BESS, William M. - (d. 1935)

20 September, 2013 by Taneya Leave a comment
Too 'Frail' for Confederate Ranks, Non-Combatant, Nearly 101, Dies

William M. Bess, rejected as too frail to serve in the Confederate Army in 1861, died Saturday morning just twenty days short of his 101st birthday. He remained in vigor and health until the last and was ill but six days.

He had lived for the last thirty-five years at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C.M. Lorhum, near Joelton.

Funeral services were conducted for him this afternoon at the Oakland Freewill Baptist Church by the Rev. J.L. Welch. Burial was in the Oakland Cemetery.

Mr. Bess's vigor was as remarkable as his very great age and until his final illness, he was able to walk about - enjoying a daily three-quarter mile constitutional - and could read without glasses. Until three years ago, he "walked down to Nashville" - some twelve miles distant- whenever he "took a notion. Mr. Bess never claimed to have a formula for his health and longevity, but pointed out that he never used tobacco, drank little liquor and had eaten no meat during the latter years of his life.

When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Bess volunteered, seeking enlistment in the Confederate Army, but he was turned down because whooping cough and measles had settled in his lungs and he was deemed too frail. He was born in Warren County near the McMinnville and Smithville highways. He lived on a farm in that community during his youth and spent most of his life engaged in farming in Warren County.

Surviving him are: his daughter, Mrs. Lohrum; a son, Luster Bess; and a half brother, Henry Bess of Nashville.

His grandsons, William, Henry, Edgar, Almar and Edward Bess, and Polk Merryman, served as pallbearers.

[Kevin Bandy 1999]

Ammie Watson died at John and Ella Bess's home in McMinnville. Both, Ammie and Jimmy Hale, had become feeble. Ella Bess took Ammie to live in McMinnville with her family. My grandmother's mother, Lovie Hale Barrett, took Jimmy into her home here. Jimmy Hale smothered. He died in 1917 while WWI was going on. My great grandfather was fighting overseas in France when he died.

My great grandmother, Lovie, wrote to my great grandfather, George Barrett, telling him that "Pa" had died. However, the army wouldn't let bad news go through to the soldiers, and my great grandfather didn't learn of his father-in-law's passing until he returned home. My grandmother said that her older sister, Emma Jean Barrett Hayes, was just a baby and played on the bed with Jimmy Hale. He was unable to get around then. As he was dying, my great grandmother, Lovie, would ask if she could do anything for him. He could only manage to say "oh, breath".

Ammie Watson lived some 8 or 10 years after Jimmy Hale passed. She lived all those years with the Bess family in McMinnville. My grandmother was born in 1923 and she said that she was old enough that she can remember when the Bess family came to tell her mother that Ammie Watson had died. My grandmother said that all of her family had the flu including Lovie. And none of the family got to attend the funeral or burial. Her mother (Lovie) always regretted not having the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother. But in those days when you had the flu, you stayed at home. The flu was a real killer in those days.

James married Mary Lou Emma "Ammie" Watson on 1 Aug 1875 in Cannon County, Tennessee. Mary was born in 0May 1857 in (Cannon County) Tennessee; died in ~1925 in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

David,

I just found this in my email. Do you have this? Do any of the dates work with what you do have? Thought I'd send it just in case you didn't have it.
Hope you and Sheila are doing well. Are you going to get to come to Tennessee later in the fall? Hope you can.
Love you,
Christine

Subject: more info on Henry Bess

I found an old email from Robert White (RobWhite@dekalb.net ) from 1999. This is what it said:

I don't find a lot to answer your DeKalb Co. inquiry with, hope someone else can help you more. In the 1860 Census, Henry, age 30, and his wife, Elizabeth, age 25 are living in the northwest part of Dekalb Co. in the Helton Creek area, with their two year old son William. They also have living in their household Delia Crook, a 55 year old widow, and her children, Washington, 18, Ellen, 15 and Jermiah, 12. I do not know if they are any relationship.

In 1870, Henry, now shown as age 45 and his wife, Elizabeth, 35, are living in the Dry Creek area (4th district). This area is south of the present towns of Dowelltown and Liberty. It lies in the central western part of the county. Their son William is now 12 years old.

In 1880, Henry now 54, and Elizabeth, now 45, are still on Dry Creek and son, William is 22 year old widower. There is an erasure after his name on the census records (for what I do not know). He has two children, Ellen age 3 and James H. age 1.

Henry is the only Bess listed in these three census. In 1850 there is a Finus Bess, age 21 at Blue Springs in the southern part of the county. There is a Phinies Bess age 21, Henry J. Bess, age 17 and Eliabeth Bess, age 16 and Caroline Bess, age 12 all living with John Bayne (Bain) at Belk in the southern part of the county. There is a William Bess age 31 with wife Mary, age 25 and a daughter Sarah age 11 months living in the northeast part of the county at Sligo on the Caney Fork River. They have living with them, Nancy Willis, age 65. I do not know if she is a relative.

Henry J. Bess is buried in the Dismal Cemetery about 2 miles north of Dowelltown. His tombstone has a birth date of Sept. 22, 1824 but no death date. Buried beside him is Mary E. Bess born Oct. 12, 1829 and died Sept. 27, 1894. These may be for your Henry and Elizabeth. In the same cemetery there is a Martha, wife of Henry Bess, born March 20, 1836, died March 15, 1910. Amazingly, these seem to be the only Bess tombstones in Dekalb Co.

My great grandfather, James Harrison White, was 1st Lieutenant of the (?) F, 4th Tenn. Mtd. Infantry. The U.S. mounted infantry groups that were raised here in Dekalb Co. mostly were raised for the purpose of overcoming the confederate guerilla bands operating in the area (which it did.)

I could kick myself since I did not have this info with MY BOOK I keep info in!!!!

Birth: 1790, USA
Death: 1850

Tennessee, USA

In honor and of the memory of my 5th Great Grandfather William Dunn. William married my 5th Great Grandmother Elizabeth Bradley, on December 11, 1810, Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee. I wish I knew more about him, but maybe in time.

I can find only three children of William and Elizabeth:

William Dunn (1810 - 1880)
Thomas B. Dunn (1811 - 1900)
Mary "Pollie" Dunn (1819-1890), my 4th Great Grandmother, (Find A Grave Memorial# 8867973) who married James "Jim" George.

I found my third Great Uncle, William Henry George (Find A Grave Memorial# 143095248), the son of my 4th Great Grandparents, James and Mary "Pollie" Dunn-George, in the 1890 Veterans census in Trousdale County. He must have moved back before the 1920's when he filled out his questionnaire. That part of Tennessee where he lived started off as part of Sumner County, then part of Smith County, then part of Warren County and finally Dekalb County.

For question #43 & #44 regarding ancestry, William answered:

"{Mother's name} Mary Dunn {Mother's parents} William Dunn; Elizabeth Dunn." William Henry went on to say, "My Grandfather William Dunn was in the War of 1812, Butler County, {Alabama?} and I think he was in some of the Indian engagements."

I have no specific death date or any burial location for William.

This may be with same William Dunn of the War of 1812; Corporal, 13th Regiment of the Kentucky Militia.

William married Elizabeth Bradley on 11 Dec 1810 in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee. Elizabeth was born in 1795 in (Cumberland County) Virginia; died in 1870 in Wilson County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth: 1795
Virginia, USA
Death: 1870
Wilson County
Tennessee, USA

My 5th Great Grandmother Elizabeth Bradley married my 5th Great Grandfather William Dunn on December 11, 1810, in Lebanon, Wilson County, Tennessee.

I have found where some say Elizabeth was born in Cumberland County, Virginia. I am not sure. A number of Bradley's were living in Wilson County, Tennessee, in 1820, but I can't find any before that time. The 1880 DeKalb County, Tennessee, census, for my 4th Great Grandmother, Mary "Pollie" Dunn-George states that her mother was born in Ireland. Elizabeth Bradley Dunn was of course her mother. Just another possibility to consider.

It would appear Elizabeth's son Thomas took it upon himself to look after and support Elizabeth until her death sometime between 1870 and 1880, in Wilson County, Tennessee. She was alive for the July 20, 1870, Wilson County, Tennessee, census, and Thomas was married December 7, 1870, after taking care of her for decades. She probably died in 1870, from the time of the census to Thomas' marriage.

The dates for Jeremiah and Nancy differ from other sources.

Jeremiah Pickett Hale and his wife, Nancy Jane Wade Hale, are buried in the Pikeville Community Cemetery, Pikeville, Bledsoe County, TN

Jeremiah Pickett Hale was son of Francis Hale, and grandson of Thomas Hale and his first wife, Rachel Sheridan. His grandfather married, second, Nancy Wood. Two of the children of that marriage, Peter W. Hale (m. Sarah Manning) and Elizabeth Hale, (m. Samuel Manning), migrated to White County (Sparta) TN in 1837. These two were half-brother and sister to Jeremiah Pickett Hale's father, Francis Hale, but they were near the same age as Jeremiah Pickett Hale. In late 1840's, Jeremiah Pickett Hale and his family migrated to TN, first to Cannon Co.; then to Van Buren Co., then settled in Bledsoe Co. All these counties are adjacent to White County, where his half uncle and aunt and their families lived at the time. (They later, 1851, migrated to Illinois.)

FAMILY TALE ABOUT THE MIGRATION OF THE JEREMIAH PICKETT HALE FAMILY
(As told by his g-granddaughter, Eliza Jane Ewell Anderson)

Jerry Hale walked from Virginia with his family when Aunt Ruth White was small.
Her carried her across the natural bridge. They came to Pikeville [Tenn.].
Creed and Sparrel got mad and left Pikeville and settled at Pea Ridge.

[NOTE: Actually Jeremiah Pickett Hale brought his family to Cannon Co.--they were there on 1850 census. Before the 1860 census, all the family, except Creed and Sparrel, were in Van Buren Co., Creed and Sparrel had married and remained in Cannon Co., By the 1870 census, Jeremiah and his family were in Bledsoe Co., living in Pikeville, where they lived until both he and his wife died. They are buried in the Pikeville cemetery. It is, of course, possible that Creed and Sparrel initially moved from Cannon Co., with the rest of the family, and did actually "get mad" and return to Cannon Co. However, the more likely story is that their wives wanted to remain in Cannon Co., so, of course, they did.

David, In my research I am coming to believe that Thomas Rowe Hale's father was Benjamin Hale and not John Hale married to Mary Underhill. This belief is based on DNA from several descendants of Thomas Rowe Hale. The Haplogroup is different for John Hale than the descendants of Thomas Rowe Hale and Benjamin Hale is showing up in the same Haplogroup. John Hale Descendants are in a different Haplogroup. I have been in communication with several of the DNA contributors on the Hale Project with FTDNA.Com and there is a growing concensus that Thomas Hale's father was Benjamin Hale who was Son of Thomas Hale out of York Pennsylvania in Warrington Township. Have you done any research on the Hale family out of York PA? There has to be a connection to the Hale's of Baltimore but I have not found it yet. What do you know here and what is your opinion.

24 Sep 2011 Thomas Hale is a Patriot...

Thomas Hale (Revolutionary War) was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The seven children of John Haile were born while the family lived in Virginia. Hannah, the oldest, was born about 1748, Robert in 1750, William, who served in Rev. War with Thomas, was born in 1752, and Sometimes around 1759 John Haile moved his family to Rowan County, North Carolina. Thomas and William Hale went to school with Lawrence Thompson, son of Captain John Thompson. At the time of the Rev. War, Lawrence Thompson was a Lieutenant under whom Thomas and William Hale enlisted.

Thomas and William enlisted in Orange County, NC, a neighboring county where John Haile (their father) had later moved, following his second marriage in Feb. 1775.

Thomas Hale was seventeen when he left home to fight in the Rev. War. According to his military service record, he was enlisted in September, 1775 as a private in Orange County, NC by Lawrence Thompson, a Lieutenant in Captain Alfred Moore's Company and 1st Regiment of Provincial Troops. His military service is detailed in the book "The Hale Family of Virginia" by Esther V. Bartlett, which was taken from his own testimony from a court schedule of 22 October, 1823, in Franklin Co., VA. The military service record of Thomas Hale is preserved in the National Archives, Washington, D.C. under Rev. War Pensions, File Number S-37,975, Certificate Number 6857. Thomas's brother, William Hale, also made application for a Rev. War Pension, his file number is S-1522. In an earlier court schedule dated 3 Jul 1821, he testified that he owned a tract of land containing ninety acres more or less valued at ninety-six dollars.

After the Rev. War, Thomas Hale was engaged in farming in Rowan County, NC from 1780 to 1800. He and Rachel were the parents of two sons, William and Francis. They names the sons for Thomas's older brother, William, and for their wealthy uncle, Francis Haile, of Bedford Co., VA.

Thomas's wife, Rachel Sheridan, died in Rowan County, NC, and he married on 6 Nov 1801, Nancy Wood in Rowan Co., NC. Shortly after their marriage, Thomas and Nancy moved to Southwest VA. He selected a tract of land on Runnet Bag Creek in Franklin Co. From a land transaction recorded in Franklin Co., (Rocky Mount) VA, Deed Book No. 4, p. 576, proof is established that Thomas Hale and his two sons, William and Francis, each bought 96 acres of land on Runnet Bag Creek on 10 Mar 1804, from John Via, Jr.. All three deed were witnessed by Dennis Sheridan (probable brother of Rachel Sheridan).

Thomas Hale and his second wife, Nancy Wood, were parents of eight children, five sons and three daughters. They were born on the family farm on Runnet Bag Creek, Franklin Co., VA.
Thomas Hale and his wife, Nancy Wood had five (5) more sons not listed on the family page. Their names are unknown at this time, but his court statement when seeking Rev. War pension tells of these sons.

ROSTER OF SOUTH CAROLINE PATRIOTS IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, Bobby Gilmer Moss p. 400

Hale, Thomas, S37975, b. c. 1759. He first served in North Caroline units. In late 1776, he was a sergeant under Capt. James Conyer and Col. Isaac Huger, and was in two engagements at Savannah. Next, he was under Capt. Thomas Gadsden and Col. Pinckney and was in the siege of Charleston. He was discharged on 12 May 1780. (Moved to Va.) A.A.3228A; Y1052; N.A.246; N.A.853.

This is headed "Death Certificates...Pennsylvania" but is clearly the testimony of our Thomas Hale attempting to get his Revolutationary War pension. His sister Hannah Gillespie testified on his behalf in court in Franklin County VA. He apparently lost his mustering documents and was illiterate so had a very difficult time proving his claim. Fortunately Congressman Claiborne exerted some pressure on the War Department and Thomas Rowe Hale was given his just reward. The hearing was conducted in Rocky Mount, then as now the county seat of Franklin County VA.

I hope this will be of use to you.

Note that at least once, if not twice, was he declared ineligible.

Benjamin Hale is listed on the 1786 Franklin County VA Composite Tax List, Real & Personal indicating that he was living in what was to become Franklin Co before it was created as a county in 1786. The only Hales on this 1786 Tax List of Franklin Co were: Benjamin, Elizabeth, John,Joseph, Pearson and Thomas.

Benjamin Hale, Sr. listed as paying his personal property taxes in Franklin Co VA in the years 1787-88-89-90-92-98 (with two white males over 16 in 1792). The PP tax records identifies John Hale as “Bin's son.” This John Hale son of Benjamin was found on PP tax records in the years 1797-98 only but was surety on Franklin Co marriage bonds as late as 1814 and as a witness to the will of his father-in-lawJohn Utley Wade in 1824 (not sure why I missed him on the PP tax records).

The following is an annotated list of the children of Thomas Hale of Warrington Township York Co PA with the children listed in the order they appeared in Thomas' LWT.

Thomas Hale b c1700 d 1761 Warrington York Co PA
Children in order listed in LWT [WKH: rough estimates of birth dates assuming Thomas' LWT listed the sons and daughters in order of birth and assuming 2 years between births with 1748 marriage of Sara as a base]:

1. John Hale b c1725 [WKH: probably explored Halifax Co VA and entered land there as early as 1755 and had left PA for good by 1768--see Richard Hale's estate administration papers.]

