elizabeth Beaumont, daughter of Robert De Beaumont, Count of
Me ulent and Earl of Leicester, (son of Roger De Beaumont and his wife,
Adelina, Countess of Meulent) and his wife Elizabeth Vermandois, younger
daughter of Hugh Magnus, the Great, of France, Count of Vermandois.
Reginald, married Bea trix, daughter of William Fitz Richard, a potent
lord in Cornwall. They had a daughter, Matilda, who married Robert, Count
of Meulent, son of Waleran II., Count of Meulent, who married Agnes de
Montfor.

REFN: P1390
MALCOLM III., OR CANMORE, KING OF SCOTLAND.—Few sovereigns in the obscu
re and barbarous periods of nations have been more fortunate in their chan
ces of posthumous renown than Malcolm Canmore. He has had Buchanan for h
is historian, and Shakspeare for his eulogist. What the former learn
ed of him from Fordun, and detailed with all the grace and majesty of t
he Roman language, the latter embodied in poetry, and such poetry as wi
ll endure till the end of time. Every age will feel as if Malcolm Canmo
re had lived but yesterday, and was worthy of every inquiry.
He was the son of Duncan, who succeeded to the throne of Scotland by the a
ssassination of his grandfather, Malcolm II. This "gracious Duncan" of t
he great poet appears to have been a soft, easy king, and little fitted f
or the stormy people over whom he was called to rule. Still less does he a
ppear to have been adapted to those difficult trials by which he was quick
ly beset, in the first instance, from the insurrection of Macdonald, o
ne of the powerful thanes of Scotland, who called in the Islesmen to his a
id; and afterwards, from the invasion of the Danes, who tried the barren s
hores of Scotland, after they had wasted to the uttermost the rich coas
ts of France and England. In both cases, however, he was delivered by t
he military prowess of his cousin, Macbeth, who not only quelled the revo
lt of the islanders, but drove the Danes to their shipping with great slau
ghter. To understand aright the importance of these military services of M
acbeth, we should remember that the great question at issue in Scotland n
ow was, what race should finally predominate in the country. So large a po
rtion of what had been England during the heptarchy, had been won and inco
rporated into Scotland, that the Anglo-Saxon race baDe fair to outnumber a
nd surpass the Celtic; and the rebellion of Macdonald was nothing more, pe
rhaps, than one of that long series of trials between the two people
s, in which the Celt finally succumbed. As for the Danish invasion, it mig
ht have ended either in a permanent settlement in Scotland, like that whi
ch had been effected by the Danes in Normandy, or a complete conquest, li
ke that which they had achieved in England, while, in either case, Scotla
nd would have been a sufferer.
After these dangerous conflicts had terminated, Duncan made his eldest so
n, Malcolm, Prince of Cumberland, by which he designated him heir to the S
cottish throne. This appointment, however, was anything but pleasing to Ma
cbeth. Here the reader will remember the predictions of the weird sister
s, which form a very important fact in the strange history of the perio
d. But Macbeth had enough to incite him in his ambitious career independen
tly of witch or prophetess. By the Tanist law of succession, common to t
he Celts of Scotland as well as Ireland, Macbeth, who was the cousin-germ
an of Duncan, should have succeeded to the government on the death of t
he latter, should his son be still a minor; but Duncan, by this moveme
nt in favour of young Malcolm, set asiDe the Tanist law, which had been t
he general rule of Scotland, and precluded Macbeth from all hope of bei
ng king. To be requited for his public services by exclusion from his inhe
ritance, was too much for such an ambitious spirit, while the only chan
ce of remedy was the possible death of Duncan, before Malcolm was old enou
gh to be his father’s successor. We know how such a prospect has paved t
he way to a throne in every nation, whether barbarous or civilized. Dunc
an was assassinated. This foul deed of Macbeth, however, was not committ
ed under trust, and in his own castle, as Shakspeare, for the purpos
es of poetry, has represented; but at Bothgowan (or the Smith’s Dwelling
), near Elgin, by an ambuscaDe appointed for the deed. This event is sa
id to have occurred A.D. 1039. Macbeth immediately placed upon his own he

King Duncan I (Donnchad mac Crínáin) (August 15, 1001 – August 15, 1040) w
as King of Scots, a son of Crinan the Thane De Mormaer, lay abbot of Dunke

ed as rex Cumbrorum in the Kingdom of Strathclyde. His accession is sa
id to be "the first example of inheritance of the Scottish throne in the d
irect line", as opposed to the previous tanistry system.
Duncan was known as Duncan The Gracious, a title that was not entirely com
plimentary. His uncaring approach to matters of state made him unpopular b
oth with his subjects and the nobility. Not a strong ruler, he is chief
ly known today through his connection with King Macbeth, which has been im

ts details, however, are obscure, and the only fact which can be stated wi
th any certainty is that Duncan was slain in battle by Macbeth, near Elgi
n, Moray, on August 15, 1040.
In 1039, Duncan marched south to besiege Durham, Northumbria, England, b
ut was defeated with heavy losses. He also attempted to seize control of M
oray, but was twice defeated by the Earl of Orkney's son, Thorfinn, befo
re being killed in battle. He was killed at Bothnguane and buried at Iona.
Details of Duncan's marital life are a matter of debate among historian
s. The Scottish Regnal List I calls his wife Suthen, and John of Fordun ca
lls her a kinswoman of Siward Biornsson, Earl of Northumbria. The United K

sin.
Two of Duncan's sons, Malcolm III Canmore and Donald Bane, were afterwar
ds kings of the Scots. Another son, Maelmuire, was the father of Maddad, M

Richard I, the Lion-hearted, spent much of his youth in his mother's
c ourt at Poitiers. Richard cared much more for the continental
possessions of his mother than for England - he also cared much more for
his mother than for his father. Family considerations influenced much of
his life: he fought alo ng siDe of his brothers Prince Henry and Geoffrey
in their rebellion of 1173- 4; he fought for his father against his
brothers when they supported an 1183 revolt in Aquitane; and he joined
Philip II of France against his father in 1 188, defeating Henry in 1189.
Richard spent but six months of his ten-year rei gn in England. He acted
upon a promise to his father to join the Third Crusad e and departed for
the Holy Land in 1190 (accompanied by his partner-rival Ph ilip II of
France). In 1191, he conquered Cyprus en route to Jerusalem and pe rformed
admirably against Saladin, nearly taking the holy city twice. Philip II,
in the meantime, returned to France and schemed with Richard's brother
John. The CrusaDe failed in its primary objective of liberating the Holy
Land from Moslem Turks, but did have a positive result - easier access to
the reg ion for Christian pilgrims through a truce with Saladin. Richard
received wor d of John's treachery and decided to return home; he was
captured by Leopold V of Austria and imprisoned by Holy Roman Emperor
Henry VI. The administrativ e machinery of Henry II insured the
continuance of royal authority, as Richar d was unable to return to his
realm until 1194. Upon his return, he crushed a coup attempt by John and
regained lands lost to Philip II during the German captivity. Richard's
war with Philip continued sporadically until the French were finally
defeated near Gisors in 1198.
Richard died April 6, 1199, from a wound received in a skirmish at the
castle of Chalus in the Limousin. Near his death, Richard finally
reconciled his position with his late father, as e videnced by Sir Richard
Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: "The re morse for his
undutifulness towards his father, was living in him till he die d; for at
his death he remembered it with bewailing, and desired to be buried as
near him as might be, perhaps as thinking they should meet the sooner,
that he might ask him forgiveness in another world." Richard's prowess
and co urage in battle earned him the nickname Coeur De Lion ("heart of
the lion"), but the training of his mother's court is revealed in a verse
Richard compose d during his german captivity:
No one will tell me the cause of my sorrow Why they have made me a
prisoner here. Wherefore with dolour I now make my moan; Friends had I
many but help have I none. Shameful it is that they leave me to ransom,
To languish here two winters long.

William, the illegitimate son of the Duke of Normandy, spent his first s
ix years with his mother in Falaise and received t he duchy of Normandy up
on his father's death in 1035. A council consisting of noblemen and Willia
m's appointed guardians ruled Normandy but ducal authority waned under t
he Normans' violent nature and the province was wracked with assassinati
on and revolt for twelve years. In 1047, William reasserted himself in t
he eastern Norman regions and, with the aid of France's King Henry I, crus
hed the rebelling barons. He spent the next several years consolidating h
is strength on the continent through marriage, diplomacy, war and savage i
nti midation. By 1066, Normandy was in a position of virtual independen
ce from William's feudal lord, Henry I of France and the disputed successi
on in England offered William an opportunity for invasion. Edward the Conf
essor attempted to gain Norman support while fighting with his father-in-l
aw, Earl Godwin, by purportedly promising the throne to William in 1051. (
This was either a false claim by William or a hollow promise from Edwar
d; at that time, the kingship was not necessarily hereditary but was appoi
nted by the witan, a council of clergy and barons.) Before his death in 10
66, however, Edward reconciled with Godwin, and the witan agreed to Godwin
's son, Harold, as heir to the crown - after the recent Danish kings, t
he members of the council were anxious to keep the monarchy in Anglo-Sax
on hands. William was enraged and immediately prepared to invade, insisti
ng that Harold had sworn allegiance to him in 106 4. Prepared for batt
le in August 1066, ill winds throughout August and most of September prohi
bited him crossing the English Channel. This turned out to be advantageo
us for William, however, as Harold Godwinson awaited William's pending arr
ival on England's south
shores, Harold Hardrada, the King of Norway, invaded England from the nort
h. Harold Godwinson's forces marched north to defeat the Norse at Stamfo
rd Bridge on September 25, 1066. Two days after the battle, William land
ed unopposed at Pevensey and spent the next two weeks pillaging the area a
nd strengthening his position on the beachhead. The victorious Harol
d, in an attempt to solidify his kingship, took the fight south to Willi
am and the Normans on October 14, 1066 at Hastings. After hours of holdi
ng firm against the Normans, the tired English forces finally succumb
ed to the onslaught. Harold and his brothers died fighting in the Hastin
gs battle, removing any further organized Anglo-Saxon resistance to the No
rmans. The earls and bishops of the witan hesitated in supporting Willia
m, but soon submitted and crowned him William I on Christmas Day 1066. T
he kingdom was immediately besieged by minor uprisings, each one individua
lly and ruthlessly crushed by the Normans, until the whole of England w
as conquered and united in 1072. William punished rebels by confiscating t
heir lands and allocating them to the Normans. Uprisings in the northern c
ounties near York were quelled by an artificial famine brought about by No
rman destruction of food caches and farming implements. The arrival and co
nquest of William and the Normans radically alte red the
course of English history.

Supposed father: Rognvaldr, jarl of Møre.
Supposed mother: Ragnhi ldr or Hildr.
The origin of Rollo is contraversial. There are several medieval sources
which claim to give information about the origin of Rollo, the most
widely repeated of which would make him a son of Rognvaldr, jarl of Møre
by Ragnhildr or Hildr. As can be seen from the following brief notices,
the var ious primary sources offer very contradictory information about
Rollo's origi n.
The earliest author to attribute an explicit origin to Rollo was Richer
o f Rheims, writing between 996 and 998, who called Rollo the son of
another Vi king invader of France named Catillus (presumably representing
the Norse name Ketil) [Richer i, 28 (see PL 138: 35)]. Since Catillus
appears to be a legen dary individual, this account has generally been
discredited, probably correc tly [see Douglas 420-1].
According to Dudo of St. Quentin (writing early 11th century), author of
the earliest history of the Normans, Rollo had a younger brother named
Gurim, presumed to be the familiar name Gorm. Dudo states that Rollo and
Gurim were sons of a man who held many lands in "Dacia" (Dudo's wor d for
Denmark, following other authors), and that after the death of the
(u nnamed) father of Rollo and Gurim, the king of Dacia fought against the
sons, killing Gurim and driving Rollo out [Dudo ii, 2-4 (pp. 26-7)]. Dudo
later re fers to duke Richard I as being related to a "king of Dacia"
named Haigrold [ Dudo iv, 84-88 (pp. 114-20 passim)], who must have been
the Viking raider of France of that name [Flodoard's Annals, s.a. 945,
see PL 135: 463-4, van Hout s 51], and not king Harald "Bluetooth" of
Denmark. Note that Gurim cannot be the famous Gorm "the Old" of Denmark,
who survived Rollo by many years.
Will iam of Malmesbury (early 12th century) appears to be the earliest
author to a ttribute a Norwegian origin to Rollo [WM ii, 5 (p. 125)].
As is well known, th e Orkneyinga Saga (late twelfth century) [OrkS 4 (pp.
29-30)], followed by ot her Icelandic sources (such as the well known
Heimskringla and Landnámabók), gives Rollo the name Hrólfr, and make him
a son of Rognvaldr, jarl of Møre, a nd brother of (among others) jarl
Torf-Einarr of the Orkneys [OI 1: 187]. Ear lier sources, such as Ari's
Íslendingabók (early to middle 12th century), men tion Rognvald of Møre
and his son Hrollaugr who settled in Iceland, but not t he supposed
connection to the dukes of Normandy [Ari 49, 61]. A poem allegedl y
written by Einar mentions his brothers, including a Hrólfr, but does not
connect Hrólfr to Normandy, and does not name a Gorm among the brothers.
(See the page on Rognvaldr for more on this poem.)
Historia Gruffud vab Kenan (ca. 1250), apparently a Welsh translation
and/or revision of an earlier Latin li fe of Gruffudd ap Cynan, gives
Haraldr Hárfagri of Norway ("Harald Harfagyr") a brother named Rodulf
(i.e., the Latin form of Hrólfr) who is called the fo under of Normandy
[HGK, 3-4]. However, this is evidently a corrupt version of the
Scandinavian version, and the suggestion that Rollo was a brother of
H araldr Hárfagri need not be given any credence.
The most prominent argument of the case for accepting the Scandinavian
account that Rollo was the same pers on as Hrólfr, son of Rognvaldr of
Møre, was given by D. C. Douglas [Douglas 4 19-23], and those who accept
this identification have generally followed the same arguments. On the
other side, arguments against the identification were given by Viggo
Starcke in his book Denmark in World History [Starcke 222-7].
Most of the argument of Douglas consists of accepting the tale of the
sagas and rejecting evidence from the Norman sources which contradict the
saga vers ion, while explaining away the problems (on which more below).
The evidence w hich Douglas puts forward as "a powerful, if not a
conclusive, argument in fa vor of the identity of Rollo

Herleva, the daughter of a tanner from Falaise in Normandy, was bo rn in
1010. When she was sixteen gave birth to a son called Richard. The boy' s
father was Gilbert, Count of Brionne, one of the most powerful landowners
in Normandy. As Herleva was not married to Gilbert, the boy became known
as Richard Fitz Gilbert. The term 'Fitz' was used to show that Richard
was the i llegitimate son of Gilbert.
The following year, Herleva became the mistress of Robert, Duke of
Normandy. In 1028, Herleva and Robert had a son who eventual ly became
known as William, Duke of Normandy. Instead of marrying Herleva, Ro bert
persuaded her to marry his friend, Herluin of Conteville. After marriage ,
Herleva had three more children, Odo, Robert and Muriel. Later the sons
b ecame known as Odo of Bayeux and Robert of Mortain.
In 1035, Robert, Duke of N ormandy died. Although William was
illegitimate, he was Robert's only living son, and so inherited his
father's title. Gilbert, Count of Brionne, became W illiam's guardian. A
number of Norman barons would not accept an illegitimate son as their
leader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The plo t failed
but they did manage to kill Gilbert of Brionne.
Gilbert of Brionne' s large estates in Normandy were now passed on to his
legitimate son, Baldwin of Flanders. As Richard Fitz Gilbert was
illegitimate, he did not receive ve ry much land when his father died.
When William, Duke of Normandy, decided to invaDe England in 1066, he
invited his three half-brothers, Richard Fitz Gil bert, Odo of Bayeux and
Robert of Mortain to join him. Richard, who had marri ed Rohese, daughter
of Walter Giffard of Normandy, also brought with him memb ers of his
wife's family.

Born in 989 and succe eded his father in April 1016. In this year he foug
ht six battles, but throug h treachery he was completely overthrown at Ass
andun, in Essex. He and Canute the Dane agreed to diviDe the kingdom. He w
as chosen king of England by the Londoners on his father's death, April, 1
016, while Canute was elected at Sou thampton by the Witan. Edmund hasti
ly levied an army in the west, defeated Canute twice, raised the sie
ge of London, and again routed the Danes. Levying a fresh army, he defeat
ed them at Otford, his last victory. At Ashingdon in Essex, after a
desperate fight, he was routed. By compromise with Canute, the latter reta
ined Mercia and Northumbria, Edmund all the south and the headship, the su
rvivor to succeed to the whole. A few weeks later Edmund died, in 1016, a
nd Canute became King of England without a rival. It is said that
the traitorous Edric Streona perhaps murdered Edmund on November 30, 101
6, shortly after peace was made. Edmund II. married Ealgyth (Algitha),
widow of Sigefrith the Dane. She died in 1014. Edmund II, Ironside (1016 A
D) Edmund was King of England for only a few months. After the death of hi
s
father, Æthelred II, in April 1016, Edmund led the defense of the ci
ty of London against the invad ing Knut Sveinsson (Canute), and was procla
imed
king by the Londoners. Meanwhile, the Witan (Council), meeting at Southamp
ton, chose Canute as King. After a series of inconclusive military engagem
ents, in which Edmund performed bri lliantly and earned the nickname "Iron
side", he defeated the Danish forces at Oxford, Kent, but was routed by Ca
nute's forces at Ashingdon, Essex. A subsequent peace agreement was mad
e, with Edmund controlling Wessex and Canute controlling Mercia and Northu
mbria. It was also agreed that whoever survived the other would take contr
ol of the whole realm. Unfortunately for Edmund, he died in November, 101
6, transferring the Kingship of All England completely to Canute.
Edmund II or Eadmund II (c. 988/993 – November 30, 1016), King of Engla
nd from April 23 to November 30, 1016, was surnamed "Ironside" for his eff
orts to fend off the Danish invasion led by King Canute.
Edmund was the second son of King Æthelred II and his first wife, Ælfla
ed of Northumbria. He had three brothers, the elder being Æthelstan, and t
he younger two being Ædred and Ecgbert. His mother was dead by 996, and h
is father remarried twice more.
Æthelstan died in 1014, leaving Edmund as heir. A power-struggle began bet
ween Edmund and his father, and in 1015 King Æthelred had two of Edmund
's allies, Sigeferth and Morcar, executed. Edmund then took Morcar's wido
w, Ældgyth, from the nunnery where she had been imprisoned and married h
er in defiance of his father. During this time, Canute the Great attack
ed England with his forces.
Æthelred II, who had earlier been stricken ill, died on April 23, 1016. Ed
mund succeeded to the throne, with little support from the London nobilit
y. Canute, however, enjoyed greater support throughout England, especial
ly from the Southampton nobility.
When Edmund forcefully recovered Wessex from Canute’s previous invasi
on in 1015, Canute responded by laying siege to London; however, Edmund
’s defence was successful. Despite the victory, conflict continued until E
dmund was defeated, but not killed, on October 18 by Canute at Ashingd
on in Essex. (See Battle

Ethelred the Unready (c. 968 – April 23, 1016), also known as Ethelr
ed II and Æþelred Unræd, was King of England (978–1013, and 1014–1016).
According to William of Malmesbury, Ethelred defecated in the baptismal fo
nt as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarc
hy would be overthrown during his reign. This story is, however, almost ce
rtainly a fabrication.
Ethelred succeeded to the throne aged about ten following the death of h
is father King Edgar and subsequent murder of his half-brother Edward t
he Martyr. His nickname "The Unready" does not mean that he was ill-prepar
ed, but derives from the Anglo-Saxon unræd meaning "poorly counselle
d" or "indecisive". This could also be interpreted as a pun on his name, Æ
þelræd, which may be understood to mean "noble counsel" in Old English.
Ethelred married firstly to Ælflaed, daughter of Thored, the ealdorm
an of Northumbria; she was the mother of four sons; Æthelstan Ætheling (di
ed 1011), Edmund Ironside, Ecgberht Ætheling and Eadred Ætheling.
In 997, he remarried to Ælfgifu, daughter of ealdorman Æthelberht, who ga
ve him two sons, Eadwig Ætheling (killed 1017) and Eadgar Ætheling the Eld
er.
His third and final marriage, in 1002, was to Emma of Normandy, whose gran
dnephew, William I of England, would later use this relationship as the ba
sis of his claim on the throne. They had two sons, Eadweard (later Ki
ng of England and known now as Edward the Confessor) and Ælfred Ætheling.
He also had as many as eight daughters by his three marriages.
England had experienced a long period of peace after the reconquest of t
he Danelaw in the first half of the 10th century. However, in 991 Ethelr
ed was faced with a Viking fleet larger than any since Guthrum the Old's "
Summer Army" a century earlier. This fleet was led by Olaf Trygvasson, a N
orwegian with ambitions to reclaim the Danelaw for his country. After init
ial military setbacks including the defeat of his ealdorman Byrhtnoth at t
he Battle of Maldon, Ethelred was able to come to terms with Olaf, who ret
urned to Norway to gain his kingdom with mixed success. While this arrange
ment won him some respite, England faced further depredations from Viki
ng raids. Ethelred fought these off, but in many cases followed the practi
ce of earlier kings including Alfred the Great in buying them off by payme
nt of what was to become known as Danegeld.
Ethelred ordered the massacre of the Danes living in England on St Brice
's Day (November 13) 1002 (as described in the chronicles of John of Walli
ngford), in response to which Sweyn Haraldsson started a series o

EDGAR (r. 959-975)
Edgar, king in Mercia and the Danelaw from 957, succeeded his brother as k
ing of the English on Edwy's death in 959. His death probably prevented ci
vil war breaking out between the two brothers.
Edgar was a firm and capable ruler whose power was acknowledged by other r
ulers in Britain, as well as by Welsh and Scottish kings.
Edgar's late coronation in 973 at Bath was the first to be recorded in so
me detail; his queen Aelfthryth was the first consort to be crowned que
en of England.
Edgar was the patron of a great monastic revival which owed much to his as
sociation with Archbishop Dunstan. New bishoprics were created, Benedicti
ne monasteries were reformed and old monastic sites were re-endowed with r
oyal grants, some of which were of land recovered from the Vikings.
In the 970s and in the absence of Viking attacks, Edgar - a stern jud
ge - issued laws which for the first time dealt with Northumbria (par
ts of which were in the Danelaw) as well as Wessex and Mercia. Edgar's coi
nage was uniform throughout the kingdom. A more united kingdom based on ro
yal justice and order was emerging.
The Monastic Agreement (c.970) praised Edgar as 'the glorious, by the gra
ce of Christ illustrious king of the English and of the other peoples dwel
ling within the bounds of the island of Britain'.
After his death on 8 July 975, Edgar was buried at Glastonbury Abbey, Some
rset.
King Edgar or Eadgar I (c. 942 – July 8, 975) was the younger son of Ki
ng Edmund I of England. He won the nickname, "the Peaceable", but in fa
ct was a stronger king than his elder brother, Edwy, from whom he took t
he kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia in 958. Edgar was acclaimed king nor
th of the Thames by a conclave of Mercian nobles in 958, but officially su
cceeded when Edwy died in October 959. Immediately Edgar recalled Dunst
an (eventually canonised as St. Dunstan) from exile and made him successiv
ely Bishop of Worcester, then of London and finally Archbishop of Canterbu
ry, The allegation that Dunstan at first refused to crown Edgar becau
se he disapproved of his way of life, is a discreet reference in popular h
istories to Edgar's mistress Wulfthryth, (later a nun at Wilton) who bo
re him a daughter Eadgyth in 961. Dunstan remained Edgar's advisor through
out his reign, nevertheless.
Edgar's reign was a peaceful one, and it is probably fair to say that it s
aw the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the English at its height. Although other pr
evious kings have been recorded as the founders of 'England', it was Edg
ar who consolidated this. By the end of Edgar's reign there was little cha
nce of it receding back into its constituent parts, as it had beg
un to do during the reign of Edwy.
The Monastic Reform Movement that restored the Benedictine Rule to England
's undisciplined monastic communities saw its height during the time of Du

and subdued them in Cumbria and Strathc lyde. He entrusted these lands to
an ally, Malcolm I of Scotland. Edmund met his death when he was killed
at Pucklechurch, in Gloucestershire, by a robber.
EDMUND I (r. 939-946)
When Athelstan died without immediate successors, his half brother Edmu
nd successfully suppressed rebellions by the Mercian Danes. Edmund I was m
urdered at a feast in his own hall, at the age of 25 in 946, after only se
ven years on the throne, and his brother Edred succeeded him.
Edmund I ( or Eadmund, 921 – May 26, 946), called the Elder, the Deed-Doe
r, or the Magnificent, was King of England from 939 until his death. He w
as a son of Edward the Elder and half-brother of Athelstan.
Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Edmund succeeded him as King. Short
ly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threat
s. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. W
hen Olaf died in 942 Edmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became t
he god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Edmund was successful in recon
quering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his thro
ne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Ol
af Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Edmund conq
uered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malco
lm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military supp
ort. Edmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relatio
nships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in Engl
and began.
Edmund was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been havi
ng a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After t
he outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmu
nd and Leofa were both killed. He was succeeded as king by his brother Edr
ed, king from 946 until 955.
Edmund's sons later ruled England as:
Edwy of England, King from 955 until 957, king of only Wessex and Kingd
om of Kent from 957 until his death on October 1, 959.
Edgar of England, king of only Mercia and Northumbria from 957 until his b

Alfred, the Great
(871-900 AD)
Youngest son of King Æthelwulf, A lfred became King of Wessex during a
time of constant Viking attack. He was d riven into hiding by a Viking
raid into Wessex, led by the Dane, Guthorm, and took refuge in the
Athelney marshes in Somerset. There, he recovered suffici ent strength to
be able to defeat the Danes decisively at the Battle of Eddin gton. As a
condition of the peace treaty which followed, Guthorm received Chr istian
baptism and withdrew his forces from Wessex, with Alfred recognizing t he
Danish control over East Anglia and parts of Mercia. This partition of
E ngland, called the "Danelaw", was formalized by another treaty in 886.
Alfred created a series of fortifications to surround his kingdom and
proviDe needed security from invasion. The Anglo-Saxon word for these
forts, "burhs", has c ome down to us in the common place-name suffix,
"bury." He also constructed a fleet of ships to augment his other
defenses, and in so doing became known a s the "Father of the English
Navy." The reign of Alfred was known for more th an military success. He
was a codifier of law, a promoter of education and a suppor|er of the
arts. He, himself, was a scholar and translated Latin books into the
Anglo-Saxon tongue. The definitive contemporary work on Alfred's lif e is
an unfinished account in Latin by Asser, a Welshman, bishop of Sherbourn e
and Alfred's counsellor. After his death, he was buried in his capital
ci ty of Winchester, and is the only English monarch in history to carry
the tit le, "the Great."

King Alfred (849 - 899)
Known as King Alfred (Aelfred) the Great, or King of Wessex, he became
ruler of the West Saxons after he an d his brother defeated the Danes in
the Battle of Ashdown in Berkshire - the later death of his brother
Ethelred left Alfred as successor in 871. He has t he reputation of being
a great warrior as well as a social reformer who built towns and promoted
education by starting schools and translating texts from Latin. He is
considered the first King of England.
Although the Danes were d efeated at Ashdown, the West Saxons were forced
to negotiate and pay tribute after losing further battles. But Alfred
refused to surrender and in 878, he rallied men from Somerset and
Wiltshire and again defeated the Danes in the B attle of Edington. The
Danes made peace and Guthrum, their king, was baptised with Alfred as his
sponsor. By 886, Alfred had freed London from Danish occu pation and a
treaty was made with Guthrum and the East Anglians. England was divided,
with the east (between the Rivers Thames and Tees) declared to be Da nish
territory - later known as the 'Danelaw' - where English and Danes were
treated as equals by law.

REFN: P1437
Æthelwulf was the son of Egbert and a sub-king of Kent. He assumed the thr
one of Wessex upon his father's death in 839. His reign is characteriz
ed by the usual Viking invasions and repulsions common to all English ru
le rs of the time, but the making of war was not his chief claim to fam
e. Æthelwulf is remembered, however dimly, as a highly religious man who c
ared about t he establishment and preservation of the church. He was al
so a wealthy man and controlled vast resources. Out of these resource
s, he gave generously, to Rome and to religious houses that were in need.
He was an only child, but had fathered five sons, by his first wife, Osbur
ga. He recognized that there could be difficulties with contention over t
he succession. He devised a scheme w hich would guarantee (insofar as it w
as possible to do so) that each child wo uld have his turn on the throne w
ithout having to worry about rival claims fr om his siblings. Æthelwulf pr
ovided that the oldest living child would succee d to the throne and wou
ld control all the resources of the crown, without having them divided amo
ng the others, so that he would have adequate resources to rule. That he w
as able to proviDe for the continuation of his dynasty is a matter of reco
rd, but he was not able to guarantee familial harmony with his plan. Th
is is proved by what we know of the foul plottings of his son, Æthelbal
d, while Æthelwulf was on pilgrimage to Rome in 855. Æthelwulf was a wi
se and capable ruler, whose vision made possible the beneficial reign of h
is you ngest son, Alfred the Great.
ETHELWULF (r. 839-856)
Ethelwulf was the son of Egbert. He succeeded his father in 839. At Ethelw
ulf's request, his four sons each became king in turn rather than risk wea
kness in the kingdom by allowing young children to inherit the mantle of l
eadership.

Egbert (802-39 AD)
Known as the first King of All England, he was forced into exile at the co
urt of Charlemagne, by the powerful Offa, King of Mercia. Egbert return
ed to England in 802 and was recognized as king of Wess ex. He defeated t
he rival Mercians at the battle of Ellendun in 825. In 829, the Northumbri
ans accepted his overlordship and he was proclaimed "Bretwalda" or sole ru
ler of Britain.
Egbert (also Ecgbehrt or Ecgbert) (c. 770 — July 839) was King of Wessex f
rom 802 until his death. Under Egbert, Wessex rose to become the most powe
rful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, overthrowing the supremacy of Mercia.
A somewhat difficult question has arisen as to the parentage of Egbert. Un
der the year 825, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that in his eastern con
quests Egbert recovered what had been the rightful property of his kin. T
he father of Egbert was called Ealhmund, and we find an Ealhmund, ki
ng in Kent, mentioned in a charter dated 784, who is identified with Egber
t's father in a late addition to the Chronicle under the date 784. It is p
ossible, however, that the Chronicle in 825 refers to some claim through I
ne of Wessex from whose brother Ingeld Egbert was descended.
After the murder of King Cynewulf in 786, Egbert may have contested the su
ccession, but the throne went to Beorhtric, an ally of Offa of Mercia. Sta
rting probably in 789, Egbert went into exile after being expelled by Of
fa and Beorhtric. He spent this exile with the Franks on the continent, a
nd although it is said to have lasted three years, some historians have su
ggested that this period may have actually lasted thirteen years (789–802
), as this would account for Egbert's whereabouts during the whole peri
od preceding Beorhtric's death.
Beorhtric ruled subject to the Mercian kings (Offa and, from 796, Coenwulf
), and Egbert probably sought greater independence for Wessex. He was ackn
owledged as king by the West Saxons following Beorhtric's death in 802, b
ut on the same day as his accession to the throne, Ælthelmund, earl of t
he Hwicce, led a raid into Wessex. Ælthelmund was defeated and killed by W
eoxtan, earl of Wiltshire, who also lost his life in the battle.
In 815 Egbert ravaged the whole of the territories of the West Welsh, whi
ch probably at this time did not incluDe much more than Cornwall; it is pr
obably from his reign that Cornwall can be considered subject to Wessex. T
he next important occurrence in the reign was the defeat of Beornwulf of M
ercia at a place called Ellandun in 825. After this victory, Kent, Surre
y, Sussex and Essex submitted to Wessex; while the East Anglians, who ro
se against Mercian rule and slew Beornwulf shortly afterwards, acknowledg
ed Egbert as overlord. In 829 the king conquered Mercia, and Northumbria a
ccepted him as overlord after refusing to fight his forces at Dore (n
ow a suburb of Sheffield). In 830 he led a successful expedition against t
he Welsh, and it was in the same year that Mercia regained its independen
ce under Wiglaf, although it is uncertain whether this was achieved throu
gh a rebellion or was the result of a grant by Egbert to Wiglaf. In 836 Eg
bert was defeated by the Danes, but in 838 he won a battle against them a
nd their allies the West Welsh at Hingston Down in Cornwall.
Egbert married Redburga, a Frankish princess (possibly a sister-in-l
aw of the emperor Charlemagne), and had two sons and a daughter. Egbert di
ed in about 839, and was buried at Winchester. He was succeeded by his so
n, King Ethelwulf of Wessex.
EGBERT, KING OF WESSEX (r. 802-839)
As King of Wessex, Egbert inherited the mantle of 'bretwalda' - an Anglo-S
axon term meaning a ruler with overall superiority to other rulers - aft
er the decline of Mercian power under Offa. He came to power in 802 and di
ed in 839, but little else is known about his brief reign.

John fitz Gilbert was the father of William Marshal Earl of Pembro ke.
John was the son of Gilbert, the marshal of the royal household of King
Henry I. The office of the marshal was part of the Curia, with a deputy
in t he Exchequer and one in the King's Bench, as well as one in the Court
of the Marshalsea of the King's household. The office was subordinate to
the office of constable of the royal household.. The office was
responsible for everythi ng connected to the horses of the royal
household, the hawks and the hounds a s well. He had the general duty of
keeping order in the royal court/household , arranging for the billeting
of members of the court, keeping tallies and ot her vouchers of the
expenditures of the household, keeping rolls of all who p erformed their
military service there, and being responsible for the imprison ment of
debtors. The "Constitutio Domus Regis" gives the duties of the master
marshal for King Henry I.
Both John and his father are found in the king’s court before 1130 where
they maintained [probably by trial by battle] their o ffice of master of
the king’s marshalsea against William De Hastings and Robe rt De Venoiz.
On the pipe roll of 1130 John is found paying twenty-two pounds for
seisin to his father’s lands and ministerium and forty marks for the
o ffice of marshal of the court. In this same year John married the
daughter an d heiress of Walter Pipard, a minor Wiltshire landholder. John
was a loyal an d trusted royal official and attested to at least twelve
royal acts of Henry I between 1129-1135, most of them in England but some
in Normandy.
When Step hen (depicted right) took the English throne on the death of
Henry I in 1135, John continued to serve in the office of marshal and
accompanied Stephen to Normandy in 1137. In 1138 John took possession of
the castles of Marlborough and Ludgershall in Wiltshire as castellan and
proceeded to strengthen both. D uring the early years of the war between
King Stephen and the Empress Mathild a, John was more or less content to
wait and watch, increasing the number of knights bound to him and
fortifying his castles. He used his position in Wilt shire to attack and
ravage the lands of those opposing King Stephen, though a ccording to some
of the chronicles of the times, John was not too particular about whom he
attacked.
Below: Lincoln Castle
In February 1141, King Stephe n was captured at the battle of Lincoln by
Robert of Gloucester, natural brot her to the Empress. This event
apparently convinced John that he should be on the Empress’s siDe in the
civil war, and he actively supported her from this time forward. John was
with the Empress at Reading in May, Oxford in July, a nd at the siege of
Winchester in August 1141. When Henry of Blois, bishop of Winchester and
brother to King Stephen, brought troops to relieve the siege o f
Winchester, it was decided that the Empress would flee to John’s castle
o f Ludgershall with John while Robert of Gloucester continued the battle.
At t he village of Wherwell, John sent the Empress on to his castle with
Brian fit z Count, and he stayed with some men to defend her retreat at
the River Test. At the end of this struggle at the river, only John and
one of his knights w ere left standing. They retreated to the church of
Wherwell Abbey, and the en emy set fire to it. The enemy departed from
Wherwell thinking that John had p erished, but he survived and made it to
his castle of Marlborough, losing one eye from melting iron in the fire.
The rising and falling fortunes of neither siDe in this civil war greatly
effected fitz Gilbert’s prosperity; he used h is position and his castles
in Wiltshire to continue to attack the lands of S tephen’s supporters. One
of his frequent victims was Patrick constable of Sal isbury, who was King
Stephen’s man. After several years of this warfare, both men had had
enough of the deprivations resulti

William De Albini (d'Aubigny), III, su rnamed "William with the strong
hand," from the following circumstance, as re lated by William Dugdale:
"It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very
beautiful woman, became much in love with a knight from an other country,
who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth; and b ecause she
thought that no man excelled him in valor, she caused a tournament to be
proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who sho uld
exercise themselves therein, according to their respective abilities; and
concluded that if the person whom she so well affected should act his
part better than others in those military exercises, she might marry him
without any dishonor to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from
foreign parts hast ing to Paris, amongst others came this our William de
Albini, bravely accoute red, and in the tournament excelled all others,
overcoming many, and wounding one mortally with his lance, which being
observed by the queen, she became e xceedingly enamored of him, and
forthwith invited him to a costly banquet, an d afterwards bestowing
certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage; but, ha ving plighted his
troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her , whereat she
grew so discontented that she consulted with her maids how she might take
away his life; and in pursuance of that design, enticed him into a
garden, where there was a secret cave, and in it a fierce lion, unto
which she descended by divers steps, under color of showing him the
beast; and whe n she told him of its fierceness, he answered, that it was
a womanish and not a manly quality to be afraid thereof. But having him
there, by the advantage of a folding door, thrust him to the lion; being
therefore in this danger, h e rolled his mantle about his arm, and putting
his hand into the mouth of the beast, pulled out his tongue by the root;
which done, he followed the queen to her palace, and gave it to one of
her maids to present her. Returning ther eupon to England, with the fame
of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith ad vanced to the Earldom of
Arundel, and for his arms the Lion given him."
He s ubsequently married Adeliza of Lorraine, Queen of England, widow of
King Henr y I., and the daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine. Adeliza had
the castle o f Arundel in dowry from her deceased husband, the monarch,
and thus her new l ord became its feudal earl, 1st Earl of Arundel in this
family. The earl was one of those who solicited the Empress Maud to come
to England, and received her and her brother Robert, Earl of Gloucester,
at the port of Arundel, in Au gust 1139, and in three years afterwards
(1142), in the report made of King S tephen's taking William De Mandeville
at St. Albans, it is stated "that befor e he could be laid hold on, he
underwent a sharp skirmish with the king's par ty, wherein the Earl of
Arundel, though a stout and expert soldier, was unhor sed in the midst of
the water by Walceline De Oxeai, and almost drowned."
In 1150, he wrote himself Earl of Chichester, but we find him styled
again Earl of Arundel, upon a very memorable occasion, namely, the
reconciliation of He nry, Duke of Normandy, afterwards King Henry II., and
King Stephen at the sie ge of Wallingford Castle in 1152. "It was scarce
possible," says Rapin, "for the armies to part without fighting.
Accordingly the two leaders were prepari ng for battle with equal ardor,
when, by the prudent advice of the Earl of Ar undel, who was on the king's
side, they were prevented from coming to blows." A truce and peace
followed this interference of the earl's, which led to the subsequent
accession of Henry after Stephen's decease, in whose favor the ea rl stood
so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the cast le
and honor of Arundel, but a confirmation of

Gilbert De Clare was the son of Richard Fitz Gilbert, was born in 1066.
He later married Adeliz, the daughter of Hugh of Clermont.
Gilbert, li ke his father, took part in the rebellion against William
Rufus in 1088. Afte r a two day siege at Tonbridge Castle, the Clare
family was forced to surrend er to the king's forces. The was punished by
having his castle and the town o f Tonbridge burnt to the ground. Richard
Fitz Gilbert was also forced to live in a monastery where he died three
years later.
Gilbert was allowed to keep the family estates and in June 1095 fought
with William Rufus against the Sc ots. He is also believed to have taken
part in William's military campaigns i n Wales and Normandy.
On 2nd August 1100, William Rufus went hunting at Brocke nhurst in the New
Forest. Gilbert and his younger brother, Roger of Clare, we re with the
king. Another man in the hunting party was Walter Tirel, who was married
to Richard De Clare's daughter, Adelize. Also present was William Ruf us'
younger brother Henry. During the hunt, Walter Tirel fired an arrow at a
stag. The arrow missed the animal and hit William Rufus in the chest.
Withi n a few minutes the king was dead. Tirel jumped on his horse and
made off at great speed. He escaped to France and never returned again to
England.
Most people expected Robert Curthose to become king. However, his younger
brother Henry Beauclerk decided to take quick action to gain the throne.
As soon as h e realised William Rufus was dead, Henry rushed to Winchester
where the gover nment's money was kept. After gaining control of the
treasury, Henry declared he was the new king. Supported by the Clares,
Henry was crowned king on 5th August. Although Robert threatened to
invaDe England, he eventually agreed to do a deal with Henry. In return
for an annual payment of £2,000, Robert acce pted Henry as king of England
.
King Henry I generously rewarded the Clare fami ly for their loyalty.
Although Walter Tirel never returned to England, his so n was allowed to
keep his father's estates. Some people suspected that Henry and the Clare
family had planned the murder of William Rufus. Others accepted that
William Rufus' death was an accident. Whatever the truth of the matter,
the Clare family obtained considerable benefit from the death of William
R ufus.
In 1107 Gilbert led an army into Wales. After defeating Cadogan King
H enry I allowed him to take control of Cardigan. It is also believed that
Gilb ert became lord marcher of Striguil.
Gilbert De Clare was the father of three sons, Richard, Earl of Hertford,
Gilbert, Earl of Pembroke and Walter De Clar e. He also had a daughter,
Rohaise, who married Baderon De Monmouth. Gilbert De Clare died in 1115.
Son of Richard Fitz Gilbert and Rohese Giffard. Succeeded to his fathers p
ossessions in England, his brother, Roger Fitz Richard, succeeding to h
is father's lands in Normandy.
He was granted lands and the Lordship of Cardigan by Henry I, including Ca
rdigan Castle. He founded the Priory at Clare. Supposedly present at the s
uspicious death of William II in 1100. Fathered nine children, two of wh
om became peers of the realm.

REFN: 1506AN
REFN: P1506
In a room of the Tower of London in August 1189, two people who were
about to be married met for the first time. This twist of fate or act of
destiny would have a far-reaching effect on English history. The young
lad y was Isabel De Clare, sole heiress of Richard Strongbow De Clare,
Earl of Pe mbroke and Striguil, and Aoife, daughter of Dermot MacMurrough,
King of Leins ter. The man was William Marshal, the second son of John the
Marshal and Siby l, sister of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury. There are no
accounts of this first meeting nor of their marriage ceremony, but this
was the final step in the ma king of one of the greatest knights and
magnates of medieval English history.
William Marshal's life is well documented because less than a year after
hi s death in 1219, his eldest son William II commissioned a record of his
fathe r's life. "L' Historie De Guillaume le Marechal," is a metrical
history of a man and of the knightly class in the late twelfth and early
thirteenth centur y. Little is known about the writer of "L' Historie"
except that his first na me was Jean, that he personally witnessed some of
the events in Marshal's lat er life, and that he had access to Marshal's
squire John D'Erley. The point o f view is that of the secular knightly
class and not of the ecclesiastical cl ass. The events recorded in "L'
Historie" can be verified in most instances b y the official records in
the Pipe Rolls, Charter Rolls, Close Rolls, Patent Rolls, Oblatis Rolls,
and chronicles of the times.
William Marshal was born c 1146, and as a younger son, becoming a knight
was his natural choice of a p ath to success and survival. Marshal was
sent to his father's cousin William of Tancarville, hereditary
Chamberlain of Normandy, to be trained as a knight in c1159. He was
knighted, probably by his uncle, in 1167.
Below right: Wil liam Marshal's Great Tower at Pembroke Castle.
In 1170 William Marshal was app ointed head of the mesnie (military)
household of the young Prince Henry by K ing Henry II. From this time
until young Henry's death in June of 1183, Marsh al was responsible for
protecting, training and running the military househol d of the heir. In
1173, William Marshal knighted the young Henry, and thereby became
Henry's lord in chivalry. We know that Marshal led young Henry and hi s
mesnie to many victories on the tournament fields of Normandy. It is
duri ng the years from 1170 to 1183 that William Marshal established his
status as an undefeated knight in tournaments. It is here that Marshal
began to establ ish his friendships with the powerful and influential men
of his day. His rep utation and his character were built through his own
actions and abilities. I n this age of feudalism, Marshal was a landless
knight. He had no lord from w hom he could gain advantages or status.
On the death of the young Henry, Marsh al obtained permission from Henry
II to take the young Henry's cross to Jerus alem. Marshal spent two years
in the Holy Land fighting for King Guy of Jerus alem and the Knights'
Templar. There are no known records of his time in the east, but we know
that some of the castle building techniques he later used a t Pembroke
were probably learned here.
Henry II granted Marshal his first fi ef, Cartmel in Lancashire, in 1187.
With this fief Marshal became a vassal of King Henry II and swore fealty
to him as his lord and his king. Until Henry II's death in 1188, William
Marshal served as his knight, his counselor, and his ambassador. When
Richard I came to the throne, he recognized Marshal as a brother and
equal in chivalry. Fulfilling the promise made by his father, Ri chard
gave Marshal the heiress Isabel De Clare and all her lands in marriage.
With this marriage, William Marshal became "in right of his wife" one of
th e greatest lords and magnates in the Plantagenet kingdom. Isabel
brought to Marshal the palatine lord

In about 1026, Herleva of Falaise, the sixteen year old daughter o f a
tanner from Falaise in Normandy, gave birth to a son called Richard. The
boy's father was Gilbert, Count of Brionne, one of the most powerful
landow ners in Normandy. As Herleva was not married to Gilbert, the boy
became known as Richard Fitz Gilbert. The term 'Fitz' was used to show
that Richard was t he illegitimate son of Gilbert.
When Robert, Duke of Normandy died in 1035 Wil liam of Normandy inherited
his father's title. Several leading Normans, inclu ding Gilbert of
Brionne, Osbern the Seneschal and Alan of Brittany, became Wi lliam's
guardians.
A number of Norman barons would not accept an illegitimat e son as their
leader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The pl ot failed
but they did manage to kill Gilbert of Brionne. As Richard was
il legitimate, he did not receive very much land when his father died.
Richard ma rried Rohese, daughter of Walter Giffard of Normandy. The
couple had at least three children, Rohaise, Gilbert De Clare and Walter
of Clare.
When William of Normandy, decided to invaDe England in 1066, he invited
his three half-br others, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Odo of Bayeux and Robert
of Mortain to join him . Richard, who had married Rohese, daughter of
Walter Giffard of Normandy, al so brought with him members of his wife's
family.
After his coronation in 10 66, William the Conqueror claimed that all the
land in England now belonged t o him. William retained about a fifth of
this land for his own use. The rest was distributed to those men who had
helped him defeat Harold at the Battle o f Hastings.
Richard Fitz Gilbert, was granted land in Kent, Essex, Surrey, Suf folk
and Norfolk. In exchange for this land. Richard had to promise to provid e
the king with sixty knights. In order to supply these knights, barons
div ided their land up into smaller units called manors. These manors were
then p assed on to men who promised to serve as knights when the king
needed them.
Richard built castles at Tonbridge (Kent), Clare (Suffolk), Bletchingley
(Sur rey) and Hanley (Worcester). His knights normally lived in the manor
that the y had been granted. Once or twice a year, Richard would visit his
knights to check the manor accounts and to collect the profits that the
land had made.
The Normans were very impressed with Richard's castle at Tonbridge. After
a w hile people in Kent began calling him Richard of Tonbridge. Other
people call ed him Richard of Clare, after the castle and large estates he
owned in Clare in Suffolk. In time, Richard adopted Clare as his family
name and he became known as Richard De Clare.
William the Conqueror trusted Richard De Clare and appointed him as a
member of his ruling council. Richard was also given the t itle Chief
Justiciar. This meant that Richard took over the running of the
government when the king was making one of his many visits to Normandy.
In th is post he played an important role in the suppression of the revolt
against William in 1075.
Just before William the Conqueror died he decided that Willia m Rufus,
rather than his older brother, Robert Curthose, should be king of
England. He was crowned by Lanfranc, the Archbishop of Canterbury, on
26th Se ptember, 1087.
The following year some Normans, including Richard De Clare, Od o of
Bayeux, Robert of Mortain, William Fitz Osbern and Geoffrey of Coutances ,
led a rebellion against the rule of Rufus in order to place Robert
Curtho se on the throne. However most Normans in England remained loyal
and Rufus an d his army successfully attacked the rebel strongholds at
Tonbridge, Pevensey and Rochester.
After a two day siege at Tonbridge Castle, Richard De Clare wa s forced to
surrender to William Rufus. Richard was punished by having his castle and
the town of Tonbridge burnt to the ground. Richard De Clare was also
forced to live in a monastery where he died.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Here is a personage who, under the more popu lar name of Hugh Lupus, is
perhaps almost as well known as the Conqueror hims elf.
Wace in his "Roman De Rou," speaks only of his father Richard:
"D'Avranc in i fu Richarz."
But it is generally contended that Richard was not in the ba ttle, and
that it was Hugh, his son, who accompanied William to Hastings. The
authors of "Les Recherches sur le Domesday," to whom we are so deeply
inDe bted for information on these points, hesitate to endorse the opinion
of Mons . le Prévost upon these grounds, -- that Richard was living as
late as 1082, when he appears as a witness to a charter of Roger de
Montgomeri, in favour o f St. Stephen's at Caen, to which also his son,
Earl Hugh, is a subscriber. T heir observations only point, however, to
the probability of Richard, who in 1066 was Seigneur or Vicomte of
Avranches, having been in the Norman army of invasion, as he survived the
event some sixteen years; at the same time they deny that there is any
proof that his son Hugh was in the battle, and assert, without stating on
what authority, that Hugh only joined the Conqueror in En gland after the
victory at Senlac, when he rendered the new King most importa nt services
by his valour and ability in the establishment of William on the throne,
and contributed greatly towards the reduction of the Welsh to obedien ce.
That there is authority for their assertion appears from the cartulary of
the Abbey of Whitby, quoted by Dugdale in his "Monasticon," (Mon. Ang.
vol . i, p. 72) where we read distinctly that Hugh Earl of Chester and
William De Percy came into England with William the Conqueror in 1067:
"Anno Domini mil lesimo sexagesimo septimo," and that the King gave Whitby
to Hugo, which Hugo afterwards gave to William De Percy, the founder of
the abbey there.
We hav e here, therefore, a parallel case to that of Roger De Montgomeri
(ViDe vol i , p. 181), and must similarly treat it as an open question.
The descent of Ric hard, surnamed Goz, Le Gotz, or Le Gois, from Ansfrid
the Dane, the first who bore that surname, has been more or less
correctly recorded, but in "Les Rec herches" it will be found critically
examined and carried up to Rongwald, or Raungwaldar, Earl of Maere and
the Orcades in the days of Harold Harfager, or the Fair-haired; which
said Rongwald was the father of Hrolf, or Rollo, the first Duke of
Normandy. Rongwald, like the majority of his countrymen and kin smen, had
several children by a favourite slave, whom he had married "more Da nico,"
and Hrolf Turstain, th.e son of one of them, having followed his uncle
Rollo into Normandy, managed to secure the hand of Gerlotte De Blois,
daug hter of Thibaut Count of Blois and Chartres, which seems to have been
the fou ndation of this branch of the great Norse family in Normandy, and
the stock f rom which descended the Lords of Briquebec, of Bec-Crispin, of
Montfort-sur-R isle, and others who figure as companions of the Conqueror.
The third son of G erlotte was Ansfrid the Dane, the first Vicomte of the
Hiemois, and father of Ansfrid the second, surnamed Goz, above mentioned,
whose son Turstain (Thurs tan, or Toustain) Goz was the great favouritc of
Robert Duke of Normandy, the father of the Conqueror, and accompanied him
to the Holy Land, and was intru sted to bring back the relics the Duke had
obtained from the Patriarch of Jer usalem to present to the Abbey of
Cerisi, which he had founded. Revolting aga inst the young Duke William in
1041 (ViDe vol. i, p. 21), Turstain was exiled , and his lands confiscated
and given by the Duke to his mother, Herleve, wif e of Herluin de
Conteville.
Richard Goz, Vicomte d'Avranches, or more proper ly of the Avranchin, was
one of the sons of the aforesaid Turstain, by his wi fe Judith de
Montanolier, and appears not only

Philip confir med his father's gifts to the abbey of St. Florent in 1096.
He was the first Braose Lord of Builth and Radnor, their initial holding
in the Welsh Marches. Philip seems to have gone on the 1st CrusaDe and
returned in 1103. He built the Norman church of St Nicolas (right) at Old
Shoreham and founded the port of New Shoreham. His lands were confiscated
by Henry I in 1110, due to his tr aitrous support of William, son of
Robert Curthose but they were returned in 1112.
Between 1125 and 1130 Philip confirmed the gifts of his nephew, Philip d e
Harcourt, to the newly established Knights Templar.

There are charters where Robert De Harcourt's sons, Philip and Richard,
refer to Philip De Brao se as "patruus" - paternal uncle. This lends
weight to the theory that Robert De Harcourt and Philip De Braose were
both sons of Eve De Boissey. In anothe r record dated 1103 (Pipe Roll Soc.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Orderic has supplied us with plenty of mater ial for a memoir of the
family of St. Valeri, indifferently written Waleri an d Galeri, so many of
which were benefactors to his beloved Abbey of Ouche, ot herwise St.
Evroult, and, as the fleet of Duke William sailed from the port o f St.
Valery-sur-Somme, the bourg from which they took their name, it would b e
strange indeed if a "Sire De St. Galeri" had not been found in Wace's
cat alogue of the companions of the Conqueror.
They did not, however, hold the fie f of St. Valeri in their own right,
but as hereditary advocates of the abbey, founded there by Lothaire in
613, in which the lordship was vested. To the d evotion of the Duke and
his barons to its patron saint, the Merovingian Walle ric, and the solemn
procession of the abbot and monks bearing the shrine whic h contained his
holy relics, was attributed the favourable change of the wind for which
William had so long waited.
The Sires of St. Valeri were also con nected by marriage with the ducal
family, and could claim cousinship by blood with the Conqueror. Gilbert,
the Advocate of St. Valeri, married Papia, daug hter of Richard II. Duke
of Normandy, by his wife, more Danico, of that name. She bore to him two
sons, Bernard and Richard. Of Richard I shall speak here after. It is with
his elder brother that we have first to deal, as he has bee n
unhesitatingly named by M. le Prévost as the "Sire De Galeri" of the
Norm an poet, though upon what authority I have not been able to discover.
Certain ly not upon that of Orderic, who, provokingly enough, while most
liberal in h is information respecting Richard and his descendants, tells
us nothing about Bernard except that he was the father of Walter de
St.Valery, who was probab ly the Walter of Domesday, possessing at the
time of its compilation, amongst other estates, the extensive manor of
Isleworth, in the county of Middlesex, but whether as the heir of his
father, on whom they might have been bestowed by the Conqueror, or
acquired by himself, either as a reward for service ren dered to his
sovereign or through some fortunate marriage, we are left to con jecture.
If Bernard was really the companion of the Conqueror at Hastings and
Senlac, the former solution of the question is most reasonable, and the
pos session of the domains by his son Walter has probably been the chief
ground f or Le Prévost's statement, which Mr. Taylor copies without
observation, as we ll as for that of MM. De Magny and Delisle. Still it is
rather extraordinary that the historian of the family should record the
military services, the mar riages and issue of Richard and his sons, and
make no mention of so interesti ng a fact as the presence of the elder
brother Bernard in the expedition whic h sailed from his own port, and the
famous victory in which it resulted.
We must therefore content ourselves perforce with the assurance of Wace,
that th e Lord of St. Valeri, and those he roDe with, demeaned themselves
like brave men, and sorely handled all whom their weapons could reach. We
hear nothing o f him after the Conquest, and he was probably dead when
Walter De St. Valery was found seized of the manor of Isleworth. The
latter was living in 1097, wh en, with his son Bernard, he was in the Holy
Land, and fought under the banne rs of Bohemond in the great battle of
Dorylaeum.
But Walter De St. Valery wa s not the only one of the name who held lands
in England at the time of the s urvey.

King of Alba and Strathcllyde. Conquered Lothian in 1018, Said to have
married an Irish woman from Ossory.  Killed by kinsman.
Reigned from 10 05-1034.
Malcolm II of Scotland (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda) c. 954-1034 was King of
Scotland (Alba) from 1005 to 1034. He was the son of King Kenneth II and
first cousin of his predecessor, King Kenneth III (Cináed mac Duib), who
wa s murdered by Malcolm at the Battle of Monzievaird in 1005. He was the
last k ing of the House of Alpin.
His rule was contested for ten years during the rei gn of Kenneth III but
Malcolm finally gained the throne after Kenneth's death . It appears that
he only ruled part of Scotland during his reign, in opposit ion to leaders
from Moray such as Findláech mac Ruadrí (d. 1020, probably fat her of
Macbeth), and Máel Coluim mac Máel Brigte (d. 1029), both of whom were
also called kings of Alba (and therefore Scotland) in the Irish annals,
th ough neither are called kings of Scotland in modern texts. In 1006,
Malcolm w as defeated by Northumbrian forces at Durham. The English then
became preoccu pied with the Danish allowing Malcolm to march south,
avenging the loss at Du rham by winning the Battle of Carham against the
Anglo-Saxons in 1018 and, th ereby, regaining Lothian. Thirteen years
later, however, Canute, king of Engl and, Denmark, and Norway, invaded
Scotland, and forced the Scottish king to s ubmit to him (submission was a
traditional expression of personal homage). Ho wever, Canute seems to have
recognised Malcolm's possession of Lothian.
In t he west, Malcolm made an alliance with King Owen the Bald of
StrathclyDe and together they defeated King Canute at the Battle of
Carham in 1018. At the sa me time, the marriage of his daughter to Sigurd
the Stout, Norse Earl of Orkn ey, extended Malcolm's influence to the far
north. He battled to expand his k ingdom, gaining land down to the River
Tweed and in Strathclyde. When King Ow en died without an heir, Malcolm
claimed StrathclyDe for his grandson, Duncan . This caused dissent
throughout the kingdom of StrathclyDe which resulted in Malcolm's murder
at Glamis in 1034. He was buried on the Isle of Iona shortl y after.
As the last of the House of Alpin, he did not have any sons to succee d
him. He, therefore, arranged good marriages for his daughters. One
daught er married Earl Sigurd of Orkney and their son Thorfinn brought the
lands of Caithness and Sutherland under the control of the King of Alba.
His elder dau ghter, Bethoc, married the Abbot of Dunkeld and their son
became Duncan I(c.1 010-1040), who succeeded Malcolm upon his death in
1034.
After Malcolm II's reign, Scottish succession changed to be based on the
principle of direct des cent. (Previously, succession was determined by
tanistry - during a king's li fetime an heir was chosen and known as
tanaiste rig - 'second to the king'.)
Malcolm II of Scotland (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, nicknamed "Forranach" mea
ning "Destroyer" in Gaelic) (died November 25, 1034) was King of Scots (Al
ba) from 1005 to 1034. He was the son of King Kenneth II of Scotland and f
irst cousin of his predecessor, King Kenneth III of Scotland (Cináed mac D
uib), who was murdered by Malcolm II at the Battle of Monzievaird in 1005.
His rule was contested for ten years during the reign of Kenneth III but M
alcolm II finally gained the throne after Kenneth III's death. It appea
rs that he only ruled part of Scotland during his reign, in oppositi
on to leaders from Moray such as Findláech mac Ruaidrí (d. 1020, probab
ly father of Macbeth), and Máel Coluim mac Máil Brigti (d. 1029), bo
th of whom were also called Kings of Alba (and therefore Scotland) in t
he Irish annals, though neither are called Kings of Scotland in modern tex
ts. In 1006, Malcolm II was defeated by Northumbrian forces under Uhtred t
he Bold while besieging Durham. The English then became preoccupied with t
he Danish allowing Malcolm

REFN: P1595
King of Alba, said to have marr ied a princess of Leinster.
Reigned from 971-995.
Kenneth II (Cináed mac Máel Coluim), son of Malcolm I, king of Scotland,
succeeded Culen, son of Indulf, who had been slain by the Britons of
StrathclyDe in 971 in Lothian. He did n ot established himself as sole
king until he killed Culen's brother Amlaíb in 977, after which he ruled
all of Scotland.
Kenneth began his reign by ravag ing the British kingdom, but he lost a
large part of his force on the river C ornag. Soon afterwards he attacked
Eadulf, earl of the northern half of North umbria, and ravaged the whole
of his territory. He fortified the fords of the Forth as a defence
against the Britons and again invaded Northumbria, carryi ng off the
earl's son. About this time he gave the city of Brechin to the chu rch.
According to the English chroniclers, Kenneth paid homage to King Edgar
for the cession of Lothian, but these statements are probably due to the
con troversy as to the position of Scotland.
The mormaers, or chiefs, of Kenneth w ere engaged throughout his reign in
a contest with Sigurd the Norwegian, earl of Orkney, for the possession
of Caithness and the northern district of Scot land as far south as the
Spey. In this struggle the Scots attained no permane nt success.
In 995 Kenneth, whose strength like that of the other kings of his branch
of the house of Kenneth MacAlpin lay chiefly north of the Tay, was sl ain
treacherously by his own subjects, according to the later chroniclers at
Fettercairn in the Mearns through an intrigue of Finvela, daughter of the
e arl of Angus. He was buried on the Isle of Iona. He, then, became the
fifth king of Scotland to be murdered in succession.

Kenneth III (Cináed mac Duib) was King of Scots from 997 to 1005. He was t
he son of King Dub, fourth cousin of the previous King Constantine III, a
nd first cousin of his successor Malcolm II (1005–34).
Kenneth III was the last King of Scotland to succeed to the throne throu
gh the system of tanistry, whereby the succession was shared between two f
amily lines and the dying King named the person from the other family li
ne who was to succeed him. The system was much discredited as it ensured t
hat the two royal families of the Kingdom of Scotland were in a constant s
tate of war with each other.
Kenneth III and his son Giric were both killed in the Battle of Monzievair
d, TaysiDe on March 25, 1005. It was his first cousin Malcolm II, succeedi
ng him at the battle, who abolished the tanistry system by killing a
ll of Kenneth III's male descendants.
However, Kenneth III had a granddaughter, Gruoch, via his son Bodhe. Gruoc
h's first husband was Gillacomgain, Mormaer of Moray. They had a son call
ed Lulach. She then married King Macbeth of Scotland (becoming Lady Macbet

Alias:<ALIA> MalColuim I /MacAlpin/
REFN: P1596
Reigned as King of Scotland f rom 942-954.
Malcolm I (Máel Coluim mac Domnaill), the son of Donald I of Scot land,
became the King of Scotland in 942 or 943 after his cousin King
Const antine II of Scotland abdicated and became a monk.
Malcolm was a prince of gre at abilities and prudence, and Edmund I of
England courted his alliance by ce ding Cumbria, the consisting of
Cumberland and part of Westmorland, to him, i n the year 945, on condition
that he would defend that northern county, and b ecome an ally of Edmund.
This, therefore, required Scotland to send military support if England
was attacked by either the Danes of Northumbria or the Nor wegians of
Ireland. The alliance between England and Scotland remained after the
death of both kings.
Edred of England, the brother and successor of Edmu nd, accordingly
applied for, and obtained, the aid of Malcolm against Anlaf, king of
Northumberland, whose country, according to the barbarous practice of the
times, he wasted, and carried off the people with their cattle.
Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against
the Englis h and, in 954, Edred reunited the northern counties to his
dominions.
In thi s same year, after putting down an insurrection of the Moray-men
under Cellac h, their Maormor (chief), whom he killed, Malcolm was slain,
probably at Ulur n or Auldearn in Moray, by one of these men, in revenge
for the death of his chief. He was buried on the Isle of Iona.
At some point in his life, he marrie d. But as was the case with many
monarchs in this period, the details are no longer known. A son from this
marriage would later succeed to the throne as K enneth II of Scotland.
0862 - 0900 Donald II MacAlpin 38 38 REFN: 1597AN
REFN: P1597
Killed in battle.  Ascended to the throne 889.
Donald II of Scotl and (Domnall mac Causantín) was king of Scotland from
889 to 900. He was the son of King Constantine I and first cousin of the
previous king Eochaid and o f his successor Constantine II.
Donald took the throne of Scotland in battle a s an act of revenge. King
Giric I of Scotland (who ruled jointly with Donald' s predecessor Eochaid
had murdered Donald's uncle, Aed, in 878. Upon Giric's death, Donald
expelled Eochaid from the country, thereby taking rulership of Scotland
for himself.
It was under the rule of King Donald II that the Briti sh kingdom of
StrathclyDe came under Scottish dominance to create the Kingdom of Alba,
thus being recognized in the Annals of Ulster as "ri Alban" as oppo sed to
"rex Pixtorum," as his predecessors had been known. His reign coinciDe d
with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to
occupy the lands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The
Danish had conquered all of northern Scotland through the leadership of
'Sigurd the Mighty'. Donald was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the
Highland robber tribes.
His death is very mysterious. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar
while meeting a Danish invasion; by another he died of infirmity brought
o n by his campaigns against the Highlanders, a natural death that is very
unco mmon in this period. He was buried on the Isle of Iona, the historic
resting place of all Dalriadan and early Scottish kings. He was succeeded
by his cous in Constantine II. His son, Malcolm, later became King Malcolm
I of Scotland.

Consta ntine I (Causantín mac Cináeda) (836-877), son of King Kenneth I
MacAlpin, be came king of the Scots and the Picts in 863 when he succeeded

Constantine was a warrior king. During his reign he spent most of his
d ays fighting off the Vikings or trying to expand his kingdom into the
south. In 872 his assassination of 'Run' (Arthgal), King of Strathclyde,
and his bro ther-in-law, meant that the southern regions of what is now
Scotland, became apart of his own Alba.
864 saw the rampage of the Norsemen led by Olaf the Whi te from Dublin.
Swiftly defeated by Constantine, the Norsemen relaxed their t hreats on
him until Thorsten the Red led them, but he too was defeated succes sfully
by King Constantine.
Although usually confident in battle, Constantin e often resorted to
tactics of bribery and payoffs to his rivals in order to keep the peace.
This form of peace keeping was later employed by the English Royals,
namely King Ethelred the Unready in the year 1000. In the end though,
Constantine was finally defeated by the Norsemen, when a raiding party
kno wn as the 'Black Strangers' from Dublin made a base for themselves in
Fife fr om which they launched their attacks. It was during one of these
attacks that Constantine met his match.
He was killed in battle against the Vikings in 877 at the "Black Cave"
(Inverdovat) in Forgan, Fife. His successor was his brot her Aed. He had a
son, Donald who became King Donald II of Scotland following the joint
reign of Kings Eochaid and Giric.
~0810 - 6 Feb 859 Kenneth I MacAlpin REFN: 1599AN
Alias:<ALIA> Cinead I /MacAlpin/
REFN: P1599
King of Picts and Alba, King of Galloway. Acceded to the throne 839.
Kenneth I the Hardy (ca. 810-858; Kenneth mac Alpin) succeeded his
father, Alpin II, to the throne of Dalriada. He soo n obtained the Pictish
throne in 843 and became the first king to rule the Pi cts of Pictavia and
the Scots of Dalriada. It is possible that intermarriage with the Picts
helped secure Kenneth's throne. The joint kingdom was known as Alba from
the Latin for white.
Recalling the peculiarity of a matrilineal s uccession which governed
Pictish crowns, it is evident that Kenneth Mac Alpin grounded his claims
to the Pictish crown from his mother's bloodlines. In 83 9, the Picts
suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Vikings. The No rsemen
had conquered and settled Shetland, the Outer Hebrides and as far sout h
as the mouth of the Clyde. Caithness, Sutherland and even Dalriada were
b eing attacked and harassed by the long boats. The brutalizing defeat at
the h ands of the Vikings in 839 killed most of the Pictish nobility,
including the King of Picts and Scots Uven Mac Angus II, his brother
Bran, and "numberless others". This opened Mac Alpin's claim to the
vacant Pictish throne (via his mother who was a Pictish princess). The
Pictish kingdoms had been severely w eakened by attacks from the Vikings
and were in no condition to dispute his c laim.
His claim to the crown of Dalriada came from his father, who was a membe r
of clan Gabhran, which had produced most Scottish kings, such as his
ance stors King Eachaidh, King Alpin Mac Eachaidh, King Aed, and King
Fergus. His Pictish mother was descended from the royal house of
Fortrenn, and his great- grand uncle, Alpin Mac Eachaidh had actually
reigned as King of Picts until d eposed by Oengus I. It is thus that
Kenneth Mac Alpin was one of several nobl es with a claim to the crown of
Picts and Scots.
The sources for facts of ho w Kenneth Mac Alpin, the avenging son of the
slain Alpin, became King of Pict s and Scots are few and suspect. Two such
sources, The Prophecy of St. Bercha n, and De Instructione Principus note
that in 841 Mac Alpin attacked the remn ants of the Pictish army and
defeated them (he is lauded as "the raven feeder "). Mac Alpin then
invites the Pictish king, Drust IX, and the remaining Pict ish nobles to
Scone to perhaps settle the issue of Dalriada's freedom or MacA lpin's
claim to the Dalriadic crown. Faced with a recently victorious MacAlpi n
in the south and a devastated army in the north, Drust, as well as all
cl aimants to the Pictish throne from the seven royal houses attend this
meeting at Scone. Legend has it that the Scots came secretly armed to
Scone, where D rust and the Pictish nobles were killed. This event has
come to be known as M acAlpin's Treason.
Although their king and royal houses had been murdered and their armies
wiped out in the north by the Vikings and decimated in the south by the
Scots, the Picts nonetheless resist Scottish domination and as late a s
the 12th year of MacAlpin's reign The Chronicle of Huntington tells us
th at Mac Alpin "fought successfully against the Picts seven times in one
day" ( perhaps wiping out the last remnants of an independent Pictish
armed force).
By the year 843, he had created a semblance of unity among the warring
socie ties of the Picts, Scots, Britons, and Angles after he had defeated
the Picts in battle. MacAlpin created his capital at Forteviot, also
called Scone, in Pictish territory. He then moved his religious center to
Dunkeld on the River Tay in present-day Perthshire, to where he
transferred the remains of St. Co lumba from the Isle of Iona.
At roughly the same time that the people of Wales were separated from the
invading Saxons by the artificial boundary of Offa's Dyke, MacAlpin was
creating a kingdom of Scotland. MacAlpin's successes in p art were due to
the threat coming from the raid

Alpin II of Dalriada, also known as Alpin mac Eochaid was the father of Ke
nneth I of Scotland and Donald I of Scotland who united the Kingdom of t
he Scots and the Picts.
Little more is known about Alpin than his father Eochaid IV, who has be
en called in some acounts as the King "of Scotland". Alpin was certainly d
ead by 840, when his son took the kingship of Dalriata. A late source
states that he died in 834 fighting the Picts in Galloway. He did not succ
eed to the kingship.
He married a Scottish princess, who name is now no longer known, and had
his two sons by her.
~0812 - ~0863 Donald I MacAlpin 51 51 REFN: 1601AN
REFN: P1601
Reigned as King of Scotland from 859 to 863.
Donald I (Donald mac Alpin) (c812-863) was King of Alba (Scotland) from
858-863. He was the young er son of Alpin II of Dalriada and succeeded his
brother, King Kenneth mac Al pin, to the throne upon his death.
Described before as the wanton son of the f oreign woman, Donald had a
short term as king. He established an ancient corp us of laws and rights
(known as the laws of Aed, or Aedh) that apparently inc luded the custom
of tanistry. According to this custom, the successor of a ki ng was
elected during his lifetime from the eldest and worthiest of his kin,
often a collateral (brother or cousin) in preference to a descendant
(son). During Donald's reign, his nephew, Constantine I, was chosen to
succeed him following his death. The custom of tanistry lasted until the
reign of Malcolm II.
Uncertainty exists about the circumstances of his death in 863. He either
died at a battle in Scone, Perthshire or peacefully in his palace at Kinn
Belachoir. He died unmarried and childless. It is not known where he was
buri ed.

~1002 - 1066 Edward the Confessor 64 64 REFN: 1603AN
REFN: P1603
Edward the Confessor or Eadweard III (c. 1004 – 4 January 1066), son of Et
helred the Unready, was the penultimate Anglo-Saxon King of England and t
he last of the House of Wessex, ruling from 1042 until his death.1 His rei
gn marked the continuing disintegration of royal power in England and t
he aggrandizement of the great territorial earls, and it foreshadowed t
he country's later connection with Normandy, whose duke William I was to s
upplant Edward's successors Harold Godwinson and Edgar Ætheling as England
's ruler.
He succeeded his half-brother Harthacanute, who had successfully regain
ed the throne of England after being dispossessed by their mutual step-bro
ther, Harold Harefoot; Edward and his brother Alfred the Aetheling, both s
ons of Emma of Normandy by Ethelred the Unready, had previously fail
ed to depose Harold in 1036.
Edward is considered a saint by both the Roman Catholic Church, which rega
rds Edward the Confessor as the patron saint of kings, difficult marriage
s, and separated spouses, and by the Eastern Orthodox Church. From the rei
gn of Henry II of England to 1348 he was considered the patron saint of En
gland, and he has remained the patron saint of the Royal Family.
In 1013, Edward and his brother Alfred were taken to Normandy by their mot
her Emma, sister of Normandy's Duke Richard II, to escape the Danish invas
ion of England. Edward developed an intense personal piety in his quarter-
century of Norman exile, during his most formative years, while England fo
rmed part of a great Danish empire. His familiarity with Normandy and i
ts leaders would also influence his later rule.
Returning to England with Alfred in an ill-advised abortive attempt (103
6) to displace their step-brother Harold Harefoot from the throne, Edwa
rd escaped to Normandy after Alfred's capture and death. The Anglo-Saxon l
ay and ecclesiastical nobility invited him back to England in 1041; this t
ime he became part of the household of his half-brother Harthacanute (s
on of Emma and Canute), and according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was swo
rn in as king alongside him. Following Harthacanute's death on 8 June 104
2, Edward ascended the throne. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle indicates the pop
ularity he enjoyed at his accession — "before Harthacanute was buried, a
ll the people chose Edward as king in London". Edward was crowned at the c
athedral of Winchester, the royal seat of the West Saxons on 3 April 1043.
Edward's reign was marked by peace and prosperity, but effective rule in E
ngland required coming to terms with three powerful earls: Godwin, Ea
rl of Wessex, who was firmly in control of the thegns of Wessex, which h
ad formerly been the heart of the Anglo-Saxon monarchy; Leofric, Earl of M
ercia, whose legitimacy was strengthened by his marriage to Lady Godiva, a
nd in the north, Siward, Earl of Northumbria. Edward's sympathies for Norm
an favourites frustrated Saxon and Danish nobles alike, fuelling the grow
th of anti-Norman opinion led by Godwin, who had become the king's father-
in-law in 1045. The breaking point came over the appointment of an archbis
hop of Canterbury: Edward rejected Godwin's man and appointed the bish
op of London, Robert of Jumièges, a trusted Norman.
Matters came to a head over a bloody riot at Dover between the townsfolk a
nd Edward's kinsman Eustace, count of Boulogne. Godwin refused to punish t
hem, Leofric and Siward backed the King, and Godwin and his family were a
ll exiled in September 1051. Queen Edith was sent to a nunnery at Wherwel
l. Earl Godwin returned with an armed following a year later, however, for
cing the king to restore his title and send away his Norman advisors. Godw
in died in 1053 and the Norman Ralph the Timid received Herefordshire, b
ut his son Harold accumulated even greater territories for the Godwins, w

Aedh (c840-878), sometimes spelt Aed or Aodh, became king of Scotl and in
877 when he succeeded his brother Constantine I.
He was killed shortl y after taking the throne by Giric, also known as
Gregory the Great, who had conspired with Aed's nephew, Eochaid.
Not much is known of Aedh, or even if he was actually the one named by
Constantine to hold the throne. Both Giric and Eochaid ruled jointly
following Aedh's death.
Aedh did marry at some point in his life , but the details, including the
date and place of the marriage, and the name of his wife are not known.
One son, Constantine II of Scotland, ruled later, while another son,
Donald, became King of StrathclyDe in 908.
A edh died violently in 878 at Strathallan. He may have been buried at
Maiden S tone in Aberdeenshire. He was succceeded under the Scottish
tanistry system b y his nephew, Eochaid.

ousted from the kingship.  He survived a Cenel Loairn attack on his
autho rity in 727, led by Selbach son of Ferchar Fota, and managed to hold
his posi tion without challenge until his death in 733. Following
Eochaidh's death, it appears that the kingship was shared between his
brother Alpin, and Muiredac h, the Cenel Loairn claimant, until the Dal
Riata was subjugated by Oengus, K ing of the Picts, in 736.

Domnall Donn, the king of Dal Riata and Eochaidh's father's cousin was
killed by the Cenel Loairn ( Lorn), a rival branch of the Dal Riata.  The
Cenel Loairn claimant, Ferchar F ota, was then recognized as King of Dal

until he, in turn, was killed by the Cen el Loairn.  Ferchar's son

predecessor, Conna d Cerr, was killed in Ireland after a 3-month reign.
Domnall was either  inco mpetent, unlucky, or both; he never won a
battle.  His first defeat came in 6 35 in a battle which was possibly
against the Picts.  In 637, he was defeated at the battle of Mag Rath in
Ireland, and from this point on, the Kings of D al Riata completely lost
control of their Irish possessions.  It was probably at about this point,
that Domnall was demoted to the position of joint King with his 3rd
cousin Ferchar, son of Connad Cerr.  Domnall was defeated yet ag ain,
possibly by the Picts, in 638.  He finally met his death in 642, at the
hands of the Britons of Strathclyde.  He was succeeded by his      joint

Aedan's death in 606. Eochaidh's reign appears to have been quiet until
the end, but in 627, the forces of Dal Riata, led by Eochaid's successor,

Ireland, which apparently convened to deciDe the political relationship
between Dal Riata and the Kings of the Northern Ui Neill in Ireland,
whose power was growing.  In 581, he le d an expedition to the Orkney
islands, and he won a victory at the Isle of Ma n in  582.  In 590, he won
a battle against the Maetae, his British neighbors , but lost two sons in
the battle.  In 596, in the first battle between Scots and English, two
more of his sons were slain.  In 600, he led an army agains t the English

Border warfare having died down after Redeswire (though there was a final
flare-up on the West March, the "Ill Week" of 1603), Sir Andrew Kerr
rebuilt Ferniehirst in 1598. It had been largely destroyed by the English
a llies of Mary’s Scottish enemies, following on Sir Thomas’s support for
the N orthern Earls in 1569 and a Scottish invasion of the English Middle
March in 1570. Despite extensive restoration towards the end of the 19th
Century, the Castle now is essentially Ferniehirst as rebuilt by Sir
Andrew, though some p arts (The Chambers and Cellars) date back to 1470 or
thereabouts.
Sir Andrew was Provost of Jedburgh for many years, but never became
Warden, the office having been abolished following on the Union of the
Crowns. He held several C ourt and administrative posts, and was created
Lord Jedburgh in 1622.

"In the Service of Lieutenant Home, as nearest heir male of Patric k,
first Earl of Marchmont in 1799, and again in his Petition to the King in
1804, Patrick Hume (the Founder of the Family of Polwart) is represented
to have died before 1480, and to have been succeeded by a son, Patrick
(afterwa rds Sir Patrick) Hume, who is said to have obtained a grant of
the lands of B irghamshiels from the Duke of Albany in 1483, to have died
in 1504, and to ha ve been succeeded by his son Alexander Hume; but in all
the Claimant's subseq uent statements, the two Patrick Humes are
considered one and the same person ."
....
The "Birth Brief," (A Copy of this Document will be found in the
ap pendix, No.I.) which is still extant, in the Marchmont Repositories,
with the Great Seal of Scotland attached, is addressed by the King to all
Foreigh Emp erors, Kings, Princes, &c. It traces the Pedigree of Alexander
Hume up to Sir David Home of Wedderburn (second son of the Earl of Home),
and agrees in all points (except respecting the two Patrick Humes in
question) with the main l ine of Hume of Polwart, as it has been proved by
the Claimant, which favours the presumption that it is no less accurate
throughout.(b)
....
(b) The ear liest three generations of the Polwart Family are thus
described in the Birth Brief; "Qui vero Alexander" (that is, Alexander
Hume, in the Pedigree) "fuit filius legittimus domini Patricij Hume de
Polwart dicti regni nostri thesaur arij inter eum et dominam Mariam
Edmonstoun ejus sponsam filiam Joannis Edmon stoun De eodem genitus. Et
qui Patricius Hume fuit filius legittimus Patricij Hume De Polwart inter
eum et Margaretam Sinclair ejus uxorem filiam Joannis Sinclair Comarchi
De Hermistoun natus."

chart.]
In the Birth-brief of Lord Marchmont there is another ge neration of a
Patrick who married Mary Edmondstone, daughter of Edmondstone o f that
ilk; but it is difficult to reconcile this with the persons in the nex t
generation, who were undoubtedly the issue of the above two marriages;
an d it is mentioned nowhere else. He may have been an elder son who died
vivent e patre.

Lord of Redesdale 1245-1307
Earl of Angus (1245)1267-1307
Baron of Prudhoe 1283-1307
G.W.S. Barrow lists Gilbert as the earl of Angus from 126 7 presumably on
the death of the previous incumbent Gilchrist unless the titl e was
temporarily taken away from him. Other sources claim the the Umfreville s
held the Earldom from 1243 or from 1245. Gilbert's mother Maud was the
da ughter of Earl Gilchrist and Maud the sister of William King of
Scotland.
Gi lbert married Elizabeth the daughter of Alexander Comyn, Earl of Buchan
and p roduced 3 sons. The eldest, Gilbert (died early, before 1307)
married Margare t De Clare. The second son who became the next Earl was
Robert. The third son Thomas became a knight at the court of either
Edward II or III and may have had descendants in the south of England.
Gilbert alienated Chollerton in about 1268 and sold it in 1274. The
Inspeximus Maximus of 1298 lists the donation of Cholverton Chapel to the
Priory of St Andrew's at Hexham by Odonell De Umf reville, most likely
Gilbert's uncle Odonell. We know that Chollerton and Bir tley had been
released to him by Richard of Chollerton which may mean that Od onell died
before 1274 if Gilbert was able to do with it what he wanted.
On June 13th 1291 Gilbert was at Upsettlington Nr Norham Castle on the
river Twe ed with the Guardians and magnates of Scotland to swear
individual fealty to Edward I. Earlier that year Gilbert had refused to
surrender the castles of F orfar and Dundee, which were in his keeping, to
Edward declaring that he had been entrusted them by the community of the
realm of Scotland and not the Kin g of England. Gilbert did hand them over
at this meeting. Earl Gilbert is kno wn for his stubborness; he so
frequently exceeded his authority within Redesd ale that in 1293 he was
brought before Newcastle assizes and the following ch arges brought
against him:
I) That he erected a gallows at Alwinton without licence from the crown.
II) That his Bailiffs fined both those that appeared a nd those that
failed to appear before his courts whether they lived in the Li berty or
not.
III) That he did seize the cattle of a John of Hirlaw for graz ing on
common land, sell two of them and had three more for his kitchen.
In his defence Gilbert claimed that only he or his justices could deal
with case s within the Liberty. He claimed a river crossing tax at Elishaw
on the Scots border which he said he only exacted from Scotsmen! Gilbert
argued that the wardenship of the Liberty entitled him to many
privileges, for example, all l egal cases concerning the Liberty were to
be heard in his courts before his J ustices; he could free criminals from
his gaol at Harbottle castle and deal w ith injustices concerning the
inspection of bread and ale. He claimed the rig ht to hold a market at
Harbottle every week on tuesdays and hold an annual fa ir on 8th
September. He could also hold a sunday market at Elsdon and an annu al
fair there on 16th August.
Gilbert was summoned to the English Parliament in 1296 and in 1298 he
accompanied Edward I on his military expedition to Sc otland to fight
William Wallace at Falkirk (22nd July). In 1306 he was one of the Scots
Earls opposed to Robert Bruce who had just seized the crown from J ohn
Baliol. Gilbert died in 1307, the same year as King Edward. It is his

~1215 - 1274 John Comyn 59 59 REFN: 1717AN
REFN: P1717
John Comyn (d 1274), justiciar of Galloway, was the son of Richard Comyn a
nd hephew of the powerful Walter Comyn, earl of Menteith, and the hardly l
ess important Alexander Comyn, earl of Buchan. In 1248 he is mention
ed as present at the courts of Alexander II at Berwick and Stirling. He al
so attested several Melrose charters during the latter part of the same re
ign. In 1250 he granted to the monks of Melrose the right of passage throu
gh his lands of Dalswinton and Duncol in Nithsdale. In this valley a
nd in Tyndale his property chiefly lay; so that he was a powerful man on b
oth sides of the border. In Scotland he fully shared in the posperity of h
is house during the early years of the reign of Alexander III. In close as
sociation with his two uncles, he took a prominent part in the governme
nt of the regency between 1249 and 1255, and fell like them in the latt
er year, when the personal intervention of Henry III transferred pow
er to a new regency, better affected towards the English sovereign. Next y
ear the jury of Corbridge presented him for levying new tolls on King Henr
y's men on his Northumberland estates. In 1257 he shared with his uncl
es in the capture of the young king at Kinrose, which resulted in their re
turn to power. In 1258 he appears, with the new title of justice of Gallow
ay, as joining in the confederation of the Scottish nobles with Llewel
yn of Wales against Henry III. But on peace being restored between Henry a
nd the Comyns he became in 1260 one of those to whom Henry swore that he w
ould not necessarily detain his daughter, the Queen of Scots, about to vis
it his court for confinement. In August of the same year he received licen
se from Henry to go through England to Canterbury and thence beyond se
a. In January 1262 he again received a safe-conduct from the English kin
g, and during his stay at Henry's court obtained a confirmation of King Da
vid's grants to his great-grandfather of his Tyndale estates; a grant of 5
0l for expenses during his residence at court; and license to hunt in t
he royal forests during his return home. So completely was his former poli
cy reversed that in 1268 he, along with John Baliol and Robert Bruce, l
ed a band of Scottish troops to help Henry against the revolted baron
s. He was present at the capture of Northampton by Henry, and in 1264 w
as captured at Lewes and confined in gaol in London. The triumph of Hen
ry in 1265 brought him signal benefits, grants of lands for his laudable s
ervices, limited rights of hunting in the king's forests, and of free warr
en over his Lincolnshire estates, to which was added leave to crenellate h
is new manor house at Tyrsete in Northumberland. In 1268 some of his retai
ners were slain by citizens of York, and his favour with Henry and Alexand
er procured a successful termination of the feud thence arising. The ci
ty agreed to pay him 300l compenstation, and to perpetually maintain two p
riests to pray for the souls of the slaughtered servants upon the bridge o
ver the Ouse, where the affray had occurred. The end of his life was not e
ventfull. He died in 1274.
Comyn is described by Fordun as 'a man prone to robbery and rashness.' Wyn
toun, who calles him 'Red John Comyn,' speaks of him as 'a knycht of gr
et renown.' He was twice married, and left a large family, who after his d
eath could not settle his heritage without dispute. William, his eldest so
n, who died early, engaged in an ineffectual struggle to obtain the earld
om of Menteith. Of the two sons named John, the elder became lord of Baden
och and claimant to the Scottish throne. Alexander and Robert, the two you
ngest, were both taken prisoners at Dunbar, while Robert was slain with t
he Red Comyn at Dumfries. His four daughters all married into noble house

Lord of Redesdale 1226-1245
The E ldest son of Richard Lord of Redesdale. Sykes says the he died in
Passion wee k. By his marriage to Maud/Matilda of Angus (the Scottish
King's second Cousi n) his son Gilbert inherited the Earldom of Angus.
Gilbert may have been usin g the title of Earl between 1243 and 1245 so I
have included him in this sect ion. Manor lands at Otterburn are mentioned
in Gilbert's will amongst the lis t of his property. This may indicate
that he was the owner if not the builder of Otterburn tower. The Hamilton
family trace their ancestry back to Gilbert through a shadowy figure
known as Gilbert De Beaumont alias De Hamildon (Or Gilbert De Hamildun)
claiming him as a son of Gilbert and his first wife Theo phania. During
the Scottish wars of independance many records were lost so it is
difficult to trace people from these times. Things are also complicated
by the customs of referring to nobles by either their surname OR their
landh olding. It does seem odd that Gilbert should name two of his sons
Gilbert eve n if they do have different mothers although it is not
uncommon for two sons to have the same name if one died as an infant,
Robert, the 2nd Earl, did thi s.

Richard De Umfreville
Lord of Redesdale 1195-1226
Baron of Prudh oe 1195-1226
The third son of Odonell II. In 1199 Richard persuaded King John to grant
him the privilege that 'none should graze their cattle, hunt or fell wood
in his forests of Redesdale and Coquetdale' on pain of mutilation or
death. This was changed to imprisonmentor fines with the forest laws of
the M agna Carta in 1217. In 1207 Richard claimed the wardship of Henry
Bataille, a lucrative deal in those days. Richard was the Umfreville who
produced (or fo rged) the charter which granted the Liberty of Redesdale
to Robert 'with-the- beard' and based the powers he wielded in the Liberty
on this document. Richa rd was one of the Northern lords who rebelled
against John in the revolt that culminated in the signing of the Magna
Carta at RunymeDe on June 15th 1215. Richard signs it as one of the lords
in favour of the document rather than as a supporter of the King.
Richard is the father of Gilbert, Baron of Prudhoe, who married Matilda
of Angus (see The Earls of Angus). His second son was Rob ert of
Chollerton. Richard also fathered William, the Rector of Ovingham (whi ch
is directly across the river Tyne from Prudhoe) and a fourth son called
Odonell who was alive in 1270.

Balvenie Castle
Home of the Black Comyn
Balvenie Castle lies a m ile north of Dufftown, and is strategically
located in Glenfiddich in the Gra mpian Region of Scotland. The castle's
beginnings date to the 13th Century wh en Marjory, daughter of Fergus, the
last Celtic Earl of Buchan, married Willi am Comyn, one of the new breed
of Scottish noblemen. He became the new earl, as well as Lord of
Balvenie. It was either William or their son, Alexander, w ho built this
castle.
21st great grandfather, generation 23
Chamberlain to Alexander III, King of Scotland
William Comyn, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan (d. 1233) was the son of Richa
rd Comyn, Justiciar of Lothian. William made his fortune in the servi
ce of king William I of Scotland fighting the Meic Uilleim in the north. W
illiam witnesses no less than 88 charters of the king. William was sheri
ff of Forfar (x1195-1211x), Justiciar of Scotia (1205-33) and warden of Mo
ray (1211-2). Between 1199 and 1200, William was sent to England to discu
ss important matters on King William's behalf with the new king, John. Wil
liam was appointed to the prestigious office of Justiciar of Scotia, the m
ost senoir royal office in the kingdom, in 1205. Between 1211 and 1212, Wi
lliam, as "Warden of Moray" fought against the insurgency of Gofraid mac D
omnaill. William was successful, and it is perhaps for this reason that Wi
lliam received the hand of Marjory (c. 1212), the only child of Fergus, Ea
rl of Buchan. It was thus that William became the Mormaer or Earl of Bucha
n, by right of his wife (jure uxoris). When William finally destroyed t
he Meic Uilleim in 1229, he was given control of Badenoch (upland Moray
). He died in 1233.
William had many children, some by his unknown first wife, and some by Mar
jory. The two branches were the beginning of the two chief branches of t
he family:-
By his first wife,
Richard (d. 1244x1249)
Walter Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, jure uxoris Earl of Menteith
William
Johanna, m. Uilleam I, Earl of Ross
David
By Marjory,
Alexander, Earl of Buchan
William
Fergus
Idonea
Agnes
Elizabeth, m. Uilleam, Earl of Mar
Respectively, the two branches would be associated with the Lordship of Ba
denoch, and the Earldom of Buchan. For the historian Alan Young, William
's life, and particularly his marriage to the Countess of Buchan, marks t
he beginning of the "Comyn century".

