Twentieth Generation


20-1 William de ALDITHELEY, son of Adam de Alditheley, was born about 1040 in Hooton, Cheshire, England.
 
 

20-3 Henry de FERRERS, son of Walchelinde de Ferrers, was born about 1036 in Ferrieres, Normandy, France. He died in 1088 in Tutbury, Staffordshire, England. He was buried in Tutbury, Staffordshire, England. He married Bertha ROBERTS about 1061 in Normandy, France.
 

               "Henry became a major land holder, almost all the hundred of Appletree in Derbyshire. He was granted 210 manors and  lordships throughout England and Wales by Duke William of Normandy for his conspicuous bravery and support at Hastings.  114 of these manors were in Derbyshire and much in Nottingham over which he held virtual rule. The family became the Earls  of both Derby and Nottingham, but the alternate title and estates of Earl Ferrers were lost in 1266 to the son of Henry 111,  Edmund, Earl of Leicester. In 1071 Hugh Lupus was made Earl of Chester and surrendered Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire  and Henry Ferrers made it his chief domain. Henry had three sons Enguenulf, William and Robert. The two eldest  predeceased Henry."

20-4 Bertha ROBERTS was born about 1040 in Gostenois, Normandy, France. She died in Darley, Derbyshire, England.
 
 

20-5 Andre Seigneur de VITRE was born about 1054 in Vitre, Brittany, France. He married Agnes de MORTAIGNE about 1079 in France.
 
 

20-6 Agnes De MORTAIGNE, son of Robert, Count de Mortaigne and Maude de Montgomery, was born about 1054 in Mortagne, France.
 
 

20-7 William "the Elder" PEVEREL, son of Ranulph Peverell and Ingelrica Maud,was born about 1062 in Normandy, France. He died on 17 Apr 1113 in England. He married Adeline (Adeliza) in about 1071.
 

               "A castle has existed in Nottingham since 1068 and was erected by William Peverel on the orders of William the Conqueror."    http://www.cms.salford.ac.uk
 

             "William de Peverel, the next major land holder in Derbyshire, was somewhat of a mystery. There are strong claims he was the bastard son of Duke William of Normandy in a relationship with Maud, daughter of a Saxon noble, Ingleric. Whether this lady was married to Ranulph before or after the relationship is uncertain. The difficulty in the argument is one of timing. If he, William  Peveral, appears in 1068 in charge of Nottingham Castle, he must have been at least twenty years old. That makes this liaison  between Duke William and Maud somewhere around 1046 and must have been in Normandy. This is supported by both William  and his half brother, Ranulf, both being of age, were recorded at the Battle of Hastings. Nevertheless, William Peveral became the  holder of Nottingham Castle, and a further 162 lordships and manors throughout England and Wales, including the Peak Castle in  Derbyshire, all granted by Duke William of Normandy. The grant almost blended the distinction of the two counties, Nottingham  and Derby and courts of assize were held alternately between the two jurisdictions. The royal relationship of William Peverel was further clouded by Ranulph Peverel, legitmate son of Maud and Ranulph, half brother of William, possibly treated (theoretically) as a stepson of the Duke, who, surprisingly, was granted 64 manors, almost as many as William Peverel (69 manors) in Nottingham. From Ranulph is descended the distinguished baronial family of Peverel and its many branches. William Peverel, on the other hand, married Adelina, daughter of Roger de Poitou and acquired, through her, many lordships in Lancashire, probably a few years after the Domesday around 1094 or soon after. when Roger died."

20-8 Adeline (Adeliza) was born about 1054 in Nottinghamshire, England. She died on 19 Jan 1119/1120 in England.
 
 

20-9 Roger "The Poitevin" MONTGOMERY, son of Roger de Montgomery and Mabel Talvas, was born about 1058 in Marche, Poitou, France. He died after 1102. He married Almodis (Audmodis) Countess of LA MARCHE about 1083 in Poitou, France.
 
 

20-10 Almodis (Audmodis) Countess of LA MARCHE was born about 1062 in Marche, Poitou, France.
 