2. Sarah (Hale) Buffenton b c1727 [WKH: Sarah Hale m Thomas Buffington 1748; Source: In the LDS site, there is a listing for a marriage of Sarah Hale and Thomas Buffington accounced at the Kennett Monthly Meeting of Quakers on September 17, 1748. These records are housed at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, and they will do searches if you request. Source: http://genforum.genealogy.com/buffington/messages/1141.html]http://genforum.genealogy.com/buffington/messages/1141.html]

3. Joseph Hale b 1729 [WKH: probably explored Halifax Co VA and entered land there on 17 Feb 1763.]

4. Benjamin Hale b 1731 [WKH: Might this be the Benjamin Hayle found in both the 1769 Tax List and Census of Dobbs Co NC? And who bought and sold land in Edgecombe and ]

5. William Hale b 1733 [WKH: probably explored Halifax Co VA and entered land there in 1762 and had left PA for good by 1768--see Richard Hale's estate administration papers. Might this be the William Hale who on April 3rd 1779 was shot and wounded by Indians near Muncy's on Walker Creek but managed to make his way to the New River residence of a Shannon family who lived near the Big Crossing of New River? Source: Letter from Col William Preston to Capt William Robinson on pages 275 and 276 of Frontier Advance on the Upper Ohio, 1778-1779, Edited By Louise Phelps Kellogg.]

6. Mary (Hale) Prunty b 1735 [WKH: Mary m 19 May 1760 York Co PA in Christ Lutheran Church to Thomas Prunty s/o Brian(?) Prunty; Thomas and Mary appear to have moved to Pigg River in Henry/Franklin Co by 18 May 1778.]

7. Hannah (Hale) b 1737 m --?-- Biggs

8. Ann Hale b1739

9. Richard Hale b 1741 (received 20 acres of his father's property) died prior to June 1767 when his Pittsylvania Co VA estate administration was initiated by his brother William in June 1767; his York Co PA estate was administered by Thomas Prunty 10 May 1768 [WKH: Richard probably explored Halifax/Pittsylvania Co VA and entered land there in 1765 and may have died there shortly before June 1767.]

10. Elizabeth Hale b 1743

11. Thomas Hale b c1745 [WKH: I think this Thomas was b 1742 d 1812 s and is the one who married Jane Armstrong. And after his father died in 1761 that he joined his older brother Benjamin in NC, then the two brothers moved to Pigg River about the same time c1778.Might this be the Thomas Hayle found in both the 1769 Tax List and 1769 Census of Dobbs Co NC? If Thomas was in fact born c1742, then probably not given that the 1769 tax record listed Thomas with a son presumed to be 16 years or older indicating he was born before c1732. The Thomas Hale who married Agnes Price was bornc1755 died 1802 and m 1780 and I think he was the son of one of the older sons of Thomas Hale (d 1761 York Co PA) probably John or William.
However note that some believe that the Thomas Hale who married Jane Armstrong was b 19 Oct 1742 son of Henry Hale b 25 Mar 1721 (m 10 Sep 1721 Mary Bradley) s/o Nicholas & Frances Hale of Baltimore MD.

12. Edward Hale b c1747 [WKH: I think this is the Edward who on 26 Sep 1786 “late of Lunenburg” married Martha Purdew. After his father died in 1761 he may have joined his older brother Benjamin in NC too. If so he would be the Edward Hayle found in both the 1769 Tax List and 1769 Census of Dobbs Co NC.]

I assume that John Utley Wade continued using his father's name because he was not ashamed of his paternity and that his mother was a strong enough woman to label her illeg son the way that she did. The father John Utley III apparently only assumed responsibilty for paternity by court order. I provided Jeff Wade with a lot of info about JUW and his descendants but he may not have included the court citations about his birth.

Do you have any other information about William Joseph Hale? The fact that he named a son "Willis" may be significant. There were two Hale men, both descendants of John Hale of Bent Mountain, who lived in Mercer County, KY and who had wives named Willis.

According to this the original surname may have been Heald and they may have originated in Cheshire [adjacent to Wales]. I will follow this thread and notify you as to my findings.

John Utley JR. fathered an illegetimate child with Angelica Wade...his name was John Utley Wade. He married Alice Woodrum in 1763 in Goochland County, Va. and fathered Bradley Wade; Mary Wade; Anderson Wade; Castleton Wade; Royal Wade; Susannah Wade; John Wade and Dorothea Wade. Sometime later, the family moved to Franklin County, Virginia where John Utley Wade died about 1798. Of his children: Royal married Rachel Jones 24 Feb 1791; Susannah married John Hale 17 March 1789; John married Hannah Jones 30 January 1792; Dorothea married Henry Troupe 16 January 1794. All in Franklin County, Virginia so if Royal Wade went to KY, it had to be after Feb. 1791. I have his birth date as 10 July 1766.

Biography

Sir William Wade AKA Wadd, Waad

Any (supported) information to verify or refute the details presented here is most welcome.

Any unsupported clues or leads also appreciated (but please give the source for all additions). Thanks!

Origin
William was the eldest son of Armagil Wade and his second wife, Alice (Patten) Searle.[1] He was born in 1546[1] at Calais, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France (?)[2]

Both his parents died in 1658, when William succeeded to the family property.[3]

Marriage and Children
Sir William married twice.

He married (Bishop of London's license Jan 15, 1585/6), as his 1st, to Anne Waller (1570/1-1589), daughter of Owen Waller.[1] She died in childbirth, at eighteen years old.[1]
He married, as his 2nd, to Anne Browne, daughter of Sir Humphrey Browne.[1] Note: Stuart C. Wade relates some disagreement as to the name of William's second wife. Walford says she was a daughter of Sir Thomas Wotton and widow of Charles Henry de Kirkhoven. Sir Bernard Burke says her son was Charles Henry de Kirkhoven by John Poliander Kirkhoven (as her second husband), and that she was never married to Sir William Wade.[1]

The University of Cambridge (informally Cambridge University)[note 1] is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209 and granted a Royal Charter by King Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university.[8] The university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the townspeople.[9] The two medieval universities share many common features and are often referred to jointly as "Oxbridge". The history and influence of the University of Cambridge has made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world.[

• Occupation: Lord Chancellor of Ireland

Notes:

Sir Walter Devereux (1411 – 22 April 1459) of Bodenham and Weobley was a loyal supporter of Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York during the Wars of the Roses. He was Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1449 to 1451.

Ancestry and Childhood

Walter Devereux was born in 1411 in Bodenham, Herefordshire to a senior Walter Devereux (or Deverois, 1387–1420) and his wife Elizabeth Bromwich.[1][2]

His maternal grandparents were Thomas Bromwich, Lord Justice of Ireland and Catherine Oldcastle. His paternal grandparents were an elder Walter Devereux (c. 1361–1402) and Agnes Crophull.[a] Agnes was mother of Sir Thomas Parr by a second marriage to John Parr of Kendal; and paternal grandmother of William Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Kendal, a noted courtier under Edward IV of England and grandfather of Queen Catherine Parr. Agnes Crophull's third husband was John Merbury, the father of Walter Devereux's wife by a previous marriage as indicated below.

The Devereux arms were: Argent a fesse gules, in chief three torteaux.

Marriage

Walter Devereux married Elizabeth Merbury in 1427.[2] She was a daughter of Sir John Merbury,[3] Chief Justice of South Wales and his wife Alice Pembridge. They had the following children:

Anne Devereux (c. 1430 - after 1486). Married William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke.[1][2]
Walter Devereux, 7th Baron Ferrers of Chartley (c. 1431 - 22 August 1485).[1][2]
Isabella Devereux (born c. 1435).[2] Married Rowland Lenthall (o.s.p., 1422 to 12 May 1488).[4]
Sir John Devereux (born c. 1438).[1][2][b]

Wars of the Roses and Career

Walter Devereux was 8 years old at the death of his father in 1419. Following his marriage in 1427, he established his first residence at Bodenham, the core of his Devereux family estates. On 8 July 1427 Thomas Barton, Thomas Smith and Thomas Lightfoot, granted John and Agnes Merbury the manors of Bonington, West Leake and Treswell; 3 messuages and 5 virgates of land in Thrumpton in the county of Nottingham; the manors of Hemington and Braunstone and the advowson of the church of Braunstone in the county of Leicester; and a third part of the manors of Market Rasen and East Rasen in the county of Lincoln. They were to be held for the lives of John and Agnes, and after their decease remain to Walter Devereux and Elizabeth, his wife, and the heirs of their bodies. On the Subsidy Rolls of 1428 Walter Devereux held 1/3 of half a fee in Byford, and ½ fee in Bodenham.[c] On 30 July 1428 Maurice Taylor, Roger Haynes, Richard Baby and William Mimm granted to Walter Devereux and his uncles, John and Richard Devereux, all the lands and tenements they held in Bradley and their fees of Weobley, Dilwyn, and King’s Pyon in Herefordshire.

With the death of his grandmother, Agnes Crophull, on 9 February 1436, he inherited the remainder of his Devereux lands including Lyonshall Castle.[5] She withheld her Crophull lands, deeding a life interest in them to her third husband, John Merbury.[3] With his death on 3 February 1438, Walter Devereux inherited the Crophull lands[6] including Weobley,[d] and the Merbury estates. On 28 April 1438 Walter Devereux was certified as the heir of Agnes Crophul, and paid homage for his inheritance.

Following the death of Edmund Mortimer, 5th Earl of March, on 18 January 1425, Richard, 3rd Duke of York inherited his estates along the Welsh Marches. This brought Walter Devereux into the retinue of the Duke,[7] and he remained his loyal supporter throughout the War of the Roses. Devereux had been knighted by 22 September 1429 when he first represented Herefordshire in Parliament.[8] He probably was in attendance on the Duke when he travelled with Henry VI to France for his coronation on 16 December 1429. On his return Devereux represented Herefordshire again in Parliament on 16 January 1430. He was listed on the subsidy rolls for Herefordshire of 12 January 1431 as holding his 1/3 of half a fee in Byford.

Walter Devereux was appointed by the Duke of York as steward of his lordships of Radnor in 1435.[9] He represented Herefordshire in Parliament on 10 October 1435, and on 3 January 1436 was assigned to collect the tenth and fifteenth granted by the Parliament to the king.[10] Following York’s appointment as Lieutenant of France in May 1436, Devereux was probably in the army the Duke brought to Normandy to recapture Fecamp and hold the Pays de Caux.

He represented Herefordshire in Parliament on 14 January 1440,[11] and was described as a knight coming to Parliament on 24 April 1440 when identified as responsible for the distribution of a sum excepted from the collection of the tenth and fifteenth granted by Parliament.[12] On 7 May 1440 Eustace Whitney of Whitney, and Mathew Hay of Chikwell committed to Walter Devereux the wardship and marriages of the daughters of John Walwayn (Ellen, Agnes, and Elizabeth) who were minors in the king’s care. This placed in his keeping two-thirds of a moiety of the manor of Wellington, and two-thirds of a moiety of the manor of Addesore, county Hereford; rendering for the keeping of Wellington 4L 3s 4d, and for Addesore 5s 4d. The grant was confirmed on 16 May 1441 by Devereux’s payment of 20L to the exchequer. On 8 June 1455 Urias and Elizabeth de la Hay; and Henry and Joan ap Griffith granted to Walter Devereux and his son; William Herbert; John Barrow, and Miles Skull a moiety of Wellington and Addesore manors; 100 acres of land and 20 shillings of rent in Wellington forever.[13][14]

On 2 July 1440 the Duke of York was again appointed Lieutenant of France. On 28 January 1441 Walter Devereux was appointed Justice of the Peace for Herefordshire,[15] and on 18 February 1441 entrusted with collection of a tenth and fifteenth to fund an expedition by the Duke to defend English possessions in France.[16] In May 1441 Walter Devereux was granted protection and appointed an attorney while in France in the company of Richard, Duke of York.[17] During 1442 he was captain of the garrison at Arques (Normandy), and on 18 August led a garrison detachment to support the Siege of Conches, which surrendered on 7 September.[18][19] Henry VI diverted an army promised to York to the Duke of Somerset, and Devereux was back in England on 16 February 1443 when he was appointed again Justice of the Peace for Herefordshire.[20]

In 1445 Walter Devereux was Bailly of Caus Castle in Shropshire.[21] On 18 November 1445 he was appointed to a commission to inquire why following the death of Sir John Cornewaill on 20 December 1243 his lands were not taken into the king’s hands.

Early in 1446 Walter Devereux contracted a marriage for his son, Walter, with Anne Ferrers, daughter of William de Ferrers, 6th Baron Ferrers of Chartley; and entails manors on his son and new daughter-in-law. On 1 June 1446, he was entrusted with the collection of a loan for the king necessary for Henry VI’s meeting in October with the King of France to negotiate a final peace.[22]

While attending Parliament, Devereux witnessed the Duke of York’s grant of land to the house of friars minors at Babewell by Bury St Edmunds on 28 February 1447.[23] On 9 November 1447 he was appointed Sheriff of Herefordshire.[8][24] The manor of Leominster was placed in Walter Devereux’s keeping with the assent of the monastery of Reading on 12 February 1448.[25] On 10 April 1448 Nicholas Poynes and John Langeley granted to Sir Walter and Elizabeth Devereux the manor of Dymock, Gloucestershire.[26] Later on 7 December 1452 William Wykes of Moreton Geffrey, and John Hille of Weobley further committed to Sir Walter and Elizabeth Devereux four parts of the manor of Dymock, which had been taken into the king’s hand.[27]

On 30 July 1448 the Duke of York was appointed Lieutenant of Ireland, and Devereux was appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland. They went to Ireland in June 1449, but in June 1450 Jack Cade’s Rebellion broke out signaling growing discontent in England with the rule of Henry VI. In September 1450 the Duke returned to England and had an angry meeting with the King. Devereux yielded his position as Chancellor,[e] and on 1 August 1450 was granted L13 6s 8d from the Irish revenue for life for good and laudable services in the English and French Wars.[28] He represented Herefordshire at the Parliament of 6 November 1450, and a recognizance to the king was placed on Walter Devereux and others for ¹200 to insure that Robert Poynings, a supporter of the rebellion, appeared before Parliament before 7 December. Devereux was again in attendance at Parliament on 20 January 1450, and when it resumed on 5 May 1450. On 17 April 1451 Walter Devereux was appointed to determine the yearly value of the county, castle, and lordship of Pembroke; the castles, towns and lordships of Kilgarran, Llanstephan, Osterlowe, Treyne Clynton, and St Clear in Herefordshire.[29]

York declared his loyalty to the King at Ludlow in February 1452 stating that the Court should free itself from bad advisors. The King did not respond, and York took to the field with his supporters, which included Walter Devereux, and marched on London. The King eventually found York entrenched at Dartford Heath. The confrontation was resolved following minor skirmishing, but Devereux was attainted for treason by Parliament later that year. At this time, he began holding Wigmore Castle for the Yorkists.

On 5 January 1453 Jasper and Edmund Tudor were formally invested as the Earls of Pembroke, and Richmond respectively. From this time forward the Tudors intermittently fought a private war with William Herbert and Walter Devereux. On 6 March 1453 Devereux’s son, now Lord Ferrers, represented Herefordshire in Parliament in his place. On 20 March Walter Devereux and William Wylflete were placed under a recognizance of 200L and 50 marks to John, Bishop of St David's, and on 15 May the bishop granted them a moiety of Narberth Castle.[30] On 26 March Walter Devereux of Weobley; William Herbert of Raglan; Humphrey Stafford of Frome; Thomas Throgmerton of Coughton; John Throgmerton of Tewkesbury; and John Cassy of Wightfeld were place under a recognisance to the king of 40L for the good behavior of Thomas Herbert of Billingsley. Devereux granted his part of 80 acres of land in Suthwyk and Peryowe to the Duke of York on 15 June 1453, so that he in turn could grant it to John Lynne.[31] On 14 December 1453 Walter Devereux and his son were appointed to investigate the escape of prisoners in Herefordshire.[32] Devereux was appointed on 22 February 1455 to investigate specifically the misdeeds of John Cassy.[33]

In August 1453 Bordeaux was lost to the French, and Henry VI became mentally incapacitated. On 27 March 1454 the Duke of York was made Protector of the Realm, but on 25 December 1454 the king regained his senses and set about reversing the Duke’s actions.

