This nobleman was one of the lords present at Lincoln whenWilliam, King of Scotland, did homage to the English monarch, and hesubsequently obtained large grants and immunities from King John; when,however, the baronial war broke out, his lordship's pennant waved on theside of freedom and he became so eminent amongst those sturdy chiefs thathe was chosen one of the celebrated twenty-five barons appointed toenforce the observance of Magna Carta. Adhering to the same party afterthe accession of Henry III, the Earl of Winchester had a principalcommand at the battle of Lincoln and, there being defeated, was takenprisoner by the royalists. But submitting in the following October, hehad restitution of all his lands and proceeded soon after, in companywith the Earls of Chester and Arundel and others of the nobility, to theHoly Land where he assisted at the siege of Damietta, anno 1219, and d.the same year in his progress towards Jerusalem.

Mother-Bio*c 1120Maud FitzRobert2
Event-Misc* M2
Note* This nobleman, Hugh (Keveliok), 3rd Earl of Chester, joined in therebellion of the Earl of Lancaster and the King of Scots against KingHenry II, and in support of that monarch's son, Prince Henry'spretensions to the crown. In which proceeding he was taken prisoner withthe Earl of Leicester at Alnwick, but obtained his freedom soonafterwards upon the king's reconciliation with the young prince. Again,however, hoisting the standard of revolt both in England and Normandy,with as little success, he was again seized and then detained a prisonerfor some years. He eventually, however, obtained his liberty andrestoration of his lands when public tranquility became completelyreestablished some time about the 23rd year of the king's reign. Hislordship m. Bertred, dau. of Simon, Earl of Evereux, in Normandy, and hadissue, I. Ranulph, his successor; I. Maud, m. to David, Earl ofHuntingdon, brother of William, King of Scotland, and had one son andfour daus., viz., 1. John, surnamed Le Scot, who s. to the Earldom ofChester, d. s. p. 7 June, 1237; 1. Margaret, m. to Alan de Galloway, andhad a dau., Devorguilla, m. to John de Baliol, and was mother of John deBaliol, declared King of Scotland in the reign of Edward I; 2. Isabel, m.to Robert de Brus, and was mother of Robert de Brus, who contended forthe crown of Scotland, temp. Edward I; 3. Maud, d. unm.; Ada, m. to Henryde Hastings, one of the competitors for the Scottish crown, temp. EdwardI; II. Mabill, m. to William de Albini, Earl of Arundel; III. Agnes, m.to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby; IV. Hawise, m. to Robert, son ofSayer de Quincy, Earl of Winchester. The earl had another dau., whose legitimacy is questionable, namely,Amicia,* m. to Ralph de Mesnilwarin, justice of Chester, 'a person,' saysDugdale, 'of very ancient family,' from which union the Mainwarings, ofOver Peover, in the co. Chester, derive. Dugdale considers Amicia to bea dau. of the earl by a former wife. But Sir Peter Leicester, in hisAntiquities of Chester, totally denies her legitimacy. 'I cannot butmislike,' says he, 'the boldness and ignorance of that herald who gave toMainwaring (late of Peover), the elder, the quartering of the Earl ofChester's arms; for if he ought of right to quarter that coat, then musthe be descended from a co-heir to the Earl of Chester; but he was not;for the co-heirs of Earl Hugh married four of the greatest peers in thekingdom.' The earl d. at Leeke, in Staffordshire, in 1181, and was s. by his onlyson, Ranulph, surnamed Blundevil (or rather Blandevil) from the place ofhis birth, the town of Album Monasterium, modern Oswestry, in Powys), as4th Earl of Chester. * Upon the question of this lady's legitimacy there was a long paper warbetween Sir Peter Leicester and Sir Thomas Mainwaring---and eventuallythe matter was referred to the judges, of whose decision Wood says, 'atan assize held at Chester, 1675, the controversy was decided by thejustices itinerant, who, as I have heard, adjudged the right of thematter to Mainwaring.'

