Subject: DE LA POLE FAMILY
"The early history of the de la Pole family before William de la Polehas
not been proven.
Dr. Rosemary Horrox in her book on the de la Poles states "The de la
Poles died out in the early sixteen century, just before the greatrevival
of interest in geneaology which might have enabled their pedigree to
be traced and preserved. The modern historian of the family can reachno
further back than William of Hull, in Paston's words, 'a worshipfulman
grown by fortune of the world and he was first a merchant and after a
knight and after he was made banneret'.
William de la Pole died 1366, his wife Katherine died 1381.
Charles Frost in his article on the family thought the de la Pole
brothers (Richard and William) were the sons of William and Elena, who
subsequently remarried John Rottenherring. However A.S. Harvey "The de
la Pole Family of Kingston-upon-Hull" published Hull, 1957 proved
neither parent correct. . . .
Dr. Horrox stated "ROBERT's [i.e. William's son in law, SIR ROBERT DE
NEVILLE] father, ROBERT senior, was then heavily in debt to William,and
had been imprisoned in the Fleet for non-payment of two thousand
pounds. Michael de la Pole obtained his release in May claiming thatthe
money had been repaid. This seems unlikely; three days later ROBERT
senior took out another bond promising repayment of the two thousand
pounds."

Interesting as the Haudlo family is, we concern ourselves here onlywith the St. Amand marriage, because it brings into the familyancestry some very important and distinguished people.

General Notes: Following copied from Ancestral Roots, at end of line 32.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Note concerning the marriage of Sir Thomas de Swynnerton and Maud deHoland: the fact of this marriage has been questioned in the past asit appears to rest solely upon the statement in the Savage pedigree inthe Visitation of Cheshire for 1580. Review of printed sources showsthat Robert de Holand and his wife Maud la Zouche did have a daughternamed Maud who was betrothed as a child to John de Mowbray. After theorder for the confiscation of the estates of John's father, John (thenaged about 12), his mother Aline, and Maud, who was living with them,were taken on 26 Feb 1321/2 to the Tower of London to be received bythe Constable of the Tower, then Roger de Swynnerton, father ofThomas. Following the imprisonment of Maud's father and theconfiscation of his estates, the marriage of John was granted on 28Feb 1326/7 to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, whose daughter Joan was thenmarried to John de Mowbray, then fifteen years of age. When John cameof age, he received a license to grant a life interest in two Mowbraymanors to Maud, then free to marry. That Maud did marry Thomas deSwynnerton depends upon the sources for the article "Ancestry ofObadiah and Mary Bruen", TAG 26:12-25 at 21 (1950). In that articleDonald Lines Jacobus cited the article by Rev. Canon Bridgeman, "AnAccount of the Family of Swynnerton of Swynnerton and Elsewhere in theCounty of Stafford", (Wm. Salt Soc., vol VII pt. II, cit.), whichshows that the widow of Thomas de Swynnerton was named Maud (orMatilda), and that there was formerly in Swynnerton Church an "effigyof a woman over whom is written, "Matidis de Swynnerton," and a shieldgiving the arms of Holand, viz: azure, semee of fleurs-de-lys argent,a lion rampant guardian argent" (Staffordshire Collection, MS no. 383,William Salt Library).

Maud married Thomas de Swynnerton Sir ²¹⁵Thomas was born about 1310 in Swynnerton, Staffordshire, England and died in 1361 in Swynnerton, Staffordshire, England^²¹⁵ about age 51.

Maud next married Hugh de Courtenay KG 2nd Earl of Devon ²⁴² ^,243 ^,244Hugh was born on 12 Jul 1303 in Okehampton, Devonshire, England^²⁴² and died on 2 May 1377 in Exeter, Devonshire, England^²⁴² at age 73.

6791798. Nicholas* Beke Sir Knight,²⁰⁷ son of Robert Beke Sir and Mariota, was born about 1320 in Tene, Staffordshire, England. Another name for Nicholas* was Beck.

General Notes: Sir Nicholas Beck (Beke, Beck, Bec, or Beek) seems to have usedinvariably the name of Beck, a form which had occurred onlyoccasionally before his time. He was a "Chivaler" and being also amember of Parliament, a good account of his career is given in Col.Wedgewood's "Parliamentary History". He served in the famous Crecycampaign, and was probably in the great fight of the feudal lord,Ralph, Baron Stafford being attached to the King's division, and it iscertain that he took part in the seige of Calais, because he hadduring its progress letters of attorney dated March 20, 1347,describing him as of the retinue of Ralph, who was abroad in theKing's service. In 1359 he was again in the retinue of Ralph, now Earlof Stafford. In 1261, Prince Lionel of Clarence (son of Edward III)was appointed Lieutenant of Ireland and was accompanied thither by abody of men at arms commissioned by Ralph Stafford. Nicholas Beck wasa knight with him. Nicholas Beck's grandfather, Robert Bek, took thename of Bek from his mother, Lettice de Bek, who married Sir RichardDraycote. Lettice was not only the heiress of the de Beks, but also ofOrabel or Orabilla, her mother. In 1369 Nicholas recovered 6messuages, and 6 bovates, not in the estates entailed in 1302. WithNicholas probably ended the male line of the Becks, who were in factDraycotes. We learn from a suit at Stafford in 1402 that his mother'sname was Mary or Mariota de Bek and that he himself married a wifenamed Joan, and they were both living in 1348. He left two daughters,Elizabeth and Margaret who died sine prole.

