He died on 15 Feb 1400 in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He married Alice FITZWALTER.

Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford (c. 1338 – 15 February 1400) was the third son of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford and Maud de Badlesmere, daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Lord Badlesmere.

Aubrey de Vere had three brothers, John, Thomas, and Robert, and three sisters. Margaret, Maud and Elizabeth. His eldest brother, John, married the daughter of Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon, but died in 1350 in his father's lifetime. Another brother, Robert, also died in his father's lifetime. Aubrey de Vere's third brother, Thomas, succeeded his father as 8th Earl of Oxford, and was in turn succeeded by his only son, Robert de Vere, 9th Earl of Oxford, who died in 1392 without issue, leaving Aubrey de Vere to inherit the earldom.

In 1360 Aubrey de Vere was made steward of the royal forest of Havering in Essex. In 1367 was retained to 'abide for life' with the Black Prince, with a substantial allowance. He was knighted, made constable of Wallingford Castle in 1375 and also given the honours of Wallingford and St. Valery, though he gave up Wallingford in 1378 for Hadleigh Castle. Edward III used him as an ambassador in seeking peace with France. In 1381, de Vere became a Chamberlain of the Royal Household and member of the privy council. In 1388 his nephew, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland and 9th Earl of Oxford was deemed a traitor, causing Aubrey to lose his post of chamberlain. However, after Robert’s death in 1392, the king gave Aubrey the title of Earl of Oxford allowing him to take a seat in parliament. Aubrey’s son, Richard became the 11th Earl of Oxford on his death.

12.

John DE VERE VII Earl of Oxford VII Earl of Oxford, son of Sir Alphonse DE VERE and Joan FOLIOT, was born on 12 Mar 1312 in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. He died on 24 Jan 1360 in Reims, Champagne, France. He was buried in Jan 1360 in Colne Priory, Earls Colne, Braintree District, Essex, England. He married Maud DE BADLESMERE Countess of Oxford.

John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford (c. 12 March 1312 – 24 January 1360) was the nephew and heir of Robert de Vere, 6th Earl of Oxford who succeeded as Earl of Oxford in 1331, after his uncle died without issue.

John de Vere was a trusted captain of Edward III in the king's wars in Scotland and France, and took part in both the Battle of Crécy and the Battle of Poitiers. He died campaigning in France in 1360. Throughout his career he was closely associated with William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton, who was his brother-in-law.

Family background and marriage

John de Vere was the only son of Alphonse de Vere, and Jane, daughter of Sir Richard Foliot. Alphonse was a younger son of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford and apparently died shortly before 20 December 1328, when a writ was issued for inquisitions post mortem into the land that he held direct from the King. These hearings established that Alphonse's next heir was his son John, then aged 15 years and more. The manors concerned were Aston Sandford, Buckinghamshire, Westwick by St Albans and Great Hormead, Hertfordshire, as well as property at Beaumont and Althorne in Essex.

Alphonse was a brother of Robert de Vere, 6th Earl of Oxford. When the 6th Earl's son died without issue in 1329, he obtained licence from the king to entail his estates on his nephew, John. It was in this way that John de Vere, when his uncle died 17 April 1331, became Earl of Oxford. He had made homage and received livery by 17 May.

In 1336 John married Maud de Badlesmere, who was the second of the four daughters of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, of Badlesmere in Kent and Margaret de Clare. Maud was a co-heiress of her brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere. When Giles died in 1338, this brought a significant part of the Badlesmere inheritance into de Vere's hands. The marriage also forged a strong bond with William Bohun, Earl of Northampton, who had married Badlesmere's third daughter, Elizabeth de Badlesmere, and thus became Oxford's brother-in-law. The two campaigned together, sat on the same commissions and died the same year.

Career

De Vere's military career began with service on Edward III's Scottish campaigns, in the 1330s Second War of Scottish Independence. He took part in the Roxburgh campaign of 1334–5, and in the summer campaign of 1335. Later in the decade, England's military efforts turned towards France, with the beginning of the Hundred Years' War. In March 1340, de Vere served in Flanders, and was therefore out of the country during Edward's disputes with Archbishop John de Stratford. Oxford was not forced to take sides in the conflict, and has been described as a "political neutral".

After a period in England, de Vere returned to the Continent in 1342, where he served with Northampton, who had been made lieutenant of Brittany. They both took part in the Battle of Morlaix that year. The next year the two earls were sent to Scotland to relieve Lochmaben Castle, and in 1345 they were again campaigning in Brittany. Tradition has it that, returning to England, their ships were forced ashore by bad weather, and the party was robbed of their possessions by the locals. In the summer of 1346 de Vere was campaigning with the king in Normandy, and took part in the Battle of Crécy. According to the chronicler Froissart, de Vere was fighting with the Black Prince, and was among the captains who sent a request to Edward III for reinforcements when the king famously answered 'Let the boy win his spurs'. Oxford was also at the siege of Calais, but reportedly fell ill in 1348, and did not take part in any major campaigning until 1355.

In 1355 he was again in the company of the Black Prince, and took part in the prince's great raid in Languedoc. 19 September 1356, at the Battle of Poitiers, Oxford was in command of the vanguard together with the earl of Warwick. de Vere's attack on the flank of the French cavalry, with a group of archers, did much to secure the English victory. His last campaign was Edward III's Rheims campaign in 1359–60. Here he died, probably during the raid into Burgundy, on 23 or 24 January 1360. He was buried in the de Vere family's burial place Colne Priory in Essex.

Descendants and assessment

Maud de Vere died in 1366.

The couple had four sons and three daughters.

The eldest son, John, married Elizabeth Courtenay, daughter of Hugh Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon, but died before his father, in 1350. (After the death of her husband, Elizabeth married Sir Andrew Luttrell of Chilton (in Thorverton), Devon.)

Another son, Robert, also died in his father's lifetime.

The eldest remaining son was then Thomas, born about 1336 or 1337, who succeeded his father in 1360.

Thomas's son Robert de Vere, 9th Earl of Oxford succeeded at his father's death, but with Robert's forfeiture in 1392, the earldom was given to Robert's uncle Aubrey – the seventh earl's fourth son.

The eldest daughter, Margaret, married three times, while of the second, Matilda, little is known.

The third daughter, Elizabeth, married Sir Hugh Courtenay, eldest son and heir of Hugh de Courtenay, 10th Earl of Devon.

John de Vere, in the family tradition of the "fighting de Veres", was active in almost all major military engagements in the years from 1340 to 1360. On the Roxburgh campaign he brought a retinue of twenty-eight men-at-arms and twelve mounted archers. In Brittany in 1342, the retinue had grown to forty men-at-arms, one banneret, nine knights, twenty-nine esquires, and thirty mounted archers. His retinue was of a diverse composition, and also included foreign mercenaries. At one point, in the Battle of Poitiers, John Hawkwood, who was later to make his fortune as a condottiero in Italy, also served with de Vere. Yet in spite of this, de Vere never distinguished himself particularly as a military commander. Neither did he receive a great amount of royal patronage, and was never made a member of the Order of the Garter. This was largely a consequence of the de Vere family's relatively modest resources among the English peerage. As an example can be mentioned that in the late 1340, £349 were owed to Oxford in arrears for his services, yet at the same time the king owed Northampton two debts of £782 and £1237. This obstacle of resources and status John de Vere was unable to overcome either by marriage or warfare.

Lady Maud DE BADLESMERE Countess of Oxford Countess of Oxford was born c. 1308 in Badlesmere, Kent, England. She died on 24 May 1366 in Earls Colne, Essex, England. She was buried in Earls Colne.

Maud de Badlesmere, Countess of Oxford (1310 – May 1366) was an English noblewoman, and the wife of John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford. She, along with her three sisters, was a co-heiress of her only brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere, who had no male issue.

At the age of 11 she was imprisoned in the Tower of London along with her mother, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and her four siblings, after the former refused Queen consort Isabella admittance to Leeds Castle and ordered an assault upon her when she attempted entry.

Maud was born at Castle Badlesmere, Kent, England in 1310, the second eldest daughter of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare. She had three sisters, Margery, Elizabeth, and Margaret; all of whom eventually married and had issue. She had one brother, Giles.

Her paternal grandparents were Guncelin de Badlesmere and Joan FitzBernard, and her maternal grandparents were Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond and Juliana FitzGerald of Offaly.

On 14 April 1322, when she was twelve years of age, Maud's father was hanged, drawn and quartered by orders of King Edward II, following his participation in the Earl of Lancaster's rebellion and his subsequent capture after the Battle of Boroughbridge. Maud, her siblings, and her mother had been arrested the previous October after the latter had ordered an assault upon Queen consort Isabella after refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle where Baron Badlesmere held the post of governor.[2] Maud's mother, Baroness Badlesmere, remained imprisoned in the Tower of London until 3 November 1322, although it is not known when Maud and her siblings were released. Her brother Giles obtained a reversal of their father's attainder in 1328, and he succeeded to the barony as 2nd Baron Badlesmere. Maud, along with her three sisters, was Giles's co-heiress, as he had married but fathered no children by his wife, Elizabeth Montagu.

Marriages and issue

In June 1316, Maud, aged six, married her first husband, Robert FitzPayn, son of Robert FitzPayn. Welsh historian R. R. Davies relates in his book, Lords and lordship in the British Isles in the late Middle Ages how her father, Lord Badlesmere, when drawing up the marriage contract, sought to provide for Maud's future by ensuring that she would have independent means. He granted her land worth 200 marks per year, and her future father-in-law was constrained to endow her with three manors and their revenues. The marriage did not produce children;

and on an unknown date sometime before March 1335 Maud married secondly, John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford. Upon her marriage, Maud assumed the title Countess of Oxford. John was a captain in King Edward III's army, and as such participated in the Battle of Crécy and the Battle of Poitiers.