On 22 May 1455, the first Battle of St. Albans was fought north of London, traditionally recognized as the first battle of the War of the Roses. A Yorkist victory that included the capture of the King, the Battle of St. Albans restored the Duke of York to complete power. Shortly after the victory Parliament pardoned Walter Devereux on 9 July.[7] On 4 November 1455 he was appointed Sheriff of Gloucestershire.[34] He was also appointed Justice of the Peace for Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, and would continue to hold one or both of these positions for the rest of his life.[35]

As the King and the Lancasterian party maneuvered to reverse their losses, lawlessness increased on the Welsh Marches. Walter Devereux, as Constable of Wigmore Castle, was up in arms.[36][37] In the summer of 1456, he descended on Hereford with the castle’s garrison and captured the mayor and justices. Devereux then brought before the justices several local men whom he had the justices condemn to death by hanging. He mustered a force of 2000 archers from Gwent, and marched on the castles at Carmarthen and Aberystwyth, which he took by assault.[38] Afterwards he declared a commission of Oyer and terminer to judge and condemn men whom he believed hostile to York. Among his prisoners were Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, and Robert Rees, Keeper of the Welsh Seal. The king placed Walter Devereux under a recognizance of 1000L on 26 September 1456 to be paid if he didn’t immediately turn himself in at Windsor Castle.[39] He, and his son, were also among a group of prominent Herefordshire Yorkists placed under another recognizance of 5000 marks on 2 June 1457 to be paid if they did not turn themselves in for imprisonment at Marshalsea.[40] Devereux, along with Humphrey Stafford and Clement Spryce, were placed under an additional recognizance of 2000 marks on 3 June to be paid if Humphrey Stafford did not turn himself in at Marshalsea.[41] In early 1458 Henry VI granted Walter Devereux a pardon as part of his general effort at reconciliation with the Yorkists, and this was followed by a grant of land in Drogheda in Ireland in 1459.[1]

Death

Walter Devereux died on the 22 or 23 April in 1459.[1] Three writs were issued between 27 April to 30 April 1459 to the escheators of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Gloucestershire, the march of Wales, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire, and London to make inquiry into his holdings.[42]

By her he had two sons and two daughters : 1, William; 2, Ralph; 3, Alice, wife of Peter Corbet, of Leghton; 4. Joan, wife of Robert Aston, of Park Hall, Staffordshire.

About 1176, Ralph de Brereton, a grand-son of the first Ralph, is witness in a grant of Marton to Richard de Davenport.
About 1194, William de Brereton, son of this last Ralph, received a deed at the time of his marriage to Margery, daughter of Randle de Torhaunt, eight witnesses signing the contract. This William was knighted by Henry III in 1208, the beginning of honors held in the Brereton family for over five hundred years.
In 1216, Sir Ralph de Brereton, son of William, granted land to "Brereton" church, as shown by parish records still in existence.
About 1232, this Sir Ralph received payment of "half a salt works" for some public services done in Cheshire.
During the year 1250, Sir William Brere-
https://archive.org/stream/breretonfamilyhi00brerrich#page/10/mode/1up
ton was witness to legal documents in Chester. In 1307, another William Brereton was witness to four deeds still on file there. The same year, William le Brereton, Kt, was witness to deeds of sale in Chester.
Sir William Brereton, Kt., son and heir of Ralph, married a daughter of Sir Richard de Sandbach, in fulfillment of a contract made with William de Venables.
About 1275, Sir William Brereton married Roesia, daughter of Ralph de Vernon. This wedding united the Breretons with the Vernons of "Haddon Hall," so well described by Majors in the novel "Dorothy Vernon." This Sir William later gave one hundred marks for the marriage of their daughter Margery to Thomas de Davenport in 1301. He was knighted by Edward III in 1321.
In 1342, Sir William and his wife, Roesia, united in a deed of lands in Brereton parish. Roesia must have believed in "woman's rights" and had her name put in the deeds. This Sir William received indulgences from the Pope for services rendered in
https://archive.org/stream/breretonfamilyhi00brerrich#page/11/mode/1up
the Crusades to the Holy Sepulchre, about 1350. .... etc.
https://archive.org/stream/breretonfamilyhi00brerrich#page/13/mode/1up
Returning to the records, we find that William de Brereton, son of the previous Sir William, died before his father, leaving a son of the same name.
https://archive.org/stream/breretonfamilyhi00brerrich#page/14/mode/1up

In 1354, Sir William Brereton, heir to his grandfather, married Ellena, daughter of David de Egerton, a descendant of the Norman barons; by this alliance the Brereton estates were greatly extended, placing their social standing among the best in England.

In 1386, Sir William Brereton, son of the above, married Anylla, daughter of Sir William Venables, a descendant of Gilbert de Venables, first baron of Cheshire, and grantee of the first Brereton estate, three hundred years before. By a second marriage, to Elena, daughter of Sir William Massey of Tatton Hall, in 1426, the Brereton holdings were among the great estates of England, including the manors of Malpas and Picton, with lands in Woodhull, Crouton, Charlton, and Norwich.

William de Brereton, son of the above, married Alice, sister and heiress of Sir Richard Corbett of Leighton ; this William died during the life of his father. About this time the "de" was dropped from English names, as it was simply a descriptive
https://archive.org/stream/breretonfamilyhi00brerrich#page/15/mode/1up
term and never a title, nor represented any special honor.

In 1409, a record says that King Henry removed the Mayor of Chester and placed Sir William Brereton in charge as military governor.

William Brereton, on the death of his grandfather, in 1435, was found heir to the vast estates of Brereton, and also the estates of his step-mother, in Tilston and Herthull, as recorded in 1438. He was knighted in 1485. His son, William Brereton, died issueless, breaking the line of descent, the succession passing to his nephew, son of Sir Andrew Brereton, in 1507.

Waynflete, William of (DNB00)
WAYNFLETE or WAINFLEET, WILLIAM of (1395?ãa€“1486), bishop of Winchester, lord chancellor of England, and founder of Magdalen College, Oxford, was the elder of two sons of Richard Patyn, Patten, or Patton, alias Barbour, of Wainfleet, Lincolnshire. From a deed (recently rediscovered and printed by the Rev. W. D. Macray in his Register of Magdalen College) executed by Juliana Chirchestyle, grandniece of the bishop, in 1497, it appears that Waynflete held the manor and manor-house of Dakenham Place, Barkinge (printed by Macray ãa€˜Backingeãa€™). This deed points to Essex as the home of at least one branch of the family, and corroborates the inference which may be drawn from other data that the bishop was of gentle blood. It also makes it probable that the trade-name of Barbour was not common to the family, but was only the name of the bishop's father's mother. The social position of Richard Patyn is indicated by his marriage with Margery, youngest daughter of Sir William Brereton (d. 1425ãa€“6), knight, of Brereton, Cheshire (Ormerod, iii. 81).

b Hence it appears that the noble family of Egerton originally sprung from David de Malpas, lord of a moiety of the barony of Malpas. Elena, sister and coheiress of David de Egerton, having married Sir William Brereton of Brereton in 1368, the elder line of the Egertons were afterwards represented by the Breretons of Brereton Hall, and, as was then added, of Malpas Castle. Much of the Brereton property eventually reverted to the Egertons, partly by devise. See post, Shocklack and Malpas Hall Breretons, and Breretons of Tatton.

The Delves family, originally of Delves Hall in Staffordshire, had been established at Doddington since the time of Edward III. Although there is some confusion about Henry Delvesãa€™s parentage, the Cheshire historian Ormerodãa€™s statement that he was the man of that name found heir apparent to Richard Delves, canon of Lichfield, appears to be untrue. The same authority adds, but without giving a source, that Delves was steward to the 5th Lord Fitzwarin in 1518 and to the 1st Earl of Rutland in 1526. The first clear trace of Delves appears to be his knighting at the coronation of Anne Boleyn in 1533, when he was one of four Cheshire gentlemen so honoured. In the following year .... etc.

________________________

The Brereton family tree begins in 1175 with William de Brereton. His family had arrived from France with William the Conqueror, and that William was named after him as a tribute - it was to become a recurring name within the family. Later, another unfortunate William Brereton, along with four companions, was arrested and sent to the Tower of London charged with high treason as lovers of Anne Boleyn . Despite protestations of innocence, they were sentenced to death and beheaded on Tower Hill in 1536. The Brereton family exerted power and influence over Cheshire with holdings in Handforth, Malpas, Cheadle and at their country seat at Brereton Hall. It was a Sir William Brereton who also headed parliamentarian forces at the Battle of Middlewich and the siege of Nantwich in the English Civil Wars. The Brereton's established Handforth Hall when they became lords of the manor of the Bosden area in the early 1500s. One Sir Richard Brereton was the last owner of Tatton Park before the Egerton family took it over.

Ormerod describes the Parish of Brereton as having only one township - Brereton-cum-Smethwick - bounded by the parishes of Sandbach, Middlewich and Astbury. At the time of the Norman Conquest, Brereton came under Gilbert de Venables, Baron of Kinderton. It was granted to a family which assumed the local name but from the arms subsequently adopted it is likely that they were related to the Venables family. The Brereton family tree goes back to Ralph de Brereton who is known from being a witness to a charter by Gilbert Venables in the time of William II or Henry I. The manor and advowson continued in the male line of the Brereton family until Francis, 5th Lord Brereton died unmarried in 1722.

The connection with the Egertons of Malpas is shown in the first tree below leading to the Breretons of Malpas and Shocklach. The first five Breretons shown below were called William and following inheritance through a brother called Andrew the next three were called William also.

As a boy he lived with the Savage family and saw Rock Savage being built. Subsequently he married Alice Savage and built Brereton Hall in the style of Rock Savage. This tree shows the end of the Brereton male line at Brereton and the succession through the Holte and Bracebridge families. The 2nd Lord Brereton was a leading Royalist in the Civil War and after the surrender at Nantwich was taken prisoner, with his wife and son at Biddulph Hall in Staffordshire. His distant cousin, Sir William Brereton of Handforth, was a General in the Parliamentary Army. The 3rd Lord Brereton was one of the founders of the Royal Society.

Brereton, formerly known as Brereton-cum-Smethwick

The village is characterised by its hall, church and inn. Brereton Hall, a fine Elizabethan house, was built in 1586 but is not accessible to photography by the general public. A Bear's head was the symbol of the Brereton family, hence the name of the inn, which dates from 1615. Until the recent modifications, a stuffed bear's head was displayed under a small canopy above the front door. The head is now preserved in the church in connection with the Brereton monument.

The family tree is continued below from the Sir William Brereton shown above in generation 8. Sir William in generation 1. below was born in 1550 and his father died in 1559. As a boy he lived with the Savage family and saw Rock Savage being built. Subsequently he married Alice Savage and built Brereton Hall in the style of Rock Savage. This tree shows the end of the Brereton male line at Brereton and the succession through the Holte and Bracebridge families. The 2nd Lord Brereton was a leading Royalist in the Civil War and after the surrender at Nantwich was taken prisoner, with his wife and son at Biddulph Hall in Staffordshire. His distant cousin, Sir William Brereton of Handforth, was a General in the Parliamentary Army. The 3rd Lord Brereton was one of the founders of the Royal Society.

In the Town Hall at Chester there is a tableau above one of the doors as shown below, entitled Sir W. Brereton before the Mayor's Court.

Notes:

Sir Walter Devereux of Bodenham was a prominent knight of Herefordshire during the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V. He is the ancestor of the Devereux Earls of Essex and Viscounts of Hereford.

Childhood and Ancestry

Walter Devereux was born on Christmas Day 1387,[1][2] and was 15 years old at the death of his father, Walter Devereux of Weobley.[3] He inherited only part of the lands of his father, and his mother, Agnes Crophull,[a] held the majority of his estates in dower during his lifetime.[4]

His arms were: Argent a fesse gules, in chief three torteaux.

Career

Walter Devereux assumed a position in the retinue of Henry IV following the death of his father on 25 July 1402 at the Battle of Pilleth. On 13 December 1402 Sir Edmund Mortimer declared his rebellion against Henry IV, but Devereux stayed loyal to the king. He was probably present at the Battle of Shrewsbury on 21 July 1403, and subsequently was knighted.[b] Sir Walter Devereux was placed on a Commission of array for Herefordshire on 8 September 1403 to raise troops for the defense against the king’s enemies who have lately invaded the realm.[5] It is probable that Devereux was present when Henry IV faced off with a combined Welsh and French force in South Wales during the summer of 1405, but no major battle occurred and the English force had dispersed by October of that year. Devereux remained an important supporter of the efforts to suppress the rebellion in Wales as Prince Henry assumed responsibility for the fight. Walter Devereux would be among 14 men below the rank of baron who would be retained for life by Prince Henry (the future Henry V).[6]

In 1406 Welsh raiders damaged Lyonshall Castle in the heart of Devereux territory. Walter Devereux shared a claim on the castle with the family of his distant cousin John Devereux, 1st Baron Devereux. These claims could only be inherited through the male line, and would result in the castle finally passing to his son in the 1430s. When the daughter of John Devereux, Joan 3rd Baroness Devereux and Baroness Fitzwalter, died on 11 May 1409 she still possessed Lyonshall. On 24 May 1409 an order was issued to the escheator and sheriff of Herefordshire to take the castle into the king’s hands, and arrest ‘certain of the king’s lieges’ who had entered and held it with a strong hand to the contempt of the king. This is probably a reference to Walter Devereux trying to assert his claim.

As described in Shakespeare's plays, there is suggestion that when Henry V assumed the throne on 20 March 1413, the new king did not favor the companions of his youth who had supported him in his struggles with the partisans of his father, Henry IV. This loss of favor may have contributed to the shift of the Devereux family into the retinue of the newly reinstated Earl of March, and ultimately into the affinity of the House of York.

On 12 November 1414 John and Agnes Cheverell granted for 200 marks to Agnes Crophul, mother of Walter Devereux, and her heirs 1 messuage, 20 acres of land, 5 acres of meadow, and 7 acres of pasture in Whitchurch maund; the manor and rent of Whitchurch maund; 7 messuages, 1 toft, 243 acres of land, 26 acres of meadow, and 28 acres of wood in Bodenham, which encompassed all the land concessions of Walter Devereux’s ancestor, William Devereux of Bodenham, to Baron John Devereux.

Walter Devereux went with Henry V to France along with his brothers, Sir John Devereux[7] and Sir Richard Devereux.[8][9] He fought at the Siege of Harfleur, and the Battle of Agincourt on 25 October 1415.

On 2 May 1417 Geoffrey Harley, Richard Hull, and John Monnington granted to John Merbury, and Agnes Crophul, his wife and the heirs of their body: Weobley Castle, and the manors of Weobley, Cotesbach, and Newbold Verdon; the manors of Arnold, Treswell, Hyde, Hemington (in Lockington), Sutton Bonington, Leake, Thrumpton, Braunstone, and the manor and vill of Market Rasen; 3 knights’ fees in Weobley, Straddle (in Vowchurch), Cusop, and Little Marcle in Herefordshire, one and a quarter knights’ fees in Bitterly and Blithelow (in Bishop's Castle) in Shropshire; 60 shillings of rent and the view of frankpledge of Skeffington in Leicestershire; the advowsons in Leicestershire of the priory of Grace Dieu; the churches of Braunstone, Skeffington, and Cotesbach; a fourth part of the church of Bosworth, the advowson of Ludlow in Shropshire; and a fourth part of a water mill in Luton and Wheathampstead (Bedfordshire). These lands would all pass together to the Devereux family following the marriage of Walter Devereux’s son to John Merbury’s daughter from a previous marriage.