REFN: P1731
John Balliol, the uncle of John ' the Red ' Comyn, was technically king
of Scotland from 1292-1296, but had surrendered Scotland to Edward I in
1292, and with the royal arms stripped from his coat, he became known as
' Toom Tabard' or 'Empty Coat'. He went into exile, and it was also this
man wh o William Wallace was attempting to restore as King of Scotland. So
Robert th e Bruce, after the death of his father in 1304, found himself in
competition for the Scottish throne with the Comyn/Balliol family.
John became one of the regents of Scotland during the minority of
Alexander III. In 1244, when ways and means were required to discharge
the debt incurred by the war in Gascony, John De Baliol was one of the
committee of 12 chosen to report to Parliament on the subject. The next
year, Baliol is reported as having paid £30 for thi rty knights' fees
which he held towards the levy in aid for marrying the king 's daughter.
Afterwards he served as sheriff of Cumberland and governor of Ca rlisle
Castle for six years. Subsequently he had a military summons to attend
the king at Chester to oppose the Welsh. He was also sheriff of
Nottingham and Derby Counties for three years.
During the time that John Baliol was head of the family relations with
the bishops of Durham continued to worsen. This may have reflected the
rift between the English bishops and the Crown. Aroun d 1255, the Bishop
of Durham excommunicated and, in due course, imprisoned so me of Baliol's
men. In retaliation, Eustace (John's uncle?) and Jocelyn Balio l waylaid
the bishop and threw 4 of his servants into the dungeon. Henry III
intervened and brought about an exchange of prisoners.
In the baronial revol t against the king led by Simon De Montfort, Baliol
remained loyal to the thr one. Along with the king he fell into the hands
of the Earl of Leicester at t he battle of Lewes in 1264. However, he
appears to have effected his escape a nd to have joined the other loyal
barons in raising fresh troops to rescue th e monarch.
John Baliol, married Devorguilla, the younger daughter of Alan, Lor d of
Galloway, a great baron of Scotland. Galloway's wife, Margaret, was
si ster of John le Scot and one of the heirs of King David. It was from
this all iance that the Baliol claim to the throne of Scotland arose.
Also, through th e marriage to Devorguilla, Baliol acquired the Scottish
barony of Galloway. D evorguilla, came to the union with Baliol an equal
partner, and her family ar ms were joined with his.
About 1260, with guidance from the Bishop of Durham, John decided to
carry out a substantial act of charity. He did it by renting a house in
the suburbs of Oxford, and maintaining in it some poor studnets. T he
foundation date of the College which grew from this is traditionally
rec koned as 1263. At the very least, the little society which John Baliol
founDe d was in existence by June 1266, when its dependence on him is
mentioned in a royal writ. After his death in 1268/69, his widow,
Devorguilla, put his arra ngements on a permanent basis, and she is
honored as co-founder with him. She provided a capital endowment,
formulated Statutes (1282), and gave the Colle ge its first seal, which it
still has. Devorguilla and John's union is commem orated in the arms of
Baliol College, Oxford.
Their's must have been a true love; when John Baliol died, Devorguilla
had his embalmed heart placed in an ivory shrine. This shrine was placed
before her at meals, and she would give it's share of every dish to the
poor. Later she founded "Sweetheart" Abbey (a long with the college). She
died in Buittle Castle on 28 January, 1289/90, bu t was buried in the
Abbey with the casket containing John's heart in her arms .
John had three sons, and in 1268 his property came to his eldest son,
Hugh Baliol. Hugh died without issue in 1271 and was succeeded by his
brother, Al exander. Alexander married Eleanor De Genoure and

EARLDOM OF ANGUS (SCT) (I) 1115?
"Dufugan , Comes", who appears among the seven Earls in the charter of
1114 or 1115 in all probability was Mormaer of Angus, though in this
charter (possibly for t he first time) styled "Comes" ie. Earl of Angus.
He was probably a descendant of Dubucan, Mormaer of Angus in the 10th
century. [Complete Peerage I:145]
Note: The following article precedes the Complete Peerage account of the
Earl dom of Angus:
ANGUS
This was was one of the seven original Earldoms (Mormaers hips) of
Scotland, which, more or less, represented the seven provinces (each
province consisting of two districts) of the Pictish Kingdom, afterwards
c alled Alba, into which, prior to the 9th century, "transmarine Scotland"
(ie. the country north of the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde) was
by seven brothers divided. These divisions were: (1) Angus (being the
name of the eld est brother), now co. Forfar, with Mearns, now co.
Kincardine; (2) Athole wit h Gowry, now the north and east part of co.
Perth; (3) Stratherne with Mentei th, now the southern part of co. Perth;
(4) Fife with Fothreve, now together forming co. Fife; (5) Mar with
Buchan, now together forming cos. Aberdeen and Banff; (6) Moray (Muref or
Moreb) with Ross, now cos. Inverness and Ross; an d (7) Caithness with
Sutherland. The district on the west being the Kingdom o f Dalriada (now
part of Argyl) is here omitted; but in the 10th century the p rovince of
Arregaithel (Argyl) was added, which included not only Dalriada, b ut the
entire western seaboard of Scotland as far north as the old province o f
Caithness, which latter province was then omitted, having previously
pass ed into the hands of the Norwegians. The ruler of each of these
districts ori ginally bore the title of "Rt" (ie. King), being inferior
only to the "Ardi" (ie. Supreme King); but in the 10th century (with the
exception of Argyll, an d occasionally of Moray) each such ruler was
styled "Mormaer" (ie. Great Maer or Steward). [Complete Peerage I:141-2]

A signer of the Magna Charta.
Saer De Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester (1155-November 3, 1219) was o
ne of the leaders of the baronial rebellion against king John of England.
His name is variously spelled. The first name is sometimes rendered Sah
er or Seer, and the last name Quency or Quenci.
His background is a little uncertain. He was probably the son of Robert Fi
tzRichard and nephew of another Saer De Quincy, who was lord of Buck
by in Northamptonshire.
Sometime between 1168 and 1173 De Quincy married Margaret, youngest daught
er of Robert De Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester.
Quincy was one of the barons who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Y
oung King in 1184. Like most of the rebels, he eventually received his lan
ds back after the rebellion failed. He subsequently served as castell
an at various castles in the English royal possessions in France. Most not
ably, in 1203 he was castellan at Vandreuil in Normandy, and surrender
ed it to the French.
In 1204 De Quincy's brother-in-law Robert De Beaumont, 4th Earl of Leicest
er died, leaving De Quincy's wife as co-heiress along with her elder siste
r. The estate was split in half, and after the final division was ratifi
ed in 1207 De Quincy was made earl of Winchester.
Quincy never got along with king John, and was one of the 25 guarenteo
rs of the Magna Carta. He fought against John in the troubles that follow
ed the signing of the Charter, and against Henry III as well.
After the failure of the early attempts to depose Henry III, De Quincy dec
ided to fulfill a vow he had made to go on crusade. In 1219 he left to jo
in the Fifth Crusade, then besieging Damietta. There he fell sick and died
.
By his wife Margaret De Beaumont he had three sons and a daughter:
"    Robert (d. 1217). Some sources say he married Hawise, sister and co-h
eiress of Ranulf De Blundeville, earl of Chester. However, it is more like
ly Hawise married Saer's brother Robert;
"    Roger, who succeeded his father as earl of Winchester (though he d
id not take formal possession of the earldom until after his mother's deat
h);
"    Robert De Quincy (second son of that named; d. 1257) who married Hele
n, daughter of the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great;
"    Hawise, who married Hugh De Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford.
His arms were: Or, a fess gules, in chief a label of seven points azure.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Of this noble Norman we have considerable in formation afforded us by
Orderic, in consequence of his being one of the foun ders of the Abbey of
Ouche, better known as that of St. Evroult, in which the historian was
professed a monk by the venerable Abbot Mainer, in the elevent h year of
his age, by the name of Vitalis (Vital), and in which monastery he lived
fifty-six years.
From him we learn that Hugh De Grentmesnil was one of the sons of a
Robert De Grentmesnil (now known as Grandmesnil, in the arrond issement of
Lisieux) by Hawise De Giroie, which Robert was mortally wounded i n the
battle between Roger De Toeni and Roger De Beaumont, already mentioned,
vol. i., pp. 19, 217.
He fought on the siDe of De Toeni, and being carried off the field,
lingered for three weeks, and then died and was interred witho ut the
Church of St. Mary at Norrei, between Grandmesnil and Falaise. His iss ue
by Hawise De Giroie was two sons, Robert and Hugh, between whom he
divid ed his property.
Robert became a monk in the abbey he had assisted to re-edify . Hugh, who
was "eminent for his skill and courage," was, through the machina tions of
Mabel De Montgomeri, banished by Duke William without any real cause of
offence in 1058, but recalled from exile in 1063, and intrusted with the
custody of the Castle of Neufmarché-en-Lions, from which the Duke, on
equal ly slight grounds, had expelled Geoffrey De Neufmarché, the rightful
heir; an d nobly forgetful of past injustice, did the valiant Hugh justify
the trust r eposed in him, restoring in the course of a year the disturbed
district to pe rfect tranquillity. We next find him amongst the principal
combatants in the great battle, but he surely cannot be the person
described by Wace as "a vass al of Grandmesnil," who was in great peril
during the action in consequence o f his horse becoming masterless through
the breaking of his bridle-rein in le aping over a bush. He was near
falling, and the English perceiving his flight ran towards him with their
long axes, but the horse taking fright, and wheel ing suddenly round, bore
his rider safely back into the ranks of the Normans. Hugh was certainly a
vassal of the Duke of Normandy, but a baron of his repu tation and power
would scarcely be so described by Wace. Mons. Le Prévost, ho wever,
appears by his note on the passage to consider it refers to Hugh himse lf,
and Mr. Taylor follows him without comment. It may perhaps be argued that
there is nothing in the incident itself to give it sufficient importance
t o be recorded by the poet unless the person endangered was some one of
conseq uence. At all events, Hugh De Grentmesnil was certainly present at
Senlac, an d no doubt did his devoir, as he was wont to do; for in 1067 we
find him one of the principal persons joined with William Fitz Osbern and
Bishop Odo in th e government of England, during the King's absence in
Normandy, and besides t he donation of one hundred manors in this country,
sixty-five of which were i n Leicestershire, he was appointed Viscount
(i.e., sheriff) of that county an d Governor of Hampshire.
He was one of the Norman nobles who interceded with t he Conqueror in
favour of Robert Court-heuse, and effected a temporary reconc iliation. On
the accession of Rufus he espoused the cause of the young duke; but like
many others of his rank and country, weary of his vacillations, and
disgusted by his general conduct, he ultimately took part against him.
In 10 90 we find him in Normandy, in his old age, strenuously opposing the
aggressi ons of the detestable Robert De Belesme, who had erected
strongholds at Fourc hes and at La Conebe, on the river Orme, whence he
made inroads on his neighb ours, and harried all the country round.

William, who assumed, from what reason is unascertained, the surname of

to another great Baron, "Will iam De Albini, Pincerna," from whom the
Earls of Arundel descended. William d e Albini, Brito, Lord of Belvoir, in
the Chapter House of St. Albans, confirm ed all the grants of his father
and mother to the Church of Our Lady at Belvo ir, desiring that he might
be admitted in the fraternity as those his parents had been. This feudal
lord acquired great renown at the celebrated battle of Tinchebray, in
Normandy, where, commanding the horse, he charged the enemy w ith so much
spirit that he determine at once the fate of the day. Of the expl oit,
Matthew Paris says, "In this encounter chiefly deserveth honour the most
heroic William De Albini, the Briton, who, with his sword, broke through

Empress Maud and had his castle of Belvoir, with all his other lands,

~1050 - <1098 Roger FitzGerold De Roumare 48 48 REFN: 1791AN
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
This is supposed to be another inaccuracy of Master Wace' s, and we are
told by M. le Prévost that we should read Roger instead of Will iam, the
Norman poet having substituted the name of the son for that of the
father. That William, the son of Roger De Roumare, was not at Hastings I
rea dily admit, but Wace does not say he was. He simply mentions a "Dam
Willame d e Romare," and unless we could clearly show there was no such
person then exi sting, it is hardly fair to tax an almost contemporaneous
author with even un intentional misrepresentation. The pedigree of the
family of Roumare is one o f the most puzzling in the whole catalogue of
Norman nobility. The diligent s tudy of forty years has not enabled me to
penetrate its mysteries. Edward of Salisbury, one of its most important
members, has still to be satisfactorily affiliated, and the Roger de
Roumare suggested to be substituted for the Will iam of Waee is equally
difficult to identify.
It is almost impossible to mov e a step in these directions without
acknowledging our obligations to the lat e Mr. Stapleton, who has done so
much to elucidate the descent of our Anglo-N orman ancestors.
To him we are indebted for the information that previous to t he Conquest
there lived a certain G-erald, who had two wives, Albreda and Emi cia, and
a son probably by the first, who is presumed to be the Robert Fitz G erald
of Domesday, and the brother of Roger Fitz Gerald, father of William de
Roumare, created Earl of Lincoln by King Stephen.
In my paper on "The Famil y and Connections of Robert Fitz Gerald," the
Domesday holder of Corfe, in th e county of Dorset (Congress of the
British Archaeological Association, at We ymouth, 1872), I exposed the
absurd story, stereotyped in English History, of the three husbands of
Lucia, Countess of Chester, which had been first doubt ed by the Rev. Mr.
Bowles in his "History of Laycock Abbey;" but with the par ticular object
of that Paper I have at present nothing to do.
All that we kn ow of Roger Fitz Gerald, also called De Roumare, or De
Romara, is that he was the father of the William De Roumare, first of
that name, Earl of Lincoln, b y a lady named Lucia, who, through the
neglect of verifying dates, has been c onfounded probably with her mother,
married to her father before she was born , set down as the sister-in-law
of her own son, and thus innocently made the cause of considerable
trouble to the learned and curious in history and genea logy. The first
fact we are in possession of respecting Roger Fitz Gerald is his
appearance as Lord of Spalding in the county of Lincoln, before the death
of Eufus in 1100. The date of his marriage is unknown, but his son
William must have been of full age in 1122, as in that year he claimed of
King Henry 1 certain lands which his step-father, Ranulf De Briquessart,
had surrendere d to the King for the earldom of Chester. It is clear,
therefore, that Roger was dead and William twenty-one and upwards in
1122, so that the latter could not possibly have fought at Senlac, seeing
that he was not born till at leas t thirty years after it.
It is a question, indeed, whether his father Roger De Roumare was present
at Hastings, as we find him Lord of Spalding thirty-four years
afterwards, and are informed that he was a young man newly married at
that period, and I am not aware of any reliable evidence to the contrary.
Bu t, as I have already observed, there is nothing in what we do know to
disprov e the statement of Wace, that there was a William De Roumare in
the ranks of the Norman army of invasion. Without relying on the
statement of Peter De Blo is, that Roger Fitz Gerald had an elder brother
named William, by whom Lucia was honourably received on her marriage, and
whom the writer inaccurately sty les Earl of Lincoln, there is every
probability

DAVID I., a celebrated Scottish monarch, was the youngest of the six so
ns of Malcolm III., who reigned between 1057, and 1093, and who must be fa
miliar to every reader, as the overthrower of Macbeth, and also the fir
st king of the Scots that was entitled to be considered as a civilized pri
nce. The mother of king David was Margaret, the sister of Edgar Athelin
g, heir to the Saxon line of English princes, but displaced by William t
he Conqueror. The year of David’s birth is not known; but it is conjectur
ed to have been not long antecedent to the death of his father, as all h
is elder brothers were then under age. It is conjectured that he must ha
ve received the name of David, from having been born at a time when his mo
ther had no hope of more children, in reference to the youngest son of Jes
se. Owing to the usurpations of Donald Bane, and Duncan, he spent his ear
ly years at the English court, under the protection of Henry I., who had m
arried his sister Matilda or Maud, the celebrated founder of London bridg
e. There, according to an English historian, "his manners were polished fr
om the rust of Scottish barbarity." Here also he took to wife, Matilda, t
he daughter of Waltheof, earl of Northumberland, and widow of Sim
on De St Liz, earl of Northampton. After the Scottish throne had been occu
pied successively by his elder brothers, Edgar and Alexander, he acced
ed to it on the 27th of April, 1124, when he must have been in the very pr
ime of life. Soon before this time, namely, in 1113, he had manifested th
at zeal for the church, which distinguished him throughout his reign, by b
ringing a colony of Benedictine monks from Tyron, in France, whom he settl
ed at Selkirk. These he subsequently translated to Roxburgh, and finall
y, 1128, to Kelso. In the latter year, besides founding the magnificent mo
nastery of Kelso, he erected that of Holyrood at Edinburgh, which he endow
ed in the most liberal manner.
During the reign of Henry I., David maintained a good understanding with E
ngland, and seems to have spent a considerable part of his time in the cou
rt of his brother-in-law and sister. The following curious anecdote of o
ne of his visits, is related in a volume entitled "Remaines concerning Bri
tain," published in 1614. "Queen Maud was so devoutly religious, that s
he would go to church barefooted and always exercised herself in wor
ks of charity, insomuch, that when king David her brother came out of Scot
land to visit her, he found her in her privy chamber with a towell about h
er middle, washing, wiping, and kissing poore people’s feete; which he dis
liking, said, ‘verily, if the king your husband knew this, you should nev
er kisse his lippes!’ She replied, ‘that the feete of the king of heaven w
ere to be preferred before the lippes of a king in earth!’" On the dea
th of Henry, in 1135, his daughter Maud was displaced by the usurper Steph
en, and, to enforce her right, David made a formidable incursion into Engl
and, taking possession of the country as far as Durham. Not being supporte
d, however, by the barons, who had sworn to maintain his niece in her righ
t, he was obliged, by the superior force of Stephen, to give up the count
ry he had acquired, his son Henry, acc

Constable of Scotland

He was the last of the MacFergus dynasty of quasi-independent Lords of Gal
loway. He was also hereditary Constable of Scotland. He was the son of Rol
and of Galloway and Helen de Moreville. His date of birth is uncertain, b
ut he was born in or before 1175, as he is considered an adult in 1196.
He married firstly to an unnamed daughter of John, Baron of Pontefract a
nd Constable of Chester; they had two daughters, one named Helen (marri
ed Roger de Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester) and another who died in 121
3. His first wife was dead or divorced by 1209, when he married Margar
et of Huntingdon, great granddaughter of David 1st of Scotland. By this ma
rriage he had two more daughters: Derbhorgail and Christian (who married W
illiam de Forz, Count of Aumale). Alan married his last wife, Rohese de La
cy, in 1229, she being the daughter of Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulste
r. By one of his marriages he had a son, Thomas, who predeceased his fath

as).
In 1212 Alan responded to a summons from King John I of England by sendi
ng 1,000 troops to join the war against the Welsh. In this year he also se
nt one of his daughters to England as a hostage. She died in 1213 in the c
ustody of her maternal uncle. Alan is listed as one of the 16 men who coun
seled King John regarding Magna Carta.
Alan, like his forebears, maintained a carefully ambiguous relationship wi
th both the English and Scottish states, acting as a vassal when it suit
ed his purpose and as an independent monarch when he could get away with i
t. His considerable sea power allowed him to supply fleets and armies to a
id the English King John in campaigns both in France and Ireland.
In 1228 he invaded the Isle of Man and fought a sea-war against Norw
ay in support of Reginald, Prince of Man, who was engaged in a fratricid
al struggle with his brother Olaf for possession of the island.
Alan died in 1234 and is buried at Dundrennan Abbey in Galloway. With Alan
's death his holdings were divided between his three daughters. A popul
ar attempt was made within Galloway to establish his illegitimate son, Tho
mas, as ruler, but this failed, and Galloway's period as an independent po
litical entity came to an end.
Alan He had three daughters and an illegitimate son Thomas. The 'Communi

upported the daughters (or rather their husbands) and invaded Galloway. T
he Community of Galloway was defeated, and Galloway divided up between Ala

8th Earl of Huntingdon
David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon (born c. 1144, died 17 June 121
9) was a Scottish prince. He was the youngest surviving son of Henry of Sc
otland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne, a daughter of Willi
am de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, and Elizabeth de Vermandois. His patern
al grandfather was David I of Scotland. Huntingdon was granted to him aft
er his elder brother William I of Scotland ascended the throne. David's s
on John succeeded him to the earldom.
In the litigation for succession to the crown of Scotland in 1290-1292, Da
vid's sister's (Ada's) great-great-grandson Floris V, Count of Holland (w
ho also then pursued the throne for himself) claimed that Earl David had r
enounced his hereditary rights to the throne of Scotland. The veraci
ty of renunciation cannot have otherwise been ascertained, nor its reasons
.
He married Maude of Chester, daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc, 3rd Earl of Che
ster, by whom he had three sons (John, Robert, and Henry) and four daughte
rs (Matilda, Ada, Isobel, and Margaret). After the extinction of the seni
or line of the Scottish royal house in 1290 when the legitimate line of Wi
lliam I of Scotland ended, David's descendants were the prime candidates f
or the throne. The two most notable claimants to the throne, Robert Bruc
e, 5th Lord of Annandale (grandfather of King Robert I of Scotland) and Jo
hn of Scotland were his descendants through David's daughters Isobel of Hu
ntingdon and Margaret of Huntingdon respectively.

Spouse: (1st) Eadgyth, daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland; (2 nd)

Contemporaries: Louis VI ("Louis the Fa t", King of France, 1108-1137), Ro
ger of Salisbury, Anselm (Archbishop of Can terbury), Pope Pascal II Hen
ry I, the most resilient of the Norman kings (his reign lasted thirty-fi
ve years), was nicknamed "Beauclerc" (fine scholar) for his above avera
ge education. During his reign, the differences between Eng lish and Norm
an society began to slowly evaporate. Reforms in the royal treas ury syst
em became the foundation upon which later kings built. The stability Hen
ry afforded the throne was offset by problems in succession: his only su
rv iving son, William, was lost in the wreck of the White Ship in Novemb
er 1120. The first years of Henry's reign were concerned with subduing Nor
mandy. William the Conqueror divided his kingdoms between Henry's older br
others, leaving England to William Rufus and Normandy to Robert. Henry inh
erited no land but received £5000 in silver. He played each brother o
ff of the other during their quarrels; both distrusted Henry and subsequen
tly signed a mutual accessi on treaty barring Henry from the crown. Henry
's hope arose when Robert depart ed for the Holy Land on the First Crusad
e; should William die, Henry was the obvious heir. Henry was in the woo
ds hunting on the morning of August 2, 1100 when William Rufus was kill
ed by an arrow. His quick movement in securing the crown on August 5 led m
any to believe he was responsible for his brother's death. In his coronati
on charter, Henry denounced William's oppressive policies and promising go
od government in an effort to appease his barons. Robert returned to Norma
ndy a few weeks later but escaped final defeat until the Battle of Tincheb
rai in 1106; Robert was captured and lived the remaining twenty-eight yea
rs of his life as Henry's prisoner. Henry was drawn into controvers y wi
th a rapidly expanding Church. Lay investiture, the king's selling of c
le rgy appointments, was heavily opposed by Gregorian reformers in the Chu
rch bu t was a cornerstone of
Norman government. Henry recalled Anselm of Bec to the archbishopric of Ca
nterbury to gain baronial support, but the stubborn Ansel m refus
ed to do homage to Henry for his lands. The situation remained unresol v
ed until Pope Paschal II threatened Henry with excommunication in 110
5. He reached a compromise with the papacy: Henry rescinded the king's div
ine authority in conferring sacred offices but appointees continu
ed to do homage for
their fiefs. In practice, it changed little - the king maintained the deci
ding voice in appointing ecclesiastical offices - but it a marked a poi
nt where kingship became purely secular and subservient in the eyes of t
he Church. By 1106, both the quarrels with the church and the conque
st of Normandy were settled and Henry concentrated on expanding royal powe
r. He mixed generosity wi th violence in motivating allegiance to the cro
wn and appointing loyal and gifted men to administrative positions. By rai
sing men out of obscurity for such appointments, Henry began to rely le
ss on landed barons as ministers and created a loyal bureaucracy. He was d
eeply involved in continental affairs and therefore spent almost half of h
is time in Normandy, prompting him to create the position of justiciar - t
he most trusted of all the king's officials, the justiciar literally rul
ed in the king's stead. Roger of Salisbury, the first justiciar, was instr

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
" De Garenes i vint Willeme " is all we lear n from Wace about his
appearance at Hastings, except that his helmet fitted h im admirably,
"Mult li sist bien et chief li helme;" for the mention of which
interesting circumstance I suspect the gallant knight is more indebted to
rhyme than to record — to the art of poetry rather than to the skill of
his a rmourer. Fortunately we have made his acquaintance some time
previous to the Conquest, and there are circumstances of much more
importance and interest co nnected with him than the well-fitting of his
helmet. His parentage has been variously represented, and that of his
wife the subject of the keenest contro versy.
To begin with the beginning. Without bewildering the reader with the
conflicting accounts of the early contemporary chroniclers, and the
unsatisfa ctory conclusions of more recent writers, I will at once refer
to the earlies t mention of William De Warren in history that I am aware
of, which occurs in Orderic Vital's account of the battle of Mortemer and
its results in 1054. " Duke William," he tells us, "being enraged by the
shelter and safe conduct gr anted by Roger De Mortemer, who commanded the
Norman forces on that occasion, to the Comte De Montdidier, who had
fought on the siDe of the French and tak en refuge in the Castle of
Mortemer, banished Roger from Normandy and confisc ated all his
possessions;" but being afterwards reconciled to him he restored them to
him, with the exception of the Castle of Mortemer, which the Duke ga ve to
William De Warren, "one of his loyal young vassals," whom Orderic makes
the Conqueror describe as a cousin or kinsman of De Mortemer,
acknowledgin g no consanguinity to himself.
The probabilities are that he was the son of a Ralph De Warren, a
benefactor to the abbey of La Trinité du Mont about the mi ddle of the
11th century, who, as well as Roger De Mortemer, Nicholas De Basq ueville,
Walter De St. Martin, and many others, were the issue of some of the
numerous nieces of the Duchess Gonnor ("Nepotes plures predicta
Gunnora"), who have been inaccurately set down as kinsmen instead of
distant connection s of her great-grandson the Conqueror.
William De Warren, to whom the Duke of Normandy gave the Castle of
Mortemer, was a young man, we are told, at that p eriod, and would,
therefore, scarcely have attained the prime of life in 1066 . He is named
amongst the principal persons summoned to attend the Council at
Lillebonne, when the invasion of England was decided upon, and was no
doub t present in the great battle, for his services in which he received
as his s hare of the spoil some three hundred manors, nearly half that
number being in the county of Norfolk.
In 1067, on the King's departure for Normandy, William De Warren was
joined with Hugh De Grentmesnil, Hugh De Montfort, and other v aliant men
in the government of England, under the superior jurisdiction of t he
Earl-bishop Odo and William Fitz 0sbern.
In 1074, on the breaking out of the rebellion of Roger, Earl of Hereford,
and Ralph, Earl of Norfolk, we find him associated with Richard de
Bienfaite as Chief Justiciaries of England, a nd summoning the rebels to
appear before the King's High Court; and on their refusal, William de
Warren with Robert, son of William Malet, marched against Earl Ralph, and
routing the rebels at Fagadune, pursued them to Norwich, tak ing many
prisoners, whom, according to the barbarous practice of the age, the y
mutilated by chopping off the right foot—an unmistakable proof that the
s ufferers had taken a step in the wrong direction.
Of his personal prowess no s pecial anecdote has been preserved, and it is
as the husband of the mysteriou s Gundred, or Gundrada, that his name has
descended to the present day with a ny special interest attached to it.

REFN: P1871
Waltheof, 1st Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton (d. 1076) was the la
st of the Anglo-Saxon earls, remaining in England for a decaDe after the N
orman conquest.
He was a son of Earl Siward of Northumbria, and, although he was probab
ly educated for a monastic life, became Earl of Huntingdon and Earl of Nor
thumberland about 1065. After the Battle of Hastings he submitted to Willi
am the Conqueror; but when Sweyn II of Denmark invaded Northern Engla
nd in 1069 he joined him with Edgar Ætheling and took part in the atta
ck on York, only, however, to make a fresh submission after their departu
re in 1070. Then, restored to his earldom, he married William's niece, Jud
ith, and in 1072 was appointed Earl of Northampton.
The Domesday Book (ordered to be prepared by William the Conqueror, and fi
nally completed in 1086) mentioned Waltheof ("Walleff"); "'In Hallam ("Hal
un"), one manor with its sixteen hamlets, there are twenty-nine carucat
es [~14 km²] to be taxed. There Earl Waltheof had an "Aula" [hall or court
]. There may have been about twenty ploughs. This land Roger De Busli hol
ds of the Countess Judith." (Hallam, or Hallamshire, is now part of the ci
ty of Sheffield, in the county of South Yorkshire).
In 1075 Waltheof joined the conspiracy against the king arranged by the ea
rls of Norfolk and Hereford; but soon repenting of his action he confess
ed his guilt to Archbishop Lanfranc, and then to William, who was in Norma
ndy. Returning to England with William he was arrested, and after being br
ought twice before the king's court was sentenced to death. On the 31
st of May 1076 he was beheaded on St. Giles's Hill, near Winchester. We
ak and unreliable in character, Waltheof, like his father, is said to ha
ve been a man of immense bodily strength. Devout and charitable, he was re
garded by the English as a martyr, and miracles were said to have been wor
ked at his tomb at Crowland.
Family and children
He was married 1070 with Judith of Lens, daughter of Lambert II, Cou
nt of Lens and Adeliza, Countess of Aumale and had three daughters, the el
dest of whom, Matilda, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second hus
band, David I of Scotland. One of Waltheof's grandsons was Waltheof (d. 11
59), abbot of Melrose. His creation of the earldom of Northampton, howeve
r, died with him, and he would remain the last to hold a Saxon-era title u
ntil the Earl of Wessex nearly a thousand years later.

An important participant in English po litics on the eve of the Norman
Cponquest. He was twice exiled from England, probably because of his
opposition to the apparently inexorable rise to power of Harold II,
Tostig and other sons of Earl Godwine of Wessex. He was able t o maintain
his status and pass his earldom on to his son Edwin because he cou ld rely
on Welsh military support to secure his reinstatement in Mercia. Sour ce:

Shot by an arrow while hunting in the New Forest. [1] In the year one thou
sand and eighty-seven from the fullness of time in which the Truth arose f
rom the earth, Robert, the eldest son, succeeded his father in the duc
hy of Normandy, and William, surnamed Rufus, in the king dom of England; t
his was in inverted order, it is true, but it was so ordained (as has alre
ady been said) by the last will of their father. In consequence of this, s
ome of the nobility inclined to Robert, as the lawful heir, who wa s unjus
tly deprived, and thus they disturbed the tranquillity of the kingdo
m. At first, William governed but feebly, and with difficulty; but to conc
iliate the minds of his subjects, he conducted himself with modesty and mi
ldness; the moment, however, that his empire was firmly established by t
he subjugatio n of his enemies, and the indolence of his brother, his hea
rt was elevated. He appeared to be in prosperity (what in adversity he h
ad carefully concealed) a man void of understanding, and inconstant in a
ll his ways, impious towards God and grievous to the church; a disregard
er of marriage, thoroughly wanton , draining the resources of the kingd
om by the most lavish expenditure, and , when these failed, seizing on t
he property of his subjects for such like purposes. He was a model of t
he most consummate pride; and, in disgust at, or e ven in derision of, div
ine truth, altogether wallowed in
the foulest sensuali ty of temporal glory. [2] His elder brother, Robert (
to whom, indeed, the succession to the crown pertained in natural order) w
as of a less haughty and ferocious disposition; but he proved, in the less
er administration of the duchy of Normandy, how incompetent he was for t
he management of an extensive monarchy. In arms, however, he was so conspi
cuous, that, in the great and famous expedition to Jerusalem, he was emine
ntly distinguished for
military glory am ong the noblest chieftains of the world. Henry, the youn
ger born, a man of am iable disposition, engaged in war against his unnatu
ral and faithless brothers -- for they, giving him nothing of their own, e
ven defrauded him of what hi s father bad bequeathed him by will; and whil
st they were envious of him, as he was gradually rising into notice, he pr
udently evaded stratagems, and secured his safety. [3] About this time, An
selm, abbot of Bec, a holy man and mighty in the word of God, who also w
as a Lombard by nation, succeeded Lanfranc, archbishop of Canterbury, w
ho now went the way of all flesh; he had
formerl y been his pupil. Gerard, too, succeeded to the archbishopric of Y
ork, on the death of Thomas. [4] During this king's reign the Lord stirr
ed up the spirit of the Christians against the Saracens, who had, by the h
idden decree of God, so long possessed, as it were by hereditary right, t
he sanctuary of the Lord, that is to say, those holy places where our rede
mption was consummated. I n consequence of this, a vast concourse of Chris
tian people was gathered toge ther by the pious labors of Urban, the Rom
an pontiff, and other servants of G od. The most valiant princes, distingu
ished by the ensign of Christ, and accompanied by a numerous army, aft
er a most toilsome march, penetrated to the kingdoms of the East; and by t
heir pious and successful exertions, captured those magnificent cities, Ni
cea in Bithynia, and Antioch in Syria; and, ultimately, the Holy City itse
lf; among those leaders, Robert, duke of Normandy, was signally conspicuou
s. When preparing for this expedition with the other Chris tian princes, h
e, finding his pecuniary resources insufficient, pledged Normandy to his
brother William for a considerable sum. He then entered on this meritorio
us expedition with the other Christian princes, and having finished his ca
reer successfully, returned, after many years absence, to his own country.

Alias:<ALIA> /Adeliza/
REFN: P1908
Born: circa 1103 in Louvain, Leeuwen, Brab ant, Belgium, daughter of
Godefroy I, Duke De Lorraine and IDe De Namur. Marr ied on 29 Jan 1121:
Henry I, King of England, son of Guillaume, Duke De Norma ndie and
Mathilde-Maud De Flandre. AdelaiDe was Henri I’s second wife and he was
her first husband. At 15 years of age, she therefore married this 50-year
old widower. Perhaps understandably, her true passion was said to be
needl ework. Married before 1128: Guillaume d’Aubigny, son of William
d’Aubigny and Cecily Bigod (source- a pedigree purchased at Arundel
Castle). Married befor e 1149: Gilbert De Ville. It is unclear whether
Gilbert was Adelaide’s second or third husband. Some sources indicate she
bore her second husband some 7 c hildren, and his name was Albini. Died:
on 23 Apr 1151 in Afflighem, Flandre, Belgium. AdelaiDe was 48 years of
age when she died. Some sources indicate A deliza De Louvain, who was the
widow of Henri I and married Guillaume d’Aubig ny/De Albini, died in 1176.
In hopes of further legitimate issue King Henry ma rried again after the
loss of his only son William. His bride, whose age is u ncertain but who
was certainly younger than his daughter Matilda, was Adeliza , the
daughter of Godfrey the Bearded, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Marquess of
Antwerp, and Count of Louvain. The marriage took place at Windsor on 29
Janua ry 1122.
The coronation of the new Queen at Westminster Abbey on 3 February 11 22
gave rise to an amusing incident. The King, wearing his crown, had taken
his seat on the throne to await his consort’s crowning when the aged
Archbis hop Ralph d’Escures, verging on senility, entered. Seeing the King
he flew in to a rage, thinking that his right to place the crown on the
sovereign’s head had been infringed. He at once snatched the crown from
the King’s head (one version has it that he knocked it off with his
pastoral staff) and insisted o n reimposing it with his own hands. Henry’s
second marriage remained childles s; the once potent sire of many
illegitimate children was potent no longer.
In 1138 the young widowed Queen married William d’Aubigny, 1st Earl of
ArunDe l, to whom she bore a large family before, wearied by married life,
she retir ed to the convent of Afflighem in Flanders, where she died and
was buried in March or April 1151.

Commander of Continental Army at the battle of Bunker Hill.
He wa s a member of the Sons of Liberty and a selectman. Upon receiving
the news of the Battle of Lexington, he mounted his horse and roDe to
Cambridge (MA). Fr om that time until the Battle of Bunker Hill, he was
(as Brigadier-General) a ctively engaged. He was in command at Bunker
Hill. When Washington took comma nd of the army in July he was made
Major-General, and was near the Commander -In-Chief during all the
investment and siege of Boston. His service from tha t time is the
familiar record of history in full command of New York, the Bat tle of
Long Island, the movements above the Hudson, building of West Point, e tc.
In 1779 he was struck by paralysis and compelled to leave the army. He
retired to Pomfret, CT, where he lived quietly, strong in life, but
stricken in body until his death. Reference: Heirman's Register page 338.
Distinguished Revolutionary Officer.
General Israel Putnam, who excelled both in war and pe ace, will ever live
in the history of this nation, and his memory is especial ly dear to the
people of Connecticut, where his active life was passed.
From a multituDe of New England ancestors he inherited those qualities
which made him preeminent; qualities which made the New Englander
preeminent in the set tlement and development of the United States;
qualities which have establishe d everywhere the school, the church and
the printing press, the leading instr uments in the progress of
civilization.
The ancestry of the American family of Putnam has been traced to a very
remote period in England, the first being Simon de'Puttenham, who lived
in 1199 and was probably a lineal descendant o f Roger, the manor of
Puttenham under Bishop of Baieux. The parish of Puttenh am is in
Hertfordshire, close to the border of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshi re.
The first American ancestor, John Putnam, of the seventeenth generation
was baptized at Wingrove, County Bucks, January 17, 1579. He was an early
set tler at Salem, Massachusetts, and in that vicinity the family has been
conspi cuous down to the present day.
His son, Lieutenant Thomas Putnam, baptized in England, 1615, resided in
Salem Village, now Danvers, and was father of Josep h Putnam, born there.
His opposition to the witchcraft trials of Salem indica tes the sound
sense of the latter. This was a source of peril to him, and for six
months one of his fleetest horses was kept saddled, ready at a moment's
notice to bear him from the wrath of his contemporaries. He married
Elizabe th Porter, and Israel Putnam was their fourth son, born January 7,
1718, in D anvers. He died after an illness of two days in Brooklyn,
Connecticut, May 29 , 1790. The house in which he was born was built by
his grandfather, and is s till standing.
Israel Putnam had a rather meager education in the common schoo ls of his
native town, and he was very early accustomed to the arduous labors of
the farm. When he attained his majority, a portion of the paternal farm
was set off to him, and on it he built a small house, but soon after
removed to Pomfret, Connecticut, where, in association with his
brother-in-law, John Pope, he purchased a tract of five hundred acres of
land. He became sole own er of this in 1741, and there he built as his
second residence, a large frame house, which is still standing, and one
of the points of interest to all tou rists and patriotic Americans. This
was in the district known as Mortlake Man or, which was incorporated as
the town of Brooklyn in 1786. He cleared his fa rm of the native forest
and planted fine orchards; the great shaDe trees of B rooklyn were planted
largely through his initiative and influence. He was not only a thrifty
and prosperous farmer, but from first to last an earnest and helpful
friend of the town and colony in which he lived. The story of his kil ling

The following from New hall's History of Lynn, Massachusetts:
P 151: Henry Collins was a starchmaker and lived in Essex Street. He
embarked in the Abigail of London 30th of June 1635. In 1639 he was a
member of the Salem Court. He was born in 1606 and was buried 20 February
1687 at the age of 81. His wife Ann was born in 1605. His children were
Henry, born 1630; John, born 1632; Margery, born 1633 and Jose ph, born
1635, and his descendants
remain."
P 171: "A town meeting was held this year in which Daniel Howe, Richard
Walker and Henry Collins were chosen a committee to diviDe the lands, or
as it was expressed in the records: "To lay out farmes." The land was
laid out in those parts of the town best adapte d for cultivation, and the
woodlands were were reserved as common property ca lled the "Town Common"
and was not divided until 69 years afterward."
In a l ist of names, about one hundred in number, recorded in the town
records in th e year 1638, which follows the above extract, appears the
following: "Henry C ollins up-land and meadow 80 acres and ten." The ten
acres was a separate
al lotment and was undoubtedly his village or town lot where he resided.
Other re ferences to the name Henry Collins in the public records of Lynn
show that he was a man of importance in that community, was frequently
called upon
to pe rform duties of public trust and confidence and sometimes acted as a
n
advocato r in trials.
A. Chalkely Collins of Great Barrington, Massachusetts in a lette r dated
August 16, 1900, says: "Henry Collins belonged to the Parish Stepney in
the eastern part of the present city of London and worshipped in the Old
Parish Church at that place. This Parish Church of Stepney, dedicated to
Sai nt Dunstan, is the oldest in East London and one of the oldest in all
London. Before Dunstan rebuilt the the church in the tenth century, there
was a Saxo n church there dedicated to all saints. The present church was
built in the t ime of Edward IV, 1471-1483, a few relics of the previous
church being preser ved. According to the church records, several of the
children of Henry Collin s were baptized in this church, among whom was
his son John at the age of eig ht days on January 22, 1631. Henry's place
of aboDe is recorded in this recor d as Tatcliff Highway, and his business
was that of a starchmaker. His wife, Ann, died at Lynn, Massachusetts
probably in 1690, as her will dated 1690 was probated that year."
Henry Collins, born England about 1606 (per License to g o Beyond the Seas
dated 30 June 1635) died Lynn, Massachusetts 20 February 168 7 (Lynn Vital
Records), married in England to Ann, who was born about 1605 an d died
about 1690 in Lynn, Massachusetts. (A Genealogy of One Line of

into print in a family history of the Stewarts of Appin. (6) The Appin his
tory combined the local oral traditions evidenced by McCrombie's tale wi
th the
authority' of manuscript accounts of the Stewarts of Appin and the MacLare
ns of Ardvech. The editors of the history also had recourse to the print
ed documentary sources then available for late medieval Scotland. The resu
lt was a rousing, but still apparently fabulous, account which explained t
he origins of Stewart lordship in Appin in the fifteenth century. Agreei
ng with MacCombie, the Appin history asserted that the progenitor of the S
tewarts of Appin was Dougall, an illegitimate son of John Stewart, lo
rd of Lorn. The tale narrated how, late in life, John Stewart (also kno
wn to tradition as John Mourach or Leper John) decided to marry Dougall
's mother, a daughter of the MacLaren lord of Ardvech (near Lochearnhead
), and retrospectively legitimise their son so that he might succeed to t
he lordship of Lorn. On the morning of the wedding, as John's bride-to-
be and his son approached Dunstaffnage Castle with a MacLaren escort, bann
ers flying and pipes playing, the Lord of Lorn received a fatal wound fr
om an assassin, Allan McDougal. John was made of stern stuff, however, a
nd if there is any substance to his byname he may have been long prepar
ed for his own death and long inured to physical suffering. In a melodrama
tic conclusion to the tale the old lord, his life ebbing away, ground thro
ugh the marriage ceremony in order to secure the lordship for his son. Aft
er John's death, the Appin history resentfully records the sweeping asi
De of Dougall's rights by the naked political and military power of his ad
versaries, notably Colin Campbell, earl of Argyll and his uncle Colin Camp
bell of Clenorchy, who were married to Dougall's legitimate sisters.' (7)
At first sight the Stewart tale seems an obvious invention, the wish fulfi
llment of a family whose illegitimate ancestor was rightly debarred from s
ucceeding to his father's lands and title. Manuscript histories associat
ed with Clan Campbell, such as the Black Book of Taymouth, proviDe a far m
ore prosaic and bland account of the circumstances behind Earl Colin's acq
uisition of Lorn. The earl's right, we are told, rested squarely on his ma
rriage to Isabel Stewart, one of three daughters and co-heiresses of Jo
hn Stewart, the last Stewart lord of Lorn who was…

Edelrad [son of Malcolm III], apparently Earl of Fife, who fl. early 12
th century and was also Abbot of Dunkeld; possibly the same person as Et

Burke's Peerage, page 1058, on the Earldom of Fife, previous creations:
Fife, constituted one of the Mormaerships into which much of pre-1st Mille
nnium Scotland was divided. By the beginning of the 12th century the form
er Mormaer of Fife was beginning to be called Earl of Fife. The first of t
he new designation seems to have been Beth, who as either Earl of Fi
fe or Moray (more probably the former) is recorded as having been acti
ve in 1115. (The historic figure Macbeth was son of a Mormaer of Moray, a
nd since "Mac" means "son of" there may be a connection.) However, anoth
er figure referred to as Earl of Fife about the same time, that is to s
ay during the reign of David I (reigned 1124-1153), is a shadowy persona
ge called in contemporary documents either "Ed" or "Head" and identifi
ed by leading authorities with Edelread, son of Malcolm III (reigned 1058-
93). Yet a third Earl of Fife appears to have existed in the person of Con
stantine, who died in the late 1120's. (It is possible that "Ed/Head" w
as really Earl of Forthreve.
The first person to hold the Earldom of Fife on a hereditary basis may we
ll have been Gillemicel MacDuff, who died about the mid-1130's. Certain
ly the title remained in his family, passing almost always from fath
er to son, till 1353, when the 8th Earl's only child, Elizabeth or Isabe
l, became Countess of Fife. She married four times, each of her husbands b
eing known as Earl of Fife in right of his wife. She died without issue, h
aving made over the Earldom to her second husband's brother Robert Stewar
t, Earl of Menteith, her 2nd husband and he being second and third sons re
spectively of Robert II.

on of Malcolm III), Abbot of Dunkeld, and, according to some accounts, Ea

Alexander I (c. 1078 - April 1124), kin g of Scotland, was the fourth son
of Malcolm Canmore by his wife (St) Margare t, grand-niece of Edward the
Confessor.
On the death of his brother Edgar in 1107 he succeeded to the Scottish
crown; but, in accordance with Edgar's ins tructions, he inherited only a
part of its possessions. By a partition, the m otive of which is not quite
certain, the districts south of the Forth and Cly De were erected into an
earldom for Alexander's younger brother, David.
Alex ander, dissatisfied, sought to obtain the whole, but without success.
A curio us combination of the fierce warrior and the pious churchman, he
manifested t he one aspect of his character in his ruthless suppression of
an insurrection on behalf of the descendants of Lulach in his northern
dominion (thus gainin g for himself the title of "the Fierce"), the other
in his munificent foundat ion of bishoprics and abbeys. Among the latter
were those of Scone and Inchco lm.
In 1107, he married Sybilla, an illegitimate daughter of Henry I of
Engl and. The exact date and the location of the marriage are not
recorded. Sybill a died in unrecorded circumstances near a lake on the
Island of the Woman (Ei lean nam Bain) in July, 1122 . The marriage
produced no children. Alexander's strong championing of the independence
of the Scottish church involved him i n struggles with both of the English
metropolitan sees. He died on April 23, 25 or 27, 1124; his brother,
David I succeeded him.

er was among the Norman landowners who emigrated to Scotland by invitati
on of King David I of Scotland, who also held land in England as Earl of H
untingdon. This Comyn family were direct male descendants of Robert Comin
e, Earl of Northumbria. Richard is known to have had 3 brothers: William (
d. 1142), Osbert (d. 1144) and Walter, who is mentioned in a monastic char
ter from of 1162 or earlier, from Hexham Abbey .
Richard was probably born between 1115 and 1123. In 1144 William Comyn ga

NEVILLE
From the thirteenth to the sixteenth century the Nevilles were
undoubtedly the most important barons in
the County of Durham. Origina ting from Neville-Seine-Maritime in France,
from which they took their
name, they came to England at the time of the Norman conquest when a
Henry De Nevi lle commanded
William the Conqueror's fleet. The Nevilles intermarried with a powerful
Saxon family called the
Bulmers, took the Bull's Head as their embl em and became the Lords of
Raby and Brancepeth. At the
Battle of Nevilles Cr oss, near Durham City on 17th October 1346, Ralph
Neville of Raby Castle led
the English army in their famous victory over the Scots and became the
first layman to be allowed
burial in Durham Cathedral. His son John Neville, also b uried in the
cathedral donated the famous
Neville Screen for the great build ing in 1375. On Nevilles orders, the
beautiful ornamented screen was
shipped to Newcastle in sections and then brought to Durham by cart.
Perhaps the mos t famous
Neville of all, though not directly connected with Durham was Richard
Neville, the Earl of Warwick,
who was known as Warwick the Kingmaker becaus e of his influence over
whether Edward IV or
Henry VI wore the English Crown . The power and influence of the Nevilles
in Durham came to a
dramatic end i n 1569 when the Nevilles, along with the equally powerful
Percy family of Aln wick in
Northumberland, plotted to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I in what came to be
known as the Rising of
the North. The rising failed, the Nevilles fled i nto exile and all their
Durham properties were
confiscated.

1532 Werne Trelowarth REFN: 2222AN
Werne (Wearne) TRELOWARTH was born about 1532 in Wendron, CON and was buri
ed on 6 Mar 1585 in Wendron, CON. A respected researcher Edward MARTIN, co
nsiders that Wearne, who was described in the 1569 Muster as an able Billm
an, with a bill, is in fact the father of Robert and the main ancest
or of the later Treloar families. He believes also that some of the childr
en assigned by Orson Treloar to Robert were children of Wearne. I have the
refore made some changes to the origins of the family. I agree with his lo
gic, which includes the fact that in the records none of the children assi
gned by Orson to Robert had a son named Robert. However, each of Robert a
nd John, had a son named Wearne. Part of the reasoning is that although th
ere is a 30-year difference between the marriages of Robert and Bennet (al
so known as Benedict), it is possible that they were brothers. Robert cou
ld have married young and Bennet the youngest at an older age, after havi
ng cared for ageing parents. At present there is no way of knowing for cer
tain what the relationship was, but the family group was quite small in t
he 16th and early 17th century and therefore the relationship is like
ly to have been close. The early records also show that other earlier gene
rations had the names Thomas and Ralph in them and Bennet had sons with th
ose names. It is possible that Wearne's father was Ralph Trelowarth who ap
peared in the Valuation and Muster at Wendron in 1522 and shown as havi
ng 12 pounds in goods and was armed with a bill, jack and sallet. Ralph w
as also in the Lay Subsidy at Wendron in 1524 with same valuation. A Ral
ph also appeared in the Muster of Tinners at Wendron in 1535, armed wi
th a bill. Raw or Ralph was also listed in the 1543 Lay Subsidy Roll in 15
43 but not in Muster of 1569. A John appeared in 1522 in Wendron, and a Th
omas at Helston same year. The name Ralph re-appeared in later generations

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
The owner of this great historical name, who accompanied the Conqueror to
England, was apparently the son of Robert le Bi god, the first of the name
of whom we have any notice, and who was a witness to the foundation of
St. Philibert-sur-Risle, in 1066. Wace, in his enumerati on of the leaders
in the host at Hastings, designates the member of this fami ly simply as
the ancestor of Hugh le Bigot, Lord of Maletot, Loges, and Canon .
"L'Ancestre Hue le Bigot
Ki avoit terre a Maletot,
Etais Loges et a Chanon ."
Roman De Rou, I. 1377.
Maletot is near Caen, Canon (Chanon) is in the arro ndissement of Lisieux,
and Loges may have been either Les Loges, near Aunay, or another commune
of the same name in the neighbourhood of Falaise. (Le Prév ost: Notes to
Le Rom. De Rou, vol. ii, p. 256.) The possession of these lands in
Normandy by "the ancestor of Hugh le Bigot" is a curious fact, taken into
consideration with the account the monk of Jumièges gives of this
ancestor . Robert le Bigod, he tells us, was a knight in the service of
William Werlen c, or the Warling, Comte De Mortain, and so poor that he
prayed his lord to p ermit him to go and seek his fortune in Apulia, where
his countrymen were est ablishing themselves and acquiring wealth and
dignity under the leadership of Robert Guiscard. The Count baDe him
remain, assuring him that within eighty days he (Robert) would be in a
position to help himself to whatever he desire d in Normandy.
Whether the Count contemplated the deposition of Duke William, or was
privy to the design of others, may never be known, but Robert le Bigod ,
inferring from this advice that some rebellious movement was projected,
r epaired to Richard Goz, Vicomte of the Hiemois, who was at that moment
highly in favour with the Duke, and requested him to obtain an audience
for him. Ri chard, who, according to the same authority, was a kinsman of
Robert -- it wo uld be interesting to learn how -- readily complied, and
Le Bigod having repe ated to the Duke the words of the Warling, the latter
was instantly summoned to attend him, accused of treason, banished the
country, and the Comté of Mor tain was bestowed upon the Duke's
half-brother Robert, the son of Herleve by Herluin. That William jumped
at this opportunity to rid himself of a possible competitor whose claim
to the duchy was clearly stronger than his own, and a t the same time to
advance one of his own family who would have no such prete nsions, there
can be no doubt. The truth or falsehood of the story told to hi m by
Robert le Bigod has never been established. The defence of the accused,
if he made any, has not been recorded; and even Mr. Freeman admits that
the Duke's "justice, if justice it was, fell so sharply and speedily as
to look very like interested oppression." (Norm. Conq., vol. ii., p.
290.) We have se en in the previous notice of Raoul De Gael what opinion
was held in his own d ays of this suspicious act of the Conqueror. From
that moment Robert le Bigod became a confidential servant of his
sovereign, and his son Roger was the co mpanion of the Conqueror, who for
his services at Senlac received large grant s of land in the counties of
Essex and Suffolk, six lordships in the former a nd one hundred and
seventeen in the latter.
Mons le Prévost remarks that Wac e, always inclined to treat the present
as the past, has attributed to Roger the office of seneschal, which was
only enjoyed by his second son William. Wi th all deference, I think the
learned antiquary has misunderstood his author. Wace is not speaking of
Roger le Bigod, the father of Hugh and William, but of "the ancestor of
Hugh," Robert, as I take it, "who served the Duke in his house as one of
his seneschals, which office he held in fee."
Mr. Taylor rem arks that there is no authority for this statemen

William Acie immigrated from England, possibly from Yorkshire, Cottingham
Parish (where he was baptized March 18, 1620) or Kirk Ella (where he was
married Mar. 25, 1620). Another reseacher pr ovided an alternative wedding
date of Jan 25, 1620, but also at Kirk Ella. Ep pleworth, near Hull is
another possible place of birth/residence suggested by other researchers.
[NOTE: Kirk Ella Parish is adjacent to Cottingham Parish. The town of
Willerby where the Acies owned an oxgang of land lies in both Co ttingham
and Kirk Ella Parishes]
William was living in Rowley, Essex Co, MA as early a s 1643 where he h
ad a grant of
land. He also bought land in Topsfield, but co ntinued to live in Rowley.
He was constable in 1654 and held other town offic es. He was "very aged"
when he made his will April 22, 1689; it was proved Se pt 30, 1690.
William was a Proprietor of Rowley in 1643 and a town officer. Wi fe
Margaret. He made an agreement April 21, 1675 with son John and daughter
Mary, wife of Charles Brown, concerning his estate. Will dated 22 April
1689 , being very aged, probated 30 Sept. 1690; grandchildren John Brown
of Rowley , Nathaniel and Ebenezer B.; son John A.'s 3 daughters

According to "I mmigrants to America Before 1750," in the "Magazine of
American Genealogy," A ug., 1929, he was at Rowley in 1643; at Boston in
1657 and again at Rowley in 1677. A son Joseph was baptized at the First
Church, Boston 28 June 1657, ac cording to Savage, but if indeed the same
William was the father, it was like ly by another wife.

Lulach (c1029- March 17, 1058) was made king of Scotland b y the followe
rs of Macbeth, his stepfather. He ruled for only a few months fr om 1057-1
058 before being killed by Malcolm III of Scotland (Malcolm Canmore) who s
ucceeded him. Lulach appears to have been a weak king, and was known a s "
Lulach the
Simple". He does, however, have the distinction of being the first ki

Lulach (Lulach mac Gillai Comgain) (c. 1029 – March 17, 1058), was Ki

He appears to have been a weak king, and was indeed known as Lulach the Si

Lulach was said to be the son of princess Gruoch of Scotland (Lady Macbeth
), from her first marriage to Gilla Coemgáin, Mormaer of Moray, and thus t
he stepson of Mac Bethad. Following the death in battle of Macbeth in 105
7, the king's followers placed Lulach in the throne, despite strong resist
ance from the of faction of Máel Coluim III. Lulach ruled only for a few m

Edgar Atheling,or Prince Edgar, son of Edward Atheling, also called Edwa
rd the Outlaw, and grandson of Edmund Ironside, was probably born in Hunga
ry, whither his father and uncle, then children, had been sent after the a
ccession of Canute. He came to England with his father in 1057, but thou
gh he was rightful heir to the throne on the death of Edward the Confesso
r, his claims were passed over. After the fall of Harold a t the batt
le of Hastings, he was actually proclaimed king at London, and appea
rs to have been recognized for some time as such; however, he was one of t
he first to profess submission to the Conqueror, whom in the next ye
ar he followed into Normandy. In 1068 he was in Scotland, and his sister M
argaret was married not long after to King Malcolm. He took part in the in
vasion of England and the storming of York Castle in 1069, and was induc
ed on several occasions subsequently to make rash attempts of a similar ki
nd, followed by formal reconciliation with William. In 1086 he went to Ita
ly, and is said to have joined the Norman bands there. In 1098 his nephew
Edgar, with his aid, was rais ed to the Scottish throne. In the civil w
ar between Henry I. and his brother Robert, duke of Normandy, Edgar join
ed the latter, and was captured by Henry at the battle of Tinchebrai in 11
06. The year of his death is unknown.
EDGAR ATHELING (r. Oct-Dec 1066)
Edgar the Atheling was a grandson of Edmund II IronsiDe and a great-grands
on of Ethelred 'The Unready'. After the Norman invasion, he mounted a bri
ef rebellion, wresting control for a short period at the end of 1066, b
ut was later put down by William I.
Edgar was the heir to the Saxon throne in England who went into excile wh

REFN: P2357
John Comyn, Earl of Buchan (died 1308) was a Scottish nobleman and an impo
rtant opponent of King Robert I of Scotland in the civil war that parallel
ed the War of Scottish Independence. He should not be confused with the be
tter known John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, who was his cousin, and who w
as killed by Bruce in Dumfries in 1306. Buchan was the representati
ve of a family that had long dominated the politics of Scotland. His ultim
ate defeat by Bruce entailed a significant-and lasting-shift in the balan
ce of power, especially in the north of Scotland, the Comyn heartland.
The Comyns of Buchan
The Comyns, a family of Norman origin, first made their appearance in Scot
land during the reign of David I. In 1136 William Cumin, who had former
ly been in the service of Henry I of England, became Chancellor of Scotlan
d. William Cumin was part of a new class of foreigners whose power and sta
tus in Scotland was entirely dependent on their service to the king, and w
ere to be used by David and his successors in extending royal authori
ty to the semi-independent fringes of the kingdom. The Comyns first gran
ts of land were in the south of Scotland; but in 1212 they made their mo
st significant advance when William Comyn, Justiciar of Scotia, married Ma
rjorie, the only child and heir of Fergus, the "earl" or mormaer of Bucha
n, a lordship encompassing a large area in the north-east of Scotland. Wh
en their son Alexander succeeded them, the Comyns became the first fami
ly of Norman origin to acquire comital status in Scotland, gaining more th
an a head start on the Bruces, also of Norman-French origin, who did not a
cquire the earldom of Carrick until the later thirteenth century. Willi
am also advanced Comyn power by acquiring for his son, Walter Comyn, the s
outhern section of the old earldom of Moray, the Lordship of Badenoch, whi
ch also included the more westerly district of Lochaber. By the midd
le of the thirteenth century Comyn power thus extended from the shor
es of Aberdeenshire westwards all the way to Loch Linnhe. The family w
as a force of growing importance through the successive reigns of Alexand
er II and Alexander III; but they might be said to have reached the heigh
ts of their power and influence during the reign of John Balliol.
In 1290 Margaret, the Maid of Norway, the last descendant of the Canmore d
ynasty died, leaving the Scottish throne with no clear successor. In the e
nd thirteen Competitors came forward, the most important of whom were Robe
rt Bruce of Annandale, grandfather of the future king, and John Balliol. A
lthough John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, sometimes known as the Black Comy
n, was one of the minor competitors, the weight of the family was behind t
he claim of Balliol, Badenoch's brother-in-law. Following the intervenati
on of Edward I, Balliol finally emerged in 1292 as the strongest claima
nt in terms of feudal law, though the Bruce family was not reconciled to t
his outcome. Ever since the death of Alexander III in 1286 the Lord of Ann
andale had shown himself prepared, if necessary, to resort to violen
ce in pursuit of his claim. But any successful future bid for the crown co
uld only proceed with the co-operaation, or by the destruction, of the hou
se of Comyn. By 1292 the great division which was to dominate Scottish pol
itics on and off for over fifty years had taken definite shape.
John Comyn became third earl of Buchan following the death of his fathe
r, Alexander, in 1289. Some thirty years of age at the time he was quick
ly thrust to the front in the great political contests of the day. He w
as prominent in John Balliol's administration, emerging as Constable of Sc
otland by 1293. He was one of those summoned by Edward I, in his capaci
ty as the Feudal overlord of Scotland, to serve in the wars in France. Th
is was clearly no welcome development; and when King John effectively cav

REFN: P2360
Somerled (Old Norse Sumarliði, Scottish Gaelic Somhairle) was a military a
nd political leader of the Scottish Isles in the 12th century who was kno
wn in Gaelic as ri Innse Gall ("King of the Hebrides").
Somerled first appears in historical chronicles in the year 1140 as the re
gulus, or King, of Kintyre (Cinn Tìre) when he marries Raghnailt the daugh
ter of Amhlaibh (or Olaf), King of the Isle of Man. 1153 saw the deat
hs of two kings: David I of Scotland and Amhlaibh of Man. There was much c
onfusion and discord as a result and Somerled took his chance - making off
ensive moves against both Scotland and Man under his brother in law Gorai
dh mac Amhlaibh.
A summoning was sent to Somerled Dougal - Somerled's own son by his wif
e, the daughter of the Manx King - to move so he might be "King over the I
sles". In 1156 Goraidh was defeated in battle against 80 ships of Somerle
ds fleet and the two enemies partitioned the isles between them. Goraidh k
ept the islands north of Ardnamurchan with Somerled gaining the rest. Howe
ver, two years following this Somerled returned to the Isle of Man wi
th 53 warships. He defeated Goraidh again and this time forced him to fl
ee to Norway. Somerled's kingdom now stretched from the Isle of Man to t
he Butt of Lewis.
Thus both Viking and Scot formed one people under a single lord and ca
me to share a single culture, one way of life - they were to become a powe
rful and noted race known as the Gall-Gaidheal, literally meaning 'Foreign
-Gaels'. It was upon the seas their power was situated under the rule of t
he kings of the isles yet new enemies arose in the East. The Stewarts ma
de inroads in the west coast and eventually Somerled assembled a sizeab
le army to repel them. He advanced to the centre of the Stewarts own terri
tory, to Renfrew, where a great battle was fought in 1164. Much confusi
on surrounds the manner of the battle, and indeed whether a battle occurr
ed at all, but what is certain is that Somerled was killed. Although the h
ow of Somerled's death is also unsure, what is certain is that following t
he death of their great leader his army was greatly dispirited and retreat
ed from the area.
Following the death of Somerled several powerful lords emerged from with
in his kingdom. The lordship was contested by two main families; that of S
omerled and his descendants and that of the descendants of Goraidh mac Amh
laibh. During the 12th and 13th centuries the Scandinavian world saw mu
ch change in methods of rule and administration which ultimately result
ed in more strongly centralized, unified kingdoms such as Denmark and Norw
ay. However this did not happen in the Kingdom of the Isles which was inst
ead absorbed into the greater Kingdom of Scotland albeit its place in th
at state and the loyalty of its inhabitants to the King of Scots would rem
ain peripheral and temperamental for centuries to come.
Somerled's successors, who eventually emerged as the Lords of the Isles, w
ere nominally under the sovereignty of Norway until the late thirteenth ce
ntury. However, they were Gaelic in language and culture rather than Nors
e. As a result of this 'Gaelic Renaissance' under Somerled the great dicho
tomy which later formed in Scotland was between the Gaelic Scots (who ca
me over the following centuries to be generally restricted to the Highlan
ds and Hebrides) and the Lowland Anglo-Scots who, with the displaceme
nt of Scottish Gaelic by Inglis - later renamed Scots - across the lowlan
ds came to dominate the east coast and south of the country.
Somerled's sons bore mixed Norse — Olaf (Gaelic Amlaibh), Ranald (Norse Ra
gnvald, Gaelic Ragnall) — and Gaelic — Duncan, Dugald, Angus and Gille Bri
gte — names, further evidence of the mixed nature of Norse-Gael culture. L
ater descendants also bore Scots, or Scotto-Norman names, such as Alexand
er (Gaelic Alisdair) borne by sons of Donald son of Ragnall, of Angus

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
The name of this great historical, prolific, and widespreading family, of
which no less than ten branches are recorded in the Baronage of England,
appears in every list of the companions of the Conq ueror, but is not
mentioned by any of the contemporary writers. Nor do the ol d lists in
which it occurs give the baptismal names of the persons recorded, and we
have therefore to search in other quarters for evidence that will enab le
us to identify the particular member or members of the family who may be
fairly presumed to have been present in the battle of Hastings.
In this insta nce, Domesday supplies us with sufficient information to
justify us in admitt ing the probability of the statement of MM. De Magny
and Delisle, that it was a Hugh De Bexuchamp who for his services at the
time of the Conquest, receiv ed four lordships in Buckinghamshire, and
forty-three, or the greatest portio n of them, in Bedfordshire, and was
the immediate ancestor of the Beauchamps of Bedford.
Of his own parentage I have found no note, but he was most probabl y
descended from the Norman lords of Beauchamp of Avranches, seated between
that city and Granville, and a kinsman of the Robert De Beauchamp,
Viscount of Arques, in the reign of Henry I, who is first mentioned by
Orderic under t he year 1171, when by the King's order he seized the
castle of Elias De Saint -saens, who had the guardianship of the young
heir of Normandy, William Clito , with the object of arresting that prince
and consigning him to captivity.
By his wife, unknown, Hugh De Beauchamp is said to have had three sons:
Simon , who died without issue; Pagan or Payne, to whom William Rufus gave
the whol e barony of Bedford with the castle, which was the caput or head
of the baron y, and Milo, the ancestor of the Beauchamps of Eaton. Thus
Dugdale and others ; but there is undoubtedly some confusion here which,
though noticed by the E nglish translator of Orderic, has not been cleared
up by him.
The De Beaucha mps who so strongly defended Bedford Castle were, according
to Orderic, the s ons of Robert De Beauchamp, and not of Hugh, as above
stated; and if this Rob ert be identical with the Viscount of Arques we
have just heard of, the whole line of Beauchamp of Bedford is thrown into
disorder.
Orderic says that Kin g Stephen, against the advice of his brother Henry,
Bishop of Winchester, lai d siege to Bedford, but as it was the season of
Christmas, and the winter ver y rainy, after great exertions he had no
success. Indeed, the sons of Robert De Beauchamp defended the place with
great resolution, and until the arrival of the Bishop, the King's
brother, rejected all terms of submission to Stephe n. Not that they
resolved to deny the fealty and service they owed to him as their liege
lord, but having heard that the King had given the daughter of Si mon de
Beauchamp to Hugh, surnamed the Poor, with her father's lordships, the y
feared they should lose their whole inheritance. (Lib. xiii. cap. xxxvi)
N ow here we have also the information that Simon, who is said to have
died wit hout issue, left a daughter, for that she could not be the
daughter of the se cond Simon in the pedigree, son of Pagan, first baron
of Bedford, is clear, a s that Simon was living in the eighth of John,
1207.
Dugdale, upon no author ity that I can see, calls her the sister of the
defenders of Bedford, whom he describes as the sons of the second Simon
De Beauchamp, steward to King Step hen, which is simply impossible, for
the reason just given. We have therefore three different fathers to
choose from for the progenitors of the line of Ea ton.
Let us now turn to the account of the siege of Bedford by another
conte mporary writer. The anonymous author of the Acts of King Stephen,
says -- "Th e King having held his court during Christmas (a

1062 - 1141 Aubrey II De Vere 79 79 REFN: 2440AN
Alias:<ALIA> Alberic /De Vere/
REFN: P2441
In 1086 Aubrey De Ver, the ancesto r of the Earls of Oxford, in addtion to
his tenancies-in-chief in several cou nties, was an under-tenant of
Geoffrey bishop of Coutances in Kensington, Mid dlesex, and two places in
Northamptonshire. This indicates that his place of origin was Ver (as
indicated), which is 18 kil. South of Coutances and not Ve r in the
Bessin. [Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families]
------------------- ----------------------
Alberic/Aubrey De Ver (a place in the Cotentin Peninsul a, Normandy),
probably himself a Norman; b. by 1040; by the Domesday Survey h eld
numerous manors, chiefly in Cambs, Essex, and Suffolk--Hedingham, Essex
being the chief one, but also in Hunts, Middx (including Cheniston, now
Kens ington) and Northants; references to him as Chamberlain occur c1110;
founded Earl's Colne Priory, Essex, where he and many of his descendants
are burried; Sheriff Berks by 1106; married Beatrice and died probably
1112. [Burke's Pee rage]
-----------------------------------------
AUBREY DE VERE I was almost c ertainly a Norman who derived his name from
Ver in the Côtentin and probably had connexions with the adjoining duchy
of Brittany. He was born probably bef ore 1040. The Conqueror granted him,
with other lands, the great estates of a n English thegn named Wulfwine in
Essex, Suffolk, and Cambridge. In 1084 he a ttested a royal charter for
Lessay as Aubrey the Chamberlain. In 1086 he held in chief 14 estates in
Essex, with 2 houses and 3 acres in Colchester, 9 est ates Suffolk, 7 in
Cambs, and 2 in Hunts. He also held Kensington in Middlese x and two
properties in Northants of the Bishop of Coutances, land in Hunts o f the
Abbey of Ramseyand land in two places in Essex of Count Alan of Brittan y.
The head of his barony was at (Castle) Hedingham in Essex, where he had
planted a vineyard. It is usually assumed that he is identical with, and
not the father of, the Aubrey De Vere who attested a writ at Westminster
(Septemb er 1102 to Easter 1103 and a charter for Abingdon (1101-06). Not
later than 1 106 he was acting as sheriff of Berkshire, being styled
simply Aubrey. Within the next few years he was acting as a justice in
Northants, being styled Aub rey the Chamberhiln, and as sheriff of
Berkshire, being styled Aubrey De Berk shire. At the dying request of his
eldest son, not later than 1106, he gave A bingdon Abbey his church of
Kensington with its appurtenances and 2 hides and 1 yardland; but as he
resided mostly in Essex, he founded a priory at Earls Colne as a cell of
Abingdon. He seems to have held 1 1/2 knights' fees of the Abbey of St.
Edmund. He married Beatrice, whose parentage is unknown. He die d before
1113 (almost certainly in 1112), at Colne Priory, and was buried wit h his
wife in the church there. [Complete Peerage X:194-5, (transcribed by Da ve
Utzinger)]
-----------------------------------------
The following post- em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@@yahoo.com,
certainly puts doubts as to the validity of the ancestry I have for
Alberic/Aubrey.
At present I am startin g this line with Aubrey De Vere I (d. 1088) &
Beatrice. Appendix J in vol. x of "Complete Peerage" even more
conservatively indicates that there is no pro of that this Aubrey of the
Conquest is father of the great chamberlain. There may have been one or
more intervening Aubreys. [Ref: Alan B. Wilson 14 Mar 1 996 message to
soc.genealogy.medival]
The parentage of Alberic/Aubrey De Ver e is unknown. He was not son of
Alfonso De Ghesnes, the confusion coming from a later Vere/Ghesnes
marriage. [Ref: TAF 19 Apr 1998]
FWIW, the following i s from Paul McBride's website:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/james/f 042.htm
The first mention of the De Veres is in the General Survey of England,
made by William the Conqueror, wherein the name of Alberic De Vere is

The Scotch Irish McIlvaines of Ame rica point to Ayrshire, Scotland, as
the home of their ancestors and revert to a period as far back as 1315
when Edward, brother of Robert Bruce, led a larg e force into Ireland with
the purpose of expelling the English troops from the soil of Erin, great
numbers of his soldiers and retainers remaining in Irelan d and founding
what is known as the Scotch Irish race, many of whom migrated t o America
in colonial times.

From Kimberly Egan Notes
John McIlvaine descends from the McIlvai nes of Ayrshire, Scotland;
hereditary Lairds of Grimmet. The Grimmet estates were held by McIlvane's
up until the 1720's. Ther were traditionally Presbyte rian, which may
explain why several Scottish McIlvaine's emigrated to Ireland and then on
to the American Colonies.
May 3, 1687. They emigrated with John 's nephew, Joseph, and the Clark and
the Orr families, to Ireland in 1693. (F rank C. McElvain names this date,
but Samuel McElvain says that it was 1697). They settled in Ballykeel,
Islandmagee, County Antrim. Three children born i n Ayrshire moved with
them; James, Thomas, and Margaret. Three sons were born in Ireland;
Andrew, George, and Robert. John McIlvane does not seem to have owned any
land, but had a lease of six acres near the foot of Muldersley Hill and
not far from the present Ballymacarry station on the northern railway
running from Belfast to Larne on the opposite shore of Larne Lough. He is
bur ied there and his stone reads "here lyeth the body of John McIlwain,
who died Sept. 7, 1735 Aged 79"
Thomas stayed in Ireland and his daughter was Janet. H er headstone is
pictured in the book "Gravestone Inscriptions, Couonty Antrim , Vol. 1,
Islandmagee". It has the Kein Crest and Arms and the inscription "h ere
lyeth the body of Martha Kein who died May 11th, 1752 aged 5 years.
Als oJames Kein's wife Janet Mcliwain who died May 22d 1774 aged 56 years.
Also J ames Kein who departed this life 30th Novr 1793 aged 80 years".
The above ment ioned stone for John McIlvane is no longer in the little
cemetery in the corn er of the 6 acre field. The burials were in the
southwest corner, and at one time a small church stood there. The stone
of Marth Kein, however is still th ere, and also that of Janet McIlwaine
Kein and from their position. The grave of John McIlwane is probably
under the edge of the foundation stones of the Church and his stone was
moved to make way for the building. The stone does n ot appear in the
Cemetery.
They emigrated with John's nephew, Joseph, and th e Clark and the Orr
families, to Ireland in 1693/97. They settled in Ballykee l, Islandmagee,
County Antrim. Three children born in Ayrshire, James, Thomas and
Margaret came with them and three sons were born in Ireland: Andrew,
G eorge and Robert. John leased six acres near Muldersley Hill near
Ballymacarr y station.
He was buried in a little cemetery in the corner of the six acre fi led.
His granddaughter Janet's gravestone is pictured in a book "Gravestone
Inscriptions, County Antrim, Vol 1, Islandmagee"

From: Kimberly Egan Notes: Robert McIlvaine is considered the ance stor of
the McIlvaines who first settled in Lancaster and Franklin Counties,
Pennsylvania. His wife was Mary Duffield, an only daughter of Robert
(actua lly George) and elizabeth, who settled in Salisury Township,
Lancaster Pennsy lvania about 1730. Mary Duffield had a brother, the
Reverend George Duffield, who was the minister in charge of the Third
Presbyterian Church in Philadelp hia in 1784. He acted as Chaplain of
Sessions of the continental Congress in that city, as well as in York,
PA. The Reverend George Duffield died on Febru ary 2, 1790 and is buried i

James McIlvaine is believed to have been the b rother of Robert and
Andrew, Sons of John (George) McIlvaine of Grimet and Sa rah Clard, who
moved to Ireland. It is also believed that he is the James who came to
America with Robert and Andrew. Apparently all three tried their for tunes
in South Carolina as early as 1732 and while Robert and Andrew returned
to Pennsylvania about 1738-1740, James and his family remained in Craven
C ounty, North Carolina. James was a man of considerable influence and
prominen ce. He was Justice of the Peace for Chowan in 1739, Chairman of a
Peace Commi ssion, 1739, and as a member of the House of Burgesses 1736.
The family name was Mackilwean. The name is spelled in North Carolina
records as McKlveen, Ma cklevian, McLewean, McElvain and McClewean, etc.
James Mackilwean is believed to be the brother of Robert and Andrew, sons
of John McIlvaine of Grimett and Sarah Clark who lived to Ireland. It is
believed that he came to America wit h Robert and Andrew. James was in
North Carolina in 1738 settling in eastern North Carolina, his plantation
called Tower Hill. He was a surveyor and was p rominent in the colony. He
married Elinor and they had several children: John , Francis, Margaret,
Mary and Sarah. Mary was the wife of the first governor of North
Carolina. Richard Caswell. (update from Ila Grey McIlwean White)
He was Justice of the Peace for Chowan in 1739; chairman of the Peace

Notes for JOHN McILVANE from Kimberly Egan
JOHN MCILVANE succeeDe d his father John about 1637. This is the same John
mentioned in 1613 as John ne Mcllvane, Younger of Grummett in a complaint
against John Kennedy "In Nove mber last while reposing himself in sober
manner within the Kaitchepoole of M aybole, he was there attacked and
shamefully treated by Johnne Kennedy of Bla irquhan and others with drawn
sword in ane hand and a battoun in the uther he would have slain his
pursuer had he not escaped by the providence of God and his awne bettir
defence.O
The Glasgow Commissariat August 20, 1643 mentions Juliana Schaw, spouse
of John Mcllvane of Grimmet. Her will names daughters Anne and Juliane
Mcllvane. Juliane married Rev. Andrew Rodgers, Minister in G astoun.
Unlike England, where, upon marriage, the woman's property and wealth
became the husband's, Scotland's law was very favorable to women. Custom
a lso gave them equal rights to property and to head families.
The children of J ohn and Juliana McIlvane were Quentin McIlvane, who
lived at Thomaston, heir and successor as Laird of Grinunet; Alexander
McIlvane, who married a Miss Mc Adam and lived at Aughnacloy, Ireland;
John McIlvane, who inherited Grinunet and married Anne Cwmingham; and
Gilbert who moved to County Antrim Ireland. G ilbert Mcilvane whose
testament was dated August II, 1668, in
the Parish of Maybole. His spouse was Janet Schaw, whose testament was
dated July 27, 1676. This Gilbert is believed to have been the ancestor
of the Gilbert McIlvane w hose son William resided in Baltimore, Maryland,
and had two sons, William an d Gilbert. The latter's son, William
McIlvain, married December 12th 1775, Ma ry McIlvain, his first cousin,
daughter of John McIlvain.
John Mcllvane died in 1669, his will being dated September 21,1669.
Quentin, who inherited Thom aston, served heir to his father October 8,
1669. His brother John apparently inherited Grimet at the same time.
Laird of Grimmet 1637-1669
Some list Jane Ann Corry as his first wife.
His will is dated September 21, 1669
He is the John mentioned in 1613 as Johne McIlvane Younger of Grummett in
a complaint a gainst John Kennedy "In November last while reposing himself
in sober manner with the Kaitchepoole of Maypole, he was there attacked
and shamefully treate d by Johnne Kennedy of Blairquhan and others...with

Notes for JOHN McILvANE:
JOHN MCILVANE succeeded his father, Patr ick, as Laird of Grimmet in 1613.
By marrying Jane Anne
Corry (also spelled Corrie), he brought Thomaston Castle and estate into
the family.
Thomas Corr y De Kelwood, had a charter from James IV dated 12, January
1507, for the lan ds of Thomaston and several others. He had a charter
from James V in 1517 for the lands of Newly and Clonlothry .Thomas Corry
, along with David Crawford of Keirs, was fined 100 pounds for not
entering Bargany for the slaughter of the young Laird of Attiquin in
1512. The lands of Thomaston passed eventually to George Corry of
Kelwood, who was served heir to his father, John, on 30 M arch, 1610. In
George's will, it states that his son having died, his daughte r Ann was
heiress. The heads of the family retained the title of Laird of Gri mmet
but always thereafter lived at Thomaston.
Anne Cony Mcllvane died in 16 32 and in her will she names daughters
"Margaret, Agnes, Helein and Mareonne Mcllvane, Bairnes lawfull to ye
defunct." Margaret married Sir Alexander Kenn edy, Earl of Culzean, whose
father was Gilbert Kennedy, Earl of Cassilis. The y had a daughter
Margaret Kennedy who married David Kennedy, Earl of Cassilli s. Agnes
married Morris Morrison, and Marion married Gilbert Edgar. There wer e
also at least two sons David (who may have predeceased his father), and
J ohn, who succeeded his father.
While the Kennedy feud ostensibly ended with th e death of Laird of
Bargany in 1601 at Lady Cross, afterwards the violence of the period
continued sporadically. The Mcllvanes did not completely avoid th e
conflicts, being drawn into them by friends and relatives. John Mcllvane
of Grimmet was witness to caution of Patrick Campbell Seotember12, 1607
and, In 1613, John, Earl of Cassilis complained against John Mcllveane
and others for riot in tile Baillery of Carrick-
"In November last, Jolm Kennedy of Blair quhan on the one part and Johnne
McIlvalle of the other part of Grinunet, hav ing raised a tumult in the
town of Maybole, the said Earl, as one of the memb ers of His Majesty's
counsel. ..had attempted to pacify the same and had orDe red the rioters
to disperse. The said Jolm Kennedy had obeyed most willingly, but George
Corry of Kelwood and David Corry , his brother had gone to the sa id
Johnne McIlvane and With the aid of 11 persons ...with swords, ...had
at tacked the Earl and his servants, and had driven them to their lodging,
had c ompelled the said Earl to barricaDe themselves. Moreover the said
Johnne McIl vane and George and David Corry had proudly refused to obey
the Earl's order that they should enter themselves in ward in Ivlaybole
Tolbooth til they had found caution; and the said George Corry had
proudly and avowedlie carried th e said Johnne McIlvane and his said
brother away with him from the Earl's bil lie-deputy. The said Johnne
Mcllvean being present the Lords find the defenDe rs have been guilty of a
very great insolence and misbehavioure ..and commit the said Johnne
McIlveane to the Tolbooth of Edinbllfgll, there to remain at his own
expense till further order...They refuse the charge against the said Jolm
Mcilvane for refusing to find caution, as the said Jolm has produced an
act of Court of the Bailery of Carrick showing that tlle said Jolm and
Geor ge Corrie of Kelwood as cautioner had acted themselves for Jolm
Kennedy of Bl airquhon and his household for 1,000 merks.O 1613, Regular

Notes for PATRICK McILVANE from Kimberly Egan:
PATRICK MOILVANE s ucceeded his father, Gilbert, October 25, 1547, and
became Laird of Grimmet f or the years, 1547 to 1613. The estates at this
time included Upper Grimmet, Lower or Nether Grimmet and Attiquin. The
records of Frank McElvain list the children of Patrick and Isobel Kennedy
as John (m Jane Corry), Patrick (m Jan e Forrester 12-4-1615), Thomas,
David, and Alexander. Thomas was alive in 161 7 (Glasgow Commissariat).
PBGR mentions Patrick apprenticed to William Halibu rton in Edinburgh
(probably son of Patrick and Jane Forrester.) A decree of a bsolution on
record at Holyrood, February 1592, made by the Privy Council in favor of
John, Earl of Cassilis, names five Mcllvanes Patrick Mcllvene, elder of
Grimmet, John Mcllveanne of Grimmet, younger, John Mcllveanne of
Auchen harrie, Gilbert Mcllveane, Flesheur, in Maybole, and David
Mcllveane, Flesheu r in Maybole. The word 'Flesheur" refers to the
retailing of meats, or the fl esh of animals for food. Other records
indicate Alexander, whose will dated A ugust 1, 1620 made him a resident
of Ballantrae.
At Holyrood House, Edinburg h, 22 Feb. 1597, a document was signed by King
James VI confirming the lands as follows "The King as administrator,
etc., confirms to one Patrick Mcllivan e of Grumet (from whom Isobella
Kennedy, his wife, is conveyed a life estate) 21/2 measures of land in
the Manor of Lower Grumet and 1/2 measure of land a djacent, called
Willistoun (occupied by J.C. McClymouth) according to the old survey also
to John Mcllvane his son and heir apparent, and to his male heir s
whomsoever, 6 measures of land of Grumet, 6 1/2 measures of land of Lower
Grumet, and Attiquin, with their mansions, houses, fisheries and woods in
th e County of Carrik, called Air, excepting reserving to the said Patrick
the f ree use thereof and may redeem these lands from the said John by
paying five pounds at the parish church of Maybole on 40 days warning.
Held of Henry I, L ord and Seneschal of Scotland and Earl of Carrick. II
In the Register of Sasin es for 1601, Patrick's wife is referred to as
"Isobel Kennedy, Lady Grymett". This has given rise to all sorts of
speculation. Torrence and Allied Familie s declares that "Sir Patrick was
knighted for bravery on the field of battle" . What battle is not told. It
seems much more likely that Isobell brought the title of "Lady" with her.
One source says she was the widow of Kennedy of Kn ockdon. Since the use
of the title after the name denotes a widow, it seems f airly plain that
is all it means and had nothing to do with Patrick, no matte r how brave
he may have been.
These were particularly violent times in the h istory of Scotland. The
Reformation was in full swing, and the religious uphe aval is indicated by
the following
On May 19, 1553, Hugh and David Kennedy c ame with 100 followers with
jacks, spears, and guns to the Parish Kirk of Kir koswald and the College
Kirk of Maybole, and abused the sacrament of OHaly Ki rk", (The elements
of the Mass and other sacred items. ) The Earl of Carrick was quick to
respond, and a number of persons had to give caution (bond) afte rwards to
the extent of 3,000 Pounds for their future good Behavior.
At abou t the same time, one of the Kennedys living at Dunure tried to
seize the land s of Crossaugel Abbey. He tried to persuaDe the person
responsible for the De eds to turn them over by slowly roasting him over a
fire. He survived the roa sting, but did not turn over the deeds.
The Lairds of Grimmet were involved in a particularly bitter feud between
the Kennedy Earls of Cassilis
and their cousins, the Kennedy House of Bargany, which reached its most
intense fury be tween 1569 and 1602. It climaxed with the kidnapping of
the Countess of Cassi lis as she returned to Ayr from a visit in Galloway.
She was escorted as she travelled by various members of the family and
~1540 Isobella Kennedy REFN: 2485AN
REFN: P2486
Some say Isobel Kennedy Lady is not John's mother but that Patrick was
first married to Julianna Shaw. In the Register of Sasines for 1601,
P atrick's wife is referred to as "Isobel Kennedy, Lady Grymett". She may
have been the widow of Kennedy of Knockdon.
Notes for ISOBEL KENNEDY from Kimberly Egan:
Gaelic Name: Gaelic, CealU1aideach (Ugly head)
Motto: Avise la fin (Con sider the end)
Badge: Oak
Lands: Arrick, Ayrshire Lochaber and Skye
Origin o f Name:MacUalraig, Ceannaideach
Kennedy comes from the flattering Gaelic word cinneidigh, which in
ancient Ireland meant "ugly headed". Crossing the Irish Sea to settle in
an area of Dalriada now called Carrick in Ayrshire, they wer e probably
led by Gilbert, whose son Duncan became the 1st Earl of Carrick in the
11th century.
This name comes from the old Irish Gaelic, 'cinneidigh', l iterally
meaning 'ugly headed'. The family came from Ireland to Celtic Dalria da,
now Strathclyde, but are mainly associated with the district of Carrick
in Ayrshire. They claimed descent from the Earls of Carrick and kinship
to t he Bruce family, whom they supported against the Comyns and
throughout the Wa r of Independence.
John Kennedy of Dunure acquired lands at Cassillis about 13 60, and
witnessed a charter by Robert II in 1384. His son, Sir Gilbert, was o ne
of the hostages for the release of David II by the English in 1357.
Gilb ert's son, James, married Princess Mary, second daughter of Robert
III. Their son, another Gilbert, was created Lord Kennedy in about 1457
and was one of the six regents during the minority of James III. A
brother of the first Lord Kennedy, James Kennedy, was one of Scotland's
best-Ioved bishops. He served briefly as High Chancellor of Scotland and
was Bishop of Dunkeld, and later A rchbishop of St. Andrews. At St.
Andrews he founded St. Salvator's College in 1455.
Hugh Kennedy of Ardstinchar served as commander of the scots mercenary
troops who fought for Joan of Arc at the siege of Orleans; hence Joan
figur es on the arms of Kennedy of Bargany. Sir David, third Lord Kennedy
, was cre ated Earl of Cassillis in 1509 and died at Flodden in 1513. The
second Earl w as murdered in 1527. Gilbert, third Earl, was one of four
Scottish commission ers who were poisoned at Dieppe on their return from
the marriage of Mary , Q ueen of Scots to the Dauphin in 1558. He had
inherited his title at the age o f twelve when one of his first acts was
to sign, under duress, the death warr ant of Patrick Hamilton, the first
Scottish Protestant martyr. The fourth Ear l earned an infamous reputation
by 'roasting' Alan Stewart, Abbot of Crossrag uel, in the black vault of
Dunmore in order to obtain tracts of abbey land.
The sixth Earl of Cassillis, John, was Lord Justice General of Scotland
from 1649 to 1651. He was a zealous Protestant, as was his son, the
seventh Earl, and both were firm supporters of Parliament during the
civil war. The Justice General sat in Cromwell's House of Lords. They
suffered for their beliefs, b ut their estates remained largely intact.
When the eighth Earl died without h eirs their was a three-year court
dispute to determine the succession. The Ho use of Lords finally found in
favour of Sir Thomas Kennedy of Culzean in pref erence to William, Earl of
March and London. Sir Thomas's brother, David, an advocate, succeeded him
in 1775 as tenth Earl, and was an active improver. He commissioned the
architect Robert Adam to build the castle at Culzean, consi dered to be
Adam's masterpiece.

Notes for GILBERTO M'lLVEYNE:
GILBERTO M'ILVENE succeeded his fat her in possession of Grimmet and
Attiquin. He had confirmation
of Grimmet fr om Queen Mary 5-4-1546 as son and heir of Alan. Gilbert had
several sons of w hom Patrick is the only one proven. Other sons may have
been David, Gilbert, Oliver, and Thomas. Some searchers believe that
David was the heir, but that he abdicated in favor of Patrick, who
married a Kennedy and was able to retri eve the family fortunes.
Gilberto was a Colonel of horse and eventually died i n the battle of
FawsiDe near Edinburgh, September 18, 1547. His name is inclu ded in a
list of the gentry who fell in the battle, as published by Paterson' s
"History of Ayr and Wigton." Hanna's History mentions Gilbert as "Laird
M aclevens.O The following excerpt from "Lion in the North", by Prebble,
descri bes the battle "The Battle of FawsiDe was fought at Pinkie, six
miles south-e ast of Edinburgh. When the French left Scotland after
helping the Scots recla im St. Andrews, eighteen thousand Englishmen came
over the border under Hartf ord, now Duke of Somerset and Protector of
England by his own making. Six tho usand of them were cavalry and eight
hundred of the foot were musketeers; The re were fifteen pieces of heavy
artillery, a thousand wagons, and an attendan t fleet tacking up the
coast. The return of an old and terrible enemy brought a brief and
defiant unity to the Scots. On Black Saturday, September 18, 154 7, Arran
formed a battle-line of four divisions at Pinkie. The Scots had no
musketeers, only spears and archers. PriDe was again the greatest enemy
of t he Scots and would lead them to their own destruction. In five
hundred years the number of decisive battles they had won against
the English could be count ed on one hand, leaving a finger or two to wag
in caution. PriDe and over- co nfidence had lost them the rest, and it
would be so again."
Reg. Sig. Edinbu rgh, Vol. I, pg 136 is an extract of the passing of the
lands to Patrick heir of Gilbert McIlvane De Grumet, his father, who died
under his Majesty's Bann er in the Battle of Fawside. Three-merk lands of
Nether Grumett and Three-mer k lands of Ovir Grumett 6 merk, I pound, 6s,
8d lands of Attiquin in the Earl dom of Carrick. Dated Oct. 25, 1547.
In 1548 the Exchequer of Rolls of Scotlan d, Vol. 18, pg 438, shows
certain concessions made on monies due on death of those killed in battle
of Fawside. Patrick had been granted the lands, as not ed above, but by
this document life rent of 3 merklands of Net11er Grommet we re reserved
to Janet Corrie, Patrick's mother, widow of Gilbert. Life rent wa s given
to Allan Makelayne, his grandfather, of the 6 merklands of Attyquin a nd

Notes for ALLAN M'YL VEYNE by Kimberly Egan:
Frank McElvain repor ts that the genealogist, Gustave Anjou names the wife
of ALAN M'YL VEYNE as M arian Fergoussone. She was mentioned with A1lan's
daughter in law Janet Corri e in the register of the Great Seal May 30,
1530.
These were particularly vi olent times, as indicated in the PBGR, June 18,
1526
" Alan Makilvane and il k and other filled for reasonable slaughter of
Unquhile (the late) Cornelius De Machan. Also Martin Kennedy and Gilbert
Makilwraith were fined." It seems that Alan, Gilbert, the Earl of
Cassilus and 233 others were involved in the slaughter. The Protocol
Book, January 2, 1530 suggests that Alan M'Ylveyne of Grimmet gave bond
for Gilbert Kennedy, and so he was released from penalty o n promise of
good behavior .
According to the Scottish Record Society Public ation, Vol. 28-34 " Allan
Makilvene, Laird of Grimmet, along with Thomas Corr y of Kelwood, David
Crawford of Keirs, and others, was fined 100 pounds for n ot entering his
friend, Gilbert Kennedy for participating in the slaughter of Robert
Campbell of Lochfurgus, Alexander Kirkwood, and Patrick Wilsone. Robe rt
Campbell, having a short time before killed the old Earl of Cassilis,

In the Charters of Crossraguel, page 42, 1528 is this "Thomas Corry of
Kelwood, Ayrshire, and others, including Alan Makilvane, Laird of Grumet,
were fined 100 Pounds each for not entering Bargany for the slaughter of
t he young Laird of Attiquane. According to Darrel Iwerks, The possession
of Gr immet was turned over to Alan M'Ylveyne when Gilbert reached
advanced years. This view is supported by Jean
Moore, who cites the PBGR:

Notes for MARIAN FERGOUSSONE from Kimberly Egan:
Arms: Azure, a b uckle Argent between three boars' heads couped
-Badge: A bee on a thistle, all Proper
oMotto: Dulcius ex asperis (Sweeter after difficulties)
oGaelic Name: MacFhearghuis
°Tartans: Fergusson, Fergusson of Balquhidder
oSepts: Fergie, Fergus, Ferguson, Ferries, Firgie, Keddie, Kiddie,
MacAdie, MacFergus, MacKed die, MacKerras, MacKersey.
The origin of the name Fergusson or Ferguson, "son of Fergus"
(MacFhearguis in Gaelic), is shrouded by the mists of time. Mediev al
historians recorded a tradition that the founder of Scotland's monarchy
was a Fergus who lived in Ireland about 300 B.C. Historical research
dating f rom the l3th century confirms that by 500 A.D. the Scots under
King Fergus Mo r had left Northern Ireland and became established in
Dalriada, now Argyll. F rom Fergus Mor, with a few early exceptions,
descend all subsequent kings and queens of the Scots, including the
present Queen of Great Britain. St. Colum ba of Iona ( 6th century A.D. .)
was a scion of Fergus Mor's royal line.
In one of the oldest documents of ancient Scottish history , the "Tract
on the M en of Alby " , Fergusson is the only modem clan name mentioned.
Some writers believe the Fergusson had their day as a powerful clan prior
to the 13th cent ury and became dispersed from Argyll (Dalriada) as the
Scots spread into othe r parts of Scotland. Before the 18th century, at
least five groups of Ferguss on possessed lands and lived in the style of
a clan under their respective ch iefs in Argyll, Perthshire,
Aberdeenshire, Dumfriesshire, and Ayrshire. Today , the Kilkerran
Fergussons in Ayreshire and the family of Fergusson of Baledm und and the
Fergussons of Balquhidder, both in Perthshire, are still owners o f
extensive lands.
The name is also common in Ulster where there have been s everal landed
families, some claiming to have been planted there from A Ayrsh ire in the
17th century .Others of the name in Antrim and nea1by counties des cend
from people who did not migrate to Dalriada in the 5th century .
The di spersed Clan Fergusson has not blazed the battlefield with glories
won by the sword. However, "Sons of Fergus" fought with Bruce in the Wars
of Independen ce. Some Perthshire Fergussons were out with Montrose in
1644. The oldest sol dier in Prince Charles Edward's Army at Prestonpans
in the '45 was an 80-year -old Ferguson. In modem times and during World
Wars I and II many Fergus(s)on s from Scotland and abroad were
distinguished military leaders. Clan Fergusso n has been termed a "gentle
froce" that gained respected prominence from live and let live. Recently,
however, a clansman, after looking at Mclan's depict ion of "The
Fergusson" as a barefooted, Claymore-wielding, helmeted warrior w earing
the ancient Lein-croich, or saffron colored shirt of the Celts, remark ed
that "if Clan Fergusson is a "gentle force" he was glad the warrior was
one of us and not a foeman!"
"Sons of Fergus" the world over have gained disti nction in nonmilitary
activities, e.g. in the law, the
church, government, t he arts and sciences, medicine, education,
agriculture and in business and in dustry. Mention can only be made of
Adam Ferguson the philosopher (1724-1816) and Robert Fergusson (1750-

According to Frank McElvain, Gilbert M'YLVEYNE was alive from 1460 to
1537, and is said to have married a KeJUledy, sister of the Earl of
Cas silis. He was succeeded in his old age by his son Alan, and may have
had son David, and also John, who occurs in the REGISTURM MAGNI SIGILLI
1525 (Gustave Anjou)
Gilbert took over the estates in 1484. This is shown in the charter of
apprising, which states that "Gilbert M'Ylveyne had occupied and,
intromit ted the lands of Grurnet and Attiquyne, lying in the Earldom of
Carrick and S heriffdom of Air, for the space of 45 years." That takes the
time back from 1 529 to 1484. In his old age Gilbert M'Ylvane turned over
the estates to his s on, Alan, as shown in an order in the PBGR.
According to Darrel Iwerks, record s indicate that either Gilbert or his
son Alan assisted in the Rescue of Jame s III, who had been abducted from
the custody of Bishop Kennedy of St. Andrew s, by Lord B!>yd. The young
King had been placed in the custody of the Bishop during childhood.
Because of their assistance, the MacYlveynes were granted additional
lands, probably an addition to Lower Grirmnet.