 

20-11 William de BRAOSE was born about 1049 in Brienze, Normandy, France. He died in 1087 in Bramber, Sussex, England. He married Agnes de SAINT CLARE.
 

               "Guillaume de Briouze is recorded in lists of those present at the Battle of Hastings. He became the first Lord of Bramber Rape by 1073 and built Bramber Castle. William made considerable grants to the abbey of Saint Florent, Saumur to endow the foundation of Sele Priory near Bramber and a priory at Briouze. He continued to fight alongside King William in the campaigns in Britain, Normandy and Maine.

20-12 Agnes de SAINT CLARE, son of Waldron de Saint Clare and Helena Le Bon,was born about 1054 in Barnstaple, Devonshire, England.
 
 

20-13 Judeal Johel de TOTENAIS, son of Alured de Totnais, was born about 1049 in Barnstable, Devonshire, England. He married Miss de PECGUIGNY.
 

               "Totnes (Toteneis, Totton) was a place of considerable importance in Saxon times; it possessed a mint in the reign of Ethelred, and was governed by a portreeve. In the Domesday Survey it appears as a mesne borough under Juhel of Totnes, founder of the castle and priory; it had 95 burgesses within and 15 without the borough, and rendered military service according to the custom of Exeter."
 

                http://23.1911encyclopedia.org/T/TO/TOTNES_EARL_OF.htm
 

               "Totnes Castle occupies a high, commanding position overlooking the town. Its builder was almost certainly Juhel, one of William the Conqueror's commanders in the Norman campaign which swept through the South-West in 1068.  In return for his military service, Juhel was granted Totnes and extensive estates in South Devon."

20-17 Bernard de NEUFMARCHE, Lord Marcher, BARON OF BRECNOCH, son of Geoffrey de Neufmarche and Ada de Hugleville, was born about 1070 in Neufmarche, France. He married Nest Verch OSBORN.
 

               "1085 - Sometime here the father of Bernard of Neufmarche (in Normandy) disgraces himself, and his lands are taken. Bernard tries to regain his family's honor. 1087 - Bernard of Neufmarche swears fealty to King William Rufus and marries the daughter of a Norman marcher lord on the Welsh border.1093 - Bernard of Neufmarche gains victory at the Battle of the Honddu, slaying the Welsh prince Rhys ap Tewdwr and becoming Lord of Brecknock. Bernard builds Brecon castle, and founds an abbey"
 

               http://users.codenet.net/dterhune/blkmtn/timeline.html
 

               "Brecon castle and town are Norman in origin. The castle came first and was the creation of Bernard de Neufmarche. He took his surname from the village of Neufmarche near Rouen, the capital of Normandy. He was of the second generation of conquerors who extended Norman influence into the Marches of Wales. By 1093 de Neufmarche and his knights had defeated the Welsh rulers of south Wales and began to build themselves the castles from which they intended to control their new lands."
 

               http://www.castlewales.com/brecon.html
 

               "The family of Bernard of Neufmarche had served the Duke of Normandy for years with distinction, but his father was disgraced and dispossessed and Bernard had to make good his loss by service with William Rufus, son and successor to William the Conqueror as King of England.  In late 1087, Bernard acquired lands in Herefordshire through marriage to the heiress of Osbern FitzRichard, who had himself married a Welsh princess. Osbern was the son of Richard le Scrob, a Norman knight who, in the time of Edward the Confessor, built Richard's Castle on the Welsh border. By late 1088, Bernard had taken his followers past the defenses of Clifford Castle, held by the Tosny family, and invaded Welsh territory. He lost no time in establishing a motte at Gasbury, from which he refused to be moved.
 

               Over the next five years, Bernard and his men were probing the defences of Brycheiniog. The Welsh prince Rhys ap Tewdwr of Deheubarth was called in to defend the lands against their attacks and in 1093 he and "the Normans who were living in Brycheiniog" met near the point where the River Honddu falls into the Usk. There in a great battle Rhys ap Tewdwr was killed, and with his death the way was cleared for conquest and settlement by the Normans, for no other Welsh leader of name would emerge for a generation.
 