On 3 November 1417 Walter Devereux acquired 3 messuages, 7 tofts, 1 dovecote, 273 acres of land, 20 acres of meadow, 15 acres of pasture and 22 shillings 6 pence of rent in Lyde Muscegros, Lyde Godfrey, Lyde Saucy, and Lyde Prior in Herefordshire.[10] They would remain in the possession of the Devereux family for the next 100 years.

On 20 January 1418 John Walwyn died holding a moiety of the manors of Wellington and Addesore, and left a widow and three underage daughters who became the wards of Walter Devereux. Walwyn’s widow died in 1419, and the next year the eldest daughter, Elena wife of Richard Monington, proved her full age before the escheator and jurors.[11]

Death

Walter Devereux died in 1419, and the escheator of Hereford and the adjacent march of Wales was ordered to take his lands in hand on 20 November 1419.[1][12]

Marriage

Walter Devereux married about 1409 to Elizabeth Maud Bromwich, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromwich.[3][1][13] They had at least one son, Walter Devereux his heir, in 1411, and a daughter, Elizabeth.[14][15][c]

Note: The maiden name of John Tuchet's wife and mother of their son John (born April 1371) has not been proven. In Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry, he shows her as Maud ?Grey (p 362). Discussions in Rootsweb GEN-MEDIEVAL forum in 2002 and 2006 appear to support that she was the daughter of Reynold Grey and his wife, Eleanor le Strange. Yet Royal Ancestry (published 2013) lists John's wife as Maud ____ and only mentions Grey in the fine print (see his profile, the Disputed Wives section).

Note

Douglas Richardson wrote:[1]
In a related vein, Peter Sutton and I have been an on-going discussion on the identity of the parentage of Maud, wife of John Tuchet (died 1372). An ancient Willoughby pedigree identifies Maud as the "daughter of Reginald, and sister of Sir John de Grey." Peter suggested that Maud Tuchet might be a member of the Grey family of Ruthin. I recently learned that Reynold Grey and his wife, Eleanor le Strange, had a son, John. If so, it would appear would appear that
Reynold and Eleanor are Maud Tuchet's parents.
...
Moreover, I find another piece which points to Maud Tuchet being a member of this Grey family. If Maud was the daughter of Reynold and Eleanor Grey, then she would be the sister to Ida Grey who married John Cokayne...

Humphrey married Alice Grenville in 1365. Alice was born in ~1350. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sir Walter Devereux of Bodenham and Weobley was a prominent knight in Herefordshire during the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV. He represented Hereford in Parliament, and gave rise to the Devereux Earls of Essex and Viscounts of Hereford.

Ancestry and childhood

Walter Devereux[1][2] was born about 1361, the son of Sir Walter Devereux (died c. 1383) [1][2][3] of Bodenham and a woman named Maud. His father was the cousin of John Devereux, 1st Baron Devereux of Whitchurch Maund,[a][b] and they were close allies. Walter’s grandfather, William Devereux of Bodenham,[4] had made land concessions in Bodenham Parish (Hereford) to John Devereux about 1360, and throughout his life Baron Devereux appears to have promoted the careers of his cousin’s family in the royal household.

His arms were: Argent a fesse gules, in chief three torteaux.

Career

When Walter Devereux came of age, he joined the retinue of Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, like his father. He was a King’s esquire by 8 February 1382 when he attended Parliament with his father. Both Devereux’s were appointed to a Royal Commission[2] to arrest William Solers for disseising John ap William ap Jankin of the manor of Dorstone.[5] Walter Devereux was also granted for life the office of Constable of Builth Castle in Radnorshire during the minority of Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March.[6]

On 22 December 1384, Mary de Bohun had come of age, and the final transfer of the estate of the Earl of Hereford occurred to her husband, Henry Bolingbroke. These included Walter’s fee in Bodenham held by his grandfather, William Devereux, and ½ fee in Moccas and Sutton held by his father, Walter Devereux (died c. 1383).

Walter Devereux was assigned on 20 February 1385 to investigate the murder of John Kings of Whiteborn, and any who may have harbored the murderers.[7] Later on 26 February 1388 during the “Merciless Parliament” he was relieved of any responsibility for failing to execute this order claiming under oath that he did not receive notice of it.

On 26 April 1385 he was appointed to a Commission of array for Herefordshire to prepare for an imminent French invasion.[8] Devereux participated in Richard II’s expedition to Scotland in the summer of 1385, and probably was knighted during this time. On 9 November 1385 Walter was appointed Justice of the Peace, and to a commission of Oyer and terminer for Herefordshire along with his liege, Thomas of Woodstock.[9] He would continue to hold the position of Justice of the Peace through 1399.[10]

In the “Wonderful Parliament” of 01 October 1386 Richard II was forced to accept a commission of 11 members to control the royal household for 1 year to counter growing anger with his financial excesses. Walter’s cousin and ally, Baron John Devereux, was a member of the commission. The Lords Appellant led this movement and included Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester; Richard FitzAlan, Earl of Arundel; Thomas de Beachamp, Earl of Warwick; and later Henry Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby; and Thomas de Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham. The Earl of Arundel was appointed admiral of the fleet on 10 December 1386, and Sir Walter Devereux served under Captain Sir Thomas Mortimer in his naval expedition.[11] Arundel took command of the fleet on 16 March 1386 at Sandwich, and led them in the Battle of Cadsand on 24 March. Fought off Margate, the English were victorious over a Franco-Flemish fleet ending the threat of a French invasion. The English pursued the remnants of the enemy to Sluis, and then pillaged the surrounding countryside before bringing the fleet back to England on 14 April. They then made another foray to Brest in Brittany before returning to England in June 1387.

Walter Devereux was probably present at the Battle of Radcot Bridge on 19 December 1387 when Thomas of Woodstock led the Appellants to victory. He also attended the “Merciless Parliament” on 3 February 1388 where he received a writ of supersedeas omnino noted above. At the close of the parliament on 20 March a writ was issued to Walter Devereux and the sheriff of Herefordshire to administer an oath of loyalty to the men of Herefordshire not present at Parliament, and bring a list of their names on the quinzaine of Easter. The form of oath to state that they shall keep the peace, and shall with all their might oppose any who do the contrary, that they shall to the end of this parliament side with the five following lords, to wit Thomas duke of Gloucester; Henry earl of Derby; Richard earl of Arundel and Surrey; Thomas earl of Warwick; and Thomas earl marshal; if any man will do aught against their bodies, and shall maintain them to the death against every man without exception, saving always their allegiance to the king, the prerogative of the crown, the laws and good customs of the realm.

On 5 May 1388 Simon de Burley was among the lords convicted by Parliament. Among his forfeited properties was Lyonshall Castle. Baron Devereux was granted the return of the castle, which had been his family’s caput and alienated 87 years earlier, and Walter Devereux also received his inheritance rights to the castle as well.

On 10 November 1388 Walter Devereux witnessed John de Cornewaile of Kinlet’s grant of warranty for life to Cornewaile’s mother of two thirds of the manor of Ashton, Herefordshire, if she should outlive his father, Sir Brian. On 28 June 1390 he was place on a commission of Oyer and terminer in addition to his role as Justice of the Peace for Herefordshire. On 15 July Devereux was on the commission conducting the inquiry post-mortem of John Hastings, 3rd Earl of Pembroke, who had died before coming of age. He was directed to inquire what lands had been held in dower at the death of the earl’s widowed mother, Anne Manny, on 3 April 1384, and the widow of Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, Marie de St Pol, on her death 16 March 1377. On 27 October 1391 there were adjustments to the rent of the lordship of Bergevenny based on his findings.

On 8 February 1391 Devereux conducted an inquiry into the alienation of the manor of Eaton Tregoes, Herefordshire.[12] On 20 January John and Julian Kirby of La Verne sold for 100L Kimbolton manor, Huntingdonshire; and 2 carucates of land, 12 acres of meadow, and 13 shillings of rent in Laysters, Weston, Mappenore, Leominster, and Aston in Herefordshire to Walter Devereux. A writ was issued in Herefordshire on 17 February 1392 for Thomas, son of Llewelyn le Taillour, for not appearing to answer Walter Devereux regarding a debt of 40L.[13] On 1 March 1392 Devereux was assigned to raise troops in Hertfordshire to resist an invasion in case of war after the expiration of the current truce.[14]

On 27 September 1393 Devereux was mandated to suppress the Lollards in Herefordshire.[15] Specifically cited was Walter Brut and other sons of iniquity who obstinately held, affirmed and preached secretly and openly in various places in the diocese of Hereford certain articles and conclusions notoriously repugnant to sound doctrine, definitively condemned by Holy Church, some as heresies, others as errors.[16]

On 18 June 1394 Walter Devereux was again placed on a commission of Oyer and Terminer for Herefordshire.[17] On 7 August he was granted clause volumus (protection) for one half year[18] while accompanying Richard II to Ireland, and on 28 September nominated Roger Wigmore and Thomas Oldcastle as his attorneys in his absence.[19] Devereux was probably serving in the retinue of Thomas of Woodstock who accompanied the king. The army landed and marched towards Kilkenny undergoing harassment by Irish forces the entire way. After suffering heavy losses, Richard II agreed to negotiate, and brought the army to Dublin by December. The king abruptly returned to England to deal with the Lollard threat, and left part of the army behind under the nominal leadership of the under-age, Roger Mortimer, 4th Earl of March.

On 4 May 1397 Walter and Agnes Devereux paid 13s 4d for the inspection and confirmation of Agnes right as heir for the Crophul charter of 12 May 1327 involving Bonington and Sutton in Nottinghamshire.[20] Shortly after this Richard II begins to move against the prior Lords Appellant. Thomas of Woodstock is captured and sent to Calais, and Sir Thomas Mortimer flees the country to avoid a treason charge. On 27 July Walter Devereux is appointed to a commission of Oyer and terminer in Herefordshire in addition to his duties as Justice of the Peace.[21] On 17 September Thomas of Woodstock was murdered, and Devereux joined the retinue of Henry Bolingbroke, husband of the last Bohun heir, Mary.

Following the death of John Devereux, 2nd Baron of Devereux, on 13 November 1396 his sister Joan Devereux inherited the barony. She married Walter fitzWalter in 1397, and shortly after Walter Devereux was appointed Lieutenant of the Lord FitzWalter’s manors in Herefordshire.

During 1398, Henry Bolingbroke was accused of treason by Thomas de Mowbray, and the two prepared to meet in a duel of honor. Richard II stopped the duel, and instead banished them both from the kingdom. Following the death of Bolingbroke’s father, John of Gaunt, on 3 February 1399, Richard II revoked the patents allowing Henry Bolingbroke to inherit his estates by proxy on 18 March. Richard II left for Ireland in late May, and Bolingbroke landed at Ravenspurn, Yorkshire, raising a rebellion. Although, placed on a commission of Oyer and terminer on 2 March for Herefordshire,[22] Walter Devereux came out in support of the rebels. When Richard II returned and landed in Wales on 24 July, Devereux was probably among the rebel forces that eventually captured the king at Flint Castle. Following Richard II’s abdication, Bolingbroke was crowned Henry IV on 13 October 1399. Walter Devereux was appointed to a Commission of array in Herefordshire on 18 December 1399.[23] On 6 January 1400 Henry IV did not show up for the Epiphany feast being forewarned of a plot, and the conspirators scattered only to be captured, killed, and attainted over the next 2 weeks.

In mid-August 1400 Henry IV led an army into Scotland to suppress raiding, and Walter Devereux served as a captain in this expedition,[24] It ended after 2 weeks without accomplishing much, and on 16 September the Glyndwr Rising broke out in Wales. Henry IV diverted his returning army including Devereux to Wales, but they are unable come to grips with Owain Glyndwr.

Walter Devereux represented Herefordshire in Parliament on 20 January 1401.[25] On 29 April he was placed on a commission to arrest John fitzPieres and Maurice ap Meweryk.[26] On 16 May Devereux was appointed Sheriff of Herefordshire,[27] appointed Justice of the Peace for Herefordshire,[28] and tasked with suppressing lawlessness in South Wales, Bergeveny, Herefordshire, and the March of Wales.[29] As the insurrection spread through the marches, Devereux was assigned on 26 August to inquire into the murder of Thomas Stannesbache of Bromyard, and the wounding of William Ranves at Bromyard.[30] On 11 May 1402 Walter Devereux was appointed to make a proclamation of Henry IV’s intention to govern well in Herefordshire.[31] Shortly after he set out with Sir Edmund Mortimer to fight the rebels.

Death

The English met the Welsh at the Battle of Pilleth on 22 June 1402.[c] During the battle, Walter Devereux was mortally wounded, and died 1 month latter on 25 July 1402.[32]

Walter Devereux is believed to have been buried in Weobley Church. Provided is an excerpt from the Journal of the British Archeological Association on this subject: The two monuments on the north and south sides of the chancel are described by Silas Taylor in 1665. Speaking of the one on the north side, he says, “near him, on the wall, hangs a wooden shield with the arms of Devereux. Over against it on the south side, another shield hangs up with a cross engrailed between four spear-heads. I could not discern the colours… A little lower, near the remains of the quire are the effigies of a man in close armour, and a woman”… I am disposed to think that the single figure represents Sir W. Devereux, who died in 1402, and the two figures represent John Marbury and Agnes his wife. I think so partly because Silas Taylor says the Devereux shield hung on the north side and the Marbury shield on the south. [d][33][34]

Marriage

Walter Devereux was first contracted in marriage to Margaret Seys. He was granted an annulment of this marriage early in 1372, probably to clear the way for a more advantageous match with Agnes Crophull.[e]

He married Agnes Crophull[1][35] (1371 to 9 February 1436) in October 1382.[36][37] She was the daughter of Thomas Crophull,[38] and granddaughter and heiress of John Crophull[39] and her cousin.

On 25 October 1382 Walter Devereux, his father (Sir Walter Devereux), Sir John Devereux, and Sir John de Burley were placed under a recognizance of 400L to Sir John Crophul. On 4 November 1282 John Crophul was granted license following the payment of 20 marks to enfoeff Walter and Agnes Devereux in the manor of Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire.[40] Following John Crophul’s death on 3 July 1383, Agnes (age 12) was identified as Walter Devereux’s wife. Wardship of Agnes had been assigned to Roger Crophul. On 21 August 1383 Roger Crophul and Thomas Melton granted to Walter Devereux the keeping of all the lands of the late John Crophul except the manors of Hemington, Braunstone, and Bonington until the lawful age of his wife. Joan, widow of John Crophul’s son Thomas, was assigned Market Rasen as her dower on 20 September 1383. After the widow’s death and Agnes’ coming of age on 27 September 1385, Walter Devereux took possession of the remaining Crophul lands by right of marriage.[41] These included Weobley manor (Herefordshire); Sutton Bonington manor and lands at Arnold (Nottinghamshire); the manors of Navenby, Cotesbach, Braunstone, and Hemington (Leicestershire); and an estate at Market Rasen (Lincolnshire). Weobley would become his principal residence.

They had children:[f] Sir Walter Devereux his heir (1387).,[1][g][42] Sir Richard Devereux (c. 1389) ),[1][42][43][44][45] Sir John Devereux (c. 1391),[1][42][44][46][47] Thomas (c. 1393), Margaret (c. 1396), and Elizabeth (c. 1401).[48][49][h]

Agnes survived her husband and was the godmother of Humphrey, earl of Stafford on 15 August 1402.[50]She married a second time to John Parr of Kendall about 1403. John Parr died about September 1407, and his heir was a son Thomas (aged 2).[i] By their son, Thomas, John Parr and Agnes were ancestors of the sixth queen consort of King Henry VIII, Catherine Parr.

Agnes Crophull married a 3rd time to John Merbury (died 3 February 1438) in 1416.[51] By 1428 John Merbury is indicated as holding one share of Lyonshall previously held by Lord Fitzwalter.

When Agnes Crophull died on 9 February 1436, her heir was Walter Devereux, grandson of her first husband through their son, Walter Devereux (died 1420). Lyonshall passed to this grandson from her, and also by right of his wife, Elizabeth Merbury, who was the daughter of Agnes Crophull’s third husband, John Merbury, by a previous marriage. Agnes was buried at Weobley as described above.

British Aristocracy

Fulk (Strange) Le Strange was a member of aristocracy in the British Isles.