According to Frank C. McElvain, NIGEL MACYLVEYNE lived from 13 95-1465,
and is credited by tradition with being the founder of the estates o f
Grimmet, although, as we have seen earlier, the family may have held
esta tes in the area from a much earlier time. He is brought into the
records in a confirmation of the lands of Grimmet and Attiquin by King
James of Alan, son of Gilbert MacYlveyne in June 1529. This record
confirms the tenancy of.the family dating to the non-entry ofNigel. While
no definitive relationship to N igel is given, it is presumed that he was
the father of Gilbert. It does not seem rea~nable that the non-entry
would have dated to a previous Nigel severa l hundred years earlier. Some
authorities assert that Nigel was the son of a Gilbert MacYlveyne.
Darrel Iwerks reports that King James I succeeded to the t hrone of
Scotland in April, 1406, on the death of his father Robert III. Jame s,
then aged 7. had become heir to the throne four years earlier. In March,
1406, only a month before his death, Robert III decided that James would
be safer in France, but the young prince was captured at sea by the
English. Kin g James remained a prisoner king in England for 18 years,
while first his unc le Albany and later his cousin Murdac acted as
Governors of Scotland. At last in December, 1423, a treaty was signed in
London by which James was allowed to return to his kingdom in exchange
for a large ransom, the payment of which was to be guaranteed by wealthy
hostages. Twenty-seven of these were sent to England immediately but
exchanges were made at regular intervals. Among thos e sent south in 1432
was Nigel MacYlvayne. The hostages were detained either at the tower of
London or at one of the other castles, where they lived at th eir own
expense with retainers and servants who were allowed to travel freely to
and from Scotland. On the payment of the ransom, all returned to Scotla
nd .
Most authorities agree that Nigel had at least two sons Gilberto, who
succ eeded him as heir, and John. John was shown as a witness in Dumfries,
1477. H e probably married a Miss Kennedy, sister of Gilbert Kennedy, Earl
of Cassili s. There is some question whether this is the same John
Makilvane who appears in court documents from 1503-1516. The later dates
lead some researchers to believe that he may have been the younger
brother or cousin of Alan. The Glas gow Commissariat October 15, 1515
cites John Makilvane et al for the slaughte r of James Douglas, and he is
mentioned in the records of Ayrshire and Carric k as early as 1503 and
later in 1512, 1516, and 1524. He is not named in any of the early
confirmations of the grants of Grimmet and Attiquin, either to G ilbert,
Alan, Gilbert, or Patrick.
In the PBGR # 1044 Gilbert Kennedy of Kir kmichael, compearing in the
Tolbooth of Air before Charles Campbell, Macer of the Sheriff of Air, in
that part especially constituted in the cause of reco gnition between
Gilbert and Allan M'Ylveyne, protests that whatsoever shall b e done in
said cause before said judge, shall not prejudice David M'Ylveyne, a son
of Gilbert's sister, as to the right he has in the lands of Attiquin. T he
"young Laird of Attiquin" reported in records as killed in 1512 had been
a Kennedy. It is possible that his interest passed to his sister, and
from t here, by marriage, to the Lairds of Grimmet.

~1440 - 1493 Colin Campbell 53 53 REFN: 2539AN
REFN: P2540
COLIN, the grandson of Lord Campbell, was created EARL OF ARGYLL b y James
II., in 1457. By his marriage to the eldest of the three daughters an d
co-heiresses of John, Lord Lorne (all three married Campbells), the young
Earl put an end to the feuds which for upwards of two hundred and fifty
year s had raged between the families of Lochaw and Lorne, and obtained
the undisp uted chieftainship of the county of Argyll. He acquired, in
consequence of th is connection, the lordship and title of Lorne from
Walter Stewart, Lord Lorn e and Invermeath, heir male of that lordship, in
exchange for the estates of Kildoning, Baldoning, and other lands in the
shires of Perth, Fife, Kinross, and Aberdeen. The galley—the ancient
badge of the family of Lorne— was, in co nsequence of this acquisition,
assumed into the Earl’s hereditary coat-of-arm s. ‘The acquisition of
Lorne,’ says Dr. Fraser, ‘was a favourable arrangement for the family of
Argyll, as it lay adjacent to their other lands, while the Lowland
possessions surrendered as an equivalent were scattered over various
counties and far distant from their more important territories.’ The Earl
acquired extensive estates besides in Perthshire and Fifeshire, and the
lords hip of Campbell, with its celebrated castle near Dollar, where John
Knox visi ted Archibald, fourth Earl of Argyll, and preached to him and
his relatives. It continued to be a frequent residence of the family
until 1644, when it was burned by the Macleans in the army of the Marquis
of Montrose. At a later pe riod he obtained a large share of the forfeited
possessions of the Lord of th e Isles. The most important offices at Court
and in the kingdom were conferre d upon him. He was frequently sent as
ambassador to the English Court, and al so to France. He was Master of the
Royal Household, Grand Justiciary of Scotl and, and eventually became Lord
High Chancellor—an office which he held for a long period. This dignity,
along with the lands of ‘Mekell and Lettel Pincar toun,’ in the barony of
Dunbar, was probably bestowed upon the Earl in 1483, as a reward for his
loyal adherence to James III. at the time of the conspira cy of Archibald
Bell-the-Cat and other nobles, which led to the murder of the royal
favourites at Lauder, in 1482. Argyll was in England at the time of th e
defeat and death of that unfortunate monarch at Sauchieburn, in 1488. On
his return to Scotland he was at once reappointed Chancellor by James
IV., wh o also conferred upon him the lands of Roseneath, Dumbartonshire
(January 9th , 1489) which are still in the possession of the family. The
mansion is one o f the principal seats of the Duke of Argyll. This
powerful and prosperous nob leman died in 1493. The Lords of the Isles,
the mightiest of all the ancient Highland chieftains, had long possessed
unquestioned supremacy in the HebriDe s and throughout the mountain
country of Argyll and Inverness-shire. But from this period their
power began to wane before the rising influence of th e Campbells. As late
as the fifteenth century these haughty and turbulent isl and chieftains
even disputed the authority of the kings of Scotland; but thei r
successive rebellions were punished by successive forfeitures both of
the ir ancient dignities and their possessions, and now that the house of
Argyll had become sufficiently powerful to enforce the decrees of the
King and Parli ament, and had a strong interest in carrying these decrees
into effect, the e xtensive territories which for many generations had
belonged to the Lordship of the Isles were finally wrested from their
ancient possessors and conferred upon the loyal clans, and especially
upon the Campbells, who could now meet in the field the combined forces
of all the other Western septs

Robertt III..., after having ruled Scotland in the name of his father,
Robert II, from 1384 to 1388, physically disabled by a kick f rom a horse,
he was never the real ruler of Scotland during the years of his kingship.
The eldest son of Robert the Steward and Elizabeth Mure, he was
le gitimized by their marriage several years after his birth. In 1362-3 he
joine d his father in a futile revolt against King David II, who both
imprisoned hi m and created him Earl of Carrick in 1368. (He had been
created Earl of Athol l in 1367.) Robert II became king in 1371; in 1384,
because of his advanced a ge, he turned over the government to Carrick.
After his injury in 1388, howev er, Carrick was supplanted by his brother
Robert, Earl of Fife.
On his acces sion, probably on April 19, 1390, he changed his name to
Robert III from John to avoid reminding others of John De Balliol, King
of Scotland from 1292 to 1296, who was not favourably remembered. Fife,
created Duke of Albany in 1398 , continued to govern throughout this
reign, except for three years (1398-140 2) when Robert III's eldest son,
David Duke of Rothesay, took his place. The dissolute Rothesay died in
March 1402 while imprisoned in Albany's castle of Falkland, Fife. Perhaps
in an attempt to save his remaining son, James (after ward James I King of
Scotland) from death at Albany's hands, Robert III sent the boy to
France, but James was captured by English sailors, a shock to the aging
king. [Encylclopedia Britannica]
Robert III (c. 1340- April 4, 1406), king of Scotland, was the eldest son
of King Robert II by his mistress, Eliza beth Mure, and was legitimised
when his parents were formally married about 1 349. They had previously
been married in 1336, but this ceremony had been cri ticized as being
uncanonical.
In 1368 he was created Earl of Carrick, and he took some part in the
government of the kingdom until about 1387, when he wa s disabled by the
kick of a horse. It was probably in consequence of this acc ident that his
brother Robert, Earl of Fife, and not the crown prince himself , was made
guardian of the kingdom in 1389; but the latter succeeded to the t hrone
on his father's death in May 1390.
At this time he changed his baptism al name of John, which was unpopular
owing to its connexion with John De Bali ol, for that of Robert, being
crowned at Scone in August 1390 as King Robert III. Although he probably
attended several parliaments the new king was only the nominal ruler of
Scotland, the real power being in the hands of his broth er, the Earl of
Fife.
In 1399, however, owing to the king's "sickness of the body," his elder
son, David, Duke of Rothesay, was appointed lieutenant of t he kingdom;
but this event was followed by an English invasion of Scotland, b y
serious differences between Rothesay and his uncle, Robert, now Duke of
A lbany, and finally in March 1402 by Rothesay's mysterious death at
Falkland P alace.
Early in 1406 the king's only surviving son, afterwards King James I, w as
captured by the English; and in 1406 Robert died, probably at Rothesay,
and was buried at Paisley. Robert III married Annabella Drummond (c.
1350-140 2), daughter of Sir John Drummond of Stobhall, and by her, in
addition to the two sons already mentioned, had four daughters (Margaret,
Mary, Egidia, and Elizabeth). He also had an illegitimate son, James
Stewart of Kilbride.

."
Annabella, d. 1401, daughter of Sir John Drummond and Mary (perhaps Montef
ichet), of Stobhall. [Magna Charta Sureties]
Annabel Drummond was born circa 1350 in Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline, Fi
fe, Scotland. She was the daughter of Sir John Drummond, 11th of Lennox a
nd Mary Montifex. She married Robert III Stewart, King of Scotland, s
on of Robert II Stewart, King of Scotland and Elizabeth of Rowallan Mur
e, on 13 March 1366. She died circa October 1401 in Scone Palace, Scone, P
erthshire, Scotland.
From 13 March 1366, her married name became Stewart. Through her marriag
e, Annabel Drummond was styled as Queen Consort Annabella of Scotla

Sir Gilbert De Umfreville 1310-1380
Third Earl of Angus 1325 - 13 80
Lord of Redesdale 1325 - 1380
Born the second son of Robert Earl of Angus. His elder brother, also
Gilbert, died in infancy in 1302. Through his mother , Lucy/Lucia De Kyme,
the Umfrevilles gained posession of the Kyme lands in L incolnshire.
Robert Bruce finally confiscated the Earldom of Angus around 1328 and
gave it to John Stewart of Bunkle who held it until 1331. Gilbert marrie d
Joan Willoughby who produced 3 sons. Robert, who married Margaret Percy,
William and Gilbert. According to Hodgson none of them produced an heir
nor o utlived their father. Gilberts second wife, Maud De Lucy had no
surviving off spring and thus this line of the Umfrevilles died out.
However, present day d escendants of the Umfrevilles have family trees
tracing their family back to the second son, William (the Newcastle
branch is also descended from William) . The Percies took posession of the
Barony of Prudhoe in 1375,  on the death of Robert as Margaret Percys
dead husband. Gilbert survived until 1380.
Gilb ert built a tower house at South Kyme during Edward IIIs reign
probably with money gained from Scottish ransoms after Neville's Cross in
1346. With Gilber ts death the Redesdale, Kyme and Coquetdale lands were
inherited by the offsp ring of Robert the second Earl and his children by
Alienore De Clare

The first of the family who received the title of Argyll was SIR D UNCAN,
the great-grandson of Sir Colin and nephew of Annabella Drummond, the
Queen of Robert III. He was accounted one of the wealthiest barons in
Scotl and, and in 1424 was one of the hostages for the payment of the
expense of th e maintenance of James I. during his long imprisonment in
England. At this da te Sir Duncan’s annual revenue was set down as 1,500
merks—a larger income th an that of any of the other hostages, except Lord
Douglas of Dalkeith, whose estates were valued at the same amount. He was
made a Lord of Parliament in 1 445, under the title of LORD CAMPBELL. He
was the founder of the collegiate c hurch of Kilmun, where he was buried
in 1453. His first wife was Marjory or M ariotta Stewart, daughter of
Robert, Duke of Albany, brother of King Robert I lI., and Regent of the
kingdom during the imprisonment of his nephew, James I ., in England. [One
of the charters which Duncan, Lord Campbell, received fro m his
father-in-law was witnessed, amongst others, by Henry Percy, Earl of
Northumberland, the eldest son of the renowned Hotspur, who was at that
time a refugee at the Scottish court.] This was the second intermarriage
of the Ho use of Argyll with the royal family of Scotland. Lord Campbell’s
youngest son by this royal lady is the ancestor of the Campbells of
Breadalbane.

fr om Burkes Peerage Vol 3 of 6, House of Stewart
The Wolf of Badenoch, is one of the most memorable historical characte
rs of Strathspey.
The son of King Robert II, he was one of the most blackest, most evil char
acter in Scotland's history.  Alexander Stewart, Alisdair Mor mac an Rig
h, was better know as Big Alexander, or the Wolf of Badenoch.
The times in which he lived were barbarous, but even by their standar
ds he stood out, and was feared over a considerable distance.
Throughout his life he was Lord of Badenoch around 1371, Earl of Buchan
an and was also his brother's royal deputy in the north of Scotland.
The Wolf ruled the lands of Badenoch in a cruel way, burning the hom
es of those who crossed or displeased them.  Taking labour and goods way b
eyond any reason.
His wife, Countess of Ross, was deserted by him.  His wife appealed to t
he Bishop of Moray, who unfortunately for him, gave judgement in her favou
r.
The Wolf was outraged.   All out for revenge, he came down from his strong
hold, the castle of Lochindorb and ransacked and burned Forres and Elgi
n.   Elgin of course, being the ecclesiastical centre of the Bishopr
ic of Moray.   Setting off fires, mainly in the College, the Canon's hous
es and the Hospital of the Maison Dieu, he terrified the people of Elgi
n, forcing them to flee with their families into the countryside.
In 1390 he burned Elgin Cathedral, destroying many of its records includi
ng family, legal and monastic - irreplaceable.  A terrible loss.
The Wolf was called upon by his father to do penance for this heinous crim
e.  This he did under the watchful eye of his father the King, nobles a
nd many dignitaries of the church.  The King, believing that his son had l
earnt his lesson, finally pardoned him, and his was received back into t
he Church.   Unfortunately, his repentance was superficial.
Throughout his reign he extended and reinforced his castles at Loch-an-Eil
ein and Lochindorb, and yet hardly changed Castle Roy at Nethy Bridge.
Legend has it that The Wolf of Badenoch died in 1394, although others main
tain is was in 1406, when it is believed that he played chess with the dev
il.  He had been visited at Ruthven Castle by a man, who was tall, and dre
ssed in black.  The man wished to play a game of chess with the Wolf.   T
he game went on for several hours until the tall, darkly dressed man mov
ed one of the chess pieces and called 'check' and then 'checkmate'.  The m
an rose from the table.  On calling these words there was a terrible sto
rm of thunder, hail and lightening.  The storm continued through the nig
ht until silence befell the castle in the morning.  In that morning silenc
e, it was then that the Wolf's men were discovered outsiDe the castle wall
s, dead and blackened as if they had all been struck by the lightening.  T
he Wolf was found in the banqueting hall, and although his body appeared u
nmarked, the nails in his boots had all been torn out.
The funeral procession was held two days later, led by the Wolf's coffi
n.  Terrible storms started over and over again as the coffins were add
ed to the procession.  It was only after the Wolf's coffin was carri
ed to the back of the procession did the storms cease.  The storms did n
ot return.
The Wolf of Badenoch was not buried locally, but is buried in Dunkeld Cath
edral.
~1349 - 1403 Catherine Roet 54 54 Alias:<ALIA> Catherine De Roet /Swynford/
REFN: 2693AN
Katherine (or Katharine or Catherine) (c. 1350 – 1403) was the daught
er of Payne (or Paen) De Roet (or Rouet or Roelt) a Flemish herald from Ha
inault who was knighted just before dying in the wars, leaving Katherine a
nd her older sister Philippa, as well as a brother, Walter, and eldest sis
ter, Isabel (Elizabeth) De Roet, (who died chanoinness of the convent of S
t. Waudru's, Mons, c. 1366). About the year 1366, at the age of 16, Kather
ine married Hugh Swynford or Synford, an English knight from the man
or of Kettlethorpe in Lincolnshire, and bore him at least two children (Bl
anch, Thomas, and likely the Margaret Swynford who was nominated a n
un at the prestigious Barking Abbey by the command of Richard II in 137
7) before he, too, died in the European wars. She then became attach
ed to the household of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, ostensibly as gov
erness to his two daughters (the sisters of the future Henry IV of Englan
d) by his first wife Blanche, but eventually she became his official mistr
ess. Katherine's sister Philippa married the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, who
se poem The Book of the Duchess commemorated Blanche's death in about 1369
.
Long after the death of his second wife Constance (or Constanza) of Castil
e, John and Katherine married in January 1396, three years before he die
d. The four children Katherine had borne John of Gaunt had been given t
he surname "Beaufort" and were already adults when they were legitimized (
but barred from inheriting the throne by a clause inserted by half-broth
er Henry IV well into the latter's reign) in 1390:
John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset.
Henry Cardinal Beaufort.
Thomas Beaufort, 1st Duke of Exeter.
Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland.
Her son John was the great-grandfather of Henry VII of England and the gra
ndfather of James II of Scotland; her daughter Joan Beaufort was the grand
mother of Edward IV of England and Richard III of England, whom Henry V
II defeated to take the throne. (Henry then married Elizabeth of York, dau
ghter of Edward IV, and their son became Henry VIII of England). Her step-
son became Henry IV of England by deposing Richard II of England (who w
as imprisoned and died shortly thereafter, in Pontefract Castle, where Kat
herine's son Thomas Swynford was constable, and he was said to have starv
ed Richard to death for his step-brother); her step-daughter, John and Con
stance's daughter Catherine (or Catalina), was the great-grandmother of Ca
therine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII of England and mother of M
ary I of England.
Katherine survived John by only four years, dying on May 10, 1403. (Sin
ce she was then dowager Duchess of Lancaster, there was a record of the ex
act day, as there was not for her birth, when she was a nobody.) Her tom
b, and that of her daughter Joan Beaufort, are under a carved-stone cano
py in the sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral, but their remains are no long
er in them, because the tombs were despoiled in 1644, during the English C
ivil War, by the Roundheads.
Katherine Swynford is the subject of Anya Seton's novel Katherine (first p
ublished in 1954).

Marjory Bruce, Princess o f Scotland, was the only child of the 1st

the same eventful month that Edward I o f England, the self-styled 'Hammer
of the Scots', invaded Scotland and laid s iege to Berwick.
At the end of June 1306 the 9-year-old princess, together wit h her step
mother and other women-folk of The Bruce's family, were sent for s afety
to Kildrummy Castle (Aberdeenshire), escorted by Nigel Bruce and the Ea rl
of Atholl. It was intended that they would then take refuge in Orkney
un til times were easier, but the English army was already at Aberdeen and
the r oyal ladies moved on to Tain, north of Inverness, still hoping for a
boat. He re they were captured in the sanctuary of St. Duthac and sent to
Edward of En gland, then at Lanercost Priory in Cumberland. They were
separated from each other and Marjorie was sent to a convent, where she
remained until her releas e 8 years later.
She was not yet eighteen at the time of the battle of Bannock burn, 24
June 1314. One of the heroes of that great victory over the English was
her second cousin once removed, Walter Stewart, 6th Lord High Steward,
some four years her senior, whom she married in the following year. It
was fr om that Stewart cousinship that the typically Stewart name of
Marjorie first came into the family of Bruce, Robert the Bruce's mother
and maternal grandmo ther both bearing that name. This last-named Marjorie
had been the second of the three daughters of Walter, 3rd High Steward.
Part of the wedding dowry whi ch Marjorie Bruce brought to her husband was
the castle and Barony of Bathgat e in Midlothian, which it was intended
would become their private family resi dence; but this was not to be.
Whether through rashness, fearlessness or ignor ance of the possible
consequences, Princess Marjorie went out riding near Pai sley while
heavily pregnant. Her horse, taking fright at something, reared up ,
Marjorie was thrown violently to the ground and immediately went into
pre mature labour. Her only child, the future Robert II, was delivered at
the roa dsiDe by Caesarean section (the first authentic record of such an
operation b eing performed since the birth of the eponymous Julius
Caesar). The beautiful Marjorie died within a few hours, aged only about
19 years and 3 months, on 2 March 1316. Her last words are reported to
have been 'He's a laddie; I ken he's a laddie; he will be king'. Her
improbable dying prophecy eventually cam e true, but not for another
fifty-five years.

REFN: P2701
The legacies of the Stewart’s are well documented in Scottish hist ory.
Walter FitzAllan was the First High Steward of Scotland assigned by King
David.  The Stewart family went on to inherit the thrown of Scotland by
th e marriage of Walter Stewart the son of James 5th High Steward, to
Marjory Br uce the daughter of Robert the Bruce and Isabella of Mar.
The Stewart’s have b een over-looked for their loyalty to the people of
Scotland.   Today’s histor y teaches that the Stewart’s were only barons
that were greedy and married in to the Royal Lines in order to obtain
their power.
James the 5th High Stewar d was a fantastic example of his patronage to
his beloved country, Scotland. He was one of the seven guardians of
Scotland that had the right to appoint a King.  The fight was on between
John Balliol and Robert Bruce the Competito r for the thrown.  Robert was
the closest in line for the thrown because he w as a grandson of Alexander
where Balliol was a great grandson.
The Guardians of Scotland knew Robert by all rights should be crowned
King.  King Edward c hose John Balliol due to the alliance established
between him and Balliol. Sir William Wallace fought under the banner of
Balliol.  Balliol was forced t o abdicate his thrown due to the great
pressure the Scots were putting on him as a traitor.   He did abdicate
and was killed.  Wallace continued to fight for the Balliol claim.
Silently, many men were flocking to Robert Bruce’s defe nse.  One of these
men was James 5th High Steward.  James had all the genealo gies sent to
attorneys in Europe to be examined by impartial parties.  The at torneys
concluded based on an example from the Bible that Robert Bruce the
Competitor should inherit the Thrown of Scotland.  When James had
received th e letters from the attorneys, he took a firm stand.  His
judgement was the sa me as the attorneys.
James swore allegiance to Robert the Competitor on Septem ber 20, 1286.
Turbulence surrounded Scotland for the next 30 years.  Edward b ecame
obsessed with Scotland.   After his wife died, Edward became a tyrant a nd
barbarian.  He poured out great cruelty upon the Scots.  For thirteen
ye ars Scotland had suffered greatly so the leaders of Scotland agreed to
surren der to Edward on July 9th, 1297.  Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick,
grandson of the Competitor and James Stewart refused to surrender or
produce hostages.
T he battle at Stirling Bridge was a win for the Scots.  They had
slaughtered t he English when they tried to cross to get to Berwick. The
Earl of Surrey cam e upon the English’s defeat and retreated back to
Falkirk.  James Stewart and Lennox along with their troops remained in
the woods watching Surrey.  On Se ptember 11, 1297 after watching Surrey’s
group for three days, Stewart and Le nnox attacked them.  The two Scotsmen
and their troops beat Surrey and seized the laden wagons of booty.
James Stewart participated in the first full-scale raid in Roxburgh in
July of 1299.   Once the Scots arrived at Roxburgh, the fortress was so
heavily guarded that the Scots knew they would loose many men if they
attempted to siege it.  Stewart and the other leaders told their men to
retreat.  This caused the Scots to become very discouraged and ill
temp ered.
The Constable of Roxburgh placed a spy in the camp of the Scots.  The
spy’s accounting is still in existence and kept in the Public Record
Office i n London.
At the council, Sir David Graham demanded the land and goods of Sir
William Wallace because he was leaving the Kingdom without the leave or
app roval of the Guardians.   And Sir Malcolm, Sir William’s brother,
answered th at neither his lands nor his goods should be given away, for
they were protec ted by the peace in which Wallace had left the Kingdom.
At this the two knigh ts gave the lie to each other and drew their
daggers.  And since Sir David Gr aham was of Sir John Comyn’s following,
it was

REFN: P2703
Robert the Bruce, 2nd Earl of Carrick and grandson of the old Competitor
had supported Edward I against Ba lliol but, when Wallace renounced the
guardianship of Scotland Bruce and Ball iol's nephew, John "Red" Comyn
replaced him as joint guardians. After a quarr el with Comyn he returned
to Edward's camp and obtained a pardon. Bruce, seek ing a reconciliation
with Comyn, impulsively stabbed him at Dumfries in a chu rch. He was again
outlawed by Edward and excommunicated. Bruce claimed the Sc ottish throne
as great-great-grandson of David I and was crowned at Scone in 1306. He
went into hiding in a cave on an island off Ireland after he killed Red
Comyn. This is where we get the legend of Bruce and the spider. We do not
know if this is a true story but it makes a good legend. He watched the
sp ider spinning its web and attempting to fix the web to the ceiling. At
last t he spider succeeded. According to the legend, this inspired Bruce
to overcome his many hardships and persevere until he had won back
Scotland. He made pla ns to take back his original home, Turnberry Castle.
As they made their way t o the castle, the plan was that if all was well,
a light would be showing at the castle wall. They did see the light but
upon nearing the castle, discover ed that it was an enemy fire.
Nonetheless, Bruce attacked and by this surpris e attack gained food,
armour and horses.  He learned that three of his brothe rs and his wife,
daughter and two sisters had been imprisoned by the English. Although he
was now King, he was not well supported by the nobles and so Sco ttish
lands and castles remained in the hands of the English. He knew that he
would have to fight castle by castle in order to regain Scotland and
drive the English out.  Through his perseverance, by 1324 all castles in
Scotland except Stirling were in Scottish hands.  By this time Edward II
was on the th rone of England and was much more ineffectual than his
father.
Bruce's much smaller force spectacularly defeated Edward II's 20,000
strong army at Bannoc kburn.
The Declaration of Arbroath, an affirmation of Scottish independence, w as
sent to the Pope but the Pope did not recognize Bruce for four years as
the rightful king of Scotland. After Edward III ascended to the throne,
Bruce 's army harassed the English so much that Edward III was forced to
acknowledg e his sovereignty and Scotland's freedom.
Not long after the peace Bruce died. He was buried in Dunfermline Abbey.
He had always wanted to go on a crusade. When he died his heart was
placed in a silver casket and kept by Sir James D ouglas who planned to
take it on a crusaDe to the Holy Lands.  Douglas joined the army of the
King of Spain and while fighting a battle was killed. But be fore he died,
he threw the casket in the midst of the battle crying, "Now go before,
brave heart, as you always did, and I shall follow you or die." The
casket was recovered
and returned to Scotland.
At the end of Bruce's life, h e had achieved what he had fought for years
to accomplish. Scotland was once again an independent kingdom. Scotland
remembers him as "Good King Robert" an d his triumph at Bannockburn is a
rallying cry to Scots everywhere. Scotland would never again be
conquered. Bruce's final legacy was to confirm "Scotland as separate and
distinct, not just as a kingdom but as a community, a people and
ultimately a nation."
ROBERT THE BRUCE - THE PATRIOT KING
The turn of the 14th century was a time of change and turmoil in
Scotland. The English ki ng Edward I, the "Hammer of the Scots", had

Fraser, Stirlingshire. His direct descendant, Alexander Fraser was knight

prince of Scotland, the son and heir-apparent of David I., but wh o

England, by which Northumberla nd was ceded to the latter, who gave in
return the earldom of Huntingdon; an exchange which produced great
dissatisfaction in Scotland, and the utmost dis pleasure in the subject of
this memoir. From this time Malcolm became unpopul ar in Scotland, and it
is not improbable that William took advantage of the n ational prejudices
to advance his own ambitious views. It is represented by t he Scottish
historians that, in 1164, the people obliged him to undertake the regency
of the kingdom, while the king his brother gave himself up to religi ous
meditation; a very decent description of what must have been little else
than a usurpation. On the 28th December, 1165, Malcolm died, and William
su cceeded to the crown.
William, having repeatedly but vainly solicited the rest itution of
Northumberland from Henry II., at length joined in a confederacy w ith his
son, the celebrated Coeur De Lion, for the purpose of dethroning that
monarch; Richard not only assuring him of the territory he desired, but
al so granting the earldom of Cambridge to his younger brother David. In
1174, W illiam served the purposes of this confederacy by an invasion of
Northumberla nd, which he spoiled without mercy. He was prosecuting the
siege of Alnwick w ith a small party, when a large body of Yorkshire
horsemen came upon him unex pectedly. Though he had only sixty horse to
present against four hundred, he gallantly charged the enemy, crying out,
"Now we shall see who are true knigh ts." He was unhorsed, disarmed, and
made prisoner, while his companions, and some others who were not then
present, submitted to the same fate, from a sen timent of duty. Henry did
not make a generous use of this triumph. He caused the captive monarch to
be brought into the presence of his court at Northampt on, with his feet
tied together under the belly of a horse, as if he had been a felon; and
afterwards placed him in strict confinement in the castle of Fa laise in
Normandy. The Scots, towards the close of the year, recovered their
monarch from captivity, but at the expense of a temporary surrender of
thei r national independence. In terms of the treaty formed on this
occasion, Will iam was to do homage to the English king for the whole of
his dominions; an o bject at which the latter had long unjustly aimed: and
the castles of Roxburg h, Berwick, Jedburgh, Edinburgh, and Stirling, were
surrendered as pledges on the part of the king of Scots, for the
performance of his promise. The indep endence of the Scottish church was
at the same time impignorated, but with ce rtain cautious ambiguities of
phrase that reflect great credit on the ingenui ty of its dignitaries, who
managed this part of the treaty. The claims of the English church over
Scotland, however, disturbed several of the ensuing year s of the reign of
William, who, in resisting them, backed as they were by the pope and all
his terrors, showed surprising fortituDe and perseverance.

Daughter of Patrick Earl of Dunbar, and widow of ....... Courtney, having
obtained from her father the lands of Home, and having no children by her
first husband, she carried her estate to her second husband and kinsman,
who thenceforth is called of Home. Another tradition of the way by which
t he lands and the name of Hume were gained, is given by Hume of
Godscroft, who says, "it is reported that a sone of the Earl of March,
who had overcome a c ertain French champion, was rewarded by his father
with the grant of the land s of Home, where the castle now stands."
Another tradition which Godscroft pr efers is, that a certain man named
Phillip, holding both the King and the law at defiance, headed a numerous
troop of robbers, who, lurking in woods and s olitudes, could not be taken
but by a regular army. He possessed two strongho lds, from which he
harrassed the Earl of March, the one on the top of the bac k of Home, the
other a few miles distant, which was fortified with a triple w all and
ditch, and still goes by the name of Phillipstane. William, a son of the
Earl, having one day met this robber, slew him, and carried his head to
the Earl; and the King for this action gave him the lands of Home. She
made over, before 1240, a part of them, however, to the monks of Kelso,
pro salute anime meae, patris et matris meae, et maritorum meorum; and of
another deed the words are, Ada De Curtnay filia Patricii Comitis de
Dunbar salutem. Votum facio me pro animabus maritorum meorum dediss, etc.
which shews that she sur vived both her husbands.
[From History of Dunbar Hume and Dundas from Drummond 's Noble British
Families, William Pickering, London 1846]
Ada received the lands of Home as part of her dowry.  Her descendants
would become the earls o f Home and she is the ancestor for the Home/Hume
family in Scotland.

The traditional account of the beginnings, in the Tenth Century, o f the
historic Hous of Hay, among whose descendants may be numbered a PresiDe nt
of the United States (the surname, Hayes, derived from the older form),
is as follows.
The Scottish Army, led by King Kenneth III, were engaged in bat tle with
the Danish invaders of their land, the place of this encounter being in
Perthshire, near Loncarty. Douglas, the celebrated Cronicler of
Scotlan d's noble families, says: "The Scotch at first gave way, and fled
through a n arrow pass, where they were stopped by a countryman of great
strength and cou rage, and his two sons, with no other weapons than the
yokes of their ploughs ; upbraiding the fugitives for their cowardice, he
succeeded in rallying Them ; the battle was renewed, and the Danes totally
discomfited. It is said that after the victory was obtained, the old man
lying on the ground, woulded and fatigued, cried, 'Hay, Hay,' which word
became the surname of his posterity; the King, as a reward of the signal
service, gave him as much land in the Car se of Gowrie, as a falcon should
flly over before it settled; and a falcon be ing accordingly let off, flew
over an extent of land six miles in length, aft erwards called Errol, and
lighted on a stone, still call Falconstone; the Kin g also assigned three
shields or escutcheons for the arms of the family, to i ntimate that the
father and the two sons, had been the three fortunate shield s of
Scotland."

The ancestor of the Scottish Hay family, William De La Haie, came to
Sco tland in the reign of David I and became butler to both Malcolm IV and
Willia m the Lion. His place of origin was named La Haie, near Loos in
west Flanders whose lords served the castellans of Lille; their device
was exactly like th at of the Scottish Hay. The first castellans of Lille
descended from the nobl e Fleming, Saswalo of Phalempin. Their charter
surname, De Insula, appears ma ny times in British history and Roger de
Insula was the ancestor of the lords Lyle in Scotland. One of his
grandsons married Matilda of Wavrin whose famil y was also of Lille and
who could trace their descent from Charlemagne by sev eral lines.

"The Hays are amongst the oldest and most illustrious of the historic
families of Scotland, but their real origin has been obscured by a
fabulous traditionary story which would still appear t o be held for
gospel truth in the northern district of Aberdeenshire, as vari ous
allusions were made to it on the banners and triumphal arches displayed
when the eldest so of the present Earl [1890's] came of age, as well as
in t he speeches delivered on that occasion. It is said that in the reign
of Kenne th III, the Danes invaded Scotland, and encountered a Scottish
army commanded by their king at Luncarty, near Perth. The battle was long
and fiercely cont ested, but at length the two wings of the Scotish forces
were compelled to gi ve way. As they were flying from the field, pursued
by the victorious Danes, a husbandman named Hay, who happened, along with
his two sons, to be at work in a neighbouring field, armed only with the
yokes of their ploughs, statione d themselves in a narrow pass through
which the fugitives were hurrying, comp elled them to halt in their
flight, restored the battle, and gained a complet e victory. "sone after,'
says Hector Boece, 'ane counsal was sat at Scone in the quhilk Hay and
his sons were maid nobil and doted for their singular virt ew provin in

Comyn, John (Black Comyn), d. c.13 00, Scottish nobleman
d. c.1300, Scottish nobleman, known as the Black Comyn. In 1286 he
became one of the six regents for Margaret Maid of Norway and, as such,
agreed to the treaty of 1290, by which Margaret was to marry the eldest
son of Edward I of England. After her death, he was at first a claimant
fo r the vacant throne but then supported the claim of his brother-in-law,
John De Baliol, who was awarded the crown by Edward I of England in 1292.
Comyn jo ined Baliol in his revolt against Edward but submitted to the
English king in 1296. The name also appears as Cumming.
COMYN, JOHN (d. C. 1300), Scottish ba ron, was a son of John Comyn (d.
1274), justiciar of Galloway, who was a neph ew of the constable of
Scotland, Alexander Comyn, earl of Buchan (d. 1289), a nd of the powerful
and wealthy Walter Comyn, earl of Mentieth (d. 1258). With his uncle the
earl of Buchan, the elder Comyn took a prominent part in the a ffairs of
Scotland during the latter part of the 13th century, and he had int erests
and estates in England as well as in his native land. He fought for He nry
III. at Northampton and at Lewes, and was afterwards imprisoned for a
s hort time in London. The younger Comyn, who had inherited the lordship
of Bad enoch from his great-uncle the earl of Mentieth, was appointed one
of the gua rdians of Scotland in 1286, and shared in. the negotiations
between Edward I. and the Scots in 1289 and 1290. When Margaret, the Maid
of Norway, died in 1 290, Comyn was one of the claimants for the Scottish
throne, but he did not p ress his candidature, and like the other Comyns
urged the claim of John De Ba liol. After supporting Baliol in his rising
against Edward I., Comyn submitte d to the English king in 1296; he was
sent to reside in England, but returned to Scotland shortly before his
death.
John II Comyn, Lord of Badenoch (d. 1302) or John "the Black", also kno
wn as Black Comyn, a Scottish nobleman, was a Guardian of Scotland, and o
ne of the six Regents for Margaret, Maid of Norway.
As a descendant of King Donald III, Comyn was one of the thirteen Competit
ors for the Crown of Scotland but did not aggressively push his claim f
or fear of jeopardising that of his brother-in-law John Balliol. Com
yn - as head of the most powerful noble family in Scotland - was a committ
ed ally of Balliol and assisted him in his struggle against Edward. It h
as even been suggested that the Comyn family were the driving force behi
nd both the Balliol kingship and the revolt against Edward's demands. Howe
ver, Comyn submitted to the English king in 1296.
He was the father of John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch and father-in-l
aw of Alexander of Argyll.
He died at Lochindorb Castle in 1302.

Archibald "The Grim", 3rd Earl of Douglas
The illegitimate son of Sir James "The Good", Archibald has been called
the most able statesman and soldier of his time. Under his leadership the
Dougla ses gained the Lordship of Galloway and, through marriage to Joanna
Murray, t he family possessions of the Murrays of Bothwell. Archibald's
daughter, Mary, married the Duke of Rothsay, Prince of Scotland while his
son and heir, also Archibald, wedded Princess Margaret, eldest daughter
of Robert III. Archibal d was also responsible for the construction of
Threave Castle, a long time Bl ack Douglas Stronghold. In 1384, Archibald
defeated the English garrison at L ochmaben Castle and in so doing removed
the last of the English Army in Annan dale. He died at Threave Castle in
1400.
Archibald 'The Grim', 3rd Earl of D ouglas ; Archibald is listed as an
illegitimate child of James Lord of Dougla s who was killed in 1330.
" .. surnamed the 'Grim,' from his swart complexion and stern expression
of countenance. Before he succeeded to the earldom he fo ught with great
gallantry in the wars of both France and England. In 1356 he accompanied
William, Earl of Douglas, to France, and was taken prisoner at th e battle
of Poitiers (13th September), but made his escape through a dexterou s
strategem of Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie. In 1378 he inflicted a
sign al defeat, near Melrose, of a body of English spearmen and archers
under Sir Thomas Musgrave. Before the battle he knighted on the field two
of the King's sons, who were under his banner, along with his own son.
The conflict was ke enly contested, but was quickly decided. Douglas,
according to his general cu stom, as Froissart mentions, when he found the
fight becoming hot, dismounted , and wielding a large two-handled sword,
made such havoc among the enemy tha t they gave way on all sides. Great
numbers were slain, and Musgrave and his son, with many other knights and
squires, were taken prisoners. After the Ear l became the head of the
family, he was regarded as the most powerful subject in the kingdom He
was noted for his courage, firmness, and sagacity, and not less for his
pride. Hume of Godscroft says, 'He was a man nothing inferior t o any of
his predecessors in any kind of virtue. In piety he was singular thr ough
his whole life, and most religious according to those times! He founded
the Collegiate Church of Bothwell, a part of which still remains to
attest its former magnificence. Godscroft affirms that the Earl had a
mind free from all ambition, but his conduct in regard to the marriage of
his daughter Marj ory to Daivd, Duke of Rothesay, the heir-apparent to the
throne, shows that h e was scarcely entitled to that eulogium. The Prince
was affianced to the dau ghter of the Earl of March; but Douglas, jealous
of the aggrandisement of a r ival noble, by the offer of a much more
splendid dowry prevailed upon Albany, the King's brother, to get that
contract set aside, on the plea that the san ction of the Estates had not
been given to it, and to wed Rothesay to Marjory Douglas. The result of
this dishonourable transaction was highly injurious t o the happiness of
the Prince, and the peace of the country. Notwithstanding, the influence
of the Earl was on the whole beneficial during the feeble reig n of Robert
III; and when he and the Queen-mother, Anabella Drummond, and the
venerable Bishop Traill of St. Andrews, all died, A.D. 1400, within a
shor t time of each other, according to Fordun it was commonly said
throughout the kingdom that the glory and honesty of Scotland was buried
with these three n oble persons."

Walter Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, jure uxoris Earl of Menteith (d. 1258) w
as the son of William Comyn, Justiciar of Scotia and Mormaer or Earl of Bu
chan by right of his second wife.
Walter makes his first appearance in royal charters as early as 1211–121
4. In 1220, he accompanied King Alexander II of Scotland during the latter
's visit to York. He appears as "Lord of Badenoch" as early as 1229, aft
er the defeat of the Meic Uilleim by his father. Like his father, Walter w
as given the hand of an heiress, Isabella, Countess of Menteith. By 123
4, Isabella had inherited the Mormaerdom of Menteith, and so Walter beca
me Mormaer or Earl of Menteith by right of his wife (jure uxoris). Walt
er appears to have had at least one child, a man called Henry who witness
ed a charter, dated to 1250, of Maol Domhnaich, Mormaer of Lennox.
Walter was one of the leading political figures in the Kingdom of Scotlan
d, especially during the minority of King Alexander III, when, along wi
th Alan Durward, he essentially ran the country. He died suddenly in eith
er the October or November of 1258. By this time, his son Henry must ha
ve been dead. Isabella remained countess until 1260–1261, when Walter Stew
art, wife of Isabella's sister Mary, seized the province. As Walter h
ad no surviving male children, the Lordship of Badenoch passed to Walter
's nephew John. John was unable to inherit Menteith.

Alexander lost the title to Menteith under Edward I but after

enjoyed the reunited title after the death of his brother Alan, the

Sir Robert Stewart, after the death of the Countess Mary, was created
Earl of Menteith, afterwards Earl of Fife and Duke of Alba ny, and became
Regent of Scotland. Their son, Murdach Earl of Menteith and se cond Duke
of Albany, succeeded his father as Regent of Scotland; and the sad fate
of himself and his family at the hands of King James the First is matter
of history. The earldom of Menteith was then forfeited to the crown.
Walter Stewar t was the first Earl of Menteith of his name. He was the
father of
Alexander , Earl of Menteith, who was dispossessed of the earldom by
the English; and it was for a time divided between Sir John Hastings,
the competitor for the Crow n of Scotland, and his brother, Sir Edmund
Hastings, who married Lady Isabella Comyn. The successful
termination of the War of Independence at the battle of Bannockburn
restored the earldom to the Stewarts, and it was reunited under t he
younger son of Alexander, Murdach, the eighth Earl, who enjoyed the
title after the death of his brother Alan, the seventh Earl.

Thomas Randolph (Earl of Moray)
? - 1332
Regent to the young Kin g David II, son of Robert the Bruce (1329).
Randolph had fought with Bruce ag ainst Edward II at Bannockburn.
Immediately prior to Bannockburn, Randolph re captured Edinburgh Castle
from the English by climbing its walls at night.
F ather of Black Agnes, Countess of Dunbar.
RANDOLPH, THOMAS, EARL OF MORAY.—Thi s ancient Scottish paladin, who
occupies so prominent a part in the wars of R obert Bruce, was sister’s
son of that great sovereign. He first appears among the adherents of good
King Robert, when the latter commenced his desperate a ttempt to win the
crown of Scotland, and make it worth wearing. In this way h is name, as
Thomas Randolph, knight of Strahdon, occurs in the list of that i ntrepid
band who crowned his uncle at Scone; and in the disastrous skirmish s oon
after, near Methven, he was one of the prisoners who fell into the hands
of the English. As the insurgent Scots were regarded as rebels against
thei r liege lord, Edward I., the usual laws of war were dispensed with;
and thus, either with or without trial, the noblest and best of Scotland
were consigne d to the dungeon or the gallows. The worst of these
alternatives would probab ly have been the fate of Randolph, in
consequence of his near relationship to Bruce, had not the brave Adam De
Gordon, who was a favourite with the Englis h king, interceded in his
behalf. Randolph’s life in consequence was spared, but it was only on
condition that he should swear fealty to Edward; and to th is he submitted
with that facility so characteristic of the knightly fidelity of the
middle ages. He swore that he would be Edward’s man, and the deadly e nemy
of all his enemies (including, of course, his own uncle and kindred), an d
thus was transformed in a trice from a Scottish patriot into a friend and
servant of the oppressor. If anything can apologize for such
tergiversation, it might be the difficulty of deciding at times with
which party the right r emained; and many may have thought, with Sir Roger
De Coverly, that much migh t be said on both sides—especially when they
had a gallows in view.
Randolph having thus changed his party, appears to have fought for it
with a courage that did not belie his future renown. He was even among
that band, headed by Aymer De Valence and John of Lorn, that chased
Robert Bruce among the wilds o f Galloway with blood-hounds, and nearly
succeeded in capturing or slaying hi m. On this occasion, Sir Thomas
pursued the chase so eagerly, that he took hi s uncle’s standard-bearer
prisoner, along with the royal banner. But this unw orthy alienation was
not to continue much longer, and an event occurred by wh ich Randolph was
to be recovered to his country and his true fame. At this ti me Sir James
Douglas, renowned far and wiDe by his terrible vengeance upon th e
English, who had garrisoned the castle of his fathers, was intrenched
amo ng the depths of Ettrick Forest, and making it good by prowess and
stratagem against every assailant. This was a tempting adventure for
Randolph, and acco rdingly, accompanied by Sir Alexander Stewart of
Bonkill, and Sir Adam Gordon —Anglicized Scots, like himself—he set off
upon the enterprise, and encamped for the night at a solitary house on
the Lyne-water, a tributary stream that falls into the Tweed a little
above Peebles. Douglas, however, whom no enemy ever caught asleep,
happened to be in the neighbourhood; and on approaching t he house, he
overheard some one within exclaiming "the devil!" with true mili tary
emphasis. Guessing from this token that the building was tenanted by
s tout soldiers, he made a sudden assault, scattered the surprised
inmates, and captured Stewart and Randolph, whom he conducted to his
master next morning. The meeting between the king and his renegaDe nephew
was characteristic of s uch a party-changing period. "Nephew," said Bruce

REFN: 2930AN
He was created Duke of Lancaster in 1362, following the death of his fathe
r-in-law Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster. He received half of Hen
ry's lands, the title Earl of Lancaster - and distinction as the greate
st land owner in the north of England - because of his first marriage to h
is cousin, Blanche of Lancaster (1359), heiress to the Palatinate of Lanca
ster. He received the rest of the inheritance only when Blanche's siste
r, Maud (married to William of Hainault, Count of Holland and Zealand), di
ed in 1361.
Gaunt received the title Duke of Lancaster from Edward III on 13 Novembe
r, 1382, and was by then well established as a fabulously wealthy prin
ce - one with at least thirty castles and vast estates across England a
nd France. His household was comparable in scale and organisation to th
at of a monarch.
After the death of his elder brother, Edward, the Black Prince, John of Ga
unt became increasingly powerful. He contrived to protect the religious re
former John Wyclif, with whose aims he sympathised. However, Gaunt's ascen
dancy to political power coincided with widespread resentment at his influ
ence. At a time when English forces encountered setbacks in the Hundred Ye
ars' War against France and Edward III's rule had started to become domest
ically unpopular due to high taxation and to the King's affair with Ali
ce Perrers, political opinion closely associated the Duke of Lancaster wi
th the failing government of the 1370s. Furthermore, while the king and t
he Prince of Wales had the status of popular heroes due to their succe
ss on the battlefield, Gaunt had never known any such military success whi
ch might have bolstered his reputation.
When King Edward III died (1377) and John's nephew, the ten-year-old Richa
rd II of England, succeeded to the throne, Gaunt's influence strengthen
ed further, but mistrust remained and some suspected him of wanting to sei
ze the throne for himself. He took pains to ensure that he never became as
sociated with the opposition to Richard's kingship, but as virtual rul
er of England during Richard's minority, some unwise decisions on taxati
on led to the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, during which the rebels destroy
ed his Savoy Palace.
In 1386, Richard, who had by now assumed more power for himself, dispatch
ed Gaunt to Spain as an ambassador. However, crisis ensued almost immediat
ely and in 1387 Richard's misrule took the country to the brink of civil w
ar. Only John of Gaunt, on his return to England, was able to bring abo
ut a compromise between the Lords Appellant and King Richard, usheri
ng in a period of stability and relative harmony. During the 1390s, Jo
hn of Gaunt's reputation of devotion to the well-being of the kingdom beca
me much restored. Gaunt died of natural causes on February 3 1399 at Leice
ster Castle, with his beloved third wife Katherine by his side
John of Gaunt's later marriages and descendants
Blanche died in 1369. It is believed Geoffrey Chaucer wrote and dedicat
ed his Book of the Duchess to her, as the poem not only mentions the Bla
ck Knight, but the 'Lady White', whom we can take to be Blanche in allegor
y.
In 1371, John married Constanza of Castile, daughter of King Peter I of Ca
stile, thus giving him a claim on the kingdom of Castile, which he would p
ursue unsuccessfully.
In the meantime, John of Gaunt had fathered four children by a mistress, K
atherine Swynford (whose sister married the poet, Geoffrey Chaucer). Const
anza died in 1394. He married Katherine in 1396 or 1397, and their childre
n, the Beauforts, were legitimised but barred from inheriting the thron
e. From the eldest son, John, came a granddaughter, Margaret Beaufort, who
se son, later King Henry VII of England, would nevertheless claim the thro

" ... Sir Malcolm Drummond ... was a zealous supporter of the clai ms of
Robert Bruce to the Scottish throne, and like his father fell into the
hands of the English, having been taken prisoner by Sir John Segrave. On

Glasgow. After the ind ependence of the country was secured by the
crowning victory of Bannockburn, Malcolm was rewarded for his services by
King Robert Bruce with lands in Pert hshire. Sir Robert Douglas, the
eminent genealogist, conjectures that the cal trops, or four-spiked pieces
of iron, with the motto 'Gang warily,' in the ar morial bearings of the
Drummonds, were bestowed as an acknowledgement of Sir Malcom's active

1205 Malcolm Drummond REFN: 2938AN
REFN: P2939
Thought by some to be Malcolm Beg, but disputed by recent research ers.
This article is quite old:
Though genealogies have been published showin g a Hungarian ancestry for
this family, it has been "proved, by conclusive ev idence, that these
statements respecting the origin of the Drummond family ar e purely
apocryphal. The word Drummon, Drymen, or Drummin, is used as a local name
in several counties of Scotland, and is derived from the Celtic word
druim, a ridge or knoll. The firsrt person who can be proved to have
borne th e name was one Malcolm of Drummond, who, along with his brother,
named Gilber t, witnessed the charters of Maldouen, third Earl of Lennox,
from 1225 to 127 0. But this Malcolm was simply a chamberlain to the Earl.
Mr. Drummond states that he was made hereditary thane or seneschal of
Lennox, which is quite uns upported by evidence; and he asserts that
Malcolm's estates reached from the shores of the Gareloch, in
Argyll, across the counties of Dumbarton and Stirling into
Perthshire, which Mr. Fraser has shown to be an entire mistake. Instead
of the Barony of Drymen, or Drummond, having been granted to Prince
Maurice by Malcolm Canmore in 1070, the lands belonged to the Crown
previou s to the year 1489, when for the first time they were let on lease
to John, f irst Lord Drummond, and afterwards granted to him as feu-farm.
The earliest c harter to the family of any lands having a similar name was
granted in 1362, by Robert Stewart of Scotland, Earl of Strathern, to
Maurice of Drummond, of the dominical lands, or mains of Drommand and
Tylychravin, inthe earl of Stra thern. It is doubtful if he ever entered
into possession of these lands; but it is clear that, whether he did so
or not, they did not belong to the Drummo nd family previous to the grant
of 1362, but were part of the estates of the Earl of Strathern, and that
they are wholly distinct from the lands and lords hip of Drummond
afterwards acquired by John Drummon, who sat in Parliament 6t h May, 1471,
under the designation of Dominus De Stobhall, and, sixteen years later,
was created a peer of Parliament by James III."
"It thus appears tha t the founder of the Drummond family was not a
Hungarian prince, or even gent leman, but Malcolm Beg, chamberlain to the
Earl of Lennox."
The Great Histor ical Families of Scotland, James Taylor
The research into his family is contin uing, and there is some thought
that Malcolm of Drummond and Malcolm Beg were contemporaries, but not the
same man.

A second son, Sir Malcolm, whom Wyntoun terms 'a manfull knycht, b aith
wise and wary,' fought at the battle of Otterburn in 1388, in which his
brother-in-law, James, second Earl of Douglas and Mar, was killed, and
succ eeded him in the latter earldom, in right of his wife, Lady Isabel
Douglas, o nly daughter of William, first Earl of Douglas. He seems to
have had some sha re in the capture at that battle of Ralph Percy, brother
of the famous Hotspu r, as he received from Robert III a pension of L20,
in satisfaction of the th ird part of Percy's ransom, which exceeded L600.
He died of his 'hard captivi ty' which he endured at the hands of a band
of ruffians by whom he was seized and imprisoned. His widow, the heiress
of the ancient family of Mar, was for cibly married to Alexander Stewart,
a natural son of 'The Wolf of Badenoch.' "

Countess of Mar
http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Genealogy/Historical /historic%20Stewart.htm
Thomas, the ninth earl, or, according to another moDe of reckoning, the
thirteenth who enjoyed that dignity, was one of the most po werful nobles
of his day. He held the office of Great Chamberlain of Scotland , and was
repeatedly sent as ambassador to England. He died in 1377, leaving no
issue, and in him ended the direct male line of the Earls of Mar. His
si ster Margaret was, at the time of Earl Thomas's death, the wife of
William, E arl of Douglas, nephew and heir of the 'Good Sir James,' the
friend of Robert Bruce. On the death of his brother-in-law he obtained
possession of the hist orical earldom of Mar and transmitted it, along
with his own hereditary title s and estates, to his son James, the hero of
Otterburn, 'the dead man that wo n a fight'--one of the most renowned in
Scottish history. The Douglas estates were inherited by Archibald 'the
Grim,' the kinsman of Earl James, while the earldom of Mar passed to his
sister, Isabella, wife of Sir Malcolm Drummond, brother of Annabella,
Queen of Scotland, wife of Robert III. About the year 1403, Sir Malcolm
was suddenly surprised by a band of ruffians, who treated h im with such
barbarity that he soon after died, leaving no issue. This outrag e was
universally ascribed to Alexander Stewart, natural son of the Earl of
Buchan, the 'Wolf of Badenoch,' fourth son of Robert II. After the death
of her husband the Countess was residing quietly and in fancied security
at her castle of Kildrummie, when it was suddenly attacked and stormed by
Stewart at the head of a formidable band of Highland freebooters and
outlaws, and eithe r by violence or persuasion the young Countess was
induced to become the wife of the redoubted cateran, and to make over to
him, on the 12th of August, 14 04, her earldom of Mar and Garioch, with
all her other castles. In order, how ever, to give a legal aspect to the
transaction, Stewart presented himself, o n the 19th of September, at the
gate of the castle of Kildrummie, and surrend ered to the Countess 'the
castle and all within it, and the title deeds there in kept; in testimony
thereof he delivered to her the keys to dispose of as s he pleased.' The
Countess, holding the keys in her hand, declared that delibe rately and of
her own free will she chose Stewart for her husband, and confer red upon
him the castle, pertinents, &c., as a free marriage gift, of which h e
took instruments. It appears that even this formal transaction was not
De emed sufficient to give validity to the transaction, for on the 9th
December following, the Countess, taking her station in the fields
outsiDe her castle, in the presence of the Bishop of Ross, and the
sheriff and posse comitatus o f the county, along with the tenantry on the
estate, that it might appear tha t she was really acting without force on
Stewart's part or fear on hers, gran ted a charter to him of her castle
and estates duly signed and sealed.

SOME CORRECTIONS TO THE SINCLAIR PEDIGREE
Andrew B. W. MacEwen
Beatrix Si nclair, Countess of Douglas.  She was married before 7
March 1425/6 to James Douglas of Balveny, called "the Gross", afterwards
7th Earl of Douglas,1 and is described on his monument as daughter of
Henry; Earl of Orkney.2 According to The Scots Peerage3 she was the only
daughter of Henry, 2nd Earl of Orkney of that name, by his wife Egidia,
daughter of Sir William Douglas of Nithsda le and granddaughter of King
Robert II.  The Complete Peerage is unsure which Earl Henry was her
father.4
This is not really a question, however, for the second Earl Henry
married a niece of James the Gross.  Had Beatrix been a da ughter of this
marriage, she would have been her husband’s grandniece (of the half
blood), since Sir William Douglas of Nithsdale was a natural son of
A rchibald "the Grim", 3rd Earl of Douglas.5  Such a relationship is
inherently unlikely, and two dispensations disprove it altogether.  The
sons of Beatrix , William and James, the 8th and 9th Earls of Douglas,
were successive husban ds of their cousin Margaret, only daughter of
Archibald, 5th Earl of Douglas. Her mother, Euphemia Graham, was a
descendant of Robert II, while her fathe r the 5th Earl was himself a
grandson of Robert III.
The dispensations6 are dated 24 July 1444 and 27 February 1452/3, and in
each the relationship dispe nsed is the 2nd and 3rd of consanguinity
(representing the common descent fro m Archibald the Grim).  Had the
Countess Beatrix also been descended both fro m Robert II and from
Archibald the Grim, her sons would have been related to Margaret in three
additional ways (4th and 3rd, 4th and 4th, and 4th and 4th of
consanguinity), but this is clearly not the case.  Beatrix was thus a
da ughter of the first Earl Henry, slain in 14O4,7 and she was probably
his youn gest, or even posthumous, child.
Although Countess Beatrix was not her husband ’s grandniece, it is perhaps
of interest to note that both her brother, the s econd Earl Henry, and his
son, Earl William (of Orkney, afterwards of Caithne ss), married
granddaughters of the same man, Archibald the Grim, Earl of Doug las.

1324 - 1370 David II Bruce 45 45 REFN: 2951AN
REFN: P2952
David II (March 5, 1324-February 22, 1371) king of Scotland, son o f King
Robert the Bruce by his second wife, Elizabeth De Burgh (d. 1327), was
born at Dunfermline Palace, Fife.
In accordance with the terms of the treat y of Northampton he was married
in July 1328 to Joanna (d. 1362), daughter of the English king, Edward
II, and became king of Scotland on his father's dea th in June 1329. He
was crowned at Scone in November 1331.
Owing to the vict ory of Edward III of England and his protégé, Edward
Balliol, at Halidon Hill in July 1333, David and his queen were sent for
safety into France, reaching Boulogne in May 1334, and being received
very graciously by the French king, Philip VI. Little is known about the
life of the Scottish king in France, ex cept that Château Gaillard was
given to him for a residence, and that he was present at the bloodless
meeting of the English and French armies at Vironfos se in October 1339.
Meanwhile his representatives had obtained the upper hand in Scotland,
and David was thus enabled to return to his kingdom in June 1341 , when he
took the reins of government into his own hands. In 1346 he invaded
England in the interests of France, but was defeated and taken prisoner
at the battle of Neville's Cross in October of that year, and remained in
Engla nd for eleven years, living principally in London and at Odiham in
Hampshire. His imprisonment was not a rigorous one, and negotiations for
his release we re soon begun. Eventually, in October 1357, after several
interruptions, a tr eaty was signed at Berwick by which the Scottish
estates undertook to pay 100 ,000 marks as a ransom for their king.
David, who had probably recognized Edwa rd III as his feudal superior,
returned at once to Scotland; but owing to the poverty of the kingdom it
was found impossible to raise the ransom. A few in stalments were paid,
but the king sought to get rid of the liability by offer ing to make
Edward III, or one of his sons, his successor in Scotland. In 136 4 the
Scottish parliament indignantly rejected a proposal to make Lionel, duk e
of Clarence, the next king; but David negotiated secretly with Edward III
over this matter, after he had suppressed a rising of some of his unruly
nob les.
The king died in Edinburgh Castle in 1371. His second wife was Margaret,
widow of Sir John Logie, whom he divorced in 1369; but he left no
children, and was succeeded by his nephew, Robert II. David was a weak
and incapable r uler, without a spark of his father's patriotic spirit.

Elizabeth De Burgh was the daughter of Richard De Burgh the powerf ul Earl
of Ulster a close friend of Edward I king of England. There is little
information to say when Elizabeth first met the young Robert Bruce Earl
of Carrick, but it is likely that they may have met at the English court,
both being  frequent visitors, in the days of peace with England, when
Alexander I II was King of Scots.
With the death of Alexander, who died without heir. Edwa rd set his sights
on control of Scotland,  the new King of Scots was chosen a s John
Balliol. After the battle of Dunbar where Balliol and the Scots army
were defeated by Edward, many of the Scottish nobles were captured and
Ballio l was stripped of his Kingship and sent into exile in France.
Meanwhile the r esistance in Scotland continued  with Sir William Wallace
and Sir Andrew Mora y
With the capture and execution of Wallace, Bruce decided to make a stand
a gainst Edward. Robert the Bruce was crowned Robert I King of Scots at
Scone o n the 27 March 1306. After the coronation Elizabeth and her court
were sent t o the safety of Kildrummy castle under the protection of Nigel
Bruce. The new ly crowned King Robert I headed for Perth, held by the
English Earl of Pembro ke. Upon reaching the castle, Bruce roDe up to the
walls and challenged Pembr oke to come out and fight or surrender the
town. Pembroke replied that the da y was too far gone for combat but on
the following morning he would accept hi s challenge.
The English attacked the Scots camp in the night. During the atta ck Bruce
made for Pembroke and  slew his horse. Being outnumbered two to one Bruce
and his men had no choice other than to fight their way to the safety o f
the hills. It was a shattering defeat, the Scots army had all but been
De stroyed. At Kildrummy castle the situation was just as grave for the
Queen an d her Royal party. An English force had arrived and attacked the
castle, one of the strongest in Scotland and capable of withstanding a
long siege. The En glish were almost on the point of
abandoning the attack, when they managed to bribed the castle's
blacksmith, who set fire to the corn store which quickly spread until the
main gate was burned.  Though the defenders held out for a n ight and a
day they finally surrendered, and the Queen and those with here we re
captured. The blacksmith received his reward, of all the gold he could
c arry. The English fulfilled their bargain by pouring it molten down his
throat .
'.......all wives of his enemies were to be treated as outlaws, any man,
a s he might wish, could rob, rape or murder them immune from punishment'
Edward King of England, the so called
'hammer' of the Scots
The captured Royal par ty included  Queen Elizabeth, and the Countess of
Buchan, Bruce's daughter Ma rjorie, and his two sisters, Mary and
Christina. Nigel Bruce and all the othe r men taken with him were dragged
through the streets of Berwick, hung and th en beheaded. The Countess of
Buchan and Mary Bruce were shut up in wooden cag es erected on the walls
of Berwick and Roxburgh castles, exposed to the gaze of passers by and
treated as if they were animals in a zoo. Bruce's 12 year o ld daughter
Marjorie was sent to a nunnery.
Elizabeth represented perhaps Ed ward's greatest chance for revenge
against Bruce, though one thing was in her favour, her father. The Earl
of Ulster would have made an unwelcome enemy fo r Edward, Elizabeth was
placed under house arrest in England. Eight years lat er in 1314, Robert
the Bruce defeated Edward's son, Edward II  at Bannockburn , the Scots
captured over 100 English knights and Barons. These were exchange d for
Queen Elizabeth and fifteen other Scottish captives held in England. Ma ry
Bruce had been released in 1312, the Countess of Buchan appears to have
died in captivity.
In 1316 Bruce's pregnant daughter Marjorie was thrown from her horse and
killed, the surgeons were imme

knighted 1270.
THE old district of Mar was very extensive. It com menced in the
neighbourhood of Aberdeen, and extended to the border of Badeno ch,
comprising nearly the whole of the valleys of the Dee and Don and the
t erritory lying between them. As mentioned in the Introduction, in Celtic
time s the Mormear was the ruler of the tribe of the land; and the old
Earls of Ma r were descended from the Celtic Mormears, and can be traced
from the tenth c entury onward.
In 1014 Donald, son of Emin, was Mormaer of Mar, and in that ye ar he
proceeded to Ireland to assist the Irish in repelling the attacks of th e
Danes, and he fought and fell in the battle of Clontarf. In the reign of
Alexander I. Ruadri was Mormaer of Mar, and he became the first Earl of
Mar. He was one of the Earls who gave consent to the foundation charter
of the Abb ey of Scone by Alexander I., in 1120. He was also a witness to
the important charter of David I. to the monks of Dumfermline, about 1126.
Ruadri was succee ded by Morgund, second Earl of Mar. Between the years
1165 and 1171 he grante d the church of Tarland to the canons of St
Andrews, with its tithes and obla tions, land and mill, and also the
second tithes of the Earl’s land, and timb er from his woods for building
purposes. This grant was confirmed by a charte r of William the Lion. Earl
Morgund and Agnes, his countess, also granted the church of Migvie to the
canons of St Andrews.
Morgund was succeeded by Gilc hrist, third Earl of Mar. It seems probable
that he built the Priory of Monym usk, and by charter he granted to it the
churches of St Marnan of Leochel, St . Wolock of Ruthven, St. Andrew of
Alford, and Invernochty in Strathdon. He c ontested the claims of the
patronage of the church of St Marnan, of Aberchird er, with William the
Lion and the Bishop of Moray, and granted it to the monk s of the
Monastery of Arbroath.
Gilchrist was succeeded by Gratney, fourth E arl of Mar, of whom little is
known. But he appeared, with his son Malcolm, a s a witness of charters,
under the title of Earl of Mar, and one at least of these charters was
confirmed by William the Lion. About the year 1224 he was succeeded by
Duncan, fifth Earl of Mar. Earl Duncan granted St Andrew’s Churc h, in
Braemar, to the Priory of Monymusk, with an acre of land on the other
siDe of the Water of Clunie. He also confirmed some of the grants made by
hi s father, Earl Morgund.
A dispute arose between the Earl of Mar and Thomas Dur ward touching the
legitimacy of Earl Morgund and his son Duncan. Durward asse rted that
Morgund and his son were illegitimate, and on that ground he claime d the
Earldom of Mar, in right of his mother, of whom little is known, except
that she was the wife of Malcolm Lundin, the King’s hereditary
door-keeper . it is pretty certain, however, that the King supported the
claim of his doo rkeeper, with the aim of breaking up this old Celtic
earldom. The dispute for a time was settled by a compromise under which
Thomas Durward obtained his g reat domains in Mar—stretching from
Invercanny, on the banks of the Dee, to A lford, on the Don, and from
Coull, on the West, to Skene, on the east. Yet th e Durwards were not
satisfied, and subsequently Thomas Durward’s son claimed the whole
Earldom of Mar, and made the utmost efforts to obtain possession of it.
This family took the name of Durward from their hereditary office of
d oorkeepers to the King, and for a time they rose rapidly to power and
influen ce.
This seems the proper place to touch briefly on the origin of the Earldom
of the Garioch, which afterwards became connected with the Earldom of
Mar. The Earldom of the Garioch was created by William the Lion, and
granted by hi m to his brother, David, Earl of Huntingdon. This new
earldom mainly consiste d of the territory surrounding the old fort of
Dunideer, and lying between th e Don and its tributary, the Water of Ury.

Died in battle at Halidon Hill.
Adam De Gordun, 8th of that Ilk
He escaped from Dunbar...and was compelled to surrender at Elgin on the
28th July. His mother, Marjory, had no option but to submit and swear
fealty befor e Edward I which she did on 3rd September. When, in the
spring of 1297, Sir W illiam Wallace commenced his noble and patriotic
struggle, he was joined by A dam who shared his hardships and brilliant
exploits. He distinguished himself at Stirling Bridge, but again had to
see Scotland under the feet of the Engl ish after Falkirk, a defeat due
mainly to the jealousy and treachery of some of the Scottish nobles.
1308 was an eventful year for Sir Adam. Edward I had d ied the previous
year but he continued his adherence to his successor, Edward II from who
he reserved [grant of land and to John Balliol].
During same ye ar he was able to be of service to Robert the Bruce. He
secured from Edward I I the release of Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrews
and Primate, who had been i mprisoned in 1306 for his part in the
coronation of Bruce, and also by his ex ertions saved the life of Sir
Thomas Randolph...[a major follower of Bruce’s] .
The death of John Balliol in 1314 released Sir Adam from fealty to him
and he sought an interview with Robert Bruce. He took service under
Randolph who was created Earl of Moray, fighting under his banner at
Bannockburn in June, 1314. His services were rewarded by the King
granting him new lands [Strathb ogie] and employing him on state affairs
of high importance...
Sir Adam and Sir Edward Maubisson were chosen to carry the Proclamation
of Arbroath, setti ng forth the grievances suffered from the English and
praising the character and rule of Robert..., to the Pope.
He left by his wife, Annabella, at least f our sons and a daughter. Of
these, the eldest son, Alexander succeeded to the Gordun lands, while
William, the second son got Stichell as settled by chart er of 1315 and
from him are descended the Gordons in Galloway (Vol. XII & XII I). John
and Thomas became priests and died unmarried; the daughter, Mary, ma rried
Sir Walter Hambledon of Cadzow.

Adam De Gordun married an English woman named Marjory and in her right
possessed an estate in England for which he had to do homage to the
English King [Henry III]. Alexander of Scotland h ad died the previous
year [1286] and his grand daughter, the young Maid of No rway, died in
1290 leaving the throne vacant. The matter was referred to Edwa rd I [of
England] who decided in favor of John Balliol to whom Adam adhered.
["Braveheart" fame] ...he [John Balliol] raised an army in the West which
w as joined by Adam whose Berwickshire lands were plundered by the English
duri ng Edward’s victorious invasion of Scotland. When, on the 28th of
April 1296, the armies met on the field of Dunbar, Adam was one of the
large number whic h fell in that fight so fatal to Scottish independence.
He left a son.

REFN: P3070
Prince of Gwynedd & Aberffraw
Lord of Snowdon
Reigned as Prince from 1194 - 1240
In Gwynedd, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth had come to power in the classic way of W
elsh princes bedeviled by the dividing rule of Welsh inheritance - he seiz
ed it from his uncle. He proved to be the greatest and most constructive W
elsh statesman of the Middle Ages. In his long career he succeeded, by con
stant warfare, by tactful yielding under pressure and by masterly resilien
ce the moment that pressure was relieved, in bringing under his control mo
st of Pura Wallia. When he died in 1240, full of honor and glory, he le
ft a principality which had the possibility of expanding into a truly nati
onal state of Wales. There was a moment when an independent Wales seemed a
bout to become a reality.
Llywelyn deliberately set out on a policy of reconstructing the whole bas
is of Welsh political life, and not every Welshman was happy about it. Lly
welyn lived in an age which saw the emergence of the centralized feudal st
ate. Both France and England presented the spectacle of societies elaborat
ing their administrative machinery, putting their taxation on a new and so
under footing and systematizing their codes of justice, but Llywelyn's pri
ncipality was small and lacking resources. Hostile English observers cou
ld wax satirical about its pretensions to international status.
Gwynedd had always been the core of the power of the princes, and the expa
nsion of Llywelyn's territory gave him the ability to do many things beyo
nd the power of previous Welsh rulers. We find Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (the G
reat) and Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (the Last) developing castle buildi
ng on a considerable scale. The remains of Castell y Bere or of Ewloe, Dol
badarn and Dolwyddelan even show distinctive Welsh style. The princes ga
ve charters to the small towns growing in their domains. They supported t
he abbeys and the friaries. We sense a new Wales coming into being, an
d, at the moment, it was basically an independent Wales. The great questi
on was, would this new Wales be able to develop to its full potential with
out interference from without or protests from within? Looming over it w
as the king of England.
For over all this hung the vexing yet vital question of the exact ter
ms of Llywelyn's homage to the king. The king was always acknowledged as b
eing at the head of the pyramid and by the 13th century Welsh rulers al
so accepted the principle that homage should be paid to the King of Englan
d. Hywel Dda had done do, far back in the 10th century, and both Owain Gwy
nedd and the Lord Rhys had done homage to Henry II. The problem was that L
lywelyn claimed that the status in relation to the King of England was t
he same enjoyed by the King of Scotland - that barons were to pay their ho
mage directly to him and not the king, but King John took a different vie
w. He felt that the barons should also do their homage to him. This gave h
im the right of continual interference in Welsh affairs. At times the rela
tionship between Llywelyn and the king were mutually supportive, in part b
ecause Llywelyn managed to marry Joan, the illegitimate daughter of King J
ohn, in 1205. But even this family tie soon broke down over the questi
on of homage and disputed territories.
When the Welsh princes were strong they could enforce a grudging acknowled
gement of their position from the king. When they were weak, the king gran
ted treaties firmly maintaining his view of homage. Llywelyn the Great h
ad sought to solve the problem before his death. He had two sons, Gruffy
dd by a Welsh lady and the younger, David, by his wife Joan. Welsh l
aw at the time said that both sons should inherit - a law which had been t
he cause of so many of those disputed successions which had brought ru
in to Wales in the past. Llywelyn made a bold and successful attempt to p
ut this dangerous Welsh law aside in

Countess Isabella of Mar, 1st wife of The Bruce
Isabella was born to the tenth Earl of Mar, Lord Donald MacGylocher and He
len of Wales.  Isabella was a wealthy young woman at the time of her marri
age to Robert Bruce the Earl of Carrick.  Her lands were most of the north
eastern section of Inverness.
There is not much information about Isabella but there are certain stateme
nts written that quotes her being a very handsome lady.   Legend tells th
at he loved Isabella.  This was not a common trait in arranged marriages.
Isabella spoke Gaelic and High English.   She was an educated lady of medi
eval time.  She was married to Robert when she was 18.  The Countess so
on discovered she was with child just shortly after their marriage.
Lord Donald was one of the seven guardians of Scotland that believed th
at Robert Bruce should be the rightful King of Scotland.  He knew the adva
ntage of the two families joining in marriage and bearing an Heir to the T
hrown.  Mar was the first to sign over the estates of his family to the Br
uce.
Isabella had a healthy pregnancy but she died soon after giving birth to M
ajorie.  The year was 1296.  Robert did mourn her death for he did not rem
arry until 6 years later.  Princess Marjory carried on the legacy of the M
acGylocher's through the female lines.  These lines lead to the Royal fami
lies of Scotland and the Crown.

REFN: P3108
A member of the Capetian Dynasty, Louis VII was born in 1120, the second s
on of Louis VI of France and Adélaide of Maurienne (c. 1100–1154). Constru
ction began on Notre-Dame de Paris in Paris during his reign.
As a younger son, Louis VII had been raised to follow the ecclesiastical p
ath. He unexpectedly became the heir to the throne of France after the acc
idental death of his older brother, Philip, in 1131. A well-learned and ex
ceptionally devout man, Louis VII was better suited for life as a priest t
han that of a monarch.
In the same year he was crowned King of France, Louis VII was married on J
uly 22, 1137 to Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122 – March 31, 1204), heiress of W
illiam X of Aquitaine (1126–37). The pairing of the monkish Louis VII a
nd the high-spirited Eleanor was doomed to failure; she once reportedly de
clared that she had thought to marry a King, only to find she'd marri
ed a monk. Their daughters were:
Marie of Champagne (1145 – March 11, 1198), married Henry I of Champagne
Alix of France (1151–1197/1198), married Theobald V of Blois (1151–91).
In the first part of Louis VII's reign he was vigorous and jealous of h
is prerogatives, but after his crusade his piety limited his ability to be
come an effective statesman. His accession was marked by no disturbance
s, save the uprisings of the burgesses of Orléans and of Poitiers, who wis
hed to organize communes. But soon he came into violent conflict with Po
pe Innocent II (1130–43). The archbishopric of Bourges became vacant, a
nd the King supported as candidate the chancellor Cadurc, against the Pope
's nominee Pierre de la Chatre, swearing upon relics that so long as he li
ved Pierre should never enter Bourges. This brought the interdict upon t
he King's lands.
Louis VII became involved in a war with Theobald II of Champagne, by permi
tting Raoul I of Vermandois and seneschal of France, to repudiate his wif
e, Theobald II's niece, and to marry Petronilla of Aquitaine, sister of t
he queen of France. Champagne also sided with the Pope in the dispute ov
er Bourges. The war lasted two years (1142–44) and ended with the occupati
on of Champagne by the royal army. Louis VII was personally involved in t
he assault and burning of the town of Vitry. More than a thousand people w
ho had sought refuge in the church died in the flames. Overcome with guil
t, Louis VII declared on Christmas Day 1145 at Bourges his intention of go
ing on a crusade. Bernard of Clairvaux assured its popularity by his preac
hing at Vezelay (Easter 1146).
Meanwhile in 1144, Geoffrey the Handsome, Count of Anjou, completed his co
nquest of Normandy, threatening the royal domains. Louis VII by a clever m
anoeuvre threw his army on the Norman frontier and gained Gisors, one of t
he keys of Normandy.
In June 1147 Louis VII and his queen, Eleanor, set out from Metz, Lorrain
e, on the overland route to Syria. Just beyond Laodicea the French army w
as ambushed by Turks. The French were bombarded by arrows and heavy stone
s, the Turks swarmed down from the mountains and the massacre began. The h
istorian Odo of Deuil reported:
"During the fighting the King [Louis] lost his small and famous royal guar
d, but he remained in good heart and nimbly and courageously scaled the si
de of the mountain by gripping the tree roots ... The enemy climbed aft
er him, hoping to capture him, and the enemy in the distance continu
ed to fire arrows at him. But God willed that his cuirass should protect h
im from the arrows, and to prevent himself from being captured he defend
ed the crag with his bloody sword, cutting off many heads and hands."
Louis VII and his army finally reached the Holy Land in 1148. His queen El
eanor supported her uncle, Raymond of Antioch, and prevailed upon Lou
is to help Antioch against Aleppo. But Louis VII's interest lay in Jerusal
em, and so he slipped out of Antioch in secret. He un

REFN: P3358
Christell succeeded his father Adam, and married Maud, daughter of
Ingelram Percy, Lord Topcliff in Yorkshire. He was a very pious man,
"more given to devotion than to worldliness," says Maitland; and another
family ch ronicler tells us that he was a man who loved neither strife nor
wrong, but r ather to read and to pray. He was a considerable benefactor
of the Church, pa rticularly out of the estates in England, which he
administered during his fa ther's lifetime. His brother settled also in
that part of England in which ma ny Scoto-Normans (originally
Anglo-Normans) were large landowners, and is des cribed as "Sir John Seton
of Seton, in Yorkshire." Dugdale mentions in those northeastern parts of
England an Ivo De Seton and a "Capella De Seton," and t he villa et
territorium De Seton. Camden (Britannia) names Seton, in Northumb erland,
as part of the barony of De-la-Vall in the thirteenth century; and "S eton
Delavell," as also "Monk-Seton," is plainly marked in the superb
colle ction of maps in the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of William and John
Blaeu, publi shed at Amsterdam in 1648. These names of places are now
mostly written Seato n, but it was not so formerly; and the old feudal
barons Delaval--"of the Val e"--were originally Setons-Delaval and an
early offshoot of our ancient famil y. It was probably from one of
Chrystell De Seton's donations that Pope Innoc ent IV. confirmed (as in
Dugdale's Monasticon) at Lyons, in 1245, to the Prio r of the Monastery of
Saint James of Wartry Grangiam De Seton cum terris, pra tis, pascuis,
nemoribus, piscariis, et omnibus pertinentiis suis. He died in old age,
before 1270:
"The knight's bones are dust,
And his good sword rust ;

First Regent of Scotland.
Assumed the earldom from his brother, H ugh Douglas, who resigned and was
canon of the Cathedral Church of Glasgow.
"He was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1333, after the capture of Sir
Andrew Mu rray of Bothwell at Roxburgh Castle - an unfortunate choice, as
succeeding ev ents proved. In his attempt to relieve the castle and town
of Berwick, then b esieged by Edward III, Douglas rashly and imprudently
attacked the English ar my drawn up in a strong position at Halidon Hill
(July 22, 1333), and was def eated and killed, along with a large number
of the leading nobility of Scotla nd and several thousands of the common
soldiers. This disastrous battle for a time laid Scotland prostrate at
the feet of the English monarch. In this ext remity the struggle for the
independence of the country was maintained by a s mall band of gallant
leaders, conspicuous among them was Sir William Douglas, the Knight of
Liddesdale."

Archibald "The Tyneman", 4th Earl of Douglas, Duke of Touraine
Ca rrying on the military tradition of his fore fathers, the 4th Earl
fought aga inst King Henry IV of England at Shrewsbury. Archibald, bent on
the extermina tion of the King, hunted the field ruthlessly for the
Monarch. King Henry, fo r his own security, had dressed a number of his
noblemen in the royal attire. Three of these impostors met their fates at
the blaDe of Douglas. Douglas wa s captured and mercifully released by the
victor.
In France, Archibald displ ayed great courage in battle against the
English and was made Lieutenant-Gene ral of the King's forces by Charles
VII. His service to the French Crown earn ed him the Dukedom of Touraine
in 1424. He was killed in France at the Battle of Verneuil four months
later.
Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas (1372-1424), was a Scottish noblema
n. He was the eldest son of Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas and Jo
an Moray.
In 1400 the Earl of March and Henry 'Hotspur' Percy had laid waste to east
ern Scotland as far as Lothian. Douglas, who held the office of Lord Ward
en of the Marches, defeated them near Preston.
With the regent, Albany, he was suspected of complicity in the murde
r, in March 1402, of David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay, who was in their cus
tody at Falkland Castle, but both were officially declared guiltless by pa
rliament. In that year Douglas raided England but was wounded, losing an e
ye, at the Battle of Humbleton Hill, and was taken prisoner by the Percy
s. He fought on the siDe of his captors against the House of Lancast
er at Shrewsbury in 1403, and was taken prisoner by the English King Hen
ry IV. He became reconciled during his captivity with the earl of March, w
hose lands had been conferred on Douglas, but were now, with the excepti
on of Annandale, restored.
Douglas returned to Scotland in 1409, but was in constant communication wi
th the English court for the release of the captive King James I. In 14
12 he had visited Paris, when he entered into a personal alliance with Jo
hn the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, and in 1423 he commanded a continge
nt of 10,000 Scots sent to the aid of Charles VII against the Englis
h. He was made lieutenant-general in the French army, and received the tit
le Duke of Touraine, with remainder to his heirs-male, on 19 April 1424.
The newly created duke was defeated and slain at Verneuil in August 142
4, along with his second son, James. His persistent ill-luck earned him t
he title of the 'Tyneman', or loser.
Marriage and issue
In 1390 he married Lady Margaret Stewart of Galloway, eldest daughter of J
ohn Stewart, Earl of Carrick, who later became King Robert III. They had f
our children:
"    Archibald Douglas (1390-1439), who succeeded to the earldom.
"    Elizabeth Douglas (before 1401-1451), who married first John Stewar
t, 3rd Earl of Buchan, second Thomas Mar, son of Alexander Stewart, 1st Ea

William "le Hardi", third from his name sake William De Duglas, was a
prominent baron at the time of William Wallace. He is most notable for
being the first Lord to join Wallace in his revolt ag ainst English rule.
Ronald McNair Scott, in his book "Robert the Bruce: King of Scots",
writes about William "le Hardi's" eager alliance with Wallace,
"T he gesture of Sir William (Douglas) was typical of the man. Crusader,
warrior , egoist, he had gone his own throughout life with very little
regard for any one else. He had flouted the guardians of the interregnum
and insulted the au thority of King Edward by abducting and forcibly
marrying Eleanor De Ferrers, an English widow, while she was staying with
relatives in Scotland."
He was captured by the English and executed. He had three sons; Sir James
"The Good ", Hugh "The Dull", and Archibald, who became the first Regent
of Scotland.
" ... surnamed the 'Hardy,' from his valour and heroic deeds, fought on
the p atriotic siDe in the War of Independence. He was governor of the
Castle of Be rwick in 1296, when that town was besieged and taken, after a
resolute defenc e, by Edward I. The garrison of the castle on capitulating
were allowed to ma rch out with the honours of war; but Sir William
douglas was detained for som e time a prisoner in one of the towers of
that fortress. On regaining his lib erty he rejoined the patriotic party,
but fell once more into the hands of th e English, and died in confinement
in the Tower of York in 1302. He was the f ather, by a sister of the High
Stewart, of Sir James Douglas."

REFN: P3395
Comyn, John (Red Comyn), d. 1306, Scottish nobleman. He was called the R
ed Comyn, to distinguish him from his father, the Black Comyn. Aiding h
is uncle, John De Baliol, in the struggle against Edward I, he was for a t
ime held hostage by the English. After the rout of the Scottish troo
ps at Falkirk (1298), he was
appointed one of the guardians of the realm. He renewed the struggle wi
th Edward, but surrendered in 1304 on condition that he could retain his l
ands. He was murdered at Dumfries by Robert the Bruce (later Robert I), pr
obably because Robert feared him as a rival claimant to the throne. The na
me also appears as Cumming.
JOHN COMYN (d. 1306), called the” red Comyn,” is more famous. Like his fat
her he assisted Baliol in his rising against Edward I., and he was for so
me time a hostage in England. Having been made guardian of Scotland aft
er the battle of Falkirk in 1298 he led the resistance to the English ki
ng for about five years, and then early in 5304 made an honourable surrend
er. Comyn is chiefly known for his memorable quarrel with Robert the Bruc
e. The origin of the dispute is uncertain. Doubtless the two regarded ea
ch other as rivals ; Comyn may have refused to join in the insurrection pl
anned by Bruce. At all events the pair met at Dumfries in January 1306; du
ring a heated altercation charges of treachery were made, and Comyn was st
abbed to death either by Bru ce or by his followers. Another member of t
he Comyn family who took an active part in Scottish affairs during these t
roubled times is JoHN COMYN, earl of B uchan (d. c. 1353). This earl, a s
on of Earl Alexander, was constable of Scot land, and was first an ally a
nd then an enemy of Robert the Bruce.
The Red Comyn
John "the Red" Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, also known simply as the Red Comy
n, (died 10 February 1306) was a Scottish patriot and royal Competitor. H
is father, another John Comyn, was known as the Black Comyn. Through his a
ncestor William Comyn, son Hextilda, daughter of Ughtred of Tynedale by h
is wife Bethoc, daughter of King Donald Bane, the Red Comyn was a cognat
ic descendant of the Royal House of Scotland, the Dunkeld clan.
After the deaths of King Alexander III of Scotland in 1286 and his grandda
ughter and last uncontested heir Margaret, the Maid of Norway in 1290, twe
lve to fourteen powerful noble houses with tenuous royal claims competed f
or the throne. Foremost among these were the Balliol, the Comyn, and the B
ruce. John Balliol had the support of the Comyns, and "Red" Comyn marri
ed Balliol's sister, to cement an alliance. However, Balliol was set up on
ly to be knocked down by King Edward I of England.
In 1306, John Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, was summoned to a secret parley wi
th his chief rival, Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick. As a "guarante
e" of nonviolence, the negotiation was to be held in Greyfriars Chur
ch in Dumfries. Comyn did not survive this meeting, as Bruce stabbed hi
m. Tradition has it that the wounded Comyn was then "finished off" by a co
mpanion of Bruce, Sir Roger De Kirkpatrick, with the words "I mak sikka
r" (I make sure). This has remained the Kirkpatrick family motto to this d
ay, with its crest being a bloodied hand holding a dagger.
The action resulted in Pope Clement V excommunicating the Bruce, temporari
ly damaging his chances of attaining the throne. However, He was crowned k
ing six weeks later.
The Scottish clan descended from the Comyns is now known as Cumming.
1306 - Murder Of The 'Red Comyn'
In 1304, John Comyn II, known as the Red Comyn after his grandfather, mov
ed his allegiance over to England’s Edward I and sat on his ‘Scottish Coun
cil’.
When Robert the Bruce set his plans to resume the War of Independence in 1
306, he and Comyn met together in southerly Dumfries at the isolated Franc
iscan priory Church of the Minorite Friars. Eit

Odo, the son of Herluin of Conteville and Herleva of Falaise, was born in
abo ut 1036. Herleva was also the mother of William of Normandy, Richard
Fitz Gil bert and Robert of Mortain.
In 1049 William of Normandy appointed Odo bishop o f Bayeux and over the
next few years organized the rebuilding of Bayeux Cathe dral.
When William decided to invaDe England in 1066, he invited his three
h alf-brothers, Odo, Richard Fitz Gilbert and Robert of Mortain to join
him. On e Norman chronicler claims that Odo of Bayeux contributed 100
ships to Willia m's invasion fleet.
He fought at the Battle of Hastings and afterwards was giv en the title of
Earl of Kent and the castle at Dover. After his coronation in 1066,
William the Conqueror claimed that all the land in England now belonge d
to him. William retained about a fifth of this land for his own use. The
rest was distributed to those men who had helped him defeat Harold. Odo
was g ranted manors in thirteen counties which gave him an income of over
£3,000 pe r year, making him the richest tenant-in-chief in the kingdom.
In 1067 William the Conqueror appointed Odo as regent while he spent time
in Normandy. For t he next fifteen years Odo he was second in power to
William in England. It is believed that Odo commissioned the Bayeux
Tapestry.
William was in Normandy in 1073 and Odo of Bayeux had the task of dealing
with the rebellion led by Waltheof and Ralph, Earl of Norfolk. On his
return in 1076, Waltheof was exec uted - the only time capital punishment
was inflicted on an English leader du ring his reign. However, the Earl of
Norfolk managed to escape to Brittany.
In 1082 William heard complaints about Odo's rule. He returned to England
and Odo was arrested and charged with misgovernment and oppression. Found
guilty he was kept in prison until Robert of Mortain achieved his release
on the De ath of William the Conqueror in 1087.
Robert Curthose, William's eldest son, w as expected to become king of
England when his father died. However, William preferred William Rufus,
who, unlike Robert, had remained loyal to his father . William Rufus
became king of England in 1087 and the following year, Odo, G eoffrey of
Coutances, Robert of Mortain and Richard Fitz Gilbert led a rebell ion
against his rule. Many Normans remained loyal and William defeated the
rebels when he captured Tonbridge Castle.
Odo was forced to flee to Normandy. He now became an adviser to Robert
Curthose, the Duke of Normandy. Odo was pr esent at the council of
Clermont in November 1095, when Pope Urban II proclai med the First
Crusade. In September 1096 Odo accompanied Robert, Duke of Norm andy, on
the crusade. Odo of Bayeux died in Palmero in February, 1097, while
visiting his friend, Roger, Count of Sicily. Odo of Bayeux is buried in
the cathedral on Sicily.

Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury (d. 1098) was an Anglo-Norman a
ristocrat.
He was the second surviving son of Roger of Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrews
bury and Mabel of Bellême. As was typical of the first post-conquest gener
ation, he inherited most of his father's English possessions while his old
er brother Robert of Bellême, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury inherited the Contine
ntal possessions.
During his four years as earl, he spent most of his time in the Welsh Marc
hes fighting against the Welsh. In 1098, he joined forces with Hugh d'Avra
nches, 1st Earl of Chester in an attempt to recover Anglesey, which was lo
st by Hugh of Chester in the Welsh revolt of 1094. He was killed there whi
le fighting off a raid by King Magnus Barefoot of Norway at the eastern e
nd of the Menai Straits, shot dead by an arrow said to have been fir
ed by Magnus himself.
Hugh was never married, and while it is likely he intended his younger bro
ther Arnulf of Montgomery to be his heir, his properties were inherit
ed by the elder brother Robert.

Brian Boru
Born in 940 AD,
Brian Boru was one of Ireland's greatest leaders who is credited with dire
cting Ireland's future - for both good and bad. Brian Boru (Brian mac Cenn
etig or Brian Boroimhe in Gaelic) was born in Munster, Ireland. A memb
er of the Dal Cais (Del cassians) tribe, he was the brother of Mahon, w
ho became King of Munster foll owing the death of their father, Cenn-ti
g. At this point in Ireland's history, Viking invaders (or Norsemen) h
ad a stranglehold on the island, while the native Irish either sided wi
th the Norse out of fear or belonged to small kingdoms that fought among t
hemselves. Mahon desired peace with the Vikings and attempted to attain i
t, but his younger brother Brian shared no such desire. In fact, after hav
ing witnessed the death of his mother and much of the Dal Cais tri
be in a Norse raid while he was a child, Brian was a proponent of war fa
re with Vikings.
When he was old enough, Boru broke away from his brother to wage guerril
la warfare on the Norse. A skilled tactician, he won many decisive victori
es that instilled fear in the enemy as well as their Irish allies. His att
acks also helped to fuel rumours that there was a large, secret Dal cassi
an army. Boru's campaign gained much popular support and many Irishmen joi
ned his cause, including his Brother Mahon, who renounced his truce with t
he Vikings. The combined forces were able to drive most of the Norse fr
om Southern Ireland, including their leader Ivar (also known as Imar). Eag
er for revenge, Ivar returned ten years later, capturing and killing Maho
n. Brian succeeded his brother to the throne of Munster, bringing with h
im a re-fueled hat red of the enemy Norsemen. Soon after, his forces met w
ith those of Ivar and Brian challenged him to personal combat. Ivar was ki
lled and the Viking influence in Southern Ireland was struckanother blow.
Boru's influence continued to grow throughout Southern Ireland and he beca
me known for rebuilding many of the churches and other monuments that h
ad been destroyed by the Norse. In North Ireland, Malachy the Second follo
wed Boru's lead when his forces defeated a Norse army to take Dublin in 9
80 and Malachy became King of Meath. The two kings met in 998 and agre
ed to divide Ireland between them, with Boru recieving the South and Malac
hy the North. Boru, however, had too much support - even in Northern Irela
nd - and Malachy eventually ended up allowing Boru to peacefully take ov
er his lands. Boru was granted the title "Ard Ri", meaning " High King". T
his made him one of the first - and last - kings to effectively unite Irel
and under one monarch. The rivals to Brian Boru's rule were numerous, howe
ver, both among the native Irish and the remaining Norse. In 1013, Maelmor
dha, King of Leinster, revolted and allied with the Vikings. They summon

ufmarche-en-Lions, governor of the boy duke, William, and was treacherous
ly assassinated between 1035 and 1040 by hirelings of Raoul De Gace.
Turquetil was the second son of Torf, the son of Bernard the Dane, which l
atter was governor and regent of Normandy in 912, from whom descended t
he sires De Beaumont, comtes De Meulent, the barons of Cacelles and Saint-
Pare, the lords of Gournay and Milly, the barons of Neubourg, the vicomt
es of Evereux, the Earls of Leicester, and many other noble French and Eng
lish houses.
Turquetil married Anceline, sister of Toustain, seigneur De Montfort-sur-R
isle, and had issue: Anchetil, and Walter De Lescelina who married Beatric
e, abbess of Montivilliers, natural daughter of Robert I., Duke of Normand
y, as well as Leceline De Turqueville, the wife of William, comte d'Exm
es (later(d'Eu), an illegitimate son on the same duke.
Anchetil was the first to assume the name of Harcourt from the bourg of Ha
rcourt, near Brionne, and married Eve De Boessey-le-Chapel, by whom he h
ad seven sons and one daughter. The eldest was Errand, who predeceased h
is father, and was succeeded by Robert as head of the house. Jean, Arnou

BertraDe De Montfort (c.1070-1117) was the daughter of Simon I De Montfo
rt and Agnes, Countess of Evreux. Her brother was Amaury III De Montfort.
The oft-married Count Fulk IV of Anjou was married to the mother of his s
on in 1089, when the lovely BertraDe caught his eye. According to the chro
nicler John of Marmoutier:
"The lecherous Fulk then fell passionately in love with the sister of Amau
ry of Montfort, whom no good man ever praised save for her beauty. For h
er sake, he divorced the mother of Geoffrey II Martel..."
BertraDe and Fulk were married, and they became the parents of a son, Ful
k, but in 1092 BertraDe left her husband and took up with King Philippe. P
hilippe married her on May 15, 1092, despite the fact that they both had s
pouses living. He was so enamoured of BertraDe that he refused to leave h
er even when threatened with excommunication. Pope Urban II did excommunic
ate him in 1095, and Philippe was prevented from taking part in the Fir
st Crusade. Astonishingly, BertraDe persuaded Philippe and Fulk to be frie
nds.
BertraDe and Philippe had three children together:
Philippe De France, Count of Mantes (living in 1123)
Fleury De France, seigneur of Nangis (living in 1118)
Cécile (died 1145), married (1) Tancred, Prince of Galilee; married (2) Po
ns of Tripoli
According to Orderic Vitalis, BertraDe was anxious that one of her sons su
cceed Philippe, and sent a letter to King Henry I of England asking h
im to arrest her stepson Louis. Orderic also claims she sought to kill Lou
is first through the arts of sorcery, and then through poison. Whatever t
he truth of these allegations, Louis succeeded Philippe in 1108. Bertra
De lived on until 1117; William of Malmesbury says: "Bertrade, still you
ng and beautiful, took the veil at Fontevraud Abbey, always charming to me
n, pleasing to God, and like an angel." Her son from her first marriage w
as Fulk V of Anjou who later became King of Jerusalem. The dynasties found
ed by Fulk's sons ruled for centuries, one of them in England (Plantagenet
), the other in Jerusalem.