Note* Roger de Lacy, constable of Chester, assisted at the siege of Acon in1192 under the banner of the lion-hearted Richard, and shared in thesubsequent triumphs of the chivalrous monarch. At the accession of Johnin 1199, he was a person of great eminence, for we find him shortly afterthe coronation of that prince deputed with the sheriff of Northumberlandand other great men to conduct William, King of Scotland, to Lincoln,where the English king had fixed to give him an interview, and the nextyear he was one of the barons present at Lincoln, when David, ofScotland, did homage and fealty to King John. In the time of this Roger, Ranulph, Earl of Chester, having entered Walesat the head of some forces, was compelled by superior numbers to shuthimself up in the castle of Rothelan, where, being closely besieged bythe Welsh, he sent for aid to the constable of Chester. Hugh Lupus, the1st Earl of Chester, in his charter of foundation of the abbey of St.Werberg, at Chester, had given a privilege to the frequenters of Chesterfair, 'That they should not be apprehended for theft or any other offenceduring the time of the fair, unless the crime was committed therein.'This privilege made the fair, of course, the resort of thieves andvagabonds from all parts of the kingdom. Accordingly, the constable,Roger de Laci, forthwith marched to his relief at the head of a concourseof people then collected at the fair of Chester, consisting of minstrelsand loose characters of all descriptions, forming altogether so numerousa body that the besiegers, at their approach, mistaking them forsoldiers, immediately raised the siege. For this timely service, theEarl of Chester conferred upon de Lacy and his heirs the patronage of allthe minstrels in those parts, which patronage the constable transferredto his steward, Dutton, and his heirs; and it is enjoyed to this day bythe family of Dutton. It is doubtful, however, whether the privilege was transferred to theDuttons by this constable or his successor. The privilege was, 'That, atthe midsummer fair held at Chester, all the minstrels of that country,resorting to Chester, do attend the heir of Dutton, from his lodging toSt. John's Church (he being then accompanied by many gentlemen of thecountry, one of them walking before him in a surcoat of his arms depictedon taffeta, the rest of his fellows proceeding two and two, and playingon their several sorts of musical instruments.'] When divine serviceterminates, the like attendance upon Dutton to his lodging, where a courtbeing kept by his steward, and all the minstrels formally called, certainorders and laws are made for the government of the society of minstrels. Roger de Lacy was s. by his son, John de Lacy, constable of Chester.[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages,Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 310-311, Lacy, Earls of Lincoln] Roger, Constable of Chester, Lord of Halton and Pontefract, have to hisbrother Robert the Lordship of Flambro. He participated in theachievements of the Lion hearted Richard and was anvestor of the Lacys,Earls of Lincoln. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britainand Ireland, Vol. I, R.

Note* John de Lacy, Constable of Chester, in the 15th year of King John,undertook the payment of 7,000 marks to the crown in the space of fouryears for the livery of the lands of his inheritance and to be dischargedof all his father's debts due to the exchequer; further obliging himselfby oath that, in case he should ever swerve from his allegiance andadhere to the king's enemies, all his possessions should devolve upon thecrown; promising also that he would not marry without the king's license.By this agreement it was arranged that the king should retain the castlesof Pontefract and Dunnington, still in his own hands; and that he, thesaid John, should allow £40 per annum for the custody of thosefortresses. But the next year he had Dunnington restored to him uponhostages. About this period he joined the baronial standard and was oneof the celebrated twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observanceof Magna Carta. But the next year he obtained letters of safe conduct tocome to the king to make his peace, and he had similar letters upon theaccession of Henry III, in the 2nd year of which monarch's reign he wentwith divers other noblemen into the Holy Land. He m.

Note* Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford and 2nd Earl of Gloucester, thenin minority at the decease of his father in 1229. The wardship of thisyoung nobleman was granted to the famous Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent,Justiciary of England, whose dau., Margaret, to the great displeasure ofthe king (Henry III), he afterwards (1243) clandestinely married but fromwhom he was probably divorced, for we find the king marrying him the nextyear to Maude, dau. of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, in considerationwhereof the said John paid to the crown 5,000 marks and remitted a debtof 2,000 more. His lordship, who appears to have been a verydistinguished personage in the reign of Henry III, was one of the chiefnobles present in Westminster Hall (40th Henry III) [1256], whenBoniface, archbishop of Canterbury, with divers other prelates,pronounced that solemn curse, with candles lighted, against all those whoshould thenceforth violate Magna Carta. In two years afterwards, anattempt was made by Walter de Scotenay, his chief counsellor, to poisonthe earl and his brother William, which proved effective as to thelatter, while his lordship narrowly escaped with the loss of his hair andnails. In the next year the earl was commissioned, with others of thenobility by the appointment of the king and the whole baronage ofEngland, to the parliament of France to convey King Henry III'sresignation of Normandy and to adjust all differences between the twocrowns; and upon the return of the mission, his lordship reportedproceedings to the king, in parliament. About this period he had licenseto fortify the isle of Portland and to embattle it as a fortress. It isreported of this nobleman that, being at Tewkesbury in the 45th Henry III[1261], a Jew, who had fallen into a jakes upon the Saturday, refusing tobe pulled out in reverence of the Jewish sabbath, his lordship prohibitedany help to be afforded him on the next day, the Christian sabbath, andthus suffered the unfortunate Israelite to perish. He d. himself in theJuly of the next year (1262), having been poisoned at the table of Peterde Savoy, the queen's uncle, along with Baldwin, Earl of Devon, and otherpersons of note. His lordship left issue, Gilbert, his successor,Thomas, Rose, and Margaret. The earl was s. by his elder son, Gilbert deClare. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke'sPeerage, London, 1883, p. 119, Clare, Lords of Clare, Earls of Hertford,Earls of Gloucester] ---------- Richard de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester, 8TH EARL OF CLARE, 6TH EARL OFHERTFORD (b. Aug. 4, 1222--d. July 15, 1262, Eschemerfield, nearCanterbury, Kent, Eng.), the most powerful English noble of his time. Heheld estates in more than 20 English counties, including the lordship ofTewkesbury, wealthy manors in Gloucester, and the great marcher lordshipof Glamorgan. He himself acquired the Kilkenny estates in Ireland and thelordship of Usk and Caerleon in south Wales, making him the greatest lordin south Wales; in Glamorgan especially he was almost an independentprince. Son of Gilbert de Clare (the 6th Earl), Richard succeeded to the earldomsin October 1230. He refused to help King Henry III on the Frenchexpedition of 1253 but was with him afterward at Paris. Thereafter hewent on a diplomatic errand to Scotland and was sent to Germany to workamong the princes for the election of his stepfather, Richard, Earl ofCornwall, as king of the Romans. About 1258 Gloucester became a leader ofthe barons in their resistance to the king, and he was prominent duringthe proceedings that followed the Mad Parliament at Oxford in 1258. In1259, however, he quarreled with Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester;the dispute, begun in England, was renewed in France, and he was again inthe confidence of the king. This attitude, too, was only temporary, andin 1261 Gloucester and Montfort were again working in concord.[Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, GLOUCESTER, RICHARD DE CLARE, 7THEARL OF]2

Albreda (?)1 (F)
b. c 1098, d. 1166
Event-Misc* F1
Note* Based upon information contained on CD100, Automated Family Pedigrees #1,Automated Archives, Inc., Albreda is the daughter of Robert de Lacy andMaude du Perche. According to Burke [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, andExtinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 310, Lacy,Earls of Lincoln], Robert de Lacy, dying s. p. in 1193, the Barony ofPontefract was then inherited by Albreda de Lisours, his half-sister,dau. of Robert's mother, Albreda, by her second husband, Eudo leLisours. Albreda de Lacy is, therefore, being shown as wife of Henry deLacy rather than daughter of Robert de Lacy and Maude du Perche, and thatshe isn't a de Lacy by blood, but by marriage. If Albreda were thesister of Robert de Lacy, as shown on CD100 referenced above, thenAlbreda de Lisours would be his niece rather than his half-sister. I have checked Brian Tompsett's Directory of Royal Genealogical Data, buthe doesn't have the line extended further back than John de Lacy, 1stEarl of Lincoln. Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, 3rd ed., doesn't haveanything on the de Lacy line at all since they were not ancestors of Johnof Gaunt.1

Note* Ranulph de Meschines (surnamed de Gernons, from being born in GernonCastle, in Normandy), Earl of Chester. This nobleman, who was a leadingmilitary character, took an active part with the Empress Maud, and theyoung Prince Henry, against King Stephen, in the early part of thecontest, and having defeated the king and made him prisoner at the battleof Lincoln, committed him to the castle of Bristol. He subsequently,however, sided with the king, and finally, distrusted by all, died underexcommunication in 1155, supposed to have been poisoned by WilliamPeverell, Lord of Nottingham, who being suspected of the crime, is saidto have turned monk to avoid its punishment. The earl m. Maud, dau. ofRobert, surnamed the Consul, Earl of Gloucester, natural son of KingHenry I, and had issue, Hugh, his successor, named Keveliok, from theplace of his birth, in Merionethshire; Richard; Beatrix, m. to Ralph deMalpas. His lordship was s. by his elder son, Hugh (Keveliok), 3rd Earlof Chester. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke'sPeerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 365, Meschines, Earls of Chester] ---------- Ranulf II de Gernons, 4th Earl of Chester, VICOMTE (Viscount) DE BAYEUX,VICOMTE D'AVRANCHES, Ranulf also spelled RANDULF, or RALPH (b. c.1100--d. Dec. 16, 1153), a key participant in the English civil war (from1139) between King Stephen and the Holy Roman empress Matilda (also aclaimant to the throne of England). Ranulf, nicknamed 'aux Gernons' (i.e.moustaches), played a prominent and vacillating part in the civil war ofStephen's reign, his actions, in common with most of his peers, springingfrom personal grievances rather than dynastic loyalty or principle.Ranulf's father, Ranulf I, had been granted the earldom of Chester in1121 after his maternal uncle had drowned in the White Ship disaster(1120) but, in return, had been compelled to surrender Cumberland and hispatrimony of Carlisle. The restoration of these lost estates was themainspring of much of Ranulf II's political life. Inheriting the Chesterearldom in 1129, he initially supported Stephen as king after 1135.However, successive treaties between Stephen and King David of Scotlandin 1136 and 1139 gave the Scots large tracts of land in Cumberlandcoveted by Ranulf who reacted by seizing the town and besieging thecastle. Ranulf now allied with the Empress Matilda in defeating the kingat Lincoln in February 1141, capturing and briefly imprisoning Stephen.Ranulf's association with the Angevin party was cemented by his marriagein 1141 to the daughter of Robert of Gloucester. Later (1149) hetransferred his allegiance to the king in return for a grant of the cityand castle of Lincoln. Coventry received its original charter from him.However, his territorial ambitions were no closer realisation as the kingof Scots was also a close ally of Matilda. In 1145, Ranulf wasreconciled to Stephen. However, there was no love lost between Ranulfand the king's entourage, many of whom had suffered at his hands. InAugust, 1146, at Northampton, Ranulf was suddenly arrested and put