Jane married Nicholas* Beke Sir Knight ²⁰⁷Nicholas* was born about 1320 in Tene, Staffordshire, England. Another name for Nicholas* was Beck.

Hemarried 2nd Margaret, daughter of Henry Done, and had a son and twodaughters. From this marriage with Ellen Egerton the Breretons derivedlarge possessions and splendid descent; but at the time of themarriage, David de Egerton being then living, the marriage portion ofthe lady was only œ100, for which William Brereton gave his receipt atEgerton, 27th of Edward III, 1353.

Dear Newsgroup ~

In the wake of the new discovery of Theobald de Verdun's wife, Margery
de Bohun, new attention has been turned to the baronial families of
Verdun and Bohun. As indicated by Complete Peerage, Theobald de
Verdun's step-mother, Eleanor, 2nd wife of John de Verdun, is thought
to have been a Bohun, she having sealed with those arms as reported by
Complete Peerage sub Verdun. Chris Philips reported his findings on
this matter in a post today.

As it turns out, Eleanor, 2nd wife of John de Verdun, does in fact
appear to have been a Bohun. My research indicates that Eleanor
evidently had as her maritagium the manor of Debden, Essex (a Bohun
manor), which property she in turn conveyed as a widow in 1275/6 to
John de Grey, of Wilton, co. Hereford, and his wife, Maud. The fine
conveying this property is found in Essex Feet of Fines, vol. 2, pg.
13. At his death years later, John de Grey is stated to have held the
manor of Debden of Eleanor de Verdun by the service of a rose, the
standard service for property granted in marriage in this period (see
Cal. IPM, vol. 6, pg. 311). As such, it seems rather clear that John
de Grey's wife, Maud, was the daughter of John de Verdun, by his 2nd
wife, Eleanor de Bohun.

We can be reasonably certain that Maud de Grey was Eleanor de Verdun's
daughter, as Eleanor being a Bohun surely had the manor of Debden in
marriage, and in turn passed it along to her daughter, Maud. In this
time period, a woman's maritagium almost always fell to her
descendants, unless she happened to be childless, when she sometimes
conveyed it away to strangers. In Eleanor's case, we know that she
had several other male children, so the odds that she would convey her
maritagium to the Grey family without there being a kinship is
virtually slim to none. Also, it appears that John de Grey and his
wife, Maud, were small children at the time of Eleanor de Verdun's
fine. Complete Peerage indicates that John de Grey was born about
1268 (he being aged 40 at his father's death in 1308). Eleanor de
Verdun's other known child, Humphrey, was born in 1267. It would be
odd for Eleanor to convey her property to children, unless of course
one of the parties was her own child.

Following John de Grey's death, the manor of Debden, Essex was in turn
held by John and Maud de Grey's son and heir, Henry de Grey, Lord
Grey, of Wilton (see Cal. IPM, vol. 8, pg. 261), as well as by a later
Henry Grey, Lord Grey, of Wilton (see Cal. IPM, vol. 17, pg. 253). At
the later Henry de Grey's death, he is stated to hold the manor of
"Weldebernys" in Debden of the Countess of Hereford (a Bohun
descendant). The passage of this manor down to John de Grey's son,
Henry, and thence to his heirs gives evidence that Henry was in fact
the son of John de Grey's wife, Maud de Verdun.

These new discoveries causes a ripple of corrections for Complete
Peerage as well as for the Plantagenet Ancestry manuscript. For
starters, it now appears that John de Grey had but one wife, Maud de
Verdun, not two as claimed by Complete Peerage. Also, it appears Maud
de Verdun was the mother of all of John de Grey's children, presumably
including Iseult Saint Pierre, living 1343, whose existence and
identity I mentioned in a post this past week.

As soon as I have time, I will post copies of the specifics of the
fines and inquisitions which show the links between the Bohun, Verdun,
and Grey families. I will also post a list of the colonial immigrants
who descend from this Bohun-Verdun-Grey combination. I haven't
checked my lists yet, but I'm sure this set of discoveries will change
many people's charts here on the newsgroup. Perhaps if John Ravilious
has a moment, he can post a tabular pedigree chart showing the
descent.

As for the identity of parentage of Eleanor de Bohun, Complete Peerage
indicates that she married before 1267 to John de Verdun, and that
they had a son, Humphrey de Verdun, born in 1267. If we assume that
Eleanor was around 20 at the time of marriage, say 1265, the
chronology would place Eleanor, born say 1245, as a hitherto unknown
daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford (died 1275), by his
2nd wife, Maud de Avenbury. The date of the marriage of Earl Humphrey
and Maud de Avenbury is not known, but presumably it was soon after
the death of his 1st wife, Maud of Eu, which took place in 1241. Earl
Humphrey and Maud are known to have had children, but no modern
descendants have been found for this couple.

If anyone has any further particulars which would shed additional
light on this matter, I would appreciate hearing from them at my
e-mail address below. In closing, I wish to thank John Ravilious,
Chris Phillips and Cristopher Nash for their continued helpful posts
on the Mortimer, Verdun, Bohun and Grey families. Yes, answers can
be found to ancient questions. Collegiality is the one of the keys to
finding those answers.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

From "Drake in England," p. 63: Nothing has been found in thethirteenth-century Court Rolls relating to him during his life, unlesshe was the 'fil Rogeri Drake' discussed above [Ed. Note: in earliertext pages]. He was dead before the Court held on 14 June 1302,although then unnamed, and at that on 26 November 1303 'Agnes who wasthe wife of Nicholas Drake' (an usual way of describing a widow inmedieval records) paid a fine of 12d. 'to the lord for help againstThomas att Brok.'"