Louis VI the Fat (French: Louis VI le Gros) (December 1, 1081 – Augu
st 1, 1137) was King of France from 1108 to 1137. A member of the Capeti
an Dynasty, Louis was born in Paris, the son of Philip I and his first wif
e, Bertha of Holland. Almost all of his 29-year reign was spent fighting e
ither the "robber barons" who plagued Paris or the Norman kings of Engla
nd for their continental possession of Normandy. Nonetheless, Louis VI man
aged to reinforce his power considerably and endeared himself to the worki
ng classes of France. He is one of the first strong kings of France sin
ce the division of the Carolingian Empire.
In his youth, Louis fought the duke of Normandy, Robert Curthose, and t
he lords of the royal demesne, the Île de France. He became close to Suge
r, who became his adviser. He succeeded his father on his death on July 2
9, 1108. Louis's half-brother prevented him from reaching Rheims a
nd so he was crowned on August 3 in the cathedral of Orléans. The archbish
op of Rheims, Ralph the Green, sent envoys to challenge the validity of t
he coronation and anointing, but to no avail.
On Palm Sunday 1115, Louis was present in Amiens to support the bishop a
nd inhabitants of the city in their conflict with Enguerrand I of Coucy, o
ne of his vassals, who refused to recognize the granting of a charter of c
ommunal privileges. Louis came with an army to help the citizens to besie
ge Castillon (the fortress dominating the city, from which Enguerrand w
as making punitive expeditions). At the siege, the king took an arrow to h
is hauberk, but the castle, considered impregnable, fell after two years.
Louis VI died on August 1, 1137 at the castle of Béthisy-Saint-Pierre, nea
rby Senlis and Compiègne, of dysentery caused by his excesses, which had m
ade him obese. He was interred in Saint Denis Basilica. He was succeed
ed on the throne by his son Louis VII, called "the Younger," who had origi
nally wanted to be a monk.
He married in 1104: 1) Lucienne de Rochefort — the marriage was annulled.
Their child:
1) Isabelle (c.1105-before 1175), married (abt.1119) William of Vermandoi
s, seigneur of Chaumont
He married in 1115: 2) Adélaide de Maurienne (c.1100–54)
Their children:

Burke's Peerage indicates that Ralph was son of Aubrey by his 3rd wife
Agnes of Essex, although it gives very little information on Ralph other
than his n ame, BP does identifiy him as 2nd son by the 3rd wife, older
than Robert, who became the 3rd Earl of Oxford, but younger than Aubrey
2nd Earl of Oxford (e ldest son by the 3rd wife, dsp. legit by Oct 1214).
BP indicates that Ralph d ied before his brother (dvf.) and that was the
reason that he didn't inherit the title of Earl of Oxford. However,
according to my pedigree, Ralph had leg itimate issue and his son would
therefore have inherited the title. I believe that Ralph was actually the
eldest son by the 1st wife, and the reasons for Ralph not getting the
title were: 1. The 1st wife was divorced, "bastardizing " Ralph. 2. Ralph
had political differences with his father, and was "disinhe rited". An
earlier birth by the 1st wife would make more sense according to e vents
which occured in Scotland (ie. Ralph was taken prisoner & witnessed a
charter in 1174. He could not have been old enough if he was son of a
1162/6 3 marriage). Ralph could easily have been the eldest son,
bastardized by his parents divorce in 1146, at odds with his father, and
therefore seeking his f ortune along with David I in Scotland.

The name Weir, like man y lowland Scottish names, is of Norman origin from
one or several of the plac es named Vere around the Calvados region of
France. The word was introduced i nto Normandy by the Norsemen from their
own word "ver" meaning a station. It appears that Ralph or Radulphus de
Ver is the first of the name recorded in S cotland. He was taken prisoner
along with Richard the Lion in 1174; he later witnessed a charter by King
William I sometime between 1174 and 1184. During the same period he
gifted a bovate of land in Sprouston, Roxburgh to the Abbe y of Kelso; his
brother, Robert De Ver, was a witness to this charter. The We irs of
Blackwood, Lanarkshire, claim their descent from this Ralph De Ver,
although this cannot be proven as their name does not appear on record
until 1400 when they acquired their lands.
Thanks to James Pringle Weavers for the f ollowing information
WEIR: This name, now fairly common throughout Lowland Sco tland, is
usually derived from 'Vere', a name said to be of Norse origin, and to
have come from France about the time of the Norman invasion of England in
1066. Many Normans who came with the Conqueror later re-settled in
Scotlan d from the reign of David I (1124-53), and what is believed to be
the first i nstance of the name here identifies a Ralph De Vere, captured
at Alnwick with William the Lion in 1174. Ralph has been promoted as the
ancestor of the Wei rs (Veres) of Blackwood in Lanarkshire, even though
this family do not appear on record until 1400, when they first obtained
possession of these lands

The quote from James Pringle Weaver is nearly verbatim from one of those
old books influenced by detractors of the Weir-De Veres. The charter of
Blackwood is dated 1400, but that was only a confirmati on of the lease
from the abbey. The Veres were vassals of Kelso Abbey (to whi ch Blackwood
belonged) more than 100 years earlier, since Walter De Vere. The re is no
record of anyone else owning Blackwood besides Kelso Abbey and the
Veres/Weirs since the 1100s.

REFN: P3593
Roger De Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester (1195? - April 25, 1265) was an En
glish nobleman, and hereditary Constable of Scotland.
He was the second son of Saer De Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, and Marga
ret De Beaumont.
He probably joined his father on the Fifth CrusaDe in 1219, where the eld
er De Quincy fell sick and died. His elder brother having died a few yea
rs earlier, Roger thus inherited his father's titles and properties. Howev
er, he did not take possession of his father's lands until February 122
1, probably because he did not return to England from the crusaDe until th
en. He did not formally become earl until after the death of his moth
er in 1235.
Roger married Helen, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Alan of Galloway a
nd Margaret of Huntingdon. After the latter's death in 1234, Galloway w
as divided between the husbands of Alan's three daughters, each receivi
ng a third. The Galwegians rebelled, not wanting their land divided, but t
he rebellion was suppressed by Alexander II of Scotland. Roger ruled his p
ortion of Galloway strictly, and the Galwegians revolted again in 1247, fo
rcing Roger to hole up in a castle. Faced with a siege and little chan
ce of relief, Roger and a few men fought their way out and roDe off to se
ek help from Alexander, who raised forces to again suppress the rebellion.
In the following years Roger was one of the leaders of the baronial opposi
tion to Henry III of England, although he fought for Henry against the Wel
sh in the 1250s and 1260s.
Following Helen's death in 1245, Roger married Maud De Bohun, daught
er of Humphrey De Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, around 1250. Maud died on
ly two years later, and Roger married his third wife, Eleanor Ferrers, dau
ghter of William De Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby the same year.
Roger had three daughters by his first wife, but no sons. His subsequent m
arriages produced no issue. After his death his estates were divided betwe
en the daughters, and the earldom of Winchester lapsed. The three daughte
rs of Roger and Helen of Galloway were:
1.   Helen (also known as Ela or Elena), who married Alan Baron Zouc
he of Ashby;
2.   Elizabeth (also known as Isabella), who married Alexander Comyn, 2
nd Earl of Buchan;
3.   Margaret, who married William De Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby (and w
as thus stepmother to her own stepmother).

Constable of Scotland
He was the second son of Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, and Marga
ret de Beaumont. He probably joined his father on the Fifth Crusade in 121
9, where the elder de Quincy fell sick and died. His elder brother havi
ng died a few years earlier, Roger thus inherited his father's titles a
nd properties. However, he did not take possession of his father's lands u
ntil February 1221, probably because he did not return to England from t
he crusade until then. He did not formally become earl until after the dea
th of his mother in 1235. Roger married Helen, eldest daughter and co-heir
ess of Alan, Lord of Galloway. After the latter's death in 1234, Gallow
ay was partioned, with Roger and the husbands of his wife's 2 sisters ea
ch receiving a third. The Gallwegans rebelled, not wanting their land divi
ded. The rebellion was suppressed by Alexander II of Scotland. Roger rul
ed his portion of Galloway quite strictly, and the Gallwegans revolted aga
in in 1247, forcing Roger to hole up in a castle. Faced with a siege and l
ittle chance of relief, Roger and a few men fought their way out and ro
de off to seek help from the king, who raised forces to again suppress t

Hugh De Baliol succeeded Eustace (the elder) as head of the family . He
was certified by the Crown to hold the barony of Biwell (paying five
k nights' fees). He also was required to find 30 soldiers for the guard of
Newc astle-upon-Tyne, as his ancestors had done since the time of William
Rufus. A lso, as a gift from Henry II, Hugh was made lord of Hiche in
Essex. Later, fr om King John, he obtained the lands of Richard
Unfronville and of Robert De M eisnell in County York -- this for his
support of the king in the baronial wa r. In 1216, De Baliol joined with
Philip De Hulcotes in defense of the northe rn border with Scotland. When
the Scottish king subjugated the whole of North umberland for Lewis of
France, De Baliol and De Hulcotes firmly held all the fortresses on the
line of the Tees. Barnard Castle was particularly notable i n this defense
(3). Hugh received King John at Barnard Castle at this time, a nd for a
short while was besieged there by Alexander II of Scotland who wishe d to
"espie whether it was assailable at any side." The castle at that time
was apparently too strong to afford an easy conquest (2).
Hugh De Baliol was also described by Dugdale as having "benefitted
himself not a little in the t roublesome times of King John and, even at
the great entrance of Henry III, c ould not forbear his wonted course of
plundering."(2) Hugh was married to Cec ily De la Fontaine. Some time
around 1228, he was succeeded by his son John w ho, having been born at
Barnard castle about 1216, would have been a meer ado lescent at the time.

John Baliol - King of Scotland
A. How he acquired the throne
Ale xander III was consecrated as the ruling monarch of Scotland with much
pomp a nd ceremony in 1249. It was said his line could be traced unbroken
back to Ki ng Fergus, around 500 A.D. Fergus' father had come from
Ireland, and Scottish tales claimed that these Irish were descended from
the Greeks (by migration through Spain). Alexander's first wife,
Margaret, sister of Edward I of Engla nd, died in February 1275. In
October 1285, Alexander married Joleta (YolanDe ), daughter of the Comte
De Dreux. Of Alexander's children, the younger son, David, died in 1281
when he was eight years old. The elder son, Alexander, di ed in 1284 at
the age of twenty. The king's daughter, Margaret, married Eric II of
Norway, and their daughter became know as Margaret, "the Maid of Norway ".
In February 1284, a week after the death of his eldest son, Alexander III
called an assembly of the magnates of the realm together at Scone. The
lord s acknowledged the "Maid" as heir to the kingdom of Scotland should
the king have no other issue.
On the night of March 12, 1286, Alexander was riding from Edinburgh to
Kinghorn to join his new wife when he got separated from his gu ides. In a
heavy mist his horse stumbled on a hill of loose basalt trap; Alex ander
was thrown, and his neck broken.
Six guardians were appointed to admin ister the realm in the name of
Margaret, who was then about three years old. Robert Bruce (the elder)
did not accept the authority of the guardianship and , with his son, the
Earl of Carrick, made some show of force in a claim to th e throne. In
September, 1286, Bruce's adherents entered into a bond of mutual defense
and assistance at Turnberry, in support of the man "who in accordanc e
with hereditary rights and ancient usages ought to occupy the throne."
In May of 1289, Eric II of Norway sent ambassadors to Edward I to discuss
the po sition of the Maid Margaret as queen of Scotland. The Scottish
guardians were also invited to join the discussions which concluded with
the treaty of Sali sbury. Under this treaty, the Norwegians promised to
send Margaret to England before 1 November 1290, "free and quit of all
contract of marriage." Edward in turn promised that, if Margaret came to
England, and if Scotland remained peaceful, he would send her north also
"free and quit of all contract of marr iage." The Scottish representatives
promised to establish quietness in the la nd before Margaret came there;
and further promised not to contract her in ma rriage without the
"ordinance, will, and counsel of Edward", and save with th e assent of the
King of Norway, her father.
Unknown to the Scots, Edward had already sent messengers to Pope Nicholas
IV applying for the dispensation fo r the marriage of Margaret to his son,
Edward (later Edward II), since they w ere within the forbidden degrees of
the canon law (cousins once removed). The dispensation was granted ten
days after the conclusion of the treaty, and th e Scots, when they heard
of it, agreed wholeheartedly to the proposed marriag e. A letter sent from
Bingham in March 1290 from the four surviving guardians , eight bishops,
twelve earls, twenty-three abbots, eleven priors, and forty- eight barons,
spoke of the joyous news of the dispensation and cordially agre ed to the
marriage. Another letter urged Eric to send his daughter to England .
In July of 1291, a new treaty, the Treaty of Bingham, was signed between
S cotland and England. This "marriage" treaty set forth that the "rights,
laws, liberties, and customs of Scotland were for all time to be "wholly
and invio lably preserved." The Kingdom of Scotland was to remain
"separate and divided from the kingdom of England", and to be "free in
itself and without subjecti on." Should Edward or Margaret fail to have
heirs, Scotland was to return to the nearest heirs, and the King of
England woul

Alias:<ALIA> William /De Duglas/
REFN: P3605
The first recorded use of the Do uglas surname was by William De Duglas,
who signed numerous official charters between 1175 and 1213. William, who
died in 1214, was the father to six sons and a daughter. Along with
Archibald De Douglas, heir to the Douglas estates , there were Brice
(Bishop of Moray), Alexander (Canon of Spynie and Vicar of Elgin), Henry
(Canon of Spynie and Clerk of Bishop), Hugh (Archdeacon of Mor ay),
Freskin (Dean of Moray), and Margaret.
Previous possible Douglas histor y:
A sixteenth century legend tells of a knight who, in 767 a.d., was
grante d the Clydesdale lands in return for service to the Scottish King
Solvathius. Whether this legend has any basis in fact may never be known,
but it does se em apparent that Douglases lived in that area for some time
prior to the firs t recorded use of the name.
Although William De Douglas was the first known ow ner of Douglasdale,
holding that land between 1174 and 1213, there is no reas on to doubt that
his father was Theobaldo Flamatico or Theobald the Fleming. The family's
arms indicate the kinship with Murray and a descent like that of Brodie
and Innes, from a third son of the house of Boulogne. In Flanders the re
was a family of the Theobalds who were hereditary castellans of Ypres
be tween about 1060 and 1127, after which their history becomes obscure.
Theobal d's lands in Scotland were granted to him soon after 1150 by the
Abbot of Kel so. William De Douglas, the heir, having married the sister
of Friskin De Ker dale or Freskin of Moray, had by her six sons; the five
younger of them all w ent to Moray to support their uncle there and his
own heir, Archenbald, staye d in Lanarkshire to inherit the Douglas
estates. He married a daughter of Sir John Crawford.

imply, Hugh lacked the mental facul ties needed to manage the Douglas
possessions. For this reason, he renounced his rights. Hugh had no heir,
and his younger brother, Archibald, the first R egent of Scotland, had
also been killed at Halidon. The honors passed to the Regent's son,

James, 2nd Earl of Douglas
The 2nd Earl was born in 1358 and succ eeded his father at a time of much
border warfare between Scotland and Englan d. Due to the old age of King
Robert II, the Douglases were left in charge of the defense of the
kingdom. They literally became "the shield of Scotland". In 1388 the 2nd
Earl led a plundering sweep into England in retaliation for t he
devastation caused by King Richard's army three years earlier. While on
this raid, Douglas met and defeated the renown English knight Henry
"Hotspur" Percy in personal combat. In triumph he carried off Percy's
pennon.
In an e ffort to regain his pennon, and his honor, Percy pursued and
engaged Douglas at the Battle of Otterburn. Douglas, although mortally
wounded in the battle, directed his captains to carry his standard, sound
his battle cry and rally his troops. Even in death, he carried the field.
James left one illegitimate son, William, 1st Lord of Drumlanrig, who was
the sire of the Queensberry cad et branch. As no legitimate heir was left,
the earldom passed to the "base bo rn" son of Sir James "The Good".

It fell about the Lammas tide,
When the muir-men win their hay,
The doughty Douglas bound him to ride
Into England, to drive a prey.
He chose the Gordons and the Graemes,
With them the Lindesays, light and gay;
But the Jardines wald not with him ri de,
And they rue it to this day.
And he has burned the dales of Tyne,
And pa rt of Bambrough shire,
And three good towers on Reidswire fells,
He left them all on fire.
And he marched up to Newcastle,
And roDe it round about:
"O wh a's the lord of this castle?
Or wha's the lady o't?"
But up spake proud Lord Percy then,
And O but he spake hie!
I am the lord of this castle,
My wife's the lady gay.
"If thou'rt the lord of this castle,
Sae weel it pleases me,
F or, ere I cross the Border fells,
The tane of us shall die."
He took a lang s pear in his hand,
Shod with the metal free,
And for to meet the Douglas there
He roDe right furiouslie.
But O how pale his lady looked,
Frae aff the cast le-wa,
When down before the Scottish spear
She saw proud Percy fa.
"Had we t wa been upon the green,
And never an eye to see,
I wad hae had you, flesh and fell;
But your sword sall gae wi me."
The Otterbourne's a bonnie burn;
'Tis pleasant there to be;
But there is nought at Otterbourne
To feed my men and me.
"The deer rins wild on hill and dale,
The birds fly wild frae tree to tre e;
But there is neither bread nor kale
To fend my men and me."
"Yet I will s tay at Otterbourne,
Where you shall welcome be;
And, if ye come not at three dayis end,
A fause lord I'll ca thee."
"Thither will I come," proud Percy sai d,
"By the might of Our Ladye;"
"There will I biDe thee." said the Douglas,
"My troth I plight to thee."
They lighted high on Otterbourne,
Upon the bent sae brown;
They lighted high on Otterbourne,
And threw their pallions down.
And he that had a bonnie boy
Sent out his horse to grass;
And he that had not a bonnie boy
His ain servant he was.
But up then spake a little page,
Befor e the peep of dawn:
"O waken ye, waken ye, my good lord,
For Percy's hard at hand."
"Ye lie, ye lie, ye liar loud!
Sae loud I hear ye lie:
For Percy had not men yestreen
To dight my men and me."
"But I have dreamed a dreary dream,
Beyond the Isle of Skye;
I saw a dead man win a fight,
And I think that man was I."
He belted on his guid braid sword,
And to the field he ran,
But he forgot the helmet good,
That should have kept his brain.
When Percy with the Douglas met,
I wat he was fu fain;
They swakked their swords, till sair they swat
And the blood ran down

responsible for the death of his kinsman Sir William Doug las, the famed
"Knight of Liddesdale", from the Morton line of Douglases. Wil liam was a
participant in a rebellion against King David II in 1363, but stil l
managed to earn an appointment as Justiciar of Scotland under Robert II
i n 1371. An affair with his first cousin, Margaret Stewart, Countess of
Mar an d Angus, resulted in a son, George, who became the 1st Earl of
Angus, foundin g the Red Douglas branch of the family. William died in
1384, leaving his tit les and possessions to his son James.

Though he is often shown as having married Margaret of M ar, daughter of
Donald of Mar, that is questionable. He had illegitimate chil dren with
Margaret Stewart, whose father was Earl of Mar, but she was Countes s of
Angus (having inherited this title from her brother). Widely varying
d ates of birth for the legitimate children make it possible that he was,
in fa ct, married twice.
" ... son of the Regent who fell at Halidon Hill, and nephe w of the 'Good
Sir James,' returned from France, where he had been bred to ar ms, soon
after the battle of Neville's Cross and the captivity of the Scottis h
king, and, with the hereditary valour and energy of his house, succeeded
in expelling the English from Douglasdale, and in the course of time from
Ett rick Forest, Tweeddale, and Teviotdale. He was created Earl of Douglas
by Kin g David in 1357. He faithfully supported the cause of national
independence, and even went so far as to unite with the Steward and the
Earl of March in a formal bond to compel David to change his counsellors
and to give up his intr igues for altering the succession to the crown in
favour of one of the sons o f the English king. He made a pilgramage to
the shrine of St. Thomas-a-Becket in the year 1363; but, unlike some
others of the great Scottish barons, who made such pilgramages a pretext
for treasonable intrigues with the English Go vernment, Douglas continued
steadfast in his adherence of his country's cause , and resolutely opposed
the atempts of the unworthy son of Robert Bruce to b etray it to the
enemy. On the accession of Robert II, the son of the Steward and Marjory
Bruce, the Earl of Douglas unexpectedly put forth pretensions to the
crown, but abandoned them on finding that they were not likely to meet
with public support. As a reward for the promptituDe of his submission,
the K ing's eldest daughter was promised in marriage to his eldest son,
and the Ear l himself was appointed Justicular of Scotland south of the
Forth, and Warden of the East Marches. This great noble, one of the best
of his race, died in 1384 at an advance age. He was succeeded by his
eldest son by his wife the Co untess of Mar."

Born in 1390, Archibald earned dis tinction as Guardian of the Realm
during the minority of James II. At the tim e of his passing the
possessions of Douglas were immense. They included the L ordship of
Galloway, which included the Earldom of Wigtown and the area which is now
the county of Kirkcudbright. He possessed Annandale, Ettrick Forest,
Jedburgh, Lauderdale, Eskdale, Teviotdale and estates which covered a
vast area and stretched across the border. He also possessed the Dukedom
of Tourai ne in France. These holdings were enough to make the Earl the
greatest magnat e in the realm. The victim of an outbreak of the plague,
Archibald died in 14 39.

He fought with the French at Baugé in 1421, and was made count of Longuevi

~1445 - <1514 Archibald Douglas 69 69 REFN: 3626AN
Alias:<ALIA> Bell the /Cat/
REFN: P3627
Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus (1449 - November 19, 1513), the famo
us "Bell the Cat," was born about 1449 and succeeded his father, George t
he 4th earl, in 1462 or 1463.
In 1481 he was made warden of the east marches, but the next year he join
ed the league against James III and his favourite Robert Cochrane at Laude
r, where he earned his nickname by offering to bell the cat, i.e. to de
al with the latter, beginning the attack upon him by pulling his gold cha
in off his neck and causing him with others of the king's favourit
es to be hanged.
Subsequently he joined Alexander Stewart, 1st Duke of Albany, in league wi
th Edward IV of England on the 11 February 1483, signing the conventi
on at Westminster which acknowledged the overlordship of the English kin
g. In March however they returned, outwardly at least, to their allegianc
e, and received pardons for their treason.
Later Angus was one of the leaders in the rebellion against James in 14
87 and 1488, which ended in the latter's death.
He was made one of the guardians of the young king James IV. but soon lo
st influence, being superseded by the Homes and Hepburns, and the wardensh
ip of the marches was given to Alexander Home. Though outwardly on good te
rms with James, he treacherously made a treaty with Henry VII. about 14
89 or 1491, by which he undertook to govern his relations with James accor
ding to instructions from England, and to hand over Hermitage Castle, comm
anding the pass through Liddesdale into Scotland, on the condition of rece
iving English estates in compensation.
In October 1491 he fortified his castle of Tantallon against James, but w
as obliged to submit and exchange his Liddesdale estate and Hermitage Cast
le for the lordship of Bothwell.
In 1493 he was again in favour, received various grants of lands, and w
as made chancellor, which office he retained till 1498. In 1501 he was on
ce more in disgrace and confined to Dumbarton Castle. After the disast
er at Flodden Fields in 1513, at which he was not present, but at whi
ch he lost his two eldest sons, Angus was appointed one of the counsello
rs of the queen regent. He died at the close of this year, or in 1514.
He was married three times, firstly on 4 March 1467 to Elizabeth Boyd, dau
ghter of the first Lord Boyd. Secondly, about 1498 he married Janet Kenned
y, daughter of the second Lord Kennedy. And thirdly in 1500, he married Ka
therine Stirling.
DOUGLAS, ARCHIBALD, surnamed BELL-THE-CAT, was the son of George, fifth Ea
rl of Angus. The elder branch of the noble house of Douglas, that was repr
esented by the holders of the earldom of that name, and the dukedom of Tou
raine in France, had become so powerful, and so dangerous to the royal fam
ily, that the Stuarts had tried by every plan, both of violence and polic
y, to lessen its influence and circumscribe its power. One method which th
ey adopted was, to exalt the house of Angus, a younger branch of the famil
y. But this only superseded one evil by another, and the Earls of Angus so
on threatened to become as formidable to royal authority as the Earls of D
ouglas had formerly been. Archibald, who succeeded to the earldom of Ang
us when only six or seven years old, was born to an inheritance which h
is father had greatly enlarged, so that when the young minor attained to m
anhood, he was by far the most powerful nobleman in Scotland, and he was c
ommonly called the "Great Earl of Angus." He married, in 1468, Elizabeth B
oyd, daughter of Robert, Lord Boyd, the all-powerful and afterwards disgra
ced minister of James III., by whom he had four sons and three daughters.
During the earlier part of the reign of James III., little of Angus is kno
wn, except that he was distinguished for stature, strength, and courage, l
ike most of his race, as well as for great possessions and political influ
ence. It was probably during this reign th

BORTHWICK CASTLE
Just over a mil e and a half south-east of Gorebridge, Midlothian.
Borthwick castle is one of the most impressive tower houses in Scotland
and at a height of 110 feet it i s the tallest.
Complete and largely unaltered during its 580 years, it was bui lt by Sir
James Borthwick (later Lord Borthwick) in 1420, on the site of an e arlier
motte castle known as Lochorwart, granted to him by James I. It is
U -shaped in plan and has walls up to 14 feet thick at lower levels. (Note
Jame s, 1st Lord Borthwick was son of William & Miss Hay)
[Note the first Lord Bort hwick was William-not James, and another site
states it was built by William in 1430]
Borthwick Castle is one of the most important historic buildings in
Scotland. It is a twin towered baronial keep, built by the first Lord
Borthw ick (conflicting sources say that is was built by Sir James
Borthwick,later L ord Borthwick, in 1420, or by Sir William Borthwick in
1430. Further research is required but I think it was probably built by
Sir William, who later beca me the first Lord Borthwick.)
One history says that the castle was built on th e site of an earlier
motte castle known as Lochorwart, granted to Lord Borthw ick by James I.
Another states that in about 1378 the Borthwicks acquired the Lothian
lands of Catcune, but before long they won from the Hays the much ri cher
property of Locherworth and there built about 1430 the majestic Borthwic k
Castle. Whether the "winning" of the land from the Hays was through James
I taking it from them and granting it to the Borthwicks I know not at
this s tage!

From The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to NE, 1620-1633.
"William Redfyn/Redfin was probably one of the early emigrants from Engla
nd to the Colony of Mass. He was a man of moderate means, perhaps mast
er of some mechanical handicraft, and we may reasonable suppose him to ha
ve been on that large body of England's Yeomanry, who, actuated by the com
bined motive of dread of the increasing encroachments of kingly and eccles
iastical power, doubt the issue of the fearful struggle then approachin
g, and the hope that bettering their worldly condition, left the Old Engla
nd for the New, during the decaDe of years which followed 1630. The ye
ar of his arrival is as early as 1639, and perhaps earlier, he occupi
ed a house and four acres of land on the south siDe of the Charles Rive
r, about six miles from Boston. He was one of the first settlers on that s
iDe of the river. The location can be readily identified, and is not far f
rom the foot of Nonantum Hill. His house and land were confirmed to h
im on the Records of the Proprietors of Cambridge in 1642, and the same re
cords show that in Sept 1646, he sold his place to Edwar Jackson. Hensefor
th his name disappears from Mass. He settled in New London, Conn. in 16
53 or sooner. The family name changed to Redfield in the next generation.
William died in April or May, 1662. It is not known how long Rebecca survi
ved him. IN June 1663, she applied to the town for a grant of a certain pi
ece of land containing six acres, which was made to her in Sept of that ye
ar. This land she sold in Dec 1666. The last record of her is 1667."

Richard De Clare was a leading member of the reforming party of baro
ns in England. King Henry III's personal style of government and his relia
nce on foreign advisers had antagonized many of the barons who regarded t
he royal policy as diminishing their own power and influence. Llywel
yn ap Gruffydd (d.1282), prince of Gwynedd, exploited this division and di
ssension amongst the English. On Richard's death in 1262, Llywelyn mov
ed up the Usk valley, capturing the Brecon lands of Humphrey De Bohun (gua
rdian of the young De Clare heir), and reaching the northern edge of Glamo
rgan. By 1267 Llywelyn had become master of the greater part of modern Wal
es, except for the southern coastal plain.

REFN: P3839
De Moray, a Highlander, is widely regarded as the man who steered Walla
ce and his troops to victory at the Battle of Stirling in 1297 – maki
ng an excellent tactical plan and bringing south many of his northern warr
iors.
Little is known of de Moray before 1296, when he was taken hostage and shi
pped off to jail in Chester following the disastrous Battle of Dunbar. Som
ewhere in the region of 10,000 Scots, poorly equipped and little match f
or their organised English opponents, were either killed or arrested.
There can be no doubt that de Moray got his patriotism and fighting zeal f
rom his father, Sir Andrew de Moray, who was also captured at Dunbar and i
ncarcerated in the Tower of London. Once in gaol in Chester, de Moray prom
ptly escaped and made his way back to the highlands and the family home, A
voch Castle near Inverness.
Avoch was the focal point of insurrection in the north, with the English h
aving travelled as far as Elgin at one stage, only to be beaten ba
ck by de Moray and his rag-tag bunch of local freedom fighters. The northe
rn troops’ activities mirrored much of what was going on in the south, wi
th guerrilla tactics widely used to unsettle Edward’s army and score sma
ll but psychologically significant victories.
The uprising gathered pace and it was in the early months of 1297 that Wal
lace and de Moray were said to have met, although historical documen
ts of the period are imprecise. The meeting apparently took place in Pert
h, where both armies met to expel the English occupiers and create a ba
se for an attack to liberate Dundee.
Wallace, at this stage, is said to have returned south with his army and t
he preparations for the battle at Stirling began. De Moray, held in high r
egard by Wallace and, according to some, the senior partner of the tw
o, is credited with creating the tactical plan that won the day for the Sc
ots.
Unfortunately de Moray was fatally injured at Stirling, when a stray arr
ow is said to have pierced him and, after a period of around a month, fina
lly took his life. The Scots would go on to some heavy defeats in the futu
re and, it is argued, were unable to function as well without the tactic
al nous de Moray brought to what was, in effect, a peasants' revolt.
De Moray’s son, also called Andrew, followed in the family tradition and r
allied behind Robert the Bruce, even marrying his sister, Christina, at o
ne stage.
The relationship between de Moray and Wallace has fascinated historians, a
lthough the former has failed to gain the widespread appeal of his partn
er despite some evidence suggesting it may have been he who was the domina
nt one in the relationship.
Both men were conferred with the title of ‘leader of the army of the rea
lm of Scotland’ and both received Knighthoods at roughly the same time – s
uggesting that, during the period they were held in equal regard.
Both men co-signed a letter to the mayors of Lubeck and Hamburg asking f
or trade routes with Scotland to be re-opened with, interestingly, de Mora
y’s name above that of his more celebrated colleague.
Where Wallace has, like so many other Scots historical figures, been roman
ticised; his story pulled to the boundaries of what is actually true in pr
int, poem, song and more recently Hollywood, it is no surprise that de Mor
ay, who failed to get a single mention by Mel Gibson, has been purged fr
om the nation’s psyche.
The Morays are a family of Flemish descent, who settled in the northern di
strict of Moray during the reign of David I. They can trace their origi
ns in north-eastern Scotland to Freskin, a man of Flemish origins, who w
as granted lands by the king in Duffus, Moray, where he built a motte a
nd bailey castle on the shore of Loch Spyine. Freskin, and the other famil
ies of French and Norman descent granted lands, were used to establish roy
al authority in the outlying Gaelic districts, which in the past had

... Bishop of Dunkeld, was the third son of Earl Archibald, and at an
early age was presented to the rectory of Hawick. Some time before the
year 1509 he was appointed by James IV Provost of the Collegiate Church
of St . Giles, Edinburgh. A few months after the Battle of Flodden he was
nominated by the Queen-Dowager, Archbishop of St. Andrews, in the room of
the King's s on, Alexander Stewart, who fell in that disastrous conflict.
He was fiercely opposed, however, by Hepburn, Prior of St. Andrwes, who
had obtained a grant of the benefice from the Pope, and Douglas withdrew
in disgust from the unsee mly contest. In the following year he was
appointed by the Queen to the See o f Dunkeld, and obtained a papal bull
in his favour. But he was imprisoned for more than a year, on the charge
of having violated the laws of the realm by procuring bulls from Rome.
After his release, a rival candidate, the brother of the Earl of Athole,
attempted to keep possession of the episcopal palace a nd cathedral by
force of arms. Douglas in the end obtained possession of the See without
the effusion of blood, and discharged the duties of the office wi th most
exemplary diligence and fidelity. He was distinguished also for his a cts
of charity and munificence, and his efforts to preserve the peace of the
country. He made a praiseworthy but unavailing attempt to mediate between
t he rival factions of the Douglases and Hamiltons before the famous
skirmish o f 'Clear the Causey,' in Edinburgh, 30th April, 1520. At the
request of Angus , his nephew, he waited upon Archbishop Beaton, the
Chancellor, whose niece A rran, the head of the Hamiltons, had married,
and entreated that prelate, bot h as a churchman and as the official
conservator of the laws of the realm, to act as a peacemaker. Beaton,
however, had actually prepared for the encounte r by putting on a coat of
mail under his linen rochet; and in answer to the a ppeal of Douglas he
said, 'Upon my conscience I know nothing of the matter,' at the same time
striking his hand upon his breast, which caused the armour t o return a
rattling sound. 'My lord,' replied Douglas, with merited sarcasm, 'your
sonscience clatters' (tells tales). After this pointed rebuke he hasten ed
back to his nephew and told him that he must do his best to defend
himse lf with arms. 'For me,' he added, 'I will go to my chamber and pray
for you.' The conflict terminated in the complete defeat of the
Hamiltons, who were th e aggressors, and Archibishop Beaton, who took
refuge in the church of the Bl ackfriars' monastery, was assaulted by the
victorious party, and would have b een slain on the spot but for the
prompt interposition of the Bishop of Dunke ld.
"In 1521, however, the party of Angus was worsted, and Bishop Douglas,
a long with his nephew, was obliged to take refuge at the English court,
where he was hospitabley entertained, and enjoyed the society of Polydore
Virgil an d other eminent scholars. The dominanat party in Scotland, on
the 21st of Feb ruary, 1522, denounced the Bishop as a traitor,
sequestered the revenues of h is cathedral, and wrote to the Pope,
beseeching his Holiness to beware of nom inating the traitor Gawain
Douglas to the Archbishopric of St. Andrews, which had again become
vacant. The Bishop was in consequence cited to appear at Ro me, but before
he could obey the summons he suddenly died of the plague at Lo ndon.
"Bishop Douglas left behind him various poems of considerable merit. His
chief original work is an elaborate and quaint allegory entitled 'King
Har t,' intended to represent the progress of human life. It is ingenious,
but he avy and full of alliteration. The longest of his original
compositions is 'Th e Palace of Honour,' which displays much learning and
versatility of fancy, b ut is marred by incongruous passages, and tedious
and confused descriptions. His translation of Virgil's 'AEneid,' which

... of Kilspindie, fourth and youngest son of Archibald Bell-the-C at,
appears to have been one of the ablest and most energetic of his family.
He was apopinted Provost of Edinburgh in 1520, and High Treasurer of
Scotla nd in 1526. He was remarkable for his great strength and skill in
warlike exe rcises, and gained the affection of James V in his boyhood,
who called himi h is 'Grey Steill,' after a renowned champion in the
romance of 'Sir Egar and S ir Grime.' But after the King made his escape
from the custody of the Earl of Angus, Kilspindie was, along with the
rest of the Douglases, attained and fo rfeited by the Parliament, 5h
September, 1528, and compelled to take refuge i n England. An affecting
story is related by Godscroft respecting the treatmen t which he received
from King James, on a visit paid by him to his native lan d.
" ' Archibald being banished into England, could not well comport with
th e homour of that nation, which he thought to be too proud, and that
they had too high a conceit of themselves, joined with a contempt and
despising of all others. Wherefore, being wearied of that life, and
remembering the King's fa vour of old towards him, he determined to try
the King's mercifulness and cle mency. So he comes into Scotland, and
taking occasion of the King's hunting i n the park at Stirling, he casts
himself to be in his way as he was coming ho me to the castle. So soon as
the King was him far off, ere he came hear, he g uessed it was he, and
said to one of his courtiers, "Yonder is my Grey Steill , Archibald of
Kilspindie, if he be alive." The other answered that it could not be, and
that he durst not come into the King's presence. The King approac hing, he
fell upon his knees and craved pardon, and promised from theceforwar d to
abstain from meddling in public affairs, and to lead a quiet and private
life. The King went by without giving him any answer, and trotted a good
r ound pace up the hill, Kilspindie following him; and though he wore on
him a secret, or shirt of mail, for his particular enemies, was as soon
at the cast le-gate as the King. There he sat him down upon a stone
without, and entreate d some of the King's servants for a cup of drink,
being weary and thirsty. Bu t they, fearing the King's displeasure, durst
give him none. When the King wa s sat at his dinner he asked what he had
done, what he had said, and whither he was gone. It was told him that he
had desired a cup of drink and had gotte n none. The King reproved them
very sharply for their discourtesy, and told t hem that if he had not
taken an oath that no Douglas should ever serve him, h e would have
received him into his service, for he had seen him some time a m an of
great ability. Then he sent him word to go to Leith, and expect his
f urther pleasure.' Subsequently the King commanded him to go to France,
and th ere he shortly after died, it is believed of a broken heart. James
was greatl y and justly blamed for his unforgiving and pitiless treatment
of a man who h ad never personally injured him. It called forth the
indignation even of his vindictive uncle Henry VIII, who on hearing of
hit quoted the familiar prover b --
' A king's face ... should give grace.'

3rd Earl of Leicester
Crusader
Robert de Beaumont He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leice

y. When the revolt of the younger Henry broke out in April 1173, Robert we
nt to his castle at Breteuil in Normandy. The rebels aim was to take contr
ol of the duchy, but Henry II himself led an army to besiege the castle, R
obert fled, and the Breteuil was taken on September 25 or 26. Robert appar
ently went to Flanders, where he raised large force of mercenaries, and la
nded at Walton, Suffolk, on September 29, 1173. He joined forces with t
he earl of Norfolk, Hugh Bigod, and the two marched west, aiming to cut En
gland in two across the Midlands and to relieve the king's siege of Robert
's castle at Leicester. They were intercepted by the king's supporters, a
nd defeated in battle at Fornham, near Bury St. Edmunds, on October 17. Ro
bert, along with his wife and many others, was taken prisoner. Henry II to
ok away the earl's lands and titles as well. He was to remain in prison un
til January 1177, well after most of the other prisoners had been release
d. The king was in a strong position and could afford to be merciful; n
ot long after his release Robert's lands and titles were restored, but n
ot his castles. All but two of these had been destroyed, and those two (Mo
ntsorrel in Leicestershire and Pacy in Normandy) remained in the king's ha
nds. Robert had little influence in the remaining years of Henry II's reig
n, but was restored to favor by Richard I. He carried one of the swor
ds of state at Richard's coronation in 1189. In 1190 Robert went on pilgri
mage to Palestine, and died in Greece on his return journey. Robert marri

Twin brother of Waleran.  Robert was the younger and inherited the tit
le of Earl of Leicester.  Waleran as the older twin inherited the title Co
unt of Meulan.
He was an English nobleman of Norman French ancestry. He was the son of Ro
bert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester and the twin brother of Waler
an de Beaumont.
The two brothers, Robert and Waleran, were adopted into the royal househo
ld shortly after their father's death (upon which instance Robert inherit
ed all of his father's hereditary titles, chiefly Earl of Leicester). Th
ey accompanied King Henry I among various missions, firstly to Normandy, t
hen to meet with Pope Callixtus II in 1119. In 1135, the two twins were pr
esent at King Henry's deathbed; the monarch's death led to The Anarchy (un
der the weak rule of King Stephen), and Robert eventually captured his riv
al, Roger de Tosny. In June of 1139, the inseparable brothers led the acti
ons against Roger of Salisbury (the Bishop of Salisbury) and Alexander (t
he Bishop of Lincoln); the former was killed in December of that year, whi
le the latter survived for eight more years.
King Stephen had taken the two brothers as his personal advisors; the t
wo brothers remained in his confidence for several decades. However, aft
er Stephen's compromise with his wife, Matilda (wherein Henry, Matilda's s
on from a previous marriage, would succeed Stephen as king), the twins pro
vided Henry, soon to be crowned Henry II of England, with "means for his s
truggle." Thereafter, the brothers were in the new monarch's confidenc
e, as evidenced by Robert's appointment as chief justiciar and as a heredi
tary steward; eventually, he bought out Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk (a
nother noble who enjoyed the confidence of the crown) and is considered t
he first Lord High Steward of England. Robert enjoyed a high status in Hen
ry's court, even acting as head of the kingdom (in a vice-regal capacit
y) for a time. His name appeared at the top of the Constitutions of Claren
don, and he was present at the Council of Northampton.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
"Rogier li Veil, cil De Belmont, Assalt Engl eis el primier front." Rom
an De Rou, 1. 13,462. Thus sings the Prebend of Bayeux in direct contradic
tion, as I have already observed, of the Archdeacon o f Lisieux, who as di
stinctly asserts that Roger De Beaumont was left in Normandy, preside
nt of the council
appointed by the Duke to assist his Duchess in its government. There is
more reason, however, to discredit Wace in this inst ance than even in the
former one, as Orderic corroborates the statement of th e Archdeacon that
it was Robert, the eldest son of Roger De Beaumont, who was the companion
of the Conqueror in 1066, and whom he describes as "a novice i n arms."
Mr. Taylor, in his translation of the poem, has mentioned also that in
the MS. of Wace, in the British Museum, the name is Robert, though the
e pithet "le Viel" is not appropriate to his then age. Might not "le Viel"
be a clerical error for "De Vielles," the name of Roger's father, which
is latini zed into "De Vitulis"? Roger De Beaumont would of course have
been De Vielles as well as his father. The latinizing of proper names
cannot be too much dep lored and deprecated.
Of Roger, Count De Beaumont, it is unanimously recorded that he was the
noblest, the wealthiest, and the most valiant seigneur of Nor mandy, and
the greatest and most trusted friend of the Danish family. Son of
Humphrey De Vielles, and grandson of Thorold De Pontaudemer, a descendant
o f the Kings of Denmark, through Bernard the Dane, a companion of the
first No rman Conqueror, Duke Rollo, illustrious as was such as origin in
the eyes of his countrymen, he considered his alliance with Adelina,
Countess of Meulent, sufficiently honorable and important to induce him
to adopt the title of her family in preference to that of his own.
We have already heard of his first g reat exploit, when, as a young man,
in the early years of Duke William, he De feated the turbulent Roger de
Toeni, who with his two sons were slain in that sanguinary conflict (vide
p. 19, ante). Towards the invading fleet he contri buted, according to
Taylor's List, sixty vessels, and being at that time adva nced in years,
and selected to superintend the affairs of the duchy, sent his young son
Robert to win his spurs at Senlac.
In that memorable battle he is said to have given proof of courage and
intelligence beyond his years, and p romise of the high reputation he
would eventually obtain, and which won for h im the surname of Prudhomme.
"A certain Norman young soldier," writes William of Poitou, "son of Roger
De Bellomont, and nephew and heir of Hugh, Count of Meulent, by Adelina,
his sister, making his first onset in that fight, did w hat deserves
lasting fame, boldly charging and breaking in upon the enemy wit h the
troops he commanded in the right wing of the army."
His services were rewarded by ninety manors in Warwickshire,
Leicestershire, Wiltshire, and Nor thamptonshire. In 1080 he, with his
brother Henry, afterwards Earl of Warwick , were amongst the barons who
exerted themselves to reconcile King William to his son Robert
Court-heuse, and in 1081 he subscribed a charter of confirmat ion in
favour of the Abbey of Fécamp. This was the last document he signed in
the name of Beaumont, for his mother dying in year, he thenceforth wrote
h imself Comte De Meulent, and did homage to Philip I, King of France, for
the lands to which he succeeded in that kingdom, and in 1082 sat

Robert II the Pious (French: Robert II le Pieux) (March 27, 972 – July 2
0, 1031) was King of France from 996 to 1031. A member of the Capetian Dyn
asty, Robert II was born on March 27, 972 in Orléans, France, the son of K
ing Hugh Capet (938–996) and Adelaide of Aquitaine (952–1004).
In 987, Robert's father had the nobles crown him as successor at Orléa
ns on December 30th, thereby confirming the house of Capet as rulers of Fr
ance.
Robert, despite marital problems that saw him temporarily excommunicat
ed by Pope Gregory V, was a very devout Roman Catholic, hence the name Rob
ert the Pious. He was very musically inclined and was a composer, a choris
ter, and a poet, making his palace a place of religious seclusion, whe
re he conducted the matins and vespers in his royal robes. Part of Robert
's piety at the time, was because he did not tolerate heretics and harsh
ly punished them.
The kingdom Robert inherited was not large, and in an effort to increase h
is power, he vigorously pursued his claim to any of the feudal lands as th
ey became vacant which action usually resulted in war with a counter-claim
ant. In 1003, his invasion of Burgundy was thwarted and it would not be un
til 1016 that he was finally able to get the support of the Church a
nd be recognized as the Duke of Burgundy.
The pious King Robert II made few friends and many enemies, including h
is own sons. Robert's sons, Henry I of France and Robert I, Duke of Burgun
dy, also turned against their father, in a civil war for power and propert
y. King Robert's army was beaten and he retreated to Beaugency outside Par
is.
He died in the middle of the war with his sons on July 20, 1031 at Melu
n, France. He was interred with his third wife, Constance of Arles (973-Ju
ly 25, 1032) in Saint Denis Basilica. He was succeeded by son Henry.
Robert's descendants would go on to rule not only France, but England (thr
ough his granddaughter Matilda of Flanders' marriage to William the Conque
ror), Portugal, Castile, and Leon.
Marriages
Robert II married:
c. 989, 1) Susanne (Rosala), Princess of Italy (c.945 - January 26, 1003
). Widow of Count Arnulf II of Flanders, by whom she had issue. She was mu
ch older than Robert, and the marriage was arranged by his father. Robe
rt divorced her a year later.
c. 996, 2) Bertha, Princess of Burgundy (952-1035). Widow of Count Theoba
ld II of Blois. Because she was his cousin, Pope Gregory V would not sanct
ion the marriage and Robert was excommunicated. However, after long negoti
ations with the new Pope Silvester II the marriage was annulled.
In 1001, 3) Constance of Arles (973-July 25, 1034) Daughter of a Willi

Hugh Capet (French: Hugues Capet) (938 – October 24, 996) was King of Fran
ce from 987 to 996. Capet is a nickname meaning "wearing a cape", b
ut it is uncertain where Hugh got this moniker.
Born in 938 in Paris, he came from a powerful and influential family of t
he Germanic aristocracy of France, two members of which had already been e
lected King of France in the ninth and tenth centuries. He was born to Hu
gh the Great and Hedwige of Saxony.
His paternal grandparents were Robert I of France and Beatrix of Vermandoi
s, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois. His maternal grandparents were Hen
ry the Fowler and Matilda of Ringelheim.
In 956, Hugh inherited his father's vast estates and became the most power
ful noble of his time.
From 978 to 986, Hugh Capet allied himself with the German emperors Ot
to II and Otto III and with archbishop Adalberon of Reims to dominate t
he weak Carolingian king, Lothair. By 985, he was king in all but name. Af
ter Lothair and his son died in early 987, the archbishop of Reims convinc
ed an assembly of nobles to elect Hugh Capet as their king. He was crown
ed King of France at Noyon, Picardie on July 3, 987, the first of the Cape
tian dynasty to rule France.
Hugh Capet possessed minor properties near Chartres and Anjou. Between Par
is and Orléans he possessed towns and estates amounting to approximately 4
00 square miles (1,000 km²). His authority ended there, and if he dared tr
avel outside his small area, he risked being captured and held for rans
om or even murdered. Indeed, there was a plot in 993 masterminded by the B
ishop of Laon and Odo I of Blois to deliver Hugh Capet into the custo
dy of Otto III. The plot failed, but the fact that no one was punished ill
ustrates how tenuous his hold on power was. Beyond his power base, in t
he rest of France, there were still as many codes of law as there were fie
fdoms. The country operated with 150 different forms of currency and at le
ast a dozen languages. Uniting all this into one cohesive unit was a formi
dable task and a constant struggle between those who wore the crown of Fra
nce and its feudal lords. As such, Hugh Capet's reign was marked by numero
us power struggles with the vassals on the borders of the Seine and the Lo
ire. Beyond his realm, the investiture and then deposition of Arnulf, neph
ew of the duke of Lorraine, as archbishop of Reims involved the king and b
ishops in conflict with Pope John XV that was not yet resolved at Hugh Cap
et's death in 996.
While Hugh Capet's military power was limited and he had to seek milita
ry aid from Richard I of Normandy, his unanimous election as king gave h
im great moral authority and influence.
Hugh Capet died on October 24, 996 in Paris, and was interred in the Sai
nt Denis Basilica. He was succeeded by his son, Robert II.
Hugh Capet married Adelaide of Aquitaine (952-1004), daughter of Duke Will
iam III of Aquitaine. Their children were:
Avoise (or Hedwidge, or Hadevide) (969-1013), who married Reginar IV, Cou
nt of Mons.

Hugh the Great (d. 956) was duke of the Franks and count of Paris, s
on of King Robert I of France and nephew of King Odo. His eldest son was H
ugh Capet who became King of France in 987.
Hugh's first wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of Engla
nd, and sister of King Athelstan. At the death of Rudolph, duke of Burgund
y, in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all the region between the Loi
re and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the excepti
on of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911. He took a very active pa
rt in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936, b
ut in the same year Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry t
he Fowler of Germany and Matilda of Ringelheim, and soon quarrelled with L
ouis.
Hugh even paid homage to Otto, and supported him in his struggle against L
ouis. When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was hand
ed over to Hugh, who released him in 946 only on condition that he shou
ld surrender the fortress of Laon. At the council of Ingelheim (948) Hu
gh was condemned, under pain of excommunication, to make reparation to Lou
is. It was not, however, until 950 that the powerful vassal became reconci
led with his suzerain and restored Laon. But new difficulties arose, and p
eace was not finally concluded until 953.
On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lotha
ir as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instr
umental in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh was inv
ested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy (his suzerainty over wh
ich had already been nominally recognized by Louis IV) and Aquitaine. B
ut his expedition in 955 to take possession of Aquitaine was unsuccessfu
l. In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged hi
mself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto. At Giselbe
rt's death (April 8, 956) Hugh became effective master of the duchy, but d
ied soon afterwards, on the 16th or 17th of June 956.
In the Divine Comedy Dante meets the soul of Duke Hugh in Purgatory, lamen
ting the avarice of his descendants.

SIR HENRY DE PERCY, son and heir by 2nd wife, born about 1235, was a knig
ht by June 1257. In July following he was summoned to attend the King at B
ristol, with 3 men, for military service in Wales, and in February 1257
/8 was among the Northern magnates sent to help the young King of Scotlan
d. In the earlier disputes between the King and the Barons, Percy sided wi
th the latter, and his lands were seized; but he afterwards submitted, a
nd the lands were restored to him. He accompanied the King to the sie
ge of Northampton, which surrendered on Passion Sunday 1264; and was in Ro
chester Castle when Simon de Montfort began to besiege it after Easter th
at year. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Lewes, in May 1264, and li
berated only by the victory of Evesham, 4 August 1265. He married, 8 Septe
mber 1268, at York, Eleanor, daughter of John (DE WARENNE), EARL OF SURRE
Y, by Alice, uterine sister of HENRY III, being daughter of Hugh DE LUSIGN
AN, Count of LaMarche, by Isabel, widow of King John. He died 29 August 12
72, and was buried at Sallay. His widow had allowance of dower 18 Octob

The birth and ancestry of Josceline was as splendid as his estates were
slender. He was a younger son by a 2nd wife of Godfrey, Count of Braban t
and Louvain, and was descended through Louis IV, King of France, and his
wife Geberga, daughter of the King of Germany; son of Charles Il, King of
Fra nce, and Edgina, daughter of Edward, the Elder, King of England; son
of Louis II, King of France; son of Charles II, King of France; son of
Louis I, son o f Charlemagne.
Jocelyn wedded Agnes upon condition that he should be called Jo celyn
Percy, or else, that he should bear the arms of Lord Percy. He took
c ounsel of his sister, the Queen, and chose to be called Jocelyn Percy
rather than forsake his own arms, for so he should have no right of title
to his fat her's inheritance. The date of this marriage is not certain,
but it was proba bly about 1150, when Agnes Percy was in her 17th year.
Queen Adeliza conferre d on her brother, by way of a wedding present, five
and a half knights' fees in Yorkshire, and the honour of Petworth in
Sussex. He lived for the remainDe r of his life in great splendour; and is
chiefly remembered for the many rich gifts which he made to abbeys and
religious houses.

BIRTH & BAPTISM  Mary was born circa 1632/3 in Dorchester, Suffolk

DEATH  She died in Ly nn, Essex County, MA on 14 February 1723; she was
91, as "Collins, Mary, moth er of Henry, 3d"[21]. There is another Mary
Collins death record of "Mary, w. Henry, Feb 27, 1713/4" in Charles S.
Viall's Bible Record. There were no oth er Mary Collins in Lynn, essex
co., MA at the time. I'm going with the first record due to its "parent
of Henry 3rd" notation.
MARRIAGE  Circa 1650/1651 when Mary was 18, she married Henry COLLINS,

REFN: P4069
Companion of William the Conqueor's invasion of England.
The Conq ueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Bro thers, 1874.
Here we have the name of an illustrious Norman, the progenitor of a race
from which the noblest families in England are proud to trace their
descent; and, strange to aay, beyond this fact little or nothing is known
ab out his own family which can be supported by credible authority. Even
the ori gin of the name of Giffard, Gifford, or Giffart, as it is
indifferently spelt , has yet to be definitively settled.
The story that lias been so often told a bout it, viz., that it signified
a free-handed or liberal giver, is without a ny substantial foundation,
and is, I believe, one of the many which have been so detrimental to the
study of genealogy and heraldry, by misleading tlie in quirer or checking
research altogether. It is upon the authority of William o f Jumièges that
this Walter Giffart, the companion of the Conqueror, the firs t we know of
that name, has been set down as a son of Osborn De Bolbec by his wife,
indifferently called Avelina and Duvelina, sister of Gonnor, wife of
Richard, Duke of Normandy. Granting this to be true, as we have no
documenta ry evidence to contradict it, the appellation of Giffart or
Gifford, appears to be one of those sobriquets founded on personal
peculiarities so commonly a pplied to distinguish certain members of a
family previous to the general est ablishment of hereditary surnames.
Instances of the practice are familiar to t he veriest schoolboy, and in
the preceding memoir I have mentioned Lambert th e Bearded, Eustace with
the Eye, and Eustace with the Whiskers. Hence the com plimentary
suggestion of " Free-Giver," which I should be happy to leave undi sputed
could it be borne out by etymology. The family, however, was Norman, n ot
Saxon; and it is in the Norman-French, or Low-Latin of the eleventh
cent ury, that we must look for its derivation. The word occurs in both
those dial ects. In Roquefort's Dictionnaire De la Langue Romane,
"Giffarde" is rendered "Joufloue, qui a des grosses joues — servante de
cuisine," the word being De rived from giffe "the cheek," giffle also
signifying in the same language "un soufflet," or blow on the cheek. An
old French poet, Gautier cle Coisiny, co mplains that women of every class
paint themselves, even the torchepot, " scu llion," and the Giffarde, "
kitchen maid or cook." So in the new Dictionnaire Franco-Normand, by M.
George Métivier, we have "Giffair, rire comme un joufl ou." And, to my
great satisfaction, I find that this esteemed philologist has come to the
same conclusion as myself, for under that word he has " Giffe, G iffle,
Joue. Telle est l'origine De l'illustre famille NormanDe De Giffard, n om
répandu très au-delà De cette Province (Jersey, of which Mons. Métivier
is a native) et De nos îles." ViDe also Ducange, sub voce "Giffardus,"
who ha s a similar interpretation, "Ancilla coquina." It is almost
impossible to res ist the conviction that Giffard, in the language of that
day, signified a per son with large cheeks, and was in consequence applied
to a cook, who is popul arly represented as fat and rubicund.
I beg to apologise to those of my reader s who may not take any interest
in such disquisitions, and hasten to the sayi ngs and doings of Walter
Giffard, with whom the name, whatever it meant, coul d not have
originated, as an Osborne and a Berenger Giffard were his contempo raries,
proving that the sobriquet of an individual had become the appellatio n of
a family.

Harold Bluetooth Gormson (Danish: Harald Blåtand, Old Norse: Haraldr blátö
nn, Norwegian: Harald Blåtann, German: Harald Blauzahn), was born 911, t
he son of King Gorm the Old, king of Jutland (i.e. pensinsular Denmark) a
nd of Thyra=Thyre Danebod (supposed daughter of Harold Klak, Jarl of Jutla
nd, or daughter of a noblemen of Sunderjylland (Schleswig) who is suppos
ed to have been kindly disposed towards Christianity. He died in 986 havi
ng ruled as King of Denmark from around 958 and king of Norway for a few y
ears probably around 970.
His biography is summed up by this runic inscription in Old Norse : "Haral
tr kunukr bath kaurua kubl thausi aft kurm fathur sin auk aft thaurui muth
ur sina. sa haraltr ias sar uan tanmaurk ala auk nuruiak auk tani karthi k
ristna"[1]
Translation: "Harald, king, baDe these memorials to be made after Gorm, h
is father, and Thyra, his mother. The Harald who won the whole of Denma
rk and Norway and turned the Danes to Christianity"
Conversion and Christianisation of Denmark
Although his predecessors had accepted Christianity at the instigati
on of the Frankish Carolingian kings in 826, heathendom remained predomina
nt among Danes and northerners for centuries. His mother may have implant
ed in the boy's soul the first germs of faith which his father, a devout s
ervant of the Germanic pagan god Wotan, did his utmost to destroy. When Ha
rald converted around 965, he had the Jelling mounds - previously start
ed by his pagan father Gorm - adapted into Christian monuments honoring bo
th Gorm and Thyre. The Jelling monuments are said to have been a stateme
nt of Harald's new-found religion; it was thought that with these monument
s, he was trying to conduct a smooth transition from paganism to Christian
ity both for himself and his subjects. Christianity may have been impress
ed on him as a result of military pressure, but the stones have led some p
eople to believe that they represent a new-found love and confidence for h
is new religion.
Meanwhile the Christian religion became more and more deeply rooted amo
ng the Danes. Even a few members of the nobility (such as Frode, Vicer
oy of Jutland) embraced the faith and soon episcopal sees were establish
ed (Schleswig, Ribe, Aarhus). However the prominent part the Germans h
ad in these achievements as well as the lofty idea of the Roman Empire th
en prevailing led Otto I, the Great, to require Harold to recognize h
im as "advocatus", or lord protector of the Danish church, and even as "Lo
rd Paramount". It is easy to understand why the indignant king of the Dan
es replied to this demand with a declaration of war, and why the "empero
r" sought to force his "vassal" into subjection. The devastating expeditio
ns, which were pushed as far as the Lÿmfjord, enabled the emperor to be
at down all opposition (972), and to compel Harold not only to concluDe pe
ace but to accept baptism. Henceforth paganism steadily lost ground.
The Bishopric of Odense was established at Fünen (Fyen) in 980; the sacrif
icial grove at Lethra (on Zealand), which, until then, had been from ti
me to time the scene of human sacrifices, was deserted. King Harold mov
ed his royal residence to RoeskilDe and erected there a wooden church dedi
cated to the Holy Trinity. In the eleventh century it was replaced by a ba
silica, which in turn was soon torn down. Since about the year 1200 its si
te has been occupied by the Gothic cathedral of St. Lucius, the burial pla
ce of the kings of Denmark. Christian houses of worship were also bui
lt in many other places during Harold's reign; in these German and Dani
sh priests preached the gospel of the crucified and risen Saviour.
There is no doubt that Harold professed Christianity at that time: it is a
lso true that he contributed to its spread. But his moral conduct in ma

REFN: P4077
Gorm the Old (Gorm den Gamle) was King of Denmark in the mid-900s.
The son of Danish king Harthacnut, Gorm is one of the most misinterpret
ed figures in Danish history. Often maligned as a cruel old dotard and a s
taunch heathen, Gorm was born in the late 800s, and died in 958 accordi
ng to dendrochronological studies of the wood in his burial chamber.
His ancestry may lie with the Danish rulers in East Anglia, one of which w
as named Guthrum, a form of the name Gorm. His father came to Denmark arou
nd 916 or 917 and deposed the young king Sigtrygg Gnupasson, and when Hart
haknut died, Gorm ascended to the throne. Claims that he took it by forc
e, or that he only ruled part of the peninsula of Jutland are almost certa
inly erroneous…[citation needed] Gorm's great-great-grandson king Sweyn Es
tridsson referred to both Gorm and his father as kings of (all of) Denmar
k, not just parts of the country.
Gorm was neither old nor unwise; when correctly interpreted, early sourc
es point to him as being open-minded and pragmatic [citation needed] as f
ar as Denmark's relationship with the Christian neighbors to the south w
as concerned, but earlier historians often confused him with his father w
ho supposedly withstood the coming of Christianity for as long as he lived
.
His skeleton is believed to have been found at the site of the first Chris
tian church of Jelling. During the reign of Gorm, most Danes still worship
ped the Norse gods, but during the reign of Gorm's son Harold Bluetooth, D
enmark officially converted to Christianity. Harold supposedly moved the s
keleton of his father from its original resting place into the church, b
ut left the hill where Gorm had originally been interred as a memorial.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
That one or more of the family of Aubigny (L atinised into De Albinio, and
better known in England as De Albini) "came ove r with the Conqueror," and
fought at Hastings, there can be no question; but Wace, who does not
specify the individual, but simply calls him "li boteillie r d'Aubignie,"
has been accused of an anachronism by Mr. Taylor, who consider s the
office of Pincerna, or butler, to have been first conferred upon the
grandson of William by Henry I circa 1100, when for his services to that
mona rch he was enfeoffed of the barony of Buckenham to hold in
grand-sergeantry b y the butlery, an office now discharged at coronations
by the Duke of Norfolk , his descendants possessing a part of the barony.
The companion of the Conqu eror he believes to have been William, the
first of that name we know of, or his son Roger, father of the second
William, and Nigel De Albini, of whom we have previously spoken (p.30).
M. Le Prévost votes for Roger, who made a donat ion to the Abbey of
L'Essai in 1084. There is no reason why he should not als o have been in
the battle.
In the absence of conclusive evidence I have head ed this chapter with
William De Albini, the earliest known of that name, whic h he derived from
the commune of Aubigny, near Periers, in the Cotentin, and with whom the
family pedigree commences.
This William married a sister of Gr imoult du Plessis, the traitor of
Valognes and Val-ès-Dunes, who died in his dungeon in 1047 (vol. i., pp.
25 and 31), and Wace may after all be right in styling him "Le
Botellier," as it is probable that he held that office in the household
of the Duke of Normandy. By his wife, the sister of Grimoult (I ha ve not
yet lighted on her name), he had a son, the Roger d'Aubigny aforesaid,
who married Amicia, or Avitia, sister of Geoffrey, Bishop of Coutances,
an d of Roger De Montbrai, and is supposed by M. Le Prévost to have been
with hi s brothers-in-law in the battle.
Roger d'Aubigny, or De Albini, had issue by h is wife Avitia De Montbrai,
five sons: William, known as William De Albini "P incerna" (i.e., Butler),
ancestor of the Earls of Sussex, who married Maud, d aughter of Roger le
Bigod, and died 1139. Richard, Abbot of St. Albans, Nigel , Humphrey, and
Ruafon, or Ralph. Nigel, the third son, was heir of Robert De Montbrai,
or Mowbray, his first cousin, whose wife he married during the lif etime
of her husband by licence of Pope Paschal, and for some time treated he r
with respect out of regard for her noble parents; but on the death of her
brother Gilbert De l'Aigle, having no issue by her, he craftily sought
for a divorce on the ground of that very kinship which he exerted so much
influenc e to induce the Pope to overlook, and then married Gundred,
daughter of Gerra rd De Gournay, by whom he had Roger, who assumed the
name of Mowbray, and tra nsmitted it to his descendants, Dukes of Norfolk
and Earls Marshal of England ; and Henri, ancestor of the line of Albini
of Cainho.
To return to the firs t William, it is clear that his grandsons were mere
infants even if born in 1 066, and therefore I believe that it was the
William, then Pincerna, and prob ably also Roger, his son, who were
companions of the Conqueror in his expedit ion; Roger's eldest brother
William being in disgrace in Normandy at the time , and not restored to
favour, or allowed to enter England before the reign of Rufus, or it may
have been Henry I.
Of William De Albini, third son and suc cessor of William II, and Maud le
Bigod, a romantic story has been invented t o account for the lion rampant
subsequently borne by his descendants.
Having captivated the heart of the Queen Dowager of France by his gallant
conduct i n a tournament at Paris, she offered to marry him, an honour
which he respect fully declined, having already given his word an

Sir Nigel d'Albini, who came to England with the Conqueror and obtained
several extensive lordships after the Battle of Hastings. He was knight
by HenryI, who conferred many grants and favors upon him, and so
attached him to hissovereign 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 milita
services in Normandy he was remunerated by a royal grant of the forfeit
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 tim
died at an advanced age and was buried with his ancestors in the Abb
Bec in Normandy. He married first his Aunt Maud (wife of his Uncle
Robert), daughter of Richard, Baron Aquila. by papal dispensation, her
husband Robert aforesaid being then alive, but in prison for rebellion.
From her, by whom he had no issue, he was separated by the Pope on
account of consanguinity and the scandal the marriage caused. He married
2nd in 1118 Gundreda,daughter of Gerald, second Baron de Gournay by his
wife Edith, daughter of William de Warren, first Earl of Surrey and his
wife Gundreda, daughter of William the Conqueror. By his 2nd wife he had

REFN: P4133
Fulk V of Anjou (1089/1092 – November 13, 1143), also known as Fulk the Yo
ung, and after 1131 as Fulk of Jerusalem, was Count of Anjou from 11
09 to 1129, and king of Jerusalem from 1131 to his death.
Count of Anjou
Fulk was born between 1089 and 1092, the son of Count Fulk IV of Anjou a
nd BertraDe De Montfort. In 1092, BertraDe deserted her husband and beca
me the mistress of King Philip I of France.
He became count of Anjou upon his father's death in 1109, at the age of ap
proximately 20. He was originally an opponent of King Henry I of England a
nd a supporter of King Louis VI of France, but in 1127 he allied with Hen
ry when Henry arranged for his daughter Matilda to marry Fulk's son Geoffr
ey of Anjou. Fulk went on crusaDe in 1120, and become a close friend of t
he Knights Templar. After his return he began to subsidize the Templars, a
nd maintained two knights in the Holy Land for a year.
Crusader and King
By 1127 Fulk was preparing to return to Anjou when he received an embas
sy from King Baldwin II of Jerusalem. Baldwin II had no male heirs but h
ad already designated his daughter MelisenDe to succeed him. Baldwin II wa
nted to safeguard his daughter's inheritance by marrying her to a powerf
ul lord. Fulk was a wealthy crusader and experienced military commander, a
nd a widower. His experience in the field would prove invaluable in a fron
tier state always in the grip of war.
However, Fulk held out for better terms then mere consort of the Quee
n; he wanted to be king alongsiDe Melisende. Baldwin II, reflecting on Ful
k's fortune and military exploits, acquiesced. Fulk abdicated his county s
eat of Anjou to his son Geoffery and left for Jerusalem, where he marri
ed MelisenDe on June 2, 1129. Later Balwin II bolstered Melisende's positi
on in the kingdom by making her sole guardian of her son by Fulk, Baldw
in III, born in 1130.
Fulk and MelisenDe became joint rulers of Jerusalem in 1131 with Baldwin I
I's death. From the start Fulk assumed sole control of the government, exc
luding MelisenDe altogether. He favored fellow countrymen from Anjou to t
he native nobility. The other crusader states to the north feared that Fu
lk would attempt to impose the suzerainty of Jerusalem over them, as Baldw
in II had done; but as Fulk was far less powerful than his deceased father
-in-law, the northern states rejected his authority. Melisende's sister Al
ice of Antioch, exiled from the Principality by Baldwin II, took contr
ol of Antioch once more after the death of her father. She allied with Po
ns of Tripoli and Joscelin II of Edessa to prevent Fulk from marching nor
th in 1132; Fulk and Pons fought a brief battle before peace was made a
nd Alice was exiled again.
In Jerusalem as well, Fulk was resented by the second generation of Jerusa
lem Christians who had grown up there since the First Crusade. These "nati
ves" focused on Melisende's cousin, the popular Hugh II of Le Puiset, cou
nt of Jaffa, who was devotedly loyal to the Queen. Fulk saw Hugh as a riva
l, and it did not help matters when Hugh's own step-son accused him of dis
loyalty. In 1134, in order to expose Hugh, Fulk accused him of infideli
ty with Melisende. Hugh rebelled in protest. Hugh secured himself to Jaff
a, and allied himself with the Muslims of Ascalon. He was able to defeat t
he army set against him by Fulk, but this situation could not hold. The Pa
triarch interceded in the conflict, perhaps at the behest of Melisende. Fu
lk agreed to peace and Hugh was exiled from the kingdom for three year
s, a lenient sentence.
However, an assassination attempt was made against Hugh. Fulk, or his supp
orters, were commonly believed responsible, though direct proof never surf
aced. The scandal was all that was needed for the queen's party to take ov
er the government in what amounted to a palace coup. Author and histori
an Bernard Hamilton wrote that the Fulk's

Fulk IV of Anjou (1043–1109), also known as Fulk le Réchin, was count of A
njou from 1068 to 1109.
The nickname by which he is usually referred has no certain translation. P
hilologists have made numerous very different suggestions, including "quar
reler", "sullen", and "heroic".
He was the younger son of Geoffrey (sometimes known as Alberic), cou
nt of Gâtinais, and ErmengarDe of Anjou, a daughter of Fulk Nera, cou
nt of Anjou, and sister of Geoffrey Martel, also count of Anjou.
When Geoffrey Martel died without direct heirs he left Anjou to his neph
ew Geoffrey IV of Anjou, Fulk le Réchin's older brother.
Fulk fought with his brother, whose ruled was deemed incompetent, and capt
ured him in 1067. Under pressure from the Church he released Geoffrey. T
he two brothers soon fell to fighting again, and the next year Geoffrey w
as again imprisoned by Fulk, this time for good.
Substantial territory was lost to Angevin control due to the difficulti
es resulting from Geoffrey's poor rule and the subsequent civil war. Saint
onge was lost, and Fulk had to give the Gâtinais to Philip I of Fran
ce to placate the king.
Much of Fulk's rule was devoted to regaining control over the Angevin baro
nage, and to a complex struggle with Normandy for influence in Maine and B
rittany.
In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers, though t
he authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. If he did write i
t, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman.
Fulk may have married as many as five times; there is some doubt regardi
ng two of the marriages.
His first wife was ErmengarDe De Beaugency. After her death he married Erm
engarDe De Borbon, and then possibly ErmengarDe De Châtellailon. Both the
se were repudiated, possibly on grounds of consanguinity.
Next he married BertraDe De Montfort, who apparently left him for Phil
ip I of France. Finally, he may have married a daughter of Walter of Brien
ne.
He had two sons. The eldest (a son of ErmengarDe De Borbon), Geoffrey Mart
el II, ruled jointly with his father for some time, but died in 1106. T
he younger (a son of BertraDe De Montfort) succeeded as Fulk V.
He also had a daughter, Ermengarde, who married William VII the Young, cou
nt of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine.

Philip II Augustus (French: Philippe II Auguste) (August 21, 1165 – July 1
4, 1223), was King of France from 1180 to 1223.
A member of the Capetian dynasty, Philip Augustus was born on August 21, 1
165 at Gonesse, Val-d'Oise, France, the son of Louis VII of France and h
is third wife, Adèle of Champagne. He was originally nicknamed Dieudonn
é: God-given.
Philip II was a younger half-brother of Marie, countess palatine of Champa
gne, Alix, countess of Blois, Marguerite, queen of Hungary and Alys, Count
ess of the Vexin. He was an older full brother of Agnes of France, Empre
ss of Constantinople.
In declining health, his father had him crowned at Reims in 1179. He was m
arried on April 28, 1180 to Isabelle of Hainaut, who brought the Coun
ty of Artois as her dowry. His father and co-ruler died on September 18, 1
180. Philip's eldest son Louis (later King Louis VIII), was born on Septem
ber 5, 1187 and became Count of Artois in 1190, when Isabelle, his mothe
r, died.
As King, Philip II would become one of the most successful in consolidati
ng northern France into one royal domain, but he never had more than limit
ed influence in southern France. He seized the territories of Maine, Toura
ine, Anjou, Brittany and all of Normandy from King John of England (1199–1
216). His decisive victory at the Battle of Bouvines over King John a
nd a coalition of forces that included Otto IV of Germany ended the immedi
ate threat of challenges to this expansion (1214) and left Philip II Augus
tus as the most powerful monarch in all of Europe.
He reorganized the government, bringing financial stability to the count
ry and thus making possible a sharp increase in prosperity. His reign w
as popular with ordinary people because he checked the power of the nobl
es and passed some of it on to the growing middle class that his reign h
ad created.
In 1179, Louis VII, in the tradition of his forefathers going back to Hu
gh Capet, had his son Philip crowned king to assure his smooth successio
n. On 1 November, Guillaume aux Blanches Mains, Archbishop of Rheims, crow
ned and anointed the fourteen year-old prince in the cathedral there. H
is father died on 18 September of the next year.
While the royal power had been increased under Philip I and Louis VI, und
er Louis VII it had diminished slightly. In April 1182, Philip expelled Je
ws from France and confiscated their goods. The reasons given were, of cou
rse, a mere pretense to allow the crown to aggrandise itself at the expen
se of an unpopular sect of the population.
In 1184, Stephen I of Sancerre and his Brabançon mercenaries ravaged the O
rléanais. Philip, aided by the Confrères de la Paix, defeated him and esta
blished order.
Since 1181, conflict had been ongoing with the count of Flanders, Philip
pe of Alsace. Philip managed to counter the ambitions of the count by brea
king his alliances with Henry I, Duke of Brabant, and Philipp von Heinsber
g, Archbishop of Cologne. In July 1185, the Treaty of Boves confirmed to t
he king the possession of the Vermandois, Artois, and Amiénois.
Philip also began to war with the Henry II of England, who was also cou
nt of Anjou and duke of Aquitaine in France; two years of combat (1186-118
8) followed, but the situation remained unchanged. Philip initially alli
ed and worked with the young sons of Henry, Richard and John, who we
re in rebellion against their father. The death of Henry and the fall of J
erusalem in 1187 diverted attention from the Franco-English war.
Philip went on the Third Crusade with Richard I of England (1189–99) and t
he Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa (1189–1192). His army left V
ézelay on July 1, 1190. At first the French and English crusaders travel
ed together, but the armies split at Lyons, as King Richard I decid
ed to go by sea, and Philip took the overland route through the Alps to Ge
noa. The French and En

REFN: P4228
Fulk III (972–1040), called Nerra (that is, le Noir, "the Black") after h
is death, was count of Anjou from 987 to 1040. He was the son of Geoffr
ey Greymantle and AdelaiDe of Vermandois.
He was the founder of the Angevin dynasty. He had a violent nature and per
formed both cruelties and acts of penitence; he made four pilgrimages to t
he Holy Land. In probably his most notorious act, Fulk Nerra had his fir
st wife (and cousin) Élisabeth De Vendôme burned to death at the sta
ke in her wedding dress, after discovering her with a goatherd in Decemb
er 999.
Erdoes says of him: "Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swear
er of false oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, found
ed not one but two large abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passi
on, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest differen
ce with a neighbor he rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, rapin
g, and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of G
od."
He fought against the claims of the counts of Rennes, defeating and killi
ng Conan I of Rennes at the Battle of Conquereuil in 992. He then extend
ed his power over the County of Maine and the Touraine. All of his enterpr
ises came up against the no less violent ambition of the Odo II of Bloi
s, against whom he made an alliance with the Capetians. In 1025, after cap
turing and burning the city of Saumur, Fulk reportedly cried, "Saint Flore
ntius, let yourself be burned. I will build you a better home in Angers
." But when the transportation of the saint's relics to Angers proved diff
icult, Fulk declared that Florentius was a rustic lout unfit for the cit
y, and sent the relics back to Saumur.
Fulk also commissioned many buildings. From 987 to 1040, while he was cou
nt of Anjou and fighting against the Bretons and Blois, protecting his ter
ritory from Vendôme to Angers and from Angers to Montrichard, he had mo
re than a hundred castles, donjons, and abbeys constructed. These numero
us pious foundations, however, followed his many acts of violence again
st the church.
Fulk died in 1040 in Metz.

Stephen (c.1096 – 25 October 1154), the only King of England from the Hou
se of Blois, reigned from 1135 to 1154, when he was succeeded by his cous
in Henry II, the first of the Angevin or Plantagenet Kings.
Stephen was born at Blois in France, the son of Stephen, Count of Blois, a
nd Adela (daughter of William the Conqueror). His brothers were Count Theo
bald II of Champagne and Henry of Blois, bishop of Winchester.
Stephen was sent to be reared at the English court of his uncle, King Hen
ry I, in 1106. He became Count of Mortain in about 1115, and married Matil
da, daughter of the Count of Boulogne, in about 1125, who shortly after be
came Countess of Boulogne. Stephen became joint ruler in 1128. In 11
50 he ceased to co-rule, and in 1151, the County was given to his son, Eus
tace IV. When Eustace died childless, Stephen's next living son, William i
nherited the territory.
Before the death of King Henry I of England in 1135, the majority of the b
arons of England swore to support Henry's daughter (Empress Matilda, grand
daughter of William the Conqueror), and her claim to the throne. Howeve
r, Stephen (also a grandchild of The Conqueror through his mother and w
ho had been raised at Henry's court) laid claim to the throne. He also cla
imed his uncle, King Henry, had changed his mind on his deathbed, and nam
ed Stephen as his heir. Once Stephen was crowned, he gained the suppo
rt of the majority of the barons as well as Pope Innocent II. The first f
ew years of his reign were peaceful, but by 1139 he was seen as weak and i
ndecisive, setting the country up for a civil war, commonly called The Ana
rchy.
Stephen had many traits that made him seem superficially fit for kingshi
p: his high birth, his descent from the Conqueror, his handsomeness, his b
ravery and his good nature. But he possessed none of the ruthlessness nece
ssary for the ruthless times he lived in; indeed, Walter Map says of Steph
en: "He was adept at the martial arts but in other respects little more th
an a simpleton."
Stephen faced the forces of Empress Matilda at several locations includi
ng the Battle of Lincoln and the Battle of Beverston Castle. Bad omens hau
nted him before the Battle of Lincoln (2 February 1141). Stephen was faci
ng his rebellious barons Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester (the Empress' ille
gitimate half-brother) and the Earl of Chester. He fought so bravely in t
he battle that his battle-axe shattered. He drew a sword and continued fig
hting until it broke as well, as he was captured by a knight named Willi
am de Cahagnes. Stephen was defeated and he was brought before his cousi
n, the Empress Matilda.
Stephen was imprisoned at Bristol, but his wife, the Countess Matilda, ke
pt faith, and the Empress was soon forced out of London. With the captu
re of her most able lieutenant, the Earl of Gloucester, Matilda was eventu
ally obliged to release Stephen from captivity, and he was restored to t
he throne in November of the same year. In December 1142, the Empress w
as besieged at Oxford, but she managed to escape across the snow to Wallin
gford Castle, held by her supporter Brien FitzCount.
In 1147, Empress Matilda's adolescent son, Henry (the eventual King Hen
ry II), decided to assist in the war effort by raising a small army of mer
cenaries and invading England. Rumours of this army's size terrified Steph

Frederick I (Holy Roman Empire), called Frederick Barbarossa
(11 23?-1190), Holy Roman emperor and king of Germany (1152-1190) and king
of Ita ly (1155-1190). He was born in Waiblingen, the nephew of King
Conrad III of G ermany. After the death of his uncle in 1152, Frederick
Barbarossa was made G erman king and elected Holy Roman emperor.
From the 1150s to the 1170s Frederi ck was occupied with asserting his
power in Italy. He fought with popes Adria n IV and Alexander III, and
also with the Lombards. The Lombard League, consi sting of the cities of
Milan, Parma, Padua, Verona, Piacenza, Bologna, Cremon a, Mantua, Bergamo,
and Brescia, was formed in 1167 and acknowledged Pope Ale xander 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 f irst
major triumph of infantry over a mounted army of feudal knights. After
the defeat, Frederick acceded to the demands of the Lombards for autonomy
bu t retained imperial suzerainty over the towns.
Meanwhile, Frederick made Polan d 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 Mu slims, he was
drowned in the Calycadnus (now Göksu) River in Cilicia (now in Turkey).

1052 - 1108 Philip I Capet 56 56 Alias:<ALIA> The /Fair/
REFN: 4282AN
REFN: P4283
Philip I (23 May 1052 – 29 July 1108), sometimes called the Fair, was t
he King of France from 1060 to his death. His reign, like that of mo
st of the early Capetians, was extraodinarily long for the time. The monar
chy began a modest recovery from the low it reached in the reign of his fa
ther and he added to the royal demesne the Vexin and Bourges.
Philip was the son of Henry I and Anne of Kiev. His name was of Greek orig
in, being derived from Philippos, meaning "lover of horses". It was rath
er exotic for Western Europe at the time and was bestowed upon him by h
is Eastern European mother. Although he was crowned king at the age of sev
en, until age fourteen (1066) his mother acted as regent, the first que
en of France ever to do so. Her co-regent was Baldwin V of Flanders.
Philip first married Bertha, daughter of Floris I, Count of Holland, in 10
72. Although the marriage produced the necessary heir, Philip fell in lo
ve with Bertrade de Montfort, the wife of Count Fulk IV of Anjou. He repud
iated Bertha (claiming she was too fat) and married Bertrade on 15 May 109
2. In 1094, he was excommunicated by Hugh, Archbishop of Lyons, for the fi
rst time; after a long silence, Pope Urban II repeated the excommunicati
on at the Council of Clermont in November 1095. Several times the ban w
as lifted as Philip promised to part with Bertrade, but he always return
ed to her, and after 1104, the ban was not repeated. In France, the king w
as opposed by Bishop Ivo of Chartres, a famous jurist.
Philip appointed Alberic first Constable of France in 1060. A great pa
rt of his reign, like his father's, was spent putting down revolts by h
is power-hungry vassals. In 1077, he made peace with William the Conquero
r, who gave up attempting the conquest of Brittany. In 1082, Philip I expa
nded his demesne with the annexation of the Vexin. Then in 1100, he took c
ontrol of Bourges.
It was at the aforementioned Council of Clermont that the First Crusade w
as launched. Philip at first did not personally support it because of h
is conflict with Urban II. The pope would not have allowed him to particip
ate anyway, as he had reaffirmed Philip's excommunication at the the sa
id council. Philip's brother Hugh of Vermandois, however, was a major part
icipant.
Philip died in the castle of Melun and was buried per request at the monas
tery of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire – and not in St Denis among his forefather
s. He was succeeded by his son, Louis VI, whose succession was, however, n
ot uncontested. According to Abbot Suger:
. . . King Philip daily grew feebler. For after he had abducted the Co
untess of Anjou, he could achieve nothing worthy of the royal dignity; con
sumed by desire for the lady he had seized, he gave himself up entire
ly to the satisfaction of his passion. So he lost interest in the affai
rs of state and, relaxing too much, took no care for his body, well-made a
nd handsome though it was. The only thing that maintained the streng
th of the state was the fear and love felt for his son and successor. Wh
en he was almost sixty, he ceased to be king, breathing his last brea
th at the castle of Melun-sur-Seine, in the presence of the [future kin
g] Louis... They carried the body in a great procession to the noble monas
tery of St-Benoît-sur-Loire, where King Philip wished to be buried; the
re are those who say they heard from his own mouth that he deliberately ch
ose not to be buried among his royal ancestors in the church of St. Den
is because he had not treated that church as well as they had, and becau
se among so many noble kings his own tomb would not have counted for much.
Philip's children with Bertha were:
Constance, married Hugh I of Champagne before 1097 and then, after her div
orce, to Bohemund I of Antioch in 1106

Henry I (French: Henri Ier) (May 4, 1008 – August 4, 1060) was King of Fra
nce from 1031 to his death.
A member of the Capetian Dynasty, Henry was born in Reims, the son of Ki
ng Robert II (996–1031) and Constance of Arles (973–1032). He was crown
ed King of France at the Cathedral in Reims on May 14, 1027, in the Capeti
an tradition, while his father still lived. He had little influence and po
wer until he became sole ruler on his father's death.
The reign of Henry I, like those of his predecessors, was marked by territ
orial struggles. Initially, he joined his brother Robert, with the suppo
rt of their mother, in a revolt against his father (1025). His mother, how
ever, supported Robert as heir to the old king, on whose death Henry was l
eft to deal with his rebel sibling. In 1032, he placated his brother by gi
ving him the duchy of Burgundy which his father had given him in 1016.
In an early strategic move, Henry came to the rescue of his very young nep
hew-in-law, the newly appointed Duke William of Normandy (who wou
ld go on to become William the Conqueror), to suppress a revolt by William
's vassals. In 1047, Henry secured the dukedom for William in their decisi
ve victory over the vassals at the Battle of Val-ès-Dunes near Caen.
A few years later, when William, who was cousin to King Edward the Confess
or of England (1042–66), married Matilda, the daughter of the count of Fla
nders, Henry feared William's potential power. In 1054, and again in 105
8, Henry went to war to try to conquer Normandy from William, but on bo
th occasions he was defeated. Despite his efforts, Henry I's twenty-nine-y
ear reign saw feudal power in France reach its pinnacle.
Henry had three meetings with Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor—all at Ivoi
s. In early 1043, he met him to discuss the marriage of the emperor with A
gnes of Poitou, the daughter of Henry's vassal. In October 1048, the two H
enries met again, but the subject of this meeting eludes us. The final mee
ting took place in May 1056. It concerned disputes over Lorraine. The deba
te over the duchy became so heated that the king of France challenged h
is German counterpart to single combat. The emperor, however, was not so m
uch a warrior and he fled in the night. But Henry did not get Lorraine.
King Henry I died on August 4, 1060 in Vitry-en-Brie, France, and was inte
rred in Saint Denis Basilica. He was succeeded by his son, Philip I of Fra
nce, who was 7 at the time of his death; for six years Henry I's Queen, An
ne of Kiev, ruled as regent.
He was also Duke of Burgundy from 1016 to 1032, when he abdicated the duc
hy to his brother Robert Capet.
Henry I was betrothed to Matilda, the daughter of the Emperor Conrad II (1
024–39), but she died prematurely in 1034. Henry I then married Matilda, d
aughter of Liudolf, Margrave of Frisia, but she died in 1044, followi
ng a Caesarean section. Casting further afield in search of a third wif
e, Henry I married Anne of Kiev on May 19, 1051. They had four children:
Philip I (May 23, 1052 – July 30, 1108)
Hugues le Grand (1057–1102)

second of that name, and son of Hugh "with t he Beard," Lord of
Montfort-sur-RisIe, near Brionne, was the companion of the Conqueror at
Hastings. His father, with whom he has been often confounded, f ell in
mortal combat, with Walkelin De Ferrers, who received his death-wound at
the same time, during the days of anarchy which followed the succession
of the boy William to the Duchy of Normandy.
We hear first of his son Hugh H. as one of the commanders of the Norman
forces at the famous battle of Morteme r already spoken of, but of which
more will be told in the memoir of its lord , and next in the list of
those who furnished contingents to the fleet and ar my of the great
expedition, wherein we find him set down as a contributor of fifty ships
and sixty knights. ["Ab Hugone De Montfort L naves et LX milites. "] In
the battle he and the Seigneur De Vieuxpont gallantly rescued William
Malet, who had his horse killed under him, and would have been slain
himself but for their timely aid. They lost many of their people, but
succeeded in p rotecting Malet, and mounting him on a fresh horse. [Rom.
De Rou] Hugh De Mon tfort is supposed to be one of the four named by
Bishop Guy as the mutilators of the body of Harold at the close of the
conflict; I need only here repeat my utter disbelief in an improbable
statement supported by no other contempor ary writer.
For his services he received (before the completion of Domesclay) sixteen
manors in Essex, fifty-one in Suffolk, nineteen in Norfolk, and
twe nty-eight in Kent, in addition to a large proportion of Romney Marsh,
and was one of the barons intrusted by the Conqueror witli the
administration of jus tice throughout England, under Bishop Odo and
William Fitz Osbern in 1067; an d by the Bishop himself, Hugh De Montfort
was made Governor of the Castle of Dover, the chief fortress in Odo's own
earldom, and the key of the kingdom. H is absence on other duties with the
Bishop south of the Thames was taken adva ntage of by the Kentish
malcontents, and led to the assault of the castle by the Count of
Boulogne, the failure of which has been already related.
The mo nk of Jumièges informs us that he was twice married, but names
neither of his wives; one, however, appears by his account (Lib. vii. ch.
38) to have been a daughter of Richard De Bellofago (Beaufoe), by a
daughter of the Count of l vri, and was therefore niece of John,
Archbishop of Rouen, of Hugh, Bishop of Bayeux, and of the wife of Osbern
De Crépon. By the first we are told he had two sons, Hugh and Robert, and
by the second, a daughter named Alice, eventu ally heir to her brothers,
both of whom died without issue, and who became th e wife of Gilbert de
Gant, son of Baldwin VI Count of Flanders, and consequen tly nephew of
Queen Matilda.
The date of the death of Hugh II, who became a monk in the Abbey of Bec,
is not known, but if the holder in Domesday, he mus t of course have been
living in 1085, his father having been slain some forty -eight or
forty-nine years, previously. He might probably, therefore, be a yo ung
man at the battle of Mortemer in 1054, between forty and fifty at the
t ime of the Conquest, and under seventy if he survived the accession of
Rufus. His second son Robert was Commander-in-Chief of the Norman army in
Maine in 1099, and on his joining the Crusaders under Bohemund, in 1107,
received a he arty welcome and a high rank in the army in consequence, as
Orderic speaks of his being " hereditary Marshal of Normandy." ["Strator
Normanici exercitus h ereditario jure."]
If this be not a mistake, his elder brother must have been dead at the
former date. At all events his father, Hugh II, is styled "the Co nstable"
by Orderic in his enumeration of the personages present in the battl e of
Senlac.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
The name of Percy, strange to say, does not occur in the Roll of Battle Ab
bey; for I cannot agree with my old friend Sir Bernard Burke in his discov
ery of it in Percelay, a form in which I have never found it in any author
ity. Strange, because in view of the numerous interpolations it contain
s, one can scarcely imagine the omission of a name so distinguished in Ang
lo-Norman history. But for those manifest additions the fact of the absen
ce of the name of Percy would go far to establish the genuineness of the R
olls, as no member of that family appears to have fought at Senlac, and Wi
lliam de Percy must be placed in the list of those noble Normans who "ca
me over with the Conqueror" on his return to England in 1067, amongst wh
om I have already mentioned Roger de Montgoineri and Hugh d'Avranches.
William de Percy was the sworn brother-in-arms of the latter, and accompan
ied him to England, *[Mon. Ang., vol. i, p. 72.] and who on being made Ea
rl of Chester transferred to him the lordship of Whitby, with the extensi
ve domains attached to it in the East Riding of Yorkshire. By what servi
ce he obtained the vast possessions held by him at the time of the gener
al survey we have no information, an old manuscript, quoted by Dugdale, si
mply saying that, "being much beloved by the King," he enjoyed them throu
gh his bounty, and it is not till we arrive at the reign of Stephen th
at we hear of any remarkable actions attributed to his descendants, when h
is great-great-grandson, William de Percy, distinguished himself by his va
lour in the famous battle of the Standard.
The name of this ancient and noble family was derived from their great fi
ef of Perci, near Villedieu, in Normandy, and according to tradition th
ey were the descendants of one Mainfred, a Dane, who had preceded Rollo in
to Neustria. Geoffrey, the son of Mainfred, followed him in the servi
ce of Rollo, and was succeeded in rotation by William, Geoffrey, Willia
m, and Geoffrey, all born in Normandy, the latter Geoffrey being the fath
er of William de Percy, the subject of this notice, and of Serlo, his brot
her, the first abbot of Whitby, a monastery founded by William on the si
te of one called Skinshale, which had been destroyed by Inguar and Hubba.
Upon this abbey William bestowed the towns of Seaxby and Everley; but resu
med and regranted them to Ralph de Everley, his esquire, who had been in h
is service many years.
Abbot Serlo, his brother, feeling injured by this proceeding, made his com
plaint to William Rufus, with whom he had been on terms of intimacy duri
ng the reign of his father, and the King ordered restitution to be made. S
erlo, however, was not satisfied with the restoration of the towns, and ha
ving no confidence in his brother, determined to quit Whitby and establi
sh himself where he should hold under the King only, and be out of his bro
ther's power. He therefore begged of Rufus six carucates of land in Haken
as and Northfield, and translated thither part of the community of Whitby.
William de Percy married a lady named Emma de Port, "in discharging of h
is conscience," says our ancient writer, she being "very heire" to the est
ates given to him by William the Conqueror, and in 1096, having joined t
he first Crusade in company with Robert Court-heuse, died at Montjoye, ne

REFN: P4363
William Fitz Osbern, was the illegitimate son of Osbern the Senesc hal,
who became one of the legal guardians of William the Conqueror after the
death of his father Robert, Duke of Normandy, in 1035. A number of Norman
barons would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader and in 1040
an at tempt was made to kill William. The plot failed but they did kill
the guardia ns Osbern the Seneschal, Gilbert of Brionne and Alan of
Brittany.
Fitz Osber n became a close friend of William the Conqueror and at the
Council of Lilleb onne, urged the Norman barons to invaDe England.
According to Norman chronicl ers, Fitz Osbern led the right wing of the
forces at the Battle of Hastings.
After his coronation in 1066, William the Conqueror claimed that all the
lan d in England now belonged to him. William retained about a fifth of
this land for his own use. The rest was distributed to those men who had
helped him De feat Harold. William Fitz Osbern was given vast estates,
notably in the Welsh Marshes.
After appointing Fitz Osbern and Odo of Bayeux as co-regents, Willia m the
Conqueror spent time in Normandy (March to December, 1067). While he wa s
away, disturbances broke out in Kent, Herefordshire, and in the north of
the country and Fitz Osbern played a leading role in putting down these
rebel lions.
To maintain control over his land Fitz Osbern built several castles
i ncluding those at Chepstow, Clifford and Wigmore. He had particular
problems with Edric the Wild in Herefordshire in 1070.
Fitz Osbern was one of William's senior administrators and worked on his
behalf in Normandy and Flanders. Wil liam Fitz Osbern was killed in a
battle at Cassel in February 1071.
The Conq ueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Bro thers, 1874.
Of the three great names at the head of this chapter [Wm F.O., Ro ger de
Montgomeri, Robt De Beaumont], that of William Fitz Osbern claims
pr ecedence as the nearest personal friend of the Conqueror, and the chief
offic er of his household. Son of that Osbern the son of Herfast,
otherwise Osbern De Crépon, who was foully murdered in the bed-chamber of
his young sovereign by William De Montgomeri, he succeeded him in his
office of Dapifer and the f avour of the Duke. No particular feat of arms
is recorded of him, though he m ust have fought in some, if not all, of
the battles in Normandy during the tw enty years or more which immediately
preceded the invasion of England, from t hat of Val-ès-Dunes in 1047 to
that of Varaville in 1060, and was probably wi th the Duke in his
expeditions against Conan in Brittany and his invasion of Maine in 1063.
We have proof at least of his presence at the siege of Domfron t in 1054,
when he was sent with Roger De Montgomeri to demand an explanation from
Geoffrey Martel of his conduct in marching into Normandy and seizing
Alençon. It is not, however, till the memorable year 1066 that he becomes
a p rominent person in the history of Normandy and of England. He appears
to have somewhat resembled his master in character, combining great
valour with much readiness of wit and astuteness of policy. We have seen
him entering the hal l of the Palace at Rouen "humming a tune," and
rousing the moody Duke from hi s silent and sullen consideration of the
news from England by bidding him bes tir himself and take vengeance on
Harold, who had been so disloyal to him; to call together all that he
could call, cross the sea, and wrest the crown fro m the perjured usurper.
William followed his advice, as most people do when t hey have already
determined on taking the course suggested, and "Osbern, of t he bold
heart," was very likely aware of that fact when he ventured to expres s
his opinion. The call was made first of the Duke's relatives and most
con fidential friends, and then of the whole baronage of Normandy. It is
at this last and large assembly at Lillebonne that the au

REFN: P4390
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
"Le viel Hue De Gournai" may well have deser ved that venerable
distinction in the year 1066, since the same writer has be stowed it upon
him in 1054, when he was one of the commanders in the sanguina ry battle
of Mortemer (viDe vol. i., p. 234), and is even then spoken of as " De
Gornai le viel Huon." Moreover, he is presumed by M. De Gondeville, the
historian of the family, to be identical with the "Hugo Miles" who
authorised the gift of the land of Calvelville to the Abbey of
Montvilliers by William the Count, son of Robert Duke of Normandy, which
he considers must have been before the death of Robert in 1035. Allowing,
however, that he was of full ag e as early even as 1030, though children
scarcely in their teens were accusto med to witness charters when they had
a contingent interest in the property b estowed, still, admitting he was
one-and-twenty at that date, he would not ha ve been sixty at the time of
the Conquest, and though fairly to be described as an old man, the term
"le viel" may be held to signify simply "the senior," as it appears that
there were three of the family of Gournay present at Hast ings, viz., Hue
De Gournay, the Sire De Brai le Comte, and the Seigneur De Go urnay.
Hugh De Gournay, the second of that name, would be the Seigneur de
Go urnay at that period, and Hue De Gournay his son the third of the name,
who m arried Basilia, daughter of Gerrard Flaitel, sister of the wife of
Walter Gif fard, 1st Earl of Buckingham, and widow of Raoul De Gacé. Hugh,
his father, S eigneur De Gournay, is described by Wace as being
accompanied at Senlac by a strong force of his men of Brai, and doing
much execution on the English.
He is said by the Norman chroniclers to have been mortally wounded in a
battle at Cardiff in 1074, and carried to Normandy, where he died. There
is, however , considerable doubt about their account of this battle, as it
is clear that several persons said to have been engaged or slain in it
were either deceased long prior to it, or could not possibly have been
present; but more of that anon.
The first of the family of Gournay is presumed to have been a follower o f
Ralf or Rollo, to whom, after the settlement of the Norsemen in Neustria,
was allotted part of the district of Le Brai, the principal places in
which were Gournay, La Ferté, Lions, Charleval, and Fleury.
La Ferté was assigned to a younger branch of the house of Gournay before
the Conquest. Hugh, the son of Eudes, is reported to have been the first
to make Gournay a place of stren gth. The ancient records of the family
ascribe to him the erection of a citad el surrounded by a triple wall and
fosse, and further secured by a tower name d after him, "La Tour Hue,"
which was standing as late as the beginning of th e 17th century. Such was
the reputed strength of this fortress that a rhyming chronicler (William
De Brito) declares it was able to resist a hostile attac k undefended by a
single soldier. A description magnificent enough to take ra nk amongst the
most amusing exaggerations of our transatlantic brethren.
Hug h was succeeded by a Renaud De Gournay, the first of the family
mentioned in any charter, who by his wife Alberada had two sons, Hugh and
Gautier, the eld er becoming Lord of Gournay, and the younger of La
Ferté-en-Brai, of which he founded the Priory circa 990, by command or
request of his brother Hugh, and for the health of the souls of Renaud
and Alberada, their father and mother.
This division of the great fief was according to a Norman custom called
Par agium, from the younger son being put "pari conditione" with the
elder. The o ld "Coutume De Normandie" gives this definition of it: "La
tenure par parage est quand cil qui tient et cil De qui il tient sont
pers es parties De l'héri tages qui descend De leurs ancesseurs." The

Æthelbald (858-60 AD)
While his father, Æthelwulf, was on pilgrim age to Rome in 855, Æthelbald
plotted with the Bishop of Sherbourne and the e aldorman of Somerset
against him. The specific details of the plot are unknow n, but upon his
return from Rome, Æthelwulf found his direct authority limite d to the
sub-kingdom of Kent, while Æthelbald controlled Wessex.
Æthelwulf d ied in 858, and full control passed to Æthelbald. Perhaps
Æthelbald's prematu re power grab was occasioned by impatience, or greed,
or lack of confidence i n his father's succession plans. Whatever the
case, he did not live long to e njoy it. He died in 860, passing the
throne to his brother, Æthelbert, just a s Æthelwulf had planned.

