Note* Ralph de Wayer, Guader, or de Waet, was constituted by William theConqueror, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk. Some of our historians affirmthat this nobleman was an Englishman by birth, born in Norfolk, butothers, that he was a native of Brittany, which is the more probable ashe was the owner of the castle of Guader, in that province. Of this earlthere is nothing memorable beyond his conspiracy against his royalmaster, whom he sought to destroy or expel, and to that end drew into hisplans Roger, Earl of Hereford, Waltheof, the great Earl ofNorthumberland, and other persons of distinction. He m. Emma, sister ofthe Earl of Hereford, and he took the opportunity of his wedding day todisclose to the conspirators, when they were elated with wine, the wholeof his projects. As soon, however, as they had recovered the effect ofinebriation, the greater number refused to participate and the Earl ofHereford alone joined him in openly resorting to arms. The rebellion wasquickly suppressed, however, by those stout and warlike prelates, Odo,bishop of Bayeux, and Geffrey, bishop of Worcester. The Earl of Norfolkfled into Brittany, leaving his followers to their fate in theirencampment at Cambridge; of those, many were put to the sword and morewere taken prisoner. The castle of Norwich was subsequently besieged andhis countess obliged to surrender, but she was suffered to go beyondsea. In the end, this turbulent person assumed the cross and joined anexpedition to Jerusalem against the Turks under Robert Curthose where heafterwards became a pilgrim and died a great penitent. He left issue,two sons and a dau., viz., Ralph, Alan, and Amicia. By the treason ofRalph de Wayer, his earldom became forfeited. [Sir Bernard Burke,Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd.,London, 1883, p. 571, Wayer, or Guader, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk] NOTE: Amicia, the daughter mentioned above, was not his daughter but wasthe daughter of his son, Ralph. Had she been the daughter of Ralph, Sr.,she would have been at least 20 years older than her husband, Robert,Earl of Leicester.2

Pedigree
Father-Bio*c 0985Osbern FitzHerfast , Seneschal of Normandy2
Mother-Bio*c 0985Emma of Ivry (?)2
Note* William FitzOsbern was a military adventurer on a grand scale. The son ofOsbern the Seneschal, one of William the Conqueror's murdered guardians,he became a close friend and steward of the duke. At the Council ofLillebonne in 1066 he urged the Norman barons to invade England and laterplayed a leading role in the campaign commanding, according to thetwelfth century writer Wace, the right wing at Hastings. His importancewas signalled by the vast English estates with which he was rewarded,notably in the Wesh Marches. Within six months of Hastings, FitzOsbernwas earl of Hereford and, with Odo of Bayeux, viceroy of England duringWilliam's absence in Normandy (March-December 1067). Heavily engaged indefence and assault against the Welsh, he assumed the task vital torulers of the English since the seventh century. FitzOsbern set abouthis responsibilities with particular vigour and acumen. He becamenotorious for his generosity to his knights, lavishing special legalimmunities and large wages on those who served him, this dispersal oftreasure incurring, so William of Malmesbury two generations laterclaimed, the disapproval of the king. To reward his knights further, hesettled many of them on lands previously belonging to the church.Uninhibited in exploiting his power over laity as well as clergy, hebuilt a number of castles, for example at Clifford, Wigmore and Chepstow,with local forced labour. Such a policy was merely a continuation ofearlier public obligations to contibute to the construction of rampartswhich had been fully employed by rulers at least as far back as Ethelbaldand Offa of Mercia in the eighth century. Now it provoked a revolt by anEnglish dissident, Edric the Wild, in Herefordshire who allied with Welshprinces. Two years later, in 1069, FitzOsbern helped King Williamsuppress the Northern insurrection and dealt with more trouble fromEdric. He attracted further hostile comment from ecclesiastical writersby apparently advising a financially hard-pressed king in 1070 to seizetreasure from the English monasteries. The main source for FitzOsbern'slife, Orderic Vitalis, is torn between admiration at his material successand disapproval of his methods. Of the former there was no doubt. AtChristmas 1070 he was in Normandy helping administer the duchy. Earl in1071 he was sent to Flanders to protect the regent, Richildis, and herson, Arnulf, the young count (and William's nephew), against a rivalclaimant, Robert 'le Frison', Arnulf's uncle. To secure