Nineteenth Generation


19-1 William de ALDITHELEY, son of William de Alditheley, was born in 1082 in Hooton, Cheshire, England. He married Joan STANLEY.

 

               "Histories of the Stanley families often ultimately trace this lineage to William de Alditheley, son of Adam de Alditheley, son of another of the same name who accompanied William the Conqueror into England in the Norman invasion of 1066. William de Alditheley married Joan, daughter of Thomas de Stoneley of an ancient Saxon family, and they lived in Staffordshire, whose land he exchanged for the lands of Stoneley, whence he took his name."

19-3 Hamon MASSEY was born about 1076 in Dunham Massey, Cheshire, England. He died in Dunham Massey, Cheshire, England. He married Margaret SACIE about 1099 in Dunham Massey, Cheshire, England.

 

               "Sites of the estates obtained by Hamon I in addition to a house in Chester and land on the Wirral pensuli a were Ullerton (Owlarton). It is about two miles south-southeast from the town of Knutsford. This probably marks the area of the greatest holdings of the Barons De Mascy in Cheshire. Within these lands Hamon De Mascy had lesser Lords who held portions thereof for him or under his 'right'. In 1092 King William Rufus was a guest at the court of Hugh Lupus in Chester. At least two of his barons attended the King, Hamon De Mascy and William Venables. They along with their entourage of adherents and servants of Hamon, accompanied the King on a hunting expedition in the Wirrall Peninsula. This probably took place on lands which had been set aside as a hunting preserve of the King and treated as his possession which had not been the subject of a grant, not even to Earl Hugh Lupus. No doubt it was as a consequence of some occurance on this hunting expedition that a new estate was give to Hamon I, in fee of Hugh Lupus. The estate, Pontington (today called the area around the village of Puddington), was on such occasion granted by the King himself, so that therafter the De Mascy Cheshire Barons held it in fee of the King rather than in fee of the Earl. As soon as the hunting party returned to Hugh Lupus' castle at Chester, Hamon sought out a scrivener, no doubt a monk whose duties were appropriate to the purpose recorded as follows: "I, William King of England do give unto Massy all my right, interest and title to the hop and hopland (valley l and) from me and mine to thee and thine with bond (boundry) and limit from heaven above to hell below, to hold of me and mine with bow and arrow when I shoot upen yerrow ( the place), and in witness to the sooth (action or statement) I seal with my wang tooth." Inscribed as witness was William Venables "fratre suo". Hamon Massey, the first baron of Dunham-Massy, held the towns of Dunham, Bowden, Hale, Ashley, and half of Owlerton, in Bucklow hundred, under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Cheshire, in the reign of William the Conqueror; all of which one Edward held formerly, as appears by Domesday Book.

                "William Peverel the younger, one of the principal supportors of King Stephen, was a commander at the Battle of the Standard and was taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln. His estates were forfeired for a time, and his castle of Nottingham was committed by them Empress Maud to William Paynel. He recovered it in 1143. His wives were Odonna and Avice de Lancaster. About March 1152/3 Henry, Duke of Normandy (the future King Henry II) and Count of Anjou, by a charted expedited at Devizes, formulated was he was prepared to give to Ranulf de Gernam the Earl of Chester, as the price of his support; not indeed, even the half of the kingdom, but yet no inconsiderable portion of it. Nine months afterwards, in December 1153, the Earl died, poisoned, as men said, by William Peverel. Shortly after his accession to the throne, King Henry II visited Nottinghamshire, in order, as the annalists state, to disenherit William Peverel for having poisoned the Earl, but more probably to punish him for what had previously been termed his wickedness and treason. William, on the King's approach, retired to one of his religious foundations where he became a monk. The honor of Peverel remained in the Crown for nearly half a century.