inchains when he refused the king's demand to restore all lands he hadtaken. He was only released when he surrendered all former royalproperty, including Lincoln. Stephen's arrest of Ranulf was a publicrelations disaster. He had broken his oath of reconciliation of 1145 andhis own promise of protection, thus deterring any more defections fromthe Angevin faction. Stephen had breached a central tenet of effectivemedieval rule, that of being a good -- i.e. fair -- lord. Ranulf joinedHenry FitzEmpress and was reconciled with David of Scotland who, inreturn for the lavish grant to Ranulf of most of Lancashire, retainedCarlisle. But Ranulf was never a party man. His priorities remainedcentred on his own territorial and dynastic advantage, as shown by his'conventio' with a leading royalist baron Robert of Leicester (1149/53).Under this treaty, the two magnates, independently of their rivalliege-lords Stephen and Henry FitzEmpress, agreed to limit anyhostilities forced between them by their masters and to protect theirrespective tenurial positions. Ranulf's career, notorious for his arrestin 1146, is more significant as evidence that the drama of high politicswas played against a dense background of baronial competition for rights,lands, and inheritances which took precedence over any claims of royalty.[Encyclopædia Britannica CD '97, RANULF DE GERNONS, 4TH EARL OF CHESTER]3

Note* This nobleman, upon the return of King Richard from captivity, took armsin his behalf and, joining the Earl of Chester, besieged NottinghamCastle, which, after a brief resistance, surrendered. For this and otheracts of fidelity, he was chosen by the king to sit with the rest of thepeers in the great council held at the said castle in Nottingham in theensuing March. Moreover, at Richard's second coronation he was one of thefour that carried the canopy over the king's head. Upon the accession ofKing John, his lordship, with the Earls of Clare and Chester, and othergreat men, swore fealty to the new monarch but upon the condition thateach person should have his right. His lordship was present at thecoronation of King John and 7 June following, being solemnly created Earlof Derby by special charter dated at Northampton, he was girt with asword by the king's own hands (being the first of whom in any charterthat expression was used). He had also a grant of the third penny of allthe pleas before the sheriff throughout the whole country whereof he wasearl, to hold to him and his heirs as amply as any of his ancestors hadenjoyed the same. Moreover, in consideration of 4,000 marks, he obtainedanother charter from the king of the manor of Higham-Ferrers, co.Northampton, with the hundred and park; as also of the manors ofBliseworth and Newbottle, in the same shire; which were part of the landsof his great grandfather, William Peverel of Nottingham. King John alsoconferred upon him a mansion-house situated in the parish of St. Margaretwithin the city of London, which had belonged to Isaac, a Jew, atNorwich, to hold by the service of waiting upon the king (the earl andhis heirs), at all festivals yearly without any cap, but with a garlandof the breadth of his little finger upon his head. These liberal marks ofroyal favour were felt so gratefully by the earl that in all thesubsequent struggles between the king and the refractory barons, hislordship never once swerved from his allegiance, but remained true to themonarch; and loyalty to the interests of his son, King henry III. Hislordship assisted at the coronation of the new monarch and immediatelyafter the ensuing Easter, he took part with the famous William Marshall(governor of the king and kingdom), the Earls of Chester and Albemarle,and many other great men in the siege of Mountsorell Castle inLeicestershire, then held by Henry de Braybroke and ten other stoutknights. And the same year was likewise with those noble persons atraising the siege of Lincoln, which place the rebellious barons withLewis, King of France, had invested. His lordship m. Agnes, sister andone of the co-heirs of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, by whom he had two sons,William and Thomas. He died of the gout in 1246 and his countess d. inthe same year after a union, according to some authorities, ofseventy-five, and by others, of fifty-five years. His lordship was s. byhis elder son, William de Ferrers, 5th Earl of Derby. [Sir Bernard Burke,Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd.,London, 1883, p. 196, Ferrers, Earls of Derby] ---------- There is substantial confusion over his name. See The Complete PeerageVol. 4, p 193 for an account. Personally, I feel there could have beentwo brothers, William and Robert, Robert being the Earl and when he diedat Acre his nephew William son of his brother William succeeded, but nodocuments support this theory either! In The Complete Peerage vol. XIV ,p.250 it is suggested that Robert is a fabrication by Vincent, Earl ofFerrieres. [Brian Tompsett, Directory of Royal Genealogical Data]2

Name-Var William MARSHALL
Note* The office of Marshal to the king was a hereditary perquisite of amiddling Wiltshire family. The duties were various, but mainly theyconsisted of acting as second-in-command to the constable of the royalhousehold, maintaining order in the palace and guarding it, looking afterthe stables, keeping the rolls of those who performed their militaryservice, and checking the accounts of various household and statedepartments. From this family came William Marshal, whose biography was written by hissquire John of Earley so providing us with one of the deepest and mostfascinating insights into the life of a great baron of the late twelfthand early thirteenth centuries. His father, John Marshal, whom the Gesta Stephani rather unkindlydescribes as 'a limb of hell and the root of all evil' was a man wholoved warfare, and played the game of politics with great success. Atfirst he supported Stephen but, when he began to realise the failings ofthe King and the potentialities of Matilda's party, he changed sides.Almost immediately he proved by a consummate act of bravery andhardihood, that he was worth having: escorting Matilda to safety in hiscastle at Ledgershall, John found that the party was going dangerouslyslowly because Matilda was riding side-saddle, so he persuaded her toride astride, and stopped behind to delay the pursuers at