Æthelbert (860-66 AD)
Very little is known about Æthelbert, who t ook his rightful place in the
line of succession to the throne of Wessex at a round 30 years of age.
Like all other rulers of his day, he had to contend wi th Viking raids on
his territories and even had to battle them in his capital city of
Winchester. Apparently, his military leadership was adequate, since, on
this occasion, the Vikings were cut off on their retreat to the coast and
were slaughtered, according to a contemporary source, in a "bloody

Sir Alexander Livingston of Callendar who was the favourite counse llor of
James I (of Scotland), after whose death he acted as guardian to the
young King James II during his minority, and, in that capacity was for
some time the virtual ruler of Scotland.
Click for details of the life of Sir Alex ander Livingston and the Black
Dinner of 1440.
Died: 1451
Married: (first n ame unknown) Dundas; daughter of James Dundas of Dundas,
the elder.
Sir Alex ander Livingston and ? Dundas had the following children:
Sir James Livingston , 1st Lord Livingston of Callendar
Alexander Livingston of Feldes or Phildes, of Perthshire, Constable of
Stirling Castle, Captain of Methven Castle, etc., executed by hanging
and/or beheading on Castle Hill in Edinburgh on January 21, 1449/50 for
high treason. Robert Livingston of Linlithgow, Comptoller, wa s executed
for high treason as well. Alexander Livingston of Feldes or PhilDe s was
the ancestor of the Livingstons of Dunipace, Bantaskine, Kirklands of
Dunipace, Balrownie, and Halls of Airth. See E.B. Livingston: The
Livingston s of Callendar (Edinburgh, 1920) Chapters XIV., XV., and XVI.
for details of this line.
Janet Livingston, born circa 1395, married Sir James Hamilton of Ca dzow,
father of the first Lord Hamilton.
Elizabeth Livingston (doubtful) who is said to have married James Dundas
of Dundas, the younger.
Helen Livingst on who married William Menteith of Carse of Kerse.
Sir Alexander Livingston of Callendar was a relatively unknown Lothian
Baron who played little part in g overnment but who was now appointed
Keeper of Stirling Castle. He competed fo r powerwith Sir William Crichton
during the minority of James II.
The surnam e Livingston or Livingstone is of territorial origin from the
lands of that n ame in West Lothian deriving from a Saxon named Leving,
who settled in Scotla nd during the reign of Edgar (1097-1107). His
grandson is designated in a cha rter of William the Lion "of Livingstone"
. His descendant, Sir William Livin gstone accompanied King David II on
his expedition to England in 1346 and it was from him he acquired the
barony of Callander, Stirlingshire, whose heires s he married. Fr om the
Callander branch descended the Livingstones of Dunipa ce, Kinnaird, Bonton
and Westquarter. Sir James Livingstone of Callander was created Lord
Livingston in 1458 and it was his descendant, William who was gu ardian of
the young Mary Queen of Scots until she was conveyed to Inchmahome after
the Battle of Pinkie. The 7th Lord Alexander was made 1st Earl of
Lin lithgow in 1600, a title that was forfeited when James, 5th Earl "came
out" i n the Rising of 1715. Likewise, Sir James Livingstone of Barncloich
was strip ped of his title of Viscount Kilsyth for the same crime. The
Highland Livings tones from the Isle of Lismore and the districts of Lorn
and Appin in Argyll claim a quite different origin. Their original Gaelic
name was MacLeay from " Mac an Leigh" (son of the physician) or
MacDhunnshleibhe (son of Dunsleve). I n 1641 James Livingston of Skirling,
Baron of Biel was the Keeper of the Priv y Purse to King Charles I and was
granted the lease of the lands and the righ ts of the bishopric of Argyll
and the Isles and in this capacity he resided f or a while at Achandu
castle at Lismore. It was probably at this time that th e MacLeays adopted
the name Livingstone. The Argyll Livingstons became the he reditary
Keepers of the crozier or baculum of the Bishops of Lismore (from St .
Moluag who died in 592) and as such received grants of the land in
Lismor e and the title of Barons of Bachyll. Another branch of the
MacLeays or Livin gstones became followers of the Stewarts of Appin
descending from one of the Beatons, the physicians to the Lord of the
Isles. They were out with the Appi n Stewarts in the '45 and at the Battle
of Culloden Donald Livingstone saved the "White Banner of the Stewarts"
and carried

James Hamilton (2nd Earl of Arran and Duke of Châtelherault)
1516 - 1575
Regent of Scotland and soldier. Hamilton was the son of James, the 1st
Earl of Arran (1475 - 1529) and, through his mother, great-grandson of
Kin g James II (1430-60). This gave rise to Hamilton's claim to the throne
of Sco tland. He became Regent on the death of King James V (1512 - 1542)
and gained his French Duchy for negotiating the marriage of the young
Mary, Queen of Sc ots (1542 - 1587) to the Dauphin of France (1549). He
demitted the Regency in favour of Mary of Lorraine (1515-60) in 1554 on
condition that he would get the Crown if the young Mary died childless,
however his claim seemed lost whe n it became clear that the succession
was promised to France. However this pl anned succession did not take
place when Mary's husband, by then King Francis II of France, died.
Hamilton then tried unsuccessfully to arrange a marriage between Mary and
his son, another James (c.1537 - 1609).
Hamilton's sympath ies swayed between support for Queen Mary and the
Protestant nobles who wishe d to see her removed, undoubtedly because he
still hoped to fall heir to the throne. He withdrew to his French estates
in 1565, returned in 1569, was arre sted by Regent Moray (1531-70) and
finally signed the Pacification of Perth ( 1572) in which he acknowledged
the succession of King James VI (1566 - 1625).

King James II (1430-60). This gave rise to Hamilton's claim to the t hrone
of Scotland. His half-brother Sir James Hamilton of Finnart (d.1540)
acted as his guardian, following the death of their father.
Hamilton became Re gent on the death of King James V (1512 - 1542) and

James Hamilton (3rd Earl of Arran)
c.1537 - 1609
Political pawn and soldier. Eldest son of the 2nd Earl of Arran and Duke
of Châtelherault, w ho was Regent to the young Mary, Queen of Scots.
Hamilton was held prisoner b y his father's enemies, first in St. Andrews
(1543) and then in France (1548- 59). While there he became Commander of
the Scots Guards in that country (155 0-7).
Hamilton became a pawn in his father's attempts to gain the Crown of
S cotland for himself, being promised first as a husband for Elizabeth of
Engla nd to seal an Anglo-Scottish Alliance and then later for Mary, to
secure the Hamilton succession to the throne.
All of this had a terrible effect on Hamilt on's mental heath and he was
judged insane in 1562 and confined until his dea th. He is thought to be
buried in St. Bride's kirkyard at Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Having no
heirs, his titles passed to his younger brother John, wh o became 1st
Marquess of Hamilton.

Scottish nobleman active in Sco ttish and English politics and in the
unsuccessful negotiations for the relea se of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.
The third son of James Hamilton, 2nd earl o f Arran, he was given the
abbey of Arbroath in 1551. In politics he was large ly under the influence
of his unscrupulous younger brother Claud Hamilton, af terward (1587)
Baron Paisley (b. September 1543?–d. 1621/22). At first hostil e to Mary
Stuart, they later became her devoted partisans. Claud met Mary on her
escape from Lochleven and escorted her to Hamilton Palace. With others of
the Queen's party they were forfeited by the Parliament and sought their
r evenge on the regent Moray. Although the Hamiltons disavowed all
connection w ith Moray's murderer, James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh, he had
been provided w ith horseand weapons by the abbot of Arbroath, and it was
at Hamilton that he sought refuge after the deed. Their uncle, Archbishop
John Hamilton, was han ged at Stirling in 1571 for alleged complicity in
the murder of Mary's husban d, Lord Darnley, and is said to have admitted
that he was a party to the murd er of Moray.
At the pacification of Perth in 1573 the Hamiltons abandoned Mary 's
cause. On the uncertain evidence extracted from the assassin by torture,
the Hamiltons had been credited with a share in the murder of the regent
Len nox in 1571. In 1579 proceedings against them for these two crimes
were resum ed, and when they escaped to England their lands and titles
were seized by th eir enemies. John Hamilton soon dissociated himself from
the policy of his br other Claud, who continued to plot for Spanish
intervention on behalf of Mary until her death. (He later, in 1590, went
mad and was mad at his death.) Wit h other Scottish exiles, John crossed
the border in 1585 and marched on Stirl ing; he was admitted on November 4
and formally reconciled with James VI, wit h whom he was thenceforward on
the friendliest terms. He was created marquess of Hamilton, earl of
Arran, and Lord Aven in 1599.

HAMILTON, JAMES, third marquis, and first duke of Hamilton, was bo rn in
the palace at Hamilton, on the 19th of June, 1606. His father, James,
marquis of Hamilton, was held in high favour by James I., who, amongst
other honours which he bestowed on him, created him earl of Cambridge, a
title whi ch was at an after period a fatal one to the unfortunate
nobleman who is the subject of this memoir.
Before the marquis had attained his fourteenth year, h is father, who was
then at St James’s court, sent for him for the purpose of betrothing him
to the lady Margaret Fielding, daughter to the earl of Denbigh , and niece
of the duke of Buckingham, and then only in the seventh year of h er age.
After this ceremony had taken place, the marquis was sent to Oxford, to
complete those studies which he had begun in Scotland, but which had been
seriously interrupted by his coming to court. He succeeded his father as
ma rquis of Hamilton, March 2, 1625, while as yet considerably under age.
An earl y and fond intimacy seems to have taken place between prince
Charles and the marquis. That it was sincere and abiding on the part of
the latter, the whole tenor of his life and his melancholy and tragical
death bear testimony. On C harles succeeding to the throne, one of his
first cares was to mark the estee m in which he held his young and noble
friend, by heaping upon him favours an d distinctions.
Soon after the coronation of the king, however, in which cerem ony he
carried the sword of state in the procession, he returned to Scotland for
the purpose of superintending in person his family affairs, which had
b een much deranged by the munificence of his father. The marquis, who
does not seem to have ever been much captivated by the life of a
courtier, soon becam e warmly attached to the quiet and retirement of the
country, and spent the g reater part of his time at Brodick castle, a
beautiful and romantic residence in the island of Arran.
The king, however, whose attachment to him seems to h ave gained strength
by his absence, wrote to him repeatedly, and with his own hand, in the
most pressing terms, to return. All these flattering invitation s he for
some time resisted, until his father-in-law, the earl of Denbigh, ca me
expressly to Scotland with another earnest request from the king that he
would come up to London, and at the same time, offering him the
appointment of master of the horse, then vacant by the death of the duke
of Buckingham.
The Most Noble James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton (June 19, 1606 - Mar
ch 9, 1649), Scottish nobleman, son of James Hamilton, 2nd Marquess of Ham
ilton, and of the Lady Anne Cunningham, daughter of the Earl of Glencair
n, was born on 19 June 1606. He was the Great-Grandson of Catherine, the i
llegitemite daughter of King James IV.
As the descendant and representative of James Hamilton, 1st earl of Arra
n, he was the heir to the throne of Scotland after the descendants of Jam
es VI. He married in his fourteenth year May Feilding, aged seven, daught
er of Sir William Feilding, later 1st Earl of Denbigh, and was educat
ed at Exeter College, Oxford, where he matriculated on 14 December 1621.
He succeeded to his father's titles on the latter's death in 1625. In 16
28 he became master of the horse and was also appointed gentleman of the b
edchamber and a privy councillor.
In 1631 Hamilton took over a force of 6,000 men to assist Gustavus Adolph
us in the Thirty Years' War in Germany. He guarded the fortresses on the O
der while Gustavus fought Tilly at the Battle of Breitenfeld, and afterwar
ds occupied Magdeburg, but his army was destroyed by disease and starvatio
n, and after the complete failure of the expedition Hamilton returned to E
ngland in September 1634.

William Douglas, 1st Earl of Selkirk (December 24, 1634 - April 18, 1694
), was the son of William Douglas, 1st Marquess of Douglas and his seco

re 4th Great-Grandchildren of James IV through two of his illegitimate dau
ghters.
Marriage
He married Anne Hamilton, Duchess of Hamilton on April 29, 1656. He was cr
eated Duke of Hamilton in 1660 on the petition of his wife, Anne Hamilto
n, suo jure Duchess of Hamilton (daughter of the 1st Duke), receiving al
so several of the other Hamilton peerages, but for his life only. The Hami
lton estates had been declared forfeit by Cromwell, and he himself had be
en fined £1000. He supported Lauderdale in the early stages of his Scotti
sh policy, in which he adopted a moderate attituDe towards the Presbyteria
ns, but the two were soon alienated, through the influence of the Counte
ss of Dysart, according to Gilbert Burnet, who spent much time at Hamilt
on Palace in arranging the Hamilton papers. With other Scottish noblemen w
ho resisted Lauderdale’s measures Hamilton was twice summoned to Lond
on to present his case at court, but without obtaining any result. He w
as dismissed from the Privy Council in 1676, and on a subsequent vis
it to London Charles refused to receive him. On the accession of Jam
es II he received numerous honours, but he was one of the first to enter i
nto communication with the Prince of Orange. He presided over the conventi
on of Edinburgh, summoned at his request, which offered the Scottish cro
wn to William and Mary in March 1689. His death took place at Holyro
od on April 18, 1694. His wife survived until April 17, 1716.

Sir Andrew was Provost of Jedburgh for many years, but never becam e
Warden, the office having been abolished following on the Union of the
Cr owns. He held several Court and administrative posts, and was created
Lord Je dburgh in 1622. His half-brother Robert Carr (who adopted the
English spellin g of the name when he migrated to England with the King)
was James’ favourite and possibly the best-known member of the family to
those who have only a su perficial knowledge of English history, and none
of Scottish history. This he achieved by contributing to James’ personal
unpopularity in his new Kingdom, and to the tension that gradually built
up against the Stuarts, culminating in the Civil War and the "execution"
of Charles I. School textbooks, however, have been less than fair to him,
and grossly unfair to James VI and I — a co mpetent ruler of his own
original kingdom even if he did not understand Engla nd well enough to be
a real success there, and a man of great intellectual ab ility.

The Sinclairs were invariably unlucky in their military expeditions
beyond the county. Their invasion of Orkney in 1529 was another disaster.
J ohn, 4th Earl, set out to aid William, Lord Sinclair whose family held
the Cr own lands of Orkney and Shetland, and who had been driven out by a
strong fac tion headed by Sinclair of Sanday. Earl John, with 500 men,
landed at Orphir on the shore of Scapa Flow and met the Orkneymen at
Summerdale near Stromness . He and his men were slain, many being stoned
to death by the islanders as t hey tried to hiDe among the rocks on the
shore.
Killed at the Battle of Some rsdale.

A Charter is recorded as made to him for lands In Fifeshire in the reign
of Robert I. He, in turn, granted part of these lands, by charter, to
Thomas Moneypenney.
Neidpath Castle undoubtedly became the property of Sir G ilbert Hay,
through his wife's inheritance.
"Sir Gilbert made one of those f ortunate marriages for which the Hays
were so noted. His wife was one of the daughters and co-heiresses of Sir
Simon Fraser, the gallant patriot, and the friend and companion of
Wallace, who was executed at London by Edward I, with circumstances of
shocking barbarity. By this marriage the Hays obtained the valuable
barony of Neidpath, and other lands of Tweedside, which remained in their
possession until the year 1686."
The Great Historic Families of Scotla nd, James Taylor
Sir Gilbert Hay was personal friend and comrade-in-arms to th e 14th
century Scottish King Robert the Bruce. In recognition and reward for his
many years of faithful service, Sir Gilbert was given the honorary
here ditary title of Lord High Constable of Scotland (a title is still
carried tod ay) and was given the titles to the lands of Slains,
Aberdeenshire. He was Am bassador to England after Bannockburn in 1314.
Back in time again to the begin ning the 14th century, when Sir Gilbert
Hay had succeded to the lands of Erro l: This worthy knight is the first
of the titled chiefs to fire the imaginati on in the story of the Hays. He
became a faithful companion-in-arms to Robert the Bruce not only in the
triumphant culmination of the Wars of Independence at Bannockburn, but
through all the privations beforehand when the Bruce "to ok to the
heather" and following that, in the commando-type exploits of the w inning
back of the castles one by one, until Stirling confronted them and the
climax had come.
When Robert the Bruce was established on the throne, he gi fted the lands
of Slains in Aberdeenshire to Sir Gilbert Hay together with th e office of
High Consatble in recognition of his services. And Sir Gilbert wa s one of
the barons who signed the famous Declaration of Independence at Arbr oath
in 1320.

Odonell De Umfreville II d 1182
Lord of Redesdale
Baron of Prudh oe c1166-1182
Seems to have succeeded his father Odinell I (Hedley) sometime b etween
1162 and 1166 as in 1166 he appears in a document assessing him for
scutage5 in Northumberland, he appears again in 1171. In 1173 he had a
grant of £20 out of the rental of the mines of Carlisle to retain Knights
at Prudho e on account of Scots raiding (Wallace laid seige in this year).
It is as wel l he was granted this income for in 1174 Harbottle Castle was
taken and Prudh oe was again put under seige. Wallace seems to have taken
a dislike to Odonel l "Thus said King William: Then may I be accursed
Excommunicated by priest, p ut to shame and discomfited. If I give the
castle of Odinel a fixed time or r espite. But I will cause him wholly to
his joy and delight" Odonell escaped h owever. He was present at Alnwick
when William the Lion was defeated and capt ured. Odonell was given £17
10s out of the booty stolen from him by William. Odonell was also granted
Elton in Yorkshire for life as well as the forfeited lands of Thomas
Muscamp the Baron of Wooler.
After the defeat of the Wallac e Odonell made several alterations to the
castle including a new gatehouse. T he mound was levelled and a new stone
keep was erected which after Norham is the oldest stone keep in
Northumberland. Part of the curtain wall was rebuilt in stone. An
interesting story relates to this rebuilding work.... "All his
neighbours, the legend runs, had, either from love or fear, given him
assis tance in the work, except the men of Wylam, a possession of the
monastery of St Oswin of Tynemouth, which had been freed from all
contributions to castle building by several royal charters. Neither the
threats nor the persuasions o f the king's officers had any effect. Odinel
was so enraged that he sent for one of them who lived, without fear of
God, in the city of Corbridge, and bad e him seize the property of the
Wylam peasants and bring it to the castle. Th is man took with him two
officers names Richard and Nicholas, and proceeded a t once to Wylam.
According to the English law that had then been long establis hed, a fine
for neglecting to perform a customary duty like that of repairing a
castle was first to be levied on the private property of the serfs, and
only in the case of this proving insufficient was recourse to be had to
the l ord's demesne. The Corbridge official, however, announced his
intention of la ying hands on whatever first came his way, and it was in
vain that his compan ions cautioned him not to interfere with the head of
St. Oswin. They came to the pasture where the demesne oxen were grazing,
but these, together with the ruddy youth and his barking dog who were
looking after them, were by the pow er of St. Oswin made miraculously
invisible and inaudible to the wicked distr ainer". (Cadwallader Bates)
The St 'Oswin' is of course the former King of No rthumbria, Oswiu, whose
numerous body parts were attributed to have miraculou s powers although in
this case I suspect either bribery or the alehouse to be the more
rational explanation. Odonell you will note selects a man who was
'without the fear of God' to perform the irksome task of taking monastic
pro perty while his two companions implore him not to risk the wrath of
the holy relic, St Owin's head.
Despite Odonell's landholdings his debts on his death w ere very
substantial because of the rebuilding, so much so that some were sti ll
unpaid on the death of his son Robert in 1195.

REFN: P4660
John (December 24, 1167–October 18/19, 1216) reigned as King of England fr
om April 6, 1199, until his death. He succeeded to the throne as the young
er brother of King Richard I (known as "Richard the Lionheart"). John acqu
ired the nicknames of "Lackland" and "Soft-sword".
John's reign has been traditionally characterized as one of the most disas
trous in English history: it began with defeats—he lost Normandy to Philip
pe Auguste of France in his first five years on the throne—and ended wi
th England torn by civil war and himself on the verge of being forced o
ut of power. In 1213, he made England a papal fief to resolve a conflict w
ith the Church, and his rebellious barons forced him to sign Magna Car
ta in 1215, the act for which he is best remembered. Some have argued, how
ever, that John ruled no better or worse than his immediate predecess
or or his successor.
King John was also the subject of an early history play by William Shakesp
eare
Early years
Born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, John was the fifth son of King Hen
ry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
John was a younger maternal half-brother of Marie De Champagne and Al
ix of France. He was a younger brother of William, Count of Poitiers, Hen
ry the Young King, Matilda of England, Richard I of England, Geoffrey I
I, Duke of Brittany, Leonora of Aquitaine and Joan of England.
John was always his father's favourite son, though as the youngest, he cou
ld expect no inheritance (hence his nickname, "Lackland"). He was almost c
ertainly born in 1166 instead of 1167, as is sometimes claimed. King Hen
ry and Queen Eleanor were not together nine months prior to December 116
7, but they were together in March 1166. Also, John was born at Oxfo
rd on or near Christmas, but Eleanor and Henry spent Christmas 1167 in Nor
mandy. The canon of Laon, writing a century later, states John was named a
fter Saint John the Apostle, on whose feast day (December 27) he was bor
n. Ralph of Diceto also states that John was born in 1166, and that Que
en Eleanor named him.
His family life was tumultuous, with his older brothers all involved in re
bellions against King Henry. His mother, Queen Eleanor was imprisoned in 1
173, when John was a small boy. Gerald of Wales relates that King Henry h
ad a curious painting in a chamber of Winchester Castle, depicting an eag
le being attacked by three of its chicks, while a fourth chick crouched, w
aiting for its chance to strike. When asked the meaning of this picture, K
ing Henry said:
"The four young ones of the eagle are my four sons, who will not cease per
secuting me even unto death. And the youngest, whom I now embrace with su
ch tender affection, will someday afflict me more grievously and perilous
ly than all the others."
In 1189 John was married to Avisa, daughter and heiress of William Fitz Ro
bert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester. (She is given several alternative names by h
istory, including Isabella, Hawise, Joan, and Eleanor.) They had no childr
en, and John had their marriage annulled on the grounds of consanguinit
y, some time before or shortly after his accession to the throne, which to
ok place on April 6, 1199, and she was never acknowledged as queen. (She t
hen married Geoffrey De Mandeville as her second husband and Hubert De Bur
gh as her third).
Before his accession, John had already acquired a reputation for treacher
y, having conspired sometimes with and sometimes against his elder brother
s, Henry, Geoffrey and Richard. In 1184, John and Richard both claimed th
at they were the rightful heir to the Aquitaine, one of many unfriendly en
counters between the two. In 1185 though, John became the ruler of Irelan
d, whose people grew to despise him, causing John to leave after only eig
ht months (see: John's first expedition to Ireland).
During Richard's absence on the Third CrusaDe from 1190 to 1194, John atte
mpted to overthr

Earl of Warenne
5th Earl of Surrey
He was an English nobleman who was prominent at the courts of the Angev
in kings of England, Henry II, Richard I, and John. He was an illegitima
te son of Geoffrey of Anjou, and thus a half-brother of Henry II, and an u
ncle of Richard I and John. Henry married him, in April 1164, to Isabel
la de Warenne in her own right Countess of Surrey. After the marriage he w
as recognized as Earl of Warenne, that being the customary designation f
or what more technically should be Earl of Surrey. In consequence of the m
arriage Hamelin took the de Warenne toponymic, as did his descendents. Ham
elin joined in the denunciations of Thomas Becket in 1164, although aft
er Becket's death he became a great believer in Becket's sainthood, havin
g, the story goes, been cured of blindness by the saint's help. In 11
67 he escorted his niece Joan Plantagenet to Sicily for her marriage. He r
emained loyal to Henry through all the problems of the later part of the k
ing's reign when many nobles deserted him, and continued as a close suppor
ter of his nephew Richard I. During Richard's absence on the Third Crusa
de he took the side of the regent William Longchamp. Hamelin appeared in t
he 2nd coronation of King Richard in 1194 and at King John's coronati
on in 1199. He died in 1202 and was succeeded by his son William de Warenn
e, 6th Earl of Surrey. A daughter, named Adela, was the mistress of her co
usin King John of England, and by him the mother of Richard Fitz Roy.

Robert De Umfreville c 1075 - 1145
Lord of Redesdale and Coquetda le
Baron of Prudhoe 1130-1145
Robert appears in a pipe roll of 1130 when he w as pardoned 40 shillings
for danegeld by brief of the King. He appears to hav e regularly been at
the court of King David of Scotland (1124- 1153) which mu st indicate that
he held land IN Scotland. The Normans settled south of the t weed and in
Cumbria south of the Solway, both these areas were claimed by the
Scottish Kings and much of Cumbria was under the jurisdiction of the
Bisho p of Glasgow. We also know that Malcolm of Scotland encouraged the
settlement of Norman knights south of the Forth and the Umfrevilles may
have gained sco ttish lands as part of this settlement or via marriage2.
It would make sense therefore to be on good terms with the King of
Scotland. He was alive in 1139 to sign charters of Henry Percy Duke of
Northumberland. Robert must be the U mfreville who built Harbottle on the
river Coquet and Prudhoe castle.

Gilbert De Umfreville 'Who went with Fitz Hamon' c1075 - c1135
Th e second son of Robert with the beard, Gilbert went with Robert Fitz
Hamon (a lso known as Fitz Haimo) to the conquest of Glamorgan in 1091. In
1095 he was created Lord of Penmark. This means that Gilbert must have
been born around 1075 (Norman males could fight at 14) and could have
lived until 1135 or late r. William II Rufus continued the conquest of
Wales started by his father and his vassals established a string of
castles along the south wales coast in o rder to secure the Bristol
channel. Welsh land was given out piecemeal to Kni ghts. Gilbert would
almost certainly have benefitted, he seems to have been g iven lands there
as a vassal of Robert Fitz Hamon as we know that Umfrevilles held land in
Glamorgan throughout the 11th and 12th century.Robert Fitz Hamo n was the
son of the Sheriff of Kent and was Married to Sibyl Montgomery the
daughter of Roger De Montgomery the Earl of Shrewsbury who held vast
lands in Wales. It was Fitz Hamon who established the first castle at
Cardiff and w as given Glamorgan as his fief and it seems very likely that
Gilbert would ha ve held lands there as a vassal of Fitz Hamon. After his
death, sometime afte r 1110, and after a transitionary period Glamorgan
passed through his daughte r Sibyl (or Mabel) to Robert of Gloucester and
thence to his son William of G loucester.Gilbert's wife is said to have
died before 1135.
So far I have no definate record of any offspring but it seems very
likely that Gilbert create d an entire new branch of the family as in 1155
a Gilbert Umfreville held 9 K nights fees3 under William Earl of
Gloucester (1147 - ?), he may be the son o f a Robert Umfreville who
appears in Glamorgan before 1130 and he is probably a grandson of this
Gilbert. William of Gloucester became Earl on the death o f his father
Robert of Caen, Earl of Gloucester in 1147. Robert of Caen was t he
favourite illegitimate son of Henry I and was married to the daughter of
Robert Fitz Hamon.
The Glamorgan Umfrevilles acquired property in Devon throu gh marriage in
the 13th century when Sibyl De Torrington of Devon married a R ichard De
Umfreville and in 1233 their son, yet another Gilbert, paid a relie f of
£20 as a 5th of the Barony4. His descendants still held land there in th e
14th century (there are two towns in Devon called Charleton Umfreville
an d Downe Umfreville). A Henry De Umfreville was born in about 1267 the
son of a John De Umfreville and Alice De La Hurne. Henry married a woman
named Isabe lla and in about 1298 a daughter named Alice De Umfreville was
born in Wales. She married Simon De Furneaux of Stringston, England
possibly in 1329 and di ed c. 1343. Simon died in 1351.

Robert 'with-the-beard' De Umfreville, Lord of Tours and Vian
Tra dition has it that Robert De Umfreville was a kinsman of William the
Conquero r and sailed with him to England in 1066 and indeed a Robert
d'Amfreville doe s appear amongst the Battle Abbey list of the Conquerors
companions. Tours ma y be Tourville near Amphreville-la-campagne in
Normandy. There are seven othe r Amphrevilles in Normandy but it is most
likely that the family name hails f rom Amphreville-sur-Iton in Orne
(G.E.C. Complete peerage (1910) Vol I, p146) .What is certain is that by
1130 a Robert De Umfreville was Baron of Prudhoe and erected a motte and
bailey castle there to guard the Tyne crossing and a castle at Harbottle
to hold down the Coquet valley while Elsdon was the admin istrative centre
of the liberty. If indeed the Robert Baron of Prudhoe is the same Robert
Lord of Tours and Vian then he would have been 93 years old at l east when
he died which seems very unlikely but not impossible. It is reasona ble in
this case to put forward some alternatives:
1) Robert with-the-beard did NOT 'come over with the conqueror', or at
least didn't fight at Hastings but came over later, was given lands in
Redesdale as part of the settlement o f Northumbria by Robert Curthose and
built Elsdon castle in 1080, his name be ing added later to the Battle
Abbey list.
2) Robert with the beard came to E ngland with the conqueror and Robert
Baron of Prudhoe is his son (b c1075). R obert with-the-beard built the
castle at Elsdon. What IS certain is that the first Umfreville came to
England sometime before 1090 because one of them was in Glamorgan in
1091, they either built a motte and bailey castle at Elsdon or took it
over then (later) built castles at Prudhoe and Harbottle. We also know
that the Umfrevilles left relatives behind in Normandy. We know of this
family link because Sir Gilbert, the Earl of Kyme, ( d. 1421) was awarded
t he lands of his distant relative D'Amphreville, based around
Amphreville- sur -Iton, by Henry V.
3) Robert with the beard had 3 sons, Robert, Gilbert and Jo rdan. Robert
with-the-Beard built Elsdon c1080. The Conqueror died in 1085, t he reign
of his son Rufus was brief and troubled. When Rufus was asassinated the
country was plunged into anarchy. During this time Robert may have taken
the opportunity to take control of the liberty and the vital border
crossin g (or at least establish greater authority over the region) taking
the revenu es into his own pocket. Robert's second son Gilbert went to
Glamorgan in 1091 to campaign with Fitz Hamon, Robert with the beard died
before 1130 when his eldest son Robert built Prudhoe. Robert died in 1145
(aged c75) and Prudhoe passed to his son Odonell I.

De Umfreville, the name of an English baronial family, derived from Amfrev

d, including Redesdale and Prudhoe, from the Norman kings, and a later mem
ber, Gilbert De Umfreville (d. 1245), married Matilda, daughter of Malcol
m, earl of Angus, and obtained this Scottish earldom. Gilbert's son, Gilbe
rt, earl of Angus (c. 1244-1307), took part in the fighting between Hen
ry III of England and his barons, and in the Scottish expeditions of Edwa
rd I of England. His son, Robert, earl of Angus (1277-1325), was taken pri
soner by the Scots at Bannockburn, but was soon released, though he was de
prived of the earldom of Angus and of his Scottish estates. His son and he
ir, Gilbert De Umfreville (1310-1381), claimed the earldom, which he hop
ed to gain by helping Edward Baliol to win the Scottish crown, but he fail
ed, and on his death without issue the greater part of his English estat

me to his half-brother, Sir Thomas De Umfreville (d. 1386). Sir Thomas's s
on, another Sir Thomas De Umfreville (1362-1391), left a son, Gilbert De U
mfreville (1390-1421), who fought on the Scottish border and in France und
er his warlike uncle, Sir Robert De Umfreville (d. 1436). Although not rel
ated in blood he appears to have inherited the estates in Lincolnshi
re of the Kyme family, and he was generally known as the earl of Kyme, tho
ugh the title was never properly conferred upon him. In 1415 he foug
ht at the Battle of Agincourt; he was afterwards sent as an ambassad
or to Charles VI of France, and arranged an alliance between the English a

Walter De Lacy obtained, 9 King John [1208], a confirmation of his
dominion of Meath, to be held by him and his heirs for the service of
fift y knights' fees; as also of all his fees in Fingall, in the valley of
Dublin, to be held by the service of seven knights' fees. In three years
afterwards, King John passing into Ireland with his army, Laci was forced
to deliver him self up and all his possessions in that kingdom and to
abjure the realm. He w as subsequently banished from England, but in the
16th of the same reign [121 5], he seems to have made his peace, for he
was then allowed to repossess Lud low, with his castle; and the next year
he recovered all his lands in Ireland , except the castle and lands of
Drogheda, by paying a fine of 4,000 marks to the crown. After this we
find him sheriff of Herefordshire in the 18th of Jo hn [1217], and 2nd of
Henry III [1218], and in the 14th of the latter king [1 230], joined with
Geffrey De Marisco, then justice of Ireland, and Richard De Burgh, in
subduing the King of Connaught, who had taken up arms to expel the
English from his territories. So much for the secular acts of this

Chapter 11: Of the impious life and correspondent death of Geoffre y de
Mandeville <to index>
[1] At this time king Stephen, attending more to what was expedient than
what was strictly honorable, seized Geoffrey De ManDe ville, in his court
at St. Albans, not quite fairly, indeed, and consistently with the law of
nations, but according to his deserts and his own fear. For he was a most
desperate character, and possessed of equal power and artifice. He was
master of the celebrated Tower of London, together with two other
c onsiderable fortresses, and he aimed at great things by his consummate
craft.
[2] As, therefore, from these circumstances, he was an object of terror
to the king, Stephen cautiously dissembled the injury he had received
from him, and eagerly watched a seasonable opportunity for revenge. The
injury this aba ndoned man had done to the king was this: Stephen some
years before, as I hav e before said, had seized on the treasures of the
bishop of Salisbury, and tr ansmitted a vast sum of the money to Louis,
king of France, to whose sister, Constantia, he had affianced his son
Eustace; purposing, by an affinity with so great a prince, to strengthen
his succession against the count of Anjou an d his sons. Constantia was at
that time in London with the queen her mother-i n-law, but when the queen
was desirous of removing with her daughter-in-law t o another place,
Geoffrey De Mandeville, who at that time commanded the Tower , opposed
her, and took the daughter from the protection of the mother; and t hough
she resisted with all her might, yet he detained her, and suffered the
queen to depart with ignominy. Afterwards, indeed, he reluctantly yielded
u p his noble prisoner to the king her father-in-law, who claimed her; and
Step hen dissembled for a while his just indignation.
[3] This outrage had appeared to have long since been consigned to
oblivion; but, behold, on a meeting of the nobility being summoned by the
king's command at St. Albans, this freeboo ter made his appearance amongst
the rest, and the king, seizing this opportun ity for exercising his just
indignation, threw him into confinement, and depr ived him of the Tower of
London, with the two other fortresses he possessed. Despoiled of his
strongholds, but set at liberty, this restless man -- vast i n design, and
subtle beyond comparison, as well as wise beyond measure, for t he
perpetration of evil -- collecting a band of desperadoes, seized the
mon astery of Ramsey, and, without the least compunction at having
expelled the m onks, and made so celebrated and holy a place a den of
thieves, and converted the sanctuary of God into the habitation of the
devil, he infested the neigh borhood with perpetual attacks and
incursions. Then, gaining confidence from his success, he proceeded
further, and harassed and alarmed king Stephen with the most daring
aggressions; and, while he was thus continuing his mad caree r, God seemed
to sleep, and to be regardless both of the affairs of men and H is own;
that is to say, of ecclesiastical affairs; then did the suffering
r ighteous exclaim, "Up, Lord, why sleepest thou?" [Ps. 44:23] but, as the
apos tle remarks, after God had "endured, with much long-suffering, the
vessels of wrath fitted for destruction," [Romans 9:23] then, as the
prophet observes, "the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and smote his
enemies in the hinder par ts " [Ps. 78:67] -- that is, at the conclusion
of the business, although the former part had been successful.
[4] At length, just before the death of this wicked man, as it is
asserted by the credible relation of many persons, the w alls of the
church which he had seized and of the adjoining cloister exuded r eal
blood, by which, as it afterwards appeared, was signified, as well the
heinousness of his crime as its impending punishment. Thus, whilst his
abando ned partisans -- given up to a reprobate mind --Geoffrey F

REFN: P4808
Richard fitz Gilbert De Clare, Earl of P embroke and Lord of Leinster, was
the father of Isabel De Clare, wife of Will iam Marshal. Richard was the
son of Gilbert fitz Gilbert De Clare, Earl of Pe mbroke, and Isabel de
Beaumont, sister to Waleran Count of Meulan and Robert Earl of Leicester.
Richard, like his father, was known as "Strongbow" for his skill and use
of the long bow of the men of Gwent. Richard and his father su pported
King Stephen in the civil war between Stephen and the Empress Matilda for
the throne of England until c1141 when King Stephen took Gilbert's lands
and castles on the suspicion that Gilbert might join his nephew, Gilbert
E arl of Clare, and Ranulf Earl of Chester on the Empress's side.
Gilbert Earl o f Pembroke died in 1148, and Richard at the age of eighteen
took seisin of hi s father's lands, castles and titles. In the Treaty of
Windsor of 1153, King Stephen recognized Henry Duke of Anjou as his heir
to the throne of England, and Richard witnessed the Treaty as "comes de
Penbroc." However, once Henry b ecame King Henry II of England in December
1154, he did not recognize Richard 's right to the title or the lands of
Pembroke [inherited by his father from his uncle Walter De Clare and
granted by King Stephen] nor as lord of Orbec a nd Bienfaite in Normandy
[inherited by his father from his uncle Roger De Cla re and granted by
King Henry I]. Whatever Henry's reasons for denying Richard his lands and
titles [there are no definite proven reasons or justifications of this
act of Henry's], Richard was a knight and baron of one of the oldest and
greatest families of the Conqueror's time who found himself without his
rightful inheritance.
At the age of thirty-eight and still unmarried due to a lack of royal
favor, Richard was ready for the arrival and proposal of Derm ot
MacMurchada Lord of Leinster in 1168/69. Dermot arrived in Bristol, along
with his daughter Aoife, and went to the home of Robert fitz Harding, a
wea lthy merchant, money-lender, and favorite of King Henry's. Dermot had
gone to King Henry in Normandy and gained permission to recruit knights
from Henry's lands in Wales and the Marches for his battle to regain his
own lordship of Leinster in Ireland. It is possible and probable that
fitz Harding, to whom d e Clare may have owed money, recommended Strongbow
to Dermot as a good candid ate to be recruited. Dermot offered Strongbow
lands in Ireland, his daughter Eve in marriage, and the lordship of
Leinster on Dermot's death. Dermot offer ed Strongbow a gamble, a chance,
on winning lands, a royal wife, wealth, and knightly fame. He accepted
the chance on the proviso that he obtained permiss ion from King Henry,
his lord and king. Strongbow went to King Henry and obta ined his
permission, although Henry would later deny that he had given it exc ept
in a jesting manner.
Strongbow arrived in Ireland in August 1170; he had already sent many of
his vassals from Wales to Ireland in 1169. Strongbow me t Dermot and the
Anglo-Norman knights, who were already there, with 200 men-a t-arms and
over one thousand archers. They took Waterford on St. Bartholomew' s Eve
[August 28, 1170], and a day later, he and Eve MacMurchada were married
in the cathedral in Waterford. [There is a painting of the marriage of
Str ongbow and Aoife by Maclise in the National Gallery of Ireland in
Dublin.] So on after the marriage, Strongbow, Dermot and their knights
marched to Dublin and took that city and the adjacent surrounding lands.
Strongbow and the othe r Anglo-Normans quickly took control of the cities
of Dublin, Waterford, and Wexford and much of the southeastern land of
Ireland.
King Henry II became a larmed at the success of his knights and fearing
their growing strength and p ossible motives, he ordered all his knights
in Ireland to return to England o n pain of forfeiture of their lands in
England,

Eve/Eva (d1246) married William De Braose (Briouze), son of Reginald De Br
aose, before 1219. They had four daughters, and William De Braose was hang
ed by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in 1230. The stated reason for the hanging w
as the accusation that William had dallied with Llywelyn’s wife Joan, bast
ard of King John. This does not withstand close scrutiny, and William w
as in all probability hung for the crimes of his grandfather, William De B
raose lord of Bramber and Abergavenny, against the Welsh.
Eve’s and De Braose’s daughters were: Maud/Matilda (d1301) who married Rog
er De Mortimer of Wigmore; Isabel (d?) who married (1229) David (d1246), s
on of Llywelyn ap Iorwerth; Eve (d125 5) who married William De Cantelo
u; and Eleanor (d c 1250) who married Humphr ey De Bohun earl of Herefor
d. It is worth noting that Eve’s daughter, Isabel, was married to the s
on of the man who had hung her father. Her fate is not known except for t
he fact that she and David had no children. There are records of letters b
etween Isabel’s uncle William, her mother Eve, and Llywelyn about her marr
iage contract to David after her father’s death. Given the time period a
nd known practices, it must be assumed that Isabel’s uncle, William, decid
ed that the marriage was necessary for the good of the feudal family.
Born: 1206?
Died: 1246
After Llewelyn Fawr had hanged Eva's husband, William, he wrote letters (s
ee translations) to her and her brother, William, Earl of Pembroke.  He w
as enquiring whether the marriage between his son, Dafydd, and Isabel
la De Braose should still go ahead.  Evidently they agreed that it shoul
d. Nevertheless Llewelyn and Dafydd were never satisfied with the distribu
tion of William's lands among his four heiresses and this led to further a
rmed conflicts in the marches.
Eva continued to hold Braose lands and castles in her own right after t
he death of her husband.  Dugdale mentions her as holder of Totnes in 123
0. It is recorded in the Close Rolls (1234-7) that Henry III granted 12 ma
rks to her to strengthen the castle at Hay.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald . London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Of the group of nobles at the head of this c hapter, the first two are
mentioned by Wace, and Guillaume De Poitiers speaks only of the son of
Count Richard.
Other writers, however, assert that both Count Richard and his son fought
siDe by siDe in the battle of Senlac. It is possible they might have done
so, as Count Richard died on the 13th of Decemb er of the following year,
1067, and there is nothing to prove that he was not in the army of
invasion. It is remarkable, however, that in Taylor's List it is William,
Count of Evreux, who is set down as contributing eighty vessels to the
fleet; and as William was not Count of Evreux in 1066, it is possible
that it is one of the many mistakes we find in the baptismal names of
these early nobles and their wives, and we ought to read "Richard," at
least as fa r as the furnishing so noble a contingent as eighty vessels,
which must surel y have been the act of the reigning Prince, and not of
his son, who might at the same time have had the command of them.
Richard, Count of Evreux, was the grandson of Richard I, Duke of
Normandy, and succeeded his father, Robert, C ount of Evreux and
Archbishop of Rouen, in 1037. Beyond the fact that at a da te variously
stated as 1055, 1060, and 1066 or 1067, he founded the abbey of St.
Sauveur; nothing is stated of his acts and deeds worth recording; but he
is described by the monk of Jumièges as equally a good Christian and a
good soldier.
He was twice married. His first wife was Adela (called by Pere Ansel m,
Helene), widow of the Roger De Toeni who was slain in 1038, by whom he
h ad William, who succeeded him, and Agnes, third wife of Simon de
Montfort, an d whose abduction by her half-brother, Ralph De Toeni, I have
already mention ed. By his second wife, Godechilde, of whose family we
know as little as we d o of that of his first, he had only one daughter,
named after her mother, who became abbess of St. Sauveur, the abbey
founded by her father at Evreux.
Of William, Count of Evreux, the undoubted companion of the Conqueror,
much mor e is recorded, though nothing previous to the invasion, except
his being pres ent with his father at the great Council at Lillebonne,
wherein that invasion was decided upon. He is reported as having borne
himself valiantly in the ba ttle, and received an ample share of the lands
in England distributed by the Conqueror in 1070 to the chieftains who had
accompanied him in his expedition . He returned to Normandy in 1078, and
was one of the mediators in the treaty of Peace of BlanchelanDe (viDe p.
198, ante). Shortly afterwards, King Willi am, as if to indemnify himself
for the property he had bestowed upon him in E ngland, took from him the
Castle of Evreux, and placed a royal garrison in it . Nevertheless, he
fought on the King's siDe during the disturbances in Maine , and was taken
prisoner at the assault of the Castle of Saint Suzanne, held against the
King by Hubert, Vicomte De Maine. In 1087, on the death of the Co nqueror,
he recovered the Castle of Evreux, driving out the royal troops both from
there and from the town of Dangu in the Norman Vexin.
Being without is sue, he had adopted his niece Bertrade, daughter of his
brother-in-law, Simon De Montfort. In 1089, Fulk le Rechin, or the
Quarreller, Count of Anjou, cap tivated by her beauty, determined to
repudiate his third wife, Arengarde, dau ghter of Isambert, Lord of
Chalet-dillon, whom he had only married, 21st Janu ary, 1087, in order to
obtain the hand of the lovely Bertrade. At this moment , the Manceaux
making a fresh effort to throw off the yoke of the Normans, Du ke Robert
Court-heuse entreated the Count of Anjou to assist him in their
r epression, which he promised to do on condition that the Duke would
obtain fo r him the hand of Bertrade. On Robert's applicati

Kievan Rus achieved its greatest pow er and splendor under Yaroslav
the Wise in the 11th century. Yaroslav made Ki ev a great city and built
magnificent buildings, including the notable Cathed ral of Saint Sophia or
Hagia Sophia of Kiev. Yaroslav did much to develop Kie van Rus education
and culture. He also revised the first Russian law code, th e so-called
Russkaya Pravda or Russian Justice.  After his death in 1054, Kie van Rus
declined.  Yaroslav's grandson, Vladimir II Monomachus, made the fina l
attempt to unite Kievan Rus, but after his death in 1125 the
fragmentatio n continued as other Kievan Rus principalities challenged
Kiev's supremacy.
By the 13th century, the East Slavic lands became a loose federation
of city- states, held together by common language, religion, traditions,
and customs. Although ruled by members of the house of Rurik, these
city-states were often at war with one another.  The area became an easy
target for bands of invadi ng Asiatic Mongols.

Obotrites
The Obotrites (sometimes Abodrites, Obodrites) were a m ixed group among
the Slavic peoples who had in the 6th century AD settled in the regions
later known as Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein in what is now
north-eastern Germany.
They alternately fought with and served as tributarie s to the Frankish
kings and their successors in the East, acknowledging final ly the
suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire in 1170, after which the region
underwent rapid Germanisation. However, through the late 15th century,
most v illagers were still speaking Slavic dialects (Polabian language).
In common wi th other Slavic groups, they were often described by Frankish
sources as Wend s, a term properly denoting the distinct (but possibly
related) ancestors of today's Sorbs, who lived to the south-east.

Signer of the Magna Carta
John de Lacy , born in 1195, hereditary constable of Chester, in the 15
th year of King John, undertook the payment of 7,000 marks to the crow
n, in the space of four years, for livery of the lands of his inheritanc
e, and to be discharged of all his father's debts due to the exchequer, fu
rther obligating himself by oath, that in case he should ever swerve fr
om his allegiance, and adhere to the king's enemies, all of his possessio
ns should devolve upon the crown, promising also, that he would not mar
ry without the king's license. By this agreement it was arranged that t
he king should retain the castles of Pontefract and Dunnington, still in h
is own hands; and that he, the said John, should allow 40 pounds per yea
r, for the custody of those fortresses. But the next year he had Dunningt
on restored to him, upon hostages. About this period he joined the baroni
al standard, and was one of the celebrated twenty-five barons, one of t
he Sureties, appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Charta. B
ut the next year, he obtained letters of safe conduct to come to the ki
ng to make his peace, and he had similar letters, upon the accession of He
nry III., in the second year of which monarch's reign, he went with dive
rs other noblemen into the Holy Land.
John de Lacy (Lacie), 7th Baron of Halton Castle, and hereditary constab
le of Chester, was one of the earliest who took up arms at the time of t
he Magna Charta, and was appointed to see that the new statutes were prope
rly carried into effect and observed in the counties of York and Nottingha
m. He was excommunicated by the Pope. Upon the accession of King Henry II
I. he joined a party of noblemen and made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a
nd did good service at the siege of Damietta. In 1232 he was made Ea
rl of Lincoln and in 1240, governor of Chester and Beeston Castles. He di
ed July 22, 1240, and was buried at the Cisterian Abbey of Stanlaw, in c
o. Chester. The monk Matthew Paris, records: "On the 22nd day of Jul
y, in the year 1240, which was St. Magdalen's Day, John, Earl of Lincol
n, after suffering from a long illness went the way of all flesh." He marr
ied (1) Alice, daughter of Gilbert de Aquila, but by her had no issue. S
he died in 1215 and, after his marked gallantry at the siege of Damiett
a, he married (2) Margaret Quincy, only daughter and heir of Robert de Qui
ncy, Earl of Winchester, by Hawyse, 4th sister and co-heir of Ranulph de M
echines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, which Ranulph, by a formal charter u
nder his seal, granted the Earldom of Lincoln, that is, so much as he cou
ld grant thereof, to the said Hawyse, "to the end that she might be counte
ss, and that her heirs might also enjoy the earldom;" which grant was conf
irmed by the king, and at the especial request of the countess, this Jo
hn de Lacy, constable of Chester, was created by charter, dated Northampto
n, November 23, 1232, Earl of Lincoln, with remainder to the heirs of h
is body, by his wife, the above-mentioned Margaret. In the contest which o
ccurred during the same year, between the king and Richard Marshal, Ea
rl of Pembroke, Earl Marshal, Matthew Paris states that the Earl of Linco
ln was brought over to the king's party, with John le Scot, Earl of Cheste
r, by Peter de Rupibus, Bishop of Winchester, for a bribe of 1,000 mark
s. In 1237, his lordship was one of those appointed to prohibit Oto, the p
ope's prelate, from establishing anything derogatory to the king's crown a
nd dignity, in the council of prelates then assembled; and the same ye
ar he had a grant of the sheriffalty of Cheshire, being likewise constitut
ed Governor of the castle of Chester. The earl died in 1240, leaving Marga
ret, his wife, surviving, who remarried William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke.
1171 - 1211 Roger De Lacy 40 40 REFN: 4902AN
Alias:<ALIA> /Helle/
By right as oldest son of John De Lacy (of Magna Charta, signatory), Rog
er De Lacy, Baron of Pontefract and of Halton, Justicar of Ire land, Const
able of Chester and Lord of the Honors of Pontefract, becameimmortaliz
ed in the annals of medieval warfare for his bravery, fortitude and endura
nce. He married Maud De Clare and left by her two sons, John the Earl of L
incoln and Roger. His mother, Alice De Vere was sister to William de Maude
ville, Earl of Essex. John, his father was in charge of Dublin, Irelan
d, in 11 81, during the period that Hugh De Lacy was Governor (Lord Palant
ine) of Ireland. He died in the crusade of 1190 at Tyre. Prior to his dea
th John De Lacy founded Stanlaw Abbey and the hospital of Castle Deningt
on about 1172. Roger was stated by many accounts to be the most remarkab
le man of his day and by the Welsh, his inveterate foes, was styled "Rog
er Hell" for his fierce spirit during his Castle Defiance against the Ki
ng of Normandy, Philip Augustus. He waged a ruthless war against the Wels
h, his very name striking fear into the men of Cambria. Robert II De La
cy had fought by the side of King Henry II and his son, Prince John, in No
rmandy. For this service, the King forgave a debt of old Henry De Lacy, w
ho had refused to pay for Henry I's tax for his daughter's "wedding". Ther
efore, when Robert died in 1194, there was nothing to s tand in the w
ay of confirming Pontefract to John De Lacy. And thus, after an illustrio
us career, John then passed on the Honors to his son, soon to be, Roger "H
ell". Roger exerted great energies developing the Baronage (Pontefract) a
nd prospered. He ensured that it was well maintained, administered and flo
urishing. He employed at minimum a steward, general manager, a bailif
f, a cook whose name was Ranulf, a dispenser, two chamberlains and a chap
el overseer. Although Roger De Lacy obtained Pontefract in 1194
after Robert II De Lacy, his grand uncle, and then John De Lacy, his fath
er has passed, it was not unti l 1204, that Roger De Lacy officially was c
onfirmed with the Honor of Pontefract, after the Normandy Campaign in whi
ch Roger held the Castle Gaillard at bay from the Norman army of King Phil
ip of France. Upon the death of his fath er John, Roger accepted his right
ful claims to the honors of Pontefract with great pride and upon this inhe
ritance, the Chancellor of England entrusted hi m with the custody of cast
les Thickhill and Nottingham. By this action the Chancellor unwittingly co
ntributed to the deaths of two of the King's knights. The two warriors h
ad conspired against Roger and the Chancellor to surrender the castles ba
ck to King John. Roger's fierce De Lacy spirit engaged, he ordered them ha
nged forthwith. In revenge of this aggressive action by the Baron, John th
en ordered Roger's lands ransacked and plundered. Afterward, in 1199, Rog
er warily swore fealty to King John upon his ascension to the throne. Fr
om that time forward, Roger and the King remained in high favor, one wi
th the other. In November 1200, Roger was chartered by King John to esco
rt William the Lion of Scotland to Lincoln and was then ordered prese
nt in court when William gave tribute and allegiance to King John. Lat
er in 1201, Roger was summoned to command 100 knights alongside of Willi
am Marshall, the
Earl of Pemb roke, to defend Normandy and all of John's Norman possessio
ns against the aggression of the King of France. Intrigue pervaded the cou
rt of the King behind the scenes involving the politics of the day, mediev
al though it was. King John was not very popular among the established Bar
onies in England, during his reign, partly because of the internal Royal f
amily politics as we have come to know of it, and also because the King d
id not appear to be overly
concerned with whether or not people liked him at all.

about Caerlaverock Castle:
But the Scots soon began to rebel against Edward. In 1300 he invaded
Galloway, one of the centres of resistance, and Caerlaverock was one of
the prime targets for his wrath. The siege of Caerlaverock is one of the
most we ll known incidents of this time because of a detailed written
account by a me mber of the besieging army.
Edward of England came with 87 knights and 3000 me n. Siege engines were
sent for from the castles of Lochmaben, Carlisle, Roxbu rgh, Jedburgh and
Skinburness. The siege didnt last long and Lord Maxwells ga rrison of 60
men soon surrendered. Some were hanged from the castle walls and the rest
were allowed to walk free. The castle remained in English hands unt il
1312.
The keeper of the castle was none other than Sir Eustace Maxwell,
demonstrating the borderer's remarkable ability to make the most from
both s ides. In 1312 he declared for Robert Bruce, King of Scots. He was
besieged in the castle but held out. Robert I granted him a charter of
annual rent for d emolishing the castle in line with Robert Bruces policy
of destroying all str onghold that could be used by an invading force.
The accession of David II to the Scottish throne in 1329 and the
re-opening of hostilities between Scotlan d and England was a sign for Sir
Eustace to change his allegiances once again . The Maxwells were loyal to
the Balliols and not to the Bruces and when in 1 332, Edward Balliol was
crowned King of Scots at Scone Sir Eustace repaired a nd garrisoned
Caerlaverock and placed it at Balliols disposal.

William Sinclair, 2nd Earl of Caithness, slain at Flodden 9 Sep 1513; m.
Marg aret, daughter of Sir Gilbert Keith of Inverugy. [Magna Charta
Sureties]
The re is a superstition that it is unlucky for a Sinclair to cross the
Ord on a Monday wearing green, This had its origin in the march
southward, in 1515, of William, 3rd Earl of Caithness and 300 men on
their way to Flodden Field. On e returned. He appears to have left before
the battle carrying a ``drum- head charter" granted to the Earl by James
IV. The Sinclairs were invariably unlu cky in their military expeditions
beyond the county.

Sir William Sinclair, was also active at the sea. The husband of Sir Jam
es Douglas's niece, and brother-in-law to Sir James himself, he had been a
ppointed Grand Admiral of Scotland in 1436, and was subsequently to beco
me Chancellor as well. But his greatest achievement, which was to link h
im forever with Masonic and other esoteric traditions, lay in the sphe
re of architecture. It was under Sir William's auspices that, in 1446, t
he foundations for a large collegiate church were laid at Rosslyn. In 145
0, the structure was formally dedicated to St Matthew and work proper bega
n. While it proceeded, another William Sinclair, probably the nephew of Ro
sslyn builder, became the first member of his family to enrol in the Sco
ts Guard and rose to prominence in the unit.
The building of Rosslyn Chapel was to take forty years. It was finally com
pleted in the 1480's by Sir William's son Oliver Sinclair, a close associa
te of Lord George Seton, who swore fealty to Oliver Sinclair for life at t
his time. Oliver Sinclair never proceeded with the rest of the church, pro
bably because, by now, it appears, Sinclair energies were diverted elsewhe
re. Sir William's grandson, also named Oliver, was a military officer, clo
se confidant and Master of the Royal Household to James V. In 1542, he com
manded the Scottish army at Solway Moss, where he was captured. On givi
ng his parole to aid the English cause, he was released, but seems n
ot to have held to his oath. In 1545, he was ordered to return to pris
on in England, whereupon he proceeded to disappear from history, presumab
ly going to ground in the Scottish hinterlands or perhaps abroad.
That in 1441 James II, King of Scotland, appointed St Clair Patron and Pro
tector of Scottish Masons; that the office was hereditary; that after h
is death, circa 1480, his descendants held annual meetings at Kilwinning,.

gs Of Scotland; that it was neglected by James VI when he became King of E

It is important to note that "Masonry" in this context does not imply Free
masonry as we know it today. On the contrary, it refers to the guild or gu

-----------------------------------------------------------------
There seems to be a slight problem with Burke's Peerage in the Wemyss & Lo
vat lines. The Lovat/Fraser line has Hugh Fraser 4th Lord of Lovat marryi
ng Isobel Wemyss, daughter of John Wemyss & Isabel Erskine. His son Hugh F
raser 6th Lord of Lovat (inherited title after elder brother Alexander 5
th Lord died) also married an Isabel Wemyss, daughter of John Wemyss (no w
ife given). Looks a little fishy with two "Hugh"s in a row marrying two "I
sabel"s who are daughters of two "John Wemyss"s. When one gets to the Wemy
ss line, only Isabel the daughter of John Wemyss & Isabel Erskine--and s
he is said to have married Hugh the 6th Lord (not 4th Lord).
Magna Charta Sureties also has John Wemyss and Isabel Erskine. In their li
neage, which includes daughter Elizabeth marrying Andrew 1st Lord Gray, t
he dates would support the latter (Hugh the 6th) connection with Isabel We
myss rather than Hugh the 4th.

Killed in battle at the Battle of Harlaw.
This battle, regarded by many today as the conflict between Highlanders
and Lowlanders which killed the expansion of Gaelic influence, was one of
the most brutal in Scottish history, becomin g known as ‘Red Harlaw’.
While James I was growing up in English jails, Donald , Lord of the Isles
made it his business to secure the Earldom of Ross’ estat es before the
Stewarts or Albany, the Governor of Scotland could, bringing hi s army
westwards into Inverness and over the River Spey.
It may well have al so been his desire to plunder and destroy Aberdeen.
His advance was met two mi les past Inverurie at Harlaw. Coming from their
north-eastern lands were a fo rce of Keiths, Forbes', Leslies and Irvines,
led by the Earl of Mar. They bat tled for most of 24 July until Donald’s
men withdrew.
There were no winners or losers on the day but when James I returned to
Scotland in April 1424 he q uickly set about routing his foes.

1240 Andrew Fraser REFN: 8048AN
DNB makes Alexander Fraser son of Andrew Fraser and grandson of Richard Fr
aser, however, every historical document related to the Fraser family cal
ls Andrew son of Gilbert and Richard, Alexander's cousin. Therefore, docum
entation seems to support the parentage of Andrew being Gilbert and Christ
ian.
Owing to the failure, in this manner, of the direct male line, the male re
presentationship of the Frasers went of course to the next collateral mal
e, Sir Andrew Fraser, who will be immediately proved to have been a young
er son of Sir Gilbert Fraser, Sheriff of Traquair, formerly mentioned, t
he common ancestor, and the father and grandfather, respectively, of the t
wo Simons whose history and exploits have been narrated.
This Sir Andrew, consequently the younger brother of Sir Simon 'pater', w
as a distinguished character in his day, and is often mentioned in the ann
als of the period. The first notice we have of him is in June 1291, wh
en he swore allegiance to Edward I at Dunfermline, being designed as nobl
is vir Dominus Andreas Fraser. (Remarks on Ragman's Roll, 13 Prynne, II
I. 510) Baliol nominated Sir Andrew one of the umpires to decide the conte
st for the Crown, 5th June 1291; he was present when that pusillanimous pr
ince did homage to Edward on the 26th December 1292. He was sheriff of Sti
rling in 1291 and 1293, and dominus de Touch in the same county. By a mand
ate of Edward I on 3d September 1296, Andrew Fraser's lands in Fife, whi
ch he held of Ada de Valoynes, were ordered to be restored to him. On t
he 25th of June 1297, the same Prince bestowed upon him the manor of Ughtr
ethrestrother (hodierne Struthers) in Fife.
Animated with the ardent zeall which distinguished the Scottish nobles, S
ir Andrew Fraser and his son are deservdly eulogised for their valorour ex
ploits, in defending against and cruel and vindictive enemy the liberti
es of their native country. Sir Andrew soes not appear to have long surviv
ed Sir Simon, his gallant nephew. We learn from the Chartulary of Kelso, t
hat he executed a mortification, with consent of Beatrix his wife, to th
at religious house, under the appellation of Andreas Fraser, filius quond
am Gilberti Fraser militis, of a caracute of land in Wester Gordon. Both C
halmers and Crawford explicitly state, that Sir Andrew was the son of Gilb
ert Fraser, who was vicecomes of Traquair: But the previous authority is c
onclusive of the fact; because there was no other Gilbert, except the Sher
iff who figured at the time. Sir Andrew, obviously as a relative, is a wit
ness also to the deeds by Sir Simon, the grandson of Gilbert. AS, in subse
quent document to the above, in the cartulary of Kelso, and relative to i
t, in 1308, Sir Andrew is styled 'of good memory, now deceased,' he may ha
ve died about the latter period.
The latest writer on the subject seems to have had Andrew in view, wh
en he says that he was the father of Simon, who obtained the lands of Lova
t; but, by a chronological error, he calls him Adam, and says, he was a do
nator to the Abbey of Kelso. This will be pretty evident, when we consid
er that no Adam Fraser ever appears as a benefactor of that institution.
Though those fables, which migle with genealogical enquiry, when fram
ed in opposition to fact, we occasionally catch climpses of the truth. Th
us in a MS of the Saltoun family, the son of the preceding Andrew Fras
er of Touch is allowed to have laid the foundation of the noble fami
ly of Lovat, by marrying a great heiress, though the writer, by a stran
ge and unaccountable anachronism, has made the estate descend from Sir Ale
xander the son, to Sir Andrew the father. The perusal of what follows, wi
ll clearly expose a misrepresentation so gross as to assume a man, de
ad in 1308, to be the successor of another, whose career did not termina
te till 1322 and who did not marry, moreover, till 1316.
Equally to be reprehended is the looseness of e

James Stewart was born 30 December 1394 at Dunfermline, Fife, Scot land.
He was one of the younger sons of Robert (John) III, King of Scotland,
and his wife, Anabella Drummond.
James was born into a time of disorder in S cotland. His father, King
Robert III, was a weak sovereign and as one contemp orary observed: "In
those days there was no law in Scotland, but he who was t he stronger
oppressed him who was weaker, and the whole kingdom was a den of thieves."
Young James Stewart's father, John, had become King in 1390 but due to
his frailty, had handed over authority to his brother, Robert Stewart,
E arl of Fife. Robert was an ambitious man and more concerned with his own
adva ncement than the rule of the Kingdom. Recognizing this, Robert III
(John) aga in took control of Scotland just before young James Stewart's
birth.
But Kin g Robert's talents at running the Kingdom proved abysmal, and in
1399 the gov erning of the Kingdom was passed to David Stewart, James'
older brother. Davi d was titled Duke of Rothesay, and settled down to run
the Kingdom. David's U ncle Robert, the Earl of Fife, who expected to
again rule in the King's place , was given the title of Duke of Albany in
compensation.
David proved to be irresponsible and wild, and in 1401, after two short
years of running the cou ntry, Robert III asked him to step down. He
refused, thus forcing the King to have his own son arrested. David was
placed in the custody of his uncle, Rob ert, the Duke of Albany and
imprisoned at Falkland. About this time, the moth er of James and David,
Anabella Drummond died.
Within a year, another loss b efell the royal family when David Stewart
died while in his Uncle Robert's ca ptivity. Although there were no
external marks on the young man, it appeared as though he died of
starvation. Many suspected his brothers' ambitions to th e throne were the
cause and Robert, the Duke of Albany, faced a judicial inqu iry.
The power of the Duke was great, and this led many to believe that the
results of the inquiry were predetermined, as he was very quickly
exonerated of the charge. The King's health was fading, and his remaining
son James was only eleven years old, so it was decided to send James to
France for his prot ection. Very early in 1406, young James Stewart was
loaded on to a ship of Da nzig named the Maryenknycht.
The ship never made it to France, however, as it was captured by English
'pirates' and young James was sent to the court of He nry IV of England.
Apparently, this was too much for James father, as he died on the 4th of
April 1406; at about the time the news of his son's kidnapping would have
reached him.
The Scottish Parliament immediately pronounced youn g James Stewart as
King of Scotland. But since the King was in the captivity of the English,
his Uncle Robert assumed the title as Governor of Scotland fo r the second
time. It is then that Robert Stewart's true intentions became ob vious, as
he quickly ransomed his son, Murdoch, who had been captured by the
English at the Battle of Homildon in 1402. No attempt was made to ransom
th e young King James and Murdoch Stewart returned to help his father
govern Sco tland.
The young King James I of Scotland, remained in captivity in England,
serving time in the tower, the English court and at other English
stronghold s for his 'safety'. The martial sports of jousting,
swordmanship and archery delighted him, but his captivity prevented much
of this activity. In response , he turned to his energies to the arts of
the mind. He became a linguist, mu sician, singer and an accomplished poet
.
On the 3rd of September 1420, the Gov ernor of Scotland, Robert Stewart,
Duke of Albany died. His son Murdoch Stewa rt became the new Duke of
Albany and assumed the role as Governor of Scotland . It quickly became
apparent that Murdoch did not even possess the mediocre s kills of his
father. Many of the nobles of Sco

John Beaufort, 1st Earl of Somerset (c. 1373 - March 16, 1410) was the fir
st of the four children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and his mistr
ess (later his wife) Katherine Swynford. Beaufort was born in about 1373 a
nd his surname probably reflects his birthplace, his father's Beaufort Cas
tle in Anjou, France. The family emblem was the portcullis which is sho
wn on the back of a 1p coin. John of Gaunt had his nephew Richard II of En
gland declare the Beaufort children legitimate in 1390, with the importa
nt proviso that they were barred from the succession to the throne, despi
te being the grandchildren of Edward III of England. It is thought that th
is may have been a "private" act (that is, not entered in the public recor
ds), because, in January 1397, the Duke had Parliament issue a similar dec
laration, with the same proviso. Later that month, Gaunt married Katheri
ne although they had been living apart for some years, possibly in ord
er to have their children publicly declared legitimate. While this legal w
rangling ultimately caused an enormous amount of bloodshed and destructio
n, it did result in one of the Beaufort descendants ascending the thro
ne as Henry VII.
John Beaufort was created Earl of Somerset on February 10, 1397. On Septem
ber 28 of that year he married Margaret Holland, daughter of Thomas Hollan
d, 2nd Earl of Kent; the next day he was created Marquess of Somerset a
nd Dorset. Also sometime that year he was made a Knight of the Garte
r. He lost the two marquessates in 1399 after the accession of Henry I
V. In 1404 he was Constable of England.
He and his wife had six children:
Henry Beaufort, 2nd Earl of Somerset (c. 1401 - November 25, 1418).
John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset (baptized March 25, 1404 - May 27, 144
4).
Thomas Beaufort, Earl of Perche (c. 1405 - 1432).
Joan Beaufort (c. 1406 - July 15, 1445), who married James I of Scotland.
Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset (c. 1406 - May 22, 1455).
Margaret Beaufort (c. 1409 - 1449). Married Thomas De Courtenay, 14th Ea
rl of Devon.

Margaret Holland (1385 - 30 Dec 1429) was the daughter of Thomas Hollan
d, 2nd Earl of Kent, who was the son of Joan "the Fair Maid of Kent," (wi
fe of Edward the Black Prince and mother of Richard II of England) and gra
ndson of Edward I of England. Margaret married John Beaufort, the son of J
ohn of Gaunt. They had six children, among them Joan Beaufort, Queen of Sc
otland, wife of James I of Scotland, and John Beaufort, who became the gra
ndfather of King Henry VII of England. After Beaufort died in 1410 (in t
he Tower of London), she married Thomas Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, t
he son of King Henry IV. They had no children. Margaret and both her husba
nds are buried together in a carved alabaster tomb in Canterbury Cathedr
al that shows her lying between the two of them.

son of James, 1st Lord Hamilton, and of Mary, daughter o f James II of
Scotland; he was created earl of Arran in 1503 on the occasion of the
marriage of James IV to Margaret Tudor.
Arran commanded a naval exped ition against England in 1513 but failed
lamentably and returned to find his rival, the earl of Angus, supreme at
court. He therefore allied with the duke of Albany, regent for James V,
and was himself from 1517 to 1520 one of six vice-regents. But in the
feuds of these years he had no fixed allegiance. His most spectacular
encounter was the fierce fight between the Hamiltons and th e Douglases in
the streets of Edinburgh, known as “Cleanse the Causeway” (152 0). When
James V freedhimself from the power of Angus in 1528, Arran joined h im at
Stirling.

Black Agnes Randolph (Countess of Dunbar)
c.1300 - ?
Famed for her bravery in resisting the English siege of Dunbar Castle.
Da ughter of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray (d. 1332), and wife of
Patrick, Earl of Dunbar and March, she was known as Black Agnes because
of her dark hair. When the Earl of Salisbury gave siege to Dunbar Castle
for six months in 1338 , in the absence of her husband, Agnes took charge.
In response to a request to surrender, she is said to have said:
'Of Scotland's King I haud my house,
He pays me meat and fee,
And I will keep my guDe auld house,
While my house w ill keep me.'
She resisted the battering rams and provocatively dusted off the parapets
with a handkerchief where English cannon balls had caused damage. E ven
when her brother, who had been captured by the English, was brought
bef ore the walls, she retorted that, if her attackers killed him, that
would sim ply mean she became Earl of Moray!
Black Agnes Randolph
Two generations of he roic Scotswomen supported and suffered in the Bruce
cause, nearly all of them as nameless as their sons and husbands who did
likewise.  They could all tak e heart from the example of Black Agnes
Randolph, Countess of Dunbar.  Mistre ss of the strategic Dunbar Castle,
controlling the coastal route to Edinburgh , she took charge in 1337 when
the Earl of Salisbury besieged it.
The Englis h had a battering ram, 'the Sow', covered by a wooden roof.
Agnes had a large stone dropped through the roof, scattering the men
beneath.  When her brothe r, in English custody, was brought in front of
the castle and threatened with death, she scorned them, saying if he
died, she would be the Earl of Moray.
On June 10, 1338, the English gave up and raised the seige.

Sir Reginald le Chein (nephew of John Cumyn, lord of Badenoch, who was kil
led by Bruce at Dunfries in 1305), was great chamberlain of Scotland fr
om 1267 to 1269. He was baron of Inverugie, Strabruck, &c in Aberdeenshir
e, where, as well as in Caithness-shire, he had immence estates. In 128
5, he gave the lands of Ardingy and Leuchandy, in the parish of Fyvi
e, in the former county, to the priory of Fyvie, in connection with the ab
bey of Arbreath. He is generally styled pater, to distinguish him from h
is son of the same name. Sir Reginald was one of the Magnates Scotiæ, wo c
oncurred in settling the succession of the crown on Margaret of Norway, gr
and-daughter of Alexander the Third in 1284. He was also one of the baro
ns who in 1289 addressed Edward the First of England, on the subje
ct of a marriage between the young queen of Scots and his son the prin
ce of Wales, with the view of uniting the kingdoms. He made his submissi

EARLDOM OF STRATHEARN [SCT] (VI)
MALISE, EARL OF STRATHEARN [SCT], son and heir by 2nd wife, was born cir
ca 1257. He was one of the Scottish nobles who swore (by proxy), 25 July 1
281, at Roxburgh, to observe the terms of the marriage contract between Pr
incess Margaret [SCT] and King Eric of Norway; who, after the death of Ki
ng Alexander III, acknowledged Margaret, daughter of the said Princes
s, as heir to the throne of Scotland, at Scone, 5 February 1283/4; and w
ho confirmed the treaty of marriage between the said Margaret of Norway, t
hen Queen of Scotland, and Prince Edward of England in a convention at Bir
gham, 17 March 1289/90. After Queen Margaret's death in 1290 he swore feal
ty to Edward I as his overlord at Stirling, 12 July 1291; and was a Commis
sioner for Balliol in the competition for the Scottish crown in 1292. He w
as one of the Scottish nobles summoned, 29 July, to accompany Edwa
rd I to Gascony, September 1294; and is said to have been among the Sev
en Earls who, early in 1296, raided into England and vainly besieged Carli
sle; but on the submission of Balliol, he did homage to Edward I at Stirli
ng, 19 June and at Berwick 28 August in that year. The Earl was order
ed to obey the instructions given to Hugh De Cressingham, Treasurer [SCT
], during the King's absence in Flanders, 24 May, and to continue his fait
hful services in Scotland, 26 September 1297. In the English invasion of 1
303-04 he dined with the Prince of Wales at Perth on Christmas Day and 1 J
anuary 1303/4; and was ordered by Edward I, 11 March following, to set gua
rds on the fords of the Forth and then to attend Parliament [SCT]. He w
as Lieutenant of the Warden, North of Forth, before September 130
5. On 25 August 1306 he bound himself to produce Andrew, son of the Stewa
rd of Scotland, and John, son of the Earl of Atholl, at the King's pleasur
e; but for his alleged submission to King Robert Bruce (apparently under d
uress at Inchmahome) he was imprisoned at his own charges in Rochester Cas
tle, November 1306, and thence at York, November 1307-December 1308, wh
en he was to be released on mainprize on condition that he should li
ve in England and not cross Tyne or Tweed without licence. After acquitt
al at Westminster of "malefame," he was freed from this restraint in 13
09 (after 11 June); and was in English pay at Berwick, November-December 1
310. He is said to have fought on the English siDe and to have been captur
ed by his son ex parte Bruce at the taking of Perth, 28 January 1312/3.
He married, in or before 1275, Agnes, said to be 2nd daughter of Alexand
er (COMYN), 6th EARL OF BUCHAN [SCT], by Elizabeth (or Isabel), 2nd daught
er and coheir of Roger (DE QUINCY), EARL OF WINCHESTER. He died, it is sta
ted, in 1312 (i.e. before 25 March 1312/3) and was buried in Inchaffray Ab

James Hamilton - Minister’s Son, Academic and Agent.
Rev. Hans Hamilton (1536 - 1608) was the first Protestant minister in Dunl
op, Ayrshire. Dunlop is in the East Ayrshire council district, and if y
ou visit the historic Main Street today you can still see his church, h
is mausoleum and also the significantly-named Clandeboye School building
s, all of which date from the early 1600s. He and his wife Janet had six s
ons - James, Archibald, Gawin, John, William and Patrick - and one daughte
r, Jean.
Their eldest son, James Hamilton (1559 - 1644), was educated at St Andre
ws University when Andrew Melville was Principal there. St Andrews was al
so where the first martyr of the Scottish Reformation, Patrick Hamilton, h
ad been burned at the stake on February 29th 1528, aged only 24. (Patri
ck Hamilton was nephew of the Earl of Arran and also the Duke of Alban
y; he was related to King James V of Scotland, although we are not awa
re of Patrick having any connection with either Rev Hans or James Hamilton
).
Having built a reputation as “one of the greatest scholars and hopeful wi
ts in his time”, James became a teacher in Glasgow. Around 1587 he left Sc
otland by ship and due to storms unexpectedly arrived in Dublin. He decid
ed to stay there and established a school – “The Free School” - in Ship St
reet. Hamilton was its master and he employed fellow Scot and fellow pup
il of Meville’s, James Fullerton, as usher. One of their pupils was the ei
ght year old James Ussher, who went on to become the Archbishop of Armag
h, and who famously calculated that the first day of Biblical creation w
as Sunday 23 October 4004 BC. Ussher would later take the part of the Ulst
er-Scots in their nonconformist and Presbyterian stance. Fullerton and Uss
her are buried alongsiDe each other in St Paul’s Chapel of Westminster Abb
ey in London.
In 1591, Queen Elizabeth 1 established Trinity College in Dublin, and t
he first Provost noted that Hamilton had “...a noble spirit... and learn
ed head...” and persuaded the two Scots to become Fellows of the Colleg
e. Ussher, then aged 13, followed them to Trinity. Hamilton was made Burs
ar there in 1598.
Both men were agents for King James VI of Scotland, providing him with inf
ormation about Elizabeth 1’s activities in Ireland, and perhaps even tampe
ring with the mail to keep the King, and themselves, informed. They we
re so successful that they gave up their academic positions to take up app
ointments at the royal court.
Hamilton was appointed Scottish agent to the English court of Elizabeth 1s
t, was involved in the negotiations for James VI’s succession to the Engli
sh throne, and eventually brought official news of Elizabeth’s death to Sc
otland. Fullerton was knighted when King James VI of Scotland became Ki
ng James 1 of England - at the Union of the Crowns - in 1603.
So James Hamilton had great influence with the new King James 1 - influen
ce which he would soon use to gain lands in Ulster.
MISC:
- Of his character, The Hamilton Manuscripts say  “…he was very learned, w
ise, laborious, noble (especially to strangers and scholars), so the
re is great ground to judge he was truly pious, as he was certainly well p
rincipled… his younger education seasoned him well; He was observedly a gr
eat studier of the Scripture and an enemy to profaneness… he was very char
itable to distress'd people that came in great numbers from the upper coun
trys. He was of a robust, healthfull body, and managed to the best advanta
ge ; died without sickness unexpectedly ere he finished his will…”
- James Hamilton and his wife worshipped regularly at Bangor Abbey, und
er the renowned Rev Robert Blair. Hamilton had brought Blair from Scotla
nd in 1622, and he seems to have been sympathetic towards the “non-conform
ist” stance of Blair, the majority of the Presbyterian clergy in Ulster a
nd their Ulster-Scots congregations. Hamilton famously offered to Blair

who married Margaret Bailie, daughter of the Laird of Lamington. His
descendant, Gavin H amilton, 9th of Raploch, granted to his son Claud the
lands of Bornis and Cul bowie.
He was granted a charter by his cousin James Hamilton, lord of Cadzow a nd
later 1st lord Hamilton, on 20th May 1441 for "all and whole of the lands
of Raploche" and this was "for his faithful service done, and to be done

and witnessed b y John of Hamilton, Gavin of Hamilton, the granter's

Scots Peerage writes, Vol IV, p. 347, of his so n James' acquisition of
Raploch, starting with this Walter:
"Walter of whom little is known. He is named in a charter deted 20 May
1441, by Sir James Ham ilton of Cadzow, afterwards Lord Hamilton, granting
to his cousin James Hamil ton, son of the late Walter Hamilton, the lands

ancestor of the Hamiltons of Rap loch and others. The Thomas referred to
in this connection in the "House of H amilton", and described as of

Sir Andrew De Livingston was one of the Scottish knights summoned by King
Edw ard I on May 24th 1297 to attend his expedition to Flanders. He was
killed th e same year in the revolt led by the great Scottish hero Sir
William Wallace. Sir Andrew was the Sheriff of Lanark, and it appears
that Sir William Wallac e emerged as the leader of the Scottish forces
after Sir Andrew was killed.
It is on official record that the Sheriff of Lanark was killed when
Scottish rebels burned Lanark in 1297. Blind Harry, the Minstrel, asserts
that this sh eriff was an Englishman by the name of Hesilrig; but there is
no record of su ch a man having held this office. Sir Andrew De Livingston

Drumry is first mentioned in the 1328 Exchequer rolls when the Lady of
Drumry paid the Chamberlain of Scotland one chalder of flour at the feast
of St. Martin for the freedom of her lands. It seems likely tha t this was
either Elena Livingston, who was married to Andrew Livingston; or their
daughter-in-law, Margaret, who married their son William and are
ment ioned later as lairds in 1338.
With their estates in West Lothian, the Livings tons were a powerful
family. In 1302, Andrew's brother, Sir Archibald Livings ton was listed as
only one of two Scots noblemen who supported Edward Longsha nks, the
English king, in his claim to Scotland; the other being the Earl of
Dunbar. Later that year, Robert the Bruce was also to feign loyalty to
Edwa rd – but while Robert was later to challenge Edward after the death
of his fa ther in 1304, when he had a stronger claim to the throne, the
Lothian held Li vingston lands continued to be a vital lifeline for Edward
as he tried to kee p Stirling Castle out of Bruce’s hands. Bruce was made
King in 1306. Edward L ongshanks died in 1307 and the battle against King
Robert I was taken up by t he new King of England, Edward II. Bruce took
Linlithgow when his men were hi dden under hay to penetrate the guard.
Around 1308-9, both Rutherglen and Dum barton fell to Bruce and his
allies, and given its proximity, the estate of D rumry would follow suit.
<1220 William De Livingstone REFN: 5542AN
The surname Livingston is of territorial origin derived from the lands of
tha t same name in West Lothian, just to the southwest of Edinburgh. A
Saxon by t he name of Leving settled in in the area sometime during the
reign of Edgar ( 1097-1107) and it is from him that we get the name
“Leving’s Town” or “Living ston”. Leving's grandson, William was
designated in a charter as William the Lion “of Livingston”. His
descendant, Sir William Livingston accompanied King David II on his
expedition to England in 1346 and it was from him that he ac quired the
Barony of Callendar, Stirlingshire, and whose heiress he married. These
are the “Lowland Livingstons” from whose branches descended the
Livin gstons of Dunipace, Kinnaird, Bonton and Westquarter.
The “Highland Livingston es” are of quite a different origin. The earliest
of the Highland Livingstone s were from the Isle of Lismore in the centre
of Loch Linne off the coast of Western Scotland.

<1180 Alexander Livingston REFN: 5543AN
The surname Livingston or Livingstone is of territorial origin from the
lands of that name in West Lothian deriving from a Saxon named Leving,

made a donation to that abbacy of the church of Livingston, with half a
carucate o f land, and a toft, for the welfare of his soul, wherein he is

~1060 ? De Leving REFN: 5547AN
Baron De Leving, a Saxon nobleman, accompanied St. Margaret the Exile
when sh e arrived at the Court of King Edward the Confessor in 1057.
Edward the Atheli ng or “Royal Prince” (1016 – 1057) was the eldest son of
King Edmund (II) Iro nsiDe of England. He fled to Hungary during the reign
of Canute (1016 – 1035) where he married Agatha, daughter of King
Stephen. Their daughter, St. Marga ret the Exile, was born in Hungary in
1045. After the death of her father in 1057, St. Margaret arrived at the
English court of Edward the Confessor. With her came the forebearer of
the Livingstons, a Saxon nobleman named Baron De Leving. Ten years later
following the defeat of Harold Godwinson at Hastings in 1066, St.
Margaret was in exile again. This time, she fled to Scotland, an d
apparently, Baron De Leving accompanied her. St. Margaret married King
Ma lcolm (III) Cænmore of Scotland in 1068, and was canonised in 1250. Her
feast day in Scotland is November 16.
Perhaps Baron De Leving (or more likely his f orebearer) accompanied
Edward the Atheling into exile in the early 11th centu ry; for as Mr. E.B.
Livingston argues so convincingly in The Livingstons of C allendar, Baron
De Leving was doubtless of Saxon lineage. Mr. Livingston stat es:
“... in England, long before the Norman Conquest, the patronymic Leving,
Living or Lyfing, derived from Leofing, which in modern English means
‘the s on of Leof’ – namely ‘son of the Beloved’ – was borne by numerous
persons of rank and positon as their family or tribal name. It occurs as
early as the mi ddle of the ninth century as the name of one of the
witnesses to a charter of Berthwulf of Mercia; and the Archbishop of
Canterbury who crowned Edmund Iro nsiDe in 1016, and who likewise crowned
his rival and successor Canute a few months later, also bore that name.
So did another famous Saxon churchman, the Bishop of Crediton and
Worster, and the friend of Earl Godwine, who has come to us in the words
of the old Saxon chronicler as ‘Lyfing se wordsnotera bis cop,’ namely
‘Living the eloquesnt bishop’.
Besides these two great churchme n, there are many other persons bearing
this name mentioned in, or witness to , Anglo-Saxon charters; one of these
Levings or Livings being the Staller or Master of the Horse to Edward the
Confessor.”

REV. James Alexander , a member of the Laggan Presbytery in Raphoe was imp
risoned there in 1680, which may have induced the brothers to flee to Amer
ica.
There is a well established tradition that seven Alexander brothers,Presby
terians from Scotland who had sojourned a while in the north of Ireland, p
robably at Raphoe.Co., Donegal, and Sligo,Co.,came to Somerset Co. Maryla
nd before going on to Cecil Co. If we may judge from the circumstantial ev
idence remaining,
then along with the brothers came two sisters: one, the wife of Matthew Wa
llace; the other Jane,who married John McKnitt. In Somerset,at early date
s, we find Wlliam, Andrew, Samuel, and John Alexander, and in Cecil Coun
ty James , Francis, Joseph , and the afore-mentioned Samuel Alexander. I h
azard a guess that they were sons of the Reverend James Alexander,of Rapho
e, a member of Laggan Presbytery in 1680, whoes ministerial brethern th
en in northern Ireland included David Brown, of Urney, William Trail
e, of Lifford,Thomas Wilson, of Killybegs, and William Liston, of Letterke
nny,to mention a few. I name these because one David Brown became an impor
tant civic-minded Presbyterian leader in Somerset: because William Trai
le and Thomas Wilson
soon joined Francis Makemie, "fatherof organized Presbyterianism in Americ
a", in his labor in Somerset: and because William Alexander, Sr., of Somer
set, had a grandson named for William Liston. At first in Somerset and lat
er in Cecil, we find Matthew Wallace and John McKnitt. Rev.James was bo
rn in Bughall Scotland. He went to County Donegal in(what is now) Northe
rn Ireland, and settled (probably) in Raphaoe. He was active in the Lagg
an Presbytery there. His seven sons and two da ughters left Ireland for Am
erica in the ship Welcom, landed in 21 Sep1670. Rev.James and his wife a
re presumed to have remained in Ireland.Thier children settled in Somers
et and later in Cecil County Maryland,some of them going to the New Munst
er Tract in the extreme northern part of
Cecil County (in fact part of New Munster was north of the present Maryla
nd - Pennsylvania boundary) and others settling to the south,still in Cec
il County, near the western terminus of the present Chesapeak and Delawa
re Canal. Reverand James Alexander He was a minister of the CONVOY Congreg
ation,County Donegal Ireland,from 167 8 to his death in 1704.It is believ
ed he was first a minister of Raphoe congregation County Donegal,
for a time between 1640 and 1678. Both congregations are in the Raphoe Pre
sbytery. Laggan Presbytery.
Alexander family of New Munster were orginally from Scotland. About the ti
me of James 1, they together with a large number of Presbyterians migrat
ed to Ireland and settled in Ulster. During the late 7th century several A
lexanders migrated to America and settled in Somerset Co., Md. later in Ce
cil Co., Md. They came to America on the good ship "Welcome" that anchor
ed in the Delaware River in 1679. There was an Alexander family in Somers
et Co. as early as 1666. Also John McKnitt settled there about the same ti
me.
Alexander settled in 1707 in "The Woods" between the brances of the Elk Ri
ver. Their 90 acre plantation " Glasgow" adjoined "Bullen"s Range" a tra
ct laid out for Samuel Alexander called "Sligo." "High Spaiola"(Hispaniol

Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent (1350-1397) was an English nobleman a
nd a councilor of his half-brother Richard II.
Thomas was the son of Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent and Joan of Kent. H
is mother was a daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Marg
aret Wake. Edmund was in turn a son of Edward I of England and his seco
nd Queen consort Marguerite of France. He was also a younger half-broth
er of Edward II of England.
When his father died in 1360 he became Baron Holand. His mother was sti
ll Countess of Kent in her own right. At sixteen, in 1366, Holland was app
ointed captain of the English forces in Aquitaine. He fought in various ca
mpaigns over the following years, and was made a Knight of the Garter in 1
375.
Richard II became king in 1377, and soon Holland acquired great influen
ce over his younger half-brother, which he used for his own enrichmen
t. In 1381 he was created Earl of Kent.
Holland married Alice Fitzalan, daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 10th Ea
rl of Arundel and Eleanor of Lancaster. They had seven children:
"    Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, who succeeded him
"    Edmund Holland, 4th Earl of Kent, married Constance of York
"    John Holland
"    Eleanor Holland, married first Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March a

"    Elizabeth Holland, married Sir John Neville (eldest son of Ralph Nevi
lle, 1st Earl of Westmoreland)
"    Eleanor Holland, married Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury
Through the marriages of his daughters, he became the ancestor of ma
ny of the prominent figures in the Wars of the Roses, including Richard Pl
antagenet, 3rd Duke of York and Warwick, the Kingmaker.