               "According to "The Dictionary of National Biography", his mother was probably an unknown French woman.  This birth was before Henry became king. Distinguished soldier & powerful magnate in the west country. Loyally supported his half-sister Maud in the civil war with King Stephen. Became one of Stephen's most determined opponents. A founder of St. James Priory, Bristol. He fought at the Battle of Bremule in 1119, where his father defeated King Louis VI of France. In 1122 he was created Earl of Gloucester. In 1123, he led a force to assist in the capture of the castle of Brionne, which was held by rebel Norman barons.  In 1126 he had custody of the imprisoned rebel, Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1127 he did homage to the Empress Matilda recognizng her as his father's successor to the throne. When Stephen was chosen as king over the Empress Matilda, Robert did homage to him for his English lands. In 1137 he accompanied King Stephen to Normandy where a quarrel ensued. He then threw his support to Matilda, who was in Normandy, and obtained the surrender of Caen and Bayeux to her husband, Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. In Sep. 1139 he landed in England with Matilda and took her to Arundel Castle. He became her commander-in-chief in the civil war which followed.Robert was captured by Stephen's forces, but Stephen had also been previously captured by Matilda's. The two were returned to their respective camps in an even exchange. Matilda sent Robert to Anjou to attempt to convince her husband, Geoffrey, to come to her aid. Geoffrey declined to help until he had conquered Normandy, so Robert joined in his campaign. However, hearing that Matilda was beseiged at Oxford, he hurried back to her assistance. He took Matilda's and Geoffrey's son, Henry (the future King Henry II) with him. In 1143 Robert defeated Stephen at Wilton and in 1144 he blockaded Malmesbury, Stephen refusing battle. Matilda's support had gradually dwindled, so Robert was unable to continue to press her cause. In 1147 Robert sent Henry back to Anjou. Later that year Robert died of fever at Bristol."

               "Fergus was succeeded by Uchtred, who took up his residence at Fergus Castle. Like his father, Uchtred was of a strong religious turn of mind. He followed the footsteps of his father by giving generous grants of land to the Church. To Holyrood Abbey he gave the churches of St. Cuthbert of Denesmore (Kirkcudbright), St. Bridget of Blackhet (Tongland); Twenhame (Twynholm); Keletun, alias Lochletun, now Kelton, and Kirkecormac, along with the chapel of Balnacross. The last four beonged to the old Celtic religious faith, viz., the Monks of Iona. Again this shows that neither Fergus nor his family were native Gallovidians, because their religious faith was antagonistic to that of the natives. He also founded the St. Benedict Convent of Cluden, and granted to it the lands of Crossmichael and Drumsleet, in the parish of Troqueer. To the monks of Holm Cultran, in Cumberland, he also granted the extensive tract of land known as the Grange of Kirkwinning (Kirkgunzeon). In addition to those in Galloway, he also granted Colmonell, in Carrick, to Holyrood Abbey. It is no wonder then that this opulent family received such assistance from the church.Uchtred married Gurnelda, a daughter of Waldave, son of the Earl of Gospatrick, and with her he received the lands of Torpenhow, in Wigtownshire, as a dowry.

 

               Only three years after the succession of Uchtred, Galloway was once more in arms. Malcolm, King of Scotland, died in 1165, and his brother William, better known as “William the Lion,’’ succeeded to the throne. One of his first acts was to demand the restitution of the southern part of Scotland, which had been so unwisely granted to the King of England. Under Uchtred the “Wild Scots of Galloway” rose to a man in favour of William, and marched into England. By a series of forced marches, however, the English, with only a small company of 400 horsemen, surprised the Scottish army, and captured the Scottish King. The moment the Gallovidians saw that their King was a prisoner they threw off their allegiance, and returned in confusion to their homes in Galloway. It is said or thought that Gilbert and Uchtred quarrelled at that engagement over the succession to the Lordship of Galloway, hence the confusion. It is also asserted that Gilbert accused Uchtred of treachery at the battle. At anyrate Uchtred had to fly home to Fergus Castle for protection. An internecine rebellion in Galloway was the result. Under Gilbert the natives murdered all the Saxon and Norman subjects in Galloway they could lay hands on. Not only that, but they became treacherous towards each other, and began to fight amongst themselves for the spoils. On the 22nd September, 1174, while Uchtred was in his Castle of Fergus at Lochfergus, Gilbert surprised him, and deprived him of his tongue, eyes, and otherwise mutilated him in the most revolting manner, thereby causing his death."