Wherwell. Hisforce was soon overpowered by the numbers of the enemy, and John tookrefuge with one of his knights in the Abbey. The opposing party promptlyset fire to the church, and John and his knight had to take cover in thetower, John threatening to kill his knight if he made any move tosurrender. As the lead of the roof began to melt and drop on the twosoldiers, putting out one of John's eyes, the enemy moved off, convincedthat they were dead. They escaped, in a terrible state, but triumphant,to John's castle. He plainly expected his children to be as tough as himself, as anincident of the year 1152, when William was about six, will show. KingStephen went to besiege Newbury Castle, which Matilda had given John todefend; the castellan, realising that provisions and the garrison wereboth too low to stand a long siege, asked for a truce to inform hismaster. This was normal practice, for if the castellan were not at oncerelieved, he could then surrender without being held to have let hismaster down. Now John had not sufficient troops to relieve the castle,so he asked Stephen to extend the truce whilst he, in turn, informed hismistress, and agreed to give William as a hostage, promising not toprovision and garrison the castle during the truce. This he promptlydid, and when he received word from Stephen that the child would be hungif he did not at once surrender the castle, he cheerfully replied that hehad hammer and anvils to forge a better child than William. The child was taken out for execution, but at the last moment Stephenrelented with that soft heart that was his undoing, and though hisofficers presented such enticing plans as catapulting William over thecastle walls with a siege engine, he would not give in. Later on he grewattached to the child, and one day when William was playing an elementaryform of conkers with the King, using plantains, the child saw a servantof his mother, the lady Sibile (sister of the Earl of Salisbury), peepingin to check up on his safety. William cried out a greeting and theservant had to run for his life. The child did not know what dangers hewas running, but it was good and early training for his future career. When he was thirteen William was sent to serve in the retinue of hisfather's cousin, the chamberlain of Normandy. This was hisapprenticeship in knighthood, and was to last eight years. As a squirehe would learn by experience all the skills of a knight, and theelaborate code of honour that went with it. After he had been knightedin 1167, he began to go round the tournaments to make his name, and earna living by the spoils. He was eager for the fray, so eager in fact thatin his earliest tournaments he concentrated too much on the fighting, andforgot to take the plunder. He had to be warned by elder and wiserknights of the dangerous folly of such quixotic behaviour---a goodwar-horse captured from an unseated opponent could fetch £40. Even so,his heart was really set upon fame, and he recalled in old age the pridehe had experienced as a youngster when, having retired to the refuge (ahut regarded as neutral territory in a tournament) to fix his helmet, heoverheard two knights outside commenting on how well he was fighting. He was, however, only the second son of a middling baron, and he couldnot live off honour; so it must have been wonderful news for him when in1170 he heard of his appointment as captain of the guard and militarytutor to King Henry II's heir, the fifteen-year-old Henry, alreadycrowned in his father's lifetime in, as it turned out, a fruitlessattempt to ensure the succession. In 1173 it fell to his lot to make theyoung King a knight. Henry seems to have had a good sense of humour, for in 1176 when the twowere cantering back into town after a tournament, William managed to baganother knight, and led him reined behind, with the King following. Alow-hanging water sprout swept the knight off his horse, but Henry keptwhat he had seen to himself, and the laugh was definitely on William whenthey got home to find he was leading a horse, but no knight to ransom. Tournaments were so frequent at that time that a real enthusiast couldattend one a fortnight, and William and the King must have attained arecord number of attendances. This was the equivalent of hunting to anineteenth century country gentleman, though much more rugged. In tenmonths William and a colleague captured one hundred and three knights,and risked death on each occasion: one memory William kept of those dayswas having to receive the prize of hero of the day kneeling with his headon an anvil whilst a smith tried to prize off his battered helm. Anothermemory he retained was arriving too early for a fight, and dancing withthe ladies who had come to watch---in full armour! Then came trouble---William's enemies began to spread rumours that he wasthe lover of Henry's wife, and seeing that the suspicion could not failto mar their relationship, William cut out on his own. He wasimmediately inundated with tempting offers from great lords who wanted toengage his services---three times he was offered £500 a year or more, buthe turned them down and went instead on pilgrimage to Cologne. He was soon recalled to service with the young King in 1183, but it wasonly to see him die of a fever. At the last William promised that hewould carry out Henry's vow to go on crusade, and having buried hismaster, he carried out his promise. He came home in 1187 to take his place as an esteemed servant of theKing, and to marry the second richest heiress in England who brought himthe Earldom of Pembroke and extensive lands in England, Wales andIreland. He served Henry II in his final bitter years and once, when hewas covering the king's retreat, he put the fear of God into PrinceRichard who was leading the pursuit. The Lionheart cried out, 'By thelegs of God, Marshal, do not kill me,' and William killed his horseinstead. Such conduct was dangerous, but when Richard came to the throne he showedthe Marshal that he respected him for it, and when he went on crusade hemade William one of the four associate justiciars appointed to helpWilliam de Longchamp, who had the care of the kingdom. This wasexcellent training in administration and justice, which was to standWilliam in good stead later when he had to bear responsibilities fargreater than those with which a simple soldier can deal. It also gave him lessons in how