FitzOsbern's aid,Richildis offered him her hand in marriage. The air of chivalric romancewas caught by the contemporary observation that FitzOsbern travelled toFlanders 'as if to a game.' If so, it proved fatal. He was killed inthe decisive battle with Robert 'le Frison' at Cassel in February 1071. FitzOsbern's dramatic career showed that the immemorial skills of warriorand warlord remained as central to the success of William the Conqueroras to that of any of the great fighting kings and heroes of the earlyMiddle Ages. Whatever their political or administrative talents, whichnow seem rather less compelling than once they did, the French invadersof 1066 secured their conquests by violence, often crude and extreme.But it should be noticed the FitzOsbern secured his military support byrewards of cash and privileges as much as by grants of land: he relied ona paid host, not a 'feudal' levy in the classic sense. His life alsosuggests that in the eleventh as in other centuries, there was only afine line separating art and nature: a murdered father; personal bravery;cruel conquest; great wealth and friendship with the great won by thesword; international fame for arms; a dowager in distress; the offer ofmarriage as well as power; and a death in the defence of a widow andorphan. Compared to the images manufactured by Norman apologists forKing William himself, FitzOsbern may appear a throwback to a nastier,more vicious age. Yet in achieving great power and strength and theexpenditure of large sums of money, FitzOsbern and his master, ruthlessopportunists both, had much in common.

By somehistorians, this nobleman is styled Earl of Carlisle, from residing inthat city; and they further state that he came over in the train of theConqueror, assisted in the subjugation of England, and shared, of course,in the spoil of conquest. He was lord of Cumberland and Carlisle, bydescent from his father, but having enfeoffed his two brothers, William,of Coupland, and Geffrey, of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, heexchanged the Earldom of Cumberland for that of Chester, on conditionthat those whom he had settled there should hold their lands of the king,in capite.

Note* [Source: Who's Who in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman,Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd., London, 1996] ROBERT, EARL OF GLOUCESTER had all the kingly attributes except one:legitimacy. The eldest of Henry I's twenty or so bastards, literate,intelligent, brave, adept at the factional politics of court, and apatron of both the church and the arts, Robert had to stand back to watchothers compete for the throne, literally so in 1127 when he lost hisclaim to precedence over his cousin Stephen of Blois when doing homage tohis half-sister the Empress Matilda. It was some measure of an increasein orderliness and legal propriety that William the Bastard could inherita duchy and win a crown, while his grandson, Robert, whose personalcrudentials were second to none, had to be content with a supporting role. Under Henry I, Robert was prominent in a party consistently loyal to theking. In 1119, Robert fought at Brémule against the king of France andin 1123 against the Norman rebels; in 1126, he was given custody of hisuncle Robert Curthose. Despite acquiescing in Matilda's succession, hestill fought against the Angevins on Henry's behalf in the 1130s.Robert's reward was in lands in South Wales and the West Country and theearldom of Gloucester (1122). After Henry's death in 1135, it was nothis loyalty to the Empress which swayed him so much as his ownself-interest: arguably, his hesitation in deciding where that layallowed Stephen to grab the throne. Admired by William of Malmesbury, Robert has traditionally been seen as anoble, chivalrous defender of the hereditary rights of his half-sister.His actions between 1135 and 1139 suggest more selfish motives. Hisunusual conditional homage to Stephen in 1136 signalled his importance tothe new king but it may also have been forced on him by his isolationamong the English baronage and the threat to his lands in South-EastWales posed by a Welsh revolt, the crushing of which, it has recentlybeen suggested, may have prompted Robert's literary protégé, Geoffrey ofMonmouth, to write his 'History of the Kings of Britain.' AlthoughRobert cooperated with Stephen at the siege of Exeter in 1136, he soonbecame alienated from the new regime, not least because of the favoursgranted to the Beaumont twins, Waleran of Meulan and Robert of Leicester,old rivals from the court of Henry I. Opposition to the Beaumontsprovide a leitmotif in the rest of Robert of Gloucester's career, notleast in the fighting at Wareham (1138), Worcester (1139) and Tewkesbury(1140). It was probably the growing influence of Waleran of Meulan in particularthat led to Robert distancing himself from the king in Normandy in 1137and his fears of assassination by the royalist mercenary, William ofYpres. In 1138, the formal break with Stephen occurred, but after thefailure of the Angevins to capture Normandy in 1138-9, Robert, perhaps indesperation lest his English estates would be lost, landed at Arundelwith Matilda to dispute the English throne. In England, Robert providedthe judicious advice, material support and personal charm that Matilda soconspicuously lacked. That she retained followers at all may in parthave been the achivement of her gregarious and generous half-brother withhis knack for friendship. Although playing the leading military role onthe Empress's side, Robert also managed to use the civil war to build analmost impregnable power-base for himself in South-West England, centredon Bristol, a control that the vicissitudes of the wider dynasticstruggle did little to challenge. 1141 saw his greatest triumph in thecrushing defeat of the king at Lincoln in February, but his victoryexposed the vulnerability of his position. Unless he looked after hisown interests, he would have no more guarantee of security at an Angevinthan at a Blois court. The former suddenly looked a forlorn prospectafter the Rout of Winchester in September, where only Robert's personalcourage and chivalry secured Matilda's escape at the price of his owncapture. The subsequent exchange of Robert for Stephen inaugurated stalemate,during which Robert consolidated his hold over the South-West (just ashis rival Robert of Leicester extended his grip on the Midlands). To theend, Robert was inflexible, not only over the Angevin claim but, moredamaging to prospects of civil peace, in harbouring the factionalrivalries and grudges of the 1130s. Robert's death in 1147 allowedEnglish magnates to make private accomodations with each other: Robert'sown son, William, even married Robert of Leicester's daughter, Hawise ofBeaumont, c. 1150. It may be no coincidence that only a few months afterher faithful defender died, Matilda left England. If Robert of Gloucester was a vigorous politician, he was also one of theleading literary patrons of his generation. Apparently something of anintellectual himself, eager at quoting Biblical analogies, Robert was thefocus of a group of writers which included the historian William ofMalmesbury and the historical romancer Geoffrey of Monmouth, writers ofsecular narrative histories whose interest in the epic past of Britainwas presumably shared by their patron. William of Malmesbury's revised'Gesta Regum' was dedicated to him, as was his 'Historia Novella' whichextensively eulogises the earl. Not only was Robert one of thededicatees of Geoffrey of Monmouth's 'History,' but he circulated copiesof it to his monastic foundations and to his friends, including WalterEspec. Inside the nobility's metal helmet and chain mail were men ofcultivation and intellectual curiosity. Robert employed mercenaries suchas the bestial psychopath Robert FitzHubert; at the same time he fostereda literary genre that captured the imagination of the civilised world.1

Note* Roger of Montgomery, first earl of Shrewbury, created one of the mostpowerful and strategically important lordships in post-Conquest England.The son of a Norman vicomte, he first appears in the army of Duke Williamin 1051-2. Probably only a few years younger than the duke, thereafterhe enjoyed William's special confidence. In the early 1050s he greatlyincreased his estates by marrying the forceful Mabel, heiress to theextensive lordship of Bellême. Although closely involved in planning theinvasion of 1066, Roger remained in the duchy to help the administrationof the Duchess Matilda. It was only the later romances of Wace that puthim at Hastings, a tribute to his subsequent fame and reputation. In1067, however, he accompanied William to England where he received hugeestates in Sussex and Shropshire. By the end of 1074, he was titled earlof Shrewsbury. His administration of his Marcher lands provide aninsight in how the Conquest was secured. Roger had a more or less freehand. Before 1066, there had been no crown lands or royal thegns inShropshire; by 1086, apart from Roger, there were only five other laytenants-in-chief in the whole county. To support him, Roger gave outland to men already his vassals in Normandy with whom he set aboutbuilding castles (as at Shrewsbury and Montgomery) and extending hispower into Wales. Orderic Vitalis, whose father, Odelerius, was Roger'schaplain, described the earl as wise and prudent, 'a lover of justice,who always enjoyed the company of learned