19-31 Somerled, King of the ISLES, son of Gillebride, was born about 1113 in Morven, Argyllshire, Scotland. He died on 1 Jan 1164 in Renfrew. He was buried in the Abbey of Saddell, Kintyre, Argyll, Scotland. He married Ragnhild OLAFSDATTER, PRINCESS OF MAN.

 

               "Somerled was born around 1113 in Morven, Argyleshire. He was the son of Gillebride Mac Gille Adomnan and a Viking woman. Although there is some contention on his ancestry, his father was apparently either of the Royal line of Dalriada, Gall Gael (which is Cruithni or Pict) or both. Somerled's name means 'summer wanderer', a name used by his contemporaries to describe the Vikings. For Somerled, it was a name that prophecized his life -and the combination of bloodlines, at least in Somerled's case, proved itself powerful, as he later forged a permanent spot for himself in the history of the Isles and Scotland.

 

               Sometime in Somerled's early youth, the Lochlans and the Fingalls (Clans or tribes) expelled Somerled's family from their home. They took refuge in Ireland, where Gillebride managed to persuade the Colla (an Irish tribe) to assist him in the recovery of his possessions or holdings. A large force of approximately 500 men accompanied the family home. The mission was a failure, however, and his father either died in the battle or soon afterwards.

 

               Somerled lived for a while in the caves of his homeland, fishing and hunting for his survival. Slowly he grew into manhood and became, according to the accounts; "A well tempered man, in body shapely, of a fair and piercing eye, of middle stature and quick discernment."

 

               During this period of his life several things happened in quick succession which made Somerled a man of stature. In one story, Somerled put himself at the head of the inhabitants of Morven and attacked the Norwegians. He was successful, and recovered his family's lands at the same time. He then was master of Morven, Lochaber and northern Argyle.

 

               Soon after this he conquered the southern portions and pronounced himself Thane or Regulus of Argyle. This happened at about the same time as David the First's war with the Norwegians, which took place in 1135, so Somerled may have received these lands in a grant from the King. His newfound power greatly increased his standing, but it also drew the attention of his neighbors, the Vikings in the Isles (the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Man and that general area). Somerled, however, still did not have the force required to take on the Olaf the Red, the Viking Lord of the Isles. Instead he chose to woo his enemy for the hand of his daughter, Ragnhild. Eventually he succeeded (some say by trickery) in obtaining Olaf's daughter's hand and the two were married in approximately 1140.

 

               For the next fourteen years Somerled and Ragnhild lived in relative peace and started raising a family. Raginald gave him three sons, Dugall, Reginald, and Angus. These sons joined his son by a previous marriage, Gillecallum.  In 1154, Olaf (Olave in some stories) was murdered by his nephews who quickly took control of the northern half of the Kingdom of the Isles. Olaf's son, Godfred (or Godfrey) heard of the events and returned from Norway, quickly regaining possession of the entire Kingdom. But Godfrey was a tyrant, and the Islemen soon revolted against his leadership. Some of the chieftans of the Isles appealed to Somerled for help. He joined them and defeated Godfrey, in the process taking the southern half of the Kingdom for himself.

 

               About two years later Godfrey and Somerled again went to war, this time Somerled was using new ships with a rudder and Godfrey was defeated again. Somerled became King of the Isles in about 1156. At about the same time, Somerled was also campaigning in Scotland to a small degree and this in combination with his new title as King of the Isles drew the attention of its King. King Malcolm IV of Scotland was concerned over Somerled's growing power and dispatched an army to Argyle. In 1160, after a battle the two Kings reached an understanding and there was again peace. This peace was short lived however, as in late 1163, after being continually insulted by Malcolm and his ministers, Somerled led an army against Scotland. The King of the Isles sailed up the Clyde with 164 galleys and 15,000 troops to Greenock. He landed at the Bay of St. Lawrence and marched on Renfrew.

 

               There are two popular stories about what occurred in Scotland. In one version, a bribed nephew murdered Somerled and the army of the Isles dispersed and went home. In the other version of the story, battle was joined between the Scots and the men of the Isles and Somerled was killed. His son Gillecallum, his heir, also died during the battle. Now without a leader, the army from the Isles dispersed and went home. In either case Somerled died in Scotland in very early 1164. Somerled is generally credited with breaking the power of the Vikings in the Isles as his descendants remained Kings of the Isles for centuries after his death. One of Somerled's grandsons, a Donald, is also considered the ancestor of the Clan Donald, for his sons were the first to carry the name MacDonald.