Join: British Royals and Aristocrats Project

Discuss: BRITISH_ARISTO

Inherited Whitchurch from his mother Eleanor; he served with credit as a young man in Gascony in 1294, and also during all the Scottish campaigns of Edward I. Though not summoned to the Parliament held at Lincoln in 1301, his name as Lord of Corfham appears among those of the barons who sealed the letter to the Pope, and he was one of the three le Strange knights who were present at the tournament in 1309.

In that year he was summoned to Parliament under the style of Lord Strange of Blackmere, and the rolls for the next fifteen years are full of writs directed to him for civil and military employments.

In the reign of Edward II Fulk was among the adherents of the Earl of Lancaster, and received a pardon for the part which he had taken against Gaveston and the King's friends. Like most of the Marchers, he espoused the policy of the lords ordainers, and on several occasions he appears to have evaded compliance with the royal writs requiring him to perform active service against the Scots.

In 1321 he changed sides, like most of the Marcher lords, on account of their fear of Despencer's encroachments, and he joined the association formed by them to drive the Despencers out of the kingdom. Apparently he fought on the King's side at the battle of Boroughbridge, which resulted in the capture and execution of Lancaster. These services, and his early experiences in Gascony, procured for him in 1322 the appointment to the important office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, and he administered that province for upwards of a year, until stricken down there by illness from which he never recovered; he probably died in France early in 1324.

On 16 july 1289 it was ordered that he should have his brother's lands on the condition of doing homage to the king when Edward I was next in England.

In 1294 he was recorded as going to Gascony, and from March 1298 until April 1323 he was summoned for service against the Scots.

In Feb. 1300/1 he had his seal appended to the Baron's letter to the Pope as "Fulco Lestrange dominus de Corfham".

He was summoned to Parliament by writ directed "Fulconi Lestrange," whereby he is held to have become Lord Strange, on 4 March 1308/9 in 2 Edward II.

In 1312 he adhered to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and in 1315 he was pardoned some debts due from his uncle Hamon for service in Gascony. He was appointed Seneschal of Aquitaine in 1322, and the same year he was licensed to crenellate his dwelling-place of Whitechurch, Shropshire.

He was field commander of the forces of Edward I and Edward II in Scotland and France, and Sâenâeschal of the Duchy of Aquitaine. Children: i. Elizabeth, in. by March 1323 Sir Robert Corbet of Moreton Corbet i. John, 2nd Baron Blackmere, d. 21 July 1349; m. Ankaret Boteler, who d. 8 Oct. 1361. iii. Maud, m. Bryan de Cornwall of Kynlet. iv. Fulk, left infant daughters Joan (who m. John Careless or Carless) and Eleanor (who m. Edward de Acton)

Notes:

James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley (8 January 1312/13 – 1 April 1386) of Heighley Castle, Staffordshire, was an English peer. He was the son and heir of Nicholas Audley, 1st Baron Audley (1289–1316) by his wife Joan FitzMartin (died Feb. 1320 / 1 Aug. 1322)[clarification needed], who was the daughter of William FitzMartin (died 1324), feudal baron of Barnstaple, Devon, and was posthumously the eventual sole heiress of her brother William FitzMartin (died 1326) to the feudal barony of Barnstaple.

Marriages and children

James Audley married twice. His first marriage, before 13 June 1330, was to Joan Mortimer, daughter of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March by his wife Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville. By Joan he had four children. Their eldest son, Nicholas, succeeded his father in the title, becoming Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley (c.1328–1391) – he married Elizabeth Beaumont, a daughter of Henry de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan, but died without legitimate issue whereupon his nephew John Tuchet, 4th Baron Audley inherited the title and a one-third share of the lands of the barony of Audley.[2] Their second son Roger predeceased his father.[3] Joan (1331–1393), their first daughter, married Sir John Tuchet (1327–1371) – their son John (Nicholas's nephew) inherited the Audley barony.[2] Audley's last child by Joan was Margaret (born pre-1351, died 1410/11) who married Sir Roger Hillary.[4]

After the death of his first wife, Audley married before December 1351 to Isabel LeStrange, daughter of Roger le Strange, 5th Baron Strange (c. 1327–1382) of Knokyn. They had four children: three sons, Thomas, Rodeland (or Rowland) and James, who all died childless,[4] and a daughter, Margaret Audley (died 1373), who married Fulk FitzWarin, 4th Baron FitzWarin (1341–1374) of Whittington Castle, Shropshire and Alveston, Gloucestershire.[5] Fulk's mother was said to be Joan de Beaumont, a daughter of Henry de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Buchan,[6] and was thus a sister of the wife of Fulk's half-brother-in-law Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley. In 1392 Margaret's 3-year-old grandson Fulk FitzWarin, 6th Baron FitzWarin (1389–1407) inherited the manor of Tawstock in Devon, thought to have been a later seat of the feudal barons of Barnstaple,[7] which had been settled in 1370 by James Audley, 2nd Baron, in tail male successively to his three childless sons from his second marriage.[4]

Succession

James Audley had settled the feudal barony of Barnstaple by means of an entail on his heirs male, with remainder to the crown.[3] As all his sons from both his marriages died childless, the barony became the inheritance of King Richard II, who granted the barony to his half-brother John Holland, 1st Duke of Exeter, in tail-male.[3]

end

James married Baroness Joan de Mortimer, 2nd Baroness Geneville on 20 Sep 1301. Joan (daughter of Sir Roger de Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Baroness Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville) was born on 2 Feb 1286 in Ludlow Castle, Ludlow, Shropshire, England; died on 19 Oct 1356. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville, Countess of March, Baroness Mortimer (2 February 1286 – 19 October 1356), also known as Jeanne de Joinville, was the daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville and Joan of Lusignan. She inherited the estates of her grandparents, Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Baron Geneville, and Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville. She was one of the wealthiest heiresses in the Welsh Marches and County Meath, Ireland. She was the wife of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, the de facto ruler of England from 1327 to 1330. She succeeded as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville on 21 October 1314 upon the death of her grandfather, Geoffrey de Geneville.[1][2]

As a result of her husband's insurrection against King Edward II of England, she was imprisoned in Skipton Castle for two years. Following the execution of her husband in 1330 for usurping power in England, Joan was once more taken into custody. In 1336, her lands were restored to her after she received a full pardon for her late husband's crimes from Edward II's son and successor, Edward III of England.

Family and inheritance

Ludlow Castle in Shropshire, the birthplace of Joan de Geneville
Joan was born on 2 February 1286 at Ludlow Castle in Shropshire.[3] She was the eldest child of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow, whose father Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Baron Geneville, was Justiciar of Ireland. Her mother Jeanne of Lusignan was part of one of the most illustrious French families, daughter of Hugh XII of Lusignan, Count of La Marche and of Angoulãeme, and sister of Yolanda of Lusignan, the suo jure Countess of La Marche. Joan had two younger sisters, Matilda and Beatrice who both became nuns at Aconbury Priory.[4] She also had two half-sisters from her mother's first marriage to Bernard Ezi III, Lord of Albret: Mathe, Dame d'Albret (died 1283), and Isabelle, Dame d'Albret (died 1 December 1294), wife of Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac.

When her father died in Ireland shortly before June 1292, Joan became one of the wealthiest and most eligible heiresses in the Welsh Marches, with estates that included the town and castle of Ludlow, the lordship of Ewyas Lacy, the manors of Wolferlow, Stanton Lacy, and Mansell Lacy in Shropshire and Herefordshire as well as a sizeable portion of County Meath in Ireland.[5][6] She was due to inherit these upon the death of her grandfather, but in 1308, Baron Geneville conveyed most of the Irish estates which had belonged to his late wife Maud de Lacy to Joan and her husband Roger Mortimer. They both went to Ireland where they took seisin of Meath on 28 October of that same year. The baron died on 21 October 1314 at the House of the Friars Preachers at Trim, and Joan subsequently succeeded him, becoming the suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville.[1][2]

Marriage

Joan married Roger Mortimer, eldest son of Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Wigmore, and Margaret de Fiennes on 20 September 1301 at the manor of Pembridge.[7] Marriage to Joan was highly beneficial to Mortimer as it brought him much influence and prestige in addition to the rich estates he gained through their matrimonial alliance.[8][9] Three years later in 1304 he succeeded as Baron Mortimer, making Joan Baroness Mortimer. He was knighted on Whitsunday 22 May 1306 by King Edward I. The knighting ceremony took place in Westminster Abbey and was known as the Feast of the Swan as all those present made their personal vows upon two swans.[10] Two hundred and fifty-nine other young men received knighthoods along with Mortimer including the Prince of Wales who would shortly afterwards succeed his father as Edward II. Following the ceremony was a magnificent banquet held at the Great Hall of Westminster.[11]

Upon taking seizen of her Irish lands in 1308, Joan and Mortimer travelled back and forth between their estates in Ireland and those in the Welsh Marches. Given that Joan opted to accompany her husband to Ireland rather than remain at home, and that she produced 12 surviving children over a period of just 17 years led Roger Mortimer's biographer Ian Mortimer to suggest they enjoyed a closer and more affectionate relationship than was typical of noble couples in the 14th-century. He described their union as having been " a mutually beneficial secure medieval partnership".[12]

Issue

Together Joan and Mortimer had twelve surviving children:[12][13][14]


Effigies of Joan's daughter, Katherine Mortimer and her husband Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick. St. Mary's Church, Warwick
Margaret Mortimer (2 May 1304- 5 May 1337), married Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley, by whom she had issue.
Sir Edmund Mortimer (died 16 December 1331), married Elizabeth de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, and Margaret de Clare, by whom he had two sons, Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, and John, who died young.
Roger Mortimer, married Joan Le Botiller
Geoffrey Mortimer, Lord of Towyth (died 1372/5 May 1376), married Jeanne de Lezay, by whom he had issue.
John Mortimer. He was killed in a tournament at Shrewsbury sometime after 1328.
Katherine Mortimer (1314- 4 August 1369), married Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick, by whom she had fifteen children, including Thomas de Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, and William de Beauchamp, 1st Baron Bergavenny, who married Lady Joan FitzAlan.
Joan Mortimer (died between 1337–1351), married James Audley, 2nd Baron Audley, by whom she had issue.
Agnes Mortimer, married Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke, by whom she had issue
Isabella Mortimer (died after 1327)
Beatrice Mortimer (died 16 October 1383), married firstly Edward of Norfolk, and secondly, Thomas de Braose, 1st Baron Braose. She had issue by her second husband.
Maud Mortimer (died after August 1345), married John de Charlton, Lord of Powys, by whom she had issue.
Blanche Mortimer (c.1321- 1347), married Peter de Grandison, 2nd Baron Grandison, by whom she had issue.
Mortimer's affair with Queen Isabella[edit]

Joan's husband Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, is allegedly depicted in the foreground with Queen Isabella in this 14th-century manuscript illustration
Mortimer was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on 23 November 1316 and left for Ireland with a large force in February 1317.[15] While there, he fought against the Scots Army led by Edward Bruce, the younger brother of Robert the Bruce (who hoped to make Edward king of Ireland), and Bruce's Norman-Irish allies, the de Lacy's. Joan accompanied her husband to Ireland. They returned to England in 1318 after Mortimer had driven the Scots north to Carrickfergus, and dispersed the de Lacys, who were Joan's relatives. For the next few years, Mortimer occupied himself with baronial disputes on the Welsh border; nevertheless, on account of the increasing influence of Hugh Despenser, the Elder, and Hugh Despenser the Younger over King Edward II, Roger Mortimer became strongly disaffected with his monarch, especially after the younger Despenser had been granted lands which rightfully belonged to Mortimer.[16]

In October 1321 King Edward and his troops besieged Leeds Castle, after the governor's wife, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, refused Queen Isabella admittance and subsequently ordered her archers to fire upon Isabella and her escort after the latter attempted to gain entry to the castle. Elizabeth, the third Badlesmere daughter, was married to Joan and Mortimer's eldest son, Edmund. King Edward exploited his new popularity in the wake of his military victory at Leeds to recall to England the Despensers, whom the Lords Ordainers, led by Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, had forced him to banish in August 1321.[17] The Marcher lords, already in a state of insurrection for some time prior to the Despensers' banishment,[n 1] immediately rose up against the King in full force, with Mortimer leading the confederation alongside Ordainer Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.[18] The King quelled the rebellion, which is also known as the Despenser War; Mortimer and his uncle Roger Mortimer de Chirk both surrendered to him at Shrewsbury on 22 January 1322. Mortimer and his uncle were dispatched as prisoners to the Tower of London,[16] where they were kept in damp, unhealthy quarters. This was likely a factor in Roger Mortimer de Chirk's death in 1326. Joan's husband had fared better; by drugging the constable and the Tower guards, he managed to escape to France on 1 August 1323.[19] It was there that he later became the lover of Queen Isabella, who was estranged from the King as a result of the Despensers' absolute control over him. She had been sent to France on a peace mission by Edward but used the occasion to seek help from her brother, Charles IV to oust the Despensers.[20] The scandal of their love affair forced them to leave the French court for Flanders, where they obtained help for an invasion of England.[21]

Joan's imprisonment

Skipton Castle, Yorkshire, where Joan was imprisoned from 1324 to 1326
While the couple were still in France, King Edward had retaliated against Mortimer by taking Joan and all of their children into custody, and "treating them with severity".[22] In April 1324 Joan was removed from Hampshire where she had been confined in a lodging under house arrest and sent to Skipton Castle in Yorkshire; there she was imprisoned in a cell and endured considerable suffering and hardship.[23] Most of her household had been dismissed and she was permitted a small number of attendants to serve her. She was granted just one mark per day for her necessities, and out of this sum she had to feed her servants.[24] She was additionally allowed ten marks per annum at Easter and Michaelmas for new clothes.[25] Her daughters suffered worse privations having been locked up inside various religious houses with even less money at their disposal.[24] Joan was transferred from Skipton to Pontefract Castle in July 1326.[26]

Countess of March

Mortimer and Isabella landed in England two months later in September 1326, and they joined forces with Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster. On 16 November, King Edward was taken prisoner and eventually murdered at Berkeley Castle, presumably by Mortimer's hired assassins.[27] From 1327 to 1330, Mortimer and Isabella jointly held the Office of Regent for her son, King Edward III who was duly crowned following his father's death. Mortimer was made constable of Wallingford Castle; in September 1328, Mortimer was created Earl of March. This made Joan henceforth, the Countess of March; although it is not known what she thought about her husband's illegal assumption of power and flagrant affair with the Queen. What has been established is that Joan was never an active participant in her husband's insurrection against King Edward.[28]

Mortimer and Queen Isabella were the de facto rulers of England. Hostility against the power Mortimer wielded over the kingdom and the young King Edward III, increased; his former friend Henry of Lancaster encouraged the King to assert his authority to oust Mortimer. When Mortimer ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, half-brother of the late King Edward, anger and outrage engulfed the country. The King deposed his mother and her lover; Roger Mortimer was seized, arrested, and on 29 November 1330, hanged at Tyburn, London.[29]

Following her husband's execution, Joan – as the wife of a traitor – was imprisoned again, this time in Hampshire where years before she had been placed under house arrest; her children were also taken into custody. In 1331, she was given an allowance for household expenses; however, her lands were only restored to her in 1336 after King Edward III granted her a full pardon for her late husband's crimes. In 1347 she received back the Liberty of Trim.[30]

Death

Joan de Geneville, Baroness Geneville, the widowed Countess of March, died on 19 October 1356 at the age of seventy. She was buried in Wigmore Abbey beside her husband, whose body had been returned to her by Edward III as she had requested. Her tomb no longer exists as the abbey was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and only the ruins remain to this day.

Lady Geneville's numerous direct descendants include the current British Royal Family, Sir Winston Churchill, and the 1st American President George Washington.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: Knight of the Garter

Notes:

Ralph de Stafford, 2nd Baron Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford, KG (24 September 1301 - 31 August 1372) was an English nobleman and notable soldier during the Hundred Years War against France.