Since Nicholas' son was "of age, married, ... before 14 June 1302" itis likely that his birth year was no later than 1260 [See discussion,"Drake in England," p. 63, 64].

From "Drake in England," p. 63, 64: "In the Court for 19 March 1304 wefind her as the plaintiff in a plea of debt, the defendant beingThomas, evidently the occasion of her needing the help of the lord'scourt. Her pledges, that is gurantors that her action was notfrivolous and would be prosecuted were named as G. Symund and John ateHulle. At later Courts in 1304, as 'Agnes la Draka' or 'Agnes Drake,'the suit was continued and a counter plea against her was alleged byThomas 'ate Brocks' or 'of the Broks.' Unfortunately, as is so oftenthe case with medieval lawsuits, the outcome is not known. It isprobable that she survived her husband for some years, since, on 7November 1319, an 'Agnes Drake' was presented with others and foundguilty of 'A trespass made on the lord's...corn in the grange atWaltham.'"

General Notes: BARONY OF MOWBRAY

II. 2. JOHN (DE MOWBRAY), LORD MOWBRAY, son and heir, said to havebeen born 4 September 1286. He was made a knight on the occasion ofthe knighting of Prince Edward, 22 May 1306, and on 1 June had liveryof his father's lands, though still under age. In this year he wasserving in Scotland, and from 1308 to 1319 was regularly summoned forservice against the Scots. He was summoned to Parliament from 26August 1307 to 15 May 1321, and on 18 January 1307/8 to attend theKing's Coronation on 25 February. In 1309 he was present at atournament at Dunstable. On 10 July 1312 he was appointed keeper ofthe city of York and of the whole county. He was made Warden of theMarches towards Carlisle 2 August 1313, and again 9 January 1314/5,and on that account had on 6 January been excused attendance inParliament. On 23 March of the same year he was appointed captain andkeeper of Newcastle-on-Tyne and the county of Northumberland, and inAugust was directed to stay in the North during the winter campaign.From that time on he was placed on various commissions of oyer andterminer, array, &c. In April 1317 he was among those to whom the Popewrote, urging them to support Edward II against the faction ofLancaster; on 18 September 1317 he was given custody of the town andborough of Scarborough, and later of the castle, and on 30 Septemberhad custody of the castle and manor of Malton. In August and September1316, and December 1318, he was ordered to raise men in the WestRiding. He presumably attended the Parliament which was convened tomeet at York 20 October 1318, for he was in the city during thesession. On 6 February 1318/9 he had authority to receive thesubmission of any Scots who wished to come in; and on 15 May, being inthe King's service on the Scottish Marches, he had respite of debtsdue to the Exchequer. At about this time he became involved, owing tohis marriage, in disputes with the Despensers, which led to hisjoining the party of the Earl of Lancaster, whose fate he shared threeyears later. William de Braose or Brewes [Lord Brewes], Mowbray'sfather-in-law, had made a conveyance to him of his baronies of Bramberand Gower, and Mowbray entered into possession. On the ground that hehad entered without the King's licence, which the Lords Marcherscontended was not needed in the March, Hugh le Despenser the younger,who had long coveted Gower, prevailed on the King to dispossessMowbray, and accordingly in October 1320 the escheator was ordered totake the land of Gower into the King's hand. This proceeding led to aconfederation of the Lords Marchers, headed by the Earl of Hereford,the Mortimers and Mowbray, against the Despensers, who were ultimatelybanished in July 1321; and in the following month Mowbray and thosewho had acted with him received formal pardons. On 12 November he wasordered to abstain from attending the meeting of "Good Peers" whichhad been summoned by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, to assemble atDoncaster; but by this time he had thrown in his lot with the Earl,and in January 1321/2 took part in besieging the King's castle ofTickhill, whereupon order was made for seizure of his lands, and, on11 March, for his arrest. On 16 March 1321/2 he fought for the Earl ofLancaster at Boroughbridge and was captured by Sir Andrew de Harcla.He was taken to York and hanged 23 March, and his estates wereforfeited. He married, at Swansea, in 1298, Aline, daughter and coheirof William DE BRAOSE or BREWES [LORD BREWES], lord of Gower in Walesand of Bramber in Sussex. He died 23 March 1321/2, as aforesaid. Hiswidow married Sir Richard DE PESHALE, who was living in November 1342.She was dead on 20 July 1331. [CP 9:377-80]

John de Mowbray, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from 26 August,1307, to 5 August, 1320. This nobleman, during his minority, wasactively engaged in the Scottish wars of King Edward I, and had liveryof all his lands before he attained majority in consideration of thoseservices.