The marriage produced seven children:

1. John de Vere (December 1335- before 23 June 1350), married Elizabeth de Courtney as her first husband.

2. Thomas de Vere, 8th Earl of Oxford (1336- 18 September 1371), married Maud de Ufford, by whom he had a son Robert de Vere, 9th Earl of Oxford

3. Aubrey de Vere, 10th Earl of Oxford (1338- 15 February 1400), married Alice FitzWalter, by whom he had three children, including Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford

4. Robert de Vere (died 1360)

5. Elizabeth de Vere (died 23 September 1375), married firstly in 1341, Sir Hugh de Courtney, by whom she had one son, Hugh de Courtney, Lord Courtney; she married secondly John de Mowbray, 3rd Lord Mowbray; she married thirdly on 18 January 1369 Sir William Costyn

6. Margaret de Vere (died 15 June 1398), married firstly Henry de Beaumont, 3rd Baron Beaumont (4 April 1340 – 17 June 1369), the son of John de Beaumont, 2nd Baron Beaumont and Eleanor of Lancaster, by whom she had issue; she married secondly Sir Nicholas de Loveyne; she married thirdly after 1375 Sir John Devereux, by whom she had issue.

7. Maud de Vere

In June 1338, Maud's brother Giles died without leaving any legitimate issue. A considerable portion of the Badlesmere estates was inherited by Maud and her husband.

Maud died at the de Vere family mansion Hall Place in Earls Colne, Essex in May 1366 at the age of fifty-six years. Evidence given at the various inquisitions post mortem held after her death differ as to whether she died on the 19th, 23rd or 24th day of the month. This source gives details of her numerous properties which were to be found in Essex and six other counties.

Maud was buried in Colne Priory. Her husband had died in 1360.

Complete Peerage Addition: Joan Foliot, wife of Sir Alphonse de Vere

Douglas Richardson

Dear Newsgroup ~

Complete Peerage 10 (1945): 222 (sub Oxford), footnote a, gives a good account of the life of Sir Alphonse de Vere, of Great Hormead, Hertfordshire (died 1328). The editor indicates that Leland, Itinerary, ed. by Smith, states that his wife was Joan, daughter of Sir Richard Foliot, "but no proof has been found of this."

Actually there is additional evidence of Sir Alphonse's wife's identity. The 1563/4 Visitation of Yorkshire gives the following information:

"Sir Alphonso de Vere Erl of Oxford maryed = Jone doughter of ....Follyot." [Reference: H.S.P. 16 (1881): 227 (1563/4 Vis. Yorkshire) (Nevil pedigree)].

This confirms that Sir Alphonse's wife was named Joan Foliot, but leaves her parentage unidentified.

John Ravilious' account of the Foliot family provided below indicates that the manor of Cowesby, Yorkshire was held in 1282 by Sir Jordan Foliot, 1st Lord Foliot (died 1299). Complete Peerage 5 (1926): 538-540 (sub Foliot) indicates that Sir Jordan Foliot earlier inherited Cowesby, Yorkshire from his maternal uncle, Sir Robert de Stuteville.

My own research indicates that by 1316, Cowesby, Yorkshire had passed to Sir Alphonse de Vere [Reference: Feudal Aids, 6 (1920): 175]. Likewise, I find that in 1324, Sir Alphonse de Vere presented to the church of Cowesby, Yorkshire as its patron [Reference: R.M.T. Hill, Register of William Melton Archbishop of York, 1 (Canterbury & York Soc. 70) (1977): 129]. I presume Sir Alphonse de Vere had Cowesby, Yorkshire in marriage with his wife, Joan, who chronologically would fit to be a daughter of Sir Jordan Foliot. Sir Alphonse and Joan were evidently married before 1312 (date of birth of their son, John de Vere, later 7th Earl of Oxford).

In an earlier post dated August 4, 2002, I discussed the evidence that Sir Alphonse de Vere and his wife, Joan Foliot, were the parents of Margery de Vere, wife of Sir Maurice de Berkeley, of Uley, Gloucestershire. Margery and Maurice were married by papal dispensation dated 1331, they being related in the 4th degree of kindred, evidently by common descent from the Zouche family. The given name, Margery, was presumably bestowed on Sir Alphonse de Vere's daughter in honor of his wife's mother, Margery (de Newmarch) Foliot.

Sir Alphonse de Vere's wife, Joan Foliot, possesses many royal lines, the best one being through Joan's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth (or Isabel) de Mowbray, whose own grandmother, Bertha de Ferrers, is a descendant of King Henry I of England. For Bertha de Ferrers' parentage, see my post in the newsgroup archives dated 25 June 2000.

I wish to thank John Ravilious for his helpful input on this post.

Sir Hugh DE VERE 4th Earl of Oxford 4th Earl of Oxford, son of Robert DE VERE 3rd Earl of Oxford 3rd Earl of Oxford and Isabel DE BOLEBEC, was born in 1207 in Essex, England. He died bef 23 Dec 1263 in Colne Engaine, Essex, England. He was buried in Earls Colne, Essex, England. He married Hawise DE QUINCY.

Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford (c. 1207 – December 1263) was the only son and heir of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Isabel de Bolebec, daughter and eventual sole heiress of Hugh de Bolebec.

Hugh de Vere was born about 1207. Hugh's mother, Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford, purchased her minor son's wardship in 1221 from the crown for 6000 marks. Hugh did homage to King Henry III in October 1231, and was knighted by the King at Gloucester on 22 May 1233. Two days later the King 'girt him with the sword of the Earldom of Oxford and directed the sheriff to let him have what he ought to have in the name of the Earldom of Oxford as his predecessors had had'.

He inherited the office of Master Chamberlain of England which had been granted to his great-grandfather Aubrey de Vere II. By right of that office, he participated in the coronation of Queen Eleanor in 1236. Earl Hugh was a critic of King Henry from 1246, and in 1258 and 1259 was elected to serve on various baronial committees attempting to reform royal government. The earl purchased the right to hold a market at the town on his primary estate, Castle Hedingham in Essex, and founded a chantry there.

Hugh de Vere married Hawise de Quincy, daughter of Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, and his wife, Margaret de Beaumont. They had a son and three daughters:

1. Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford.

"Ralph DeVere rebelled against Henry II and was taken prisoner alongside Richard the Lionheart in 1174. He subsequently formed an allegiance with King William I of Scotland and was awarded vast tracts of land in Lanarkshire. This land became known as Blackwood Estate, the largest estate in Lanarkshire."

This is an excerpt from the History of the Blackwood Estate.

Isabel DE BOLEBEC was born in 1164 in Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, England. She died on 3 Feb 1245 in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England. She was buried aft 3 Feb 1245 in Church Of Preaching Friars, Oxfordshire, England.

Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford (c. 1164 – 2 or 3 February 1245), was the eldest daughter and co-heiress of Hugh de Bolebec II, Lord of Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, and his wife, Margaret de Montfichet. She married Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford, and was a benefactress of the Order of Friars Preacher (Dominicans) in England.

Isabel de Bolebec was the daughter and co-heiress of Hugh de Bolebec II (died c. 1165), Lord of Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, and his wife, Margaret de Montfichet. She had a brother, Walter, and a sister, Constance, the wife of Ellis de Beauchamp. In 1206-07 she and Constance were co-heirs to their niece, Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of their brother, Walter, and wife of Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford.

Isabel's first husband was Henry de Nonant (Novaunt), Lord of Totnes, Devon, who died childless in 1206. The widowed Isabel petitioned the Crown in 1207 for the right to marry whom she wished. That same year she married Robert de Vere, a younger brother of the earl of Oxford, by whom she had a son, Hugh de Vere. In the autumn of 1214 Robert inherited the earldom at the death of his brother, Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford, without legitimate offspring, and Isabel became Countess of Oxford. The new earl joined barons and kinsmen whose dissatisfaction with King John prompted their rebellion. On 15 June 1215 the King agreed to Magna Carta, and Oxford was one of twenty-five barons elected to guarantee its observance, and was thus among those excommunicated by Pope Innocent III when he released the King from its terms. In 1216 King John besieged and took the Oxford's seat, Castle Hedingham, in Essex. Oxford made peace with the regents of John's son, Henry III the next year, and later served as a royal judge. He died before 25 October 1221.

Isabel inherited the barony of Bolebec, and from her death in 1245 until 1703 the Earls of Oxford adopted the style of "Baron de Bolebec" in addition to their title of earl, and from 1462-1625 that of "Viscount Bolebec".

On the death of Earl Robert, the widowed Countess purchased the wardship of her minor son from the crown for the substantial sum of 6000 marks. In 1237, she and Hugh traveled together on a pilgrimage "beyond the seas". In 1224-25 Isabel sued Woburn Abbey for the manor of Mendham.

Isabel was a benefactress of the Order of Friars Preacher (Dominicans) in England, helping them to find quarters at Oxford, and contributing to the building of their oratory there about 1227. When the friars needed a larger priory, she and the Bishop of Carlisle bought land south of Oxford and contributed most of the funds and materials. She was buried in the new church in the friary there.

---------------------------

Oxford Dictionary of National Biography:

"Isabel was the eldest daughter of Hugh de Bolebec. She appears first in the records as the widow of Henry de Nonant (d. 1206), lord of Totnes, Devon, her first husband. In 1207 she petitioned the crown for the right to marry whom she wished. The first installment of her fine was paid by Robert de Vere, earl of Oxford, her second husband, who had made his own fine to marry Isabel if she consented. At the time of her remarriage she was coheir of her niece Isabel de Bolebec, countess of Oxford and Robert de Vere's former sister-in-law (with whom she is frequently confused). By c.1225 Isabel had inherited all of the Bolebec honour of thirty knights' fees in Buckinghamshire.