Early life and family

Ralph was born on 24 September 1301, the son of Edmund de Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford and Margaret Bassett.[1] Having lost his father at the age of seven, Ralph grew up in the midlands with his mother's relatives, including her second husband Thomas Pipe. He had his first experience of royal service, along with his brothers and stepfather, when he joined the retinue of Ralph, 2nd Lord Bassett.[2]

Career

Stafford was made a Knight banneret in 1327 and was fighting the Scots shortly afterwards. He supported the plot to free Edward III of England from the control of Roger Mortimer, which earned the king's gratitude. By the summer of 1332, he was a commissioner of the peace in Staffordshire and had served abroad on royal business, accompanying Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester. He was also still fighting the Scots, commanding archers at the Battle of Dupplin Moor on 11 Aug 1332 and on three further Scottish campaigns.[2]

He was first summoned to Parliament by writ as Lord Stafford on 29 November 1336 and continued to attend until 1350.

His military career continued, accompanying King Edward to France in 1338 as an advisor and being present at the naval battle of Sluys on 24 June 1340. He also fought at the relief of Brest and the siege of Morlaix. He was captured at Vannes but was exchanged in time to negotiate a truce at Malestroit.

On 6 January 1341, he was made Steward of the Royal Household but resigned that post on 29 March 1345 having assumed the office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, an English possession in France, where he stayed for about a year. Further battles included the battle of Auberoche, the siege of Aiguillon, from where he escaped prior to its lifting, a raid on Barfleur and the English victory at the Battle of Crecy, on 26 August 1346. He became one of the twenty-six founding members and the fifth Knight of the Order of the Garter in 1348.[2]

In November 1347, his wife's father died; they were able to take possession of his estates without paying the king's homage, an indication of the relationship between them. Ralph was now a very wealthy man, from his estates and from the many prizes from the French war.[2]

Edward III created a number of new peerage titles to honour his war captains and to mark his jubilee year. Ralph was created the 1st Earl of Stafford on 5 March 1350, with an annuity of 1000 marks. He now replaced Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster as the king's lieutenant in Gascony, he committed to serve with 200 men at his expense with the expectation of this being doubled in March 1353 at the king's expense. The campaigns provided several captives that were ransomed, but were ultimately unsuccessful, leading to the appointment of Edward, Prince of Wales to command.[2]

Even at the age of sixty, Stafford continued to command troops and act as a royal envoy, both in France and in Ireland in 1361, accompanying Lionel of Antwerp to try and restore English control.

Marriages and children

Around 1326, Stafford married his first wife, Katherine Hastang (also known as Katherine Hastings).[1][3] Katherine was the daughter of Sir John de Hastang, Knight, of Chebsey, Staffordshire.[4] Ralph and Katherine had two daughters:

Margaret, married Sir John of Bramshall (or Wickham) de Stafford, Knight.
Joan, married Sir Nicholas de Beke, Knight.
He later sensationally abducted Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley, daughter of Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Margaret de Clare, who was worth at least ¹2314 a year, more than ten times his own estates. Her parents filed a complaint with King Edward III of England, but the King supported Stafford's actions. In compensation, the King appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh the 1st Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before 6 July 1336 and they subsequently had two sons and four daughters:

Ralph de Stafford (d. 1347), married Maud of Lancaster, daughter of Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster and Isabel de Beaumont in 1344.[2][5]
Hugh de Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford, born circa 1336 in Staffordshire, England, married Philippa de Beauchamp; they were the ancestors of the Dukes of Buckingham (1444 creation).[5]
Elizabeth de Stafford, born circa 1340 in Staffordshire, England, died 7 August 1376, married firstly Fulk le Strange;[5] married secondly, John de Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Chartley; married thirdly Reginald de Cobham, 2nd Baron Cobham.[6]
Beatrice de Stafford, born circa 1341 in Staffordshire, England, died 1415, married firstly, in 1350, Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Desmond (d. June 1358); married secondly, Thomas de Ros, 4th Baron de Ros, of Helmsley; married thirdly Sir Richard Burley, Knt.[5]
Joan de Stafford, born in 1344 in Staffordshire, England, died 1397, married firstly, John Charleton, 3rd Baron Cherleton;[5] married secondly Gilbert Talbot, 3rd Baron Talbot.[7]
Katherine de Stafford, born circa 1348 in Staffordshire, England and died in December 1361. On 25 December 1357, she married Sir John de Sutton III (1339 – c. 1370 or 1376), Knight, Master of Dudley Castle, Staffordshire.[8] They were parents of Sir John de Sutton IV, hence grandparents of Sir John de Sutton V.[9]
Death[edit]
He died on 31 August 1372 at Tonbridge Castle, Kent, England.[2] He was buried at Tonbridge Priory,[10] next to his second wife and her parents.[2]

Buried:
Tonbridge Priory was a priory in Tonbridge , Kent , England that was established in 1124. It was destroyed by fire in 1337 and then rebuilt. The priory was disestablished in 1523.

The building stood in 1735, but was a ruin by 1780. The remains of the priory were demolished in 1842 when the South Eastern Railway built the railway through Tonbridge, the original Tonbridge station standing on its site.

Ralph married Katherine Hastang. Katherine was born in 1305; died in 1336. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Ralph de Stafford, 2nd Baron Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford, KG (24 September 1301 - 31 August 1372) was an English nobleman and notable soldier during the Hundred Years War against France.

Early life and family

Ralph was born on 24 September 1301, the son of Edmund de Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford and Margaret Bassett.[1] Having lost his father at the age of seven, Ralph grew up in the midlands with his mother's relatives, including her second husband Thomas Pipe. He had his first experience of royal service, along with his brothers and stepfather, when he joined the retinue of Ralph, 2nd Lord Bassett.[2]

Career

Stafford was made a Knight banneret in 1327 and was fighting the Scots shortly afterwards. He supported the plot to free Edward III of England from the control of Roger Mortimer, which earned the king's gratitude. By the summer of 1332, he was a commissioner of the peace in Staffordshire and had served abroad on royal business, accompanying Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester. He was also still fighting the Scots, commanding archers at the Battle of Dupplin Moor on 11 Aug 1332 and on three further Scottish campaigns.[2]

He was first summoned to Parliament by writ as Lord Stafford on 29 November 1336 and continued to attend until 1350.

His military career continued, accompanying King Edward to France in 1338 as an advisor and being present at the naval battle of Sluys on 24 June 1340. He also fought at the relief of Brest and the siege of Morlaix. He was captured at Vannes but was exchanged in time to negotiate a truce at Malestroit.

On 6 January 1341, he was made Steward of the Royal Household but resigned that post on 29 March 1345 having assumed the office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, an English possession in France, where he stayed for about a year. Further battles included the battle of Auberoche, the siege of Aiguillon, from where he escaped prior to its lifting, a raid on Barfleur and the English victory at the Battle of Crecy, on 26 August 1346. He became one of the twenty-six founding members and the fifth Knight of the Order of the Garter in 1348.[2]

In November 1347, his wife's father died; they were able to take possession of his estates without paying the king's homage, an indication of the relationship between them. Ralph was now a very wealthy man, from his estates and from the many prizes from the French war.[2]

Edward III created a number of new peerage titles to honour his war captains and to mark his jubilee year. Ralph was created the 1st Earl of Stafford on 5 March 1350, with an annuity of 1000 marks. He now replaced Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster as the king's lieutenant in Gascony, he committed to serve with 200 men at his expense with the expectation of this being doubled in March 1353 at the king's expense. The campaigns provided several captives that were ransomed, but were ultimately unsuccessful, leading to the appointment of Edward, Prince of Wales to command.[2]

Even at the age of sixty, Stafford continued to command troops and act as a royal envoy, both in France and in Ireland in 1361, accompanying Lionel of Antwerp to try and restore English control.

Marriages and children

Around 1326, Stafford married his first wife, Katherine Hastang (also known as Katherine Hastings).[1][3] Katherine was the daughter of Sir John de Hastang, Knight, of Chebsey, Staffordshire.[4] Ralph and Katherine had two daughters:

Margaret, married Sir John of Bramshall (or Wickham) de Stafford, Knight.
Joan, married Sir Nicholas de Beke, Knight.
He later sensationally abducted Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley, daughter of Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Margaret de Clare, who was worth at least ¹2314 a year, more than ten times his own estates. Her parents filed a complaint with King Edward III of England, but the King supported Stafford's actions. In compensation, the King appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh the 1st Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before 6 July 1336 and they subsequently had two sons and four daughters:

Ralph de Stafford (d. 1347), married Maud of Lancaster, daughter of Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster and Isabel de Beaumont in 1344.[2][5]
Hugh de Stafford, 2nd Earl of Stafford, born circa 1336 in Staffordshire, England, married Philippa de Beauchamp; they were the ancestors of the Dukes of Buckingham (1444 creation).[5]
Elizabeth de Stafford, born circa 1340 in Staffordshire, England, died 7 August 1376, married firstly Fulk le Strange;[5] married secondly, John de Ferrers, 3rd Baron Ferrers of Chartley; married thirdly Reginald de Cobham, 2nd Baron Cobham.[6]
Beatrice de Stafford, born circa 1341 in Staffordshire, England, died 1415, married firstly, in 1350, Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Earl of Desmond (d. June 1358); married secondly, Thomas de Ros, 4th Baron de Ros, of Helmsley; married thirdly Sir Richard Burley, Knt.[5]
Joan de Stafford, born in 1344 in Staffordshire, England, died 1397, married firstly, John Charleton, 3rd Baron Cherleton;[5] married secondly Gilbert Talbot, 3rd Baron Talbot.[7]
Katherine de Stafford, born circa 1348 in Staffordshire, England and died in December 1361. On 25 December 1357, she married Sir John de Sutton III (1339 – c. 1370 or 1376), Knight, Master of Dudley Castle, Staffordshire.[8] They were parents of Sir John de Sutton IV, hence grandparents of Sir John de Sutton V.[9]
Death[edit]
He died on 31 August 1372 at Tonbridge Castle, Kent, England.[2] He was buried at Tonbridge Priory,[10] next to his second wife and her parents.[2]

Marriage

The de Turberville family held the Lordship of Coity from c. 1092 to 1360, which had been founded by Sir Payn de Turberville, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan of Robert FitzHamon, 1st. Lord of Glamorgan.

Richard de Turberville, seemingly his 6th great grandson, died in 1384 without male heir, leaving his four sisters as co-heiresses:

Katherine de Turberville, the eldest, had married Sir Roger Berkerolles (d.1351), another descendant of one of the Twelve Knights of Glamorgan, of East Orchard, St Athan. The tomb effigies of Katherine and Sir Roger can be seen in St Athan's Church. Their son was Sir Lawrence Berkerolles (d.1411), the last of the Berkerolles, who died without progeny.
Margaret de Turberville, the second daughter, married Sir Richard Stackpole, whose daughter Joan Stackpole married Sir Richard Verney.
Agnes de Turberville, the third daughter, married Sir John de la Bere of Weobly Castle, Gower.
Sarah de Turberville, the fourth and youngest, married William Gamage of Rogiet.[1]

Notes

Did they have a son, John?

Son Richard's bio states he is the "second son". Plus: "Little is known of his early life, but he no doubt grew up in the shadow of is elder brother, John, and was lucky to have escaped a life in the church." [2]

And, from the Coity Castle Wikipedia entry: "Thomas de la Bere died as a minor on 28 October 1414, following which the lordship reverted to Sarah de Turberville, the youngest sister of Richard de Turberville, who had apparently produced male progeny from her marriage to William Gamage."

That seems to tie in with a Post Mortem Inquisition for a John de la Bere, who died in 1403, Inquisition delayed until 1410. His heir, Thomas, then still only 9, was a king's ward. His property was being held by John St John, son of Elizabeth de la Bere, who is said to be a daughter and one of the heirs of Agnes de la Bere. [3][4]

And ...

"Thomas de la Bere, who was born ca. 1402 (aged 9 in 1411), died 28 Oct. 1414. He was son of John de la Bere who died 24 Sep. 1403, which John was born about 1383 as he was aged 15 in 1397/8 when an inquisition was taken by Sir John St. John, which found that his father Sir John de la Bere of Weobley, co. Hereford, died in 1380. This Sir John, knight, would have been born say 1335-45, so he either did not marry until later in life, or had no issue by a first marriage." [5]
The 1397 "inquisition" actually seems to be copied parts of multiple earlier inquisitions and the heir John may have been 15 back in 1380, when the original inquisition took place.

"The Calendar of Fine Rolls (CFR 14:101) states that certain lands in and around Coytyff came into the hands of Laurence Berkerolles by reason of the minority of Thomas de la Bere, son of John. John Seint John 'chivaler' son of Elizabeth one of the sisters of John de la Bere 'chivaler' the father of John the father of the said Thomas de la Bere, and John Basset, esquire, son of Margaret the second sister of the said John de la Beer 'chivaler' are the next heirs, and of full age." [6]
Thomas (d. 1414), son of John (d. 1403), son of John (d. 1380), son of this John?

Biography

Also called Sir John Giffard of Brimsfield. Arms: Gules, three lions passant, in pale, argent, and langued, azure. He was summoned by writ directed "Johanni Giffard de Brimmesfeld" in 1283. John was summoned to parliament by Edward I "Longshanks", King of England on 23 June 1295 as Lord Giffard of Brimsfield. 1st Lord Giffard of Brimsfield, Gloucestershire, England, 23 June 1295.

"Still a minor at his father's death. He joined several other Barons and seized the Bishop of Hereford 11 Jun 1263, taking him to Eardisley Castle, and on 18 Sep following, he was among those who made a treaty with Edward, the King's son. In 1264, as a member of the Baronial party, and being in command of Kenilworth Castle, he surprised and destroyed Warwick Castle, taking the Earl and Countess prisoners. He was at the battle of Lewes, where he was taken prisoner. He changed sides together with the Earl of Gloucester and others, and was in the King's army at the battle of Evesham 4 Aug 1265. In consideration of his services at this battle, he was pardoned on 9 Oct 1265 for having been an adherent of Simon de Montfort at Lewes and for all trespasses committed up to that time. Thenceforth he appears to have been in the King's grace; he was one of the commissioners empowered to make a truce between Llewelyn ap Gruffyd, Prince of Wales, and Humphrey de Bohun of Brecknock, and had license to hunt wolves, with his own hounds, throughout all the King's forests in England. The King granted him, in fee, the commote of Is-Cennen in Carmarthen, and the castle of Dynevor, for life, and he was appointed Keeper of the castles of Llandovery in Carmarthen, and that of Builth in Brecknock. He was summoned for military service from 18 Jul 1257 to 7 May 1299, to attend the King at Shrewsbury, 28 Jun 1283, and at Salisbury, 26 Jan 1296/97, and to Parliament from 24 Jun 1295 to Apr 1299, whereby he became Lord Giffard. He was affianced to Aubrey de Camville at age 4 years, but did not marry her. He abducted his future first wife, Maud, widow of Sir William Longespee, against her will, for which John, appearing before the King, offered to pay a fine of 300 marks, to which the King ordained that if she were not content, the said fine should be void. She was still living 1 Dec 1281, but died s.p.m. not long after. John Giffard married secondly, in 1286, Margaret, the widow of Sir John de Neville. They had a son, John Giffard, who died s.p., when the descendants of two of his four half-sisters, namely Katherine and Alianore, were found to be his heirs."

"He died at his house at Boyton, Wiltshire, on 29 May 1299, and was buried on 11 June at Malmesbury Abbey. His wife Matilda had died in or soon after 1281, and he had married in 1286 Margaret, widow of John de Neville (d. 1282). She died in 1338. Giffard left several children. He had three daughters with his first wife: Katherine, who married Nicholas Audley, Eleanor, and Matilda, still unmarried in 1299, who (with an elder half-sister) shared the Clifford inheritance from their mother. His only son, also John Giffard, was born to his second wife in or about 1287, and remained in wardship until 1308, when he inherited the lordship of Brimpsfield and the rest of his father's acquisitions. The elder John Giffard's career is not without interest. His passionate involvement with the politics of the later Henrician monarchy, and his fitful relationship with the Lord Edward, dominated his young adulthood. His later years, following his final frenzied behaviour over Matilda Longespâee, are a marked contrast. He settled into the mould of the Edwardian magnate, his career revolving around public service, the king's military ambitions, and his own financial and estate interests. His foundation of Gloucester Hall at Oxford (1283?4), as a Benedictine house within the university for students from the ancient abbey his family had long patronized, is an interesting manifestation of a new direction in aristocratic patronage, and is directly comparable with the patronage of Merton College by Sir Richard de Harcourt, another middle-ranking Edwardian aristocrat."