II. 2.
EARLDOM OF MARCH [ENG]

I. 1. ROGER DE MORTIMER [LORD MORTIMER], son and heir of Edmund DEMORTIMER [LORD MORTIMER], by Margaret, daughter of Sir William DEFIENES, was born either on 25 April or 3 May 1287. On 29 July 1304 thewardship of his lands was granted to Piers de Gavaston. On 30 December1304 Roger had permission to pay off his father's debts at the rate of£20 a year. He was summoned to Parliament from 22 February 1306/7 to15 May 1321, and from 3 December 1326 to 28 August 1328, by writsdirected Rogero de Mortuo Mari de Wygemor (spelt variously). On 9April 1306, although still under age, he had livery of his lands,having satisfied Piers de Gavaston. He was made a knight
by the King (with many others) at Westminster, at the same time as thePrince of Wales, on Whitsunday 22 May 1306. In 1306 he performedservice in Scotland, and in October, being one of those who left the
King's service there without licence, his lands were seized. He waspardoned in the following January, and his lands were restored at theintercession of Queen Margarct. On 15 December 1307 the Justiciar ofIreland was ordered to deliver to him the lands of his inheritance inIreland, although he was still under age; and on 24 December Geoffreyde Geneville [Lord Geneville] had licence to surrender to Roger deMortimer and Joan his wife (daughter of Piers, and granddaughter ofGeoffrey de Geneville) the lands in Ireland which Geoffrey held by thecourtesy after the death of Maud his wife, and which at his deathwould descend to Roger and Joan. At the outset of his career,therefore, he became, by inheritance from his father and inconsequence of his marriage, a great magnate both in Wales and inIreland. At the Coronation of Edward II, 25 February 1307/8, he wasone of the four bearers of the royal robes. On 14 March 1307/8 heacknowledged a debt of £80 to the Friscobaldis of Florence. He wassummoned for militiry service against the Scots 21 June 1308, and alsoin 1309 (to raise 500 foot soldiers in Wales), 1310, and later. On 28October 1308 Sir Roger and his wife (heiress of Meath) went to Irelandand took seisin of Meath. On 26 August 1309 he had a grant of thecommote of Endor (unidentified) in Wales, and in the same year sealedthe Barons' letter of 6 August to the Pope concerning abuses. He wascustodian, during pleasure, of Builth Castle on 26 February 1309/10.On 20 July 1309 or 1310 a mandate was issued to the Justiciar ofIreland restoring the liberties Roger's predecessors had enjoyed inTrim. On 2 April 1313 Roger was to be paid £100 for his expenses ingoing to Gascony on the King's service. He nominated attorneys inIreland on 14 March 1314/5 for two years. In 1315 he took part insuppressing the revolt of Llewelyn Bren, and was one of those to whom,on 18 March 1315/6, Llewelyn surrendered. In June 1316 Roger made asettlement of his estates. In the same year he was defeated by EdwardBruce in Ireland, after which he returned to England, and later helpedthe Earl of Pembroke to suppress a revolt in Bristol. On 23 November1316 he was appointed the King's Lieutenant in Ireland, and on 9December had a grant of the marriage of the son and heir of Nicholasde Audley. In February 1316/7 he assembled a great army atHaverfordwest, and crossed with them, as commander, to Youghal,arriving on 7 April. He is said to have held a Parliament in Dublin inMay. On 3 June he defeated Waltcr de Lacy and his men, and the nextday, when Walter and his three brothers again attacked, he againdefeated them. In 1318 he was recalled to England, and in the sameyear he is described as the "late keeper" of Ireland. In the disputebetween the King and the Despensers on the one hand, and the Earl ofLancaster on the other, Mortimer seems to have tried to keep a middlecourse with the Earl of Pembroke. He had a grant on 20 July 1318 ofthe marriage of Thomas, son and heir of Guy de Beauchamp, Earl ofWarwick. On 9 August, at the treaty of Leek between the King andLancaster, he was one of the sureties for the King, and was nominatedon the King's council and on the commission to reform the royalhouschold. In November the chamberlain of Carnarvon was ordered to payhim 2,000 marks for his services in Ireland. On 15 March 1318/9 he wasappointed justiciar of Ireland, during pleasure, and held this officetill January 1320/1. On 16 March he was made keeper of the castles ofRoscommon, Randown and Athlone. In 1320, in a private war in SouthWales between the Earl of Hereford and Despenser about Gower, Rogerand his uncle Roger Mortimer of Chirk took sides with the former. Inthe following year the King summoned Roger and the Earl of Hereford toattend him, but they refused to come, because the younger Despenserwas in the King's train. On 28 June 1321 Roger and his uncle werepresent at the meeting of the Barons at Sherburn in Elmet; and on 29July Roger accompanied them to London and lodged at the Hospitallers'house at Clerkenwell. The King yielded, the Despensers were banished,and Mortimer received a formal pardon on 20 August, and returned tothe Welsh Marches. On 12 November he was ordered to abstain from themeeting of the "Good Peers" which Thomas of Lancaster had convened for29 November. Later when the forces of the King besieged the castle ofLeeds in Kent, which had refused admission to the Queen, Hereford andMortimer came as near as Kingston, but did nothing further to relieveit. The King's forces took the castle and followed them westward, andon 25 December were at Cirencester. About this time Mortimer burntBridgnorth, and the King's army, being unable to cross the Severn,went north to Shrewsbury. On 22 January 1321/2 the Mortimers, beingdisappointed at receiving no help from the Earl of Lancaster,surrendered to the King at Shrewsbury, and were sent to the Tower.When Lancaster was overthrown at Boroughbridge, 22 March 1321/2, theDespensers returned to power, and the Mortimers were tried, and inJuly condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted, 22 July, toone of perpetual imprisonment. On 1 August 1324 Roger escaped from theTower, the guards having been drugged, and, crossing the Thames, herode to Dover and embarked on a ship which was waiting to take him toFrance, where he was welcomed by Charles IV, whom he assisted in hiswar with Edward II in Guienne. In the spring of 1325 Queen Isabel(sister of Charles IV) crossed over to France to arrange for a peaceabout Guienne, which was made on 31 May; on 12 September Prince Edwardwent over to France to do homage for Aquitaine, and stayed there withhis mother, with whom Mortimer and other exiles had become closelyassociated. Mortimer became her lover as well as her adviser, and atthe end of the year they went to Flanders, where Prince Edward wasaffianced to Philippe of Hainault, and men and money were obtained foran attack on England. On 24 September 1326 the Queen, with Mortimer,John of Hainault, and their forces, landed near Ipswich, and werejoined by Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and other opponents of theDespensers. The King having fled to the Despensers in Wales, Mortimerfollowed him. On 26 October 1326 the elder Despenser was captured atBristol, tried by Mortimer, Lancaster, and others the next day, andhanged forthwith. On 16 November the King and the younger Despenserwere captured at Llantrisant; the next day Mortimer ordered theexecution of Arundel, and on 24 November he and Lancaster and Kent satin judgment on the younger Despenser, and hanged him on a gallows 50feet high. Mortimer was present at the delivery of the Great Seal tothe Bishop of Norwich at Cirencester on 30 November, and on 15December the custody of Denbigh Castle was granted to him, duringpleasure. He was at Wallingford for Christmas that year with the Queenand her son. On 7 January 1326/7 Parliament deposed Edward II and madehis son king, and on 13 January Mortimer, with a great company,visited the City, and at the Guildhall promised to maintain theliberties of the citizens. He was present on 28 January when the youngKing gave the Great Seal to the new Chancellor, the Bishop of Ely. On1 February 1326/7 he was present af the Coronation of Edward Ill, andthat day three of his sons (Edmund, Roger and Geoffrey) were madeknights. On 15 February he received custody of the lands of the heirof Nicholas de Audley, and on 17 February was granted the marriage ofLaurence de Hastinges.