"Isabel bore her only known child, Hugh de Vere, late in her reproductive years. She purchased his wardship and the guardianship of his inheritance upon her husband's death in 1221 for £2228 (6000 marks), and traveled with him on pilgrimage beyond the seas in 1237. A generally successful suitor at court, she engaged in a long-running dispute with Woburn Abbey.

"The countess was the chief benefactor of the Dominican order in Oxford. The friars sent to England in 1221 were assisted in their search for quarters in the Oxford Jewry by Isabel, who took a Dominican as her confessor and financed their oratory to the east of St Aldate's Street c.1227. When the friars decided to expand, she bought land to the south of Oxford for them. On her death on 3 February 1245 her body was temporarily entombed in their oratory, then transported to the newly consecrated Dominican priory church in St Ebbe's for burial. A monument proclaimed Isabel their foundress. Her other known charitable grants were to the hospital of St Mary Magdalene, Crowmarsh, Oxfordshire, and to Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire (a Bolebec foundation)."

Birth

c1164, from the citation to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography in her Wikipedia article note that this differs from the birth year guessed for her "1176?" in the ODNB entry for her husband, Robert de Vere.

about 1160, based on "...in or just before 1207...Isabel, who was probably a maiden aunt, well over forty,1 was at once sought in marriage as 'daughter of Hugh and sister and heir of Walter de Bolebec,' by Robert de Ver, younger brother to the Earl.

Marriages

Before 1206 to Henry de Nonent (about 1197)

Between 1206 and 1210 to Robert de Vere (fine to marry in 1208); "before Michaelmas 1207"

"Sometime before Michaelmas 1207 Robert had married Isabel de Bolebec, the aunt and namesake of Earl Aubrey’s wife, who had died childless in 1206 or 1207. Isabel the niece had been the heiress to the Bolebec estate, which was centred on Whitchurch (Bucks.), and her own heirs were her two aunts. Robert’s marriage can therefore be seen as part of a de Vere strategy to retain control over at least half of the Bolebec lands."

"Her two marriages are confirmed by the Testa de Nevill which includes a writ of King John dated 1212 recording that "Robertus de Ver" held "manerium de Cliston" in Devon "de dote cum Isabella uxore sua que fuit uxor Henrici de Nunant", adding that King Henry I had first granted the manor to "Rogero de Nunant antecessori suo".

Children with Robert de Vere

They had one son, Hugh (born about 1210), and one daughter, Eleanor.

Death

Burial

February 1245, Church of the Black Friars, Oxford, England

bur Oxford, Church of the Preaching Friars

The Dominican priory church of the Black Friars (Friars Preachers), Oxford, Oxfordshire, was founded by her husband, Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford, in the early 13th century and was dissolved by Henry VIII in the 1530s during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Research Notes

Fines Rolls show Isabel out-lived her husband:

6/23 (13 November 1221)

[No date]. Isabella de Bolbec, countess of Oxford, has made fine with the king, by £2228 2s. 9½d., for having custody of the land and her son, the heir of Robert de Vere, formerly earl of Oxford , her husband, so that, beyond that fine, she will answer the king at the Exchequer for £1778 11s. of the debt that the earl owed to the king for several debts. She is also to render 250 m. of the aforesaid monies at Hilary in the sixth year, 250 m. at Easter in the same year, 250 m. at the Nativity of St. John the Baptist in the same year, 250 m. at Michaelmas in the same year, and £400 in the following year at the terms aforesaid, and £400 from year to year by the same terms until the aforesaid fine and debt have been paid in full.

This Isabel was "co-heiress in 1206-7 to her niece, Isabel de Bolebec, wife of Robert's brother Aubrey de Vere."

J.H Round explained the confusing records about Isabel and her family:

Her land, we read, had been (like her father's) in the custody of Reginald de Curtenai, since 1175 or thereabout, but she herself was in that of Aubrey, Earl of Oxford. In 1190 (she was then about fifteen) he gave no less than 500 marcs for licence to marry her to his son, who must have secured the fief, for he paid the scutage due on it. Her name and the fact of the marriage (although ignored in works on the peerage) are proved by two charters—Harl. Chart., 57 C. 3 and Add. Chart. 6026—granted by "Albericus de Ver filius Alberici comitis et femina sua Isabel filia Walteri de Bolebech," of which the latter was granted to Woburn Abbey and was, I have found, the actual charter produced by the Abbot of Woburn in 1231.

(Bracton's Notebook, Case 633). This Isabel, it appears, died childless, so that her husband, then Earl, could not even claim tenure " by the curtesy." The Bolebec fief passed away to his wife's heirs.

This crisis in the Veres' fortunes must be dated in or just before 1207. It is evident that the heirs of the Countess were her father's sisters, Isabel and a younger sister. Isabel, who was probably a maiden aunt, well over forty,1 was at once sought in marriage as " daughter of Hugh and sister and heir of Walter de Bolebec," by Robert de Ver, younger brother to the Earl. She retorted, clearly, by offering £200 and three palfreys that she might not be " distrained " to marry by the King or any other lord (ibid.)." Robert, however, married her and was holding, in 1211, her moiety of the Bolebec barony. He succeeded to the earldom and was father by her of the next earl, Hugh. There were thus two successive earls, each of whom married an heiress, named Isabel de Bolebec. This singular fact has been hitherto unsuspected.

Marriage to Henry de Nonant:

Richardson states that Robert de Vere married the widow of Henry de Nonant (d 1206). This agrees with with conclusion given in Complete Peerage, in its "Oxford" article, which explains that the evidence is in the Curia Regis Rolls, vol. vii, p. 342, and also explains how the evidence has been misinterpreted.

Darryl Lundy states, incorrectly, that Isabel married Henry de Nonant after 1221, presumably based on Robert de Vere's death in 1221 - Richardson has that Robert de Vere died "before 25 October 1221".

Robert DE VERE 3rd Earl of Oxford and Isabel DE BOLEBEC had the following children:

22.

Saer DE QUINCY 1st Earl of Winchester 1st Earl of Winchester, son of Robert DE QUINCY JUSTICIAR OF LOTHIAN and Judith Orabilis FITZNESS OF LEUCHARS, was born in 1090 in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England, United Kingdom. He married c. 1136. He died in 1158 in Winchester, Hampshire, England. Saher de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester (c. 1155-3 November 1219) (or Saieur di Quinci) was one of the leaders of the baronial rebellion against John, King of England, and a major figure in both the kingdoms of Scotland and England in the decades around the turn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

Scottish Upbringing

Saher de Quincy's immediate background was in the Scottish kingdom: his father, Robert de Quincy, was a knight in the service of King William the Lion, and his mother, Orabilis de Mar, was the heiress of the lordship of Leuchars in Fife (see below).

His own rise to prominence in England came through his marriage to Margaret, the younger sister of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester: but it is probably no coincidence that her other brother was the de Quincy's powerful Fife neighbour, Roger de Beaumont, Bishop of St Andrews. Earl Robert died in 1204, and left Margaret as co-heiress to the vast earldom along with her elder sister. The estate was split in half, and after the final division was ratified in 1207, de Quincy was made Earl of Winchester.

Earl of Winchester

Following his marriage, Winchester became a prominent military and diplomatic figure in England. There is no evidence of any close alliance with King John, however, and his rise to importance was probably due to his newly acquired magnate status and the family connections that underpinned it.

One man with whom he does seem to have developed a close personal relationship is his cousin, Robert Fitzwalter (d. 1235). In 1203, they served as co-commanders of the garrison at the major fortress of Vaudreuil in Normandy. They surrendered the castle without a fight to Philip II of France, fatally weakening the English position in northern France. Although popular opinion seems to have blamed them for the capitulation, a royal writ is extant stating that the castle was surrendered at King John's command, and both Winchester and Fitzwalter endured personal humiliation and heavy ransoms at the hands of the French.

In Scotland, he was perhaps more successful. In 1211 to 1212, the Earl of Winchester commanded an imposing retinue of a hundred knights and a hundred serjeants in William the Lion's campaign against the Mac William rebels, a force which some historians have suggested may have been the mercenary force from Brabant lent to the campaign by John.

Magna Carta

In 1215, when the baronial rebellion broke out, Robert Fitzwalter became the military commander, and the Earl of Winchester joined him, acting as one of the chief authors of Magna Carta and negotiators with John; both cousins were among the 25 guarantors of the Magna Carta. De Quincy fought against John in the troubles that followed the sealing of the Charter, and, again with Fitzwalter, travelled to France to invite Prince Louis of France to take the English throne. He and Fitzwalter were subsequently among the most committed and prominent supporters of Louis's candidature for the kingship, against both John and the infant Henry III.

The Fifth Crusade

When military defeat cleared the way for Henry III to take the throne, de Quincy went on crusade, perhaps in fulfilment of an earlier vow. In 1219 he left to join the Fifth Crusade, then besieging Damietta. While in the east, he fell sick and died. He was buried in Acre, the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, rather than in Egypt, and his heart was brought back and interred at Garendon Abbey near Loughborough, a house endowed by his wife's family.

Family

The family of de Quincy had arrived in England after the Norman Conquest, and took their name from Cuinchy in the Arrondissement of Béthune; the personal name "Saher" was used by them over several generations. Both names are variously spelt in primary sources and older modern works, the first name being sometimes rendered Saher or Seer, and the surname as Quency or Quenci.