               In battle Bernard was a marvel, with a visage so fearsome that it is said that his enemies would turn and run at the mere sight of him, and that indeed, some dropped dead from terror. His authority was so great that he could command the faeries and giants to build his castles. That he did not conquer the whole of Wales is but a testimony to his modesty. Thus it is said.
 

               Bernard established his principle castle at Aberhonddu which the Normans named Brecon: there he founded a priory church and a small borough. The invaders gave it protection by building a series of mottes as an outer line of defence, and Bernard's knights, endowed with lands in the river valleys, established their own castles. Bronllys and Hay guarded the approach from Herefordshire; Tretower and Crickhowell controlled the route which would lead to Abergavenny and the lands of Gwent; Aberyscir and Trecastell were the defences on the western side of Brecon towards Cantref Bychan. The mountainous country which formed the Great Forest of Brecknock was slowly provided with a series of small castles and hunting lodges. North of Brecon, towards the inhospitable uplands of the Epynt, the displaced Welsh dynasty established a base from which they would harry the Normans to day.
 

               In religious matters, Bernard's patronage was attracted to Battle Abbey in Sussex. There, William the Conqueror wanted to establish a monastery which should be a memorial to his great victory of 1066. His son William Rufus, with an unexpected display of filial devotion, made sure that Battle was brought to completion and dedicated. As Bernard was one of Rufus' new men, he might have been expected to support his lord. The parallel of the Conqueror's success at Hastings and Bernard's success in his Welsh territory must not be ignored. It was said that Bernard had in his entourage monks of Battle Abbey. Whether by design or by the accident of their influence, the church of his new lordship was deliberately associated with Battle Abbey, and the priory of Brecon has always been directly subject to the abbot of Battle. Priors of Brecon were appointed and removed at his will, and the fortunes of the priory were closely linked with those of the parent house."

20-18 Nest verch OSBORN, daughter of Osbern Fitzrichard and Nest verch Gruffyddwas born about 1079 in Herefordshire, England.
 

               "Bernard de Neufmarche was the first Norman to seize possession of this county of Brecknock from the suzerainty of the Welsh. He married Nest, the daughter of Nest, herself daughter of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, who for so long had oppressed all Wales by his tyranny. She took her name Nest from her mother, but the English changed it and called her Agnes. Bernard had children by her, among them a distinguished knight called Mahel, who lost his paternal inheritance by an injustice as I shall tell you. His mother broke her marriage vow and fell in love with a certain knight, with whom she committed adultery. This became known, and her son Mahel assaulted her lover one night when he was returning from his mother. He gave him a severe beating, mutilated him, and packed him off in great disgrace.
 

               The mother, disturbed by the remarkable uproar which ensued, and greatly grieved in her woman's heart, was filled with a burning desire for revenge. She fled to Henry, King of the English, and told him that her son Mahel was not Bernard's child, but the offspring of another man with whom she had been in love and with whom she had had secret and illicit intercourse. This she maintained rather from malice than because it was true, confirming it by an oath which she swore in person before the whole court. As a result of this oath, which was really perjury, King Henry, who was swayed more by prejudice than by reason, in 1121 gave Nest's elder daughter Sybil, whom she accepted as Bernard's child, in marriage to a distinguished young knight of his own family, Miles FitzWalter, constable of Gloucester, adding the lands of Brecknock as a marriage portion. So this woman, at great loss to her personal modesty, and with the sacrifice of all decorum and self-respect, by this one shameful act deprived both her son of his inheritance and herself of her honour. She did this to reap revenge and to satisfy her anger."

20-19 Ranulf de MESCHINES, VISCOUNT DE BAYEUX, son of Ranulph, Count de Bayeux and Alix de Normandy, was born about 1050 in Normandy, France. He died in 1129. He married Maud D'AVRANCHES about 1069 in Normandy, France.
 