Notes:

Early life

Mortimer, grandson of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Mortimer and Maud de Braose, Baroness Mortimer, was born at Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, England, the firstborn of Marcher Lord Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, and Margaret de Fiennes. Edmund Mortimer had been a second son, intended for minor orders and a clerical career, but on the sudden death of his elder brother Ralph, Edmund was recalled from Oxford University and installed as heir. According to his biographer Ian Mortimer, Roger was possibly sent as a boy away from home to be fostered in the household of his formidable uncle, Roger Mortimer de Chirk.[2] It was this uncle who had carried the severed head of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Wales to King Edward I in 1282.[3] Like many noble children of his time, Roger was betrothed young, to Joan de Geneville (born 1286), the wealthy daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow. They were married on 20 September 1301. Their first child was born in 1302.[4]

Marriage

Through his marriage with Joan de Geneville, Roger not only acquired increased possessions in the Welsh Marches, including the important Ludlow Castle, which became the chief stronghold of the Mortimers, but also extensive estates and influence in Ireland. However, Joan de Geneville was not an "heiress" at the time of her marriage. Her grandfather Geoffrey de Geneville, at the age of eighty in 1308, conveyed most, but not all, of his Irish lordships to Roger Mortimer, and then retired, notably alive: he finally died in 1314, with Joan succeeding as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville. During his lifetime Geoffrey also conveyed much of the remainder of his legacy, such as Kenlys, to his younger son Simon de Geneville, who had meanwhile become Baron of Culmullin through marriage to Joanna FitzLeon. Roger Mortimer therefore succeeded to the eastern part of the Lordship of Meath, centred on Trim and its stronghold of Trim Castle. He did not succeed, however, to the Lordship of Fingal.[5]

Military adventures in Ireland and Wales

Roger Mortimer's childhood came to an abrupt end when his father was mortally wounded in a skirmish near Builth in July 1304. Since Roger was underage at the death of his father, he was placed by King Edward I under the guardianship of Piers Gaveston, 1st Earl of Cornwall. However, on 22 May 1306, in a lavish ceremony in Westminster Abbey with two hundred and fifty-nine others, he was knighted by Edward and granted livery of his full inheritance.[6]

His adult life began in earnest in 1308, when he went to Ireland in person to enforce his authority. This brought him into conflict with the de Lacys, who turned for support to Edward Bruce, brother of Robert Bruce, King of Scots. Mortimer was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by Edward II on 23 November 1316. Shortly afterwards, at the head of a large army, he drove Bruce to Carrickfergus and the de Lacys into Connaught, wreaking vengeance on their adherents whenever they were to be found. He returned to England and Wales in 1318[7] and was then occupied for some years with baronial disputes on the Welsh border.

Opposition to Edward II

Main article: Despenser War
Mortimer became disaffected with his king and joined the growing opposition to Edward II and the Despensers. After the younger Despenser was granted lands belonging to him, he and the Marchers began conducting devastating raids against Despenser property in Wales. He supported Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford, in refusing to obey the king's summons to appear before him in 1321. Mortimer led a march against London, his men wearing the Mortimer uniform which was green with a yellow sleeve.[8] He was prevented from entering the capital, although his forces put it under siege. These acts of insurrection compelled the Lords Ordainers led by Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, to order the king to banish the Despensers in August. When the king led a successful expedition in October against Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, after she had refused Queen Isabella admittance to Leeds Castle, he used his victory and new popularity among the moderate lords and the people to summon the Despensers back to England. Mortimer, in company with other Marcher Lords, led a rebellion against Edward, which is known as the Despenser War, at the end of the year.[citation needed]

Forced to surrender to the king at Shrewsbury in January 1322, Mortimer was consigned to the Tower of London, but by drugging the constable, escaped to France in August 1323, pursued by warrants for his capture dead or alive.[9] In the following year Queen Isabella, anxious to escape from her husband, obtained his consent to her going to France to use her influence with her brother, King Charles IV, in favour of peace. At the French court the queen found Roger Mortimer, who became her lover soon afterwards. At his instigation, she refused to return to England so long as the Despensers retained power as the king's favourites.

Historians have speculated as to the date at which Mortimer and Isabella actually became lovers.[10] The modern view is that it began while both were still in England, and that after a disagreement, Isabella abandoned Roger to his fate in the Tower. His subsequent escape became one of medieval England's most colourful episodes. However almost certainly Isabella risked everything by chancing Mortimer's companionship and emotional support when they first met again at Paris four years later (Christmas 1325). King Charles IV's protection of Isabella at the French court from Despenser's would-be assassins played a large part in developing the relationship.[11] In 1326, Mortimer moved as Prince Edward's guardian to Hainault, but only after a furious dispute with the queen, demanding she remain in France.[12] Isabella retired to raise troops in her County of Ponthieu; Mortimer arranged the invasion fleet supplied by the Hainaulters.

Invasion of England and defeat of Edward II

The scandal of Isabella's relations with Mortimer compelled them both to withdraw from the French court to Flanders, where they obtained assistance for an invasion of England from Count William of Hainaut, although Isabella did not arrive from Ponthieu until the fleet was due to sail. Landing in the River Orwell on 24 September 1326, they were accompanied by Prince Edward and Henry, Earl of Lancaster. London rose in support of the queen, and Edward took flight to the west, pursued by Mortimer and Isabella. After wandering helplessly for some weeks in Wales, the king was taken prisoner on 16 November, and was compelled to abdicate in favour of his son. Though the latter was crowned as Edward III of England on 25 January 1327, the country was ruled by Mortimer and Isabella, who were widely believed to have arranged the murder of Edward II the following September at Berkeley Castle.[citation needed]

Historian and biographer of Roger Mortimer and Edward III, Ian Mortimer, retells the old story that the ex-king was not killed and buried in 1327, but secretly remained alive at Corfe Castle. When Mortimer besieged the castle, Edward II was said to escape to Rome, where he stayed under papal protection.[13]

Powers won and lost

Rich estates and offices of profit and power were now heaped on Mortimer. He was made constable of Wallingford Castle and in September 1328 he was created Earl of March. However, although in military terms he was far more competent than the Despensers, his ambition was troubling to all. His own son Geoffrey, the only one to survive into old age, mocked him as "the king of folly." During his short time as ruler of England he took over the lordships of Denbigh, Oswestry, and Clun (the first of which belonged to Despenser, the latter two had been the Earl of Arundel's). He was also granted the marcher lordship of Montgomery by the queen.[citation needed]


The "Tyburn Tree"

The jealousy and anger of many nobles were aroused by Mortimer's use of power. Henry, Earl of Lancaster, one of the principals behind Edward II's deposition, tried to overthrow Mortimer, but the action was ineffective as the young king passively stood by. Then, in March 1330, Mortimer ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the half-brother of Edward II. After this execution Henry Lancaster prevailed upon the young king, Edward III, to assert his independence. In October 1330, a Parliament was summoned to Nottingham, just days before Edward's eighteenth birthday, and Mortimer and Isabella were seized by Edward and his companions from inside Nottingham Castle. In spite of Isabella's entreaty to her son, "Fair son, have pity on the gentle Mortimer," Mortimer was conveyed to the Tower. Accused of assuming royal power and of various other high misdemeanours, he was condemned without trial and ignominiously hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1330, his vast estates forfeited to the crown. His body hung at the gallows for two days and nights in full view of the populace. Mortimer's widow Joan received a pardon in 1336 and survived till 1356. She was buried beside Mortimer at Wigmore, but the site was later destroyed.[14]

In 2002, the actor John Challis, the current owner of the remaining buildings of Wigmore Abbey, invited the BBC programme House Detectives at Large to investigate his property. During the investigation, a document was discovered in which Mortimer's widow Joan petitioned Edward III for the return of her husband's body so she could bury it at Wigmore Abbey. Mortimer's lover Isabella had buried his body at Greyfriars in Coventry following his hanging. Edward III replied, "Let his body rest in peace." The king later relented, and Mortimer's body was transferred to Wigmore Abbey, where Joan was later buried beside him.[citation needed]

Children of Roger and Joan

The marriages of Mortimer's children (three sons and eight daughters) cemented Mortimer's strengths in the West.

Sir Edmund Mortimer knt (1302-1331), married Elizabeth de Badlesmere; they produced Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March, who was restored to his grandfather's title.
Margaret Mortimer (1304 - 5 May 1337), married Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley

Katherine Mortimer (c. 1314-1369), married Thomas de Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick
Agnes Mortimer (c. 1317-1368), married Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke
Beatrice Mortimer (d. 16 October 1383), who married firstly, Edward of Norfolk (d. before 9 August 1334), son and heir apparent of Thomas of Brotherton, by whom she had no issue, and secondly, before 13 September 1337, Thomas de Brewes (d. 9 or 16 June 1361), by whom she had three sons and three daughters.[16]
Blanche Mortimer (c. 1321-1347), married Peter de Grandison, 2nd Baron Grandison

Royal descendants

Through his son Sir Edmund Mortimer, he is an ancestor of the last Plantagenet monarchs of England from King Edward IV to Richard III. By Edward IV's daughter, Elizabeth of York, the Earl of March is an ancestor to King Henry VIII and to all subsequent monarchs of England.

Roger Mortimer, 1st earl of March, (born 1287?—died Nov. 29, 1330, Tyburn, near London, Eng.), lover of the English king Edward II’s queen, Isabella of France, with whom he contrived Edward’s deposition and murder (1327). For three years thereafter he was virtual king of England during the minority of Edward III.

The descendant of Norman knights who had accompanied William the Conqueror, he inherited wealthy family estates and fortunes, principally in Wales and Ireland, and in 1304 became 8th Baron of Wigmore on the death of his father, the 7th baron. He devoted the early years of his majority to obtaining effective control of his Irish lordships against his wife’s kinsmen, the Lacys, who summoned to their aid Edward Bruce, brother of King Robert I of Scotland, when he was fighting to become king of Ireland. In 1316 Mortimer was defeated at Kells and withdrew to England, but afterward, as King Edward II’s lieutenant in Ireland (November 1316), he was largely instrumental in overcoming Bruce and in driving the Lacys from Meath.

In 1317 he was associated with the Earl of Pembroke’s “middle party” in English politics; but distrust of the Despensers (see Despenser, Hugh Le and Hugh Le) drove him, in common with other marcher lords, into opposition and violent conflict with the Despensers in South Wales in 1321. But, receiving no help from Edward II’s other enemies, Roger and his uncle Roger Mortimer of Chirk made their submission in January 1322. Imprisoned in the Tower of London, Roger escaped in 1323 and fled to France, where in 1325 he was joined by Queen Isabella, who became his mistress. The exiles invaded England in September 1326; the fall of the Despensers was followed by the deposition of Edward II and his subsequent murder (1327), in which Mortimer was deeply implicated.

Thereafter, as the queen’s paramour, Mortimer virtually ruled England. He used his position to further his own ends. Created Earl of March in October 1328, he secured for himself the lordships of Denbigh, Oswestry, and Clun, formerly belonging to the Earl of Arundel; the marcher lordships of the Mortimers of Chirk; and Montgomery, granted to him by the queen. His insatiable avarice, his arrogance, and his unpopular policy toward Scotland aroused against Mortimer a general revulsion among his fellow barons, and in October 1330 the young king Edward III, at the instigation of Henry of Lancaster, had him seized at Nottingham and conveyed to the Tower. Condemned for crimes declared to be notorious by his peers in Parliament, he was hanged at Tyburn as a traitor, and his estates were forfeited to the crown.

One night in August 1323, a captive rebel baron, Sir Roger Mortimer, drugged his guards and escaped from the Tower of London. With the king's men-at-arms in pursuit he fled to the south coast and sailed to France. There he was joined by Isabella, the Queen of England, who threw herself into his arms.

A year later, as lovers, they returned with an invading army: King Edward II's forces crumbled before them and Mortimer took power. He removed Edward II in the first deposition of a monarch in British history. Then the ex-king was apparently murdered, some said with a red-hot poker, in Berkeley Castle.

Roger married Baroness Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville on 20 Sep 1301. Joan (daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville and Joan of Lusigman, 2nd Baroness Geneville) was born on 2 Feb 1286 in Ludlow Castle, Shropshire, England; died on 19 Oct 1396 in King's Stanley, Gloucestershire, England; was buried in Wigmore Abbey, Wigmore, Herefordshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville, Countess of March, Baroness Mortimer (2 February 1286 – 19 October 1356), also known as Jeanne de Joinville, was the daughter of Sir Piers de Geneville and Joan of Lusignan. She inherited the estates of her grandparents, Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Baron Geneville, and Maud de Lacy, Baroness Geneville. She was one of the wealthiest heiresses in the Welsh Marches and County Meath, Ireland. She was the wife of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, the de facto ruler of England from 1327 to 1330. She succeeded as suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville on 21 October 1314 upon the death of her grandfather, Geoffrey de Geneville.[1][2]

As a result of her husband's insurrection against King Edward II of England, she was imprisoned in Skipton Castle for two years. Following the execution of her husband in 1330 for usurping power in England, Joan was once more taken into custody. In 1336, her lands were restored to her after she received a full pardon for her late husband's crimes from Edward II's son and successor, Edward III of England.

Family and inheritance

Ludlow Castle in Shropshire, the birthplace of Joan de Geneville
Joan was born on 2 February 1286 at Ludlow Castle in Shropshire.[3] She was the eldest child of Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow, whose father Sir Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Baron Geneville, was Justiciar of Ireland. Her mother Jeanne of Lusignan was part of one of the most illustrious French families, daughter of Hugh XII of Lusignan, Count of La Marche and of Angoulãeme, and sister of Yolanda of Lusignan, the suo jure Countess of La Marche. Joan had two younger sisters, Matilda and Beatrice who both became nuns at Aconbury Priory.[4] She also had two half-sisters from her mother's first marriage to Bernard Ezi III, Lord of Albret: Mathe, Dame d'Albret (died 1283), and Isabelle, Dame d'Albret (died 1 December 1294), wife of Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac.