The first recorded Saher de Quincy (known to historians as "Saer I") was lord of the manor of Long Buckby in Northamptonshire in the earlier twelfth century, and second husband of Matilda of St Liz, stepdaughter of King David I of Scotland by Maud of Northumbria. This marriage produced two sons, Saer II and Robert de Quincy. It was Robert, the younger son, who was the father of the Saer de Quincy who eventually became Earl of Winchester. By her first husband Robert Fitz Richard, Matilda was also the paternal grandmother of Earl Saer's close ally, Robert Fitzwalter.

Robert de Quincy seems to have inherited no English lands from his father, and pursued a knightly career in Scotland, where he is recorded from around 1160 as a close companion of his cousin, King William the Lion. By 1170 he had married Orabilis, heiress of the Scottish lordship of Leuchars and, through her, he became lord of an extensive complex of estates north of the border which included lands in Fife, Strathearn and Lothian.

Saher de Quincy, the son of Robert de Quincy and Orabilis of Leuchars, was raised largely in Scotland. His absence from English records for the first decades of his life has led some modern historians and genealogists to confuse him with his uncle, Saer II, who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King in 1173, when the future Earl of Winchester can have been no more than a toddler. Saer II's line ended without direct heirs, and his nephew and namesake would eventually inherit his estate, uniting his primary Scottish holdings with the family's Northamptonshire patrimony, and possibly some lands in France.

Issue

By his wife Margaret de Beaumont, Earl Saher had three sons and three daughters:

1.) Lora who married Sir William de Valognes, Chamberlain of Scotland.

2.) Arabella who married Sir Richard Harcourt.

3.) Robert (d. 1217), before 1206 he married Hawise of Chester, 1st Countess of Lincoln, sister and co-heiress of Randolph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester.

4.) Roger, who succeeded his father as earl of Winchester (though he did not take formal possession of the earldom until after his mother's death).

5.) Robert de Quincy (second son of that name; d. 1257) who married Elen, daughter of the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great.

6.) Hawise, who married Hugh de Vere, 4th Earl of Oxford. Saer was buried aft 3 Nov 1219 in Acre, Kingdom of Jerusalem. He married Margaret DE BEAUMONT. He married Margaret DE BEAUMONT.

Margaret DE BEAUMONT and Saer DE QUINCY 1st Earl of Winchester had the following children:

Aubrey III DE VERE First Earl of Oxford First Earl of Oxford, son of Aubrey II DE VERE and Adeliza CLARE, was born in 1115. He died on 26 Dec 1194 in Earls Colne, Essex, England. He was buried in Colne Priory, Earls Colne, Essex, England. He married Agnes OF ESSEX Countess of Oxford.

Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford (c. 1115 – 26 December 1194) was a noble involved in the succession conflict between King Stephen and Empress Matilda in the mid-twelfth century.

He was the son of Aubrey de Vere, master chamberlain, and Alice (died c. 1163), a daughter of Gilbert de Clare.

In 1136 or 1137 Aubrey de Vere married Beatrice, the daughter of Henry, Constable of Bourbourg, and the granddaughter and heiress of Manasses, Count of Guînes in the Pas de Calais. After the death of Manasses late in 1138, Aubrey travelled to Guînes, did homage to Thierry, Count of Flanders, and was made Count of Guînes by right of his wife. The marriage, however, may not have been consummated, due to the poor health of Beatrice.

Aubrey de Vere succeeded on 15 May 1141, after his father had been slain by a mob in London at a time of civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda over the succession to the crown. King Stephen had been captured at the Battle of Lincoln in February 1141, so Aubrey did homage to the Empress. His brother-in-law, the Earl of Essex, appears to have negotiated the grant of an earldom to Aubrey in July 1141, which grant was confirmed by Henry fitz Empress in Normandy. The latter charter provided that Aubrey de Vere would be Earl of Cambridgeshire, with the third penny, unless that county were held by the King of Scots, in which case he was to have a choice of four other titles. In the event, de Vere took the title of Earl of Oxford. Earl Geoffrey made his peace with King Stephen when the king regained his freedom late in 1141 and most likely Aubrey de Vere did as well.

In 1143, however, the King arrested Essex and Oxford at St. Albans. Both were forced to surrender their castles to the King to regain their liberty. The earl of Essex retaliated by rebelling against the king; it appears that Oxford did not actively or openly support his brother-in-law.

At some time between 1144 and 1146 the Constable of Bourbourg, arranged a divorce for his daughter Countess Beatrice with Earl Aubrey's consent, after which Oxford ceased to be Count of Guînes.

In or before 1151 Oxford married Euphemia. King Stephen and his wife, Queen Maud, gave the manor of Ickleton, Cambridgeshire, as Euphemia's marriage portion. The marriage was short-lived; Euphemia was dead by 1154, leaving no known issue. She was buried at Colne Priory. On 3 May 1152 Queen Maud died at Oxford's seat of Castle Hedingham, and in the winter of 1152–3 Oxford was with the King at the siege of Wallingford, attesting important charters in 1153 as "earl Aubrey."

In 1162 or 1163 Earl Aubrey took as his third wife Agnes, the daughter of Henry of Essex, lord of Rayleigh. At the time of the marriage Agnes was probably aged twelve. Soon after their marriage, Aubrey's father-in-law was accused of treason and fought (and lost) a judicial duel. By 1165 he attempted to have the marriage annulled, allegedly because Agnes had been betrothed to his brother, Geoffrey de Vere, but probably in reality because her father had been disgraced and ruined. Oxford reportedly 'kept his wife shut up and did not allow her to attend church or go out, and refused to cohabit with her', according to the letter the bishop of London wrote to the Pope about the case when the young countess appealed to the Roman Curia. The pope sided with Agnes and declared the marriage valid, but the earl continued to refuse to take her back as his wife. Agnes's friends appealed to the Bishop of London, and ultimately to Pope Alexander III, who in 1171 or 1172 directed the bishop to order Oxford to restore her to her conjugal rights or to suffer interdiction and excommunication. By Agnes, Oxford eventually had four sons, Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford, Ralph, Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford, and Henry, and a daughter, Alice.

In 1184 Oxford obtained the wardship of the person of Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Walter de Bolebec, but not the custody of her lands. In 1190 he paid 500 marks for the right to marry her to his eldest son and heir, Aubrey de Vere, later 2nd Earl of Oxford.

Oxford served during the civil war of 1173–4, helping to repel a force under Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester, which landed in Suffolk on 29 September 1173. He was present on 3 September 1189 at the coronation of King Richard I.

Oxford died 26 December 1194, and was buried at Colne Priory. His third wife survived him, and later was buried by his side.

Oxford was a benefactor to several religious houses, including Colne Priory, and Hatfield Regis Priory. He and his wife founded a small nunnery at Castle Hedingham in Essex.

Agnes OF ESSEX Countess of Oxford Countess of Oxford was born in 1151 in Rayleigh, Essex, England. She died aft 1212 in Oxfordshire, England. She was buried in Colne Priory.

Agnes of Essex, Countess of Oxford (1151– 1212 or later) was the daughter of a royal constable Henry of Essex and his second wife, Alice. At the age of three she was betrothed to Geoffrey de Vere, brother of the first Earl of Oxford, and turned over to be raised by the Veres soon thereafter. She remained in the household of the earl of Oxford about three years, then moved to Geoffrey's care. In her eleventh year Agnes rejected the match with Geoffrey and by early 1163 was married to his eldest brother Aubrey de Vere III, 1st Earl of Oxford, as his third wife.

In spring 1163, Agnes's father Henry was accused of treason and fought (and lost) a judicial duel. After her father's disgrace and the resulting forfeiture of his lands and offices, the earl of Oxford sought to have his marriage to Agnes annulled. On 9 May 1166, she appealed her case from the court of the bishop of London to the pope (the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, being in exile at the time). While the case was pending in Rome, the earl reportedly kept Agnes confined in one of his three castles, for which the bishop of London Gilbert Foliot reprimanded Aubrey. Pope Alexander III ruled in her favor, thus establishing the canon law requirement of consent by females in betrothal and the sacrament of marriage.

The couple later jointly founded a Benedictine priory for nuns near their castle at Castle Hedingham, Essex around 1190. Countess Agnes long survived her husband and in 1198 paid the crown for the right to remain unmarried. She died sometime in or after 1212 and was buried in the Vere mausoleum at Colne Priory, Essex.

Name Dispute

Many mistakenly have called Earl Aubrey's third wife Lucia, rather than Agnes. This mistake is based on a misreading of a single document associated with a religious house at Hedingham, Essex. A woman named Lucia was the first prioress at Castle Hedingham Priory. On her death in the early thirteenth century, an illustrated mortuary or 'bede' roll was carried to many religious houses requesting prayers for her soul. In the preface of that document Lucia is called the foundress of the priory. As the role of "founder" is generally ascribed to lay patrons and the countess presumably cooperated with her husband in the founding of the house, 18th-century scholars erroneously assumed that the prioress was Earl Aubrey's widow. Royal records disprove that assumption.

Children

Agnes bore her husband four sons and a daughter, including two future earls of Oxford:

1. Aubrey IV and

2. Robert I.

3. Her daughter Alice married 1) Ernulf de Kemesech, 2) John, constable of Chester.

4. Agnes's son Henry appears to have become chancellor of Hereford Cathedral under his uncle, Bishop William de Vere, and later a royal clerk under King John of England.