 

20-20 Maud D' AVRANCHES, daughter of Richard D'Avranches and Emma de Conteville,was born about 1054 in Avranches, Normandy, France.
 
 

20-21 Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln was born about 1040 in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. He was either the father or the brother of Lady Godiva. He married Miss MALET about 1065 in Lincolnshire, England.
 

               "Thorold is, along with Godiva, one of few Saxons who retained land after the conquest."

20-22 Miss MALET, daughter of William Malet, was born about 1044 in Alkborough, Lincolnshire, England.
 
 

20-23 Henry I "Beauclerc", King Of ENGLAND, son of William I "The Conqueror" and Matilda, Countess of Flanders, was born in 1068 in Selby, Yorkshire, England. He was christened on 5 Aug 1100 in Selby, Yorkshire, England. He died on 1 Dec 1135 in St. Denis, Seine-St Denis, France. He was buried on 4 Jan 1136 in Reading Abbey, Reading, Berkshire, England.





               "Henry was of moderate height and thickly set, with black hair and a soft expression in his eyes. The expression was misleading for he could be ruthless and unforgiving when necessary - on one day he ordered forty-four thieves to be hanged. However Henry was seen to be fair and he became known as the 'lion of justice': the strength of his kingship is perhaps illustrated by the lack of rebellions in his reign. He was also highly pragmatic, had a scandalous private life and only paid lip service to religion (it was said that his chaplain was chosen for the speed at which he could say mass).
 

               His pragmatism stretched to politics and war. In 1100 his elder brother Robert 'Curthose', the duke of Normandy and a rival for the English throne, who had returned from the Crusades with high prestige, invaded England and forced Henry to pay him an annual sum of £2,000. Henry did so for several years but in 1106 himself invaded Normandy and captured Robert at the Battle of Tinchebrai. Henry was now king of England and Normandy, and Robert was to spend the last twenty-eight years of his life as Henry's prisoner. The chroniclers warmly praised Henry for his wisdom and his ability to gain military victories; in contrast, he was also noted for his insatiable quest for money. To satisfy this need an accounting system was developed to calculate the dues owed to the king. This involved moving counters about a large chequered cloth and the department became known as the Exchequer. (A chequered cloth and counters were used because the Roman method of using letters for numbers, V for 5, X for 10 and so on, had not yet been replaced by Arabic numerals, which included zero. Arabic numbers were first introduced into England in the fourteenth century.) Not surprisingly the exchequer was the first department which became too large to travel with the king and court and therefore remained at either Winchester or Westminster.
 

               The king still travelled about the kingdom a great deal and his usual retinue of followers included great men and small, from the chancellor and treasurer to the fruiterers, tent-keepers and wolf-hunters. Despite his twenty known illegitimate children and two marriages he only had two legitimate children, William the Aetheling (the Anglo-Saxon for prince) and Matilda. The succession seemed secure until William died in a shipwreck; only a butcher survived who reported that everyone had been drunk. Henry was devastated and the succession became uncertain. His only other legitimate child, Matilda, had married the Emperor of Germany, and then Geoffrey, Count of Anjou. The second marriage was deeply unpopular amongst the English barons, even though Henry had taken the expedient measure of ensuring that they took an oath to recognise Matilda as Lady of England if he died without male heir. Her husband had other ideas and, eager for the English crown, went to war against Henry. The two were still at war when Henry died, probably after eating too many eels, in December 1135.

               "King of England, surnamed, on account of his superior education, Beauclerc, was the youngest son of William the Conqueror, and was born at Selby, in Yorkshire, in 1068. Jealousies and dissensions early broke out between him and his elder brothers, Robert and William (Rufus), and on the sudden mysterious death of William in the New Forest, in 1100, Henry, who was hunting with him, immediately seized the crown and the public treasures, his brother Robert being not yet returned from the crusade.
 