               "David I, King of Scotland (1124–53), youngest son of Malcolm III and St. Margaret of Scotland. During the reign of his brother Alexander I, whom he succeeded, David was earl of Cumbria, ruling S of the Clyde and Forth rivers. By his marriage to the heiress of the earl of Northumbria he also became Earl of Huntingdon and acquired a claim to Northumbria. In the long struggle for the English crown between Matilda (his niece) and Stephen, David fought for Matilda, but his main object was to secure Northumbria for himself. Although he was defeated by Stephen in the Battle of the Standard (1138), Stephen conceded him the earldom. David's internal rule was wise and momentous for Scotland. He made land grants to many Anglo-Norman families, thus providing the kingdom with a new feudal aristocracy. He also encouraged the commercial development of the Scottish burghs and strengthened the church by new foundations and endowments. He was succeeded by his grandson, Malcolm IV."

               "Saint David was the son of King Malcolm III and Queen Saint Margaret of Scotland. He was sent to the Norman court in England in 1093. In 1113, he married Matilda, the widow of the earl of Northampton, thereby becoming earl himself, and added the title earl of Cumbria when his brother Alexander I became king. He waged a long war against King Stephen for the throne of England on behalf of his niece Matilda, but was defeated at Standard in 1138. As King of Scotland from 1124, he was much more successful, ruling with firmness, justice, and charity. David established Norman law in Scotland, set up the office of chancellor, and began the feudal court. He also learned the spirit of Cistercian monks from Ailred of Rievaulx, who for a time was David's steward. Scottish monasticism began to flower from the start of David's reign and countless almshouses, leper-hospitals, and infirmaries were established. The monasteries founded under David's patronage were superb architecturally as well as spiritually. The king refounded Melrose Abbey on the main road from Edinburgh to the south, and it remained one of the richest houses in Scotland. David also founded Jedburgh Abbey in 1138, filling it was monks from Beauvais in France. At Dundrennan in Dumfries and Galloway he founded in 1142 a splendid abbey and staffed it with Cistercians from Rievaulx. The monks were so well managed that they even started their own shipping line and traded from the Solway Firth less than two miles away."

               "1143–1214, king of Scotland (1165–1214), brother and successor of Malcolm IV. Determined to recover Northumbria (lost to England in 1157), he supported the rebellion (1173–74) of the sons of Henry II of England. The result was that he was captured by Henry, who forced him to sign the Treaty of Falaise (1174), making Scotland a feudal possession of England. Released in 1175, he immediately asked the pope to declare the Scottish church free of English domination. A quarrel with the pope delayed the decision, but, in 1188, Pope Clement III declared the church in Scotland subject only to Rome. In 1189, William was able to buy annulment of the Treaty of Falaise from Richard I of England for 10,000 marks. After the succession (1199) of King John in England, William once more demanded the restoration of Northumbria but was finally forced (1209) by show of arms to abandon the claim. William put down several revolts within Scotland and furthered somewhat the process of feudalization in the kingdom. His alliance (1168) with Louis VII of France began a long friendship between France and Scotland, later to be known as the Auld Alliance. He was succeeded by his son, Alexander II."

Yet William was probably known as the Earl of Sussex or of Chichester, not as the Earl of Arundel. That title had originally been bestowed upon Roger de Montgomeri, who fought at Hastings, in 1067.

Geoffrey "was a clever man, thought handsome by contemporaries...tall, graceful and strong, with a fair and ruddy countenance and sharp eyes. Well educated, he gloried in recalling the deeds of his ancestors and played up the chivalric ideal. Yet he was also cold and cruel. His career as a count was in large measure dominated by the pursuit of his wife Matilda's inheritance of Normandy and England, although he imposed limits on his participation; he was single-minded in his determination to conquer Normandy, Anjou's great enemy, but gave no help in England."{-"The Plantagenet Chronicles," ed. by Elizabeth Hallam (N.Y.: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1986, p.47.} He was Duke of Normandy and is buried at LeMans Cathedral."
