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. His lordship m.Margaret, younger sister and co-heir of Robert Fitz-Parnell, Earl ofLeicester, by which alliance he acquired a very considerable inheritance,and had issue, Robert, Roger, and Robert. At the decease of the earl,his 2nd son, Roger de Quincy, had livery of his father's estates.

| Father-Bio* | b 1100 | Ranulph de Meschines II, 2nd Earl of Chester2 |
| Mother-Bio* | c 1120 | Maud 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.

| 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. Margaret, dau. andheir of Robert de Quincy, Earl of Winchester, by Hawyse, 4th sister andco-heir of Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, whichRanulph, by a formal charter under his seal, granted the Earldom ofLincoln, that is, so much as he could grant thereof, to the said Hawyse,'to the end that she might be countess and that her heirs might alsoenjoy the earldom;' which grant was confirmed by the king and, at theespecial request of the countess, this John de Lacy, constable ofChester, was created by charter, dated at Northampton, 23 November, 1232,Earl of Lincoln, with remainder to the heirs of his body, by his wife,the above-named Margaret. In the contest which occurred during the sameyear between the king and Richard Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, EarlMarshal, Matthew Paris states that the Earl of Lincoln was brought overto the king's party with John le Scot, Earl of Chester, by Peter deRupibus, bishop of Winchester, for a bribe of 1,000 marks. In 1237, hislordship was one of those appointed to prohibit Oto, the pope's legate,from establishing anything derogatory to the king's crown and dignity inthe council of prelates then assembled; and the same year he had a grantof the sheriffalty of Cheshire, being likewise constituted governor ofthe castle of Chester. The earl d. in 1240, leaving Margaret, his wife,surviving, who re-m. William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. His lordship leftissue, Edmund, his successor, and two daus., which ladies in the 27thHenry III, were removed to Windsor, there to be educated with the king'sown daus.; of these, Maud 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 | |

| 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 | |

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 | |