On 21 February he received apardon for breaking prison at the Tower and for his otherdelinquencies, sentence against him was reversed, because he had notbeen tried by his peers, and all his lands were restored to him. On 28February he had licence to alienate lands, &c., to Acornburymonastery, Hereford. On 3 June 1327 he received custody of the landsof Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, during minority. He wasappointed chief keeper of the peace on 8 June 1327 in cos.

On 19 July he was present at Berwick at themarriage of the King's sister Joan with David, who became King ofScotland in the following year. On 6 October 1328 he received licenceto go armed, together with his retinue. In the same month at theParliament at Salisbury he was created, between 25 and 31 October,EARL OF MARCH (Contes Marchia Walliae), by girding with the sword "asthe custom is," and on 9 November was endowed with £10 a year from theissues of Salop and Staffs. This was the first earldom created inEngland not of a county. He had been appointed (as Earl of March)justice of the bishopric of St. Davids on 4 November 1328. On 15December he founded a college of nine (later ten) chaplains in thechurch of St. Mary, Leintwarden, and of two chaplains in the chapel ofLudlow Castle. Hitherto Mortimer had met with little opposition in hiscareer of self-aggrandisement since his return from exile. Whileholding no office in the government, he had obtained posts in it forhis friends, and secured for himself a flood of lucrative grants whichenabled him to make a display of great magnificence while exercisingthe almost regal power which he acquired through Queen Isabel.Discontent had, however, been growing among his rivals, and the firstto show his resentment was Henry, Earl of Lancaster, who had beenappointed guardian of the young King at his accession, but hadgradually been ousted by Mortimer from the control of his youngcharge. He and others refused to attend the Salisbury Parliament inwhich Mortimer was elevated to an earldom, and in the new year, 2January 1328/9, formed a coalition in London with some of the citizensfor Mortimer's destruction. Mortimer meanwhile overran Lancaster'slands and seized Leicester on 4 January. Lancaster advanced no furtherthan Bedford, for his adherents deserted him on the march, and he wasforced to make terms with his enerny. This success secured Mortimer'sascendancy for the time being, and he obtained yet further grants. On22 February a rent of £10 due from certain manors was released to him.He was granted on 2 September 1329 the reversion of the castles ofBuilth and Montgomery and the hundred of Chirbury on the death ofQueen Isabel, and in April of the following year was grantedMontgomery Castle in fee. On 28 January 1329/30 he had the custody ofthe lands and the marriage of Richard FitzGerald, Earl of Kildare. On20 April all debts to the Exchequer due by himself or his ancestorswere remitted. He was granted the town of Droitwich on 25 April, andnext day had custody of the castle of Athlone. On 27 May 1330, inconsideration of his continual attendance on the King, he was granted500 marks per annum from the issues of Wales, in addition to the usualfees of the justice of Wales. By charters dated 25 April and 23 June1330 Roger and Joan his wife obtained Palatine rights in Meath (Trim)and Uriel (Louth). On 12 July he was appointed chief commissioner ofarray and captain of cos. Hereford, Gloucester, Worcester, and Salop,on 16 Aug. had custody of the castle and town of Bristol, and on 25August another Irish custody. Mortimer had now, however, run hiscourse, and the universal hatred which his arrogance and greed hadinspired came to a head. Early in the year he had involved Edmund,Earl of Kent, uncle of the King, and his own former associate, in aplot to restore Edward II, Edmund having been persuaded that hishalf-brother still lived. The resulting trial for treason, and thecondemnation and execution of Edmund on 19 March 1329/30, was asuccess for Mortimer which soon reacted against him. Edward III, whohad long chafed against the restraints imposed on his freedom and atMortimer's influence over his mother, was roused at last, and himselfheaded a conspiracy to get rid of the tyrant. A meeting (by somecalled a Parliament) having been summoned for October at Nottingham,it was decided to take this opportunity of seizing Mortimer's person.The governor of Nottingham Castle, where Isabel, Mortimer, and theKing lodged, revealed to William de Montagu (later Earl of Salisbury)and others a secret passage into the castle whereby Mortimer's Welshguards could be evaded. On the night of 18 October the conspiratorsburst in on Mortimer while he was holding a conference with theChancellor. Mortimer slew one of his assailants, but was overpowered,and arrested by order of the King, in spite of the Queen mother'sappeal, "Beal fitz, beal fitz, eiez pitie de gentil Mortymer." He wassent to London (via Loughborough and Leicester) with two of his sons,Edmund and Geoffrey, and his chief lay assistants, Oliver de Inghamand Simon de Barford. On 28 October Edward took the government intohis own hands, and in the Parliament which met in London 26 NovemberMortimer was impeached (14 articles), found guilty (without beingheard in his defence), and condemned to be executed. Having beenattainted, all his honours were forfeiled. He married, before 6October 1306, Joan, daughter and heir of Piers DE GENEVILLE, by Joanor Jehanne, widow of Bernard-Ezy l, SIRE D'ALBRET in Gascony, anddaughter of Hugue XII, COUNT OF LA MARCHE AND ANGOULÊME, by Jehanne,daughter and eventual coheir of Raoul, SEIGNEUR DE FOUGÊRES inBrittany. She was born 2 February 1285/6. He died 29 November 1330,being drawn to execution like a felon and hanged at the Elms, Tyburn.His body was left on the gallows two days and two nights. He wasburied in the Church of the Grey Friars at Shrewsbury. His widow inDecember 1332 received the wardship of two-thirds of the lands of herson Edmund, to hold till the heir should be of age. She hadsurrendered the liberty of Trim on 18 September 1332, and it wasrestored to her in 1337, and again in 1343 or 1344. In 1347 she wasstyled Countess of March and Lady of Trim. She died 19 October 1356.[CP 8:433-42, 14:466]