5. Little is known of Ralph de Vere except that he may have been the second son (from the order in which he witnessed his father's charters) and died before 1214, when his younger brother Robert succeeded to the earldom on the death of Aubrey IV, 2nd earl.

Agnes of Essex, countess of Oxford (c.1151-c.1212) was the daughter of Henry of Essex and his second wife. She was betrothed at age three to Geoffrey de Vere, brother of the first earl of Oxford, and turned over to the de Veres soon thereafter. Agnes later rejected the match with Geoffrey and by 1163 had married his brother Aubrey de Vere III, the earl (died 1194), as his third wife.

After her father's disgrace and forfeiture of lands and office in that year, the earl sought to have his marriage annulled. Agnes fought the action. On May 9, 1166, she appealed her case from the court of the bishop of London to the pope (the archbishop Canterbury, Thomas Becket, being in exile at the time). While the case was pending in Rome, the earl kept Agnes confined in one of his three castles, for which the bishop of London Gilbert Foliot reprimanded Aubrey. Pope Alexander ll ruled in her favor, thus establishing the right and requirement of consent by females in betrothal and the sacrament of marriage.

The couple may have co-operated in the founding of a Benedictine nunnery near their castle at Castle Hedingham, Essex. Countess Agnes survived her husband and in 1198 paid the crown for the right to remain unmarried. She died sometime in or after 1212 and was buried in the Vere mausoleum at Colne Priory, Essex/ Many have followed the mistake of antiquarians in believing the third wife of earl Aubrey to have been named Lucia. A woman of this name was prioress at Castle Heingham Priory. On Lucia's death in the early thirteenth century, a mortuary of "bede" roll was carried to many religious houses in the region requesting prayers, and in the preface of that document Lucia is called the foundress of the priory. As the countess presumably cooperated with her husband in the founding of the house, the erroneous assumption was made that the prioress was in fact Earl Aubrey's widow.

Agnes bore her husband four sons and a daughter, including two future earls of Oxford: Aubrey IV and Robert l. Her daughter Alice married 1) Ernulf de Kemesech, 2) John, constable of Chester. Their son Henry may have become chancellor of Hereford Catherdral in the bishopric of his uncle, William de Vere, and later a royal clerk under King John of England. Little is known of Roger de Vere except that he may have been the second son and that he died by 1214, so that his younger brother Robert succeeded to the title on the death of the eldest son Aubrey IV. from Wikipedia

It is unknown which wife was the mother of Henry's daughter, Agnes, who married Aubrey de Vere, first Earl of Oxford, as his third wife, but Alice seems most likely.

Judith Orabilis FITZNESS OF LEUCHARS was born c. 1135 in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. She married c. 1152 in Brackley, Northamptonshire, England. She died bef Jun 1203 in Long Buckby.

Robert DE QUINCY JUSTICIAR OF LOTHIAN and Judith Orabilis FITZNESS OF LEUCHARS had the following children:

Robert DE BEAUMONT 3rd Earl of Leicester 3rd Earl of Leicester, son of Robert DE BEAUMONT 2nd Earl of Leicester 2nd Earl of Leicester and Amice DE GAEL, was born in 1121 in Beaumont, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France. He married Petronella DE GRANDMESNIL Countess of Leicester in 1155 in Leicester Abbey, Leicestershire, England. He died on 31 Aug 1190 in Durazzo Provence, West, Albania.

Robert was the only son of Robert, second earl of Leicester, and Amice (daughter of Ralph de Gael). He was born after a number of elder sisters. He inherited from his father large estates in England and Normandy.

After 1154 he seems to have spent much of his time in charge of the Leicester lands in Normandy. By 1159 he had received from the king the marriage of Petronilla, daughter & heir of William de Grandmesnil.

The seal he used before his father's death demonstrates that he had taken the surname de Breteuil. This has some significance in that it reveals him stressing his descent from William fitz Osbern.

Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester (1168–1190) was an English nobleman, one of the principal followers of Henry the Young King in the Revolt of 1173–1174 against his father Henry II. He is also called Robert Blanchemains (meaning "White Hands" in French) and Robert Harcourt. Lord High Steward 1168–1190 [1].

When the revolt of the younger Henry broke out in April 1173, Robert went to his castle at Breteuil in Normandy. The rebels' aim was to take control of the duchy, but Henry II himself led an army to besiege the castle; Robert fled, and the Breteuil was taken on September 25 or 26.

Robert apparently went to Flanders, where he raised a large force of mercenaries, and landed at Walton, Suffolk, on 29 September 1173. He joined forces with Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and the two marched west, aiming to cut England in two across the Midlands and to relieve the king's siege of Robert's castle at Leicester. However, they were intercepted by the king's supporters and defeated in battle at Fornham, near Bury St Edmunds, on 17 October. Robert, along with his wife and many others, was taken prisoner, according to legend, by Sir William Chamberlayne, Lord of North Riston and Petsoe. Henry II took away the earl's lands and titles as well.

He remained in captivity until January 1177, well after most of the other prisoners had been released. The king was in a strong position and could afford to be merciful; not long after his release Robert's lands and titles were restored, but not his castles. All but two of his castles had been destroyed, and those two (Montsorrel in Leicestershire and Pacy in Normandy) remained in the king's hands.

Robert had little influence in the remaining years of Henry II's reign, but was restored to favour by Richard I. He carried one of the swords of state at Richard's coronation in 1189.

Robert took part in the third crusade and died at Durazzo (others say Dyrrachium), in 1190, probably at the end of August. He was buried in Leicester Abbey.

Children

He had three sons,

- William de Breteuil (who predeceased him in 1189),

- Robert, who succeeded him as earl,

- Roger, who was elected bishop of St Andrews in 1189.

He also had several daughters, among them:

- Amice married first Simon de Montfort the younger, count of Évreux, and second William des Barres the elder;

- Margaret married Saer de Quincy (d. 1219);

- Hawise entered the priory of Nuneaton as a nun,

- Petronilla, is mentioned in the obituary of Lyre Abbey.

Aubrey de Vere (c. 1085 – May 1141) ... eldest surviving son of Aubrey de Vere and his wife Beatrice. (Wikipedia)

AUBREY [II] ([before 1090]-London 15 May 1141[1099], bur Colne Priory, Essex).

The Chronicle of Abingdon records a donation by "dapiferi Albrici…et uxore eius Beatrice", with the consent of "eorum filiis…Albricus, Rogerus, Rotbertus, Wuillelmus"[1100]. Sheriff of London and Middlesex [1121/22]. Chamberlain of England, and may have been Chief Justiciar of England from [1139]. “Albericus de Veer regis camerarius” donated property to Colne priory by undated charter, witnessed by “Rogero de Veer et Roberto de Veer fratribus meis…”[1101]. He was killed in a riot in London[1102].

m ADELISA de Clare, daughter of GILBERT FitzRichard Lord of Clare and Tonbridge & his wife Adelisa de Clermont ([1090/95]-1163). Leland quotes a Vere manuscript which names "Albericus de Ver pater meus…Adeliza filia Gilberti de Clare" and "Adeliza de Estsexa, filia Alberici Ver et Adelizæ"[1103]. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her first known son in [1110]. She became a nun at the Priory of St Osyth.

Aubrey de Vere & his wife had nine children:

a) ADELISA ([1105]-after 1185). Leland quotes a Vere manuscript which names "Albericus de Ver pater meus…Adeliza filia Gilberti de Clare" and "Adeliza de Estsexa, filia Alberici Ver et Adelizæ" who married "Rogerus filius Richardi, nepos comitis Hugonis Bigot"[1104]. “Roesia comitissa” donated property to Colne priory, for the souls of “patris mei Alberici et Gaufridi domini mei”, by undated charter, witnessed by “…Willielmo de Veer, Adelisa de Veer, Adelisa de Essexa”[1105].

The same source, in another passage, records that “Alicia de Essex…est iiii.xx annorum” (presumably indicating "4 x 20 years" i.e. 80, which appears to be a more accurate assessment than the statement in the earlier passage that she was 60 years old, given the general chronology of these families) and held “Clavering sicut dotem suam, de feodo Henrici de Essex”, adding that she had “ii filios milites" and land "in comitatu Norhamton…de feodo comitis Willelmi"[1107]. m firstly ROBERT de Essex, son of [ROBERT FitzSwein & his wife Gunnor Bigod] (-[1132/40]).

The History of the foundation of Walden abbey records that “Galfridus de Mandavilla…fundator noster” married “Rosam sororem Albredi de Oxenford”[1109]. As her son by her first marriage, Arnulf de Mandeville, received a grant of property in [1141/42] (placing his birth to [1120/25]), it is likely that Rohese was one of her parents’ older children. “G de Magnavilla et Roeisa uxor eius” donated property to Hurley Priory, Berkshire by undated charter[1110]. “Roesia comitissa” donated property to Colne priory, for the souls of “patris mei Alberici et Gaufridi domini mei”, by undated charter, witnessed by “…Willielmo de Veer, Adelisa de Veer, Adelisa de Essexa”[1111]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “…Ivo Taillebois…”[1112]. m firstly GEOFFREY de Mandeville, son of WILLIAM de Mandeville & his wife [Margaret de Rie] (-Mildenhall, Suffolk 14 or 16 Sep 1144, bur 1163 New Temple Church).

She married secondly (1146) as his third wife, Baudouin Seigneur d'Ardres.

Aubrey I DE VERE, son of Alphonsus D'VER Count of Ghesnes Count of Ghesnes and Katherine DE FLANDERS Countess de Ghesnes Countess de Ghesnes, was born on 16 Dec 1030 in Ver, Duchy of Normandie. He was a Chamberlain for King Henry I. In 1086 he was a tenant-in-chief of William the Conqueror. In 1106 he was a Sheriff of Berkshire. He died on 26 Dec 1112 in Essex, England. He was buried in Dec 1112 in Earls Colne, Essex, England. He married Beatrice DE GHENT.