               To strengthen his hold on the affections of his subjects, he granted a charter re-establishing the laws of the Confessor, abolished the curfew, professed a reform in his own character and manners and married the Princess Maud, daughter of Malcolm, King of Scotland, and niece of Edgar Atheling, thus uniting the Norman and Saxon races. When Robert invaded England in 1101, war was prevented by negotiation and the grant to Robert of a pension of 3000 marks.
 

               The same year began the quarrel between the King and Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury, respecting investitures. Henry, ambitious of the crown of Normandy, invaded that country in 1105, and took Caen, Bayeux, and several other places. He completed the conquest in the following year by the defeat and capture of Robert at the battle of Tenchebrai.
 

               In 1109 the Princess Matilda (Maud) was betrothed to the Emperor Henry V, but in consequence of her youth, the marriage was deferred for several years. Troubles in Normandy and in Wales, and war with the King of France, occupied Henry in the next few years In 1118 he lost his Queen, Maud, and two years later his only legitimate son, the Prince William, who, with his retinue, perished by shipwreck, on the passage from Normandy to England. It is said that the King was never seen to smile again. In 1121 he married Adelais, or Alice, daughter of Geoffrey, Duke of Louvain, and on the failure of his hope of offspring, he had his daughter, the Empress Maud, then a widow, acknowledged heiress to the throne. Henry died at Rouen, from the effects of gluttony, December 1, 1135, having been absent from England nearly two years and a half."

20-25 Robert FITZHAMON, LORD OF CORBEIL, son of Hamon Fitzhamon, was born about 1070 in East Chester, England. He died on 10 Mar 1107. He married Sibyl de MONTGOMERY about 1084 in Normandy, France.
 

               "In 1087, the Manor of Tewkesbury was handed by William Rufus 221 to his cousin, Robert FitzHamon. With Abbot Giraldus, FitzHamon founded the present Abbey in 1092. The Abbey's dimensions are almost identical with those of the original Westminster Abbey. When, in 1107, FitzHamon died at Falaise in Normandy, his son-in-law, Robert Fitzroy became Earl of Gloucester and continued the building work."

               http://www.btinternet.com/~timeref/hpl619.htm
 

               "In South Wales, one Marcher lord, Robert FitzHamon, had William's blessing to distribute the lands of Glamorgan among a dozen of his own men. While FitzHamon (who built Cardiff Castle) doled out his best lands to his favorites, he forced at least one member of his retinue, Sir Payn de Turberville, to acquire land on his own."
 

               http://www.castlewales.com/coity.html
 

               "Geoffrey died in 1093 and the castle (Bristol) was handed over to Robert FitzHamon. In 1106 FitzHamon built St. Peter's church. Robert FitzHamon died from wounds received whilst fighting for King Henry I against Robert, Duke of Normandy. His daughter, Mabel, was married off to Henry I's illegitimate son, Robert of Caen who was made the Earl of Gloucester."

               "Cardiff Castle was built by Robert FitzHamon, perhaps on the site of the smaller Welsh fortress of the princes of Morganwy, and was probably started in 1081."

20-26 Sibyl de MONTGOMERY, daughter of Roger de Montgomery and Mabel Talvas,was born about 1066 in St. Germain Mntgm, Normandy, France.
 
 

20-27 Simon I of MONTFORT, son of Amauri, Seigneur of Montfort and Bertrade de Gometz, was born about 1025 in Montfort Amaury, Ile De France, France. He died in 1087. He was buried in Epernon, Normandy, France. He married Agnès D' EVREUX about 1058 in Normandie.
 
 

20-28 Agnès D' EVREUX, daughter of Richard D'Evreux and Adele,was born about 1030 in Evreux, Normandie.
 
 

20-29 Anselm de GARLENDE, son of Guillaume de Garlende, was born about 1069 in Garlende, France. He died in 1118. He married Miss de MONTLHERY about 1094 in Montlhery, France.
 