transfered to his elder brother Edward. He soon obtained, however,both
possessions and dignities, for upon the forfeiture of Simon deMontfort by the
King of the Earldom of Leicester and also the honour of theStewardship of

In 1254, at the age of nine, Pope Innocent VI invested him with thekindom of Sicily and Apulia. The huge sums of money sought by the Popeand Edmund's father, KING HENRY III, to drive Manfred out of southernItaly made this venture very unpopular with the English barons. Thescheme was finally abandoned in 1263. In 1264, England was in a stateof civil war. KING HENRY III and PRINCE EDWARD were captured by theforces of Simon De Montfort, the Earl of Leicester, who was, for allpractical purposes, the ruler of England. Meanwhile, Edmund and hismother, QUEEN ELEANOR were in Paris raising an army. After the Battleof Eversham in 1265, where Simon de Montfort was slain and his forcesdefeated by PRINCE EDWARD who had escaped from captivity, Edmundreturned to England with his mother. He was one of the magnates whourged THE KING to adopt the sweeping measure of confiscation (againstthose barons who had supported Montfort) determined on in theparliament of Winchester, being moved, it was believed, by the desireof enriching himself. He had a large share of the spoils, beingcreated Earl of Leicester and receiving the stewardship of thekingdom. In 1267 he was also created Earl of Lancaster. With hisbrother, PRINCE EDWARD, and several other magnates, Edmund took up thecross in 1268 and was with his brother at Acre in 1271-72.

Returning home before EDWARD, he reached England in December 1272,shortly after his father's death, was received with rejoicing by theLondoners, and went to his mother at Windsor. His crusade, duringwhich he is said to have accomplished little or nothing , seems tohave gained him the nickname of Crouchback (or crossed back). It issaid, however, to have been asserted by John of Gaunt in 1385 that thename implied deformity, that Edmund was really the elder son of HENRYIII, but had been passed over by his father as unfit to reign, and adesire of spreading this fable appears to have been entertained byHenry of Lancaster, Henry IV, and was perhaps implied in his challengeof the crown.

By his marriage, after the death of his childless first wife (Avelinede Fortibus) to BLANCHE, the granddaughter of KING LOIUS VIII OFFRANCE, Edmund became Count of Champagne and Brie. From 1277 to 1296Edmund was active in THE KING's service. He commanded THE KING'sforces in South Wales, acted as ambassador at the French court,unsuccessfully attempted to organize another crusade on behalf of THEKING, and, in conjunction with ROGER DE MORTIMER, EARL OF MARCH (RIN684), defeated and executed Llewelyn in Wales. When war broke out withFrance in 1294/5, Edmund was again serving as ambassador there.Remaining loyal to KING EDWARD, he, of course, lost all claim to hisFrench possessions. He led armies in Brittany and Gascony. He died inBayonne deeply mortified that he was not provided the funds needed tokeep his army in the field. "He was religoius, gay, and pleasant indisposition, open-handed, and a popular commander."