Aubrey (Albericus) de Vere (died circa 1112-1113) was a tenant-in-chief in England of William the Conqueror in 1086, as well as a tenant of Geoffrey de Montbray, bishop of Coutances and of Count Alan, lord of Richmond. A much later source named his father as Alphonsus.[1]

Biography

His origins are obscure and various regions have been proposed for his birthplace, from Zeeland to Brittany. He may have been Norman, possibly from the region of Ver in the Cotentin peninsula of western Normandy, but the evidence is such that no certainty is possible. Late medieval sources put forward claims of descent from Charlemagne through the Counts of Flanders or Guînes. In fact, the only connection of the Veres of England with Guînes in Flanders was through a short-lived marriage; Aubrey I's grandson Aubrey de Vere III married Beatrice, heiress to the county of Guînes, in the 12th century but there was no issue and their marriage was annulled after six or seven years of their marriage.

In the Domesday Book, he is listed as "Aubrey the chamberlain" and "Aubrey the queen's chamberlain" as well as Aubrey de Vere. He and his wife held land in nine counties in 1086. Both were accused of some unauthorized land seizures.[2] Aubrey's estates were valued at approximately £300, putting him in roughly the middle ranks of the post-conquest barons of England in terms of landed wealth.[3] He served King Henry I in the first decade of his reign as a chamberlain and local justiciar in the counties of Berkshire and Northamptonshire.[4]

Sometime in or before 1104, Aubrey's eldest son Geoffrey fell ill and was tended at Abingdon Abbey in Berkshire by the royal physician, Abbot Faritius. The youth appeared to have recovered but suffered a relapse, died, and was buried at the abbey. His parents then founded a cell of Abingdon on land they donated for the purpose: Colne Priory, Essex. Within a year of the formal dedication in March 1111, Aubrey I joined that community and died soon. His youngest son William died not long after his father. Both were buried at the priory, establishing it as the Vere family mausoleum.[5] Aubrey de Vere II then succeeded to his father's estates.

Aubrey I was married by 1086. As his spouse's name is recorded as Beatrice in 1104 and Beatrice is named as the mother of his eldest son, she was almost certainly his wife in 1086.[6] Beatrice attended the formal ceremony for the founding of Earl's Colne Priory. Besides sons Geoffrey, Aubrey II, and William mentioned above, the couple's children included Roger and Robert.[7]

Estates

The principal estates held by Aubrey de Vere in 1086: Castle Hedingham, Beauchamp [Walter], Great Bentley, Great Canfield, Earls Colne, [White] Colne, and Dovercourt, Essex; Aldham, Belstead, Lavenham, and Waldingfield, Suffolk; Castle Camps, Hildersham, Silverley, and Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire. He possessed houses and acreage in Colchester and a house in Winchester. As tenant of Geoffrey bishop of Coutances, he held Kensington, Middlesex; Scaldwell and Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire. Of the barony of Count Alan of Brittany, he held the manors of Beauchamp Roding, Canfield, and West Wickham, Essex. His wife held Aldham, Essex, in her own right of Odo bishop of Bayeux. The couple both were accused by Domesday jurors of expansion into Little Maplestead, Essex. Aubrey's seizures or questionable right of possession to estates included Manuden, Essex; Great Hemingford, Huntingdonshire; and Swaffham, Cambridgeshire. (Counties given are those of Domesday Book.)

["Alberico de Ver" attested a charter of Conan II Duke of Brittany[1072] (who ruled in his own name from 1057 to 1066). One passage in the Complete Peerage highlights the absence of proof that this was the same person as Aubrey who later held lands in England[1073]. If it was the same person, his career would have been a long one from [1057/66] to [1112], which suggests that they may have been different persons.] William I King of England granted him estates, particularly in north Essex, south Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. He attested a royal charter as Chamberlain [camerarius] in 1084.

It is not certain that these entries apply to Aubrey de Vere who has not been identified with the comital title in other sources. In addition, the unusual heading to the section "the land which belonged to…" suggests that it may have been confiscated or relinquished before the date of Domesday.] Domesday Book records “Aubrey de Vere” holding numerous properties in Essex[1075]. He acted as Sheriff of Berkshire in [1106][1076].

Beatrice DE GHENT was born in 1032 in Burgundy, France. She died c. 1106 in Earls Colne, Essex, England, United Kingdom. She was buried c. 1106 in Colne Priory, Earls Colne, Essex, England.

Aubrey I was married by 1086. As his spouse's name is recorded as Beatrice in 1104 and Beatrice is named as the mother of his eldest son, she was almost certainly his wife in 1086. Beatrice attended the formal ceremony for the founding of Earl's Colne Priory. Besides sons Geoffrey, Aubrey II, and William mentioned above, the couple's children included Roger and Robert.

Aubrey I DE VERE and Beatrice DE GHENT had the following children:

36.

Robert DE BEAUMONT Conte de Meulan Conte de Meulan was born on 6 Dec 1046 in Pont-Audemer, Eure, Upper Normandy, France. He married Elizabeth DE VERMANDOIS Countess of Leicester in 1096 in Aquitaine, France. He died on 5 Jun 1118 in Abbey de Preaux, Pont Audemer, Normandy, France. He was buried in 1118 in Abbey Of Saint Peter, Les Preaux, Normandy, France.

Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester (c. 1040/1050 – 5 June 1118), also known as Robert of Meulan, Count of Meulan, was a powerful Norman nobleman, one of the companions of William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest of England, and was revered as one of the wisest men of his age. Chroniclers spoke highly of his eloquence, his learning, and three kings of England valued his counsel. He was granted considerable lands in the Midlands by William and Henry I and made the Earl of Leicester.

Robert was born between 1040–1050, the eldest son of Roger de Beaumont (1015–1094) by his wife Adeline of Meulan (died 1081), a daughter of Waleran III, Count de Meulan, and was an older brother of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick (c. 1050–1119).

Robert de Beaumont was one of only a small number of men known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, as well as being a cousin of William, and was leader of the infantry on the right wing of the Norman army, as evidenced in the following near contemporary account by William of Poitiers:

"A certain Norman, Robert, son of Roger of Beaumont, being nephew and heir to Henry, Count of Meulan, through Henry's sister Adeline, found himself that day in battle for the first time. He was as yet but a young man and he performed feats of valour worthy of perpetual remembrance. At the head of a troop which he commanded on the right wing he attacked with the utmost bravery and success".

His service earned him the grant of more than 91 English manors confiscated from the defeated English, as listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.

When his mother died in 1081, Robert inherited the title of Count of Meulan in Normandy, and the title Viscount Ivry and Lord of Norton. He paid homage to King Philip I of France for these estates and sat as a French Peer in the Parliament held at Poissy.

He and his brother Henry were members of the Royal hunting party in the New Forest in Hampshire when King William II Rufus (1087–1100) was shot dead accidentally by an arrow on 2 August 1100. He pledged allegiance to William II's brother, King Henry I (1100–1135), who created him Earl of Leicester in 1107.

He was the last surviving Norman nobleman to have fought in the Battle of Hastings.

Robert de Beaumont was buried at the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux in Normandy.

In 1096, he married Elizabeth (or Isabel) de Vermandois, daughter of Hugh Magnus (1053–1101) and Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois (1050–1120).

In 1096 Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester (d. 1118) and reputed to be the "wisest man in his time between London and Jerusalem" insisted, in defiance of the laws of the Church, on marrying the very young Elizabeth, he being over fifty at the time. In early 1096 Bishop Ivo, on hearing of the proposed marriage, wrote a letter forbidding the marriage and preventing its celebration on the grounds of consanguinuity, i.e. that the two were related within prohibited degrees.

After his death Elizabeth remarried in 1118 to William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey.

He had the following progeny:

1. Waleran IV de Beaumont, Count of Meulan, 1st Earl of Worcester (b. 1104), eldest twin and heir.

2. Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester & Earl of Hereford (b. 1104), twin

3. Hugh de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Bedford (born c. 1106)

4. Emma de Beaumont (born 1102)

5. Adeline de Beaumont, married twice:

- Hugh de Montfort-sur-Risle;

- Richard de Granville of Bideford (died 1147)

6. Aubree de Beaumont, married Hugh II of Châteauneuf-Thimerais.

7. Agnes de Beaumont, a nun

8. Maud de Beaumont, married William Lovel (born c. 1102)

9. Isabel de Beaumont, a mistress of King Henry I. Married twice:

- Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke;

- Hervé de Montmorency, Constable of Ireland

She died on 13 Feb 1131 in Prieuré Saint-Nicaise de Meulan, Diocèse de Chartres, Seine-et-Oise, France. She was buried on 17 Feb 1131 in Priory of Lewes, Lewes, Sussex, England.

Alphonsus D'VER Count of Ghesnes Count of Ghesnes, son of Miles DE VERE and Petronilla BOLEINE Countess of Boulogne Countess of Boulogne, was born c. 1000 in Hedenham, Norfolk, England. He died in Dec 1076 in Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany, France. He was buried in 1076. He married Katherine DE FLANDERS Countess de Ghesnes.

1. Alberic de Vere 1st Baron de Vere was the son of Alphonse, Count de Chisnes and Married Beatrix daughter of Henry Cartesian of Bourgboug. In the the latter years of his life he became a monk and at his death was buried in the church of Colhe Priory which he founded.