When her father died in Ireland shortly before June 1292, Joan became one of the wealthiest and most eligible heiresses in the Welsh Marches, with estates that included the town and castle of Ludlow, the lordship of Ewyas Lacy, the manors of Wolferlow, Stanton Lacy, and Mansell Lacy in Shropshire and Herefordshire as well as a sizeable portion of County Meath in Ireland.[5][6] She was due to inherit these upon the death of her grandfather, but in 1308, Baron Geneville conveyed most of the Irish estates which had belonged to his late wife Maud de Lacy to Joan and her husband Roger Mortimer. They both went to Ireland where they took seisin of Meath on 28 October of that same year. The baron died on 21 October 1314 at the House of the Friars Preachers at Trim, and Joan subsequently succeeded him, becoming the suo jure 2nd Baroness Geneville.[1][2]

Marriage

Joan married Roger Mortimer, eldest son of Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Wigmore, and Margaret de Fiennes on 20 September 1301 at the manor of Pembridge.[7] Marriage to Joan was highly beneficial to Mortimer as it brought him much influence and prestige in addition to the rich estates he gained through their matrimonial alliance.[8][9] Three years later in 1304 he succeeded as Baron Mortimer, making Joan Baroness Mortimer. He was knighted on Whitsunday 22 May 1306 by King Edward I. The knighting ceremony took place in Westminster Abbey and was known as the Feast of the Swan as all those present made their personal vows upon two swans.[10] Two hundred and fifty-nine other young men received knighthoods along with Mortimer including the Prince of Wales who would shortly afterwards succeed his father as Edward II. Following the ceremony was a magnificent banquet held at the Great Hall of Westminster.[11]

Upon taking seizen of her Irish lands in 1308, Joan and Mortimer travelled back and forth between their estates in Ireland and those in the Welsh Marches. Given that Joan opted to accompany her husband to Ireland rather than remain at home, and that she produced 12 surviving children over a period of just 17 years led Roger Mortimer's biographer Ian Mortimer to suggest they enjoyed a closer and more affectionate relationship than was typical of noble couples in the 14th-century. He described their union as having been " a mutually beneficial secure medieval partnership".[12]

Mortimer's affair with Queen Isabella[edit]

Joan's husband Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March, is allegedly depicted in the foreground with Queen Isabella in this 14th-century manuscript illustration
Mortimer was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on 23 November 1316 and left for Ireland with a large force in February 1317.[15] While there, he fought against the Scots Army led by Edward Bruce, the younger brother of Robert the Bruce (who hoped to make Edward king of Ireland), and Bruce's Norman-Irish allies, the de Lacy's. Joan accompanied her husband to Ireland. They returned to England in 1318 after Mortimer had driven the Scots north to Carrickfergus, and dispersed the de Lacys, who were Joan's relatives. For the next few years, Mortimer occupied himself with baronial disputes on the Welsh border; nevertheless, on account of the increasing influence of Hugh Despenser, the Elder, and Hugh Despenser the Younger over King Edward II, Roger Mortimer became strongly disaffected with his monarch, especially after the younger Despenser had been granted lands which rightfully belonged to Mortimer.[16]

In October 1321 King Edward and his troops besieged Leeds Castle, after the governor's wife, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere, refused Queen Isabella admittance and subsequently ordered her archers to fire upon Isabella and her escort after the latter attempted to gain entry to the castle. Elizabeth, the third Badlesmere daughter, was married to Joan and Mortimer's eldest son, Edmund. King Edward exploited his new popularity in the wake of his military victory at Leeds to recall to England the Despensers, whom the Lords Ordainers, led by Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster, had forced him to banish in August 1321.[17] The Marcher lords, already in a state of insurrection for some time prior to the Despensers' banishment,[n 1] immediately rose up against the King in full force, with Mortimer leading the confederation alongside Ordainer Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford.[18] The King quelled the rebellion, which is also known as the Despenser War; Mortimer and his uncle Roger Mortimer de Chirk both surrendered to him at Shrewsbury on 22 January 1322. Mortimer and his uncle were dispatched as prisoners to the Tower of London,[16] where they were kept in damp, unhealthy quarters. This was likely a factor in Roger Mortimer de Chirk's death in 1326. Joan's husband had fared better; by drugging the constable and the Tower guards, he managed to escape to France on 1 August 1323.[19] It was there that he later became the lover of Queen Isabella, who was estranged from the King as a result of the Despensers' absolute control over him. She had been sent to France on a peace mission by Edward but used the occasion to seek help from her brother, Charles IV to oust the Despensers.[20] The scandal of their love affair forced them to leave the French court for Flanders, where they obtained help for an invasion of England.[21]

Joan's imprisonment

Skipton Castle, Yorkshire, where Joan was imprisoned from 1324 to 1326

While the couple were still in France, King Edward had retaliated against Mortimer by taking Joan and all of their children into custody, and "treating them with severity".[22] In April 1324 Joan was removed from Hampshire where she had been confined in a lodging under house arrest and sent to Skipton Castle in Yorkshire; there she was imprisoned in a cell and endured considerable suffering and hardship.[23] Most of her household had been dismissed and she was permitted a small number of attendants to serve her. She was granted just one mark per day for her necessities, and out of this sum she had to feed her servants.[24] She was additionally allowed ten marks per annum at Easter and Michaelmas for new clothes.[25] Her daughters suffered worse privations having been locked up inside various religious houses with even less money at their disposal.[24] Joan was transferred from Skipton to Pontefract Castle in July 1326.[26]

Countess of March

Mortimer and Isabella landed in England two months later in September 1326, and they joined forces with Henry, 3rd Earl of Lancaster. On 16 November, King Edward was taken prisoner and eventually murdered at Berkeley Castle, presumably by Mortimer's hired assassins.[27] From 1327 to 1330, Mortimer and Isabella jointly held the Office of Regent for her son, King Edward III who was duly crowned following his father's death. Mortimer was made constable of Wallingford Castle; in September 1328, Mortimer was created Earl of March. This made Joan henceforth, the Countess of March; although it is not known what she thought about her husband's illegal assumption of power and flagrant affair with the Queen. What has been established is that Joan was never an active participant in her husband's insurrection against King Edward.[28]

Mortimer and Queen Isabella were the de facto rulers of England. Hostility against the power Mortimer wielded over the kingdom and the young King Edward III, increased; his former friend Henry of Lancaster encouraged the King to assert his authority to oust Mortimer. When Mortimer ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, half-brother of the late King Edward, anger and outrage engulfed the country. The King deposed his mother and her lover; Roger Mortimer was seized, arrested, and on 29 November 1330, hanged at Tyburn, London.[29]

Following her husband's execution, Joan – as the wife of a traitor – was imprisoned again, this time in Hampshire where years before she had been placed under house arrest; her children were also taken into custody. In 1331, she was given an allowance for household expenses; however, her lands were only restored to her in 1336 after King Edward III granted her a full pardon for her late husband's crimes. In 1347 she received back the Liberty of Trim.[30]

Death

Joan de Geneville, Baroness Geneville, the widowed Countess of March, died on 19 October 1356 at the age of seventy. She was buried in Wigmore Abbey beside her husband, whose body had been returned to her by Edward III as she had requested. Her tomb no longer exists as the abbey was destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and only the ruins remain to this day.

Lady Geneville's numerous direct descendants include the current British Royal Family, Sir Winston Churchill, and the 1st American President George Washington.

Almost nothing is known about Maud de Verdun. Her existence is an inference.

Chris Phillips writes in Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage, under Volume 6: Grey of Wilton (PROPOSED CORRECTIONS):

Volume 6, page 174:
He [John (de Grey), Lord Grey (of Wilton) (died 1323)] married 1stly (it is said), Anne, daughter of Sir William DE FERRERS, of Groby, co. Leicester, by his 1st wife, Anne, da. of Sir Hugh LE DESPENSER, of Ryhall, Rutland, Loughborough, co. Leicester, Parlington, co. York, &c. He m., 2ndly, Maud, who is said to have been daughter of Sir Ralph BASSET, of Drayton, co. Stafford, by Margaret, daughter of Sir Roger DE SOMERY, of Dudley, co. Worcester.
Douglas Richardson, in January 2002, provided evidence that John's wife in 1277 was called Maud, and suggested that she was the daughter of John de Verdun (d. 1274), by his second wife Eleanor, who was apparently a Bohun [citing Essex Feet of Fines, vol. 2, p. 13, a fine by which Eleanor settled lands in Debden, Essex, on John and Maud, in Trinity Term, 5 Edward I]. He also pointed out that Blore [History and Antiquities of the County of Rutland, pp. 164, 165 (1811)] identifies a wife of John de Grey as "Matilda, daughter of John de Verdun".
The evidence suggests further that Maud was the mother of John's sons Henry and Roger (who later disputed the manor of Weldebernes, in Debden [citing Index of Placita de Banco, 1327-1328, part 1, p. 143 (P.R.O. Lists and Indexes, no 32)]) and his daughter Joan (whose daughter Margaret was found to be related in the fourth degree to her husband John de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex (died 1335/6) [citing Calendar of Papal Letters, vol. 2, p. 349]).

Biography

John (Hastings) de Hastings was a member of aristocracy in the British Isles.
Titles of Sir John de Hastings:

First "Lord Hastings" in the English Peerage.[2]
His father's family had ancient "serjeantrie" rights, originally connected to a stewardship (his ancestor William de Hastings was called "dispensator" to the king) that was served in return for possession of the manor of Uphall in Ashill, Wayland hundred, Norfolk.[3] The office was that of "Napperer" (in charge of the linen), and entitled him to carrying the Second Sword, and the Great Gilt Spurs at coronations.[4]
His father's family also had long held the position of Steward ("Dapifer") of the Liberty of Bury St. Edmund's Abbey. This was connected to the family's possession of Lidgate, Blunham, Herling, Tibbenham and Gissing. His ancestor William de Hastings had inherited this from an uncle.
Seneschal of Aquitaine (appointed 1302 and re-appointed 1309).[5]
Lord of Abergavenny[6]
Complete Peerage concerning his claim to the Scottish throne:[7]

In 1292 he claimed a third part of the Kingdom of Scotland, as grandson and h. of Ada, 4th da. and coh. of David, Earl of Huntingdon: his claim was rejected by the judgment delivered at Berwick Castle, on Monday after St. Martin [17 Nov.].
Military service:

"John fought in Gascony in 1294. He was continually employed in the Scottish wars of Kings Edward I and Edward II, and was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in 1300." [8]
There was an extensive listing of John's possessions made after his death, and published.[9]

According to Complete Peerage, his will was proved and enrolled, Monday before St. Margaret 1325, in the Court of Husting, London.

Birth
Born: 6 May 1262. At his father's Inquisition Post Mortem, made Tuesday after Palm Sunday, 53 Hen. III, it was mentioned that "John his son, aged 6 on the day of St. John ante Portam Latinam (6 May), 52 Hen. III (1268)., is his heir."[10] That would mean he turned 6 on May 6, 1268, and was therefore born May 6, 1262.

While Complete Peerage says he was born in Allesley in Warwickshire, citing, Contin. Chron. Flor. Wigorn., vol. ii, p. 190, which apparently said he was born "apud Alesle", Blomefield says he was born in the family's ancient seat at Ashill in Norfolk (which was more normally spelled in forms more like Ashele).[3]

Death and burial
He died 10 Feb 1312/3 [8]

Although Richardson in Royal Ancestry Vol. III p. 256 notes John de Hastings burial in Friars Minor, Coventry, recent identification of what may be his tomb in St. Mary's Priory Church, Abergavenny, put the Friars Minor location of his burial in dispute.

Concerning the tomb and effigy of John de Hastings, Alton Rogers received a letter dated August 12, 2006 from Janet Herrod of 'Abergavenny Museum at the Castle' which provided detailed information as well as the pedigree of about the Lords of Abergavenny as well as the pedigree of John de Hastings, 11th Lord of Abergavenny, with effigy photo and information about the de Valence family. The oldest memorial in the Priory Church, dating from around 1325, is a graceful, carved oak effigy of Sir John de Hastings, who was probably responsible for the church's 14th century restoration. Until recent years the tomb associated with the effigy was thought to be of a Cantilupe lord, but in-depth research indicates the tomb is believed by St. Mary's to be that of John de Hastings.

Description of the tomb of John de Hastings: http://stmarys-priory.org/stmaryschurch/monuments.php :

The newly constructed tomb on which the (effigy) figure lies contains paneling from the knight's original tomb, which would have stood in the centre of the choir. Depressions on the side once held brightly enameled heraldic shields. The cross-legged posture was a fashion popular before 1330 or 1340 and his feet rest on a lion, a symbol of courage and strength.
Wikipedia states:[11] :

The Priory Church of St. Mary, Abergavenny, in the center of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales, has been called the 'Westminster Abbey of Wales' due to its large size, its number of high status church monument tombs and the rare medieval effigies surviving within it.
Marriage and Children
John de Hastings, Knight and Isabel de Valance married (at Braxted, Essex or Blunham, Bedfordshire), by papal dispensation dated 15 July 1275. [8]

They had three sons, William, John, and Henry, and three daughters, Joan, Elizabeth, and Margaret. [8]

Jane Hastings
John Hastings 2nd Lord Hastings
Henry De Hastings clerk, [12]
Elizabeth Hastings
William Hastings Knight
Margaret Hastings
(NOTE: Robert Hastings is not considered a son. See his article.)

Isabel died 5 Oct. 1305, and was buried in the church of the Grey Friars at Coventry, Warkwickshire. [8]

John de Hastings married (2nd) in or before 1308 Isabel le Despenser, widow of Gilbert de Clare, Knt., and daughter of Hugh le Despenser, Knt., Earl of Winchester, 1st Lord Despenser. [8]

John and Isabel le Despenser had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and Thomas. [8]

end of this biography

John Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings (6 May 1262 – 28 February 1313) was an English peer and soldier of the Middle Ages. Hastings was a competitor for the Scottish throne in 1290/92 in the Great Cause.

Baron

Hastings was the son of Henry de Hastings, who was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester as Lord Hastings in 1263. However, this creation was not recognized by the King Henry III of England although John Hastings is sometimes referred to as the second Baron Hastings. His mother was Joanna de Cantilupe, sister and heiress of his uncle George de Cantilupe (d.1273).

He became the 13th Baron Bergavenny by tenure on the death of his uncle George de Cantilupe in 1273, and thereby acquired Abergavenny Castle and the honour of Abergavenny.

Soldier

Hastings fought from the 1290s in the Scottish, Irish and French wars of King Edward I and was later Seneschal of Aquitaine.

In 1290 he had unsuccessfully contested the Scottish crown as grandson of Ada, third daughter of David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon, who was a grandson of King David I. The same year he was summoned to the English Parliament as Lord Hastings.

In 1301, he signed a letter to Pope Boniface VIII, protesting against papal interference in Scottish affairs.

Family and succession

Lord Hastings married as his first wife Isabel de Valence, daughter of William de Valence, 1st Earl of Pembroke and had the following children:

William Hastings (1282–1311)
John Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings (29 September 1286 – 20 January 1325), married to Juliane de Leybourne (died 1367). They had a son:
Lawrence who later became earl of Pembroke.
Edmund, who was summoned to Parliament as Lord Hastings in 1299.
Elizabeth who married Sir Roger de Grey, 1st Lord Grey (of Ruthin).[2]

Discuss: BRITISH_ARISTO

Inherited Whitchurch from his mother Eleanor; he served with credit as a young man in Gascony in 1294, and also during all the Scottish campaigns of Edward I. Though not summoned to the Parliament held at Lincoln in 1301, his name as Lord of Corfham appears among those of the barons who sealed the letter to the Pope, and he was one of the three le Strange knights who were present at the tournament in 1309.

In that year he was summoned to Parliament under the style of Lord Strange of Blackmere, and the rolls for the next fifteen years are full of writs directed to him for civil and military employments.

In the reign of Edward II Fulk was among the adherents of the Earl of Lancaster, and received a pardon for the part which he had taken against Gaveston and the King's friends. Like most of the Marchers, he espoused the policy of the lords ordainers, and on several occasions he appears to have evaded compliance with the royal writs requiring him to perform active service against the Scots.

In 1321 he changed sides, like most of the Marcher lords, on account of their fear of Despencer's encroachments, and he joined the association formed by them to drive the Despencers out of the kingdom. Apparently he fought on the King's side at the battle of Boroughbridge, which resulted in the capture and execution of Lancaster. These services, and his early experiences in Gascony, procured for him in 1322 the appointment to the important office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, and he administered that province for upwards of a year, until stricken down there by illness from which he never recovered; he probably died in France early in 1324.

On 16 july 1289 it was ordered that he should have his brother's lands on the condition of doing homage to the king when Edward I was next in England.

In 1294 he was recorded as going to Gascony, and from March 1298 until April 1323 he was summoned for service against the Scots.

In Feb. 1300/1 he had his seal appended to the Baron's letter to the Pope as "Fulco Lestrange dominus de Corfham".

He was summoned to Parliament by writ directed "Fulconi Lestrange," whereby he is held to have become Lord Strange, on 4 March 1308/9 in 2 Edward II.

Proof of her parentage and of the marriage is found in the Calendar of Papal Registers, Vol. II, p. 229, where under date Ides March 1323 we find: "To Robert Corbet, lord of the town of Morton in the Diocese of Litchfield and Elizabeth daughter of Fulke le Strange, seneschal of the Duchy of Acquitaine dispensation to remain in marriage which they contracted in ignorance that they were related in the 4th degree, and declaring their present and future offspring legitimate. 1 March, Avignon." The relationship between these two is not known to the writer.