EARLDOM OF LEICESTER
VII. 1.
EARLDOM OF LANCASTER

I. 1. EDMUND, styled "Crouchback" (Gibbosus), 4th and youngest, but2nd surviving son of HENRY III, by Eleanor, daughter and coheir ofRaymond BERENGER, COUNT OF PROVENCE, was born
16 January 1244/5, in London. On 7 March 1253/4 Albert, the Papallegate, offered him from the Pope the Kingdom of Sicily, the offerbeing confirmed by Pope Innocent IV on 14 May 1254. On 25 May a greatseal was ordered to be engraved for Edmund as King of Sicily. On 29May 1254 he accompanied his mother to Bordeaux. On 18 October 1255 hehad a mandate to receive the Kingdom of Apulia, but peace being madebetween the Pope and Manfred, son of Frederick, King of Apulia,Manfred retained Apulia, and Henry III's hopes for his son weredisappointed. In April 1256 Henry III wrote to the Bishop of Bethlehemand Cardinal Albus with respect to a marriage between Prince Edmundand the Queen of Cyprus. In June 1257 the King renounced Sicily onbehalf of Edmund, but appears to have reconsidered the matter, and on20 March 1260/1 Edmund ordered his Sicilian subjects to prepare forhis reception. In 1258, at the feast of St. Michael, he was presentwith the King at the dedication of Salisbury Cathedral. In IZ59 heaccompanied his parents to Paris, and again in 1267. In 1263, in aletter dated 16 July, he and Robert de Glaston, Constable of DoverCastle, refused to give up the castle to the Bishop of London, asordered by the King. Next year he was in France with his mother theQueen, collecting an army of Flemish mercenaries for service inEngland, and on 8 Kal. August he and the King were absolved by thePope of all their obligations in respect of the Kingdom of Sicily. On26 October 1265 he had a charter to him and the heirs of his body ofthe honour of Leicester and of all the lands which had been held bySimon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and, although not called Earl ofthe county, he became EARL OF LEICESTER. On 28 June 1266 he had agrant of the castles and lands, and on 22 July of the honour of Derby,forfeited by Robert de Ferrers, formerly Earl of Derby. In 1266 hetook part with his father the King and his brother Prince Edward inthe siege of Kenilworth Castle, of which he had a grant, on 16December, three days after its surrender; and on 28 December he had agrant of Buelt Castle. In the spring of 1267 he and Robert Walerandwere empowered to treat of peace with Llewellyn ap Griffith. On 30June 1267 he had a charter of the honour, castle, and manor ofMonmouth, of the castles of Grossmund, Skenefrith, and Blauncchastel,and of the honour, county, castle, and town of Lancaster, and all theKing's demesne in the said county, to him and the heirs of his body,and although not designated Earl of the county, he became EARL OFLANCASTER. By the same charter he was granted the forests of Wiresdaland Lounesdal, Newcastlc-under-Lyme, and the manor, castle, and forestof Pickering, town of Gommecestre, and rents of Huntingdon.

On 20 November 1268 hehad a grant of the marriage of Isabel, late wife of William de Forz,Earl of Aumale. On 22 April 1269 he had another grant of the lands andknights' fees which Simon de Montfort had held. On 1 May 1269 he wasordered to give Robert de Ferrers full seisin of all his lands whichwere in Edmund's hands because Robert had found pledges and wasdelivered from prison, but he did not comply with this order. On 9 May1269 he was appointed Steward of England for life. On 19 October 1269he had a protection for 5 years on going to the Holy Land. On 25 July1270, being about to go to the Holy Land, he had licence to let allhis lands except castles and
fortresses for 7 years, and another licence, 17 February 1274/5, for 3years from Easter following. At the instance of Prince Edward, hisbrother, he had a grant, 2 August 1270, of Aaron, son of Vives, Jew.On 19 October 1270 he had a protection for 4 years on going beyondseas, and another, as Edmund, Earl of Leicester, 18 February 1270/1.On 27 January 1270/1, as Edmund the King's son, "Crusader," heappointed attorneys for 4 years. By letters patent, 13 February1270/1, he notified that, being about to go to the Holy, Land on theservice of Jesus Christ, he had committed to Queen Eleanor, hismother, his place and power in England. He was in the East in July1272. He is said to have returned from the Holy Land in 1272, aboutthe feast of St. Nicholas, and to have put down a rising in the North.On 20 August 1274 he renounced for himself and his heirs all claim tothe Stewardship of England, a grant of which he received for life fromKing Edward, 27 February 1274/5. In 1274 Robert de Ferrersunsuccessfully brought an action against Edmund for the recovery ofhis estates, and on 18 October 1274 Edmund had respite until Easternext for all debts which he owed the King's Jews in connection withthe lands of Robert de Ferrers. On 6 June 1275, Edmund having claimedthat he had only received £600 of the 2,600 marks granted to him bythe King in aid of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the Exchequer wasordered to inspect the rolls and pay the balance if due. As Edmund,Earl of Lancaster, brother of the King, he was summoned on militaryservice to Worcester, 12 December 1276, to proceed against the Welsh,and was summoned for military service again in 1282, 1283, and 1291.At the same date the King notified the Pope that he had empowered theAbbot of Westminster and Henry de Newerk, clerk, to bind him orEdmund, Earl of Lancaster, his brother, to go on the next passage tothe Holy Land. On 28 December 1276 his bailiffs in Carmarthen andCardigan were ordered to forbid his tenants to supply the Welsh withprovisions. On 8 August 1277 he was made Commander in Wales, and beganbuilding a castle at Aberystwyth. On 5 May 1277 he was grantedremission of all debts in connection with the lands of John ofMonmouth and of Simon de Montfort which had been granted to him, andon 12 May had a similar grant with respect to Lancaster and certaincastles. On 21 March 1278/9 he and John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond,were sent to France to demand from Philippe the county of Ponthieu,which by the death of Joan, Queen of Castile and Countess of Ponthieu,came to Eleanor the King's consort by hereditary right. On 12 November1279 Edmund exchanged the counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan with theKing for the manors of Wirksworth and Esseburn. On 10 September 1280Archbishop Peckham wrote to the Pope that if the King should have toabandon personally his plan of a crusade, there is none of themagnates of England to whom the money collected by the clergy andpeople could more suitably and advantageously be entrusted than toEdmund, the King's brother. In 1282 he captured Llewellyn and beheadedhim, and set his head up on the Tower of London. On 20 December 1282he and others had pardon for any deaths caused in besieging ChartleyCastle. He was summoned 28 June 1283 to the Council at Shrewsbury forthe trial of David ap Griffith. On 1 November 1288 he had a protectionfor staying beyond seas with the King till Easter. On 4 Kal.