Late medieval sources put forward claims of descent from Charlemagne through the Counts of Flanders or Guînes. In fact, the only connection of the Veres of England with Guînes in Flanders, was through a short-lived marriage; Aubrey I's grandson Aubrey de Vere III married Beatrice, heiress to the county of Guînes, in the 12th century.

Capet is regarded as the founder of the Capetian dynasty. The direct Capetians, or the House of Capet, ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by collateral branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royal pretenders since then, have belonged to the dynasty.

Hugues LE GRAND duc des Francs duc des Francs, son of Robert CAPET Ier roi des Francs Ier roi des Francs and Béatrice DE VERMANDOIS, was born "28 Augt 0898" in Paris, Île-de-France, France. He married Hadwig VON SACHSEN on 14 Sep 0937 in Oder, Steinberg, Schwandorf, Bavaria, Germany. He died on 16 Jun 0956 in Dourdan, Essonne, Île-de-France, France. He was buried on 23 Jun 0956 in Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France.

Hugh the Great (c. 898 – 16 June 956) was the Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris.

He was the son of King Robert I of France and Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois. He was born in Paris, Île-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987. His family is known as the Robertians.

In 922 the barons of western Francia, after revolting against the Carolingian king Charles the Simple (who fled his kingdom under their onslaught), elected Robert I, Hugh's father, as king of Western Francia. At the death of Robert I, in battle at Soissons in 923, Hugh refused the crown and it went to his brother-in-law, Rudolph of France. Charles sought help in regaining his crown from his cousin Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who instead of helping the king imprisoned him. Herbert then used his prisoner as an advantage in pressing his own ambitions, using the threat of releasing the king up until Charles' death in 929. From then on Herbert II of Vermandois struggled with King Rudolph and his vassal Hugh the Great. Finally Rudolph and Herbert II came to an agreement in 935.

At the death of Rudolph in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all of the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exceptions of Anjou and of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911. He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936. In 937 Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda, and soon quarrelled with Louis.

In 938 King Louis IV began attacking fortresses and lands formerly held by members of his family, some held by Herbert II of Vermandois. In 939 king Louis attacked Hugh the Great and William I, Duke of Normandy, after which a truce was concluded, lasting until June. That same year Hugh, along with Herbert II of Vermandois, Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Duke William Longsword paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis.

When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh in exchange for their young duke Richard. Hugh released Louis IV in 946 on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon. In 948 at a church council at Ingelheim the bishops, all but two being from Germany, condemned and excommunicated Hugh in absentia, and returned Archbishop Artauld to his See at Reims. Hugh's response was to attack Soissons and Reims while the excommunication was repeated by a council at Trier. In 953 Hugh finally relented and made peace with Louis IV, the church and his brother-in-law Otto the Great.

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto-Henry. At Giselbert's death (8 April 956) Hugh became effective master of the duchy, but on 16 June Hugh died in Dourdan.

Hugues le Grand meurt le « XVI des calendes de juillet 956 », c'est-à-dire le 16 juin 956, au château de Dourdan. Sa sépulture se trouve dans la basilique Saint-Denis, nécropole des rois de France.

Hugh married first, in 922, Judith, daughter of Roger, Count of Maine, and his wife Rothilde, a daughter of Emperor Charles the Bald. She died childless in 925.

Hugh's second wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, and sister of King Æthelstan. They married in 926 and she died in 938, childless.

Hugh's third wife was Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Henry the Fowler and Matilda. Children:

1 Beatrice married Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine.

2 Hugh Capet (c. 939–997)

3 Emma (c. 943 – aft. 968).

5 Otto, Duke of Burgundy, a minor in 956.

6 Odo-Henry (Henry I, Duke of Burgundy) (946–1002)

Hadwig VON SACHSEN was born on 4 Dec 0910 in Provinz Sachsen, Prusse, Allemagne. She died on 14 Mar 0965 in La Chapelle, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France.

According to the medieval chronicler Widukind of Corvey, Hedwig was a younger daughter of the Saxon duke Henry the Fowler (c.?876-936), elected King of East Francia from 919, and his second wife Matilda of Ringelheim (c.?895-968). Her siblings were Otto I, who succeeded his father as king and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 962; Duke Henry I of Bavaria; Gerberga of Saxony, who married King Louis IV of France in 939; and Archbishop Bruno of Cologne.

After her brother Otto I came to power in 936, an alliance and marriage was arranged with the West Frankish duke Hugh the Great, who sought support in his struggles with King Louis IV. Hedwig was Hugh's third wife. They married probably in May 937.

When Hedwig's husband died in 956, her son Hugh Capet was still underage. Although Hugh inherited his father's estates, he did not rule independently from the beginning. Along with her brother, Archbishop Bruno, Hedwig acted as Hugh's regent and administrator of the Robertian estates until he came of age. Bruno also held guardianship over his nephew King Lothair of France, son of his sister Gerberga, and temporarily raised to one of the most powerful nobles in West Francia. Hedwig backed her brother in his conflict with Count Reginar III of Hainaut and arbitrated in the rivalry between her son Hugh Capet and King Lothair.

Hedwig is last mentioned in 958 by the West Frankish chronicler Flodoard of Reims and may have died soon after; a 965 entry by Sigebert of Gembloux seems doubtful.

Hugues LE GRAND duc des Francs and Hadwig VON SACHSEN had the following children:

She was buried aft 14 Oct 0962 in Saint-Maixent, Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France.

Adèla de Normandie Duchesse d'Aquitaine*...Gerloc (or Geirlaug), baptised in Rouen as Adela (or Adèle) in 912, was the daughter of Rollo, first duke of Normandy, and his wife, Poppa of Bayeux. She was the

sister of Duke William Longsword. In 935, she

married William Towhead, the future count of Poitou and duke of Aquitaine. They had two children together before she

died on 14 October 962: William IV of Aquitaine...Adelaide of Aquitaine, wife of Hugh Capet.

Nichasius VON FOREZ, son of Milo DE VERE and Avelina DE NANTES, was born in Provence, France. He died in France. He married Agathe DE CHAMPAGNE.

Agathe DE CHAMPAGNE was born c. 0825 in Champagne-et-Fontaine, Dordogne, Aquitaine, France. She died c. 0890 in Normandy, France. She and Nichasius VON FOREZ had the following children:

Robert CAPET Ier roi des Francs Ier roi des Francs was born c. 0860. He died "15 juin 0923" in Soissons, Aisne, Picardie, France. He was buried "15 juin 0923" in Saint-Denis-lès-Sens, Yonne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. He married Béatrice DE VERMANDOIS.

Robert I of France was born in 866 as the posthumous son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who was elected king of West Francia in 888.[1] In time West Francia evolved into the Kingdom of France;[2] and under Odo, the royal capital was fixed in Paris. Robert and Odo came from the Robertian dynasty out of which the Capetian dynasty grew.[3]

In 885 Robert participated in the defence of Paris during the Viking siege of Paris.[4] He was appointed by Odo as the ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys. Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance.

He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; instead recognizing the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple. Charles then confirmed Robert in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of Vikings. Robert defeated a large band of Vikings in the Loire Valley in 921, after which the defeated invaders converted to Christianity and settled near Nantes.[5]

The peace between King Charles the Simple and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921 when Charles' favoritism towards Hagano aroused rebellion. Supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lotharingia, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on 29 June 922.[6]

Robert's rule was contested by the Viking leader Rollo, who had settled in the Duchy of Normandy in 911 with the permission of Charles the Simple. During Robert's reign, Rollo remained loyal to Charles, who continued to contest his deposition.[5] Gathering an army, Charles marched against Robert, and on 15 June 923 at the Battle of Soissons Robert was killed. However, his army won the battle and Charles was captured.[7] Charles remained a captive until his death in 929. Robert was succeeded as king by his son-in-law Rudolph, Count of Burgundy, also known as Raoul.

Béatrice DE VERMANDOIS, daughter of Herbert Ier DE VERMANDOIS comte de Soissons comte de Soissons, was born in 0880 in County of Vermandois. She died aft 26 Mar 0931 in Kingdom of Soissons, France.

Little in known of Beatrice, wife of Robert I, King of France. She is named in two charters (once in full, a second only in abbreviated form as 'Be.') of her son Hugh the Great. She is not referred to as queen, which seemingly places her death before her husband succeeded to the crown. The latest date of the marriage can only be indirectly dated, by the fact that Hugh was an active adult in 922.

Contents:

Rollo of Normandy was the founder and first ruler of the Viking principality in what soon became known as Normandy in modern-day western France.

Disputed origins:

The question of Rollo's Danish or Norwegian origins was a matter of heated dispute between Norwegian and Danish historians of the 19th and early 20th century, particularly in the run-up to Normandy's 1000-year-anniversary in 1911. Today, historians still disagree on this question, but most would now agree that a certain conclusion can never be reached.

Danish theory

Dudo of St. Quentin, in his De moribus et actis primorum Normannorum ducum (Latin), tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the king of Denmark, who then died and left his two sons, Gurim and Rollo, leaving Rollo to be expelled and Gurim killed. William of Jumièges also mentions Rollo's prehistory in his Gesta Normannorum Ducum however he states that he was from the Danish town of Fakse. Wace, writing some 300 years after the event in his Roman de Rou, also mentions the two brothers (as Rou and Garin), as does the Orkneyinga Saga.

Norwegian theory

Norwegian and Icelandic historians identified this Rollo with a son of Rognvald Eysteinsson, Earl of Møre, in Western Norway, based on medieval Norwegian and Icelandic sagas that mention a Ganger Hrolf (Hrolf, the Walker). The oldest source of this version is the Latin Historia Norvegiae, written in Norway at the end of the 12th century. This Hrolf fell foul of the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair, and became a Jarl in Normandy. The nickname of that character came from being so big that no horse could carry him.