and sober men.' His Englishsubjects were as unimpressed as they were unfavoured. The citizens ofShrewsbury complained that they still had to pay the same level of geldafter the castle had been built as before, perhaps because of the loss ofhouses incurred in its construction, let alone the forced labour.Roger's rule was effective and ruthless: his authority based on ties ofpersonal allegiance; a network of castles; successful protection from theWelsh; and brute force. In many ways he remained a conquereor andexploiter rather than a settler. But he left his mark on the Marches, inhis castle mounds and the perpetuation of his name in the Welsh town andcounty of Montgomery. As J. LePatourel wrote, Roger's career 'shows whatwas possible in Norman society during the eleventh century.' [Who'sWho in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman, Shepheard-Walwyn,Ltd., London, 1996] A great patron of monasticism, he became a monk in his newly foundedAbbey of Shrewsbury just before he died in 1094. His Norman inheritancepassed to his eldest surviving son, Robert of Bellême, and the title andthe English lands went to Robert's younger brother, Hugh. Upon thelatter's death in 1098, the title went to Robert. [EncyclopaediaBritannica CD '97]1

Note* ROBERT OF BELLÊME, EARL OF SHREWSBURY, was one of the most powerfulAnglo-Norman magnates of the second generation after the Conquest. Sonof Roger of Montgomery, first earl of Shrewsbury, he had already acquiredlarge estates in Normandy and Maine before his father's death in 1094when he received, as the elder surviving son, the patrimonial lands inthe duchy. In 1098, on the death of his younger brother Hugh, hereceived the extensive Marcher earldom of Shrewsbury and the familyproperty in Sussex, to which Robert added the Midland fief of Tickhill bypurchase and the county of Ponthieu by marriage. He thus controlledlands stretching from the Somme estuary and northern Maine, throughNormandy, southern England to the Midlands and into Wales. Hepersonified a Norman 'Empire' linked rather than divided by the Channel.In Rufus's reign he was notorious for two things: his cruelty and hisinterest in military architecture, both useful attributes for a man inhis position. If his power was spectacular, so was his fall. Robert hadsupported Robert Curthose for the English throne in 1088 and, although hehad formally accepted Henry I in 1100, retained this loyalty, possiblycalculating that his own power would be the greater under the ineffectualCurthose. In 1102, all his English lands were confiscated after anabortive attempt to resist Henry, who, unable to trust Robert, haddetermined to destroy him. The rest of Robert's political career wasspent in Normandy, his opposition to Henry persisting even afterCurthose's defeat in 1106. In 1112 Henry lost patience. Robert wasarrested and incarcerated, first in Normandy, then, from 1113, at Warehamin Dorset. There he spent the rest of his life, hidden from view exceptfor a reference in the Pipe Roll of 1130 to payments for his maintenanceand clothing. The Wheel of Fortune had come round. His grandfather hadbeen a minor ducal official in Normandy. Through good marriages, thepatronage of William the Conqueror, and their own predatory instincts,the family had reached the highest rung of the nobility. Their rise hadbeen spotted with blood, of their opponents and subjects; sometimes theirown: Robert's mother, Mabel, had been brutally murdered; his brother Hughkilled by a viking on a raid to Anglesey. The ascent and destruction ofRobert's family provides an object lesson in how Anglo-Norman politicsworked away from the sanitized niceties of government bookkeeping.[Source: Who's Who in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman,Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd., London, 1996] ---------- ROBERT OF BELLÊME, 3rd EARL OF SHROPSHIRE or SHREWSBURY, Bellême alsospelled Belesme (b. c. 1052--d. after 1130, Wareham, Dorset, Eng.),Norman magnate, soldier, and outstanding military architect, who for atime was the most powerful vassal of the English crown under the secondand third Norman kings, William II Rufus (died 1100) and Henry I. Hiscontemporary reputation for sadism was extreme, even among the cruelNormans. A younger son of Roger de Montgomery, 1st earl of Shropshire orShrewsbury, Robert inherited lordships in Normandy, among them Bellême(in the present French département of Orne). In the struggle between thetwo older sons of King William I the Conqueror he originally sided withDuke Robert II Curthose of Normandy, but in 1097 he fought for the otherson, William II Rufus, against the Duke and King Philip I of France.Also on behalf of Rufus, he captured Helias (Hélie), count of Maine,thereby securing the important town of Le Mans for the English. Hisgreatest work of military architecture was the castle of Gisors, on theborder between Normandy and the French kingdom. After Henry I, who had been Robert's chief rival for power in Normandy,had succeeded Henry's older brother, Rufus, as king of England, Robertrebelled (1101-02). He was deprived of his English lands and earldom(1102) and unsuccessfully fought against Henry in the Battle ofTinchebrai (Sept. 28, 1106). King Louis VI of France sent him (November1112) as ambassador to Henry I, who quickly arrested Robert andimprisoned him for the rest of his life. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97]1