Edward III was 14 when he was crowned King and assumed government in his
own right in 1330. In 1337, Edward created the Duchy of Cornwall to
proviDe the h eir to the throne with an income independent of the
sovereign or the state. A n able soldier, and an inspiring leader, Edward
founded the Order of the Gart er in 1348.
At the beginning of the Hundred Years War in 1337, actual campaign ing
started when the King invaded France in 1339 and laid claim to the throne
of France. Following a sea victory at Sluys in 1340, Edward overran
Britta ny in 1342 and in 1346 he landed in Normandy, defeating the French
King, Phil ip VI, at the Battle of Crécy and his son Edward (the Black
Prince) repeated his success at Poitiers (1356).
By 1360 Edward controlled over a quarter of Fr ance. His successes
consolidated the support of the nobles, lessened criticis m of the taxes,
and improved relations with Parliament. However, under the 13 75 Treaty of
Bruges the French King, Charles V, reversed most of the English
conquests; Calais and a coastal strip near Bordeaux were Edward's only
last ing gain.
Failure abroad provoked criticism at home. The Black Death plague
outbreaks of 1348-9, 1361-2 and 1369 inflicted severe social dislocation
(the King lost a daughter to the plague) and caused deflation; severe
laws were i ntroduced to attempt to fix wages and prices. In 1376, the
'Good Parliament' (which saw the election of the first Speaker to
represent the Commons) attack ed the high taxes and criticised the King's
advisers. The ageing King withdre w to Windsor for the rest of his reign,
eventually dying at Sheen Palace, Sur rey.
1311 - 1369 Phillipa De Hainault 58 58 REFN: 5780AN 1284 - 1327 Edward II Plantagenet 43 43 REFN: 5781AN
Edward II had few of the qualities that made a successful medieval king.
Edwa rd surrounded himself with favourites (the best known being a Gascon,
Piers G aveston), and the barons, feeling excluded from power, rebelled.
Throughout h is reign, different baronial groups struggled to gain power
and control the K ing.
The nobles' ordinances of 1311, which attempted to limit royal control of
finance and appointments, were counteracted by Edward. Large debts (many
i nherited) and the Scots' victory at Bannockburn by Robert the Bruce in
1314 m aDe Edward more unpopular.
Edward's victory in a civil war (1321-2) and such m easures as the 1326
ordinance (a protectionist measure which set up compulsor y markets or
staples in 14 English, Welsh and Irish towns for the wool trade) did not
lead to any compromise between the King and the nobles.
Finally, in 1326, Edward's wife, Isabella of France, led an invasion
against her husband . In 1327 Edward was made to renounce the throne in
favour of his son Edward (the first time that an anointed king of England
had been dethroned since Eth elred in 1013). Edward II was later murdered
at Berkeley Castle.

Alias:<ALIA> /Longshanks/
King Edward I of England (June 17, 1239 – July 7, 1307), popularly kno
wn as "Longshanks" because of his 6 foot 2 inch frame and the "Hammer of t
he Scots" (his tombstone, in Latin, read, Hic est Edwardvs Primus Scottor
um Malleus, "Here lies Edward I, Hammer of the Scots"), achieved fame as t
he monarch who conquered Wales and who kept Scotland under English dominat
ion. He reigned from 1272 to 1307, ascending the throne of England on Nove
mber 21, 1272 after the death of his father, King Henry III of England. H
is mother was Queen consort Eleanor of Provence.
Biography
Edward was born at the Palace of Westminster on June 17 or 18, 1239. He ma
rried twice; his first marriage, in October 1254, was to Eleanor of Casti
le which produced sixteen children, and her death in 1290 affected Edwa
rd deeply. He displayed his grief by erecting the Eleanor crosses, o
ne at each place where her funeral cortege stopped for the night. His seco
nd marriage, in September 1299, to Marguerite of France (known as the "Pea
rl of France" by her English subjects), the daughter of King Philippe I
II of France (Phillip the Bold) and Maria of Brabant, produced three child
ren.
Edward's character greatly contrasted that of his father, who reigned in E
ngland throughout Edward's childhood and consistently tended to favour com
promise with his opponents. Edward had already shown himself as an ambitio
us and impatient man, displaying considerable military prowess in defeati
ng Simon De Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. He gained a reputat
ion for treating rebels and other foes with great savagery. He relentless
ly pursued the surviving members of the De Montfort family, his cousins.
Military campaigns
[edit]
Crusades
In 1269 Cardinal Ottobono, the Papal Legate, arrived in England and appeal
ed to Prince Edward and his brother Edmund to participate in the Eighth Cr
usaDe alongsiDe Louis IX of France. In order to fund the crusade, Edward h
ad to borrow heavily from Louis IX and the Jews of England. It is estimat
ed by scholars such as P.R. Coss that Edward raised and spent close to ha
lf a million livres. The number of knights and retainers that accompani
ed Edward on the crusaDe was quite small, possibly around 230 knights. Ma
ny of the members of Edward's expedition were close friends and family inc
luding his wife Eleanor of Castile, his brother Edmund, and his first cous
in Henry De Alamain. The original goal of the crusaDe was to relieve the b
eleagured Christian stronghold of Acre, but Louis had been diverted to Tun
is. By the time that Edward arrived at Tunis, Louis had died of disease. T
he majority of the French forces at Tunis returned home, but a small numb
er of them joined Edward who continued onward to Acre to participate in t
he Ninth Crusade. After a short stop in Cyprus, Edward arrived in Acre wi
th thirteen ships. While in Acre, Edward engaged in diplomacy with the Mon
gols hoping to form an alliance against Sultan Baibars of Egypt. This d
id not come to fruition. In 1271 Hugh III of Cyprus arrived with a conting
ent of knights. The arrival of the additional forces emboldened Edward, w
ho engaged in a raid on the town of Ququn. Soon afterward Edward sign
ed a ten year peace treaty with Baibars. Around the same time, Edward w
as nearly assassinated but warded off his attacker, according to Matthew P
aris, by bludgeoning his would be assassin with a metal tripod. Edward le
ft the Holy Land and returned to England in 1272.
Overall, Edward's crusaDe was insignificant and only gave the city of Ac
re a reprieve of ten years. However, Edward's reputation was greatly enhan
ced by his participation in the crusaDe and was hailed by some contempora
ry commentators as a new Richard the Lionheart. Furthermore, some historia
ns believe Edward was inspired by the design of the castles he saw whi

1207 - 1272 Henry III Plantagenet 65 65 REFN: 5785AN
Henry III (1 October 1207 – 16 November 1272) is one of the least-known Br
itish monarchs, considering the great length of his reign. He was also t
he first child monarch in English royal history (post-Conquest—1066).
He was born in 1207 at Winchester Castle, the son of King John of Engla
nd and Isabella of Angoulême. According to Nicholas Trevet, Henry was a th
ickset man of medium height, with a narrow forehead and a drooping left ey
elid (inherited by his son, Edward I).
Following John’s death in 1216, Henry, aged nine, was hastily crowned in G
loucester, as the barons who had been supporting the invasion of Prince Lo
uis of France in order to ensure John's deposition quickly saw the young p
rince as a safer option. Henry's regents immediately declared their intent
ion to rule by Magna Carta which they did during Henry’s minority. Magna C
arta was reissued in 1217 as a sign of goodwill to the barons. The count
ry was ruled by regents until 1227.
When Henry reached maturity, however, he was keen to restore royal authori
ty, looking towards the autocratic model of the French monarchy. Henry mar
ried Eleanor of Provence and he promoted many of his French relatives to p
ower and wealth. For instance, one Poitevin, Peter des Riveaux, held the o
ffices of treasurer of the household, keeper of the king's wardrobe, keep
er of the privy seal, and the sheriffdoms of twenty-one English counties s
imultaneously. Henry's tendency to govern for long periods with no public
ly appointed ministers who could be held accountable for their actions a
nd decisions did not make matters any easier. Many English barons ca
me to see his method of governing as foreign.
Henry himself, on the other hand, was much taken with the cult of the Angl
o-Saxon saint king Edward the Confessor who had been canonized in 1161. To
ld that St Edward dressed austerely, Henry took to doing the same and wear
ing only the simplest of robes. He had a mural of the saint painted in h
is bedchamber for inspiration before and after sleep, and, of course, he n
amed his eldest son after him. Henry designated Westminster, where St Edwa
rd had founded the abbey, as the fixed seat of power in England and Westmi
nster Hall duly became the greatest ceremonial space of the kingdom, whe
re the council of nobles also met. Henry appointed French architects fr
om Rheims for the renovation of Westminster Abbey in Gothic style, and wo
rk began at great expense in 1245. The centrepiece of Henry's renovated We
stminster Abbey was to be a shrine to the confessor king, Edward.
Henry was extremely pious, and his journeys were often delayed by his insi
stance on hearing Mass several times a day. He took so long to arri
ve on a visit to the French court that his brother-in-law, King Lou
is IX of France, banned priests from Henry's route. On one occasion, as re
lated by Roger of Wendover, when King Henry met with papal prelates, he sa
id, "If [the prelates] knew how much I, in my reverence of God, am afra
id of them and how unwilling I am to offend them, they would tramp
le on me as on an old and worn-out shoe."
Henry's advancement of foreign favorites, notably his wife's Savoyard uncl
es and his own Lusignan half-siblings, was unpopular among his subjects a
nd barons. He was also extravagant and avaricious; when his first child, P
rince Edward was born, Henry demanded the Londoners bring him rich gif
ts to celebrate, and even sent back gifts that did not please him. Matth
ew Paris reports that some said, "God gave us this child, but the king sel
ls him to us."
Henry's reign came to be marked by civil strife, as the English barons l
ed by De Montfort demanded more say in the running of the kingdom. French-
born Simon De Montfort had originally been one of the foreign upstar
ts so loathed by many as Henry's foreign councillors; after he married Hen
ry’s sister Eleanor without consulting Henry, a feud developed between t
he two.

Sir Malcom Wallace b 1220.
When he was a young man he was made a Baron, a titl e of nobility giv
en to those, only, who had acquired possessions, sometimes by purchase, so
metimes by inheritance, and sometimes because of valuable services rendere
d. Upon receiving the title of Baron, a man automatically became a memb
er of the House of parliament, and of course, had part in making of the la
ws. Malcolm received from his father, Adam, vast estates in and around A
yr and Elderlie, because it was the custom in those days that a faithful e
lder son should become his father's successor. It is said that the estat
es of Elderlie are in possession of the Wallace descendants to this day (1
961) or nearly 5 centuries later. Malcom, later, was given the title of Kn

dence. It will be remembered at the time that the people of Scotland we
re under control of England and were in dire distress because of English O
ppression. Immediately upon receiving the Honor of Kighthood, he changed t
he spelling of the name to "W allace". His family was the first to have t
he name that has come down through the centuries to the present days. In n
oting the difference in ages between the first two sons (22 years), it sug
gests that perhaps daughters were born to their parents, but as was the cu

As his brother Adam recieved Riccarton, Malcolm Wallace recieved thelan

He was possibly born at Riccarton, but the sources are unclear. Malcolm di

The great Scot Patriot who fought King Edward I Longshanks for Scottish
indep endence.
William Wallace (c1270 - 1305)
William Wallace is one of Scotland's greatest national heroes, undisputed
leader of the Scottish resistance forces during the first years of the
long and ultimately successful struggle to fre e Scotland from English
rule at the end of the 13th Century.
Records of Wall ace's life are patchy and often inaccurate. This is partly
because early acco unts of his heroic deeds are speculative, and partly
because he inspired such fear in the minds of English writers at the
time, that they demonised him, h is achievements, and his motives.
Many of the stories surrounding Wallace have been traced to a late-15th
Century romance "The Wallace", ascribed to Henry the minstrel, or "Blind
Harry". This epic is vehemently anti-English in langu age and tone. The
most popular tales about Wallace are not supported by docum entary
evidence, but they show his firm hold on the imagination of his people .
He represented the spirit of the common man striving for freedom against
oppression, and exposed the Scottish nobility of the time as a group of
unpri ncipled opportunists.
Wallace's place as a hero in Scottish history is assured . There can be
little doubt that he has always been revered as a self-effacin g and
passionate patriot by later generations of Scots. Unlike the conniving
Scottish nobles who had collaborated with the English in return for
financi al benefits, Wallace had never sought personal fame nor benefited
from it. He had accrued neither wealth nor land.
Wallace was born in around 1270, probabl y near Ellerslie (now Elderslie),
in Ayrshire, Scotland. His father was Sir M alcolm Wallace, Laird of
Elderslie and Auchinbothie, a small landowner and li ttle-known Scottish
knight. [Note: in 1999 the seal of Sir Wallace was transl ated from the
archaic latin. On his seal it says he is the son of 'Alan'.] Hi s mother
is believed to have been the daughter of Sir Hugh Crawford, Sheriff of
Ayr, and he is thought to have had an elder brother, also called Malcolm.
Because he was the second son, William did not inherit his father's title
o r lands.
At the time of Wallace's birth, Alexander III had already been on
S cotland's throne for over twenty years. His reign had seen a period of
peace, economic stability, and prosperity and he had successfully fended
off contin uing English claims to suzerainty. King Edward I (known as
Edward "Longshanks ") came to the throne of England in 1272, two years
after Wallace was born.
There is almost no reliable information about William Wallace's early
life. H e is said to have spent his childhood at Dunipace, near Stirling,
under the s upervision of his uncle, who was a priest. Wallace probably
led a comfortable and peaceful life as the son of a nobleman. He and his
brother Malcolm must also have trained in the martial arts of the time, -
including horsemanship a nd swordsmanship. Contemporary chroniclers say
that William was a large, powe rful man. He reportedly stood more than six
and a half feet tall, - a veritab le giant at a time when the average
height of an infantryman was only slightl y more than five feet.
Carrick, in his Life of Sir William Wallace of Eldersli e, consolidates
some of the available historical descriptions of Wallace as f ollows:
"His visage was long, well-proportioned, and exquisitely beautiful; hi s
eyes were bright and piercing, the hair of his head and beard auburn, and
inclined to curl; that on his brows and eyelashes was of a lighter shade.
Hi s lips were round and full. His stature was lofty and majestic, rising
head a nd shoulders above the tallest men in the country. Yet his form,
though gigan tic, possessed the most perfect symmetry, and with a degree
of strength almos t incredible, there was combined such an agility of body
and fleetness in run ning that no-one, except when mounted on horseba

NOTES ON A DEED BY LADY MARGARET DOUGLAS OF LOCHLEVEN. DATED 16TH OCTOB
ER 1560. BT CHARLES HENDERSON, S.S.C., F.S.A. SCOT.
I had occasion sometime ago to make an investigation into the history of c
ertain lands in the parish of Cameron, in Fifeshire, belonging to Colon
el John Anstruther Thomson of Charleton, and in doing so I found the Dee
d, which is exhibited by his kind permission.
In the phraseology of feudal conveyancing, it is a Procuratory of Resignat
ion. In other words, it is a warrant granted by Lady Douglas the own
er of certain lands in Fifeshire, for the purpose of rendering these ba
ck to the Over Lord or Feudal Superior, with the view of his giving a n
ew Grant or Charter to George Lermonth of Balcomy, in the east of Fife, t
he purchaser from her. In short, the object of the Deed is to effect a tra
nsfer of the lands from Lady Douglas to Mr. George Lermonth.
That which I deem to be interesting in this Deed, consists mainly in its b
eing granted by, and thus bearing the signature of, a lady who, and who
se children, were conspicuous in the tragic events of Scottish history whi
ch transpired within a few years after its date.
The granter of the Deed was Lady Margaret Erskine, then the widow of Sir R
obert Douglas of Lochleven. It was signed by her at Lochleven in her maid
en name of "Margaret Erskyn," and as Lady of Lochleven. It was not unusu
al for married ladies to sign their maiden names at this date, and it w
as a general custom to do so when they became widows. Lady Margaret Dougl
as was the mother of the Regent Murray, who, as is well known, was an ille
gitimate son of James the Fifth. It so happens that he (the son) is nam
ed in the Deed as "ane nobill and mighty Lord James Stewart," and Lady Dou
glas authorised her procurators and agents to appear before him as the sup
erior of the lands, he, holding such character as "commendator of Saint An
drews, and Convent of ye same." Lady Douglas was also the mother of Sir Wi
lliam Douglas of Lochleven, to whose custody Queen Mary was committed in h
is castle at Lochleven on 17th June 1567. Lady Douglas herself lived at Lo
chleven Castle during Queen Mary's imprisonment, and was practically the c
ustodian of the Queen's person. Further, it was her son George Douglas, wh
o, with Lord Seton and Sir James Hamilton, aided the Queen's escape to Nid
drie Castle on 2nd May 1568, and afterwards to Hamilton, and fought for h
er at LangsiDe on the 13th of that month; while the elder brother Sir Will
iam Douglas took part with the Regent's army, and is said, by his skill a
nd bravery, to have materially contributed to the defeat of the Queen's fo
rces, which proved the ruin of her cause, and the preluDe of her doom.
In the opening of the 21st chapter of the Abbot, Sir Walter Scott giv
es a graphic description of Lady Douglas.
We do not expect historical accuracy even in Sir Walter Scott's Novels, b
ut I may notice that Sir Walter speaks of Lady Douglas as the wife of S
ir William Douglas, which this Deed proves to be a mistake, as she describ
es herself in it as the widow of Sir Robert Douglas. Sir William Douglas w
as her eldest son. however, it is more important to notice that Princip
al Robertson, in his History of Scotland, states that Lady Douglas was t
he wife of Sir William, to whom Queen Mary was committed, while in fact s
he was his mother (Book 5). Mr Tytler and Mr Burton, however, give the tr
ue account of the relationship, and this Deed confirms them.
In thinking of the personages named in the Deed under consideration, and t
he time when it was granted, one is reminded how memorable a year 1560 w
as in Scottish history. In it Mary of Lorraine, the Queen Regent of Scotla
nd, died. In it the French forces, which had come to the aid of the Que
en Regent against the Lords of the Congregation, as well as Queen Elizabet
h's troops, which were in Scotland to aid these Lords, both departed fr

Burial: Henry VII Chapel, Westminster, Abbey, England.
Reign (1485-1509) troubled by revolts, sometimes involving pretenders.
Formed 'Yeomen of the Guard' (oldest military corps in existence today).
Strengthened the power of the monarchy & scrutinized finances &efficiency.
Average Royal income went from ?52,000 to ?142,000 by end of his reign.
Henry spent money shrewdly and left a full treasury on his death in 1509.
There were four children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, by his mistr
ess, Catherine (Roet) Swynford, whom Gaunt later married (on 13January 139
6) as his third wife, at which time their four (grown) children were legit
imized, taking the surname Beaufort. After John of Gaunt's death, howeve
r, the four Beauforts were barred from succession to the English thro
ne by their half-brother King
Henry IV. Nevertheless, John Beaufort's (the eldest of the four childre
n) great-grandson Henry (VII) Tudor was able to win the throne in1485 part
ly by virtue of his descent, through John Beaufort from the Lancastrian Pl
antagenets. (it also helped enormously that he married a Yorkist Plantagen
et Princess).
REF: British Monarchy Official Website: Although supported by Lancastria
ns and Yorkists alienated by Richard III's usurpation, Henry VII's first t
ask was to secure his position. In 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, elde
st daughter of Edward IV, thus uniting the Houses of York and Lancaster. H
enry's reign(1485-1509) was troubled by revolts, sometimes involving prete
nders (such as Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel) who impersonated Edwa
rd V or his brother. In 1485, Henry formed a personal bodyguard from his f
ollowers known as the 'Yeomen of the Guard' (the oldest military cor
ps in existence today).
Henry strengthened the power of the monarchy by using traditional metho
ds of government to tighten royal administration and increase revenues (re
portedly including a daily examination of accounts). Royal income rose fr
om an annual average of ?52,000 to ?142,000 by the end of Henry'sreign. Li
ttle cooperation between king and parliament was required; during Henry
's reign of 24 years, seven parliaments sat for some ten and a half month
s. Henry used dynastic royal marriages to establish his dynasty in Englan
d, and help maintain peace. One daughter, Margaret, wasmarried to Jam
es IV of Scotland (from whom Mary, Queen of Scots and her son, Jam
es VI of Scotland and James I of England, were descended); the other daugh
ter married Louis XII of France. Henry spent money shrewdly and left a fu
ll treasury on his death in 1509.
-----------------------------
Though it did not seem so at the time, 22 August 1485 remains a seminal da
te in the history of English monarchy, for it ushered in the House of Tud
or and, ever since, the crown of England has remained in the line of the h
eirs of Henry Tudor, the victor at Bosworth Field. A dynasty was born. Hen
ry was head of the House of Lancaster through his remarkable mother, Marga
ret Beaufort, and he soon strengthened his claim to the throne of Engla
nd by Parliamentary approval and by his marriage with Elizabeth of York w
ho was destined to bear him three sons and four daughters, though only the
ir second son, Henry, and their eldest and third daughters, Margaret and M
ary re­spectively, were to survive their parents. Henry VIII was to beco
me so desperate to beget a healthy male heir that he divorced his first wi
fe to the consternation of Christendom and be­headed the second before emb
arking on four further marriages, the last three of them child­less, and l
eft, like his father, a son and two daughters. These all died without issu
e, yet their combined reigns lasted from 1547 to 1603, when James VI of Sc
otland, great-grandson of Henry VII's daughter Margaret, came s

St. Vladimir the Great, Grand Prince of Kiev
Born in 960
Acceded in 978
Died on July 15 1015 at Kiev
Vladimir was a pagan at the beginning of his reign, which was at
first devoted to consolidating his terr itories into a unified Russian
state. By the early 10th century, however, Kie van Rus had established
close commercial and cultural ties with the Byzantine Empire, an Orthodox
Christian state.  He converted in 988 to Orthodox Christ ianity and made
Orthodoxy the official religion of Kievan Rus.  Vladimir's ch oice of
Orthodox Christianity, rather than the Latin church (Roman Catholicis m)
or Islam, had an important influence on the future of Russia.
Vladimir's choice between the Christian and Islamic faiths was said to
have been heavily influenced by the fact that he enjoyed the consumption
of alcoholic beverage s.  The Christian faith allowed for this and the
Islamic faith did not.  Henc e, Validimir chose Christianity.
St. Vladimir married in 980 to  Rogneda von P olotzk, a Nun and a daughter
of Rognald of Polotzk.  Rogneda died in 1002.
S t. Vladimir and Rogneda the Nun had the following children:
Yaroslav I the Wis e, Grand Prince of Kiev
Vissavald of Kiev
Iasaslav, Prince of Polotzk
Mtsisl av, Grand Prince Tschernigow
Premislava
Sviataslav
Sudislav, Prince of Pskow
Wizeslau, Prince of Novgorod
St. Vladimir married after 1011 to Malfreda of Bohemia, a daughter of
Kuno, Count of Ohningen, by RichilDe who was a daughte r of Otto I the
Great, King of Germany.
St. Vladimir and Malfreda had a daug hter:
Dobroniega who married in 1038 to King Casimir I, King of Poland.

Died in 972 , ambushed and killed.
Svyatoslav was only about three years old when his fath er Igor was
murdered in 945, hence his mother St. Olga acted as Regent of Kie v until
964. Olga's first official act was to wreak vengeance on the Drevlane s
who had murdered her husband by besieging and burning their town of
Koros ten. In 957 Olga went with a large retinue to Constantinople,
accepted Christ ianity, and received baptism.
In 964, Svyatoslav took over the government, alt hough his mother
continued to administer home affairs until her death in 970. Svyatoslav
led Kievan Rus's military conquest of the Bulgars, responding t o attacks
by the Khazar tribe.  He in turn was ambushed and killed by Byzanti nes
from Pecheneg in the south, who, according to legend, converted
Svyatos lav's skull into a drinking vessel.

Rurik is a legendary figure, but rather less legendary than many early
Swedis h and Danish kings. The chronology seems relatively unproblematic,
and Rurik could well have been a contemporary of Ragnar Lodbrok (on the
most likely dat ing for him, 860-865). He ruled from, and reportedly
founded, the city of Nov gorod. In his time Kiev was also founded, in the
course of an expedition to C onstantinople, where Varangians are said to
have arrived as early as 839. In short order the center of Russian power
moved to Kiev, and further attempts o n Constantinople were made. As these
were usually rebuffed, sometimes with he avy losses (e.g. 971), a new
modus vivendi was struck -- peaceful trade. When Rurik's own
daughter-in-law, Helga, or Olga as it would become in Russian, v isited
Constantinople and converted to Christianity, the way of the future be gan
to open up. Although the Russian Varangians were assimilating with the
Slavs quickly, as late as Mstislav I the rulers are still well aware of
their Norse origins and have Scandinavian names as well as Slavic ones --
in his c ase Harald (which also happened to be the name of his English
grandfather).
Rurik, Grand Prince of Kiev
Born circa 800
Died in 879
Rurik, the Viking lea der who is traditionally credited with founding
the Russian state, was born i n Friesland, a region in present-day
Holland, which his father controlled. Af ter leading raids in France,
England, and Germany, Rurik gained control of a large tract of land in
Jutland. However, he soon abandoned his claim under pr essure from rival
chieftains.
In the 850s, Rurik and his brothers Sineus and Truvor led a band of
Vikings into northwestern Russia where they established a settlement near
Lake Ladoga in what is now northeastern Russia very near t he border with
Finland. Rurik soon moved part of the settlement to nearby Nov gorod,
according to legend, at the invitation of the local Slavs. There he
established the seat of his power and built a fortress from which he
could ru le the Russian lands. His rule extended as far south as Kiev
where his succes sors founded the powerful Kievan state, which lasted
until the 1200s.
From R urik came the house of Rurikovitch which ruled Russia until the
end of the 16 th century.

Killed at the Battle of Harlaw.
This battle, regarded by many today as the conflict between Highlanders
and L owlanders which killed the expansion of Gaelic influence, was one of
the most brutal in Scottish history, becoming known as ‘Red Harlaw’.
While James I was growing up in English jails, Donald, Lord of the Isles
made it his business to secure the Earldom of Ross’ estates before the
Stewarts or Albany, the Governor of Scotland could, bringing his army
westwards into Inverness and over the River Spey.
It may well have also been his desire to plunder and destroy A berdeen.
His advance was met two miles past Inverurie at Harlaw. Coming from t heir
north-eastern lands were a force of Keiths, Forbes', Leslies and Irvines ,
led by the Earl of Mar. They battled for most of 24 July until Donald’s
m en withdrew.
There were no winners or losers on the day but when James I returned to
Scotland in April 1424 he quickly set about routing his foes.

Lady Eleanor Bruc e (died 22 June 1368), daughter of Alexander Earl of
Carrick and Margaret Doug las; married (2) before 18 Apr 1369, Margaret.
William died between Dec 1396 a nd Jul 1399.
William was Hugh's successor and was probably his son. He was cre ated
Earl of Carrick in 1361 by King David II Bruce, probably by virtue of
ma rrying Lady Eleanor Bruce, cousin to the King. She ought not to have
received the title as it was restricted to the male-line heirs of Edward
Bruce, but exc eption was made for her. This title reverted to the Crown
on the death of Lady Eleanor, in William's own lifetime. Some sources
doubt the existence of Elean or but do not explain how William could
otherwise become earl.
Burke notes: " The charter in his favour is on record, and singularly
incomplete, as if there had been a doubt as to the propriety of the
grant:- 'David, D.G. Rex Scottoru m, sciatus nos dedisse concessisse et
hac presenti-carta confirmasse dilicto c onsanguineo nostro Willielmo de
Cuninghame militi totum comitatum De Carryk.' ". The charter is not dated
but was probably written at Aberdeen on 12 Septemb er 1361.

Sir James Sandilands, of Sandilands, Clydesdale, confirmed to him 18 Dec 1
348 by his brother-in-law William, Lord Douglas, as also by the same pers
on the lands of Calder; married by 1349, as her 2nd husband of five, Elean
or, only sister of 1st Earl of Douglas and widow of Alexander Bruce, 1st a
nd last Earl of Carrick of the c1330 creation, and died by 1358. [Burke
's Peerage]
The name Sandilands is derived from the lands of Sandilands in the upper w
ard of Clydesdale, which together with the lands of Reidmyre were confirm
ed upon to James of Sandilands by William, Lord Douglas in 1348.
The barony of Calder and the lands of Bengowre (Bangour), Co. Edinburgh, w
ere bestowed upon James of Sandilands (1st feudal baron) by William, Lo
rd Douglas in free marriage with Eleanor de Bruce (William's sister). Beca
use of this marriage the Douglas arms were quartered by the Lords of Calde
r, and the Sandilands subsequently became in law the hiers-general of t
he house of Douglas.
In 1350 Pope Clement VI granted an indult to James of Sandilands and his w
ife to choose confessors in the usual form. When James died in 1358 his wi
dow had safe conduct for herself and four maids, with ten horses, to pa
ss to the parts of England on a pilgrimage to the shrines of the saints, d
ocument dated at Westminster 14 May 1358.
The actual house at Calder, once known as Caldour Castle, is the family se
at of the Sandilands (subsequently Sandilands/Torphichen) family, and situ
ated in Midcalder, Midloathian - not far from Torphichen preceptory. The o
riginal building dates from 1335 and much of the old castle is embodi
ed in the present structure. As part of its fortifications certain walls a
re eight to nine feet thick. The castle naturally has an interesting histo
ry, having spanned so many centuries and remaining in the hands of one fam
ily for so long.
Near to Calder House (Caldour Castle) is Calder Church (Caldour Kirk) whi
ch was granted by Duncan, Earl of Fife in about 1150 to the Abbey of Dunfe
rmline. Its beautiful choir and vestry date from 1537 and was the resu
lt of the piety of Peter Sandilands (second son of Sir James Sandilands, 5
th feudal baron of Calder), the last Catholic rector of Calder Church. Pet
er had begun the rebuilding of the church some time before his death and e
ntrusted its completion to his nephew. Sadly for Peter Sandilands the Cald
er church ceased to be Catholic after he died in 1549, and was Protesta
nt thereafter.
One of the more interesting marriages involving the family was between t
he Sir James Sandilands of Calder (2nd feudal baron) and Princess Jean, da
ughter of King Robert II of Scotland. [Previously Princess Jean had been t
he widow of Sir John Lyon of Glamis.] It is through the marriage of Sir Ja
mes Sandilands (2nd feudal baron) to Princess Jean that the Sandilands fam
ily of Calder has descent from the Stuarts (Stewarts).
Their son, Sir John Sandilands (3rd feudal baron of Calder) was thus the g
randson of King Robert II of Scotland. As Robert II was a direct ancest
or of King James VI (James I of England) Sir John Sandilands is a dista
nt great nephew of King James and an even greater distant great neph
ew of Queen Elizabeth II.
Similarly, as King Robert II was the grandson of King Robert I - the famo
us Robert the Bruce - Sir John Sandilands was the latter's great-great-gra
ndson.
With the arrival of the Reformation the Sandilands of Calder were so
on to become Lords of Torphichen. At that time Sir James Sandilands (seco
nd son of 7th feudal baron of Calder), was a Knight of St John and pri
or of the Torphichen Preceptory (the centre of the Order of St John in Sco
tland). After the English Crown suppressed the Order in England in 1540 (a
nd Ireland in 1547) the only preceptory left belonging to the Knigh
ts of St John was Torphichen. As a result for almost twenty-five years (fr
om 1540 to 1564) Torphichen Preceptory under Sir Jam

Over a span of seventy ears or so, history gives no acccount of this remna

wn old, living in the castle of Craigie. It is remembered that he was bo

The Hunterston Hunters gained a charter for the Ayrshire area in which Hun
terston is built, on the 2 May 1374 from Robert II. The charter was giv
en to William Hunter, for his faithful service to the King, for a char
ge of a silver penny ( which is still kept in Hunterson, if ever the payme
nt is asked for). At that time William Hunter was the tenth Laird of the H
unter Clan, in other words he was their tenth Clan Leader, Head or Lord.
The Hunters earliest recorded historical appearance was in the Ragman Ro
ll in 1296 where William and Norman Hunter signed allegiance to the Edwa
rd I of England, although they used the Latin form of their name, Venator.
But a major strand of the name was a Norman family of Hunters who settl
ed in Ayrshire in the 13th century, giving their name to the village of Hu
nter's Toune - now Hunterston. A parchment, signed by King Robert II in 13
74 confirming ownership to William Hunter (the 10th owner), still surviv
es there. The rent was a silver penny and to this day the Laird of Hunters
ton keeps silver pennies from the reign of Robert II - just in case the mo
narch drops by looking for the rent!
Yone Venatore witnessed a charter in Beauly in 1231 and Adam Hunter was gr
anted a hereditary office in the lands of Newbattle Abbey in 1259. In 13
27 Maurice Hunter was provost of Stirling and Aymon Hunter was burge
ss of Cullen on the Moray Firth.
In the 15th century the Ayrshire family were hereditary keepers of the roy
al forests in Arran and Little Cumbrae in the ClyDe estuary. John Hunte
r, the 14th Laird, died at the Battle of Flodden in 1523 and John's grands
on was killed at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547. The 20th Laird graduated fr
om Glasgow University in 1643. Robert Hunter, a grandson of the 20th Lai
rd became Governor of Virginia and then New York. Hunterston House, an ele
gant manor, was built in the late 18th century. The present chief of the f
amily, recognised by the Lord Lyon, is the 30th. At one stage the Hunte
rs of Polmood challenged the precedence of the Hunterston line but this w
as rejected as they had never been styled "of that ilk."
Gilbert De Venables (Venator, Veneur, Hunter,) was from Venables, Evre
ux in Normandy in the barony of Le Veneurs so named because they were here
ditary huntsmen to the Dukes of Normandy. Gilbert was a palatine Bar
on to Hugh Lupus, held the barony of Kinderton in Cheshire. Many lines a
nd surnames were descended, including the Butlers of Chester. Richard w
as also palatine Baron of Hugh Lupus, and became Barons of Warrington. Ano
ther brother, Raoul, was baron of Chester, held in capite, and ancest
or of the Grosvenors, Dukes of Westminster, Earls of Wilton and Lords of E
lbury. The Hunter family moved north into Scotland where William Venator w
itnessed a charter by Earl David, later King David in 1124 and this fami
ly generally assumed the surname of Hunter. Venables became a prominent Ch
eshire and Lancashire surname, but Hunter had already achieved a large foo
thold in Cheshire before the move north with the Domesday Book showing Gil
bert Hunter holding Brereton, Davenport, Kinderton and Witton (Northwich s
uburb) and Ralph Hunter holding Stapleford in Cheshire and Soughton in Wal
es.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMM ARY:
William Brewster was the Reverend Elder of the Pilgrim's church at
Plym outh, since their pastor John Robinson remained behind in Leyden,
Holland wit h the majority of the congregation which planned to come to
America at a late r time.  Brewster was a fugitive from the King of
England, because he had pub lished a number of religious pamphlets while
in Leyden which were critical or opposed the tenets of the Church of
England.  He had been a member of the Se paratist church movement from its
very beginning, and was the oldest Mayflowe r passenger to have
participated at the First Thanksgiving, in his early fift ies.
William Bradford wrote a lot about William Brewster in Of Plymouth
Plan tation, some of which follows:
After he had attained some learning, viz. the k nowledge of Latin tongue,
and some insight in the Greek, and spent some small time at Cambridge,
and then being first seasoned with the seeds of grace and virtue, he went
to the court, and served that religious and godly gentleman, Mr. Davison,
divers years, when he was Secretary of State; who found him so discreet
and faithful as he trusted him above all other that were about him, and
only employed him in all matters of greatest trust and secrecy . . . he
attended his mr. when he was sent in ambassage by the Queen into the Low
Cou ntries . . . And, at his return, the States honored him with a gold
chain, an d his master committed it to him, and commanded him to wear it
when they arri ved in England, as they rid through the country, till they
came to the court . . . Afterwards he went and lived in the country, in
good esteem amongst his friends and the gentlemen of those parts,
especially the Godly and religious .  He did much good in the country
where he lived, in promoting and furtherin g religion not only by his
practise and example, and provocating and encourag ing of others, but by
procuring of good preachers to the places thereabouts, and drawing on of
others to assist and help forward in such work; he himself most commonly
deepest in the charge, and sometimes above his ability. . . . T hey
ordinarily met at this house on the Lord's day, (which was a manor of the
bishops) and with great love he entertained them when they came, making
pr ovision for them to his great charge.  He was the chief of those that
were ta ken at Boston, and suffered the greatest loss; and of the seven
that were kep t longest in prison, and after bound over . . . After he
came into Holland he suffered much hardship, after he had spent the most
of his means, having a g reat charge, and many children; and, in regard of
his former breeding and cou rse of life, not so fit for many employments
as others were, especially as we re toilsome and laborious.  But yet he
ever bore his condition with much chee rfulness and contention.  Towards
the later part of those 12 years spent in H olland, his outward condition
was mended, and he lived well and plentifully; for he fell into a way to
teach many students, who had a desire to learn the English tongue, to
teach them English; . . . He also had means to set up prin ting, by the
help of some friends . . . and by

Robert De Clifford (c. 1275 – 1314), was the 1st Baron De Clifford.
He was a son of Roger De Clifford (d. 1282), inherited the estates of h
is grandfather, Roger De Clifford, in 1286; then he obtained through his m
other part of the extensive land of the Viponts, and thus became one of t
he most powerful barons of his age. A prominent soldier during the reig
ns of Edward I and Edward II, Clifford was summoned to parliament as a bar
on in 1299, won great renown at the siege of Carlaverock Castle in 1300, a
nd after taking part in the movement against Edward II's favourite, Pie
rs Gaveston, was killed at Bannockburn.
His son Roger became the 2nd baron Baron De Clifford.

Vivian says "only child", yet the IGI/LDS Ancestral File list 3 more child

Sir Robert played a significant part at the Battle of Bannockburn on Ju

"Gang cry the hounds o' Douglas Vale,
Gang string your Ettrick bows,
Gang warn the spears o' Liddesdale,
That Edward leads the foe.
There is a legend that in the days when he was a fugitive king harried fr
om one hiding place to another, when all his friends and family seem
ed to be either dead or rotting in English gaols, the Bruce found himse
lf completely alone and hiding in a cave somewhere in the west of Scotlan
d. So many times he had raised armies only to see them destroyed or scatte
red and as he lay on the damp floor of the cave he must have been dispirit
ed beyond imagination, the bitter taste of despair welling up in his thro
at and onto his tongue. It was then that he saw a spider. Foolish creatur
e, it seemed intent on spinning its web across an impossibly wide space a
nd as the Bruce watched the spider leapt and failed, again and again. S
ix times it jumped and six times it failed but on the seventh attempt it s
ucceeded. The Bruce took heart from this example of arachnid perseveran
ce and rose once more determined to see his quest for the throne fulfille
d. The quest led him directly to the banks of the Bannock Burn and the bat
tle that would decide his throne's, his country's, his family's  and his o
wn fate
Imagine if you will a great castle, standing a few miles distant, perch
ed on a rocky outcrop 400 feet above the plain. There is an old Roman ro
ad in front of you and it runs northward to the castle through an open ar
ea called the New Park. The western edge of the New Park is heavily wood
ed to the left of the road and on the east, sometimes a thousand yards fr
om the road sometimes only two hundred an escarpment drops down about a hu
ndred feet. A path, known as the the Way, roughly parallels the base of t
he escarpment and runs on to join the Roman road about a mile from the cas
tle. Directly in front of you a stream, the Bannock Burn, flows from we
st to east across the road and then turns to meander in a general north-ea
sterly direction across a plain of soft at times marshy land to a confluen
ce with the River Forth about four miles east of the castle. This is appro
ximately what Edward II saw when his army arrived after a five day march f
rom its assembly point at Wark. They had reached Falkirk and camped the
re on the night of the July 22nd and by the rules of Mowbray and Edward Br
uce's agreement there were still two days in which to relieve the castl
e. With such a powerful army and two days to spare Edward II must have fe

MAURICE FITZGERALD, son and heir, born circa 1190. He was knighted in Ju
ly 1217. As Maurice FitzGerald, lord of Lea, the younger, he was one of t
he formal witnesses to a covenant of dower made in the great church of Na
as in March 1227. In October 1229 he was summoned to London, to accompa
ny the King's expedition to Poitou and Gascony. He was appointed Justici
ar of Ireland 2 (or 4) September 1232. His good fame was damaged in 12
34 by the report that it was he who (ultimately because the wounded Earl w
as in his care] contrived the death of Richard (Marshal), Earl of Pembrok
e. In February 1234/5 the King wrote criticising FitzGerald's proceedin
gs in office. He was several times summoned to England as justiciar, to gi
ve counsel upon the affairs of Ireland. In 1245 he laid the foundatio
ns of Sligo Castle, and on 4 November of that year was superseded in offi
ce by the appointment of John FitzGeoffrey. The King appears afterwar
ds to have regretted the loss of a councillor saved by distance from parti
sanship on the sore question of his foreign favourites. In 1250 FitzGera
ld was a commissioner of the Treasury, and of the Council [IRL]. In Janua
ry and February 1250/1 he was at Court in England. In January 1253/4 he re
ceived an urgent summons from the King. He is said to have married Julian
e. He died in 1257, at the monastery of Youghal, which he had founded, a
nd was buried there. [CP 10:14-16]

ROBERT DE TREGOZ was probably the son of William DE TREGOZ (who owed the s
ervice of 1½ knights in the Cotentin in 1172), and may also have been t
he man of that name who was a partisan of the young King Henry (eldest s
on of Henry II) in 1173 and attested his charters in 1175. [Complete Peera
ge XII/2:17-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
Note: CP does not indicate any parents for William, father of Robert de Tr
egoz of Ewyas. However the line by Dave Utzinger indicates that William w
as the son of "Le Sire de Tregoz" who fought at the Battle of Hastings. Cl
early Robert, being born around 1169 or not more than a decade before, wou
ld not be the grandson of a man born before 1047 (in order to fight in 106
6), but he might be the great grandson. Therefore I am making William a s
on of William, son of "Le Sire de Tregoz".
TREGOZ (of Ewyas Harold)
Observations.-There can be little doubt that the families of Tregoz, centr
ed in East Anglia and south-east England in the 12th century, were relate
d, and it is very probable that the Tregoz lords of Ewyas Harold, co. Here
ford, were also connected with these families. The name comes from Troisgo
ts: Manche, arr. St. Lô, cant. Tessy-sur-Vire [Complete Peerage XII/2:16].
ROBERT DE TREGOZ was probably the son of William DE TREGOZ (who owed the s
ervice of 1½ knights in the Cotentin in 1172), and may also have been t
he man of that name who was a partisan of the young King Henry (eldest s
on of Henry II) in 1173 and attested his charters in 1175. Robert was acti
ve in Normandy during the reigns of Richard I and John. He was with the Ki
ng there in 1190 and during the years 1194-99, being called the King's Ste
ward in 1194; and was bailiff of the Cotentin in 1195 and 1197, and und
er John. An agreement made between King Richard and the Count of Flande
rs in 1197 was witnessed by Robert, who in 1200 was at the determinati
on of the bounds between Evreux and Neufbourg after the peace between Ki
ng John and Philip Augustus. During the years 1200-04 he was warden of t
he castles of Gavray, Neaufle and Similly, and custodian of the lands of S
imon Pevilene; and in November 1204 he went on royal business to Flander
s. He remained faithful to the English Crown after 1204, and his escheat
ed lands in Trégots, Favarches and St. Romphaire were granted by Philip Au
gustus to Miles de Lévis, November 1218. Robert went to the continent on r
oyal business with William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, in the spring of 120
5. He was also active in England, holding many offices during the rei
gn of Richard I. The castle of Salisbury was in his care, 1190-94, and aga
in in 1198 and 1199; he was keeper of the royal houses at Clarendon, 1190-
93, and sheriff of Wiltshire in 1191. He farmed Gastard, in Corsham, Wilt
s, 1191-94, was granted money from Warminster in 1193, and farmed the lan
ds of Geoffrey Hose in Wilts, 1197-1200. He also farmed Bristol, 1196-9
9. Robert answered for the lands of Alan de Hairun in 1200, was granted es
tates, in payment of the King's debts to him, at Pencombe, co. Herefor
d, in 1205, and in the following year he received the manor of Chelwort
h, Sornerset.
He married, possibly in 1198, Sibyl, daughter and heir of Robert de Ewya
s, lord of Ewyas Harold, co. Hereford, by Pernel (Petronilla), his wife (l
iving 28 October 1204.) He died some time before 29 April 1215. Sibyl marr

Earl of Salisbury
Spoken of as the Earl of Salisbury, like his father. His father was the il
legitimate son of King Henry II by his mistress Rosamund De Clifford, a
nd thus a Prince of England. His mother was the Countess of Salisbur
y. In otherwards, William was a grandson of Henry II.
Burke wrote:
"... 'commonly called', says Sir William Dugdale, 'by Matthew Faris, and m
ost of our other historians, Earl of Salisbury, but erroneously; for all r
ecords wherein mention is made of him, do not give him that title, but ca
ll him barely William Longespee. Nay, there is an old chronicle who sai
th expressly, that, in anno 1233 (17th Henry III.), he was girt with the s
word of knighthood, but not made Earl of Salisbury." This William made a p
ilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1240, and again in 1247, having assumed t
he cross for a second pilgrimage, prodeeded to Rome, and thus preferr
ed a suit to the sovereign pontiff. 'Sir, you see that I am signed with t
he cross, and am on my journey with the King of France to fight in this pi
lgrimage. My name is great, and of note, viz., William Longespee; but my e
state is slender; for the king of England, my kinsman and liege lord, ha
th bereft me of the title of earl, and of that estate; but this he did jud
iciously, and not in displeasure, and by the impulse of his will; therefo
re I do not blame him for it. Howbeit, I am necessitated to have recour
se to your holiness for favour, desiring your assistance in this distres
s. We see here (quoth he,) that Earl Richard (of Cornwall,) who, thou
gh he is not signed with the cross, yet, through the especial grace of yo
ur holiness, he hath got very much money from those who are signed, and th
erefore I, who am signed, and in want, do intreat the like favour." The po
pe taking into consideration the elegance of his manner, the efficacy of h
is reasoning, and the comeliness of his person, conceded in part what he d
esired: whereupon he received above 1,000 marks from those who had be
en so signed. In about two years after this, anno 1249, having received t
he blessing of his noble mother, Ela, then abbess of Lacock, he commenc
ed his journey at the head of a company of 200 English horse, and being re
ceived with great respect by the king of France, joined that monarch's arm
y. In Palestine he became subsequently pre-eminently distinguished, and fe
ll, in 1250, in a great conflict with the Saracens, near Damietta, havi
ng previously killed above 100 of the enemy with his own hand. It was repo
rted that, the night before the battle, his mother Ela, the abbess, s
aw in a vision the heavens open, and her son armed at all parts (whose shi
eld she well knew), received with joy by the angels. Remembering the occur

Constable of Windsor Castle, Co Surrey, England; Castellan of Pembroke; Lo
rd of Carew and Emlyn
GERALD, younger son of Walter and Beatrice, was constable, under Arnu
lf de Montgomery, of his castle of Pembroke, and successfully defend
ed it when besieged by the Welsh in 1092. In 1095 he led a military expedi
tion against the Welsh on the borders of what is now Pembrokeshire, a
nd in 1100 went to Ireland to demand for Arnulf the daughter of King Murro
ugh in marriage. Arnulf was deprived of his estates and exiled by Hen
ry I in 1102, and the King granted the custody of Pembroke Castle to Geral
d. He married Nest, daughter of Rhys ap Tudor Mawr, PRINCE OF SOUTH WALE
S. The date of his death is not known, presumably before 1136. [CP 10:10-1

Constable of Pembroke Castle in 1102. He built the 'motte & bailey cast
le at Carew'. Was granted Moulsford in Berkshire, England.
Tom Magness writes:
As for the other children of Gerald de Windsor, I have found no record. Ju
st a lot of conjecture.  Certainly the opportunity was there as Gerald w
as in Wales for as many as 7 years before he married Nest and we know he w
as alive in 1116 -- that's when the Brut records his organizing the dea
th of Owain -- so he was alive for at least 6 years after Nest was kidnapp
ed. And, if the noted historians are correct, Nest did not return to Gera
ld but instead became the property of the king after her time with Owai
n. The morals of the time being as they were and human nature being wh
at it still is, I would say it is highly likely that Gerald had more th
an the 4 children he had by Nest.  But that is just more conjecture.
Carew Castle
Carew Castle is justly celebrated as one of the most magnificent castl
es of  south Wales. Its position is low-lying, but still prominent in t
he flat land  around the tidal reaches of the Carew river. The castle stan
ds at the end of  a ridge at a strategically excellent site commanding a c
rossing point of the  then still navigable river.
Little now remains of the earth and timber castle that was built here by t
he Norman Gerald of Windsor around 1100. It is first mentioned in 1212, wh
en for some reason, King John seized it for a short time when passing thro
ugh Pembroke on his Irish expedition. By this time it is probable that t
he first stone structure, the Old Tower, had been built to protect the ori
ginal castleentrance.
In 1212 described as " the house of Carrio" [ Rot Lit Pat 92b]
The son of Nesta, William adopted the name Carew. He died at the a
ge of 70 and was succeeded by his son Raymond de Carew who had been taki
ng part in the invasion of Ireland. His descendant Sir Nicholas de Care
w, held high office in Ireland between 1284 and 1310 and accompanied Edwa
rd 1 into Scotland. He ravaged Galloway, and was present at the siege of C
aerlaverock (Dumfries). The Roll Of Caerlaverock speaks of him as "a valia
nt man of great fame". His son John also did good service against the Iri
sh and the Scots, and when he died in 1324, Edward III granted his wid

Lord of Lanstephen, Wales; His brother, Bishop David, granted him the Stew
ardship of St. Davids hereditarily. Under Stephen [between 1136 and 114
6] the sons of Gerald were hard pressed by the Welsh in their effort to di
slodge the Norman interlopers from the lands they had seized. The occasi
on of Maurice's going to Ireland, where he and his descendants were to flo
urish so exceedingly, was the promise, in 1167, of Dermot MacMurrough, t
he dispossessed King of Leinster, to give Wexford to him and to his half-b
rother, Robert FitzStephen, if they would help him to regain the kingdom-
-a promise which he duly honoured. Preceded by FitzStephen, and accompani
ed by his nephew Raymond, Maurice landed at Wexford in 1169 with two shi
ps of armed followers, and with the aid of his Norman allies Dermot recove
red Dublin. The coming over of Henry II, and the political dispositions wh
ich he made, fettered the progress of the Geraldines; although at his depa
rture [Easter 1172] the King left Maurice one of the three keepers of Dubl
in. After spending some time in Wales, Maurice returned to Ireland, whe
re the Keeper, Earl Richard, Strongbow, was consolidating the Normans in t
he face of the Irish by making them grants of land in fee, and by arrangi
ng marriages between members of the factious families. [CP 10:11-12]

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
Of the group of nobles at the head of this chapter, the f irst two are
mentioned by Wace, and Guillaume De Poitiers speaks only of the son of
Count Richard.
Other writers, however, assert that both Count Richard and his son fought
siDe by siDe in the battle of Senlac. It is possible they might have done
so, as Count Richard died on the 13th of December of the fol lowing year,
1067, and there is nothing to prove that he was not in the army of
invasion. It is remarkable, however, that in Taylor's List it is William,
Count of Evreux, who is set down as contributing eighty vessels to the
flee t; and as William was not Count of Evreux in 1066, it is possible
that it is one of the many mistakes we find in the baptismal names of
these early nobles and their wives, and we ought to read "Richard," at
least as far as the furn ishing so noble a contingent as eighty vessels,
which must surely have been t he act of the reigning Prince, and not of
his son, who might at the same time have had the command of them.
Richard, Count of Evreux, was the grandson of Richard I, Duke of
Normandy, and succeeded his father, Robert, Count of Evreu x and
Archbishop of Rouen, in 1037. Beyond the fact that at a date variously
stated as 1055, 1060, and 1066 or 1067, he founded the abbey of St.
Sauveur ; nothing is stated of his acts and deeds worth recording; but he
is describe d by the monk of Jumièges as equally a good Christian and a
good soldier.
He was twice married. His first wife was Adela (called by Pere Anselm,
Helene), widow of the Roger De Toeni who was slain in 1038, by whom he
had William, w ho succeeded him, and Agnes, third wife of Simon de
Montfort, and whose abduc tion by her half-brother, Ralph De Toeni, I have
already mentioned. By his se cond wife, Godechilde, of whose family we
know as little as we do of that of his first, he had only one daughter,
named after her mother, who became abbes s of St. Sauveur, the abbey
founded by her father at Evreux.
Of William, Cou nt of Evreux, the undoubted companion of the Conqueror,
much more is recorded , though nothing previous to the invasion, except
his being present with his father at the great Council at Lillebonne,
wherein that invasion was decided upon. He is reported as having borne
himself valiantly in the battle, and rec eived an ample share of the lands
in England distributed by the Conqueror in 1070 to the chieftains who had
accompanied him in his expedition. He returned to Normandy in 1078, and
was one of the mediators in the treaty of Peace of BlanchelanDe (viDe p.
198, ante). Shortly afterwards, King William, as if to indemnify himself
for the property he had bestowed upon him in England, took from him the
Castle of Evreux, and placed a royal garrison in it. Nevertheles s, he
fought on the King's siDe during the disturbances in Maine, and was tak en
prisoner at the assault of the Castle of Saint Suzanne, held against the
King by Hubert, Vicomte De Maine. In 1087, on the death of the Conqueror,
he recovered the Castle of Evreux, driving out the royal troops both from
there and from the town of Dangu in the Norman Vexin.
Being without issue, he had a dopted his niece Bertrade, daughter of his
brother-in-law, Simon De Montfort. In 1089, Fulk le Rechin, or the
Quarreller, Count of Anjou, captivated by he r beauty, determined to
repudiate his third wife, Arengarde, daughter of Isam bert, Lord of
Chalet-dillon, whom he had only married, 21st January, 1087, in order to
obtain the hand of the lovely Bertrade. At this moment, the Manceau x
making a fresh effort to throw off the yoke of the Normans, Duke Robert
C ourt-heuse entreated the Count of Anjou to assist him in their
repression, wh ich he promised to do on condition that the Duke would
obtain for him the han d of Bertrade. On Robert's application to the Cou

RAOUL DE TOENI
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Her ald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
Raoul (Ralph) De Toeni, Seigneur De Conch es, second of that name, was the
son or grandson (for it is not quite clear w hich) of that turbulent Roger
De Toeni, who was one of the first to dispute t he succession of the
base-born William to the ducal throne of Normandy, and w ho, with his two
sons Halbert and Elinance, was slain in a conflict with Roge r de
Beaumont. You have beard of him before as the messenger of the Duke to
the French King with the disastrous tidings of the battle of Mortemer.
The ho nourable office of gonfanonier (standardbearer) of Normandy was
hereditary in their family, collateral descendants of its dukes from
Mahaluc, uncle of Rol f or Rollo, but on whom it was first conferred has
not transpired.
Previous to the battle at Senlac, Wace tells us the Duke ordered the
consecrated gonfa non, which the Pope had sent to him, to be brought forth
and unfurled. Then t aking and raising it, he called to him Raoul de
Conches, and said, "Bear my g onfanon, for I would not but do you right.
By right and by ancestry your fami ly are gonfanoniers of Normandy, and
very good knights have they all been." " Many thanks to you," answered
Raoul, "for the recognition of our right, but b y my faith the gonfanon
shall not be borne by me this day. To-day I claim qui ttance of that
service, for I would serve you in another guise. I will go wit h you into
the battle and fight the English as long as I have life to do so, and be
assured that my hand will be worth more than those of twenty such men! "
There can be no doubt that he was as good as his word, although no
especia l act of gallantry has been recorded of him, for we find him
rewarded by the gift of thirty-seven lordships, nineteen being in
Norfolk, and making Flamste ad, in Hertfordshire, his principal residence
in England.
Orderic tells us t hat this Raoul gained great glory in the wars, and was
renowned among the fir st of the Norman nobles for honour and wealth,
serving bravely in the armies of King William and Duke Robert, his son,
for nearly sixty years. Of course h e must mean alternately, for he was
one of the nobles who took part with Robe rt Court-heuse on his first
outbreak, in consequence of the insult of his bro thers, William and
Henry, who threw water on him from a gallery in a house wh ere they were
playing at dice. Raoul was banished, and his domains seized by the King,
but through the intercession of friends obtained his pardon and the
restoration of his estates.
In 1077, he married Elizabeth, or Isabel, daugh ter of Simon De Montfort
l'Amauri, whose hand he obtained by the audacious ac t of carrying off by
night Agnes, daughter of Richard, Comte d'Evreux, who wa s his
half-sister, and marrying her to the said Simon. Orderic gives an amusi ng
account of this Isabel and her sister-in-law Havise, daughter of William,
Comte De Nevers, the wife of her brother Willliam, Comte d'Evreux. The
Coun tess Havise took offence, it appears, at some taunts of the Lady of
Conches, and used all her influence with her husband and his barons to
have recourse t o arms, in which mischievous attempt she unfortunately
succeeded. "Both these ladies," the chronicler tells us, "were great
talkers, and spirited as well as handsome; they ruled their husbands,
oppressed their vassals, and inspired terror in various ways: but still
their characters were very different. Havi se had wit and eloquence, but
she was cruel and avaricious; Isabel, on the co ntrary, was generous,
enterprising, and lively, so that she was beloved and e steemed by those
immediately about her. She roDe in knightly armour when the vassals took
the field, and exhibited as much daring amongst belted knights a nd
men-at-arms as Camilla, the renowned Virgin of Italy, among the squadrons
of Tevenus."

"William sat on his war-horse and called out Rogier, whom they name De Mon
tgomeri. ' I rely greatly on you. Lead your men thitherward and attack th
em from that side. William, the son of Osbern, the seneschal, a right go
od vassal, shall go with you and help in the attack, and you shall have t
he men of Boulogne and Poix and all my soldiers' " (i.e. pai d troops -- m
ercenaries). Such are the words Wace puts in the mouth of the Co nquero
r. And yet, according to Orderic, Roger De Montgomeri was not present at H
astings, having been left by the Duke in Normandy, governor of the duch
y. His statement is most explicit. King William, during his visit to his N
orman dominions in 1067, was greatly disquieted by the reports from Engla
nd of the disaffection of his new subjects, and the advantage tak
en of it by the Danes . "Leaving the government of Normandy," he proceed
s, "to his Queen Matilda, a nd his young son Robert, with a council of
religious priests and valiant nobl es, to be guardians of the state, he ro
de, on the night of the 6th of Decembe r, to the mouth of the river Diepp

ous voyage, the harbour on the opposite coast calle d Wincheste
r. . . . In his present voyage he was attended by Roger De Montgom eri, w
ho at the time of his former expedition to invaDe England was left with h
is wife, governor of Normandy." Now when we remember that the father of Or

ed a grant of land lying on the banks of the river Meole at the east ga
te of
Shrewsbury; t hat, with the help of his lord, he founded the monastery the
re of St. Peter and St. Paul, to which he retired in 1110, the Earl himse
lf having died therein fourteen years previously; that Orderic, born in 10
75, was at school at Shr ewsbury until he was ten years of age, when he w
as sent to Normandy, became a monk in the Abbey of St. Evreux, of which Ro
ger De Montgomeri was a patron a nd benefactor, revisited England in 111
5, and was living, at the age of sixty -six, in 1141, -- it surely follow
s, that of all the companions of the Conqueror he had ever seen or heard o
f, Roger De Montgomeri, Earl of Shrewsbury, his father's lord and frien
d, was the one respecting whom he must have possesse d the most accurate i
nformation. Is it likely, supposing Roger De Montgomeri had commanded a wi
ng of the invading army, and performed feats of bravery at Senlac, that h
is servant and protégé who came over with him, and must in that case ha
ve been present at Hastings himself, would have been silent on the subjec
t? Would not his deeds have been the theme of his whole
household, and of the very school-fellows of the young Orderic? Was the Lo
rd of Belesme amon gst the noble personages who accompanied King Willi
am on his visit to Normand y in 1067? and if not, what was he doing in Eng
land during the disturbances i n the King's absence? How was it that a m
an of his position and prowess was n ot associated with the other great wa
rriors appointed to guard the realm and administer justice throughout i
t? His name never occurs even incidentally dur ing that period. Against th
is, to me overwhelming evidence, we have to place t he statement of Willi
am of Poitiers, who, without any allusion to Roger De Mo ntgomeri, simp
ly says that Roger De Beaumont was the person at the head of the council a
ppointed by the Duke to assist Matilda in the government of Normandy, a

Alexander II was a competent and energetic king who was also known as
'the Pe aceful'. He married his first wife, Joan, daughter of King John,
in 1221. No heirs were produced from the marriage, however, and it was
his second wife, M arie De Coucy, who gave birth to the future Alexander
III.
Although AlexanDe r has a reputation as a law-giver he would be more
accurately described as a collector and codifier of laws. He probably
gave encouragement to the Regiam Majestatem which dates from his reign.
He also tried to bring the more remote areas of Scotland under his power.
In 1221 he moved against the north-west s ubjugating parts of Atholl and
Kintyre as well as building a castle at Tarber t. Caithness was also
causing problems where rebels had burned the Bishop to death. In
punishment Alexander ordered that the perpetrators of the crime sho uld
lose a hand and a foot. A final rebellion in 1228-30 attempted to put a
MacWilliam on the throne failed and the last surviving member of the
family was killed at Forfar.
To strengthen his grip on Galloway Alexander subdivided the inheritence
of the earls. The scheme was enforced by a royal army which w as supported
by Earl Farquhar of Ross. Castles were then built at Kirkcudbrig ht and
Wigtown. Towards the end of his reign more trouble in the north requir ed
the building of castles at Dunstaffnage and other places on the coast.
In general Alexander dealt with England with diplomacy rather than war,
with on e notable exception. In 1215 he sided with the barons against King
John. John responded by crossing the border and burning four Scottish
towns, he suppose dly set fire to Berwick himself. Later in the year
Alexander was present at t he signing of the Magna Carta. After John died
and Henry III became King of E ngland Alexander, with the Pope's
intervention, made peace with England. At a meeting in 1237 at York
Alexander agreed to give up claims to Northumbria in return for grants of
land in northern England and Cambridgeshire. The Anglo- Scottish border
was also agreed at this meeting and is still largely the same today.
Alexander II (August 24, 1198- July 6, 1249), king of Scotland, son of
William I, the Lion, and ErmengarDe of Beaumont, was born at Haddington
in 1198, and succeeded to the kingdom on the death of his father in 1214.
The ye ar after his accession the clans MacWilliam and MacHeth, inveterate
enemies o f the Scottish crown, broke into revolt; but the insurrection
was speedily qu elled. In the same year Alexander joined the English
barons in their struggle against John, and led an army into England in
support of their cause; but af ter John's death on the conclusion of peace
between his youthful son Henry II I and the French prince Louis, the
Scottish king was included in the pacifica tion. The reconciliation thus
effected was further strengthened by the marria ge of Alexander to Henry's
sister Joanna in 1221. The next year was marked by the subjection of the
hitherto semi-independent district of Argyll. A revolt in Galloway in
1235 was crushed without difficulty; nor did an invasion atte mpted soon
afterwards by its exiled leaders meet with any better fortune. Soo n
afterwards a claim for homage from Henry of England drew forth from
Alexa nder a counter-claim to the northern English counties. The dispute,
however, was settled by a compromise in 1237. A threat of invasion by
Henry in 1243 fo r a time interrupted the friendly relations between the
two countries; but th e prompt action of Alexander in anticipating his
attack, and the disinclinati on of the English barons for war, compelled
him to make peace next year at Ne wcastle. Alexander now turned his
attention to securing the Western Isles, wh ich still owed a nominal
allegiance to Norway. Negotiations and purchase were successively tried
but without success. Alexander next attempted to seduce E wen, the son of
Duncan, lord of Argyll, from hi
~1220 Marie De Coucy REFN: 6827AN 1241 - 1286 III Alexander 44 44 REFN: 6828AN
Alexander became king at the age of eight, and only five days after the
death of his father. Unusually for Scotland at this time his minority
passed off w ithout civil war. In large part the peace was held by Henry
III of England as he had interests in Scotland due to the fact that his
daughter Margaret had been married to Alexander while only ten years old.
When Henry suggested that Alexander do homage for both his lands in
England and Scotland, Alexander po litely refused.
During the next fifteen years Alexander's reign was one of pea ce with
England, indeed Alexander was an honoured guest at the coronation of
Edward I in 1272. Yet it again it was suggested that Alexander do homage
fo r Scotland as well as his English lands, this time by the Bishop of
Norwich. Alexander's reply was cool and to the point, 'to homage for my
kingdom of Sco tland no one has right except God alone, nor do I hold it
except of God alone '. The subject was then dropped - for a while.
Although, in general, Scotland was a peaceful realm during Alexander's
reign his relations with Norway were often strained due to Scotland's
claim to the Western Isles. In 1262 there wa s a Scottish raid on Skye and
this caused Haakon, King of Norway, to set sail for Scotland to settle
the issue. Late in 1263 Haakon headed for Scotland wi th a large invasion
force consisting of 200 ships and 15,000 men. The storms around the coast
of Scotland took their toll on the Norwegian fleet, which at one point
meant dragging forty ships overland to Loch Lomond. In the end a r unning
fight took place at Largs where the Norwegian's were defeated by the
Scots led by Alexander Stewart. Haakon did not make it back to Norway, he
di ed on Orkney in December. The Treaty of Perth of 1266 recognised the
reality of the situation and Alexander was given Man and the Isles for
4000 merks and an annual payment of 100 merks. Only Orkney and Shetland
were now outwith Sc ottish control.
Although Alexander was a widower he decided that he better rem arry when
he heard that his heir had died. He married Yolande, daughter of th e
Count of Dreux in the following year but by the next year he was dead.
Fo llowing a routine council meeting in Edinburgh on 19 March 1286
Alexander dec ided that he would return to his wife at Dunfermline Palace.
The night was a stormy one and while riding alone on the north siDe of
the Forth he fell from his horse and broke his neck. His distraught
courtiers found his dead body t he following morning.
Alexander III (September 4, 1241 - March, 1286), king of Scotland, also
known as Alexander the Glorious is regarded as one of Scotlan d's greatest
kings.
Born at Roxburgh, he was the son of Alexander II by his second wife Mary
De Coucy. When he was eight years old, his father died, maki ng him king.
He was crowned on July 13, 1249 at Scone Abbey, Perthshire.
The years of his minority were marked by an embittered struggle for the
control of affairs between two rival parties, the one led by Walter
Comyn, earl of Me nteith, the other by Alan Durward, the justiciar. The
former was in the ascen dant during the early years of the reign. At the
marriage of Alexander to Mar garet of England in 1251, Henry III seized
the opportunity to demand from his son-in-law homage for the Scottish
kingdom, but the claim was refused. In 12 55 an interview between the
English and Scottish kings at Kelso led to Mentei th and his party losing
to Durward's party. But though disgraced, they still retained great
influence, and two years later, seizing the person of the king , they
compelled their rivals to consent to the erection of a regency
repre sentative of both parties.
On attaining his majority in 1262, Alexander declar ed his intention of
resuming the projects on the Western Isles which had been cut short by
the death of his father thirteen years before. A formal claim w as laid
before the Norwegian king Haakon. Not o

John De Warrenne, 7th Earl of Surrey
by name Earl Warenne, also called (incorrec tly) Earl Of Sussex eminent En
glish lord during the reigns of Henry III and Edward I of England. Jo
hn De Warrenne was son and heir of the 6th Earl, William de Warenne, and s
ucceeded upon his father's death in 1240. (He and his family claimed the e
arldom of Sussex but never held it De jure.) He married Alice de Lusigna
n, half sister of Henry III; and, except for a brief period in 1262 –6
3, he strongly supported his friend the young lord Edward (afterward Edwa
rd I) during the Barons' Wars. In 1264 he defended Rochester Castle again
st Sim on De Montfort until relieved by Edward. They then repaired to Ware
nne's town of Lewes, where the royal army was defeated (May 1264), and War
enne escaped to France. In 1265 he landed in Pembroke with Henry III's ha
lf brother Willia m De Valence and took part in the campaign that end
ed at the Battle of Evesha m (Aug. 4, 1265) with Montfort's death. The suc
cessful claim of Warenne's son-in-law John De Balliol to the throne of Sco
tland gave Surrey a strong interest and a leading part in Scottish affair
s. However, after the treaty between Scotland and France in 1295, Edwa
rd I invaded Scotland in 1296, and Warenne won the Battle of Dunbar. Edwa
rd I then appointed him keeper of the realm of Scotland, but in 1297 he w
as defeated by William Wallace at Stirling Bridge. He fought in Edward's l
ater campaigns in Scotland and took part in the victory at Falkirk (1298).
3rd Earl of Surrey and Sussex; Earl of Warren
Cokayne says:
"This noble was but five years of age at the time of his father's deceas
e, and was placed in ward with Peter de Savoy, the Queen's brother. Wh
en he attained majority, he atttached himself zealously to Henry III in h
is conflicts with the barons, and maintained the cause of the king with h
is sword at the Battle of Lewes. His lordship was a person of violent a
nd imperious temper, and was often betrayed into acts of great intemperanc
e; as in the instance of assaulting Sir Alan Zouch, and Roger, his so
n, in Westminster Hall, when he almost killed the one and wounded the othe
r. And again, when Edward I issued the first writs of Quo Warranto, his lo
rdship being questioned as to the title of his possessions, exhibited to t
he justices an old sword, and unsheathing it, said 'Behold, my lords, he
re is my warranty, my ancestors coming into this land with William the Bas
tard, did obtain their lands by the sword, and I am resolved with the swo
rd to defend them, against whomsoever shall endeavour to dispossess me; f
or that king did not himself conquer the land, and subdue it, but our prog
enitors were sharers and assistants therein.' The earl was constitute
d, by King Edward, general of all his forces on the north of the Trent, f
or the better restraining the insolence of the Scots; whereupon he march
ed into Scotland, and so terrified the inhabitants that they immediately s
ued for peace, and gave hostages for their future good conduct. But the w
ar soon after breaking out afresh, his lordship sustained a signal defe
at at Strivelin, when his troops fled first to Berwick, and thence into En

ROGER DE MORTIMER, son and heir, a minor at his father's death, is sa
id to have been born at his father's castle of Cwmaron. He had livery of h
is inheritance 26 February 1246/7; and at Whitsuntide 1253 was made a knig
ht by the King at Winchester. He was serving in Gascony in 1253, and 125
4, and from 1255 to 1264 was chiefly occupied with his duties on the Marc
h, opposing the successes of his cousin Llewelyn ap Griffith, who was grad
ually uniting all the Welsh chieftains under his leadership. In the disput
es between the King and the Barons in 1258, Mortimer at first took the Bar
ons' side, and was one of the twelve chosen by them to act with twelve cho
sen by the King, and one of the twenty-four appointed to treat about an a
id for the King. In October 1258 he attested the King's proclamation for t
he observance of the Provisions of Oxford, and in Apr. 1259 was sworn of t
he King's Council. The "Provisions" drawn up by the Barons in that year di
rected that Roger de Mortimer and Philip Basset should accompany the justi
ciar. On 11 June of that year he was appointed one of the commissione
rs to demand satisfaction from Llewelyn for breaches of the truce, whi
ch on 25 June was prolonged for one year. He was present at the confirmati
on of the treaty with France, 21 July 1259. On 19 May 1260 the Counc
il of Magnates appointed him constable of Hereford Castle. On 17 July foll
owing he arrived in London to attend a Council, and on that day Llewelyn
's men took Builth Castle, of which Mortimer had custody for Prince Edwar
d. In December 1260 he had a licence to take game and to fish along the Th
ames and its tributaries. In December 1261 he was commanded to send his se
al, if he were unable to come in person, to have it affixed to the writi
ng made of peace between the King and the Barons. The whole of the years 1
262 and 1263 he spent in fighting Llewelyn with varying success. On 3 Dece
mber 1263 he was one of the armed nobles with the King when Henry demande
d, and was refused, entry to Dover Castle; and in January following attest
ed, on the King's side, the submission of the quarrel between Henry and t
he Barons to Louis, King of France. On 6 April 1264 he was with the Ki
ng at the taking of Northampton, and captured a number of prisoners; a
nd in May was with the King at Lewes, but fled from the field to Pevense
y. He and others who had fled were allowed to return home, giving hostag
es that they would come to Parliament, when summoned, and stand trial by t
heir peers. Mortimer and the other Lords Marchers did not attend Montfort
's "Parliament" at Midsummer 1264, but were constrained to make peace wi
th him in August. In September Mortimer, as constable of Cardigan, was ord
ered to give up the castle to Guy de Brien, Montfort's nominee. The Marche
rs again broke the truce, but before Christmas Montfort and Llewelyn final
ly reduced them to submission. Soon afterwards Roger and the others were b
anished to Ireland for a year, but did not go; and in December he had sa
fe conduct to see the King and Prince Edward, who was at Kenilworth. In Ju
ne 1265 he was among the "rebels holding certain towns and castles through
out the land, and raising new wars." Later in the same month he contriv
ed the plan, and furnished the swift horse, by means of which Prince Edwa
rd escaped from Hereford Castle and came to Wigmore, where he and Rog
er de Clifford rode out to meet him and drove off his pursuers. At Evesha

Louis VIII the Lion (French: Louis VIII le Lion) (September 5, 1187 – Nove
mber 8, 1226) reigned as King of France from 1223 to 1226. He was a memb
er of the Capetian dynasty. Louis VIII was born in Paris, France, the s
on of Philip II of France and Isabelle of Hainaut.
In 1216 the English barons rebelled in the First Barons' War against the u
npopular King John of England (1199–1216) and offered the throne to Loui
s. Louis invaded and was proclaimed King in London in May 1216, althou
gh he was not crowned. There was little resistance when the prince enter
ed London. At St Paul's Cathedral, Louis was accepted as ruler with gre
at pomp and celebration in the presence of all of London. Many nobles, inc
luding Alexander II of Scotland (1214–49), gathered to give homage to him.
On June 14 he captured Winchester and soon conquered over half of the Engl
ish kingdom. Since other English Kings such as Edward V (1483) and Edwa
rd VIII (1936) were not crowned but only proclaimed, there is a good ca
se for including Louis VIII in the list of Kings of England. After a ye
ar and a half of war, most of the rebellious barons had defected and so Lo
uis had to give up his claim to be the King of England by signing the Trea
ty of Lambeth in 1217.
Louis VIII succeeded his father on July 14, 1223; his coronation took pla
ce on August 6 of the same year in the cathedral at Reims. As King, he con
tinued to seek revenge on the Angevins and seized Poitou and Saintonge fr
om them in 1224. There followed the seizure of Avignon and Languedoc.
On 1 November 1223, he issued an ordinance that prohibited his officials f
rom recording debts owed to Jews, thus reversing the policies set by his f
ather Philip II of France (1180–1223). Usury (lending money with interes
t) was illegal for Christians to practice, according to Church law it w
as seen as a vice in which people profited from others' misfortune (like g
ambling), and was punishable by excommunication, a severe punishment. Howe
ver since Jews were not Christian, they could not be excommunicated, and t
hus fell in to a legal gray area which secular rulers would sometimes expl
oit by allowing (or requesting) Jews to provide usury services, often f
or personal gain to the secular ruler, and to the discontent of the Churc
h. Louis VIII's prohibition was one attempt at resolving this legal probl
em which was a constant source of friction in Church and State courts.
Twenty six barons accepted, but Theobald IV of Champagne (1201–53), a powe
rful baron from Champagne did not, since he had an agreement with the Je
ws that guaranteed him extra income through taxation. Theobald IV would be
come a major opposition force to Capetian dominance, and his hostility w
as manifest during the reign of Louis VIII. For example, during the sie
ge of Avignon, he performed only the minimum service of 40 days, and le
ft home amid charges of treachery.
In 1225, the council of Bourges excommunicated the count of Toulouse, Raym
ond VII, and declared a crusade against the southern barons. Louis happi
ly renewed the conflict in order to enforce his royal rights. Roger Berna
rd the Great, count of Foix, tried to keep the peace, but the king reject
ed his embassy and the counts of Foix and Toulouse took up arms against hi
m. The king was largely successful, but he did not complete the work befo
re his death.
While returning to Paris, King Louis VIII became ill with dysentery, and d
ied on November 8, 1226 in the chateau at Montpensier, Auvergne.
The Saint Denis Basilica houses the tomb of Louis VIII. His son, Lou
is IX (1226–70), succeeded him on the throne.
On May 23, 1200, at the age of twelve, Louis married Blanche of Castile (M
arch 4, 1188 – November 26, 1252).

REFN: 6928AN
Louis IX or Saint Louis (April 25, 1215 – August 25, 1270) was King of Fra
nce from 1226 until his death. Born at Poissy, France, he was a memb
er of the Capetian dynasty and the son of King Louis VIII and Blanche of C
astile.
Much of what we know of Louis' life comes from Jean de Joinville's famo
us biography of Louis, Life of Saint Louis. Joinville was a close frien
d, confidant, and counselor to the king, and also participated as a witne
ss in the papal inquest into Louis' life that ended with his canonizati
on in 1297 by Pope Boniface VIII.
Louis was eleven years old when his father died in 1226. He was crowned ki
ng the same year in the cathedral at Reims.
Because of Louis' youth, his mother, Blanche of Castile, ruled France as r
egent until 1234, when Louis was deemed of age to rule himself. She contin
ued as an important counsellor to the king until her death in 1252.
On May 27, 1234 Louis married Marguerite de Provence (1221–December 21, 12
95), the sister of Eleanor, the wife of Henry III of England.
Louis was the elder brother of Charles I of Sicily (1227–1285), whom he cr
eated count of Anjou, thus founding the second Angevin dynasty.
Louis brought an end to the Albigensian Crusade in 1229 after signing an a
greement with Count Raymond VII of Toulouse that cleared his father of wro
ng-doing. Raymond VI had been suspected of murdering a preacher on a missi
on to convert the Cathars.
Louis' piety and kindness towards the poor were much celebrated. He we
nt on crusade twice, in 1248 (Seventh Crusade) and then in 1270 (Eighth Cr
usade). Both crusades were total failures. After initial success in his fi
rst attempt, Louis's army was met by overwhelming resistance from the Egyp
tian army and citizens. In 1249, Louis was eventually defeated and taken p
risoner in Mansoura, Egypt. Louis and his companions were then releas
ed in return for the surrender of the French army and a large ransom. He d
ied near Tunis during the latter expedition on August 25, 1270 traditional
ly believed to be during an outbreak of plague but thought by modern schol
ars to be dysentery.
Some of his entrails were buried directly on the spot in Tunisia, whe
re a Tomb of Saint-Louis can still be visit today, whereas other par
ts of his entrails were sealed in an urn and placed in the Basilica of Mon
reale, Palermo, where they still remain. His corpse was taken, via a sho
rt stay at the Basilica of Saint Dominic in Bologna, to the French royal n
ecropolis at Saint-Denis, resting in Lyon on the way. His tomb at Saint-De
nis was a magnificent gilt brass monument designed in the late 14th centur
y. It was melted down during the French Wars of Religion, at which time t
he body of the king disappeared. Only one finger was rescued and is ke
pt at Saint-Denis.
Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the canonization of Louis in 1297; he is t
he only French monarch ever to be made a saint.
Louis IX was succeeded by his son, Philippe III.
Louis' patronage of the arts drove much innovation in Gothic art and archi
tecture, and the style of his court radiated throughout Europe by both t
he purchase of art objects from Parisian masters for export and by the mar
riage of the king's many daughters to foreign husbands and their subseque
nt introduction of Parisian models elsewhere. Louis' personal chapel, t
he Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, was copied more than once by his descendan
ts elsewhere. Louis most likely ordered the production of the Morgan Bibl
e, a masterpiece of medieval painting.
Saint Louis ruled during the so-called "golden century of Saint Louis", wh
en the kingdom of France was at its height in Europe, both politically a
nd economically. The king of France was regarded as a primus inter pares a
mong the kings and rulers of Europe. He commanded the largest army, and ru
led the largest and most wealthy kingdom of Europe, a kingdom which was t
he European center of ar

Conqueror during his minority.Alias:<ALIA> /Crispin/
REFN: P1520
Gilbert was the son of Richard the Fearles s. As a young man he inherited
Brionne and became one of the most powerful la ndowners in Normandy.
In about 1026, Herleva of Falaise, the sixteen year old daughter of a
tanner from Falaise in Normandy, gave birth to a son called Ric hard.
Gilbert was the father of the child. As Herleva was not married to
Gi lbert, the boy became known as Richard Fitz Gilbert. The term 'Fitz'
was used to show that Richard was the illegitimate son of Gilbert.
When Robert, Duke o f Normandy died in 1035 William the Conqueror
inherited his father's title. S everal leading Normans, including Gilbert
of Brionne, Osbern the Seneschal an d Alan of Brittany, became William's
guardians.
A number of Norman barons wo uld not accept an illegitimate son as their
leader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The plot failed
but they did manage to kill Gilbert of Brionne. It is believed his killer
was Ralph of Wacy.
Gilbert/Giselbert "Crispin", Count of Brionne and Eu, (b 979? or 98
6? - d. 1040?), Count of Eu, and of Brionne or Brienne, France.
Parentage
Some sources say Gislebert was the son of Godfrey of Brionne & Eu. Othe
rs than he was the son of Gilbert, Baron of Bec. Still others that his fat
her was Crispin De Bec (b. 940). Some say he was the son of an illegitima
te child of Richard the Fearless. Gislebert's mother was apparently Haloi
se De Guines (b. 942).
Life
Whatever his parentage, he inherited Brionne, becoming one of the most pow
erful landowners in Normandy. He married Gunnora d'Aunou (Gunmore d'Aino
n) in 1012. He had children by his wife and a mistress. The name Crisp
in os said to have referred to the family's erect curly hair.
Gislebert was a generous benefactor to the Abbey of Bec founded by his fom
er knight Herluin in 1031.
When Robert I, Duke of Normandy died in 1035 his illegitimate son Willi
am inherited his father's title. Several leading Normans, including Gilbe
rt of Brionne, Osbern the Seneschal and Alan of Brittany, became William
's guardians.
Death
A number of Norman barons including Raoul De Gacé would not accept an ille
gitimate son as their leader. In 1040 an attempt was made to kill Willi
am but the plot failed. Gilbert however was murdered while he was peaceab
ly riding near Eschafour. It is believed two of his killers were Ral
ph of Wacy and Robert De Vitot. This appears to have been an act of vengea
nce for wrongs inflicted upon the orphan children of Giroie by Gilbert, a
nd it is not clear what Raoul De Gacé had to do in the business. Fearing t
hey might meet their father's fate, his sons Richard and his brother Baldw
in were conveyed by their friends to the court of Baldwin, Count of Flande
rs.
Children
Gilbert was the great progenitor of the illustrious house of Clare, of t
he Barons Fitz Walter, and the Earls of Gloucester and Hertford.

evidence, nor can we venture to suggest which was the "Sire De Lacie" of
the poet, and whic h "the Chevalier," if we are to consider them two
distinct personages. That t hey were brothers, however, is fairly
presumable, from the fact that the moth er of Ilbert De Lacy, Emma, is
named in a charter, and Walter had a daughter Emma, named according to
custom after her grandmother. No particular deed of arms is attributed to
either; but the Sire De Lacie is named as one of a part y of seven or
eight knights who charged the English in company, "fearing neit her prince
nor pope. Many a man did they overthrow, many did they wound, and many a
good horse did they kill." As early as the third year of William's rei gn,
1069, Walter De Lacy was sent into Wales with William Fitz Osbern and
o ther tried soldiers, against the people of Brecknock, led by their
Prince of Wales, Rhys ap Owen, Cadogan ap Blethyn, and Meredith ap Owen,
whom they atta cked and defeated with great slaughter.
Subsequently he assisted Wulstan, Bish op of Worcester, and Urso d'Abitot,
then sheriff of that county, in preventin g the passing of the Severn by
the Earls of Hereford and Norfolk, with the ob ject of effecting a
junction of their forces.
His death, however, was not on the field of battle, nor was he shorn a
monk in some abbey according to a pr evalent custom of the period.
Having founded the Church of St. Peter at Herefo rd, and taking much
interest in the building, when the work was nearly finish ed, he mounted a
ladder to inspect some portion of it, when his foot slipping , he fell and
was killed on the spot (6 kalends of April, 1084).
He was buri ed in the chapter-house of the Cathedral at Gloucester, to
which Emmeline, hi s wife, for the health of his soul, gave five hides of
land at Duntesborne.
By this lady, whoever she was, he left three sons, Roger, Hugh and
Walter, th e last a monk in the Abbey of St. Peter at Gloucester; and two
daughters, Erm eline and Emma.
Dying before the compilation of Domesday, we cannot be certain what was
his reward in lands and honours for the services he had rendered hi s
sovereign; but in that precious record we find his son and successor,
Rog er, in possession of ninety-six lordships, sixty-five of which were in
Glouce stershire, besides four carucates of land lying within the limits
of the Cast le of Civia, which King William had bestowed o

REFN: 7076AN
Louis the Pious (also known as Louis I, Louis the Fair, and Louis the Debo
naire, German: Ludwig der Fromme, French: Louis le Pieux or Louis le Débon
naire, Italian: Luigi il Pio or Ludovico il Pio, Spanish: Luis el Piado
so or Ludovico Pío) (June/August, 778 – June 20, 840) was Emperor and Ki
ng of the Franks from 814 to his death 840.
Born in Casseuil-sur-Garonne, in today's Gironde, France, the third s
on of Charlemagne by his third wife, Hildegard, Louis was crowned ki
ng of Aquitaine as a child in 781 and sent there with regents and a cou
rt to rule in order to quiet rebellions which were forming after Charlemag
ne's defeat by the Moors in Spain (778). Charlemagne's intention was to s
ee his all sons brought up as natives of their given territories, weari
ng the national costume of the region and ruling by the local customs. Th
us were the children sent to their respective realms at so young an age. E
ach kingdom had its importance in keeping some frontier, Louis's was the S
panish March. In 797, Barcelona, the greatest city of the Marca, fell to t
he Franks when Zeid, its governor, rebelled against Córdoba and, failin
g, handed it to them. The Umayyad authority recaptured it in 799. Howeve
r, Louis marched the entire army of his kingdom over the Pyrenees and besi
eged it for two years, wintering there from 800 to 801, when it capitulate
d. The sons were not given independence from central authority, however, a
nd Charlemagne ingrained in them the concepts of empire and unity by sendi
ng them on military expeditions far from their home bases. Louis campaign
ed in the Mezzogiorno against the Beneventans at least once.
Louis was one of Charlemagne's four legitimate sons, but the eldest, Pep
in the Hunchback, had consented to a rebellion against his father and w
as banished to a monastery. That left three in active life and, like mo
st Frankish men, Louis had expected to share his inheritance with his brot
hers, Charles the Younger, king in Neustria, and Pepin, king of Ital
y. In the Divisio Regnorum of 806, Charlemagne had slated Charles the Youn
ger as his successor as emperor and chief king, ruling over the Frankish h
eartland of Neustria and Austrasia, while giving Pepin the Iron Crown of L
ombardy, which Charlemagne possessed by conquest. To Louis's kingdom of Aq
uitaine, he added Septimania, Provence, and part of Burgundy.
But in the event, Charlemagne's other legitimate sons died — Pepin in 8
10 and Charles in 811 — and Louis alone remained to be crowned co-emper
or with Charlemagne in 813. On his father's death in 814, he inherited t
he entire Frankish kingdom and all its possessions (with the sole excepti
on of Italy, which remained within Louis' empire, but under the direct ru
le of Bernard, Pepin's son).
He was in Doué, Anjou, when he received news of his father's passing. Hurr
ying to Aachen, he crowned himself and was proclaimed by the nobles with s
houts of Vivat Imperator Ludovicus.
As a motto of his reign, he minted the reverse of his coins with the lege
nd Renovatio Regni Francorum. In this, he intended to signify the renew
al of the empire to a lost moral grandeur. He quickly enacted a "moral pur
ge", in which he sent all of his unmarried sisters to nunneries, forgoi
ng their diplomatic use as hostage brides in favour of the security of avo
iding the entanglements that powerful brothers-in-law might bring. He spar
ed his illegitimate half-brothers and tonsured his father's cousins, Adala
rd and Wala, shutting them up in Noirmoutier and Corbie, respectively, des
pite the latter's initial loyalty.
His chief councillors were Bernat, margrave of Septimania, and Ebbo, who
m, born a serf, Louis would raise to the archbishopric of Rheims but who w
ould ungratefully betray him later. He retained some of his father's minis
ters, such as Elisachar, abbot of St Maximin near Trier, and Hildebold, Ar
chbishop of Cologne. Late

Alias:<ALIA> Charles the /Great/
The greatest of medieval kings was born in 74 2, at a place unknown. He w
as of German blood and speech, and shared some characteristics of his peop
le- strength of body, courage of spirit, priDe of race, and a cruDe simpli
city many centuries apart from the urbane polish of the modern Frenc
h. He had little book learning; read only a few books- but good ones; tri
ed in his old age to learn writing, but never quite succeeded; yet he cou
ld speak old Teutonic and literary Latin, and understood Greek.
In 771 C arloman II died, and Charles at twenty-nine became sole king. T
wo years later he received from Pope Hadrian II an urgent appeal for aid a
gainst the Lombar d Desiderius, who was invading the papal states. Charlem
agne besieged and too k Pavia, assumed the crown of Lombardy, confirmed t
he Donation of Pepin, and accepted the role of protector of the Chur
ch in all her temporal powers. Returning to his capital at Aachen, he beg
an a series of fifty-three campaigns- nearly all led in person- design
ed to round out his empire by conquering and Christianizing Bavaria and Sa
xony, destroying the troublesome Avars, shieldin g Italy from the raidi
ng Saracens, and strengthening the defenses of Francia against the expandi
ng Moors of Spain. The Saxons on his eastern frontier were pagans; they h
ad burned down a Christian church, and made occasional incursions into Gau
l; these reasons sufficed Charlemagne for eighteen campaigns (772 -804), w
aged with untiring ferocity on both sides. Charles gave the conquered Saxo
ns a choice between baptism and death, and had 4500 Saxon rebels behead
ed in one day; after which he proceeded to Thionville to celebrate the nat
ivity of Christ. At Paderborn in 777 Ibn al-Arabi, the Moslem govern
or of Barcelona, had asked the aid of the Christian king against the cali
ph of Cordova. Charles led an army across the Pyrenees, besieged and captu
red the Christian city of Pamplona, treated the Christian but incalculab
le Basques of northern Spain as enemies, and advanced even to Saragossa. B
ut the Moslem uprisings that al-Arabi had promised as part of the strate
gy against the caliph failed to appear; Charlemagne saw that his unaided f
orces could not challenge Cordova ; news came that the conquered Saxons we
re in wild revolt and were marching in fury upon Cologne; and with the
better part of valor he led his army back, in long and narrow file, throu
gh the passes of the Pyrenees. In one such pas s, at Roncesvalles in Navar
re, a force of Basques pounced down upon the rear guard of the Franks, a
nd slaughtered nearly every man in it (778); there the noble Hruodland die
d, who would become three centuries later the hero of France’s most famo
us poem, the Chanson De Roland.
In 795 Charlemagne sent another army across the Pyrenees; the Spanish Marc
h- a strip of northeast Spain- be came part of Francia, Barcelona capitula
ted, and Navarre and Asturias acknowledged the Frankish sovereignty (806
). Meanwhile Charlemagne had subdued the Saxons (785), had driven back t
he advancing Slavs (789), had defeated and dispersed the Avars (790-805
), and had, in the thirty-fourth year of his reign an d the sixty-thi
rd of his age, resigned himself to peace. In truth he had alw ays loved ad
ministration more than war, and had taken to the field to force s ome uni
ty of government and faith upon a Western Europe torn for centuri
es pa st by conflicts of tribe and creed. He had now brought under his ru
le all the peoples between the Vistula and the
Atlantic, between the Baltic and the Pyrenees, with nearly all of Italy a
nd much of the Balkans. How could one man competently govern so vast and v
aried a realm? He was strong enough in body and nerves to bear a thousa
nd responsibilities, perils, and crises, even to his sons’ plotting to ki
ll him. He had in him the blood or teaching of the wise a nd cautious Pep
in III.

On the death of Pippin's father, Charles Martel, in 741, power was pass
ed down to Charles' legimitate sons, Pippin and Carloman. Power may also h
ave been intended for Charles' illegitimate son, Grifo, but he was impriso
ned in a monastery by his two half-brothers. Carloman, who by all eviden
ce was a deeply pious man, retired to a monastery in 747. This left Franc
ia in the hands of Pippin as Mayor of the Palace for the Merovingian Ki
ng Childeric III. Childeric had the title of King but Pippin had control o
ver orders and actually had the power of the king. Pippin then went to a
sk the Pope who should be complete ruler; the person with the title of kin
g, or the person who makes the decisions of king. The Pope agreed that t
he decision making was more important than the title. He succeeded in obta
ining the support of the papacy, which helped to discourage oppositio
n. He was elected King of the Franks by an assembly of the Frankish leadin
g-men and anointed at Soissons, perhaps by Boniface, Archbishop of Mainz.
During his reign, Pippin's conquests gave him more power than anyone sin
ce the days of King Clovis. He added to that power after Pope Stephen I
II traveled all the way to Paris to anoint Pippin in a lavish ceremo
ny at Saint Denis Basilica, bestowing upon him the additional title of Pat
rician of the Romans. As life expectancies were short in those days, and P
ippin wanted family continuity, the Pope also anointed Pippin's sons, Char
les (eventually known as Charlemagne) and Carloman.
Pippin's first major act was to go to war against the Lombard king Aistu
lf as a partial repayment for papal support in his quest for the crown. Vi
ctorious, he forced the Lombard king to return property seized from the Ch
urch. In 759, he drove the Saracens out of France with the capture of Narb
onne and then consolidated his power further by making Aquitaine a pa
rt of his kingdom.

REFN: 7089AN
Charles Martel was born August 23, 676 in Heristal, Alsace, France and di
ed o n October 22, 741. He was Mayor of the Palace of the kingdom of the
Franks. Martel is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours (more co
rrectly the Battle of Poitiers) in 732, which has been characterized as t
he salvation of Europe from the Arab menace. Martel's Frankish army defeat
ed an Arab army fighting to spread Islam, which had swept through southern
Asia and north Afric a, before conquering most of the Iberian peninsula a
nd much of southern France. Although it took another two generations for t
he Franks to drive all the Arab garrisons out of what is now France and ac
ross the Pyrenees. Charles Martel's halt of the invasion of French soil tu
rned the tiDe of Islamic advance, and the unification of the Frankish king
dom under Charles Martel, his son Pi ppin the Short, and his grandson Char
lemagne prevented
the Ummayad kingdom fr om expanding over the Pyrenees. Charles Martel (Mar
tel means "the Hammer") was the son of Pippin of Herstal, Mayor of the Pal
ace of Austrasia, and his conc ubine Alpaida. On Pippin's death in 714, t
he succession passed to an infant grandson, Theodoald. The faction of Aust
rasian nobles who supported Theodoald was led by his stepmother, Pippin
's widow, Plectrude. Charles, who was already an adult, led a rival facti
on and prevailed in a series of battles agains t both invading Neustrian F
ranks and the forces of Plectrude. Between 718 and 723, Charles secured h
is power through a
series of victories and by winning the loyalty of several important cleric
s. This he accomplished in part by don ating lands and money for the found
ations of abbeys such as Echternach. In t he subsequent decade, Charles l
ed the Frankish army against the eastern duchies, Bavaria and Alemannia, a
nd the southern duchies, Aquitaine and Provence ( in Avignon, Nîmes, Montf
rin (736),...). He dealt with the ongoing conflict wi th the Saxons to h
is northeast with some success, but full conquest of the Sa xons and the
ir incorporation into the Frankish empire would wait for his gran dson Cha
rlemagne. Charles Martel's wives were (1) Chrotrud or RotruDe (690-724 ) (
mother of Pippin and Carloman), and (2) Swanachild. Charles Martel di
ed o n October 22, 741, at Quierzy in what is today the Aisne départeme
nt in the P icardy region of France. He was interred at Saint Denis Basili
ca in Paris, France. He was succeeded by his sons, Carloman, Pippin the Sh
ort, and Grifo.
Charles Martel (Charles "the Hammer", German: Karl Martell) (August 23, 6
86 – October 22, 741) was born in Herstal, in what is now Wallonia, Belgiu
m, the illegitimate son of Pippin the Middle (635 or 640-December 16, 71
4) and his concubine Alpaida or Chalpaida.
Although he was Mayor of the Palace of the three kingdoms of the Franks, M
artel is best remembered for winning the Battle of Tours in 732, which h
as traditionally been characterized as saving Europe from the Emirate of C
ordoba's expansion beyond the Iberian Peninsula. Martel's Frankish army de
feated an Arab army, which had crushed all resistance before it. The Cordo
ban Emirate had previously invaded Gaul and had been stopped in its northw
ard sweep at the Battle of Toulouse (721). The hero of that less celebrat
ed event had been duke Odo of Aquitaine, who was not the progenitor of a r
ace of kings and patrons of chroniclers, however. In the interim, the arri
val of a new emir to Cordoba, Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, who brought with h
im a huge force of Arabs and Berber horsemen, triggered a far greater inva
sion. Odo, hero of Toulouse, was badly defeated in the Muslim invasi
on of 732 at the Battle of the River Garonne, where the western chronicle
rs stated, "God alone knows the number of the slain," and fled to Charle
s, seeking help. Thus, Odo faded into history, and Charles marched into it
.