to deal with the immensely difficultPrince John, who, fearing, with some justice, that Richard intended toleave the kingdom to his nephew Arthur of Brittany, had to consolidatehis position whilst his brother was away. When he heard that Richard hadbeen captured on his way home and was being held to an incredibly stiffransom, John's ambitions became boundless, and the Marshal had, added tohis normal duties, the double problem of keeping the prince in check andraising a vast sum of money. Richard returned to find William a wise counsellor now as well as anincomparable soldier, and he used him well; but in 1199 he died, andWilliam worked with skill and energy for the smooth accession of John.This King was to bring him worse problems than he had ever known. For the next seven years William had to watch John losing Normandy to theMarshal's old friend Philip Augustus, knowing there was nothing to bedone about it. Instead of knightly virtues, treachery was now the orderof the day, and when he taxed the French King with using traitors, he hadonly this for reply: '. . . it is now a matter of business. They arelike torches that one throws into the latrine when one is done with them.' Attempting to rescue something out of the chaos of the loss of Normandy,William undertook the negotiations with France to make peace, and find aformula by which the English barons might retain their lands in France.What he found instead was the implacable suspicion of John who, fearingthat William was going over to the French side, confiscated all hiscastles and official positions, and took his two eldest sons as hostages. So William spent the next five years in Ireland, looking after his vastestates and interests there far away from John, but unfortunately, in anarea in which John took an especial interest. Every move William madewas countered by the royal officials, and active hostilities sooncommenced. However, William had the better and more faithful knightsand, despite the royal offensives, he tended to win, so in 1208 a trucewas made. Soon afterwards William received on his lands William de Briouse, whomJohn regarded as a bitter enemy, and so the quarrel flared up again.Finally the sixty-six-year-old knight had to come to court and offer tofight an ordeal by battle to prove his faith. No one dared to take upthe challenge, though a winning contestant would have rocketed intofavour with the King. But by the year 1212 John was in serious trouble, and was to learn wherehis true friends lay. William swung the baronage of Ireland into supportfor the crown, helped to organize the vital rapprochement with the Pope,and prepared to gather the King's friends together and put his castles inorder in readiness for the inevitable struggle. A great moderating forcewas Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was to beassociated with William throughout the struggle, persuading John toaccede to those demands of the barons which he had helped to formulate. In 1216 William was back in the saddle as commander-in-chief of the royalforces opposing the barons and their ally the Dauphin and his Frenchtroops. All was well between the Marshal and the King who had so badlymisjudged him, and now John tried to make amends. But the years ofsuspicion and discord still told: when he gave William the castle ofDunamase, he was upset that his justiciar failed to hand it over---he hadforgotten an arrangement he had made secretly with the justiciar thatWilliam was to have nothing, whatever documents he produced, without asecret handshake (holding each other's thumbs) being given. Now as John lay dying in Newark Castle, with half his kingdom in enemyhands, and a nine-year old child as his successor, he realised the worthof the man he had hounded so long, and urged all present to commit thekingdom into the care of the Marshal after his death. William was an old man, the treasury was empty, discord reigned, and theposition seemed hopeless---he wept and begged to be excused; but John ofEarley, his squire, pointed out what honour there was to be won, andchanged his mind for him in a flash. 'It goes straight to my heart thatif all should abandon the King except me do you know what I would do? Iwould carry him on my shoulders, now here, now there, from isle to isle,from land to land, and I would never fail him, even if I were forced tobeg my bread.' Filled with a sense of the glory of his task, the regent now raided therich stores of jewels and clothing accumulated by the royal house'against a rainy day' to pay the soldiers he so desperately needed. Hesent out showers of letters of protection to the enemy barons, temptingthem to change sides. Gradually he built up his powers for the decisiveblow, at Lincoln in May 1217. There William led the charge, with the wily Bishop of Winchester whofound a way in, and fought up and down the streets of Lincoln with many ashout of 'Ca! Dieu aide au Maréchal!' Finally they reached the openspace in front of the cathedral where William personally captured theFrench commander and received three massive blows which left dents in hishelmet. The worthy Dame Nicola, who had kept the castle for so long forthe King against enormous odds, was at last relieved, and the war wasalmost won. The Marshal sped down to Dover to intercept the convoy of reinforcementscoming from France, and then set about making peace. He wasgenerous---perhaps over-generous---to French and English alike, there wasno victimisation, and little recrimination. The speediest route back topeace was chosen, for England had suffered enormous damage from the civilwar. This was perhaps the worst time for William---the period ofreconstruction. He knew well how to fight, but the sheer boredom andworry of administration of this kind must have borne heavily on the oldman. Disputes and claims had to be settled so that both sides weresatisfied, and no one would have a pretext for re-starting rebellion.Above all money was needed to oil the wheels and restore the losses ofwar, and the best way to make rebels is to overtax them. He even had toban tournaments, which would obviously lead to dangerous positions beingtaken up once more. He must have wondered what he had come to---thegreatest fighter in Europe, and the one who loved a fight better thananything. Instead he spent his time setting up judicial commissions andtrying desperately to balance the budget. He continued hard at work until the end of February, 1219, when he wastaken ill and confined to his bed in the Tower. Doctors came and wentbut could do nothing, and quickly all his family and his knights andretainers gathered round him for the end. He asked to be taken up riverto his manor of Caversham near Reading to die, and there, he and hishousehold went, in mid-March, followed by the young King Henry III, thepapal legate, and the the highest officers of state. He urged the king 'to be a gentleman,' and told him that if he shouldfollow the example of some evil ancestor, he hoped he would die young.He worried long and hard over who should be his successor, and foundno-one who could unite all under his rule, so wisely chose the papallegate. He made his will, and worried for a moment at the lack ofprovision for his young son Anselm, but, remembering his own career, feltthat he could make his own way. 