Note* Robert of Mortain, half-brother of William the Conqueror, became thewealthiest subject of the English crown in the generation after theConquest. The second son of the Conqueror's mother, Herleve, andHerluin, vicomte of Conteville, Robert was appointed count of Mortain insouth-west Normandy by William around 1055. Robert's elevation was partof William's policy of creating a close network of loyal nobles, oftenrelated to the ducal house, with and through whom William controlled hisduchy and, later, was to conquer his kingdom (Robert's full brother, Odo,was bishop of Bayeux). Robert's prominent part in the invasion ofEngland was remembered in his depiction in the Bayeux Tapestry advisingWilliam with his brother Odo after the landing at Pevensey. Both atHastings and during the often difficult pacification of England 1066-69,Robert proved an effective military subordinate to William. His rewardwas massive. By 1086, with almost eight hundred manors from Sussex toYorkshire to Cornwall, as well as valuable castles, such as Pevensey,Robert was the greatest secular landholder after the king and thechurch. Together, his and Odo's estates were worth £5,000: the nextrichest lay holding were valued at £750. However powerful his grip onhis vassals, William preferred to keep power in the family. Thispresented problems; both his brother Odo of Bayeux and son RobertCurthose openly rebelled. Unlike the restless Odo, Robert of Mortainmade little individual mark on events. He spent much time with hishalf-brother in a career, until 1087, conspicuous by its loyalty. In1087, Robert persuaded the dying king to release Odo from prison and wasprobably one of those who insisted that Robert Curthose succeed toNormandy. Although initially accepting William Rufus as king, in 1088Robert threw in his lot with Odo and Curthose. He held Pevensey for therebels, withstanding a six-week siege by Rufus in person. After hissubmission, he was pardoned but withdrew to Normandy to die. Robertemerges dimly from the records, the least colourful or defined of afamily of striking personalities. He seems to have been on close termswith both his brothers and to have harboured a soft spot for RobertCurthose. Alternatively, he wished to preside over his lands free fromsuperior exactions, an independence fostered perhaps by his paternalinheritance (it was in his father's monastery at Grestain that he wasburied), and later offered by the policies of Odo and the character ofCurthose. Only the accident of his mother's liaison with Duke Robert Ielevated this child of provincial aristocracy to the greatest heights ofthe Anglo-Norman baronage. In the eleventh century at least, nobilitycould be acquired by favour and fortune, not just by blood. [Source:Who's Who in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman,Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd., London, 1996] ---------- Robert de Moreton, Earl of Cornwall with a grant of 793 manors. In thetime of William Rufus, this nobleman joining his brother, the Earl ofKent, raised the standard of rebellion in favour of Robert Curthose, andheld the castle of Pevensey for that prince.

In the very hour that the king received thefatal stroke, the Earl of Cornwall being hunting in a wood at a distancefrom the place and, left alone by his attendants, was accidentally met bya very great black goat bearing the king all black and naked and woundedthrough the midst of his breast. Adjuring the goat by the Holy Trinityto tell what that was he so carried, he answered, 'I am carrying yourking to judgement, yea, that tyrant, William Rufus, for I am an evilspirit and the revenger of malice which he bore to the church of God, andit was I that did cause this his slaughter; the protomartyr of England,St. Alban, commanded me so to do, who complained to God of him for hisgrievous oppressions in the Isle of Britain, which he first hallowed.All which the earl soon after related to his followers.' His lordshipwas s. by his son, William de Moreton, 2nd Earl of Cornwall.