Pippin of Herstal (Fr. Pépin), also known as Pippin the Younger, (b. 635
or 6 40 - December 16, 714).
He was the grandson of Pippin the Elder from the marri age of Ansegisel
and Begga, the daughter of the Elder. As the Mayor of the Pa lace of
Austrasia, Neustria and Burgundy from 680 to 714, he gradually contro lled
the Frankish court. The Merovingian king Theuderic III attempted to oust
Pepin from his post, but he was defeated at Tertry in 687. Pepin then
beca me the actual ruler of Austrasia, keeping a strong influence over the
other F rankish kingdoms. His descendants continued to serve as Mayors of
the Palace, eventually becoming the legal rulers of the Frankish kingdoms.
Around 670, Pi ppin II married PlectruDe for her inheritance of
substantial estates in the M oselle region. They produced at least two
children and through them at least two significant grandchildren. These
legitimate children and grandchildren cl aimed themselves to be Pepin's
true successors and with the help of his widow PlectruDe tried to
maintain the position of Mayor of the Palace after Pepin II’s death on
December 16, 714. However, Charles Martel, Pippin's son by his mistress,
Alpaida (or Chalpaida), had gained favour among the Austrasians,
primarily for his military prowess and ability to keep them well supplied
wit h booty from his conquests. Despite the efforts of PlectruDe to
silence her r ival's child by imprisoning him, he became the sole Mayor of
the Palace and d e facto ruler of Francia.

hen III in 754. After Pippin's death in 768, Carloman and Charles divid
ed the kingdom between them, with Carloman taking the eastern portion, Aus
trasia. There was considerable tension between the brothers, which m
ay be the reason why, at Carloman's death, his wife Gerberga fled with h
er sons to the court of Desiderius, king of the Lombards. Because some sou
rces state that Gerberga was Desiderius' daughter, it is difficult to jud
ge the level of fraternal tension. Chronicles more sympathetic to Charl
es imply that he was bemused by Gerberga's action. Upon Carloman's deat
h, his kingdom was absorbed into Charles', who then distributed portio
ns to his own sons.

on as Eth who fathered Gillemichael". Heth Aethelred is probably the Edelr
ad and Eth mentioned by Burke's Peerage. However several internet lines ha
ve Duffagan or Duff between Eth and Gillemichael and would explain the "Ma

Gillemich(a)el MacDuff, Earl of Fife c1129, died c1133-36. [Burke's Peerag
e]
Note: Burke's Peerage has Gillemichael as son of the Earl of Fife, who th
ey call Edelrad (and I name Heth Aethelred), but with no explanation of wh
ere the "MacDuff" name comes from. I believe that sources in World Conne
ct are correct: Gillemichael is son of Duff MacEth, son of Heth/Eth Aethel
red/Edelrad.

EARLDOM OF FIFE
Gillemichel MacDuff, Earl of Fife, who, as "Gillemichel Makduff" (c), "Gil
lemichel Comes", and "Gillemichel, Comes De Fif" witnessed several charter
s. He appears to have rendered great service to the King, and it is not im
probable that the territorial Earldom became for the first time heredita
ry in him and his heirs. He d. before July 1136. [Complete Peerage V:372]
This is the first appearance of the name "Macduff". Gillemichel is sa
id to have descended from the traditional Macduff called Thane of Fife (th
ough there never were such Thanes) by whom Macbeth was overthrown in 1057.

Queen Gruoch (1007 - 1060) was the daughter of Bodhe, prince of Scotland a
nd thus granddaughter of the late King Kenneth III of Scotland.
Gruoch was first married to Gillacomgain, Mormaer of Moray, to whom she bo
re the future King Lulach of Scotland. In 1032, her father arranged her ma
rriage to Lord Macbeth, member of Moray clan, who would become King of Sco
ts, in 1040, reputedly through her hereditary rights.
Kenneth MacAlpin, King of the Scots and Pics united the two races. Accordi
ng to MacAlpin's law of Tanistry, the Kings of Scotland were to marry t
he Pictish princesses whom held the lands of Scotland. The First Born daug
hter princess was intended to inherit her father's estate. This was not t
he case in Lady MacBeth's case (Lady Gruoch).
Lady Gruoch, step-mother of Lady Gruoch (Lady MacBeth) mustered her ar
my to Kill King Gillacomgen of Moray after he had killed King Boede, the f
ather of Lady MacBeth after BoeDe made his wife the heiress to his estat
e. Gruoch (LMB) was pregnant at the time of her husband's murder. She fl
ed to the safety of her husband's cousin, MacBeth. MacBeth was a general.
MacBeth and Banquo were the favorites of the newly united Scotland. Many r
iots broke out when Duncan became king. The step-mother Lady Gruoch w
as an ally of Duncan. Duncan had supported the murder of the King of Mora
y. The daughter, Lady Gruoch married MacBeth therefore being known from th
en on as Lady MacBeth. She also despised Duncan for his support of her ste
p-mother.
Lady MacBeth used her ambitions to make her husband a King. Malcolm II h
ad stated before he died that his eldest daughter's bloodline would be t
he Kings of the West and South of Scotland while Jarl had the remaind
er of the Scottish Kingdom. MacBeth descended from the 2nd daughter of Mal
colm II therefore not entitled to the thrown. Duncan was the only child fr
om the eldest daughter Bethoc's line. Lady MacBeth put her intelligen
ce to use.
All of this added to Lady MacBeth's obsession to win back what she felt w
as her birth right. The Law of Tanistry was supposed to be the law of t
he land. Lady MacBeth began to convince her husband that Duncan should di
e. She wanted Macbeth to inherit the joint kingdom with Jarl of Orkneys.
Lady soon found out that MacBeth would not take part in killing his cous
in Duncan. He loved Duncan greatly and honored his thrown. MacBeth had inv
ited Duncan for a holiday to his castle Glamis. While Duncan was sleepin
g, Lady MacBeth used a dagger and killed Duncan. Lady MacBeth realized t
he awful crime and sin she had committed while she was washing Duncan's bl
ood from her hands.
This Pictish Princess had her rightful title and lands now. The cost of th
is was great. Lady MacBeth began to sleep walk. She was doing strange thin
gs like always washing her hands and body complaining she was not cle
an of the sin she had committed. This lasted for 4 years when finally s
he killed herself.
Lady MacBeth did have a conscience. She had committed a horrible crime a
nd knew in her heart she was wrong. The only way for her to escape w
as to end her life. This was also her payment for taking another's life.
The Castle Glamis was once that of the MacBeth's.

Macbeth (c. 1005-August 15, 1057) was the king of Scotland from 1040-1057.
He was the son of Malcolm II's eldest daughter and in some eyes,
including his o wn, had a better claim to the throne than Malcolm II's
chosen successor Dunca n I, who was the son of Malcolm II's second
daughter.
Macbeth formed an alli ance with Thorfinn, Earl of Orkney, son of Malcolm
II's youngest daughter, an d took up arms against Duncan. Duncan died
fighting them in battle near Elgin on August 14, 1040.
Macbeth was a strong king and ruled over a kingdom stable enough for him
to be able to leave for several months on a pilgrimage to Rom e. He
instituted a new form of law and order in Scotland. His reign was noted
as a time of prosperity. However, in 1054, Malcolm Canmore, Duncan's son,
began his campaign for the throne with the assistance of Siward, Earl of
Nort humbria, by capturing the south of Scotland. Macbeth was killed by
Malcolm at a battle near Lumphanan and the throne passed to Macbeth's
stepson, Lulach, in August, 1057.
Macbeth was buried on Iona, the traditional burial place of S cottish
Royalty at that time. His wife was Gruoch--better known to history as
Lady Macbeth.
Mac Bethad was the son of Findláech mac Ruaidrí, mormaer of Moray. His mot
her is sometimes supposed to have been a daughter of Máel Coluim mac Cináe
da. This may be derived from Andrew of Wyntoun's Orygynale Cronykil of Sco
tland which makes Mac Bethad's mother a grand-daughter, rather than a daug
hter, of Máel Coluim. [1]
Mac Bethad's paternal ancestry can be traced in the Irish genealogies cont
ained in the Rawlinson B.502 manuscript:
Mac Bethad son of Findláech son of Ruadrí son of Domnall son of Morggán s
on of Cathamal son of Ruadrí son of Ailgelach son of Ferchar son of Ferg
us son of Nechtan son of Colmán son of Báetán son of Eochaid son of Muired
ach son of Loarn son of Ercc son of Eochaid Muinremuir.[2]
This should be compared with the ancestry claimed for Máel Coluim mac Ciná
eda which traces back to Loarn's brother Fergus Mór.[3] Several of Mac Bet
had's ancestors can tentatively be identified: Ailgelach son of Ferch
ar as Ainbcellach mac Ferchair and Ferchar son of Fergus (correctly, s
on of Feredach son of Fergus) as Ferchar Fota, while Muiredach son of Loar
n, his son Eochaid and Eochaid's son Báetán are given in the Senchus fer n
-Alban. So, while the descendants of Cináed mac Ailpín saw themselves as c
oming off the Cenél nGabráin of Dál Riata, the northern kings of Moray tra
ced their origins back to the rival Cenél Loairn.[4]
Mac Bethad's father Findláech was killed c. 1020 - one obit calls him ki
ng of Alba - most probably by his successor, his brother Máel Brigte's s
on Máel Coluim.[5] Máel Coluim died in 1029, the circumstances are unknow
n, but violence is not suggested; he is called king of Alba by the Anna
ls of Tigernach.[6] However, it should be noted that king of Al
ba is by no means the most impressive title used by the Irish annals. Ma
ny deaths reported in Irish annals in the 11th century are of rulers call
ed Ard Rí Alban - High-King of Scotland. It is not entirely certain wheth
er Máel Coluim was followed by his brother Gilla Coemgáin or by Macbeth.
Gilla Coemgáin's death in 1032 was not reported by Tigernach, but the Anna
ls of Ulster record:
Gilla Coemgáin son of Máel Brigte, mormaer of Moray, was burned together w
ith fifty people.[7]
Some have supposed that Mac Bethad was the perpetrator.[8] Others have not
ed the lack of information in the Annals, and the subsequent killings at t
he behest of Máel Coluim mac Cináeda to suggest other answers.[9] Gilla Co
emgáin had been married to Gruoch, daughter of Boite mac Cináeda, with wh
om he had a son, the future king Lulach.
It is not clear whether Gruoch's father was a son of Cináed mac Duib (d. 1
005) or of Cináed mac Maíl Coluim (d. 997), either is possible chronologic
ally.[10] After Gilla Coemgáin's death, Mac Bethad

Murdered by Malcolm II, King of Scotland.
Kenneth III of Scotland was king of Scotland from 997 to 1005. He was the
son of King Dubh, fourth cousin of the previous king Constantine III, and
first cousin of his successor Malcolm II.
Kenneth was the last king of Scotland to succeed to the throne through
the s ystem of tanistry, whereby the succession was shared between two
family lines and the dying king named the person from the other family
line who was to su cceed him. The system was much discredited as it
ensured the two royal famili es of Scotland were in a constant state of
war with each other.
Kenneth and his son Giric were both killed in battle at Monzievaird,
TaysiDe in 1005. It was his first cousin Malcolm, succeeding him at the
battle, who abolished the tanistry system by killing all of Kenneth's
male descendants.
However Kenne th had a granddaughter, Gruoch, via his daughter Boite,
whose first husband w as Gillacomgain. They had a son called Lulach. She
then married King Macbeth I of Scotland (becoming Lady Macbeth). On the
death of Macbeth her son via he r first marriage, Kenneth III's great
grandson, succeeded to the throne, to b ecome King Lulach of Scotland.

Findláech of Moray, or Findláech mac Ruaidrí, was the King or Mormaer of M
oray, ruling from some point before 1014 until his death in 1020.
In the Annals of Ulster and in the Book of Leinster, Findláech is call
ed rí Alban, which meant "King of Scotland" in the Gaelic language. As f
ar as we know from other sources, the only rí Alban of the time was Máel C
oluim mac Cináeda, i.e. Máel Coluim II, so this title can only mean that F
indláech, as ruler of Moray, was understood by many to have been the High-
King of all northern Britain.
However, Findláech's main claim to fame these days is as the father of M
ac Bethad, made famous by William Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Indeed, t
he Irish historian known in Latin as Marianus Scotus calls Macbethad simp
ly MacFindlaeg.
Historians are fairly certain that Findláech was ruling before 1014 becau
se the Orkneyinga Saga records a that before the Battle of Clontarf, Ja
rl Siguðr of Orkney fought a battle with the Scots, who were led by a Ja
rl Finnlekr (i.e. Findláech the Mormaer). An Irish princess called Eith
ne made a banner for Siguðr, which had on it a raven. The saga records th
at Siguðr later brought the banner to Clontarf, where was killed. If we be
lieve this, then Findláech would be ruler quite a bit before 1014.
His death date, as mentioned above, derives from the Annals of Ulster, whi
ch notes s.a. 1020 Finnloech m. Ruaidhri, ri Alban, a suis occisus est, th
at is, that Findláech was killed by his own people. No reason for th
is is given, but the logical thing is to concluDe that his successor, h
is nephew Máel Coluim mac Máil Brigti, had something to do with it. Indee
d, the Annals of Tigernach tell us that the sons of Máel Brigte were respo
nsible; the only sons we know of are Máel Coluim and Gilla Coemgáin, bo
th of whom evidently benefited from the killing, as both succeeded to t
he throne.

Died in battle at the Battle of Durham on 17 Oct 1346.
Sir Robert Keith married Barbara, daughter of the Chief of DOUGLAS, and
had John (who d ied before his father, but left a son named Robert) and
William (who accompan ied King Robert's heart to the Holy Land). Sir
Robert staunchly defended Scot land against the English in the time of
John BALIOL, and supported Robert BRU CE. He was a principal in winning
the battle of Inverury, and commanded 500 h orse in victory at the 1314
Battle of Bannockburn. For his valuable service, Sir Robert was awarded a
large part of the lands forfieted by his cousin, The Earl of Buchan, who
had supported the English, and received a grant of the R oyal Forest of
Kintore. Was killed at the battle of Duplin (1332 a.d.).
But in 1294 Sir Robert Keith, Great Marischal of Scotland, received a
charter fro m King John. He was a man of great energy and ability, and
took an active par t in the affairs of the nation and the War of
Independence. He joined Robert Bruce, and fought in the battle of
Inverurie, in which he greatly distinguish ed himself. Shortly after this
event he received a grant of lands in Aberdeen -shire, including the seat
called "Hall Forest" in the parish of Kintore.
At the Battle of Bannockburn Sir Robert, Great Marischal, had a very
important duty to discharge. The King gave him the command of the
Scottish cavalry— num bering only 500, and held in reserve for a special
movement After the English cavalry had many times furiously charged the
Scottish spearmen, but were rep elled, then the English bowmen and archers
supported the cavalry charges by s howers of arrows and stones, which
severely galled the ranks of the Scottish spearmen. It was at this
critical moment that Sir Robert Keith, with his 500 cavalry, advanced
round the Milton Bog and charged the left flank of the arch ers, and, as
they had no weapons with which to defend themselves at close qua rters,
they were instantly broken and scattered in all directions, and so
u tterly cowed that they declined to return to their posts, in spite of
all the efforts of their leaders to rally them and restore order. They
dispersed and fled headlong.
There is no reasonable doubt that the dispersion and dispiriti ng of the
English bowmen by Sir Robert Keith’s small body of cavalry was one of the
main causes which contributed to the complete overthrow of the great
English army on the field of Bannockburn.
Sir Robert was present at the meeti ng of Parliament in the Abbey of
Arbroath in April, 1320, in which the memora ble address to the Pope was
drawn up. In this spirited and constitutional add ress, the following,
amongst other very important sentences, occur:—"For, so long as one
hundred of us remain alive, we will never consent in any way to s ubject
ourselves to the English; since it is not for glory, nor riches, nor
honours, but liberty alone that we fight and contend for, which no good
man will lose but with his life."
On the 7th of November, 1324, Robert I. granted a charter of the lands of
Keith Marischal to Sir Robert Keith and his heirs, and the office of
Great Marischal of Scotland.
The Marischal married Barbara Douglas, by whom he had two sons, John and
William. John, the elder, died in his father’s lifetime, leaving a son,
Sir Robert Keith. The Marischal was en gaged in the battle of Dupplin, and
fell on that disastrous field, on the 11t h of August, 1332.

EUPHEMIA ROSS, the 2nd wife and only queen of Robert II, was the d aughter
of Hugh De Ross, 4th Earl of Ross. She was probably born between abou t
1325 and 1330, but this is very uncertain. Her mother was the earl's 2nd
wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir David Graham of Montrose. Euphemia's
parents were granted a dispensation to marry, and a legitimation of past
and future c hildren born to them, 29 November 1329.
She had married 1stly, John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray, who was killed
at the disastrous battle of Neville's Cross , 17 October 1346, leaving her
a childless and vulnerable widow of, at the mo st, 21 years of age, and
probably rather younger.
She married 2ndly (dispens ation granted by Pope Innocent VI at Avignon, 2
May 1355), as his 2nd wife, R obert Stewart, Earl of Strathearn, who
succeeded to the throne as Robert II, 22 February 1371. She gave him 2
sons and 2 daughters. See: Genealogical Note s page. She was crowned at
Scone by Alexander De Kyninmund II, bishop of Aber deen, in 1372.
She died in 1387, predeceasing her husband by about 3 years, bu t the
exact date and the place of her death and burial seem to have gone
un recorded. She must have been a very good-natured and long-suffering
lady, put ting up with the numerous and flagrant infidelities of her royal
husband. Her personal charm and beauty may be inferred from the fact that
both her daught ers possessed those qualities in a marked degree.

Longnewton in 1497. The district of Lo ngnewton is presently annexed to
the parish of Ancrum.
The barony of Fairnin gton was possessed by a family named Burnard in the
twelfth century. In 1200 the monks of Melrose obtained from Richard
Burnard thirteen acres and a rood of his lands of Fairnington.
Fairnington remained in the name of Rutherford f or more than four
centuries with the exception of a few months. This was a lo ng descent in
one name, considering the vicissitudes so frequent in the histo ry of
Border houses.

"The ancient parish of Roxburgh was more extensive than the modern
parish; and it took its name from an ancient burgh, now called Old
Roxburgh, in connection with which was an ancient famou s castle; but the
parts of the ancient parish on which the burgh and the cast le stood, are
now united to Kelso. A chapel, subordinate to the mother church of Old
Roxburgh, anciently stood on the manor of Fairnington."

Our George of Langnewton held his lands from Robert Douglas of Lochleven.
This is another Douglas sharing his lands with our Rutherfords.
The connection to the earliest Rutherfords is through Sir Richard and
Jane Douglas.
The authors have gone to great extent to prove that Sir Richard had 3
sons. The Peerage says 5. I guess we can accept either as being true.
The a uthor has Robert of Chatto as the brother of Sir Richard. This would
not been ough for the Douglases to claim Robert as near kin!

William, son of Freskin, is a witness to a charter granted by Malco
lm IV to Berowaldus Flandrensis of the lands of Innes, at Christmas 116
0. Between 1165 and 1171 he obtained a charter from William the Lion of t
he lands of Strabrok, Duffus, Rosisle, Inchikel, Machir, and Kintrai, 'qu
as terras pater suus Friskin tenuit tempore regis David avi mei. This char
ter is now missing, but it was seen and copied by Nisbet. William witness
ed several charters of King William between 1187 and 1199, and died abo
ut 1203, when his eldest son appears as Lord of Duffus. Mr Cosmo Innes, ed
itor of the 'Chartulary of Moray,' founding for want of better authorit
y, on a marginal note in the register relative to Gilbert, Archdeacon of M
oary, afterwards Bishop of Caithness - 'Iste Gilbertus erat filius domi
ni de Duffus' - remards that if the anonymous annotator be correct, Gilber
t, along with John and Richard his brothers, must all apparently have be
en sons of William, son of Freskin, Lord of Duffus, and nephews of Hugh Fr
eskin. But if Richard, brother of Gilbert, be identical with the Richa
rd de Moravia to whom the Abbot of Dunfermline, about 1240, gives and conf
irms all his lands of Kildun, near Dingwall, in Ross, then the annotator m
ust be wrong, because this Richard is distinctly called 'filius Murdaci fi
lii Alexandri de Moravia.' [The Scots Peerage II:121-122]
William, son of Freskin, who under that designation appears on record fir
st as a witness to a charter granted at Perth by King Malcolm IV in 11
60 to Berowald the Fleming of the lands of Innes, in Morayshirer. Betwe
en 1166 and 1171 he had the grant, already cited, of his father's lan
ds of Duffus, etc. He witnessed a number of royal charters, chiefly tho
se granted at Elgin or elsewhere in his own neighbourhood, though he is al
so found further afield. He seems to have survived the year 1204, if he we
re the William Fresekyn who was Sheriff of Invernaryn in that year. [The S
cots Peerage VIII:320]
~1107 - <1172 Freskin the Fleming 65 65 REFN: 7555AN
Freskin, whose curious name has been the subject of some speculatio
n. He is said to have been a person of Flemish origin, whom David I took n
orth with him from the Lowlands and settled in Moray, when he suppress
ed an insurrection of the natives of that province in 1130. From the ter
ms of a charter granted to one of his sons by William the Lion, it would a
ppear that Freskin held from King David the lands of Strabrok in Linlithgo
wshire, along with his lands in Moray, but he is nowhere designed 'Flandre
nsis' or le Flamyng, as was the custome when Flemings were mentioned in ea
rly charters. It may be, as has been surmised, that his name is the sa
me as Fresicus, the Low Latin for Friscian, and was therefore sufficient
ly distinctive. On the other hand, Freskin may be a corruption of some com
pund of the Gaelic 'Fear,' with a noun or adjective descriptive of some tr
ait of character or physical peculiarity. [The Scots Peerage II:120-121]
Freskin, a person of unknown descent, but who is believed to be of Flemi
sh origin, upon whom King David I, in pusuance, it is said, of a colonisi
ng policy, bestowed wide landed possessions. These included Strabrock (Uph
all and Broxburn), in West Lothian, and the lands of Duffus, Roseisle, Inc
hkeil, Macher, and Kintray, forming the larger part of the parish of Duff
us and a portion of the modern parish of Spynie, between Elgin and the Mor
ay Firth. At least Freskin is said to have held these lands of King Dav
id I, for Freskin himself is named only once, in a charter granted to h
is son William, between 1166 and 1171, by King William the Lion, which con
firms the lands named as having been held by Freskin. Freskin therefore mu
st have died before 1166. According to the editor of the 'Registrum Moravi
ense,' followed by Sir William Fraser in his 'Sutherland Book,' he had thr
ee sons, Hugh, who was the ancestor of the Sutherland family, William of D
uffus, and Andrew, a churchman. But Hugh, son of Freskin, is only named on
ce, in a writ dated between 1147 and 1150, and that in such circumstan
ce as to make the evidence untrustworthy, while Andrew is clearly identic
al with a namesake of later date. The weight of testimony rather poin
ts to the probability that Freskin had only one son, a view already adopt
ed by Lord Hailes and George Chalmers. Shaw, in his 'History of Moray,' al
so assigns to Freskin only one son. [The Scots Peerage VIII:319-320]
De Moravia
The Morays are a family of Flemish descent, who settled in the northern di
strict of Moray during the reign of David I. They can trace their origi
ns in north-eastern Scotland to Freskin, a man of Flemish origins, who w
as granted lands by the king in Duffus, Moray, where he built a motte a
nd bailey castle on the shore of Loch Spyine. Freskin, and the other famil
ies of French and Norman descent granted lands, were used to establish roy
al authority in the outlying Gaelic districts, which in the past had enjoy
ed their own semi-independent traditions. In this regard they occupied t
he same military, political and administrative role as the Old English alo
ng the Gaelic frontiers of Ireland; and like the Old English time wore aw
ay any cultural and linguistic difference between them and the native peop
les.

*************
Jim Weber: William Malet, of Granville, Norman dy; also held lands in
Lincs before 1066 (possibly by virtue of his mother's putative status of
Englishwoman); granted the feudal Barony of Eye, Suffolk, following the
Conquest, in which he was one of William I's chief lieutenants, being
allegedly given the task by William of burying Harold's body after
H astings; Sheriff of Yorks 1068; married Hesilia Crispin (living 10 86),
gggda u of Rollo The Dane, Duke of Normandy, and died c 1071. [Burke's
Peerage]
Ac cording to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet De Graville
stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the Conquest. There can
be no doub t about his presence there, which is subscribed to by William
of Poitiers, Gu y of Amiens, Orderic Vital, and all the historians of this
epoch. So much has been placed on record concerning him that just a few
facts of his life will be recited here. He was probably descended from
Gerard, a Scandinavian prince and companion of Duke Rollo, which gave the
name of the fief of Gerardville or Graville, near Havre. Robert, the
eldest son, occurs in a document of abou t 990 in Normandy. On his
mother's siDe William Malet was of Anglo-Saxon orig in, for she was
probably the daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and Godwa o r Godgifu,
the supposed sister of Thorold the Sheriff in the time of Edward t he
Confessor, and therefoe the aunt of Edwin and Morcar, Earls of
Northumbe rland. He was nearly killed in the battle of Hastings but was
rescued by the sire De Montfort and William of Vieuxpont, and was
appointed by William the C onqueror to take charge of the body of Harold,
a statement that has been disp uted. The consensus of opinion favors it,
and it is most logical if William M alet's mother was as stated the sister
of Algar II., 7th Earl of Mercia, who was the father of Alditha, wife of
Harold. He accompanied King William at the reduction of Nottingham and
York in 1068, for which he was rewarded with the shreivalty of land in
that county. Gilbert De Gand and Robert Fitz Richard w ere also commanders
in this expedition. The following year he was besieged in the castle of
York by Edgar, the Saxon prince, and was only saved from surre nder by the
timely arrival of the Conqueror. In the same year he was attacked by the
Danes, who captured the city of York with great slaughter and took
William Malet, his wife and children, prisoners, but their lives were
spared, as was that of Gilbert De Gand, for the sake of their ransoms.
There is evid ence that he was slain in this year, but it is uncertain and
the date of his death is unknown. An entry in Domesday that "William
Malet was seized of this place (Cidestan, Co. Suffolk), where he
proceeded on the King' s service whe re he died," would indicate that his
death occurred during the compilation of that book. He was witness to a
charter of King William to the church of St. Martin-le- Grand, in London,
and is there styled "princeps," which title, how ever, was honorary and
not hereditary, having ceased with his death."
------ ------------------------------------
William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may ha ve been called, "Sire de
Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine betwee n Le Havre and
Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to
have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and h ad some
sort of assoc iation with King Harold of England before the conquest.
William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King
Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that
Will iam and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's
daughter, Abela.

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
The omission of the name of this personage, the subject o f so much
controversy, by the author of the "Roman De Rou," is not so remarka ble as
his silence respecting Eustace, Count of Boulogne, whose rank in his o wn
country, and the unenviable notoriety he had justly or unjustly acquired
in England, would, we should imagine, render it impossible for him to
have b een completely overlooked. Nor does the appearance of the name of
Peverel in the Roll of Battle Abbey, Duchsne's List, the rhyming
catalogue, and those re cently compiled by Messrs. De Magny and Leopold
Delisle, justify us in claimi ng for him, on their unsupported and very
questionable authority, the right t o be classed amongst the conquerors at
Senlac.
At the same time we have no e vidence, as in the cases of Roger de
Montgomeri, Hugh d'Avranches, and Henry De Percy, to warrant our,
entertaining a contrary opinion. We must therefore give him the benefit
of the doubt, particularly as we find him as early as 10 68 in charge of
the newly-built Castle of Nottingham, and at the time of the compilation
of Domesday the lord of one hundred and sixty-two manors in Engla nd, and
possessing in Nottingham alone forty-eight merchants' or traders' hou ses,
thirteen knights' houses, and eight bondsmen's cottages, besides ten
a cres of land granted to him by the King to make an orchard, and the
churches of St. Mary, St. Peter, and St. Nicholas, all three of which we
find he gave with their land, tithe, and appurtenances by his charter to
the Priory of Len ton.
Surely his services must have been most important -- his reputation for
valour and ability well established, to have merited such magnificent
reward s. To have obtained for him from the wary and suspicious Conqueror
so importa nt a trust as the custody of Nottingham Castle -- at so early
an age too -- f or if the date of his death in the register of St.
James's, Northampton, one of his foundations, can be relied on, viz, 5th
kalends of February, 1113 (111 4 according to our present calculation), he
could scarcely have been more tha n four or five-and-twenty at the time of
his appointment.
How is it then tha t, previous to that period, no deed of arms is recorded
of him? That in all t he battles and commotions of which Normandy was the
theatre during the thirty years preceding the Conquest, the name of
Peverel, if such a family existed in the duchy, never crops up, even
accidentally, in any of the pages of the c ontemporary chroniclers?
A Ranulph Peverel also appears in Domesday as the lor d of sixty-four
manors. Of a verity, the merits of these Peverels must have b een great,
or their influence at Court from some cause or another extraordina ry.
Of course, if it were true, as we have hitherto been led to believe, that
William Peverel was a natural son of William the Conqueror, not a word
more need be wasted on the subject; but Mr. Eaton, in his History of
Shropshire, discredits the report, and Mr. Edward Freeman rejects it with
contempt and in dignation as the unvouched-for assertion of a Herald (see
vol. i, p. 72).
I am unfortunate in being opposed in my opinion to two such great
authorities; but until they produce something like evidence to support
theirs, I cannot co nsent to surrender my own.
Let us dispassionately examine the arguments, of th e first dissenter, Mr.
Eaton, who in refutation of the assertion says, "Its i mprobability arises
in two ways. It is inconsistent with the general characte r of Duke
William." To whom shall we refer for the general character of this master
of dissimulation, who so thoroughly understood and practised the polic y
of assuming a virtue if he had it not? To his paid servants and courtly
f latterers, Guillaume De Poitiers, his own chaplain, or Guy of Amiens,
his wif e's almoner, who, if he did write the "Carmen de

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
The "Sire d'Estoteville" of the Roman De Rou (l. 13,561) was in all
probability Robert, surnamed Fronteboeuf, Granteboef, or, accordin g to
the French antiquaries, Grand-bois; but whether he was of
Estouteville -sur-Cailly or Estouteville-sur-Mer may be an open question.
There was a knig htly family deriving their name from the former (at
present a commune in the canton of Bouchy, arrondissement De Rouen), one
of whom, Nicholas d'Estoutevi lle, the great-great-grandson of Robert,
married Gunnor or Gunnora, daughter of Hugh IV De Gournay, and widow of
Robert De Gant, in the 12th century, and received with her in dower the
manors of Beddingfield and Kimberly in Norfolk , which remained for many
generations in the family of Stuteville, as it is c alled in England. This
Estouteville was formerly a mouvance, i.e, a dependenc y on the fief of La
Ferté en-Brai, of which the Gournays were the lords, and it is therefore
likely that Robert d'Estouteville followed Hugh II De Gournay to England
in the invading army.
Dugdale's account of him and his son is ve ry meagre and incorrect, and
neither M. le Prévost nor Mr. Edward Taylor has taken any trouble on the
subject, although some information has been furnishe d us by Orderic which
enables me to correct Dugdale and answer the observatio n of M. le
Prévost, echoed by Mr. Taylor, that he (Robert) must have been ver y young
if he was the same who fell forty years after at Tenchebrai, in 1106, by
the simple assurance to them that he was not the same.
Some ten or eleve n years previous to the Conquest, Robert I
d'Estouteville was governor of the Castle of Ambriegrave;res, and stoutly
defended it against Geoffrey Martel u ntil relieved by the approach of
Duke William. He could not therefore have be en very young even at that
time-say between twenty and thirty, and in 1066 he would have been
between thirty and forty. Of his exploits at Senlac we hear nothing, and
his name does not appear in Domesday, so we are in ignorance of the
reward, if any, which he received for his services. The latest mention of
him is by Orderic, who records him as a witness to a confirmation charter
of William son of Fulk De Querneville, Dean of Evreux, to the Abbey of
Ouche or St. Evroult, before the year 1089.
The date of his death is unascertained; but he was succeeded by his son
Robert II d'Estouteville, altogether omitted by Dugdale, but in
connection with whom the following strange story is told b y Orderic (lib.
xi, cap. xiii.): --
" The same year (1106) the following occ urrence happened in Normandy: --
Robert d'Estoteville, a brave and powerful b aron, was a strong partizan
of the Duke (Robert Court-heuse), and superintend ed his troops and
fortresses in the Pays De Caux. It chanced on Easter-day (9 th of April,
1105/6), as his chaplain was administering the holy sacrament to the
baron and his household, that a certain knight having approached the
a ltar for the purpose of reverently receiving the Eucharist, the priest
took t he consecrated wafer in his hand for the purpose of putting it into
the mouth of the communicant, but found that he was quite incapable of
lifting his han d from the altar. Both parties were exceedingly terrified
by this circumstanc e, but at length the priest said to the knight, 'Take
it if you can; for myse lf, it is out of my power to move my hand and
deliver the Lord's body to you. ' Upon this the knight stretched his neck
over the altar, with some effort re ached the chalice, and received the
Host in his open mouth from the priest's hand. This extraordinary
occurrence covered him with confusion, and apprehend ing some misfortune,
but of what nature he knew not, he distributed in conseq uence the
greatest portion of his wardrobe and other property amongst the poo r and
clergy. He was slain soon after Easter in

Ralph de Mortimer, the presumed son of Roger de Mortimer, accompanying t

He was the son of Ranulph III le Meschin, first Earl of Chester and Luc
y. In 1141, he married Maud of Gloucester, daughter of Robert de Caen, Ea
rl of Gloucester and Maud Fitz-Hamon. (Wikipedia)
Ranulf defected from the Empress to Stephen in 1145. This was rather surpr
ising as he had extensive estates in Normandy, which was now under the con
trol of Geoffrey of Anjou, husband to the Empress. It was believed he h
ad suffered greatly to Welsh incursions into his lands. He was also se
en as the arch-rebel, as he had precipitated the capture of the king at Li
ncoln. However, on the other hand, Ranulf could exercise his quarrel wi
th David King of Scotland regarding his coveted northern lands. Since 11
41 David had been allied to the Empress, so it is unsurprising that Ranu
lf switched sides. It is probable that Phillip the son of Earl Robert, Ran
ulf’s brother-in-law, may well have acted as an intermediary with the kin
g, as Phillip had defected to the king, standing against his own father. R
anulf came to the king at Stamford, repented his previous crimes and was r
estored to favour in late 1145 or early 1146. Ranulf was allowed to reta
in Lincoln Castle until he could recover his Normandy lands. Ranulf demons
trated his good will by helping Stephen to capture Bedford from Miles de B
eauchamp and by bringing 300 knights to the seige of Wallingford.
Although Ranulf’s support was welcomed by Stephen, it was not so welcom
ed by some of Stephen’s other supporters, whom Ranulf had seized land fro
m. Those magnates especially jealous of Ranulf were William de Clerfeit
h, Gilbert de Gant, Earl Alan of Richmond, William Peverel of Nottingha
m, William d’Aubigny and John Count of Eu. Many of the magnates were alarm
ed when it was discovered that Ranulf wanted the King to take part in a ca
mpaign against the Welsh. His opponents counseled the king that Wales w
as ideal for an ambush, and that the Earl might be planning treachery sin
ce he had offered no hostages or security for his good faith. So far as St
ephen went suspicions never fell on deaf ears, and it gave him the opportu
nity to practise his special technique of the contrived quarrel at cour
t. In this case the quarrel was at Northampton and was provoked by an unna
med advisor who told the Earl that the king would not assist him unle
ss he restored all the property he had taken and delivered hostages for h
is future loyalty. The Earl refused the request, stating that this was n
ot why he had come back to court and he had not been given notice of the m
atter. In the ensuing quarrel he was accused of treason, arrested and impr
isoned in chains until his friends succeeded in coming to terms with the K
ing (28 August 1146). It was then agreed that the earl should be releas
ed provided he surrendered all the royal lands and castles he had seized (
Lincoln included), gave hostages and took a solemn oath not to resist t
he king in future.
Ranulf was understandably angered as he was arrested whilst in the king
’s peace and protection and in contravention of the oath which the king h
ad sworn to him at Stamford. He revolted as soon as he regained his liber
ty having learnt it was useless to try to come to terms with a king who d
id not keep his word. When was set free he “burst into a blind fury of reb
ellion scarcely discriminating between friend or foe”.
When Ranulf made abortive attacks on Coventry and Lincoln (see below) t
he king seized his hostages. The most important of these was Ranulf’s neph
ew Gilbert fitz Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford whom Stephen refus
ed to release unless he surrendered his castles. Gilbert reacted to th
is in the customary method, agreeing to the condition and then revolti
ng as soon as he was at liberty. This action pushed the Clares into the co
nflict, from which they had previously remained aloof.

Godiva (sometimes Godgifu) (c. 980 - 1067) was an Anglo-Saxon lady, who, a
ccording to legend, roDe naked through the streets of Coventry in Engla
nd in order to gain a remission of the oppressive toll imposed by her husb
and on his tenants.
Legend
According to the story, Lady Godiva was the beautiful wife of Leofric I
II (968 - 1057), Earl of Mercia and lord of Coventry. The people of that c
ity were suffering grievously under the earl's oppressive taxation. Lady G
odiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refus
ed to remit the tolls. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he wou
ld grant her request if she would riDe naked through the streets of the to
wn. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation th
at all persons should keep within doors or shut their windows, she roDe th
rough, clothed only in her long hair. One person disobeyed her proclamatio
n, a tailor, ever afterwards known as Peeping Tom. He bored a hole in h
is shutters that he might see Godiva pass and is said to have been stru
ck blind. Her husband kept his word and abolished the onerous taxes.
The oldest form of the legend has Godiva passing through Coventry market f
rom one end to the other while the people were assembled, attended on
ly by two female (clothed) riders. This version is given in Flores Histori
arum by Roger of Wendover (d. 1236), a somewhat gullible collector of anec
dotes, who quoted from an earlier writer. The still later story, with i
ts episoDe of Peeping Tom, appeared first among 17th century chronicler
s. Whether the Lady Godiva of this story is the Godiva or Godgifu ("gi
ft of God") of history is undecided.
Roger of Wendover may not have understood the power and rights of wom
en in preconquest England. Godiva belonged to the second-wealthiest fami
ly in Britain at the time--second only to the Godwins--and she ruled Conve
ntry in her own right at the time of the Domesday Book. Though she may ha
ve inherited the land from her husband, she did own her land herself. So
me scholars speculate that she was also the harsh landlord.
It was customary at that time for penitents to make a public processi
on in only their shift-a sleeveless white garment similar to a slip toda
y, and one which was certainly considered "underwear". Godiva may have rep
ented of her harshness, traveled through town as a penitent, her people wi
tnessing their feared landlord humilated in her shift. Thus, scholars spec
ulate, Godiva's story may have passed into folk history to be record
ed in a rather, but not substantially, romanticized version.
A statue of Lady Godiva in central Coventry
The claim that Godiva's long hair effectively hid her from sight is genera
lly believed, like the story of Peeping Tom, to have been a later additio
n, but compare Rapunzel. Certain other thematic elements are familiar in m
yth and fable: the resistant Lord (Esther and Ahasuerus), the exacted prom
ise, the stringent condition, the test of chastity. Even if Peeping T
om is a late addition, his being struck blind demonstrates the closely kn
it themes of the violated Mystery and the punished intruder (compare Dia
na and Actaeon).
It is also thought that Lady Godiva's "nakedness" refers to her riding thr
ough the streets stripped of her jewellery-trademark of her upper class ra
nk.

Perhaps one of the most famous early personalities of the period was La
dy Godiva (Godwa or Godgifu) who allegedly roDe naked the streets of Coven
try in Warwickshire as a protest against her husband's high taxes on the p
eople of the city. This husband, Earl Leofric, a Saxon Earl of Mercia, di
ed an old man in 1057, nine years before the Norman Conquest. They seeming
ly had issue, at least one daughter, who married into the Malet famil
y. 29 years after her husband's death, Lady (Countess) Godiva held many es
tates in Warwickshire, including Coventry, as revealed by the Domesday Bo
ok in 1086. Chronologically, either Leofric had married a child brid
e, or Lady Godiva was a very old woman at the time of the Domesday Surv
ey in 1086. The former is the most likely. The lordships bestowed on La
dy Godiva in Warwickshire by William the Conqueror in 1066 were considerab
le, probably the result of an alliance struck either with Leofric or La
dy Godiva before the Conquest. Since, Lady Godiva was a wealthy woman in 1
057, and still wealthy after the Conquest, it is not likely she display
ed herself in protest after that date, since she would have been protesti
ng her own taxation. She apparently inherited her lands and titles in 105
7. Therefore, the event in question probably took place, if at all, sever
al years before 1057, when, young and innocent, the impatient and passiona
te Lady Godiva, appalled by her aging husband's despotic ways, leapt on h
er nag and took to the streets of Coventry in all her naked glory, perha
ps too young to realize that within a few short years she would be in fu
ll control of all the taxation of her husband's considerable holdings at t
he time of his death, holdings which she carried through to at least 1086.

~1036 William Crispin REFN: 7655AN
The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
It is with great diffidence that I offer any observations whatever on
this very mysterious family, from whom so many of the noblest ho uses in
England claim a descent.
Wace enumerates amongst the combatants at S enlac, "William ki l'on dit
Crespin," and he has previously mentioned "Cil ki donc gardont
Tillieres," who, if not the same personage, must have been one of the
family, and is presumed by M. le Prévost to have been Gilbert Crispin,
second of that name, brother, according to some genealogists, of William,
who was Seigneur De Bec-en-Caux, and whose name appears in charters of
the da tes of 1080 and 1082. But if brothers, of whom were they the sons?
The late Mr . Stacey Grimaldi, who considered himself a collateral
descendant of the fami ly of Crispin, or Crespin as indifferently written,
took great pains to estab lish the fact, and published in the "Gentleman's
Magazine" for October, 1832, a pedigree, founded on his researches,
differing from that set forth in the appendix to the works of Lanfranc by
D'Achery. His son, the Rev. Alexander B. Grimaldi, of Eastry, Kent, has
most kindly intrusted to me what I may call t he working papers of his
father; but unfortunately they do not throw sufficie nt light on the point
in question. Mr. Stapleton, in his illustrations of the Norman Rolls of
the Exchequer, only deals with the later generations, and Le Prévost, in
his notes on Wace, simply makes a statement differing from that of Mr.
Grimaldi, without citing any evidence in support of it.
According to the latter, Crispinus, Baron of Bec, was the son of
Crispina, daughter of Rol lo, by Grimaldus, Prince of Monaco. By his wife
Heloisc of Guynes and Boulogn e, Crispinus had five sons, one of whom,
Rollo, was the father of Goisfrid De Bec or Marescal, and Toustain Fitz
Rou, the standard-bearer at Hastings. Ano ther, named Gilbert Crispin,
first succeeded his father as Baron of Bec, and had three sons, William,
Gilbert, and Milo, all present at Hastings. The usua l provoking omission
of the names and families of the wives of these noble No rmans renders it
impossible to verify their descent, and deprives genealogy o f half its
interest. In this particular case it is exceedingly deplorable, ,a s any
information respecting the female members of this family would tend to
clear up the mystery still involving those of Malet, Lincoln, Roumare,
Tank erville, and others, as I have already pointed out.
We may fairly consider, ho wever, that William Crispin I was the son of
Gilbert, Baron of Bec and Castel lan of Tillières, who defended that
fortress against the French King Henry, a nd reluctantly surrendered it to
him by command of the boy-duke William at th e commencement of his reign.
According to Père Anselm, who quotes, however, n o authority, his mother
was Gonnor, sister of Fulk d'Aunou, the companion of the Conqueror. She
was also the mother of four other children -- Gilbert, who succeeded his
father as Baron of Bec; Robert, who died without issue; and tw o daughters
-- Emma, married to Pierre De Condé, and Elise, wife of Robert Ma let.
According to the same genealogist, William Crispin who fought at Senlac
married, previous to 1077, Eva, the daughter of Simon De Montfort
l'Aumary, by whom he had William Crispin II, the doughty warrior at the
battle of Bremu le, and Gilbert, who became a monk in the Abbey of Bec,
and eventually Abbot of Westminster.
William Crispin I, the subject of this memoir, we have previou sly heard
of as one of the victorious leaders in the murderous battle of Mort emer,
1054. He must have been a very young man at that time, and probably it
was the first combat of consequence he had ever been engaged in. He was
liv ing in 1082, when he witnessed the foundation charters of the
Conqueror to th e Abbeys of St. Stephen and the Holy Trinity, at

IN 1457, James II. created Sir William Keith, first Earl Marischal. He
was pr esent at the Court held in Aberdeen on the 15th of May, 1457, when
Lord Erski ne’s claim to the Earldom of Mar was rejected.
His youngest daughter, Lady Egi dia, married John, second Lord Forbes. Sir
Robert, his eldest son, died in hi s father’s lifetime; and the Marischal
himself died in 1475. He was succeeded by his second son, William, second
Earl Marischal.
In the strife and rebell ion of the southern barons against James III.,
the Marischal acted with sound judgment and moderation. He officiated in
the Parliament of 1488, in which h is duties were to keep guard and order
within the House when Parliament was s itting.
He married Mariota, a daughter of Thomas, Lord Erskine, by whom he had
issue—four sons. From his youngest son, John, the Keiths of Craig were
des cended.

In 1512 Earl William received from James IV. a charter as Marischal of
Scotla nd. His two eldest sons—Robert, Lord Keith, and William—accompanied
the army mustered by James IV. in August, 1513, which crossed the Tweed
on the 22nd an d invaded England. But valuable time was lost in besieging
and taking the Eng lish border castles of Norham, Wark, Etal, and Ford,
which gave the enemy an opportunity of mustering his forces and advancing
against the Scots. The Engl ish army, under the command of the Earl of
Surrey, was advancing northward, a nd messages passed between him and
James IV. Although the King was exceedingl y brave and determined, as
general of an army he had no qualifications whatev er; his idea of
leadership was simply to make a stand-up fight.

The Battle of Otterburn is remembered as the fight where ‘a dead man won
the field’.
A Scottish attack was made in Northumberland on Henry Percy and his
estates, led by James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas, on the 5 August 1388.
Dur ing the fighting, Douglas was very badly wounded.
He told his officers to hiDe him in a bush so that news of his mortal
injuries would not sway the battle. The fighting continued brutally all
through the night until Percy eventually recognised defeat and asked a
Scots knight to whom he should surrender.
The anonymously-written ‘Ballad of Otterburn’ romantically relates the
knight’s reply:-
Thou shalt not yield to lord nor loon,
Nor yet shalt thou to me,
But yield thee to the bracken bush
Grows on yonder lilye-lee.
The battle was won by the Scots, though Douglas was dead. Henry Percy was
to be the source for Shakespeare’s ‘Hotspur’.
Killed in the Battle of Otterburn.

Killed in battle at Dupplin Moor.
The death of Robert I in 1329 left Scotland with a four-year-old king.
David II (1329-71) had a right to the throne solel y because of the career
and residual influence of his father. His claim to th e throne was far
from absolute and, from 1329 was challenged by Edward Ballio l (son of
King John). In September 1332, Balliol (backed by significant English
forces) won a victory against the supporters of David II at Dupplin Moor,
whereafter he was crowned King of Scots at Scone.
David II was sent to Franc e for his own safety in 1334 but Balliol was
driven from Scotland a matter of months later. David returned to Scotland
in 1341 and pursued a foreign polic y largely in French interests.
~1305 Gillescop MacGilchrist REFN: 7974AN ~1284 - 1333 William Abernethy 49 49 REFN: 7975AN
In 1332 during an Anglo-Scots peace, Edward Balliol sailed with
eighty-eight ships from the Humber to Fife and fought his way to Scone.
His father John ha d abdicated in 1296 and Edward, claiming his family as
still the true royal l ine, had himself crowned King of Scotland.
David II’s claim had the endorsemen t of the Scottish Parliament and so
Sir Archibald Douglas, guardian of David II, immediately swept Edward out
of the country ‘with one leg booted and the other bare’.
The puppet-king returned in 1333 leading an English army across t he
border and laying siege to Berwick. Edward III joined with him in the May
and together their men set in upon Halidon Hill, a perfect vantage point
gi ving command of all approaches to Berwick. Sir Archibald Douglas was in
North umberland and made for the town to relieve it.
The only means of attack for th e Scots was by working their way through a
bog before clambering up the hills ide. As they attempted this the English
archers picked off their targets at e ase.
By the end of that 19 July Sir Archibald, six Scottish earls, seventy
b arons, five hundred knights and an unknown number of spearmen were dead,
whil e England’s dead numbered fourteen.
Unsaveable Berwick fell.

Robert Stewart (1st Duke of Albany)
c.1340 - 1419
Regent of Scotland. Son of King Robert II (1316-90), and brother of King
Robert III (c.1340-1406) and Al exander Stewart, the Wolf of Badenoch
(1343-1405). As Prime Minister, he held significant power even while his
older brother was on the throne, and was cr eated Duke of Albany in 1398.
To maintain his power, Stewart murdered his nep hew, the Duke of Rothesay,
who was heir to the throne and was appointed Regen t on his brother's
death (1406). Conveniently, the young King James I (1394-1 437) was
captured by the English in the same year, and unsurprisingly Stewart made
no attempt to secure James' release. Stewart ruled until his own death

1319 William Fraser REFN: 8047AN ~1230 - >1307 Richard Fraser 77 77 Sir Richard Fraser of Touch Fraser, succeeded his grandfather in the lan
ds of Touch Fraser, in the county of Stirling. He was knighted before 127
6, when he witnessed a resignation of the lands of Pencaitland, in East Lo
thian. In 1289 he attended the case between the executors of King Alexand
er III and John de Masson, on behalf of his uncle William. He swore feal
ty to Edward I on 8 July 1291, and was appointed one of the forty audito
rs to hear claims of Competitors for the Scottish throne and report thereo
n. On 14 November 1292 King Edward granted him the ward of the lands of t
he late Richard de Glen in Peeblesshire. In January 1292-3 he was Sheri
ff of Berwick. In 1295 he seems to have rebelled against Edward and to ha
ve been forfeited; but on 3 September 1296 his lands were restored to hi
m. He had been made prisoner with William de Douglas at the surrender of B
erwick.

He swore fealty to Edward I for his lands in Stirlingshire and Dumfriesshi
re on 28 August 1296 at Berwick. His seals, two specimens of which are ext
ant, bear on a triangular shield six rosettes or cinquefoils 3, 2, 1. The
re is no record of his death, but he was alive in 1307, when he was declar
ed to have been, and to be still, a rebel. It is not known who Sir Richa
rd Fraser married, but he is presumed to have left a son. [The Scots Peera

1756 Jacob Moscherosch REFN: 8049AN
It is the original name that began the Mushrush families. My Moscheroush
fami ly was from Germany and one geneologist traced the family name to
Spanish imm igrants to Germany in the 17th century or there abouts which
makes it suspici ously sound like Spanish Jews called Conversos who were
forced by the Spanish Inquisition to convert to Roman Catholicism or die.
Many did die and many co nverted and many left.
I checked with two German language professors if Mosche roush could be a
German name. Not to their knowledge, they said, adding that the name
looked "Jewish" to them which it probably is as it means "Moses' hea d" or
"Head of Moses" or "Moses first" or "First of Moses" in its translation
to Hebrew.

1608 - 1690 Thomas Tolman 82 82 REFN: 8100AN
This Thomas came over aboard the Mary & John in 1630 according to family
hist ories and by the Mary & John Clearinghouse, where he is on their
master index as #648: "Tolman, Thomas (1608-1690) of Dorchester, MA.
Possibly from Salcom be Regis, Devon 14:65"[9]. Richard Anderson, however,
demurs[4]. He maintains that Thomas probably migrated alone and was from
the same village as Roger C lapp[5], but makes no mention of the Mary &
John.
Thomas was a Wheelwright
He was educated enough to have signed and sealed his will
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP  H is name is on the Church Covenant for the Church at
Dorchester, Suffolk co., MA in 1636[4].
FREEMANSHIP  He took the Oath of Freeman on 13 May 1640 in Dorc hester,
Suffolk co., MA[4,5,6,7,8].
LEGAL MENTION & TOWN SERVICE  He served as Constable for Dorchester,
Suffolk co., MA in 1661[5]. His first official m ention in Dorchester Town
Records is on 31 October 1639: "It is ordered that Goodman Tolman¹s house
be appointed for the receiving any goods that shall be brought in whereof
the owner is not known"[4].
RESIDENCE & REAL ESTATE  Onc e here, he settled in Dorchester, Suffolk
co., MA, where he owned lands in Do rchester from the seasiDe to the
Dedham, Norfolk co., MA line and was the own er of a tract of land seven
miles long, west of Neponset bridge in what are n ow parts of Canton,
Stoughton and Sharon, MA[4,5].
He located near Pine Neck (known as Point Norfolk in 1860), his house
having stood within one hundred feet of Pine Neck Creek on the west side
and on the north siDe within about t wo hundred feet, the creek forming
there an elbow shape. In 1852, the Old Col ony Railroad Corporation
removed the most of the cellar once belonging to his house. The house in
which his son Thomas afterwards lived, between what is n ow Ashmont and
Washington Streets, was probably built by him. In 1860, some o f his
descendants still owned and resided on land that belonged to him and
remained in possession of one of the branches of the family[4]. From a
21st c entury perspective, it sounds like his land is currently under the
Braintree branch of the Red Line.
ESTATE  His will "commenced" 25 May 1688 and was signe d and sealed on 25
May 1688[4].
MARRIAGE #1  Before 1632 when Thomas was 24, he first married Sarah
[surname not known], in Dorchester, Suffolk co.,
MA [3,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. Sarah died before Thomas' second marriage
in 167 7.

Has anyone heard of the connection of Baltredu s and the Earls of Oxford?
The story goes:
Aubrey 1st Earl of Oxford had ano ther son Ralf/Radulphus who, having
opposed his father in warring times, plac ing allegiance with Scotland,
was disinherited. Ralf/Radulphus fled to Scotla nd, declaring his
allegiance to the Scottish Crown and was subsequently rewar ded with lands
there. On the death of his father, the title of now 2nd Earl o f Oxford
passed to his brother Aubrey whose title, having died childless, pas sed
to another brother Robert, now 3rd Earl of Oxford.
As Ralf/Radulphus was the second son, the title of 3rd Earl of Oxford
should have passed to him. H owever, overlooked, the title passed to
Robert the 3rd son.
Ralf/Radulphus, now living in Scotland had issue - Baltredus. Baltredus
now being the Grandso n of the 1st Earl of Oxford.

In Reply to: Baltredus De Vere, Scotland, A.D. 1163 by Ray Isbell of 337
According to one authority on the Flemish Nobility of Scotland, Baltredus
never existed. Might I suggest that if anyone has access to early
documents, they might like to compare the style of the letter R in
relation to the letter B. They will find that they are, in many cases,
identical. We a re looking for Ralfredus or Ralph, the second son of
Aubrey who defected to t he Flemish siDe in the dispute over succession in
England. The Norman lot won the day and Ralph disappeared from the
English scene with his liege lord Con an of Brittany and turned up in
Scottish records in 1165 where on occassion h e can be seen to have
witnessed documents with his brother Robert; who later succeeded to the
earldom of Oxford over Ralph's head. For Ralph's seniority s ee the
Charters of Colne Priory, where his name precedes that of Robert.

Since William the younger was the first-born and was born in Norma ndy, it
is possible that he was born during the winter of 1190/91 when his fa ther
was serving Richard in Normandy prior to Richard’s leaving on crusade. I t
is also possible that William and Isabel were in Normandy to take
possess ion of Isabel’s half of the Giffard barony lands in Orbec and
Longueville.
D uring King John’s reign, William was a hostage for his father’s behavior
in K ing John’s court from 1203-1212. William was in Roger fitz Roger’s
custody fo r some of this time, and in John De Erley’s custody some of the
time.
Willia m married Alice De Bethune, daughter of his father’s friend and
companion, Ba ldwin De Bethune, in September 1214. The marriage apparently
did not last ver y long for reasons unknown; Alice may have died ante 1215
.
In the baronial reb ellion of 1215, the younger William was a member of
those rebelling, and he w as one of the sureties who signed the Magna
Carta for the baronial siDe while his father was a signatory for the
royal side. King John, hoping that Marsha l could persuaDe his son to join
the royalist side, provided a safe conduct f or the young William to meet
his father on April 9, 1216, under the protectio n of Aimery St. Maur,
master of the Templars. The meeting did not result in y oung William
changing sides, and he was one of the first barons to do homage to Louis
of France when Louis arrived in England in May 1216. The young Willi am
was an active supporter of Louis, but when he took Worcester castle in
J uly 1216, his father had apparently reached the limit of his own
patience. Wi lliam senior managed to warn his son to withdraw from
Worcester, which he did just before Ranulf earl of Chester retook the
castle for the royalist side.
Sidney Painter, in his biography of William Marshal, has suggested the
proba bility that Marshal not only tolerated his son’s rebellion, but also
may have abetted it as a logical part of his own political strategy.
Marshal was know n and respected by both King Phillip of France and his
son Louis, and Marshal would have been well aware of the possibilities of
Louis taking England with the support of the English barons rebelling
against King John. In feudal tim es, a man would protect his lands and his
family to the best of his ability, and Marshal could do this without
breaking the bonds of his own fealty and ho mage to King John. William the
younger might have taken Worcester for Louis k nowing that his father
would not tolerate such a seizure.
In the autumn of 1 216 the young William abandoned Louis’ cause and
withdrew to Wales, not fight ing for any side. In October 1216 King John
died at Newark, and he was brough t to and buried at St Wulstan in
Worcester. It was at Gloucester that the you ng Henry was knighted by
Marshal and anointed and crowned King Henry III by P eter des Roches,
bishop of Winchester. William Marshal senior was elected reg ent for King
Henry III at Winchester by the papal legate Gualo and the leadin g
magnates of England. On November 12, 1216, at a great council in Bristol,
Gualo, eleven bishops, Marshal, Ranulf of Chester, William De Ferrers,
Willi am of Aumale, and eighteen other leading barons re-issued the Great
Charter u nder the seals of Gualo, as papal legate, and Marshal, as rector
Regis et reg ni Angliae.
In March 1217, William the younger and William I Longspee, natural son of
Henry II and earl of Salisbury in right of his wife Ela, granddaughte r of
Patrick earl of Salisbury, met William Marshal senior of the road from
Shoreham-by-Sea. In the next few days a series of letters were issued
that g ave the two men absolution from excommunication and defined the
terms by whic h they returned to the siDe of Henry III.
William the younger was with his fat her at the battle of Lincoln, May 20,
1217, which effectively signaled the en d of Louis’ aspirations in
England. From th

Henry De Bohun, 1st Earl of Hereford (1176 - 1220) was an English noblema
n. He was Earl of Hereford and Hereditary Constable of England from 11
99 to 1220.
He was the son of Humphrey De Bohun and Princess Margaret, daughter of Hen

is paternal grandmother was Margaret, daughter of Miles De Gloucester, 1
st Earl of Hereford and Constable of England. Bohun's half-sister was Cons
tance, Duchess of Brittany.
The male line of Miles of Gloucester having failed, on the accession of Ki
ng John of England, Bohun was created Earl of Hereford and Constable of En
gland (1199). He married Maud of Essex, daughter of Geoffrey Fitzpeter, 1
st Earl of Essex. Their children were:
Humphrey De Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford
Margery De Bohun, married Waleran De Beaumont, 4th Earl of Warwick.
Bohun was one of the 25 executors of the Magna Carta, and was subsequent
ly excommunicated by the Pope. He was also a supporter of King Louis VI
II of France and was captured at the Battle of Lincoln in 1217. He died wh
ilst on pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
1143 - 1182 Humphrey IV De Bohun 39 39 REFN: 8514AN
Humphrey De Bohun was the name of a number of men in medieval England, a
ll members of a prominent noble family.
Humphrey 'with the beard' came to England after the Norman Conquest. His s
on
Humphrey was probably one of Henry I's stewards. His son
Humphrey (d. April 6, 1187) fought on the Empress' siDe during the Anarch
y, and later supported her son Henry II during some of the rebellions of d
uring his reign. He married Margaret, daughter of Milo of Gloucester, Ea
rl of Hereford. Their son
Humphrey (d. 1182) was sometimes called Earl of Hereford after the failu
re of the male line in his mother's family, but was never formally install
ed as earl. He married Margaret, daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon (w
ho was a son of David, King of Scotland). Since he died before his fathe
r, the family lands were inherited by his son Henry De Bohun, 1st Ea
rl of Hereford. Henry was succeeded by his son
Humphrey De Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford and 1st Earl of Essex (d. 1274). H
is son
Humphrey, predeceased his father. His son
Humphrey De Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford and 2nd Earl of Essex (d. 129
8) is remembered for refusing to serve in Gascony except in company of t
he king. His son
Humphrey De Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and 3rd Earl of Essex (1276-1322
). He was one of the leaders who deposed King Edward II's favorite Piers G
aveston. He fought at the Battle of Bannockburn, where he was captur
ed by the Scots. He was killed at the Battle of Boroughbridge, while leadi
ng another rebellion against the king. He married Elizabeth, daughter of K
ing Edward I, and was succeeded by his second son John, 5th Earl of Herefo
rd and 4th Earl of Essex.
Humphrey, 6th Earl of Hereford and 5th Earl of Essex (d. 1361) was the thi
rd son of the 4th Earl of Hereford, and succeeded his brother John. He w
as succeeded by his nephew
Humphrey De Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford, 6th Earl of Essex, and 2nd Ea
rl of Northampton (d. 1372). He was the son of William De Bohun, 1st Ea
rl of Northampton, who was son of the 4th Earl of Hereford.
The 7th Earl of Hereford was the last of this Bohun line. His great esta
te was split between his two daughters: Mary De Bohun, who married the fut
ure Henry IV (who was created Duke of Hereford before he was king), and El
eanor, who married Thomas of Woodstock.
The name Humphrey recurs among the two sisters' children and grandchildre
n, including Mary's son Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, Eleanor's son Humphr
ey, Earl of Buckingham (d. 1399), and her grandson Humphrey Stafford, 1
st Duke of Buckingham.

ts of the manor of Tetbury, to maintain her as a recluse. Annora granted s
ome of her lands at Tetbury to Godstow abbey, where her sister Flandrina w
as later to become the abbess, but she became an anchoress at the nearby c
hurch of Iffley. Records exist of her receiving an annual gift of firewo
od from the king and occasional other gifts of food, clothing and buildi
ng materials. The last gifts were made by the king in 1241 and some have c
oncluded that she died then. It may be significant though that this is t
he year that William De Braose (d1290), her grandnephew, came of age, reco
vering the Braose lordship of Bramber and Gower from the king. It may be t
hat he took over responsibility for her maintenance at that time.
Father: William De Braose
Mother: Maud De St. Valery
Married to Hugh De Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore dsp 1227

~1150 - 1235 Bertha De Braose 85 85 Alias:<ALIA> Bertha /De Briouse/
REFN: 8703AN
REFN: P1556
Married to William De Beauchamp (d 1197) of Elmley, Worcs
Child 1: Walter De Beauchamp (d 1235)
The evidence for this marriage is quite complex. There is definitely a mar
riage between a Bertha De Braose and a Beauchamp but authorities diff
er as to the details.
The question has been discussed in Sep 2002 on soc.genealogy.medieval. T
he archives give a good review of the evidence. Thanks to Chris Phillips a
nd Cris Nash for a valuable discussion.
The view I take seems to be the one best supported by the available eviden
ce.
Keats-Rohan in Domesday Descendants gives a different view but it is not c
lear what evidence she uses to come to her position.
The arms shown are attributed to William De Beauchamp in a roll of Ed I. (

Son and heir
1st wife Millicent De Ferrieres
2nd wife Isabel De Ferrieres
Cokayne mentions in his footnotes that his half-brothers Ranulph De Belme
is and Philip De Belmeis granted him rents in Bisley. This proves their ex
istance.
Cokayne does not mention his marriage to Millicent De Ferrieres, althou
gh Burke in his Dormant and Extinct is very specific and discusses the so
ns as half-brothers. Generally Burke would be from Dugdale.

ROGER DE MORTIMER, eldest surviving son and heir. In his father's lifeti
me he appears on the Pipe Roll as holding terrae datae in Worcestershire a
nd Salop. He was a benefactor of Gloucester Abbey, of Kington, St. Michae
l, Wilts, of Cwmhir, of Jumièges, and of Saint-Victor-en-Caux. Between 11
82 and 1189 he attested at Rouen a charter of Henry II to the monks of Bar
bey (diocese of Bayeux). In 1191, upon a charge of conspiring with the Wel
sh against the King, he was forced to surrender his castles and to abju
re the country for three years. In April 1194 he was in England again, a
nd witnessed a charter of Richard I, after his second Coronation at Winche
ster. Roger was a strenuous Lord Marcher, and in 1195 drove the sons of Ca
dwallon out of Maelienydd, and restored Cwmaron Castle; but next year Rhy
s, Prince of South Wales, defeated a well-equipped force of cavalry and fo
ot under Mortimer and Hugh de Say, of Richard's Castle, with much slaughte
r, near Radnor. He was one of the magnates who refused to serve personal
ly in France in 1201, but his fine was remitted. On 1 April 1207 he witnes
sed a charter of the King at Montfort-sur-Risle, and he appears to have be
en with John at Bonport in July following.(b) On the loss of Normandy in 1
204. Roger adhered to John and forfeited his Norman lands. In 1205 he land
ed at Dieppe, and being captured by John de Rouvray, bailiff of Caux, w
as compelled to pay a ransom of 1,000 marks. He was in England again by Ju
ne 1207, when he was directed to hand Knighton Castle to the custo
dy of a successor; in that year his wife Isabel had a grant of Oakham f
or life. In 1210 some of his knights served in the King's invasion of Irel
and. In 1212 he proffered 3,000 marks for the marriage of the heir of Walt
er de Beauchamp, to whom he married his daughter Joan. In May 1213 he w
as one of the sponsors for John's good faith in his reconciliation with Ar
chbishop Langton at the command of the Pope. He married Isabel, daught
er of Walkelin DE FERRIÈRES, seigneur of Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire and lo
rd of Oakham. He died before 19 August 1214, having, with the King's permi
ssion, resigned his lands to his son Hugh when he was taken ill, and was b
uried at Wigmore. His widow Isabel married, 2ndly, Piers FITZHERBERT, of B
laen Llyfni, who died 1 June 1235. She retained her father's English lan
ds till her death. She died before 29 April 1252, and was buried in the ch
apel which she had built in the court of the Hospital of St. John of Lechl

); m. by 1657 Samuel Hunt (eldest child b. Ipswich 17 November 1657).
ASSOCIATIONS: His association with JOHN BOSWORTH, ANTHONY COLBY and GARRE
TT HADDON implies that he may have been a servant of SIMON BRADSTREET a
nd may have come from the vicinity of Horbling, Lincolnshire (see JOHN BOS
WORTH).

mbridge in a list dated 2 January 1632/3 but probably from a year or two l

------------------------------
Note: There is a difference between CP & BP about the timing of Malise's m
arriage to Marjory & the existence of a 1st wife. The BP article agrees wi
th the CP article on Malise as Earl of Caithness, which is in CP II:476, w
hich is an earlier volume than XII/1, and was correct by volume XIV to agr
ee with the above information from XII/1; thus the BP information is proba
bly outdated as well. I believe that BP is a little early with its c1290 b
irth date (as is CP II:476); Malise's father was born c1275-80, which allo
ws only 10-15 years between generations; also according to his marriage da
te, 1299 is more appropriate.

Family history
Joan was daughter of Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wa
ke. Her paternal grandparents were Edward I of England and his second Que
en consort Marguerite of France. Her father was a younger half-broth
er of Edward II of England. Edmund's support of the King placed him in con
flict with the Queen, Isabella of France and her lover Roger Mortimer, 1
st Earl of March. When Edward II was deposed, Joan's father was executed.
Early life
The Earl’s widow, Margaret Wake, was left with four children. Her young
er daughter, Joan, was only two years old. Her cousin, the new King, Edwa
rd III, took on the responsibility for the family, and looked after them w
ell. His wife, Queen Philippa, was well known for her tender-heartednes
s, and Joan grew up at court, where she became friendly with her cousin
s, including Edward, the Black Prince.
Marriage(s) and legendary beauty
At the age of twelve, she entered into a clandestine marriage with Thom
as Holland of Broughton. The following year, while Holland was overseas, h
er family forced her into a marriage with William Montacute. As Counte
ss of Salisbury, Joan moved in the highest society. Some historians identi
fy her as the mystery woman who appeared at a banquet in Calais and attrac
ted the attention of every man present. Allegedly, while dancing with t
he King, the lady lost her blue velvet garter, and this was the orig
in of the Order of the Garter. It is more likely that Joan's mother-in-l
aw was the woman involved.
It was not for several years that Thomas Holland returned from crusade, ha
ving made his fortune, and the full story of his earlier relationship wi
th Joan came out. He appealed to the Pope for the return of his wife. Wh
en the Earl of Salisbury discovered that Joan supported Holland’s cas
e, he kept her a virtual prisoner in her own home.
In 1349, Pope Clement VI annulled Joan’s marriage to the Earl and sent h
er back to Thomas Holland, with whom she lived for the next eleven year
s. They had four children, then Holland died in 1360. Their children were:
Thomas Holland, 2nd Earl of Kent
John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter
Joan Holland, married 1) Duke John V of Brittany 2) Edmund of Langley, Du
ke of York, son of Edward III and Philippa of Hainault
Maud Holland, married Waleran of St.Pol
Joan, now widowed but only thirty-two, was a catch by anyone else’s standa
rds. She had inherited the earldom of Kent when her brother died in 135
3. She was strikingly beautiful, with perfect features, auburn hair that r
eached to her waist, and dark eyes, and was regarded as one of the most de
sirable women in the country. The Black Prince had been in love with her f
or years, but his father and mother disapproved. Queen Philippa might ha
ve made a favourite of Joan at first, but as her son grew older, she had b
ecome concerned about the budding romance between the two cousins, and s
et herself against it.
Marriage again, and life in France
The Archbishop of Canterbury warned the Prince that there could be doub
ts cast on the legitimacy of any children Joan might bear him, in vi
ew of the fact that one of her previous husbands, the Earl of Salisbury, w
as still alive, but the marriage went ahead with an assurance of absoluti
on from the Pope. They were married in 1361, and almost immediately set sa
il for France, since the Black Prince was also the Prince of Aquitain
e, a region of France which belonged to the English Crown. Two children we
re born in France, both of them sons. The elder son, named Edward after h
is father and grandfather, died at the age of six.
Around the time of the birth of their younger son, Richard, the prince w
as lured into a war on behalf of Pedro the Cruel, ruler of Castile. The en
suing battle was one of the Black Prince’s greatest victories, but King Pe
dro was killed, and there was no money to pay the troops. In the mea
1301 Edmund Plantagenet Alias:<ALIA> Edmund of /Woodstock/
REFN: 9055AN
Edmund Plantagenet, or Edmund of Woodstock (August 5, 1301 – March 19, 133
0) was Earl of Kent from July 28, 1321 (1st creation).
He was born at Woodstock, Oxfordshire, the son of King Edward I of Engla
nd by his second Queen consort Marguerite of France. As the youngest of t
he six princes he enjoyed his father's favour. Woodstock was married to Ma
rgaret Wake, the daughter of Baron John Wake by Joan, sometime between Oct
ober and December in 1325 at Blisworth in Northamptonshire, England.
He was from 1327 'after the execution and forfeiture of John FitzAlan, 7
th Earl of Arundel' for the three remaining years of his life to hold t
he castle and honour of Arundel, although he was never formally invested w
ith the titles appropriate to his barony. He was the father of Joan of Ken
t, through whom the earldom eventually passed into the Holland family.
Edmund was executed for treason, having supported his half-brother, the de
posed King Edward II, by order of the 'Regents Roger Mortimer, 1st Ea
rl of March and Queen Isabella of France', before the outer walls of Winch
ester Castle. It was said that he had conspired to rescue King Edward fr
om prison. Such was public hostility to the execution that "he had to wa
it five hours for an executioner, because nobody wanted to do it".
Woodstock was buried on March 31 at the Church of the Dominican Fria
rs in Winchester, England.
Woodstock's execution would appear a retaliation for Edward I's crushing d
efeat against Simon De Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and beca
use the king had treated his rebellious cousins with such great savager
y, pursuing the surviving members of the De Montfort family relentlessly.
The children of Edmund Plantagenet by Margaret Wake, Baroness Wake of Lyde
ll, were:
Edmund Plantagenet, 2nd Earl of Kent About 1326 - Before 5 October 1331
Margaret Plantagenet (b bfr 1327-d 1352). Married Arnaud-Amanieu VIII d'Al
bret, viscount of Tartas.
Joan Plantagenet ("The Fair Maid of Kent") b 28 September 1328 - d 7 Augu
st 1385. Married Edward, the Black Prince son of Edward III
John Plantagenet, 3rd Earl of Kent 7 Apr 1330 - About 27 December 1352
1282 Marguerite of France REFN: 9056AN
Marguerite of France (1282 – 14 February 1317) was a daughter of Philip I
II of France and Maria of Brabant. She was also the second Queen conso
rt of King Edward I of England.
Three years after the death of his beloved first wife, Eleanor of Castil
e, at the age of 48 in 1290, Edward I was still grieving. But news g
ot to him of the beauty of Blanche, sister to King Philip IV of France. Ed
ward decided that he would marry Blanche at any cost and sent out emissari
es to negotiate the marriage with Philip. Philip agreed to give Blanc
he to Edward on the following conditions:
a truce was concluded between the two countries
Edward gave up the province of Gascony
Edward, surprisingly, agreed and sent his brother Edmund Crouchback, Du
ke of Lancaster, to fetch the new bride. Edward had been deceived, for Bla
nche was to be married to Rudolph I of Bohemia and eldest son of Albe
rt I of Germany. Instead Philip offered his younger sister Marguerite, a y
oung girl of 11, to marry Edward (then 55). Upon hearing this, Edward decl
ared war on France, refusing to marry Marguerite. After five years, a tru
ce was agreed, under the terms of which Edward would marry Marguerite a
nd would regain the key city of Guienne, and receive the £15,000 owed to M
arguerite from her father, King Philip III the Bold.
Edward was now 60 years old. The wedding took place at Canterbury on Septe
mber 8, 1299. Edward soon returned to the Scottish border to continue h
is campaigns and left Marguerite in London. After several months, bored a
nd lonely, the young queen decided to join her husband. Nothing could ha
ve pleased the king more, for Marguerite's actions reminded him of his fir
st wife Eleanor, who had had two of her sixteen children abroad.
Marguerite soon became firm friends with her stepdaughter Mary, a nun, w
ho was two years older than the young queen. In less than a year Margueri
te gave birth to a son, and then another a year later. It is said that ma
ny who fell under the king's wrath were saved from too stern a punishme
nt by the queen's influence over her husband, and the statement, Pardon
ed solely on the intercession of our dearest consort, queen Margueri
te of England, appears.
In all, Marguerite gave birth to three children: Thomas of Brotherton, 1
st Earl of Norfolk; Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent; and a daughte
r, named Eleanor in honor of Edward's first queen, who perished in infancy
.
The mismatched couple were blissfully happy. When Blanche died in 1306 (h
er husband never became Emperor), Edward ordered all the court to go in
to mourning to please his queen. He had realised the wife he had gained w
as "a pearl of great price". The same year Marguerite gave birth to a gir
l, Eleanor, a choice of name which surprised many, and showed Marguerite
's un-jealous nature. After Edward died, as a widow at twenty six, she nev
er remarried saying "when Edward died, all men died for me", but she us
ed her immense dowry to relieve people's suffering.

~1208 - 1274 Humphrey VI De Bohun 66 66 REFN: 9057AN
Humphrey De Bohun (1208 – September 24, 1275) was 2nd Earl of Hereford a
nd 1st Earl of Essex, as well as Constable of England. He was the son of H
enry De Bohun, 1st Earl of Hereford and Maud of Essex.
He was one of the nine godfathers of Prince Edward. After returning fr
om a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he was one of the writers of the Provisi
ons of Oxford in 1258. His wife was Maud De Lusignan, daughter of Rao
ul De Lusignan, Count of Eu. Their children were:
Humphrey De Bohun, predeceased his father in 1265.
Alice De Bohun, married Roger V De Tosny
Maud De Bohun, married (1) Anselm Marshal, 6th Earl of Pembroke; (2) Rog
er De Quincy, 2nd Earl of Winchester
He died in 1275 and was buried at Llanthony.
Lord High Constable of England
1st wife Maud De Lusignan
2nd wife Maud De Avenbury
There were more sons born of this marriage. Cokayne mentions "On 18 Dec. 1
253 he and his eld. s. Humphrey had licence to hunt hare , fox, cat and ot
her wild beasts in the forests of Bradon and Savernake, Wiltshire, England
." Cokayne starts the entry of the heir, another Humphrey and states "as e
ldest s. of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex". The use of 'el
dest' would indicate at least two younger sons and possibly more.

George Villiers (August 28, 1592 – August 23, 1628) was the 1st Duke of Bu
ckingham of the second creation (1623) of that title and a favourite of Ki
ng James I of England and then of Charles I.
He was born in Brooksby, Leicestershire, the son of the minor noble Sir Ge
orge Villiers. As a youth he was noted for his beauty and he became a regu
lar at the royal court in 1614 following his introduction to James duri
ng the King's progress of that year. Villiers gained support from those op
posed to the current favourite, Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset and he was k
nighted in 1615 as a Gentleman of the Bedchamber. When Carr was disgrac
ed after the Overbury affair his position was rapidly taken by Villiers, a
lthough the king's passion for Villiers had been obvious for some time bef
ore. He prospered greatly under the king, becoming an earl in 1617 and mar
quess in 1618.
He married the daughter of Francis Manners, 6th Earl of Rutland, Katheri
ne Manners, later suo jure Baroness De Ros, on May 16, 1620 despite the ob
jections of her father. Villiers was happy to grant valuable royal monopol
ies to her family. Parliament began an investigation into misuse of the mo
nopolies in 1621 and Villiers was quick to siDe with Parliament to avoid a
ction being taken against him.
In February 1623 James made Villiers the Duke of Buckingham. Buckingham ac
companied Prince Charles to Spain for marriage negotiations regarding t
he Infanta Maria. The negotiations had long been stuck but it is believ
ed that Buckingham's crassness was key to the total collapse of agreemen
t; the Spanish ambassador asked Parliament to have Buckingham executed f
or his behaviour in Madrid; but Buckingham gained popularity by calling f
or war with Spain on his return. He headed further marriage negotiations b
ut when in 1624 the betrothal to Henrietta Maria of France was announced t
he choice of a Catholic was widely condemned.
Buckingham's popularity suffered further when he was blamed for the failu
re of the von Mansfeld expedition to recover the Palatinate (1625). But wh
en Charles became king Buckingham was the only man to maintain his positi
on from the court of James. When Parliament attempted to impeach him for t
he failure of the Cádiz expedition (1625) Charles had the house dissolv
ed in August before they could put Buckingham on trial.
In 1627 Buckingham then led another failure to try to aid the Huguenots be
sieged at La Rochelle, losing over 4000 men out of a force of 7000. Whi
le organising a second attempt he was killed at Portsmouth by John Felto
n, a naval officer who held a personal grudge against him. Felton was hang
ed in November and Buckingham was buried in Westminster Abbey.
A fictionalized Buckingham is one of the characters in Alexander Dumas' T
he Three Musketeers, which paints him as a lover of Anne of Austria and de
als with his assassination by Felton. He is also a central charact
er in a novel by Philippa Gregory, Earthly Joys.
0716 - 0754 UNKNOWN Carloman 38 38 REFN: 9061AN
Carloman (716-754) was the son of Charles Martel, major domo or Mayor of t
he Palace of Austrasia and Chrotrud. He was a member of the family later c
alled the Carolingians and it can be argued that he was instrumental in co
nsolidating their power at the expense of the ruling Merovingian kin
gs of the Franks.
After the death of his father in 741, power was initially divided among Ca
rloman and his brothers Pippin III and Grifo. By 742, Carloman and Pipp
in had ousted Grifo, and each turned his attention towards his own ar
ea of influence as major domo, Pippin in the West and Carloman in the East
.
Carloman strengthened his authority in part via his support of the Anglo-S
axon missionary Winfrid (Boniface), the so-called "Apostle of the Germans
", whom he charged with restructuring the chuch in the Frankish Empire. Th
is was in part a continuation of a policy begun under his grandfather Pipp
in of Herstal and continued to a lesser extent under Charles Martel. Carlo
man was instrumental in convening the Concilium Germanicum in 742, the fir
st major Church synod to be held in the eastern parts of the Frankish king
dom. Chaired jointly by him and Boniface, the synod ruled that priests we
re not allowed to bear arms or to host females in their houses and th
at it was one of the primary tasks to eradicate pagan beliefs. While his f
ather had frequently confiscated church property to reward his follower
s, Carloman sought to increase the assets of the church. He donated, for i
nstance, the land for one of Boniface's most important foundation, the mon
astery of Fulda.
Carloman could be ruthless towards real or perceived opponents. In 74
6, he convened an assembly of all alamanni dukes and nobles at Cannstatt a
nd then had most of them, numbering in the thousands, arrested and execut
ed for high treason in the bloody judgment of Cannstatt. This eradicated v
irtually the entire tribal leadership of the Alamanni and ended the indepe
ndence of the tribal duchy of Alamannia which was thereafter governed by c
ounts appointed by their Frankish overlords.
These actions strengthened Carloman's position, and that of the fami
ly as a whole, especially in terms of their rivalries with other leading f
amilies such as the Bavarian Agilolfings.
In 747, Carloman renounced his position as major domo and withdrew to a mo
nastic life in Monte Soracte and Monte Cassino. He died on 17 July 754 a
nd was buried in Monte Cassino.

Gilbert De Venables (Venator, Veneur, Hunter,) was from Venables, Evre
ux in Normandy in the barony of Le Veneurs so named because they were here
ditary huntsmen to the Dukes of Normandy. Gilbert was a palatine Bar
on to Hugh Lupus, held the barony of Kinderton in Cheshire. Many lines a
nd surnames were descended, including the Butlers of Chester. Richard w
as also palatine Baron of Hugh Lupus, and became Barons of Warrington. Ano
ther brother, Raoul, was baron of Chester, held in capite, and ancest
or of the Grosvenors, Dukes of Westminster, Earls of Wilton and Lords of E
lbury. The Hunter family moved north into Scotland where William Venator w
itnessed a charter by Earl David, later King David in 1124 and this fami
ly generally assumed the surname of Hunter. Venables became a prominent Ch
eshire and Lancashire surname, but Hunter had already achieved a large foo
thold in Cheshire before the move north with the Domesday Book showing Gil
bert Hunter holding Brereton, Davenport, Kinderton and Witton (Northwich s
uburb) and Ralph Hunter holding Stapleford in Cheshire and Soughton in Wal
es. Gilbert was at the Battle of Hastings.
Source:  http://www.infokey.com/Domesday/Cheshire.htm
From Venables in Normandy, a younger son of the Count of Blois. He invad
ed England with William the Conqueror. Large landowner in Cheshire & Elsew
here.  Created a Baron of the  Palatine County of Cheshire by the Ea
rl of Chester.
Suspicion must fall upon Newbold. Today Newbold is little more than a hand
ful of houses within the township of Astbury, but in 1086 it was a major m
anorial centre. It was held of the earl of Chester by Gilbert De Venable
s, called Gilbert the hunter in Domesday Book. The land is described thus:
-
IN MIDDLEWICH HUNDRED
Gilbert the hunter holds of the earl Newbold. Wulfgeat held and was a fr
ee man [There is] 11/2 hides gelding. There is land for 5 ploughs. A radm
an has one plough there and a priest one plough. [there are] 3 villagers a
nd 2 bordars. [There is] 1 acre of meadow there and wood 1 league in leng
th and as much wiDe and 2 enclosures there. In the time of King Edwa
rd it was worth 20 shillings, now 8 (DB i, 267a).
Gilbert was one of the earl's honourial barons. Earl Hugh 'the Fat' w
as a keen hunter, and Gilbert would seem to have been one of his huntsme
n. He held in total eighteen manors in Cheshire and north Wales, includi
ng Brereton, Kinderton, Davenport, and Witton in the vicinity of Newbol
d. Whether Newbold was his principal residence in 1086 is unclear; if it w
as not, it was to become so for his successors from the twelfth century on
wards.
The social and economic profile of the estate is much the same as th
at of Congleton and Buglawton. What is striking, however, is the reco
rd of a priest. In this part of Cheshire a priest strongly suggests a chur
ch, and yet no church is known to have existed at Newbold. Add to this t
he fact that Gilbert De Venables granted the church of Astbury to St Werbu
rgh's Abbey, Chester, and it seems clear that the Newbold entry must inclu
De at least a part of Astbury. In the later Middle Ages the manor of Astbu
ry was distinct from that of Newbold, but it was probably held of the Vena
bles fee. It is likely, then, that the Newbold of Domesday Book embraced A
stbury and was named in Domesday Book in preference to it because it was t
he centre of the whole estate.

John is a witness to several charters of William (II), Earl Ferrers. In o
ne of them he is described as "avunculus comitis", maternal uncle of the e
arl. This confirms him as a brother of Sibilla and hence a son of Willi
am and Bertha.
(BM Egerton Cht. 436)
This John is a possible candidate for the father of John De Knill. The Kni
ll family have claimed that John De Knill, the founder of their family w
as a son of a John De Braose but it is not clear which John this could b
e. The Knill arms are a variant of the De Braose arms: gules, crusily fitc
hy, a lion rampant or.
~1160 Daughter De Braose REFN: 9117AN
Arthur Collins in his Peerage (1761) states that Ralph De Gernon was marri
ed to "a sister to Sir William Brews". Their son Ralph was the "found
er of Lyes Priory in Essex"
He suggests that the Ralph who married the Braose was a son of Matth
ew De Gernon who in turn was son of Ralph De Gernon who accompanied the Co
nqueror in 1066.
There are other, more modern references to Ralph's wife as a sister of Wil
liam De Briwere, Founder of Dunkeswell Abbey.

At the moment I believe these are more likely to be right. So this daught
er of Philip probably doesn't exist.

Bishop of Hereford from 1200 - 1215, Giles, along with other bishops, le

es and Reginald turned to open war with King John and took the De Braose L
ordships in Wales which John had confiscated on the death of their fath
er in 1211. Giles returned to England with Archbishop Langton in 1214 a
nd the situation in Wales was ratified by John (on payment of a fine in O

on Cathedral and is depicted in a window in the North aisle. Giles may al
so have built the tower of Hereford Cathedral. His effigy on the North si

Evidence for the existence of John is recorded in the Close Roll of 1205 d
ated 26th March where William De Braose is released from the debt to Ki
ng John which he owed for the marriage of Amabil De Limesi to his son, Joh
n.
Amabil and John are also mentioned in the Pipe Roll, 7 John, Warwick and L
eicester, where Amabil pays a fine for her petition not to be remarried af
ter the death of John De Braiosa.
The Knill family have claimed that John had descendants including Jo
hn De Knill, the founder of their family.  The Knill arms are a varia
nt of the De Braose arms: gules, crusily fitchy, a lion rampant or. (right

However, the fact that Limesi lands were divided between Amabil's two youn
ger sisters makes the above claim unlikely. It would seem that Amabil h
ad died without issue from any of her three marriages.

After the death of Eva's father, William (II) De Cantilupe obtained the wa

REFN: P3554
Prince Fergus De Galloway (born 1096) was a contemporary and close
relative of King Somerled, both being direct descendants through
Godfraidh (Godfrey) mac Fergus, Lord of the Isles who died in 853 A.D.
Some other sour ces list Prince Fergus as a son of Olave the Red, King of
Man and father-in-l aw of King Somerled, making Fergus not only Somerled's
cousin through his gra ndfather Gilledomnan “Gilli” ) but also his
brother-in-law through Somerled's wife Ragnhildis, the daughter of King
Olave the Red. The MacDowalls of Gallo way are the senior descendants in
the male line of the princely house of Ferg us, first of the ancient Lords
of Galloway and the Rulers of Cumbria who main tained native leadership
adopting Normanization under King David I of Scotlan d (1124-1153). Today
the family is known as the MacDowalls. The Chief of the MacDowalls of
Garthland (senior stirp) holds the title as Baron of Garthland and
Castlesemple.
From the establishment of the nation of Scotland by King K enneth I
(MacAlpin) with the help of Galloway in 843 until 1096 when our firs t
recognized ancestor Fergus of Galloway was born, clear conclusions are
"p ractically impossible" about the history of Galloway and its engulfing
Strath clyDe and Western Isles. the time was characterized by Gaelic
(Irish) settlem ent but Viking rule in greater pre-Galloway, the bounds of
which sometimes ex tended over the Western half of the Lowlands of modern
Scotland. As Pictavia (Cruithintuath) then Albania and later Scotia,
early Scotland initially conta ined neither the Lowlands nor the Northern
Islands (the Orkneys and Shetlands , with Caithness and Sutherland) nor
the Western Isles ("Sudreys" in Norse or "Innse Gall" in Gaelic). These
islands and proximal mainland were dominated by the Norse (Norwegian
"Finn gall" or white strangers) cadre of Vikings. The ruling Viking
Northmen in Galloway, however, were alternately Norse, Danes, and Norse.
Under them Galloway "was a power with which the kingdom founded by
Kenneth, and the kingdom of the Northern English, always had to reckon".
An influx of Irish under Rueda (Riata) had returned with Scots of
Galloway in s upport of Kenneth’s northward war of succession. These
Cruithne (pronounced C reenie), which means Pict but here refers to old
Ulster Irish of the same sto ck (perhaps driven across by the Romans),
continued to populate Galloway. The y were "fierce, ignorant and
barbarically wild with a jurisprudence of ancien t custom exercised
locally by the hereditary Brehon (judge) on what later bec ame baronial
Mote-hills. The Irish and Scots law of tanistry called for the b est
qualified successor in the Chiefly family, and Brehon law required male
ownership of and succession to land. The politics as in Ireland were
tribal. Each tribe or "tuath" in Ireland or "cenel" (Cinel) among Scots
was governed by an ordained, semi-sacred "king" chosen from the
patriarchal family of the cenel, and this was not disrupted by invasion
or conquest by outsiders. One of the several kings in a region was the
"ruiri" or overking; and within a pr ovince such as Galloway these were
subject to a sovereign called an "ollam ri " which made Galwegians
compatible with overlordship by the Norse, Danes, and others. The
arrangement still allowed the Scottish monarchy to occasionally assume a
fourth tier of government corresponding to a "high king" in Ireland.
Initially, the alliance of the Norse with Kenneth I was evident
among the h onors given to Galloway for its assistance in the recovery of
Scottish Dalria da and the crown of Pictavia from the Picts. Kenneth
macAlpin gave his daught er, "a Galloway lass both by birth and kindred",
to Olaf (Olave) a Norse chie f of Galloway, who not long after was seated
on the throne of Dublin by the a ssistance of the Galwegians. Olaf later
captured Dumbarton in his unsuccessfu l claim to the Scottish throne when
Kenneth die

~0990 - 1053 UNKNOWN Godwin 63 63 REFN: 9277AN
Godwin (sometimes Godwine and sometimes known as Godwin of Wessex) (c. 10
01 – April 15, 1053), was one of the most powerful lords in England und
er the Danish king Canute the Great and his successors. Canute made him t
he first Earl of Wessex. Godwin was the father of Harold II and of Edi
th of Wessex, wife of Edward the Confessor.
Godwin's father was probably Wulfnoth Cild, Cild being a nickname (c.983-1
015) who was Thegn of Sussex, although later documents describe his fath
er as a churl. Wulfnoth was a sixth generation descendant of King Ethelr
ed of Wessex, the elder brother of Alfred the Great. His descendants we
re passed over in the royal succession, but became prominent nobles in t
he kingdom. Wulfnoth led a section of the royal fleet into piracy a
nd as a consequence had his lands forfeited, and was exiled. It was le
ft to his young son, Godwin, to improve the family fortunes after his fath
er's death in 1014. The patrilineal descent of Godwin from a King of Wess
ex is still being researched, however, and should not be taken as certai
n. In his day, Earl Godwin was seen as very much of a new man, who had be
en "made" by two advantageous marriages to Danish noblewomen.
Godwin was a major supporter of Edmund Ironside, the son of King Aethelr
ed the Unready. While Edmund was in rebellion against his father, Canute a
nd his army invaded England. Edmund was killed, along with many of his sup
porters, but Godwin survived and pledged his loyalty to Canute. He befrien
ded Canute's brother-in-law, Earl Ulf, and became one of Canute's advisor
s, accompanying him to Denmark to suppress a rebellion there. By 1018 he w
as an earl, becoming Earl of the West Saxons in about 1019. In 1022 he mar
ried Thyra Sveinsdóttir, Canute's sister. She died soon afterwards witho
ut issue, but Godwin continued to gain prestige and by 1023 he was the mo
st powerful earl in England.
On November 12, 1035, Canute died. His kingdoms were divided among three r
ival rulers. Harold Harefoot, Canute's illegitimate son by Aelgifu of Nort
hampton, seized the throne of England. Harthacanute, Canute's legitimate s
on by Emma of Normandy, reigned in Denmark. Norway rebelled under Magnus t
he Noble. In 1037, the throne of England was reportedly claimed by Alfr
ed of Wessex, younger son of Emma of Normandy and Ethelred the Unready a
nd half-brother of Harthacanute. Godwin is reported to have either captur
ed Alfred himself or to have deceived him by pretending to be his ally a
nd then surrendering him to the forces of Harold Harefoot. Either way Alfr
ed was blinded and soon died at Ely.
On March 17, 1040, Harold Harefoot died and Godwin supported the accessi
on of his half-brother Harthacanute to the throne of England. When Harthac
anute himself died (June 8, 1042), Godwin finally supported the claim of h
is half-brother Edward the Confessor to the throne. Edward was another s
on of Emma and Ethelred, having spent most of the previous thirty yea
rs in Normandy. His reign restored the native royal house of Wessex to t
he throne of England.
Despite his alleged responsibility for the death of Edward's brother Alfre
d, Godwin secured the marriage of his daughter Edith (Eadgyth) to Edwa
rd in 1045. As Edward drew advisors, nobles and priests from his former pl
ace of refuge in a bid to develop his own power base, Godwin soon became t
he leader of opposition to growing Norman influence. After a violent cla
sh between the people of Dover and the visiting Eustace II, Count of Boulo
gne, Edward's new brother-in-law, Godwin was ordered to punish the peop
le of Dover (as he and Earl Leofric had done in Worcester, in Leofric's o
wn earldom). This time, however, Godwin refused, choosing to champion h
is own countrymen against a (visiting) foreign ruler and his own king. Edw
ard rightly saw this as a test of power, and managed to enlist the suppo
rt of the other earls Earl Siward from Northumbria and Earl
~0995 Gytha Thorkilsdottir REFN: 9278AN
Gytha Torkelsdotter was the daughter of Torkel Styrbjörnsson. Consequent
ly she was the granddaughter of the disinherited Swedish prince Styrbjö
rn Starke, the conqueror of Jomsborg, and Tyra, the daughter of Harold Blu
etooth king of Norway and Denmark. However, this descent from the old Swed
ish and Danish royal houses is believed to be a later invention to give h
er and her numerous sons some claim to royal blood. Gyda or Gytha was cert
ainly the daughter of Torkel or Thorkil, but her father's connections to S
candinavian royalty should be considered not proven.
In 1019, she married the Anglo-Saxon nobleman Godwin of Wessex, apparent
ly as his second wife (his first wife having been a Danish princess). Th
ey had several children together, of whom five sons became earls at one ti
me or another, three remaining earls in 1066. Among their children were Ha
rold II of England and Tostig Godwinson, who later faced each other at t
he Battle of Stamford Bridge; their eldest daughter was Edith of Wessex, Q
ueen consort of Edward the Confessor.
After the Battle of Hastings, Gytha had pleaded unsuccessfully with the Co
nqueror for the return of the body of her slain son Harold II. Four of h
er sons were killed in two successive battles - Tostig at Stamford Bridg
e, and Harold II, Gyrth, and Leofwine at Hastings. Her surviving son (a
nd youngest son) Wulnoth lived nearly all his life in (pleasant) captivi
ty in Normandy until the Conqueror's death 1087. Only her eldest daught
er Queen Edith (d. 1075) still held some power (however nominal) as wid
ow of Edward the Confessor.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Gytha left the Kingdom of Engla
nd after the Norman conquest of England, together with the wives or wido
ws and families of other prominent Anglo-Saxons. Presumably, after all t
he Godwin family estates were confiscated by the Conqueror, there was litt
le hope left. Little else is known of Gytha's life or future, althou
gh it is probable that she went to Scandinavia (like her granddaughter a
nd namesake) where she had relatives

The Stapylton family is one of great repute and antiquity in the county. T
hey take their surname from Stapleton-on-Tees, where they possessed lan
ds previous to the Conquest. The first of whom any record has been preserv
ed was Heryon, or Herman, who held the manor of Stapleton in 1052, and w
as father of Alan De Stapylton, who was living in 1080. Sir John, his gran
dson, was lord of Stapleton, and comptroller of the household to King Step
hen.
Sir Miles Stapylton, Knight, the next in descent, fought under the standa
rd of the Cross, in Palestine, and, on his return, married Pendoras, daugh
ter of the King of Cyprus. After three descents came another Sir Miles, w
ho distinguished himself in the wars of Gascony and Scotland, in the reig
ns of the first and second Edwards, and was summoned to parliament, as a b
aron, in 1313. His son, Sir Nicholas Stapylton, second baron, was summon
ed to parliament in 1342. He married Sibill, a niece and coheir of Pet
er De Brus, who brought him the manor of Carlton. He was involved in the i
nsurrection of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and was fined 2,000 marks to sa
ve his life, but the fine was remitted by Edward III. in the first ye
ar of his reign. His son, Sir Miles, third baron, was one of the first kni
ghts of the garter. He was a warrior of repute, and was high sheriff of Yo
rkshire in 1353, aga
in in 1355, and also for the five years following. Of another of this fami
ly, Sir Bryan Stapylton, K.G., it is related that "the King of England a
nd the King of Cyprus being present, he fought with a Saracen, faith for f
aith, whom, by the grace of God and his valour, he did kill. For which cau
se he did desire for the reward of his valour, of Edward III., then presen
t, nothing else but that he and his heirs, in memory of the victory, shou
ld carry for their crest the head of a Saracen." Sir Robert Stapylto
n, of Wighill, Knight, when high sheriff of Yorkshire, in 1581, met the ju
dges with seven score men, in suitable liveries. He was, according to Camd
en, "a person well spoken, comely, and skilled in the languages, with scar
ce an equal, except Sir Philip Sidney, and no superior inEngland." Brya
n, third son of Sir Robert, was Receiver-General in the north for Charl
es I., and seated himself at Myton. From him the Myton branch of the fami
ly is descended. His son, Sir Henry, was created a baronet in 1660. Sir Ma
rtin Stapylton, eighth baronet, died, without issue, in 1817, and the tit
le became extinct, but the estates devolved upon his nephew, Martin Bre
e, Esq. (son of his sister Anne, wife of the Rev. John Bree), who assum
ed the surname and arms of Stapylton only. The present owner of Myton, h
is grandson, was high sheriff of Yorkshire in 1876.