               "Persuaded by the men of Corbeil, the king hastened there with a handful of household troops, to avoid publicity. It was late, and the men in the castle were still chatting around their fires, when those who had been sent on ahead, the seneschal Anselm of  Garlande, a very brave knight, and about forty armed men, were received at the gate which had been agreed, and made vigorous efforts to capture it. But the garrison, surprised by the neighing of the horses and the inopportune noise of the knights, rushed to oppose them. Because the entrance was restricted by the enemy's gates, those who had entered could neither go forward nor back at will, so the inhabitants, emboldened by their position, could cut down those in front of the gates very easily. The attackers, oppressed by darkening shadows and by their unfortunate position, could not long sustain the blows and returned to the outer gate. But the very courageous Anselm, sacrificing himself in retreat, could not beat the enemy to the gate; he was captured and occupied the tower of the castle, not as its conqueror but as a captive along with the Count of Corbeil. Their misery was equal, though their fears were different; for one feared death, the other only disinheritance.
 

               Moved by their fear, the king at once surrounded the castle, obstructed the roads which led to the gates, built four or five barriers around it and deployed both the kingdom's and his own resources for the capture of the captives and the castle. Hugh, who had at first been delighted by the seize of Anselm, was now terrified of the prospect of losing him and the castle.
 

               Much later in different circumstances, after he had been received back into the king's favour by offering many hostages and oaths, Hugh resumed the path of deception. Again he was besieged by the king, disinherited again; yet though he pierced the king's steward Anselm of Garlande, a valiant baron, with his own lance, this was not enough to make him forget his innate and habitual treason, until he took the road to Jerusalem."

20-31 Simon de SENLIS, COUNT HUNTINGTON AND NORTHAMPTON, son of Ranulph "The Rich",was born about 1046 in Normandy, France. He died about 1111 in La Charite-Sur-Loir, Nievre, France. He was buried in St. Neots, France. He married Matilda (Maud) HUNTINGTON, in 1090 in Huntingdonshire, England.
 

               "Simon de Senlis was the near mythical figure who transformed a huddle of mud and wattle huts clinging to a rise beside the river Nene into one of the most formidable citadels of post-conquest England - Northampton. Almost thirty years after he fought alongside the Conqueror at Hastings, Simon joined and helped shape the first Crusade to the Holy Land - and activity which united the major powers of Europe for the first time. He later raised Northampton's most famous building, the round church of St Sepulcher which stands in what is now Sheep Street."
 

               http://www.hammon-osborne.co.uk/comi.htm
 

               "William granted the Norman, Simon de Senlis, the Earldom of Northampton and he was charged with building a new castle which would enclose the expanding town with new walls. The new castle must have been an impressive sight, the new walls enclosed 250 acres, a large area only exceeded at that time by the City of London, Norwich and the equal of York. In 1089 Simon accompanied by William Rufus, William’s son, embarked from England on the first crusade. On his return Simon built the church of the Holy Sepulchre modelled on that of the same name in Jerusalem."

               "After Waltheof’s execution,  Judith’s elder daughter, Maud was made the heiress of her father’s immense Midlands possessions and these were passed to Maud’s husband, Simon de Senlis, a cadet of the great house of Vermandois (the house of Vermandois was sprung from Charlemagne’s second son Pepin). Simon de Senlis died in 1111 and Maud, his widow, took as her second husband Malcolm Canmore’s youngest son, David and when he ascended the Scottish throne in 1124 as David I, Maud went north with him as his queen,- followed, inevitably, by a large retinue of her Flemish kinsmen."

"Waltheof married Judith, the daughter of Lambert Count of Lens. They had a daughter and heir,no son(s), called Matilda (Maud) who first married Simon De Senlis. He in her right became Earl of both Northampton and Huntinghton. On Simon's death in 1111 Matilda married David of Scotland and he became Earl of Huntington."

20-37 Ivo (Ives) GRENTEMESNIL, son of Hugh Grentemesnil and Adeliza de Beaumont,was born about 1064 in Grentemesnil, Calvados, France. He died on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1118. He married Felia de GAUNT about 1094 in Leicestershire, England.
 