'May God give him prowess and skill.'He remembered an unmarried daughter and made provision for her 'until Godtakes care of her.' He had always been a religious man, founder ofmonasteries, crusader, and honest knight. He called for silken cloths hehad thoughtfully brought back from the Holy Land thirty years before, andgave instruction that he should be covered with them at his funeral. He wanted to be buried as a Knight Templar, and when the master of theorder came to clothe him, he said to his wife 'Belle amie, you are goingto kiss me, but it will be for the last time.' Happy now that all thearrangements had been made, William could rest a little, and waitcomfortably for death. He talked gently with his knights---one of themwas worried that the clerks said no one could be saved who did not giveback everything he had taken. William set his mind at rest---he hadtaken 500 knights in his lifetime, and could never restore the booty, soif he were damned there was nothing he could do about it. 'The clerksare too hard on us. They shave us too closely.' When his clerksuggested that all the rich robes could be sold to win his salvation, hesaid 'You have not the heart of a gentleman, and I have had too much ofyour advice. Pentecost is at hand, and my knights ought to have theirnew robes. This will be the last time I can supply them. . .' He was areligious man---true---but he could not abide nonsense and knew his ownduty. In his last days he was very gentle to his family. One day he said toJohn of Earley that he had an overwhelming desire to sing, and when Johnurged him to do so, as it might improve his appetite, he told him itwould do no such thing, people would just assume he was delirious. Sothey called in his daughters to sing for him, and when one sang weakly,overcome with emotion, he showed her how she should project her voice andsing with grace. On 14 May, William suddenly called to John of Earley to open all thedoors and windows and call everyone in, for death was upon him. Therewas such a press that the abbots of Nutley and Reading, come to absolvethe Marshal and give him plenary indulgence, were barely noticed, exceptby the dying man, who called them to him, made confession, prayed, andthen died with his eyes fixed upon the cross. The cortège moved slowly up to London for the great state funeral, andthere William's old friend Stephen Langton spoke his eulogy over thegrave: 'Behold all that remains of the best knight that ever lived. Youwill all come to this. Each man dies on his day. We have here ourmirror, you and I. Let each man say his paternoster that God may receivethis Christian into His Glory and place him among His faithful vassals,as he so well deserves.' [Who's Who in the Middle Ages, John Fines,Barnes & Noble Books, New York, 1995] ---------- William Marshal, of the great baronial family of Marischal, marshal tothe king, is first noticed as receiving from Prince Henry, the rebelliousson of Henry II, upon the prince's deathbed, as his most confidentialfriend, his cross to convey to Jerusalem. He m. the great heiress of theClares in 1189, and with her acquired the Earldom of Pembroke -- in whichrank he bore the royal sceptre of gold, surmounted by the cross, at thecoronation of King Richard I, and he was soon afterwards, on the king'spurposing a journey to the Holy Land, appointed one of the assistants toHugh, bishop of Durham, and William, Earl of Albemarle, Chief Justice ofEngland, in the government of the realm. Upon the decease of his brother, John Mareschall, marshal of the king'shouse, in 1199, he became lord marshal, and on the day of the coronationof King John, he was invested with the sword of the Earldom of Pembroke,being then confirmed in the possession of the said inheritance. In thefirst year of this monarch's reign, his lordship was appointed sheriff ofGloucestershire and likewise of Sussex, wherein he was continued forseveral years. In the 5th he had a grant of Goderich Castle in co.Hereford, to hold by the service of two knights' fees; and in four yearsafterwards he obtained, by grant from the crown, the whole province ofLeinster, in Ireland, to hold by the service of one hundred knights'fees. Upon the breaking out of the baronial insurrection, the Earl of Pembrokewas deputed by the king, with the archbishop of Canterbury, to ascertainthe grievances and demands of those turbulent lords, and at the demise ofKing John, he was so powerful as to prevail upon the barons to appoint aday for the coronation of Henry III, to whom he was constituted guardian,by the rest of the nobility, who had remained firm in their allegiance.He subsequently took up arms in the royal cause and, after achieving avictory over the barons at Lincoln, proceeded directly to London, andinvesting that great city, both by land and water, reduced it toextremity for want of provisions. Peace, however, being soon concluded,it was relieved. His lordship, at this point, executed the office ofsheriff for the cos. of Essex and Hertford. This eminent nobleman was no less distinguished by his wisdom in thecouncil and valour in the field, than by his piety and his attachment tothe church, of which his numerous munificent endowments bear ampletestimony. His lordship had, by the heiress of Clare, five sons, who s.each other in his lands and honours, and five daus., viz., Maud, Joan,Isabel, Sybil, and Eve. The earl d. in 1219, and was s. by his eldestson, William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke.