On the south siDe of the river Tees stands an inconsiderable village call
ed Stapylton, whence this ancient family hath obtained its surname. Tradit
ion states that, in the year 450, Octa, brother of Hengist, and Ebusa arri
ved with their followers on the banks of the Tees to defend the adjacent c
ountry from the ravages of the Picts, and that being Angles, and some fr
om that part of the Cimbrica Chersonesus, which is still called Stapleto

me of their original residence by call the new settlement Stapyltun, for '
holm,' which means "an island in a river," they were obliged, from the sit

Trevor Foulds in his excellent work, Thurgarton Cartulary (1994), pp clii-
clviii indicates that Maud Basset, wife of William de Heriz (fl. 1230-1262
), of Wiverton, Nottinghamshire, had six marks of land in Wyndesclive in f
ree marriage by grant of her father, Ralph Basset [of Drayton Basset, Staf
fordshire]. Mr. Foulds was unable to identify the locality named Wyndescli
ve.
However, Wyndesclive is surely the same place as "Wendlecliva" held by Ma
ud Basset's grandfather, Ralph Basset, under Henry de Sully, Abbot of Glas
tonbury, in 1189 [Reference: N.E. Stacy, ed., Surveys of the Estates of Gl
asonbury Abbey, c. 1135-1201 (Records of Social & Economic History 33) (20
01): 208]. In footnote 3 on page 208, Mr. Stacy, the editor of the above m
entioned work on Glastonbury Surveys, identifies "Wendlecliva" as Kingsto
ne Winslow (in Ashbury), Berkshire:
"This holding in Kingstone Winslow (1/2 mile north of Ashbury church) corr
esponds with the 4-1/2 hides held in Ashbury in 1086 by Robert d'Oilly, ma

Thomas Holland, 1st Earl of Kent (d. 1360) was an English nobleman and mil
itary commander during the Hundred Years War.
He was from a gentry family in Holland, Lancashire. In his early milita
ry career, he fought in Flanders. He was engaged, in 1340, in the Engli
sh expedition into Flanders and sent, two years later, with Sir John D'Art
evelle to Bayonne, to defend the Gascon frontier against the French. In 13
43, he was again on service in France; and, in the following year, had t
he honour of being chosen one of the founders of the Most Noble Order of t
he Garter. In 1346, he attended King Edward III into Normandy in the immed
iate retinue of the Earl of Warwick; and, at the taking of Caen, the Cou
nt of Eu and Guînes, Constable of France, and the Count De Tancarville sur
rendered themselves to him as prisoners. At the Battle of Crécy, he was o
ne of the principal commanders in the van under the Prince of Wales and h
e, afterwards, served at the Siege of Calais in 1346-7.
Around the same time or before his first expedition, he married the 12-yea
r-old princess Joan Plantagenet, Joan of Kent, daughter of Edmund of Woods
tock, 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret Wake, granddaughter of Edward I and Ma
rguerite of France, and sole heir of John, Earl of Kent. However, during h
is absence on foreign service, Joan, under pressure from her family, contr
acted another marriage with William Montacute, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (of w
hose household Holland had been seneschal). This second marriage was annul
led in 1349, when Joan's previous marriage with Holland was proved to t
he satisfaction of the papal commissioners.
Between 1353 and 1356 he was summoned to Parliament as Baron De Holland.
In 1354 Holland was the king's lieutenant in Brittany during the minori
ty of the Duke of Brittany, and in 1359 co-captain-general for all the Eng
lish continental possessions.
His brother-in-law John, Earl of Kent, died in 1360, and Holland became Ea
rl of Kent in right of his wife.
He was succeeded as baron by his son Thomas, the earldom still being he
ld by his wife (though the son later became Earl in his own right). Anoth
er son, John became Earl of Huntingdon and Duke of Exeter.

Note: think that we must keep in mind information shown in the Pedigr
ee of Sherburne, of Stonyhurst, set forth between pages572 and 573 in HIST
ORY OF THE COUNTY PALATINE AND DUCHY OFLANCASTER, by Edward Baines. This p
edigree can be found on-lineatwww.heskethbank.com/history/baines/images/ba
ines_sherburne,jpg.
The Sherburne pedigree identifies "Margaret, sister of Robert de Hollan
d" as the wife of "Sir John Blakeburne." They are shown as the paren
ts of "Alicia de Blackburne" and of "Jordan de Bayley."Alicia is sho
wn to have married Sir Robert Sherburne. It also shows that their daught
er Katherine Sherburne married "Sir John Tempest of Bracewell, 27 ED. I
II 27." Since Edward III's reign began in 1327, it would appear that eith
er this marriage occurred in 1354 or that this Sir John Tempest was sti
ll activei n 1354.
According to Henry Sutliff, in a post to SGM 11 Feb 2002, John & Margar
et had the following:
1. Alice, wife of Sir Robert Shireburne
2. Agnes (dsp), wife of (1) Sir Henry de Lea and (2) Robert deHorncliffe
3. Joan, wife of Sir Thomas Arderne
Note: Henry Sutliff, citing VCH Lancs, vol II, does not mention Jord
an de Bayley. In fact it looks to me that Jordan de Bayley (who might ha
ve been b. c1300) might be better placed as son of Alice de Blackburn & Ro
bert Sherburne. Alice held the manor of Aighton Bailey in dower (whi
ch is where I assume the name Bayley came from), and Robert Sherburne w
as of Stoneyhurst (although that might be from his wife Alice).
~1265 - >1329 Margaret De Holand 64 64 REFN: 9842AN
Sir Adam Banastre [married] Margaret de Holand, sister of Sir Robert de Ho
land of Upholland, co. Lancaster, and widow of Sir John Blackburn. [Ancest
ral Roots, line 34-32]
Note: I originally had Margaret as daughter of Robert de Holand& Elizabe
th Salmesbury, being sister of Robert 1st Lord Holand of Upholland. Howev
er I now have her as sister of the Robert who married Elizabeth Salmesbur
y, and daughter of Thurstan de Holand. She could still be an early chi
ld of Robert de Holand,or a late child of Thurstan, but I am now leani
ng to Thurstan.Note that the "The Lancashire Hollands" below indicates s
he is daughter of Thurstan.
Now, I continue with VCH Lancaster v. 5. At pp. 245-246, the article sa
ys that : "Shortly after 1287, but by what title is unknown, the manor [
of Bolton] was held by Margaret, sister of Sir Robert de Holland, and on h
er death divided among her four daughters and heirs. [footnote deleted] T
he eldest, Alice, married Sir Robert de Shireburne, and the fourth part as
signed to her descended with the Shireburne estates. [footnote deleted]
The foregoing information is more or less repeated in VCH Lancaster v.
6. At p. 131, the article notes that Henry de Lacy,Earl of Lincoln, gave t
he manors of Chorley and Bolton to Robert de Hepwall and Margaret [de Holl
and] in consideration of Robert's praiseworthy services. Margaret was eith
er the intended recipient of these manors or later acquired them. "She w
as sister of Robert de Holland, and thrice married. By her first husban
d, Sir John de Blackburn of Wiswell, she had three daughters; by her secon
d, the above-named Robert de Hepwall, who died in 1304, he had a son Joh
n, who probably died young. The third husband was the Adam Banastre execut
ed in 1315; by Hepwallor Banastre she had another daughter. [citations del
etedthroughout]
VCH Lancaster v. 7 may show a primary source showing themarriage between S
ir John Tempest and Katherine Sherburne. At p.2, the article begins the hi
story of Aighton in Mitton. On p. 2,the article says that Margaret Haphal
e, afterward Banastre,gained control of Aighton. "After Margaret's death h
er manorswere divided among her daughters--Alice wife of Robert deShirebur
ne," and the others being named. Beginning at p.3, thearticle describes t
he subsequent involvement of the Sherburnes:
- - - -
And in a later e-mail clarifying the 1287 date above:
I really do not think that we can date Margaret de Holand'smarriage to Jo
hn Blackburn back to around 1280. VCH Lancaster6:131 says that Henry de La
cy granted Chorley and Bolton toMargaret and her then husband Robert de He
pwall after heacquired them from Richard de Lothburgh who did not himselfo
btain these manors from William de Ferrers until 1297, not1287. Since Marg
aret had had only one son and possibly adaughter from this husband by t
he time he died in 1304, it islikely that she and Hepwall were not marri
ed until 1297 or so.Although the earlier volume VCH Lancaster 5:245 refe
rs toMargaret having "shortly after 1287, by what title is unknown,the man
or" of Bolton, this appears to be an editing errorcorrected in volu
me 6, as William de Ferrers still owned Chorleyand Bolton as late as 129
7. If Margaret had married Sir John deBlackburn before 1290, she would pro
bably have been survived bymore than three children upon her first husband
's death. Itstill seems to me that Margaret's birth year was still around1
270, the same date that CP proposes for the lst Lord de Holand.It is rath
er chastening to realize how such a simple editingerror, if that it be, c
an create havoc in establishing familylines.

Alan La Zouche, 1st Baron La Zouche of Ashby (October 9, 1267 - March 1314
), English nobleman, was the son of Roger La Zouche.
He was governor of Rockingham Castle and steward of Rockingham Fores
t. He married Eleanor Segrave, daughter of Nicholas Segrave, 1st Baron Seg

ZOUCHE, ALAN LA; Alan was born on October 9, 1267, the son of ROGER La Zou

ders, and attended Councils in Rochester and London in that year. He was s
ummoned for service against the Scots in 1297-1313. He fought in the Vangu
ard at the Battle of Falkirk on July 22, 1298. King Edwards army at that b
attle consisted of 12,000 infantry, including 10,000 Welsh, and 2,000 cava
lry. William Wallace, the Scottish leader accepted battle in a withdrawn d
efensive position. He had few cavalry and few archers; but his confiden
ce lay in the solid "schiltrons" (circles) of spearmen, who were almost in
vincible. The armored cavalry of the English vanguard were hurled back wi
th severe losses from the spear-points. Edward brought up his Welsh arche
rs in the intervals between the horsemen of the second line, concentrati
ng their arrows on specific points in the Scotish schiltrons, so that the
re were more dead and wounded than living men in those places. It was in
to these gaps that the English Knights forced their way, and once the Scot
tish order was broken the spearmen were quickly massacred. Alan was at t
he siege of Carlaverock in July 1300. His part was described in Nichola

land, 1210; and swore to support the Barons who were enforcing Magna Car

rter, 11 June 1216, and was rewarded, both at the end of John's reign a
nd during the opening years of Henry III, with numerous grants of lan
d. He had licence to go on pilgrimage to Santiago, 6 August 1220; was giv

rd is the grandfather of the Richard who in 1226 married Eustachia Basset.
Richard de Camville, who was founder, in temp King Stephen, of Combe Abbe
y, County Warwick, and was one of the witnesses, in the 12th year of the s
ame reign, to the convention between that monarch and Henry, Duke of Norma
ndy, regarding the succession of the latter to the crown of England. (Ki
ng Stephen was the son of Adela, daughter of William, the Conqueror, and t
his Henry was the great-grandson of William, being the son of Maud, call
ed the Empress, daughter of Henry I, son of William. As this last Henry w
as just a baby in, 1135, Stephen was finally made King, and in the wars ov
er it all it was agreed that Henry should follow Stephen, which he d
id in 1154 as Henry II.) This feudal lord appears to be a person of gre
at power during the whole reign of Henry II, and after the accession of Ri
chard I we find him one of the Admirals in the expedition made by that mon
arch to the Holy Land. He was subsequently Governor of Cypress, when
ce he went without the King's permission to the Siege of Acre and there di
ed. His lordship left four sons and a daughter.

Fought with the English at Bannockburn.
The second son of Gilbert the first Earl and suceeded to the title on t
he death of his father. Robert's second wife Alienore De Clare may have be
en the sister of his own sister-in- law who married his elder brother Gilb
ert. Robert supported the Balliol and Comyn (through his mother) clai
ms to the Scottish throne and opposed Robert Bruce who had murdered John C
omyn in 1306. Robert was not suprisingly conspicuous by his absence from B
ruce's first parliament at St Andrews between 1308-9. Robert fought with I
ngram and was captured by the Scots at Bannockburn to be ransomed later. R
obert was the lord of Redesdale when James, the Black, Dougl as took Harbo
ttle when he raided the north in 1318. By his first marriage to Lucy De Ky
me the Kyme lands came into the posession of the De Umfrevilles. This uni
on produced 3 children Gilbert who died an infant before 1307, another Gil
bert who became the third Earl of Angus and a daughter Elizabeth who ma

Hugh Montgomery – Aristocrat and Soldier
The Montgomeries were one of the most powerful families in Scotland, wi
th many titles and large estates dating back to the 1100s.
Adam Montgomery was the Fifth Laird of Braidstane, and his son, Hugh Montg
omery (1560 - 1636), was primarily an aristocrat and a soldier. He had be
en educated at Glasgow College and went to France where he spent some ti
me at the royal court. He then moved to Holland and became Captain of Fo
ot of a Scottish Regiment, under William 1 of Orange-Nassau (King Willi
am III’s great grandfather) fighting against the army of King Phil
ip II of Spain – whose troops included an Englishman called Guy Fawkes!
When his father died, Hugh returned to Scotland to become the Sixth Lai
rd of Braidstane and married Elizabeth Shaw, daughter of the Laird of Gree
nock. His fighting skills were used again when he became involved in the g
enerations-old feud between the Montgomeries and the Cunninghams (led by t
he Earl of Glencairn). Hugh Montgomery claimed that one of the Cunningha
ms had insulted him, and challenged him to a duel, but Cunningham fled - f
irst to London and then to Holland. Montgomery tracked him down to the Inn
er Court of the Palace at The Hague, drew his sword and with a single thru
st aimed to kill him. Luckily for Cunningham, the sword hit the buck
le of his belt and saved his life - but Montgomery, thinking he had kill
ed Cunningham, put away his sword and while he was leaving the Palace w
as arrested and imprisoned at Gevangenpoort in the Binnenhof.
Stationed there was a Scottish soldier - Sergeant Robert Montgomery - w
ho came
to visit Hugh in prison, and they came up with a jailbreak plan. Robert ar
rived at the prison dressed as a wealthy Laird with property in Scotlan
d, to court the daughter of the prison Marshall in order to get the k
ey to Hugh’s cell. The plan was so successful that within a few days th
ey were married in the prison, with Hugh Montgomery performing the ceremo
ny according to Scottish law. The wedding guests had drunk so much wine th
at Hugh, Robert and his new wife were able to slip away unnoticed to a pre
-arranged ship which took them to Leith, near Edinburgh.
Hugh’s return to Scotland saw him receive a severe reprimand from King Jam
es VI, but thanks to his own strong relationship with the King and the sup
port of his influential brother George Montgomery, Hugh was back in favou
r. George had left Scotland as a youth and had become Dean of Norwich in 1
602, a privileged position which he used to gather information about Engli
sh politics which he then passed back to King James’s court in Scotland.
So Hugh Montgomery also had considerable influence with King James VI, a
nd when Queen Elizabeth 1 died in the spring of 1603 he accompanied Jam
es to London for his coronation ceremony.
MISC
- Montgomery established the Donaghadee/Portpatrick trading route for t
he settlement, and in 1626 he attempted to rename the towns as Montgome
ry and PortMontgomery respectively. The new names didn’t catch on, but a d
atestone recording this event survives in a private collection in Donaghad
ee to this day.
- Hugh Montgomery was given what may have been a Scottish State funer
al in Newtownards on 8th September 1636. The funeral service was preach
ed by Bishop Leslie, the Bishop who had desposed the Presbyterian ministe
rs just a few weeks previously on 12th August. The morning after the funer
al, 9th September 1636, four of these ministers (Blair, Hamilton, McClella
nd and Livingstone)set sail from Groomsport Harbour on board the “Eagle Wi
ng”, bound for the New World with 136 other Ulster-Scots settlers.
- Montgomery gave each of his 6 churches (Donaghadee, Greyabbey, Comber, K
ilmore, Newtownards and Portpatrick) three gifts: a bell, a 1603 Geneva Bi
ble and a 1603 Common Prayer book, each with the Braidstane coat of ar
ms in gold leaf on the front cover. One of the bel

1. HUGH AUDLEY, of Stratton Audley, Oxon, youngest son of James AUDL
EY or ALDITHLEY, of Heleigh, co. Stafford, by Ela, daughter of William LON
GESPEE; was born circa 1267 [abt 1255], and obtained from his mother so
on after her husband's death, a reversionary grant, (1272-73) of Stratt
on Audley, which had been her inheritance. He was in the French wars, 129
4, &c.; a prisoner in France 2 April 1299; In the Scottish wars, 1299-130
2, and again 1313; he was in Gascony 1304/5; Justice of North Wales 130
6; and was Governor of Montgomery Castle, 1309. He was summoned to Parliam
ent 15 May 1321, the writ being directed Hugoni de Audele seniori, to dist
inguish him from his 2nd. son, Hugh Audley, junior, who had been so summon
ed in 1317. In 1321/2 he joined the insurrection of the Earl of Lancaste
r, but surrendered before the battle of Boroughbridge, 16 March 1321/2, a
nd was confined in Wallingford Castle. He married, before 7 January 129
3, and probably in 1288 Isolt, widow of Sir Walter DE BALUN, of Much Marcl
e, co. Hereford (who was living and married to her in 1286/7), daughter [a
unt] of Sir Edmund DE MORTIMER, of Wigmore, co. Hereford, by Margaret, dau
ghter of Sir William DE FIENNES. She brought him the manors of Eastingto
n, co. Gloucester, and of Thornbury, co. Hereford. He died between Novemb
er 1325, and March 1325/6, probably while still a prisoner. No trace c
an be found of the pardon which he is sometimes said to have received, a
nd any peerage which he may be held to have possessed, may be treated as h
aving been forfeited by attainder. His widow was living 1336. [CP 1:347-8]

REFN: 10285AN
This late 2nd marriage would mean that she had 4 children by Hugh De Audl
ey at a period in her life when she was approaching the end of her child-b
earing years - at age 46. It is not known if she had children by her 1st m
arriage to Walter De Balun.
The Isolde discussion:
Yesterday I researched the matter of the parentage of Iseult, wife of Hu
gh de Audley the elder. Claims have been advanced in print that Iseult w
as the daughter of Sir Edmund de Mortimer, lst Lord Mortimer, by a hither
to unknown first marriage.
My research indicates that Iseult and her first husband, Walter de
Balun, received the grant of the manor of Arley, co. Stafford from
Edmund de Mortimer for the term of their lives. The grant evidently
took place in or before 1286, in which year I believe Walter de Balun
died. In 1305, following Edmund de Mortimer's death, his widow,
Margaret, sued Iseult and her second husband, Hugh de Audley, for
dower in the manor. In 1325 Iseult paid a fine of 10 pounds to the
King for having acquired the manor of Arley without license from the
king [References: William Salt Arch. Soc., vol. 7, pp. 6,137-138,142;
vol. 9, pg. 132].
In the various wrangling over this property, there is no indication
that Iseult had the manor in free marriage, or any indication that she
was related to Edmund de Mortimer. Indeed, the gift being for life is
unusual, as marriage settlements were usually permanent gifts, not
lifetime grants. I also find it unusual that if Edmund de Mortimer
granted the manor to Iseult and Walter for their lives that his widow,
Margaret, would later sue them for dower, especially if Iseult was
Edmund's daughter.
Reading the records on this matter, I'm frankly skeptical that Iseult
de Audley was Edmund de Mortimer's daughter. As best I can determine,
Iseult de Audley was born say 1360. If true, it would make it
chronologically impossible for her to be Edmund de Mortimer's
daughter. Does anyone know any record which would prove Iseult's
parentage?
I've got to sympathize with a lot of this, Doug, having been one a
few years ago to raise the question here as to whether Margaret de
Fiennes was Isolt's mother (see archive). Birth in 1360 to a fa.
living ca. 1252-1304 would certainly pose a few logistical/biological
problems. I wonder if you mean 1260? I've no need at all to cling
to her being a da. of Edmund de Mortimer; but is there trouble in
having her b. say ca. 1270-2, and in her early-mid teens when she m.
Walter de Balun?
Just because it may contain fresh references, here's the relevant
statement in Vict Co. Hist. of Worcester, III, 6, following its
statement that the manor of Upper Arley, Halfshire Hundred, Worcs,
was granted in 1276 to Roger de Mortimer: "It passed from Roger to
his son Edmund in 1282 [CP V, 379], and was granted by the latter to
his daughter Iseult and her first husband Walter de Balun for their
lives. After Walter's death Iseult married Hugh de Audley, and on
his forfeiture in 1322 the manor was granted by the King to Iseult
[Cal.Close, 1323-7, p. 467], who held it until her death about
1339-40 [Abbrev.Rot.Orig. (Rec. Com.), ii, 130]. The reversion after
her death, during the minority of Roger de Mortimer, had been granted
in 1336 to William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton [Duchy of Lanc.
Royal Chart., no. 277], who had married Elizabeth widow of Edmund de
Mortimer, grandson of the Edmund who had granted the manor to Iseult.
[Cal.Close, 1354-60, p. 271; CP V, 379]. Roger came of age about
1348, but Elizabeth held the manor until her death in 1356, when it
passed to her son Roger [Cal.Close, 1354-60, p. 271], who had become
Earl of March by the reversal of his grandfather's attainder in 1354
[CP V, 243]." In note, p. 9, VCH Worc describes "a fine effigy" of
an early C14 knight. "From his arms the knight is probably Sir
Walter de Balun of Much Marcle, co. Hereford, first husband of Iseult

The body of text on EON La Zouche [see below] on page 937 of Volume XII
/2 of Cokayne's Complete Peerage and the footnote 'd' on the same page exp
lains the confusion of marriage. Eon, younger brother of Alan La Zouche (d
.10 Aug 1270) and a son of Roger La Zouche (d.bef 14 May 1238) & his wi
fe Margaret Biset was granted the right to marry Agatha De Ferrers, the 6
th daughter of Sir William De Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby, by his wife Sib
yl Marshall - otherwards he was betrothed [engaged] to marry. This marria
ge did NOT take place. Footnote 'd' reads in part: "This Agatha was a cons
iderable heiress, being coheir to her mother Sybil, sister and (in her iss
ue) coheir of Walter (Marshal), 8th Earl of Pembroke. See ante, vol. i
v, p. 199, ped. chart sub DERBY. Her marriage was, however, transferr
ed by Eon, before 24 July 1255, to Hugh Mortimer of Chelmarsh, whom she ma
rried before 1258." Eon did marry but to Millicent De Cauntelo (Cantilupe
), as detailed below.

William Douglas, 6th Earl of Douglas (c.1424-24 November 1440), was a sho
rt lived Scottish nobleman. He was the eldest son of Archibald Douglas, 5
th Earl of Douglas and Eupheme Graham.
He married Janet Lindsay, daughter of David Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Crawfor
d, and succeeded to the earldom on the death of his father, who had serv
ed as regent of James II. Following Douglas' death, Sir William Crichto
n, Sir Alexander Livingston of Callendar, and James Douglas, Earl of Avond
ale shared power. Together they conspired to break the power of the late E
arl's family, and summoned William and his younger brother David to Edinbu
rgh. The so-called 'Black Dinner' which followed saw the two boys summari
ly beheaded on trumped up charges, in the presence of the young King.
The lordships of Annandale and Bothwell fell to the crown, Galloway to Mar
garet Douglas, the 6th Earl's sister, and the Douglas lands and earldom pa
ssed to William's great-uncle James Douglas, the Earl of Avondale, who w
as accordingly seen later as the main perpetrator.

14  Apr 1322 Executed and attained at Canterbury.
Bartholomew Badlesmere (1275 – 14 April 1322), English nobleman, was the s
on and heir of Gunselm de Badlesmere (died 1301), and fought in the Engli
sh army both in France and Scotland during the later years of the rei
gn of Edward I of England. He is said to have been an ancestor of Geor
ge W Bush
In 1307 he became governor of Bristol Castle. Edward II appointed him stew
ard of his household. Badlesmere made a compact with some other noblem
en to gain supreme influence in the royal council. Although very hosti
le to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, Badlesmere helped to make peace between t
he king and the earl in 1318, and was a member of the middle party which d
etested alike Edward's minions, like the Despensers, and his violent enemi
es like Lancaster.
The king's conduct, however, drew him to the side of the earl, and he h
ad already joined Edward's enemies when, in October 1321, his wife, Margar
et de Clare, refused to admit Queen Isabella to her husband's castle at Le
eds in Kent. The king assaulted and captured the castle, seized and impris
oned Lady Badlesmere, and civil war began.
After the defeat of the Earl of Lancaster at the Battle of Boroughbridg
e, Badlesmere was captured and hanged at Blean near Canterbury on April 1
4, 1322. His head was displayed on the Burgh Gate at Canterbury. His son a
nd heir, Giles, died without children in 1338.
His daughter Elizabeth Badlesmere, 3rd Baroness Badlesmere (1313-8 June 13
56), was married (27 June 1316) to the Hon. Edmund Mortimer, 1st Baron Mor
timer (1302-17 December 1331), Lord Mortimer, eldest son of Roger Mortime
r, 1st Earl of March and Joane de Geneville, Baroness Geneville. Both we
re the parents of Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March.

He was the 2nd Baron of Mortimer, was summoned to Parliament1306-1326. Th
is nobleman, notorious in our histories as the paramourof Isabel, Queen Co
nsort of Edward II, was in his sixteenth year atthe death of his fathe
r. He married Jaone, daughter of Peter deGenville, Lord of Trim, in Irelan
d. In 34th of Edward I, about 1306,he received the honour of Knighthoo
d. He aided in the Scottish wars,and in 3rd of Edward II, 1310, he was ma
de Governor of the Castle ofBuelt, and later was Lord Lieutenant of Irelan
d. During the latterpart of Edward II's reign he attached himself to the Q
ueen, and atlength fled with her and Prince Edward to France. He later ret
urnedand was made Earl of March soon after the accession of Edward III. He
here upon became proud beyond measure (so that his son Geoffrey calledh
im the King of Folly) and assumed royal authority. His career was nothowev
er of long continuance, for King Edward III, becoming sensible ofhis fol
ly and vices, had him seized in the Castle of Queen Isabel inNottingham a
nd was convicted under various charges, the first wascomplicity in the mur
der of Edward II, and receiving sentence of deathwas hanged in 1330. He le
ft by Joan de Geneville 4 sons and 7daughters.
By marriage to Joanna de Geneville, a later Roger Mortimer (1287-1330)secu
red possession of Ludlow Castle. This became the family'sprincipal power b
ase for the next six generations.
Roger Mortimer was a very powerful and ambitious Marcher Lord. He wasthe f
irst of several members of his family to attempt to seize thethrone of Eng
land. He fought the Scottish Wars and made attempts toremove the King's fa
vorites, at first with some success. In 1323 hewas imprisoned in the Tow
er of London, but escaped to France, an eventhe later commemorated by buil
ding St Peter's chapel in the outerbailey of Ludlow Castle.
In France, Mortimer formed an alliance with Queen Isabella, who haddesert
ed her effeminate husband, King Edward II of England. Theyraised an arm
y, invaded England and forced Edward to abdicate in favorof his youngest s
on, the future Edward III. Mortimer entertainedIsabella at his castl
es on the Welsh borders and they became famouslovers. Meanwhile, Edwa
rd II was cruelly murdered at Berkeley Castlein 1327.
Following Edward's death, Mortimer, acting as regent, was the virtualrul
er of England, but he over-reached himself and aroused the anger ofother b
arons. In October 1330 he was arrested at Nottingham andsentenced to deat
h. He was executed at Tyburn in London.
Later, the ambitions of the Mortimers became part of the greatdynastic str
uggles of the mid-15th century which became known as the"War of the Roses.

REFN: P3991
Agnes De Percy, sister and co-heir, became sole inheritor of the l ine
which for five generations had lorded it over the North Riding of
Yorks hire. Last of the original family planted in Yorkshire by William,
called Alg ernons, she passed on the great name and heritange to the sons
whom she had b orne to husband Josceline De Louvain. With her burial at
Whitby Abbey began t he story of the second and more splendid dynasty of
Percy.
While the Lady Ag nes De Percy, eventual heiress of her race, was in her
16th year and as yet u nwedded it occurred to the shrewd Queen Adeliza,
2nd wife of King Henry I, th at no fitter match than this could be found
for her own half-brother Joscelin e De Louvain. Accordingly she hastily
summoned young Josceline from Brabant, and established him at court,
where Agnes De Percy was a maid of honour.[9150 2.ftw]

In 1172 William de Tresgot owed the service of one and a half knights in t
he Cotentin. He was succeeded by Robert de Tresgoz, probably his son, w
ho was bailiff of the Cotentin in 1195 and under John, and who held lan
ds in many English counties. Robert adhered to John and lost his lan
ds in Normandy; and in the Registers of Philip Augustus there is the ent
ry "Feodum de Tresgoz quod dominus rex tenet per escaetam debet servici
um unius militis et dimidium." By as charter dated at Paris in Nov, 1218 P
hilip Augustus gave to Miles de Levis the usufruct of the land which Robe
rt de Tregots had possessed at Tregots, Favarches, and St-Romphaire. Favar
ches is the next commune to Troisgots, and St-Romphaire is close by. The
re was a castle at Troisgots, described by Gerville.
----------------------
ROBERT DE TREGOZ was probably the son of William DE TREGOZ (who owed the s
ervice of 1½ knights in the Cotentin in 1172), and may also have been t
he man of that name who was a partisan of the young King Henry (eldest s
on of Henry II) in 1173 and attested his charters in 1175. [Complete Peera
ge XII/2:17-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
Note: CP does not indicate any parents for William, father of Robert de Tr
egoz of Ewyas. However the line by Dave Utzinger indicates that William w
as the son of "Le Sire de Tregoz" who fought at the Battle of Hastings. Cl
early Robert, being born around 1169 or not more than a decade before, wou
ld not be the grandson of a man born before 1047 (in order to fight in 106
6), but he might be the great grandson. Therefore I am making William a s
on of William, son of "Le Sire de Tregoz".
~1085 - ~1140 William De Tregoz 55 55 REFN: 11364AN
WILLIAM DE TREGOZ, who flourished in the reign of Henry I and of whom t
he great Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. 1130-1, makes much mention, which docume
nt Sir William Dugdale, in his Baronage (1675), invariably refe
rs to as of 5th Stephen, and this, because the roll was considered of th
at date in his early life, though Prynne, and all antiquaries of any talen
t, acuteness, or discrimination, had determined it of Henry the First's re
ign in 1668, seven years before. The said Pipe Roll of 31 Hen. I. proves W
illiam Tregoz to have been a man of much consequence, and to have been con
cerned in Norfolk, Essex, Berks, and Lincolnshire; and, moreover, th
at he then had the lands of William Peverell, of London, in farm. Tregoz m
arried and Had issue, and very probably that Agnes Tregoz, who we find liv
ing in 9th Ric. I. as concerned in Norfolk and Essex, was his widow. His i
ssue were, apparently, three sons and one daughter. [The Topographer and G
enealogist, Volume II, 1853]
Note: Dave Utzinger's line has Robert de Tregoz, of Ewyas as son of this W
illiam. I cannot believe that a son of a man who fought at the Battle of H
astings could be father of Robert of Ewyas; therefore I am making Willia
m, indicated as father of Robert by CP, as a son of this William. The dat
es are at least possible with the "extra" William

The Conqueror and His Companions
by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tin sley Brothers, 1874.
"Henri le Sire De Ferriers," commemorated by Wace as a co mbatant at Senla
c, was Seigneur De Saint Hilaire De Ferriers, near Bernay, and son
of Walkelin De Ferrers, who fell in a contest with the first Hugh De Montf
ort we hear of in the early days of Duke William II, and therefore,
though a younger son, for he had an elder brother named Guillaume, who Mon
sieur d e Pluquet tells us, was also in the great battle, must have
been well advance d in years in 1066. Whatever his services, it was not ti
ll after Hugh d'Avranc hes was created
Earl of Chester, in 1071, that Henry De Ferrers received at l east the Cas
tle of Tutbury, his "caput Baronie," which had been previously gr anted
to the said Hugh, and resigned by him on becoming Earl of Chester. In 108
5, we find him appointed one of the commissioners for the general
survey of the kingdom, and in that year he is recorded as the holder, besi
des the Ca stle of Tutbury, of seven lordships in Staffordshire,
twenty in Berkshire, th ree in Wiltshire, five in Essex, seven in Oxfordsh
ire, two in Lincolnshire, t wo in Buckinghamshire, one in
Gloucestershire, two in Herefordshire, three in Hampshire, thirty-fi
ve in Leicestershire, six in Warwickshire, three in Nott inghamshire, a
nd one hundred and fourteen in Derbyshire! When bestowed, however, or h
ow obtained, whether wholly by grant of the King, or partly by marriag
e, is not recorded. Neither have we succeeded in identifying his wife, Ber
ta , in conjunction with whom he founded and richly endowed the Prio
ry of Tutb ury in 1089, "by the concession and authority of William the yo
unger (Rufus), King of the English." The date of his death also is unknow
n; but he had issu e three sons, Enguenulf, William, and Robert. The two e
ldest died in his life time without issue, and Robert, who succeeded hi
m, was the first Earl of Ferr ers, not Earl Ferrers, as incorrectly descri
bed, by some, but "Robertus, Come s De Ferrarius" or "De Ferriers
," as in the charter of the second Earl Robert , who was also Earl of Nott
ingham, and
according to Orderic Vital, the first Earl of Derby. It is no part of t
he plan of this work to enter into details respecting the descendants of t
he actual companions of the Conqueror, but there are exceptions to mos
t, if not to all, rules, and there is so little to be said about Hen
ry De Ferrers, and so much about his immediate successors, that I am tempt
ed to depart from my own rule on this occasion. There is considera ble dif
ference of opinion, in the absence of
indubitable facts, as to which o f these two Roberts — father and son — di
stinguished himself in the famous ba ttle at Northallerton, known as the B
attle of the Standard, also as to the ex act period at which the earldo
ms of Nottingham and Derby were conferred upon an Earl of Ferrers; but t
he principal bone of contention is the identificatio n of the fortunate me
mber of that family who married Margaret, daughter and h eiress of Willi
am Peverel, Lord of Nottingham, who was dispossessed of his es tates by Ki
ng Henry II, for conspiring with Maud, Countess of Chester, to poison h
er husband, Ranulph Gernons, Earl of Chester, in 1155. Now th
is is a ve ry curious story, which has been received in perfect confidenc
e, and handed down from writer to writer, as a portion of the
history of England, until, at the Newark Congress of the British Archaeolo
gical Association, I ventured to question the very existence
even of the Margaret Peverel, who has been married by various genealogis
ts to at least three successive Earls of Ferrers.
In the charter of King Stephen to the monks of Lanton we find mention of t
his Wi lliam Peverel, of his wife Oddona, and his son Henry, at that time
Henry De Ferrers - was born about 1036, lived in Ferriers, Normandy, Fran
ce and died in 1088 while li

Roger de Mortimer, deemed by some to have been son of William de Warren, a
nd by others, of Walter de St. Martin, brother of that William, was found
er of the abbey of St. Victor, in Normandy. "It is reported," says Dugdal
e, "that in the year 1054 (which was twelve years before the Norman Conque
st), when Odo, brother of Henry, King of France, invaded the territo
ry of Evreux, Duke William sent this Roger, then his general (with Rober
t, Earl of Ewe, and other stout soldiers), to resist his attempts; who mee
ting with Odo near to the castle of Mortimer, gave him battle, and obtain
ed a glorious victory. It is further observable of this Roger that he w
as by consanguinity allied to the Norman duke (afterwards king, by the na
me of William the Conqueror), his mother being niece to Gunnora, wife of R
ichard, Duke of Normandy, great grandmother to the Conqueror." The presum
ed son of this Roger, Ralph de Mortimer, accompanying the Duke of Norman
dy in his expedition against England, was one of his principal commande
rs at the decisive battle of Hastings. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyan

RALPH DE MORTIMER, brother and heir. In 1216 he had been one of a deputati
on sent by King John to William de Briwere, after his forced adhesion to t
he Barons during their occupation of London, to arrange for his retu
rn to the King's service; and in September 1217 he had witnessed at Lambe
th the articles drawn up between Henry III and Louis of France. On 23 Nove
mber 1227 he gave £100 as relief for the lands of his brother Hugh, and t
he King took his homage; and on 8 July 1229, for his faithful servic
e, he was pardoned all except £500 of the debts of his father and brothe
r. In October 1230 he obtained a charter for a fair at Knighton and free w
arren at Stratfield, and in 1231 he was made custodian of Clun Castle a
nd honour during pleasure. In June 1233, with the other Lords Marchers, Ra
lph exchanged hostages with the King de fideli servicio, quousque regnum s
it ita securatum quod firma pax sit in regno Anglie. On 7 November followi
ng he attested a charter of Henry III at Hereford. He was present on 28 Ja
nuary 1235/6 at the confirmation of Magna Carta at Westminster, and in t
he same year he and the other Lords Marchers claimed the right to find a
nd bear the silvered spears which supported the canopies held over the Ki
ng and Queen in their Coronation procession; but the right of the Baro
ns of the Cinque Ports to carry both canopies being allowed, the Marcher
s' claim was rejected as frivolous. In 1241 he was first of the pledg
es to the King for his sister-in-law Senana, wife of Griffith ap Llewely
n; but in August that year Meredith ap Howel and the other Welsh lor
ds of Kerry made a permanent peace with Henry III, whether they shou
ld be at war with Ralph de Mortimer or not. In June 1242 he was summon
ed to come to the King's aid in Gascony as soon as possible. He marrie
d, in 1230, Gladys (Gladusa) Duy, or Dark-eyed, daughter of Llewelyn AP JO
RWORTH, by his 2nd wife, Joan (illegitimate daughter of KiNG JOHN), and wi
dow of Reynold DE BRAOSE [died June 1228]. He died 6 August 1246, and w

There is a lot of confusion regarding the one or two generations followi

cceeded by another Reginald, then by Robert; others say that the sequen
ce was Miles, Reginald, Robert (the second Reginald may be the broth
er of Robert, rather than the father) and no two sources agree on who t
he wives of these men were. The IGI reflects the confusion in the origin
al sources so one ends up going around and around in multiply linked spous
es and offspring. I've gone with the simplest version, that from the Visit
ations, with only one Reginald, because that is supported by H. M. Imbert-
Terry's discussion in "The Royal Courtenays".

~1216 Anastasia De Percy REFN: 11737AN ~1197 - 1242 Geoffrey De Neville 45 45 REFN: 11738AN
Geoffrey was the first Neville owner of Raby Castle. He took the surna
me of his mother, Isabel. The Neville family was at times the most powerf
ul family in England and remained in possession of Raby Castle until 15
69 when the last owner of Raby, Charles, 6th and last Neville of Westmorla
nd fled the country to Holland after the "Rising of the North" which he pa
rticipated in, along with Thomas Percy on the side of Mary, Queen of Scots
.
Assumed the surname of Neville (Nevile) on account of the great inheritan
ce from his mother.
Foster in his Yorkshire Pedigrees records Margaret Longvillers as a wife a
lso.
GEOFFREY, son and heir apparent of Robert and Isabel, assumed the na
me of NEVILLE, and was evidently put in possession of the whole, or par
t, of the Neville fees in Lincs. As Geoffrey FitzRobert he gave land at Bu
rreth to Tupholme Abbey, and as Geoffrey FitzRobert FitzMaldred he witness

Maldred, Lord of Allendale. Born around 1039, he was the elder son of
Maldred of Scotland and Edith of Northumberland. He received Winlaton
from the Bisho p of Durham in 1084. His younger brother, Gospatrick, who
was born about 1040 , bought the Earldom of Northumbria from William the
Conqueror. The cost was high; the betrayal of his cousin, Malcolm III
King of Scotland, and his Scott ish ancestry. This is the story of the
betrayal: Malcolm III King of Scotland was using Cumberland and
Westmoreland as a base for raids against William th e Conqueror in 1070.
To prove his loyalty to William the Conqueror, Gospatric k plundered
Cumberland and slaughtered the inhabitants. He then returned with his
plunder to his fortress at Bamburgh Castle. Malcolm took his revenge, no t
against his cousin Gospatrick but against the people of Northern England!
He was no better than William the Conqueror, he slaughtered what few
inhabit ants were left or took them as slaves. This incident became known
as “King Ma lcolm’s Revenge”.  That Gospatrick was created the First Earl

Philip V the Tall (French: Philippe V le Long) (1293 - January 3, 1322) w
as King of France from 1316 to 1322, and a member of the Capetian dynasty.
He was born in Lyon, the second son of King Philip IV and Jeanne of Navarr
e. Philip V became regent for his infant nephew King John I, and when Jo
hn lived only a few days, he proclaimed himself king. There was much specu
lation that Philip was responsible for the infant king's demise.
In 1307 he was married to Jeanne II, Countess of Burgundy (daughter and he
iress of Otto IV, count of Burgundy) and they had three daughters:
Jeanne 1308 - 1349), Countess of Burgundy in her own right and conso
rt of Eudes IV, Duke of Burgundy. The County and Duchy of Burgundy were un
ited due to their marriage.
Marguerite (1310 - May 9, 1382). Consort of Louis I of Flanders.
Isabelle (c. 1311 - April, 1345). Consort to Guigues VIII de La Tour du Pi
n, Dauphin du Viennois.
They also had a son whose name was either Philip or Louis and who di
ed in 1317.
In 1320, Philip managed to expand his territory through war at the expen
se of Flanders.
On domestic matters, Philip attempted to institute government reforms a
nd worked to standardize weights and measures. He followed in the ste
ps of his father, Philip IV, and revoked many of the decisions of his pred
ecessor and older brother, Louis X, who had been widely influenced by h
is uncle, Charles of Valois, and had left the kingdom in a poor state. Phi
lip also restored the goods and dignity of many of his father's closest di
gnitaries and collaborators (including Enguerrand de Marigny), who had be
en banished under Louis X.
Philip V died at Longchamp, Paris and is interred in Saint Denis Basilica.
Without a male heir, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Charles IV.
1295 Charles IV Capet REFN: 11943AN
Charles IV the Fair (French: Charles IV le Bel) (1294 – February 1, 1328
), a member of the Capetian Dynasty, reigned as King of France from 13
22 to 1328.
He was the third son of Philip IV. By virtue of his mother, Jeanne I of Na
varre's, birthright, Charles claimed the title Charles I, King of Navarre.
He was crowned King of France in 1322 at the cathedral in Reims. In 1327 C
harles helped his sister Isabella against her husband, King Edward II of E
ngland. During his six-year reign Charles IV increased taxes, imposed oner
ous duties, and arbitrarily confiscated estates from enemies or those he d
isliked.
As with his brother before him, Charles died without a male heir, thus end
ing the direct line of the Capetian dynasty. Twelve years earlier, the Sal
ic Law had been recognized as controlling succession to the French thron
e, thus barring Charles' 1-year-old daughter Mary from succeeding as the m
onarch. His wife was also pregnant at the time of his death. Since it cou
ld have been possible that she would give birth to a son, a regency was s
et up with the heir presumptive Philip of Valois, a member of the Valois b
ranch of Capetians, being the regent. After two months, his widow gave bir
th to yet another daughter. The regent thus became the King and in May w
as consecrated and crowned Philip VI. At this time, the Salic Law was furt
her re-interpreted to forbid not only inheritance by a woman, but also inh
eritance through a female line, thus barring Edward III of England from t
he French throne.
Charles IV died at Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, and is interred with his thi
rd wife, Jeanne d'Evreux in Saint Denis Basilica.

Philip VI of Valois (French: Philippe VI de Valois; 1293 – August 22, 135
0) was the King of France from 1328 to his death, and Count of Anjou, Main
e, and Valois 1325–1328. He was the son of Charles of Valois and founded t
he Valois Dynasty.
In 1328, King Charles IV died without a direct male descendant, howeve
r, at the time of his death his wife was pregnant. Philip was one of the t
wo chief claimants to the throne along with the demands of Dowager Queen I
sabella of England, the late King Charles' sister, who claimed the Fren
ch throne for her young son King Edward III of England. Philip rose to t
he regency with support of French magnates, following the pattern s
et up by Philip V's succession over his niece Joan II of Navarre, and Char
les IV's succession over all his nieces, including daughters of Phil
ip V. A century later this pattern became the Salic law, which forbade fem
ales and those descended in the female line from succeeding to the thron
e. After Charles' queen, Jeanne d'Evreux, gave birth to a girl, Philip w
as crowned as King on May 27, 1328 at the Cathedral in Reims.
Philip VI, though a descendant of Garcia VI of Navarre, was not an heir n
or a descendant of Joan I of Navarre, whose inheritance (the kingdom of Na
varre, as well as the counties of Champagne, Troyes, Meaux and Brie) had b
een in personal union with the crown of France almost fifty years and h
ad long been administered by the same royal machinery (established by Phil
ip IV, the father of French bureaucracy), which administrative resource w
as inherited by Philip VI. These counties were closely entrenched in the e
conomic and administrative entity of the Royal Domain of France, being loc
ated adjacent to Ile-de-France. Philip, however, was not entitled to th
at inheritance; the rightful heiress was Louis X's surviving daughter, t
he future Joan II of Navarre, the genealogically senior granddaughter of J
oan I of Navarre. Philip ceded Navarre to Joan II, but regarding the count
ies in Champagne, they struck a deal: Joan II received vast lands in Norma
ndy (adjacent to her husbands fief in Evreux) in compensation, and Phil
ip got to keep Champagne as part of the Royal Domain.
In July, 1313, Philippe had married Jeanne, (Joan the Lame), daughter of R
obert II, Duke of Burgundy and princess Agnes of France, the youngest daug
hter of Louis IX. In an ironic twist to his "male" ascendancy to the thron
e, the intelligent, strong-willed Joan, an able regent of France during t
he King's long military campaigns, was said to be the brains behind the th
rone and the real ruler of France.
Their children were:
John II (April 26, 1319   April 8, 1364)
Marie (1326 1333)
Louis (January 17, 1328   January 17, 1328)
Louis (June 8, 1330   June 23, 1330)
Jean (1333–1333)
Philip of Valois (1336 1375), Duke of Orleans
Jeanne (1337 1337)
After Joan died in 1348, Philip married Blanche d'Evreux, princess of Nava
rre, daughter of the queen regnant Joan II of Navarre, on January 11, 135
0. They had one daughter: Jeanne (1351–1371).
Philip VI died at Nogent-le-Roi, Eure-et-Loir on August 22, 1350 and is in
terred with his second wife, Blanche de Navarre (1330–1398) in Saint Den
is Basilica. He was succeeded by his first son by Jeanne of Burgundy, w
ho became John II.
Philip's reign was punctuated with crises. It began with military succe
ss in Flanders at the Battle of Cassel (August 1328), where Philip's forc
es reseated Louis I of Flanders, who had been unseated by a popular revolu
tion. The able Jeanne gave the first of many demonstrations of her compete
nce as regent in his absence.
Philip initially enjoyed relatively amicable relations with Edward III, a
nd they planned a crusade together in 1332, which was never executed. Howe
ver, the status of the Duchy of Aquitaine remained a sore point, and tensi
on increased. Philip provided refuge for David II of Scotland in 1334 a
nd declared himself

REFN: 12063AN
Philip III the Bold (French: Philippe III le Hardi) (30 April 1245 – 5 Oct
ober 1285) reigned as King of France from 1270 to 1285. A member of the Ca
petian dynasty, he was born in Poissy, the son of Louis IX of France a
nd of Marguerite of Provence.
He accompanied his father on the Eighth Crusade to Tunisia in 1270. His fa
ther died at Tunis and there Philip was declared king at the age of 25. Ph
ilip was indecisive, soft in nature, timid, and apparently crushed by t
he strong personalities of his parents and dominated by his father's polic
ies. He was called "the Bold" on the basis of his abilities in combat a
nd on horseback and not his character. He was pious, but not cultivate
d. He followed the dictates of others, first of Pierre de la Broce and th
en of his uncle Charles I of Sicily.
After his succession, he quickly set his uncle on negotiations with the em
ir to conclude the crusade, while he himself returned to France. A ten-ye
ar truce was concluded and Philip was crowned in France on 12 August 127
1. On 21 August, his uncle, Alfonso, Count of Poitou, Toulouse, and Auverg
ne, died returning from the crusade in Italy. Philip inherited his counti
es and united them to the royal demesne. The portion of the Auvergne whi
ch he inherited became the "Terre royale d'Auvergne," later the Duchy of A
uvergne. In accordance with Alfonso's wishes, the Comtat Venaissin was gra
nted to the Pope Gregory X in 1274. Several years of negotiations yield
ed the Treaty of Amiens with Edward I of England in 1279. Thereby Philip r
estored to the English the Agenais which had fallen to him with the dea
th of Alfonso. In 1284, Philip also inherited the counties of Perche and A
lençon from his brother Pierre.
Philip all the while supported his uncle's policy in Italy. When, after t
he Sicilian Vespers of 1282, Peter III of Aragon invaded and took the isla
nd of Sicily, the pope, Martin IV, excommunicated the conqueror and declar
ed his kingdom (put under the suzerainty of the pope by Peter II in 120
5) forfeit. He granted Aragon to Charles, Count of Valois, Philip's son. P
hilip intervened in the Navarrese succession after the death of Hen
ry I of Navarre and married his son, Philip the Fair, to the heiress of Na
varre, Joan I.
In 1284, Philip and his sons entered Roussillon at the head of a large arm
y. This war, called the Aragonese Crusade from its papal sanction, has be
en labelled "perhaps the most unjust, unnecessary and calamitous enterpri
se ever undertaken by the Capetian monarchy."[1] On 26 June 1285, Philip t
he Bold entrenched himself before Gerona in an attempt to besiege it. T
he resistance was strong, but the city was taken on 7 September. Philip so
on experienced a reversal, however, as the French camp was hit ha
rd by an epidemic of dysentery. Philip himself was afflicted. The French r
etreated and were handily defeated at the Battle of the Col de Panissar
s. The king of France himself died at Perpignan, the capital of his ally J
ames II of Majorca, and was buried in Narbonne. He currently lies buried w
ith his wife Isabella of Aragon in Saint Denis Basilica in Paris.
In the Divine Comedy, Dante sees Philip's spirit outside the gates of Purg
atory with a number of other contemporary European rulers. Dante does n
ot name Philip directly, but refers to him as "the small-nosed" and "the f
ather of the Pest of France."
Marriage and children
On 28 May 1262, Philip married Isabella of Aragon, daughter of Jam
es I of Aragon and his second wife Yolande of Hungary, daughter of Andr
ew II of Hungary, and had the following children:
Louis (1266 – May 1276)
Philip IV (1268 – November 29, 1314), successor as king
Charles (March 12, 1270 – December 16, 1325), Count of Valois
After Isabella's death, he married on 21 August 1274, Marie de Brabant, da
ughter of Henry III of Brabant and Adelaide of Burgundy. Their children we

For the eldest son of Andronikos I Komnenos and father of Alexios I of Tre
bizond, see Manuel Komnenos (born 1145).
Manuel I Komnenos, or Comnenus (Greek: ?a????? ?' ??µ?????, Manouel I Komn
enos, November 28, 1118 – September 24, 1180) was a Byzantine Emperor of t
he 12th century who reigned over a crucial turning point in the histo
ry of Byzantium and the Mediterranean. Eager to restore his empire to i
ts past glories as the superpower of the Mediterranean world, Manuel pursu
ed an energetic and ambitious foreign policy. In the process he made allia
nces with the Pope and the resurgent west, invaded Italy, successfully han
dled the passage of the dangerous Second Crusade through his empire, and e
stablished a Byzantine protectorate over the Crusader kingdoms of Outreme
r. Facing Muslim advances in the Holy Land, he made common cause with t
he Kingdom of Jerusalem and participated in a combined invasion of Fatim
id Egypt. Manuel reshaped the political maps of the Balkans and the east M
editerranean, placing the kingdoms of Hungary and Outremer under Byzanti
ne hegemony and campaigning aggressively against his neighbours both in t
he west and in the east. However, towards the end of his reign Manuel's ac
hievements in the east were compromised by a serious defeat at Myriokephal
on, which in large part resulted from his arrogance in attacking a well-de
fended Seljuk position.
Called Megas (Greek: o ???a? translated as "the Great") by the Greeks, Man
uel is known to have inspired intense loyalty in those who served hi
m. He also appears as the hero of a history written by his secretary, Jo
hn Kinnamos, in which every virtue is attributed to him. Manuel, who was i
nfluenced by his contact with western Crusaders, enjoyed the reputati
on of "the most blessed emperor of Constantinople" in parts of the Latin w
orld as well.[1] Modern historians, however, have been less enthusiastic a
bout him. Some of them assert that the great power he wielded was not h
is own personal achievement, but that of the dynasty he represented; th
ey also argue Byzantine imperial power declined so rapidly after Manuel
's death that it is only natural to look for the causes of this decli
ne in his reign.[2]
Accession to the throne
Manuel Komnenos was the fourth son of John II Komnenos and Piroska of Hung
ary, so it seemed very unlikely that he would succeed his father.[3] His m
aternal grandfather was St. Ladislaus. Having distinguished himself in h
is father's war against the Seljuk Turks, in 1143 Manuel was chosen as h
is successor by John, in preference to his elder surviving brother Isaa
c. After John died on 8 April 1143, his son, Manuel, was acclaimed emper
or by the armies.[4] Yet his succession was by no means assured: At his fa
ther's deathbed in the wilds of Cilicia far from Constantinople, he recogn
ised that it was vital he should return to the capital as soon as possibl
e. He still had to take care of his father's funeral, and tradition demand
ed he organise the foundation of a monastery on the spot where his fath
er died. Swiftly, he dispatched his secretary John Axouch ahead of him, wi
th orders to arrest his most dangerous potential rival, his brother Isaa
c, who was living in the Great Palace with instant access to the imperi
al treasure and regalia. Axouch arrived in the capital even before ne
ws of the emperor's death had reached it. He quickly secured the loyal
ty of the city, and when Manuel entered the capital in August 1143, he w
as crowned by the new Patriarch, Michael Kourkouas. A few days later, wi
th nothing more to fear as his position as emperor was now secure, Manu
el ordered the release of Isaac.[5]
The empire that Manuel inherited from his father had undergone great chang
es since its foundation by Constantine, eight centuries before. The most o

Of the Golden Horde.
The Golden Horde is best known as that part of the Mongol Empire establish
ed in Russia. Originally, however, it consisted of the lands Genghis Kh
an (1165-1227) bequeathed to his son Jochi (1184-1225): the territories we
st of the Irtysh River (modern Kazakhstan) and Khwarazm (consisting of par
ts of modern Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan). Jochi, however, did not have t
he opportunity to expand his realm as he died in 1225, two years pri
or to his father's death.
During the reign of the successor of Genghis Khan, Ogodei Khan (d.1240/41
), the Jochid Ulus or realm greatly expanded in size. In 1237, Jochi's s
on Batu (1227-1255), assisted by the famous Mongol general Subedei, l
ed a large army westward. In route they destroyed the Bulgar khanate on t
he Volga River, pacified the numerous Turkic tribes of the steppes, and co
nquered the Russian cities. Then in 1240, Mongol armies invaded Hungary a
nd Poland, winning victories over the knights of Europe at Mohi in Hunga
ry and Liegnitz in Poland. As news spread of the ferocity of the Mongol
s, Europe trembled in anticipation of an attack that never came. In 1241 O
godei Khan died, which forced the Mongol armies to withdraw to Russia in o
rder to elect a new khan.

REFN: 12149AN
He was Prince Vlad III Dracula, also known as Vlad Tepes, meaning "Vlad t
he Impaler." The Turks called him Kaziglu Bey, or "the Impaler Prince
." He was the prince of Walachia, but, as legend suggests, he was bo
rn in Transylvania, which at that time was ruled by Hungary.
According to legend, Walachia was founded in 1290 by a Transylvanian nam
ed Radu Negru, or Rudolph the Black. Dracula's grandfather, Prince Mirc
ea the Old, reigned from 1386 to 1418. He fought to keep Walachia independ
ent from the Turks but was forced to pay tribute to them. He and his desce
ndants continued to rule Walachia, but under the suzerainty of the Ottom
an Empire (Turkey).
The throne of Walachia was not necessarily passed from father to son. T
he prince was elected by the country's boyars, or land-owning nobles. Th
is caused fighting among family members, assassinations, and other unpleas
antness. Eventually the royal House of Basarab was split into two factio
ns -- Mircea's descendants, and the descendants of another prince named D
an II. Dan's descendants were called the Danesti.
Mircea had an illegitimate son, Vlad, born around 1390. He grew up in t
he court of King Sigismund of Hungary, first probably as a hostage and lat
er as a page. Sigismund, who became the Holy Roman Emperor in 1410, found
ed a secret fraternal order of knights called the Order of the Dragon to u
phold Catholicism and fight Turkey. Vlad was admitted to the Order, probab
ly in 1431. The boyars of Walachia started to call him Dracul, meaning "dr
agon." Vlad's second son would be known as Dracula, or "son of the dragon
." Dracul also meant "devil." So some of Dracula's enemies called him "s
on of the devil."
Sigismund made Vlad the military governor of Transylvania, a post he he
ld from 1431 to 1435. During that time he lived in the town of Sighisoa
ra or Schassburg. You can still visit the citadel there and even the hou
se where Vlad's son Dracula was born. Today there's a restaurant on the se
cond floor. There's also a mural in the house that may depict Vlad Dracul.
Young Dracula
Dracula was born in November or December of 1431. His given name was Vla
d. He had an older brother, Mircea, and a younger brother, Radu the Handso
me. Their mother may have been a Moldavian princess or a Tranyslvanian nob
le. It is said that she educated Dracula in his early years. Later he w
as trained for knighthood by an old boyar who had fought the Turks.
Dracula's father was not content to remain a mere governor forever. Duri
ng his years in Transyvlania, he gathered supporters for his plan to sei
ze Walachia's throne from its current occupant, a Danesti prince named Ale
xandru I. In late 1436 or early 1437 Vlad Dracul killed Alexandru and beca
me Prince Vlad II.
Vlad was a vassal of Hungary and also had to pay tribute to Hungary's enem
y, Turkey. In 1442 Turkey invaded Transylvania. Vlad tried to stay neutra
l, but Hungary's rulers blamed him and drove him and his family out of Wal
achia. A Hungarian general, Janos Hunyadi (who may have been the illegitim
ate son of Emperor Sigismund) made a Danesti named Basarab II the prin
ce of Walachia.
The following year Vlad regained the throne with the help of the sult
an of Turkey. In 1444 he sent his two younger sons to Turkey to prove h
is loyalty. Dracula was about 13. He spent the next four years in Adrianop
le, Turkey as a hostage.
In 1444 Hungary went to war with Turkey and demanded that Vlad join the cr
usade. As a member of the Order of the Dragon, Vlad was sworn to obey th
is summons. But he didn't want to anger the Turks, so he sent his eldest s
on, Mircea, in his place. The Christian army was demolished at the Batt
le of Varna, and Vlad and Mircea blamed Janos Hunyadi.
In 1447 Vlad and Mircea were murdered. Mircea was killed by the boyars a
nd merchants of the Walachian city Tirgoviste. There are different stori
es about how he died - he

That the noble family of Tregoze is of Norman extraction is highly probabl
e; and that
"LE SIRE DE TREGOZ " was at Hastings in 1066, appears by John Foxe's co
py of Battle Abbey Roll; or rather his "List of noble Normans who settl
ed in England at the Conquest." Leland's copy of the Roll of Battle Abb
ey (which indeed is the best; for that eminent antiquary saw and transcrib
ed the original), confirms John Foxe's, after its rhyming fashion; assuri
ng us that there were there, "Gurney et Greilly, Tregos et Trylly."
The said " Sire de Tregoz " was unquestionably father of William. [The Top
ographer and Genealogist, Volume II, 1853]

REFN: 12803AN
Charles VI the Well-Beloved, later known as the Mad (French: Charl
es VI le Bien-Aimé, later known as le Fol) (December 3, 1368 – October 2
1, 1422) was a King of France (1380 – 1422) and a member of the Valois Dyn
asty.
He was born in Paris, the son of King Charles V and Jeanne de Bourbo
n. At the age of eleven, he was crowned King of France in 1380 in the cath
edral at Reims. He married Isabeau of Bavaria in 1385. Until he took compl
ete charge as king in 1388, France was ruled by his uncle, Philip the Bold
.
Charles VI was known both as Charles the Well Beloved and later as Charl
es the Mad, since, beginning in his mid-twenties, he experienced bou
ts of psychosis. These fits of madness would recur for the rest of his lif
e. Based on his symptoms, doctors believe the king may have suffered fr
om schizophrenia, porphyria or Bipolar disorder.
His first known fit occurred in 1392 when his friend and advisor, Olivi
er de Clisson, was the victim of an attempted murder. Although Clisson sur
vived, Charles was determined to punish the would-be assassin Pierre de Cr
aon who had taken refuge in Brittany. Contemporaries said Charles appear
ed to be in a "fever" to begin the campaign and appeared disconnected in h
is speech. Charles set off with an army on July 1, 1392. The progress of t
he army was slow, nearly driving Charles into a frenzy of impatience.
While travelling through a forest on a hot August morning, a barefoot m
an dressed in rags rushed up to the King's horse and grabbed his bridle. "
Ride no further, noble King!" he yelled. "Turn back! You are betrayed!" T
he king's escorts beat the man back but did not arrest him, and he follow
ed the procession for a half-hour, repeating his cries.
The company emerged from the forest at noon. A page who was drowsy from t
he sun dropped the king's lance, which clanged loudly against a steel helm
et carried by another page. Charles shuddered, drew his sword and yelled "
Forward against the traitors! They wish to deliver me to the enemy!" The k
ing spurred his horse and began swinging his sword at his companions, figh
ting until his chamberlain and a group of soldiers were able to grab him f
rom his mount and lay him on the ground. He laid still and did not reac
t, falling into a coma. The king killed at least one knight in his deliriu
m, and possibly more (the exact numbers differ in the chronicles from t
he time).
Charles' uncle Philip II, Duke of Burgundy (aka Philip the Bold) assumed t
he regency on the spot, dismissing Charles' advisers in the process. Th
is was to be the start of a major feud which would divide the Kings of Fra
nce and the Dukes of Burgundy for the next 85 years.
The king would suffer from periods of mental illness throughout his lif
e. During one attack in 1393, Charles could not remember his name, did n
ot know he was king and fled in terror from his wife. He did not recogni
ze his children, though he knew his brother and councillors and remember
ed the names of people who had died. In later attacks, he roamed his palac
es howling like a wolf, refused to bathe for months on end and suffered fr
om delusions that he was made of glass.
In January 1393, Queen Isabeau de Bavière organised a party to celebrate t
he marriage of one of her ladies-in-waiting. The King and five other lor
ds dressed up as wild men and danced about chained to one another. The Kin
g's brother, Louis of Valois, Duke of Orléans, approached with a lighted t
orch. One of the dancers caught fire and there was panic. The Duches
se de Berry, who recognized Charles, threw her robe over him and saved h
is life. Four of the other men perished. This incident became known as t
he Bal des Ardents (the 'Ball of the Burning Men').
Most accounts seem to agree that Louis' action was an accident; he was mer
ely trying to find his brother. Be that as it may, Louis soon afterwards p
ursued an affair with the Que

Charles was born at Vincennes, Île-de-France, France, the son of King Je
an II and Bonne of Luxembourg. Upon his father's succession to the thro
ne in 1350, Charles became Dauphin. He was the first French heir to use t
he title, after the region of Dauphiné was acquired by his father.
The future king was highly intelligent but physically weak, with pale sk
in and a thin, ill-proportioned body. He made a sharp contrast to his fath
er -- who was tall, strong and sandy-haired -- and gossip at the time sugg
ested he was not Jean's son. Similar rumors would pursue Charles' grandso
n, Charles VII.
King Jean was a brave warrior but a poor ruler who alienated his nobles th
rough arbitrary justice and the elevation of associates considered unworth
y. After a three-year break, the war resumed in 1355, with Edward, The Bla
ck Prince, leading an English-Gascon army in a violent raid across southwe
stern France. After checking an English incursion into Normandy, Jean l
ed an army of about 16,000 south, crossing the Loire in September, 1356, a
ttempting to outflank the Prince's 8,000 soldiers at Poitiers. Rejecting a
dvice from one captain to surround and starve the Prince -- a tactic Edwa
rd feared -- Jean ordered a charge up a slope where the enemy forces we
re entrenched. In the subsequent Battle of Maupertuis (Poitiers), Engli
sh archery all but annihilated the French cavalry, and Jean was capture
d. Charles led a battalion at Poitiers which withdrew early in the struggl
e; whether the order came from Jean (as he later claimed) or whether Charl
es himself ordered the withdrawal is unclear.
The outcome of the battle left many embittered at the nobility, who popul
ar opinion accused of betraying the King, but Charles and his brothers esc
aped blame, and he was received with honor upon his return to Paris. The D
auphin summoned the Estates-General in October to seek money for the defen
se of the country. But the parliament, furious at what they saw as poor ma
nagement, organized into a body led by Etienne Marcel, the Provost of Merc
hants (a title roughly equivalent to mayor of Paris today). Marcel demand
ed the dismissal of seven royal ministers, their replacement by a Counc
il of 28, made of nobles, clergy and bourgeois, and the release of Charl
es II of Navarre, a leading Norman noble with a claim on the French thro
ne who had been imprisoned by Jean for the murder of his constable. The Da
uphin refused the demands, ordered the Estates-General to dismiss and le
ft Paris.
A contest of wills followed. In an attempt to raise money, Charles tri
ed to devalue to the currency; Marcel ordered strikes, and the Dauphin w
as forced to cancel his plans and recall the Estates in February, 1357. T
he Third Estate presented the Dauphin with a Grand Ordinance, a li
st of 61 articles that would have required the Estates-General to appro
ve all future taxes, assemble at their own volition and elect a Counc
il of 36 -- with 12 members from each Estate -- to advise the king. Charl
es eventually signed the ordinance, but his dismissed councilors took ne
ws of the document to King Jean, imprisoned in Bordeaux. The King renounc
ed the entire ordinance before being taken to England by Prince Edward.
Charles made a royal progress through the country that summer, winning sup
port from the provinces. Marcel, meanwhile, enlisted Charles of Navarre, w
ho claimed his claim to the throne was at least as good as that of King Ed
ward of England's. The Dauphin, re-entering Paris, won the city back.
Marcel, meanwhile, used the murder of a citizen seeking sanctuary to ma
ke an attack close to the Dauphin. Summoning a group of tradesmen, the Pro
vost marched at the head of an army of 3,000, entered the royal palace a
nd had the crowd murder two of the Dauphin's marshals before his eyes. Cha
rles, horrified, momentarily pacified the crowd, but sent his family aw

1319 - 1364 John II Capet De Valois 44 44 Alias:<ALIA> The /Good/
REFN: 12806AN
John II of France (French: Jean II de France; April 16, 1319–April 8, 1364
), was Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, and Duke of Normandy from 1332, Cou
nt of Poitiers from 1344, and Duke of Guyenne from 1345, and King of Fran
ce from 1350 until his death, as well as Duke of Burgundy from 1361 on. Jo
hn was a member of the Valois Dynasty and was the son of Philippe VI and J
eanne of Burgundy. John was nicknamed John the Good (Jean le Bon).
John's coronation as king took place in 1350 in the Notre-Dame de Reim
s. As king, John surrounded himself with poor administrators, preferri
ng to enjoy the good life his wealth as king brought. The men he reli
ed on to administer his kingdom were brutal thieves but eventually King Je
an changed.
In the 1356 Battle of Poitiers against Edward, the Black Prince (son of Ki
ng Edward III of England), Jean suffered a humiliating defeat and was tak
en as captive back to England. While negotiating a peace accord, he w
as at first held in the Savoy Palace, then at a variety of locations, incl
uding Windsor, Hertford, Somerton Castle in Lincolnshire, and Berkhamst
ed Castle in Hertfordshire. A local tradition in St Albans is that he w
as held in a house in that town, at the site of the 15th-century Fle
ur de Lys inn, before he was moved to Hertford. There is a sign on the i
nn to that effect, but apparently no evidence to confirm the tradition [1
]. Eventually, John was taken to the Tower of London.
As a prisoner of the English, John was granted royal privileges, permitt
ed to travel about, and to enjoy a regal lifestyle. At a time when law a
nd order was breaking down in France and the government was having a ha
rd time raising money for the defense of the realm, his account books duri
ng his captivity show that he was purchasing horses, pets and clothes whi
le maintaining an astrologer and a court band.
The 1360 Treaty of Brétigny set his ransom at 3,000,000 crowns. In keepi
ng with the honor between himself and King Edward III, and leaving his s
on Louis of Anjou in English-held Calais as a replacement hostage, John w
as allowed to return to France to raise his ransom funds.
French Monarchy
Capetian Dynasty
While King John tried to raise the money, his son Louis, accorded the sa
me royal dignity, easily escaped from the English. An angry King John surr
endered himself again to the English, claiming an inability to pay the ran
som as the reason. The true motive of John's decision remains murky toda
y, with many pointing to the devastation in France caused by war with Engl
and and the Jacquerie peasant uprising as likely candidates. His councillo
rs and nearly the whole nation was critical of the decision, since they h
ad raised the ransom through painstaking sacrifice. However Jean arriv
ed in England in early 1364, looked upon by ordinary citizens and Engli
sh royalty alike with great admiration. Accordingly, he was held as an hon
ored prisoner in the Savoy Palace but died in London a few months later.
His body was returned to France, where he was interred in the royal chambe
rs at Saint Denis Basilica.
On July 28, 1332, at the age of 13, he was married to Bonne of Bohemia (
d. 1349), daughter of John I (the Blind) of Bohemia. Their children were:
Charles V (January 21, 1338 September 16, 1380)

Charles VII the Victorious, or the Well-Served (French: Charles VII le Vic
torieux, or le Bien-Servi) (February 22, 1403 – July 22, 1461) was ki
ng of France from 1422 to 1461, a member of the Valois Dynasty.
Born in Paris, Charles was the fifth and only surviving son of Charl
es VI of France and Isabeau de Bavière. Four of his elder brothers were da
uphin in their turn but died without issue during the lifetime of their pa
rents: Charles (1386), Charles (1392-1401), Louis, Duke of Guyenne (1397-1
415) and Jean, Duke of Touraine (1398-1417). Charles, being the fifth daup
hin, added to instability of the kingdom, which was under English attac
k. His survival was in doubt (apparently his own parents were not eag
er to protect him nor keep him as heir). There was also considerable dou
bt about his legitimacy, his mother being renowned for her affairs.
As a young man he was taken in by his future mother-in-law Yolande of Arag
on, Queen of the Four Kingdoms, kept away from the royal court, and kept p
rotected. On the death of his father in 1422, the French throne did not pa
ss to Charles but to his infant nephew, King Henry VI of England in accord
ance with his father's Treaty of Troyes signed in 1420. The English rig
ht to the throne of France had been granted as part of the Treaty in an ef
fort to put an end to the raging Hundred Years' War. Under the Treaty, Ki
ng Henry of England ruled Northern France through a regent in Normandy; t
he Dauphin was disinherited and pronounced a bastard by Queen Isabeau. Cha
rles and his advisors, who did not accept the treaty, set up court in a fo
rtified castle at Chinon.
Without any organized French army, the English strengthened their grip ov
er France until March 8, 1429 when Joan of Arc, claiming divine inspiratio
n, urged Charles to declare himself king and raise an army to liberate Fra
nce from the English.
One of the important factors that aided in the ultimate success of Charl
es VII was the support from the powerful and wealthy family of his wife Ma
rie d'Anjou (1404-1463), particularly the mother-in-law the Queen Yolan
de of Aragon. Despite whatever affection he had for his wife, the great lo
ve of Charles VII's life was his mistress, Agnès Sorel.
After the French won the Battle of Patay, Charles was crowned King Charl
es VII of France on July 17, 1429, in Reims Cathedral. Over the followi
ng two decades, King Charles VII recaptured Paris from the English and eve
ntually recovered all of France with the exception of the northern po
rt of Calais.
While Charles VII's legacy is far overshadowed by the deeds and eventual m
artyrdom of Joan of Arc, he did something his predecessors had fail
ed to do by uniting most of the country under one French king and, starti
ng with the general parliament at Orleans in 1439, creating for the fir
st time a standing army, which would yield the powerful gendarme cavalry c
ompanies notable in the wars of the sixteenth century. He established t
he University of Poitiers in 1432 and his policies brought some economic p
rosperity to the citizens. Although his leadership was sometimes mark
ed by indecisiveness, hardly any other leader left a nation so much bett
er improved than when he came on the scene.
King Charles VII died on July 22, 1461 at Mehun-sur-Yèvre, but his latt
er years were marked by an open revolt by his son who succeeded him as Lou
is XI.
Children of Charles VII include:
Louis XI, King of France (1423-1483)
John of France (1424-1425)
Radegonde de France (1428-1444)
Catherine (1428-1446), married Charles de Charolais, future Charles le Tém

Yolande de France (1434-1478), married the future Amadeus IX, Duke of Sav

Harold II, also called HAROLD GODWINESON or GODWINSON (b. c 1020 - d. 14 O
ct 1066, near Hastings, Sussex, England), last Anglo-Saxon king of Englan
d. A strong ruler and a skilled general, he held the crown for nine mont
hs in 1066 before he was killed at the Battle of Hastings by Norman invade
rs under William the Conqueror.
Harold's father, Godwine, Earl of Wessex and Kent, was the most powerful m
an in the kingdom early in the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066
). About 1044 Godwine, obtained for Harold the earldom of East Angli
a. In 1051 Edward banished Godwine and his sons for defying royal authorit
y, but Harold led the forces that in 1052 invaded England and forced the k
ing to restore the family.
Upon Godwine's death in 1053, Harold succeeded to his father's earldoms a
nd became the chief power in the land. By 1057 he had obtained earldoms f
or his three brothers, Tostig, Gyrth, and Lefowine. His only rival was t
he house of Leofric of Mercia. Leofric's outlawed son, Aelfgar, raided Mer
cia with help from the Welsh, and in retaliation Harold and Tostig subjuga
ted Wales in 1063. In 1065 the Northumbrians revolted against Tostig, the
ir earl. Bowing to rebel demands against Tostig, Harold gave Tostig's earl
dom to Morcar of the house of Mercia, but by doing so he made Tostig his b
itterest enemy. Nevertheless, Harold's postiion remained unshaken.
On his deathbed Edward the Confessor had supposedly designated Harold t
he royal heir. Earlier, Edward had, however, promised the crown to Willia
m, Duke of Normandy. Moreover, Harold himself, when shipwrecked on the coa
st of Normandy, had been forced to promise to support William's claim. Hen
ce, when Harold assumed power on the death of Edward (5 Jan 1066), he w
as immediately threatened with the rivalry of William and another royal cl
aimant, Haral III Hardraade, king of Norway, as well as with the enmi
ty of Tostig. In May, Harold mobilized his fleet and army against an expec
ted invasion by William. Instead, he had to use his forces to repel Tostig
's raids on the south and east coasts of England. He dismissed his m
en in early September because he had run short of supplies. Thus, Willi
am was free to cross the English Channel unopposed. Tostig and Harald I
II Hardraade joined forces and were defeated near York, on 25 Sep 1066. Th
ree days later William landed near Hastings on October 14, and in an all-d
ay battle the king, Gyrth, and Leofwine were killed. The accession of Will
iam to the English throne as King William I ended the Anglo-Saxon pha
se of English history.

BARONY OF MORTIMER OF WIGMORE
I. 1. EDMUND DE MORTIMER, 2nd but 1st surviving son and heir, aged 30 a
nd more in 1282, and 40 and more in 1301. As second son he had been br
ed to the Church, and in November 1263 Henry III promised him a benefic
e. In 1271 Philip de Croft was his "guardian and master.~ On 8 August 128
2, while his father was still living, he received the custody of the cast
le and hundred of Oswestry, during the minority of the heir of John FitzAl
an. He had livery of his inheritance 24 November 1282. Within three wee
ks Llewelyn was killed at Builth in a chance encounter. Edmund was summon
ed to perform military service in person against the Welsh in 1283, the mu
ster being at Montgomery on 2 May, and to the meeting at Shrewsbury 30 Sep
tember following. In 1286 he was named in a commission of inquiry touchi
ng weirs in the Severn, when he had leisure to attend. In June 1287 he w
as a commissioner of array in Salop and Staffs; in July was order
ed to be intendant on the Earl of Gloucester, captain of the expedition in
to Brecknock; in November was ordered to reside in his lordship till the r
ebellion of Rhys ap Meredith should be put down; and on 5 December was ma
de joint keeper of Ystrad-Towy and Cardigan during pleasure. In Lent 12
91 he was summoned to attend (and did attend) the trial of the charges bro
ught by the Earl of Hereford against the Earl of Gloucester at Brecknoc
k. He attested deeds at Westminster on 16 May 1291. In 1292 he obtain
ed a charter for a market and fair at Llanyre, co. Radnor. On 8 June 12
94 he was among those summoned to attend the King upon the decisi
on as to war with France, and on 14 June was exempted from summons for ser
vice in Gascony. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 2 Ju
ne 1302, by writs directed Edmundo de Mortuo Mari, whereby he is held to h
ave become LORD MORTIMER. On the outbreak of war he was commissioner in h
is own lands in the March to seize the property of the alien religiou
s. He was present at the installation banquet of Simon, prior of Worceste
r, on 23 September 1296. On 1 July 1297 the King confirmed charters of lib
erties granted by Edmund de Mortimer to his men of Maelienydd. On 7 Ju
ly he was summoned for service beyond seas, and for military service again
st the Scots later in the same year. On 8 September 1297 he was summon
ed to a military council at Rochester, and to a Council in London on the 3
0th of that month, both to be held by Prince Edward. As Dominus de Wiggemo
re he joined in the Barons' letter to the Pope on 12 February 1300/1. In M
ay 1301 he had livery of his mother's lands. He married, 1stly, circa 128
5, Margaret, da. of Sir William DE FENLES (or DE FIENES), 2nd cousin of El
eanor of Castile, Queen of Edward I, by Blanche DE BRIENNE. He died 17 Ju
ly 1304, and was buried at Wigmore. Dower was assigned to his widow 25 Sep
tember 1304. The castle of Radnor was restored to her, as her dower, aft
er seizure upon her son's forfeiture; but her presence in those parts w
as too great an encouragement to the contrariants to be suffered, and s
he was therefore lodged in various places (in Hants, in Skipton-in-Crav
en and Pontefract Castles, and in Elstowe nunnery) by order of the King. H
er lands, which had been seized by the King in 1322, were restored in 132
8. In 1330 a papal indult was issued for her. She died 7 February 1333/

Sir ROBERT DE ROS, son and heir, of Belvoir, in August 1258 was a chief co
mmissioner in co. Hereford. In that year, as Robert de Ros of Belvoir a
nd later he was summoned for service in Scotland, and against the Welsh; a
lso, in March 1260 and October 1261, to London, with all his service du
e, and, in October 1263, to Windsor, with the horses and arms which he bro
ught to London, to treat of matters touching the realm. In 1261 the Sheri
ff of Lincs was notified that Robert de Ros of Belvoir was pardoned for to
urneying at Pontefract, against the King's order. He sided with Simon de M
ontfort in March 1263/4; and was holding Northampton, under the younger Si
mon, when the King took it in April. On 24 December he was summoned as Rob
ert de Ros to (de Montfort's) Parliament in London. On 18 May 1265 Prin
ce Edward escaped from his custody at Hereford. Robert surrendered Glouces
ter Castle to the Prince, 29 June. On 14 August, 10 days after the batt
le of Evesham, at the Prince's instance, Robert received a full pardo
n. He was a commissioner in the North, September 1268, for the Aid grant
ed to the King, and was pardoned £200 of the relief due from him as he
ir to his father. In November 1276 he was one of the magnates, who, in Cou
ncil at Westminster, gave judgement against Llewelyn, and was summoned f
or the consequent campaign. He had protection in April 1277, on going to t
he shrine of St. Edmund at Pontigny. He was summoned, 28 June 1283, to t
he Assembly at Shrewsbury, as was (presumably his son) William de Ro
s. He married, between 5 June 1243 and 17 May 1244, Isabel, daughter and h
eir of William D'AUBIGNY, lord of Belvoir. He died 17 May 1285, and was bu
ried at Kirkham. She died 15 June 1301, and was buried at Newstead, near S
tamford. [CP 11:95-6],

SIR WILLIAM DE ROS, son and heir, did homage for his inheritance; he was i
ncluded with his father in the special Bull of excommunication, January 12
15/6, and remained an active partisan of Prince Louis till the final batt
le of Lincoln, 19 May 1217, in which he was captured; he paid 20 mar
ks to be delivered from prison, and was handed over to his father in Octob
er 1217. In May 1224 he was sent to Poitou in the King's service, and in A
ugust took part in the siege of Bedford Castle. He witnessed the promulgat
ion of the Forest charter, February 1224/5, and accompanied Henry in his e
xpedition to France, 1230. In January 1235/6 he attested the confirmati
on of Magna Carta at Westminster, and in 1237 was of the escort of the Ki
ng of Scots, to his meeting with Henry at York, attesting the agreement be
tween the two Kings. In 1242-43 his lands were seized for his failure to a
ttend, with his peers, the muster at Rhuddlan, August 1241, and the King
's expedition to France, May 1242. In 1244 he witnessed King Alexander's l
etter to the Pope. He went on pilgrimage to Santiago in 1252; was summone

ar, and was reputed to be loyal. He married Lucy. He died, probably in 126
4, and was bur. at Kirkham. His widow was living in Michaelmas term, 126

Guillaume De Briouze is recorded in lists of those present at the Batt
le of Hastings. He became the first Lord of Bramber Rape by 1073 and bui
lt Bramber Castle.  William made considerable grants to the abbey of Sai
nt Florent, Saumur to endow the foundation of Sele Priory near Bramber a
nd a priory at Briouze. He continued to fight alongside King William in t
he campaigns in Britain, Normandy and Maine .
The latest evidence for William is his presence at the consecration of h
is church at Briouze in 1093. In 1096 his son Philip was isuing charter
s. From this we can deduce that William died between 1093 and 1096.
Father: Uncertain.
Mother: Gunnor (See Round, Cal. Doc. Fra. p148)
Brydges edition of Collins' Peerage claims he was first married to Agne
s, dau of Waldron De Saint Clare but no evidence for this can be foun
d. It may be an example of Bruce - Braose confusion. According to L C Perf
ect, a 13th century genealogy in the Bibliothèque de Paris gives the na
me of his wife as Eve De Boissey, widow of Anchetil de Harcourt. The
re is a lot of evidence from contemporary charters which supports this vie
w.
William De Braose is not the son of Robert De Brus, the Bruce and Braose f
amilies have historically been confused.

WALTER FITZOTHER, of Windsor, a Domesday tenant of lands in Berks, Buck
s, Middlesex, Hants and Surrey, held a barony owing 15 or 20 knights' fe
es to the castle guard of Windsor, where he was Keeper of the Great Fore
st and castellan of the castle. He m. Beatrice. He was living in or aft
er 1100. [CP 10:10]
----
Sanders writes in his English Baronies in 1960 referring to Domesda
y, i, p. 130:
"Walter and his heirs were keepers of the forest of Windsor and constabl
es of Windsor castle. There is no evidence to identify the caput of the ba
rony but it is possible that it was at Eton which Walter held. Furthermor
e, as Walter was castellan of Windsor he would naturally have his priva
te dwelling near." He further writes that "Walter was living temp Faratiu
s, abbot of Abington 1100-16. A royal writ was sent to William fitz Walt
er not later than 1116. (Chron. Mon. de Abingdon, ii, pp. 94, 132)."
Tom Magness writes:
Walter fitz Other was the first recorded castellan of Windsor Castle. He w
as also the keeper of the royal forest of Windsor
Walter did not marry Gladys, daughter of Rywallon ap Conwyn, Prince of Nor
th Wales as asserted by Berry in his Surrey Pedigrees.  Walter married Bea
trice (see Round's Origins of Carew).
At the time of the Survey in 1086, Walter held a compact group of mano
rs as tenant-in-chief in the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hamps
hire, Co Middlesex, and Surrey.   He also held Winchfield in Hampshire fr
om Chertsey Abbey and a royal manor and some woodlands at Windsor.
Living in 1100, he died before 1116, have had the following children:
1. William, the eldest son, from whom the Lords Windsor and Earls of P
lymouth descend.
2. Robert, lord of Little Easton, Co Essex (not Bucks as Sir Thomas Ph
illipps says), a barony of 10 knights fees.  He supposedly married the dau
ghter of Walter the Deacon who held Estaines at the time of the Survey.
He was succeeded by his only son, William fitz Robert, who receiv
ed confirmation of his land from Henry II.
3.  Maurice, dapifer of St. Edmund's.  Under Henry I, he held lan
ds in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Dorsetshire, Co Essex, Co Middlesex, Northa
mptonshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk in 1130.  Confirmed in his land and offi
ce by Stephen, he died after 1136 and was succeeded by his nephew Ral
ph de Hastings as his heir in land and office.

an of Pembroke Castle for

gh was the son of William fitz Walter, grandson of Walter fitz Other.
also
Other was NOT Constable of Windsor as Windsor was a royal forest until 10
66 when William I. started construction of Windsor Castle. Walter is the r
ecorded keeper of Windsor forest, not Other. Other was temp. Edward Confes
sor which would be circa 1044 AD.
Did not know about the Mona Lisa. Will start looking for something on tha
t, too. Will let you know if I find anything at all. Please do likewise. D
oubt very much that there is anything to it, though, as the Geraldines a
re a cadet line of the Windsors and the family name, if you can call it th
at, came after Gerald of Windsor, not before, i.e., Gerald was not a patro
nym otherwise Walter fitz Other's first born would have in all probabili
ty been named Gerald not William. Gerald is not a name found in the "prim
o" descendents of Walter fitz Other, but then again neither is Other. S

First castellan of the Tower of London according to Stowe

Stowe's A Survey of London, Volume I., p.45:
"Othowerus, Acolinillus, Otto, Geffrey Magnauille, Earle of Essex, wer fou
re the first Constalbes of this tower (of London), by succession."
Was this Other? Is this Othowerus Latin for Other/Othoere?
Tom Magness contributed the following discussion...
FICTION
C. P. Meehan, The Rise, Increase and Exit of the Geraldines, Earls of Desm
ond, and the persecution after their fall, translated from the Latin of Do
minic O'Daly, O.P., with memoir and notes, 3rd edition, (Dublin, James Duf
fy, 1878).
. . . which begins as follows:
The FitzGeralds, or Geraldines, are descended from 'Dominus Otho,' or 'Oth
er,' who, in 16 Edward the Confessor (1056/57), was an honorary baron of E
ngland.  He is said to have been one of the family of Gherardini of Floren
ce, and to have passed into Normandy, and thence into England.  He w
as so powerful at that period that it is probable that he was one of the f
oreigners who came to England with King Edward, and whom he favoured so mu
ch as to excite the jealousy of the native nobles.  It is also remarkab
le that Otho's son, Walter, was treated as a fellow countryman by the Norm
ans after the Conquest.  The Latin form of the name of his descendants, 'G
eraldini,' being the same as that of Gherardini, also indicates that he w
as of that family.
NON-FICTION
J. Horace Round, the noted historian, disparages this story in his articl
es on the FitzGeralds in The Ancestor and in his Peerage Studies:
I cannot undertake to say at what period or how the story of Other comi
ng to England under Edward the Confessor arose; nor can I explain how 'Oth
o' replaced the well authenticated 'Other,' probably to give the name a mo
re Italian appearance.  But as to the Latin form 'Geraldini,' I can sta
te that the name given by Giraldus Cambrensis to his own family was, on t
he contrary, 'Giraldidae.'
"In The Earls of Kildare we read that 'In 1078 Walter fitz Otho is mention
ed in Domesday Book as being in possession of his father's estates.' To th
is statement, which is obstinately repeated in the pages of Burke's Peerag
e, I reply, as in Peerage Studies (p. 69), that the date of Domesday Bo
ok was 1086, not 1078; that Walter was the son of Other, not Otho; and, th
at Domesday does not state that his lands had been held by his father, bu
t, on the contrary, proves them to have belonged to forfeited Englishmen
." (Round, FitzGeralds, ii., p.121-22) "Thus, the 'Otho' story is sho
wn to be absolute fiction." (Round, Peerage Studies, p. 69)

Tom Magness writes:
If Round said it, you can almost certainly take it to the bank.  As an his
torian and genealogist, his work is virtually beyond reproach.
And, here's what Collins had to say about Other . . .
"Othoere is mentioned, in the appendix (vide p. 205) to The Life of King A
lfred, to be living in his reign, a rich and powerful Lord, and to deri
ve his descent from ancestors in the kingdom of Norway. It also appears, t
hat Other, as wrote in the Doomsday Book (Ex lib. vocat. Doomsday), was li
ving in England in the reign of King Edward the Confessor; and in the pedi
grees is made to be the son of Othoere." (Collins, Peerage, vol. 4, Windso

Othoere of Haolgalander, frequent guest of Alfred, King of Wessex (871-99
), who was "among the foremost men in his land; even so he had not more th
an twenty head of cattle and twenty sheep and twenty pigs, and the litt
le that he ploughed he ploughed with horses. His principal wealth was deri
ved partly from fishing for walrus and whale but was chiefly derived fr
om tribute in skins and furs levied from the Lapps who lived further nort

Othoere of Haolgalander, frequent guest of Alfred, King of Wessex (871-99
), who was "among the foremost men in his land; even so he had not more th
an twenty head of cattle and twenty sheep and twenty pigs, and the litt
le that he ploughed he ploughed with horses. His principal wealth was deri
ved partly from fishing for walrus and whale but was chiefly derived fr
om tribute in skins and furs levied from the Lapps who lived further nort
h, and it was in order to dispose of these goods that he traveled to Engla
nd."
There is mention on page 19 of the Brut Y Tywysogion:  Chronicle of the Pr
inces (edited by Rev. John Williams ab Ithel) for the year 910 . . .
Nine hundred and ten was the year of Christ, when Other came to the isla
nd of Britain.
A thorough reading of the Doomsday Book reveals the only mention of Oth
er is as father of Walter the tenent-in-chief of lands in Berks, Bucks, Ha
mpshire, Middlesex and Surrey.  Collins assumes that Other was a contempor
ary of Edward the Confessor because he found a pedigree that made Other t
he son of Othoere.  What pedigree that is Collins fails to note.
To my way of thinking the threads that tie Other to Othoere are just too w
eak to be accepted.
Then there is Round.  No doubt Round was aware of the Collins article (181
2) but did not give it any credence in his work on the origins of Carew (1
903) which is the best reason not to include it in the data base.
. . . and, perhaps our ancestors concocted the 'Geraldini' relationship be
cause they were embarrassed about being descended from one of the "foremo
st farmers of the Anglo-Saxon
era."

"The first Other on record, so far as can be discovered, is the great Nor
se Viking 'Othere, the old sea captain, who dwelt in Helgoland,' commemora
ted as the discoverer of the North Cape in the appendix to King Alfred's t
ranslation of Orosius, so finely versified by Longfellow:
His figure was tall and stately,
Like a boy's his eye appeared;
His hair was yellow as hay,
But threads of a silvery gray