Major achievements:

In the reign of Charles II the Bald, Rollo sailed up the Seine River and took Rouen, which he kept as a base of operations. He gained a number of victories over the Franks, and extorted the cession of the province since called Normandy. By the famous treaty which Charles the Bald and Rollo signed the latter agreed to adopt Christianity.

Biography details:

885 Siege of Paris

In 885, Rollo was one of the lesser leaders of the Viking fleet which besieged Paris under Sigfred. Legend has it that an emissary was sent by the king to find the chieftain and negotiate terms. When he asked for this information, the Vikings replied that they were all chieftains in their own right. In 886, when Sigfred retreated in return for tribute, Rollo stayed behind and was eventually bought off and sent to harry Burgundy.

911 Invasion of Western France

Later, he returned to the Seine with his followers (known as Danes, or Norsemen). He invaded the area of northern France now known as Normandy.

In 911 Rollo's forces were defeated at the Battle of Chartres by the troops of King Charles the Simple.[1] In the aftermath of the battle, rather than pay Rollo to leave, as was customary, Charles the Simple understood that he could no longer hold back their onslaught, and decided to give Rollo the coastal lands they occupied under the condition that he defend against other raiding Vikings. In the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (911) with King Charles, Rollo pledged feudal allegiance to the king, and converted to Christianity, probably taking the baptismal name Robert.[2] In return, King Charles granted Rollo the lower Seine area (today's upper Normandy) and the titular rulership of Normandy, centred around the city of Rouen.

There exists some argument among historians as to whether Rollo was a "duke" (dux) or whether his position was equivalent to that of a "count" under Charlemagne. According to legend, when required to kiss the foot of King Charles, as a condition of the treaty, he refused to perform so great a humiliation, and when Charles extended his foot to Rollo, Rollo ordered one of his warriors to do so in his place. His warrior then lifted Charles' foot up to his mouth causing him to fall to the ground.

Settlement of Normandy:

Initially, Rollo stayed true to his word of defending the shores of the Seine river in accordance to the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, but in time he and his followers had very different ideas. Rollo began to divide the land between the Epte and Risle rivers among his chieftains and settled there with a de facto capital in Rouen. With these settlements, Rollo began to further raid other Frankish lands, now from the security of a settled homeland, rather than a mobile fleet. Eventually, however, Rollo's men intermarried with the local women, and became more settled as Frenchmen. At the time of his death, Rollo's expansion of his territory had extended as far west as the Vire River.

Death of Rollo:

Sometime around 927, Rollo passed the fief in Normandy to his son, William Longsword. Rollo may have lived for a few years after that, but certainly died before 933. According to the historian Adhemar, 'As Rollo's death drew near, he went mad and had a hundred Christian prisoners beheaded in front of him in honour of the gods whom he had worshipped, and in the end distributed a hundred pounds of gold around the churches in honour of the true God in whose name he had accepted baptism.' Even though Rollo had converted to Christianity, some of his pagan roots surfaced at the end.

Residence at Falaise:

In Falaise, France, is a series of statues that pays tribute to the six Norman Dukes from Rollo to William the Conqueror. The castle here was the principal residence of the Norman Knights.

King Charles III of France (The Simple), gave his daughter Gisele (c 908-933) to Rollo for marriage as the marriage to Poppa, was according to Viking custom and was then invalid in the eyes of the Church of Rome.

Poppa DE BAYEUX was born c. 0872 in Bayeux, Calvados, Normandie, France. She was christened in 0872. She died on 11 Aug 0930 in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Normandie, France. She was buried in Aug 0930 in Rouen.

Poppa of Bayeux (born c. 880 AD),

She was captured in a raid, and ended up in a common law marriage with the Viking Rollo.

She was the Christian wife or mistress of the Viking conqueror Rollo, who became the first ruler of the fiefdom of Normandy.

She was the mother of William I Longsword, Gerloc and grandmother of Richard the Fearless, who forged the Duchy of Normandy

In 911, the fiefdom of Normandy was created, confirmed by treaty between King Charles III of France and the Viking jarl (that is, prince) Rollo.

According to Luc De Boever, who authored the book “The Montgomerys from the Vikings to Our Present Day” (pg 11):

“The King of France, Charles the Simple, thought it easier to give to Viking Chief Rollo a part of Nuestria which in fact the latter had already conquered. The Archbishop of Rouen organized a meeting between Rollo and the King of France, Charles the Simple, at the Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in the autumn of 911. The two leaders drew up a treaty which satisfied both. Rollo could at last stop the fighting and start organizing his lands. Charles the Simple hoped thus to no longer have anything to fear from the one who is going to stop any new Vikings arriving through the Seine valley. Moreover, Rollo had agreed to support the King of France when in need.

“Rollo agreed to be baptized and to marry Gisele, the King’s daughter; for this to be possible Rollo had to give up his mistress Poppa. Gisele was very young and died before the marriage was consummated. Rollo could thus return to Poppa, and marry her.

“Once baptized, Rollo gained the support of the Church. He became subdued and ruled his territory from Rouen.”

"In a few years, from 911 to 930. Rollo established the foundations of his territory on a solid and lasting footing in Upper Normandy.

Pippin the Hunchback (b. before 770 813) was the first son of Charles the Great (CHARLEMAGNE) of his first wife (or concubine) HIMILTRUDE. Accounts describe Pippin as normally proportioned with attractive features. However, his looks were marred by a spinal deformity from which his nickname is derived.

Due to his disability, Pippin was never a strong contender to succeed his father to the Frankish throne. Nevertheless, Charles treated his son well, giving him precedence over his younger brothers as was appropriate for his age. Pippin was an amiable fellow, and he grew to be a well-liked member of Charles' court. The hunchbacked prince probably held some hope for succession from his father. In addition, Pippin was an easy target for discontented nobles, who lavished sympathies on him and lamented the treatment his mother had received when Charles had divorced her in favor of a Lombard princess. Thus, in 780, Charles formally disinherited Pippin and had the pope baptize his third son, CARLOMAN, as Pippin. This move may have been prompted by Charles' third wife and the mother of Carloman, HILDEGARDE. The hunchbacked prince was a threat to her sons' succession, both due to Charles' doting attitude toward him and his name (Frankish succession had alternated between Charleses and Pippins for the last four generations).

Pippin was allowed to remain at court, and Charles continued to give the boy precedence over his younger brothers. Pippin also remained a popular "friend" of discontented nobles, and in 792, several counts played upon Pippin's dislike for his brothers to convince the deformed prince to play the figurehead in their rebellion. The conspirators planned to kill Charles, his wife Hildegarde, and his three sons. Pippin the Hunchback would then be set upon the throne as a more sympathetic (and more easily manipulated) king. The day of the assassination, Pippin pretended to be ill in order to meet with the plotters. The scheme nearly succeeded, but a Lombard deacon named Fardulf ultimately exposed it.

King Charles held an assembly at Regensburg to try the conspirators, and all were found guilty of high treason and ordered executed. Charles seemed still to have held fond feelings for his first son, however, for Pippin's sentence was commuted. Instead, Pippin was forced to enter the monastery of Prüm to live out the rest of his life as a monk. Pippin died there some twenty years later.

Pepin the Short (Pepin III), c. 714-768, first Carolingian king of the Franks (751-68), son of Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne. Succeeding his father as mayor of the palace (741), he ruled Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence, while his brother Carloman (d. 754) received Austrasia and what came to be Thuringia. In 743 the brothers chose Childeric III, a Merovingian, as nominal king of all the Franks. With their help St. Boniface effected far-reaching reforms that strengthened the Frankish church and advanced the conversion of the Saxons. After Carloman had retired (747) to religious life, Pepin, with the consent of the pope, St. Zacharias, forced Childeric into a monastery and had himself proclaimed king (751). In return for recognition by the pope, Pepin defended Rome against the Lombards (754, 756), from whom he wrested the exarchate of Ravenna and other cities. These he ceded to the pope, thus laying the foundation of the Papal States. Pepin also extended his territories and subdued Aquitaine.

Dyfnwal Hen or Dumnagual Hen ("Dyfnwal the Old") was a ruler of the Brittonic kingdom of Alt Clut, later known as Strathclyde, probably sometime in the early 6th century. His biography is vague, but he was regarded as an important ancestor figure for several kingly lines in the Hen Ogledd or "Old North" of Britain. As an ancestor figure, he compares to Coel Hen, another obscure figure credited with founding a number of northern dynasties.

According to the Harleian genealogies, Dyfnwal was the son of a Cinuit, the son of Ceretic Guletic, probably his predecessors as king. The Harleian genealogies name three of his sons, each of whom formed a kingly line: Clinoch, Dyfnwal's successor as king of Alt Clut; Guipno (NB this is NOT the same name as "Gwyddno"), who fathered the later king Neithon; and Cynfelyn, a king of Eidyn or Edinburgh. The Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd, a later genealogy of northern kings, gives a modified version of Dyfnwal's family tree. Here, he is the son of Idnyued and the grandson of Maxen Wledig, better known as the Roman usurper Magnus Maximus. The Bonedd follows the Harleian in making Dyfnwal the great-grandfather of Rhydderch Hael, a later king of Alt Clut, but his other descendants are altered significantly. A Gwyddno is included, but he listed as Dyfnwal's great-grandson rather than son, and he is specifically identified as Gwyddno Garanhir of the Taliesin legend. A highly confused track makes Dyfnwal the ancestor to the family of Áedán mac Gabráin, a 6th-century ruler of the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata.