Note* Richard de Clare, the celebrated Stongbow, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, was oneof the witnesses to the solemn agreement made in 1153 between KingStephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy, whereby the latter was to succeed tothe English throne upon the decease of the former. But the leading parthe subsequently had in the subjugation of Ireland procuring him aconspicuous place in history, we shall relate the particulars of thatevent in the words of the Monk of Jorevaulx -- 'The realm of Ireland,'saith he, 'being miserably opprest with warr by the many kings there whobanded against each other, one of them sent his son into England toprocure souldiers thence for his aid. Which souldiers for the hope ofgain, giving him assistance, were so well recompenced as that they ratherchose to stay there than return into England. But after a short time thestoutest people of Ireland, being much offended with that king forgetting aid from England, the English already fixed in Ireland sent formore from hence to strengthen their party, and because they had no chiefthey made of this Earl Richard (a stout and valiant man), to be theircaptain, who, yielding to their request, rigging a good fleet, preparedfor the journey. Whereupon there were some who, in the king's behalf,endeavoured to restrain him. Howbeit, getting on shipboard and landingsafe, he assaulted Dublin and took it; the tidings whereof so terrifiedthose that lived afar off that they were content to be at peace with him;and, to confirm what he had got, gave him in marriage Eva, daughter ofDermot McMurrough, one of their kings, with whom he had in dower a greatpart of the realm. Whereat the King of England growing much displeased,as well for that he had not only, without his consent, but forbidden,made so great an attempt, seized upon all his patrimony here, prohibitingthat he should have further aid; and threatening him otherwise very sore,compelled him so to such a compliance as that he got Dublin from him andall the principal places he had won, requiring him to be content with therest, and his patrimony in England; soon after raising a great army, theking sayled thither, himself.' In the end the earl was constitutedJustice of Ireland by King Henry II and, having founded the priory ofKilmainham in the province of Leinster for Knights Hospitallers, 'thiseminent person,' Dugdale concludes, 'died untimely upon the nones ofApril, anno 1176, and was buried in the chapter house at Gloucester asmay be seen by this inscription on the wall there, 'Hic jacet RicardusStrongbow, filius Gilberti, Comitis de Pembroke,' leaving issue, as somesay, one son, scarce three years old to be his heir, but by others it isreported that, being by treachery abused and wounded, he departed thislife the 5th year after his acquisition of the province of Leinster, andthat he was buried at Dublin, leaving issue one only dau. and heiress,Isabel. NOTE: Hacket, in his collection of epitaphs, gives the following from thetomb of Strongbow, at Christ's Church, Dublin:-- 'Nate ingrate, mihi pugnanti terga dedisti, Non mihi, sed genti, regno quoque terga dedisti.' 'This alludes,' says Banks, 'to a story that Strongbow's only son, ayouth about seventeen, frightened with the numbers and ululations of theIrish in a great battle, ran away, but being afterwards informed of hisfather's victory, he joyfully returned to congratulate him. But thesevere general having first upbraided him with his cowardice, caused himto be immediately executed by cutting him off in the middle with asword. Such, in former times, was the detestation of datardliness!'[Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages,Burke's Peerage, London, 1883, pp. 120-121, Clare, Earls of Pembroke] Richard de Clare (surnamed Strongbow), Earl of Pembroke, Lord ofLeinster, and Constable of Ireland, 1172. By marriage with Eva, the onlydau. of McMurgh, King of Leinster, whose inheritance King henry IIgranted to him consisting of the province of Leinster, in which werecontained Wexford, Kildare, Kilkenny, Osory, and Catherlogh. He d. inMay, 1177, and left an only dau. and heir, Isabel, married to WilliamMareschal.