He joined in a letterfrom the Earls and Barons to the Pope in September 1290 complaining ofthe appropriation of prebends in England for religious foundations inRome. He is said to have been appointed to treat with the King ofFrance in 1290, but the time proved unpropitious. On 6 Kal. March 1291he and Blanche his wife had licence to choose a confessor. On 7 Kal.March 1291 he had licence for a portable altar, and on 10 Kal. Marchhe had an indult to enter once a year the monasteries of St. Clare andof the sisters fiving according to the institutes of the FriarsPreachers (and) of St. Augustine in England, with eight companions.,but neither to spend the night nor to eat there.

He was present in Westminster Abbey on 10December 1291 when the heart of his father, Henry III, which had beenpromised to the monastery of Fontevrault, was delivered, to theAbbess, for burial there. On 28 December 1292 he had a grant inreversion of the castle, town and honour of Pontefract. On 6 May 1293he gave an undertaking to the merchants of the Society of Pulci andRembertini of Florence to hold them harmless in respect of £10,000arising from the tenths in aid of the Holy Land which he had rcceivedfrom the collectors thereof, the Bishops of Winchester and Lincoln. On18 June 1293 he had licence to alienate in mortmain land in St.Botolph's without Aldgate to nuns Minoresses whom his wife Blanche wasbringing into England, and on 21 June he had licence to crenellatc hishouse called Sauvey (Savoy) in the parish of St. Clement Danes. It issaid that in 1293, being then abroad with his wife, he effected areconciliation between the Kings of England and France after Edwardhad refused to obey Philippe le Bel's summons to Paris. On 22 March1293/4 his letters patent from King Edward directing the surrender toPhilippe of parts of Guienne were shown to the jurats of Bordeaux, whothereupon swore aRegiance to Philippe, but the latter, while acceptingthe strongholds offered as pledges of good faith, proceedcd to invadeGuienne.

On 9 June 1297 his widow made oathof fealty to the King for her dower lands. She died 2 May 1302. [CP7:378-87, 14:421]

Everything we know about the children born to Edmund of Lancaster andAveline de Forz comes from the Anglo-Norman chronicles written forEdmund's niece Mary (1279-1332), daughter of King Edward I, by the
Dominican friar Nicholas Trevet. This chronicle is packed with a gooddeal of intimate Plantagenet family lore that Mary probably toldTrevet, and given that his source was a ranking member of the family,his information is not to be rejected out of hand. (Surprisinglythough, the chronicle has
never been fully edited.)

According to Trevet, Aveline was the mother of two children who didnot survive. We know that her marriage to Edmund was consummated inFeb 1273, the month in which Aveline turned 14, and that she died inNovember 1274. There is not really enough time there to allow forpregnancies, which argues that the children were twins. Furthermore,it is probable that the twins did not survive birth. According to thelaws and customs of England, if a man married an heiress and she borehim a child that lived long enough for its cries to be heard withinthe birth chamber, the husband and father was entitled to
continue to hold his wife's inheritance for the rest of his life,whether the child survived or not. (This was known as "the courtesy ofEngland.") We know that Edmund of Lancaster did not hold Aveline'slands after her death; thus any children she bore him could not havesurvived birth. In the thirteenth century it was rare for twins tosurvive at all (Blanche of Castile's twin sons barely survived birth),and a dangerous twin delivery could easily explain Aveline's earlydeath when she was not yet 16.

Aveline was the heiress to both her parents--to her father for theearldom of Albemarle and the barony of Cockermouth, and to her mother(or rather grandmother) for the earldom of Devon and the lordship ofthe Isle of Wight. Her ancestry can thus be traced in CP under thoseearldoms and in Sanders' _English Baronies_ under "Cockermouth."