               "Orderic Vital gives the following account of the mode by which he obtained the earldom: - "The town of Leicester had four masters - the King, the Bishop of Lincoln, Earl Simon" (Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon), "and Ivo, the son of Hugh" (de Grentmesnil). The latter had been heavily fined for turbulent conduct, and was in disgrace at Court. He was also galled by being nicknamed "the Rope-dancer," having been one of those who had been let down by ropes from the walls of Antioch. He therefore had resolved to rejoin the Crusade, and made an agreement with the Count of Meulent to the following effect - The Count was to procure his reconciliation with the King, and to advance him five hundred silver marks for the expenses of his expedition, having the whole of Ivo's domains pledged to him as a security for fifteen years. In consideration of this, the Count was to give the daughter of his brother Henry, Earl of Warwick, in marriage to Ivo's son, who was yet in his infancy, and to restore him his father's inheritance. This contract was confirmed by oath, and ratified by the King, but Ivo died on his road to the Holy Land, and Robert de Meulent, by royal favour and his own address, contrived to get the whole of Leicester into his own hands, and being in consequence created an English earl, his wealth and power surpassed those of any other peer of the realm, and he was exalted above nearly all his family."

20-41 Fergus, Lord Of GALLOWAY was born about 1090 in Galloway, Scotland. He died in 1161 in Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, Edinburghshire, Scotland. He was buried on 12 May 1161 in Holyrood Abbey, Edinburgh, Edinburghshire, Scotland. He married Elizabeth, Princess Of ENGLAND about 1124 in Carrick, Ayrshire, Scotland.
 

               "Fergus, the Lord of Galloway had two sons Uchtred, the lord of Galloway, who was killed in 1174 and Gilbert who died in 1185. On the death of Uchtred the title of Lord of Galloway passed to Gilbert who died in 1185."

               "Those were troublous times in Galloway. In 1096 the inhabitants were just emerging from the galling yoke of the ruthless Norsemen. Edgar had ascended the Scottish throne, and he was succeeded in 1107 by his brother Alexander, but when Edgar died he divided up the Scottish Kingdom. To his younger brother, David, he left the whole of the district south of the Firth of Forth, except the Lothians. David took up his residence at Carlisle, and assumed the title of Earl. The accession of David as supreme ruler of Galloway is important, because it was during his regime that we find, for the first time, the official name “ Galloway “ applied to our ancient province.
 

               Fergus was one of David’s favourite companions and courtiers, which is amply proved by his witnessing many of the King’s charters. He was also a “persona grata “ at the English Court, so much so that he married the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Henry I., and thus became allied to English Royalty. And, as King Henry I. of England married David’s sister, Fergus was thus also by marriage allied to the Scottish King. By Elizabeth he had two sons and one daughter—viz., Uchtred and Gilbert, and Affrica.
 

               In 1135 Henry I., the King of England, died, and David I. invaded England in support of the cause of his niece, Matilda, who was the daughter of the English King. This invasion culminated in the great Battle of the Standard. They met the English army on Catton Moor, near Northallerton, in 1138, and here the desperate and decisive battle was fought, called the “ Battle of the Standard.” The Galwegians claimed the honour of leading the van, notwithstanding the opposition of the King and his advisers. “ They commenced the attack,” says Hailes, “by rushing in a wedge-like shape on the enemy, with savage vociferations, loud yells, and infuriated valour.” Hovedon says that “their war-cry was Albanich Albanich !” to which the English retorted Vry ! Vry ! meaning the opprobrious epithet, “Irish !’’ The onset was appalling, and they broke through the ranks of the spearmen, but after the battle had raged for nearly two hours they were reduced to a state of utter confusion. Both their chiefs, Ulric and Dunvenald, were slain. The English were victorious, and peace was concluded in 1139.  Fergus seems not to have been at this battle, which shows that he had riot yet been appointed ruler of Galloway, nor even a hereditary prince, or he would have led the Gallovidian contingent. It was about this time, however, that he once more made friends with the King, and was appointed Lord of Galloway in succession to Ulric and Dunvenald.
 

               In the History of the Priory of St. Mary’s erected on the Isle of Trahil, i.e., St. Mary’s Isle, Kirkcudbright :—  “ Fergus, Earl and lord of Galloway, having failed in his duty to His Majesty, and committed a grievous fault, at which the King, evidently very angry, determined to put the law in force vigorously against him. At last, in a change of habit, he repaired to Alwyn, the Abbot of the Monastry of Holyrood, the King’s Confessor and confidential secretary, for advice and assistance. The Abbot compassionating him, contrived that Fergus should assume the habit of a Canon Regular, and thus, God directing, should, along with his brethren, obtain the King’s pardon for his offence, through supplication under a religious habit.’’ The ruse was successful, and he not only obtained the King’s pardon, but also “ The Kiss of Peace." The King and he, therefore, became reconciled.
 

               Fergus was now supreme ruler of Galloway, and resided at his Castle or Palace of Lochfergus. For many years he devoted his time and attention to the founding of religious houses. During the subsequent part of the reign of David there is nothing of importance to chronicle regarding Fergus or Lochfergus. David died in 1153, and was succeeded by his grandson Malcolm IV., then a minor. He was the first King who was crowned at Scone.
 

               Somerled and several others of the northern chiefs were dissatisfied with the succession, and taking advantage of the extreme youth of the King, and the distracted councils which prevailed at Court, rose in insurrection, and put forward a son of the former Pretender, M’Eth. Fergus at first did not join them, because we find that he seized the claimant Donald when he sought sanctuary at Whithorn, and sent him to prison at Roxburgh, where his father, the elder M’Eth, was also confined. However, the English King Henry II. having persuaded Malcolm to resign that part of his territory south of the Tweed and go to France to assist him in fighting his battles there, the Gallovidians refused to have an English King to reign over them, so they, under Fergus, joined Somerled. The young Scottish King hurried home, and took up arms to chastise the Gallovidians, but the impenetrable forests, the treacherous morasses, and the rugged hills of Galloway were practically inaccessible, except to those who knew them intimately. Twice Malcolm entered Galloway, but had to retire beaten and discomfited. The third time, however, he doubled his forces, and by this means, in addition to propitiating some of the rebels, he prevailed, and Somerled became reconciled.
 

               Fergus, thus deserted by his former friends, resigned the Lordship of Galloway, or what is more probable, deprived of his office, and retired once more to the Abbey of Holyrood, where he became a Canon Regular, and it is said ended his days in the following year through grief and sorrow. Before he died, however, he bestowed on Holyrood Abbey the village and church of Dunrodden (Dunrod, near Kirkcudbright). There seems little doubt that Fergus was a wise and beneficent ruler, and that Galloway made great progress under his sway.

20-43 Waltheof, Earl Of DUNBAR, son of Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland and Aethelreda, Princess of England, was born about 1062 in Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. He died in 1138. He married Sigrid (Sigarith) in about 1138.
 

                "Waltheof was an important Anglian leader from Northampton in Northumberland who due to his young age was superceeded as leader of the English by Harold Godwinson of Wessex whose son  led the English at the Battle of Hastings. Waltheof was later defeated by William I of England. The "Harrying of the North" between Tyne and Tees removed this warriors' army from contention when every male over the age of 15 was butchered for rebelling against the Norman invaders. Was this the origin for the Robin Hood dispossession of Munday's "Earl of Huntington", for Waltheof would appear to have been the Anglian Earl of Huntington in Yorkshire."

               "William, Lord of Copeland, divided his grant into two parts and gave that lying between the Derwent and the Cocker, which included the Five Towns of Dean, Brigham, Eaglesfield, Greysouthen and Clifton, to Waltheof, Son of Gospatric, Earl of Dunbar. This was the Gospatric who had been appointed Earl of Northumberland by the Conqueror was shortly afterwards expelled by him from that office and on his flight to Scotland was created by King Malcolm, Earl of Dunbar. The grant was henceforth known as the Barony of Cockermouth or the Honour of Cockermouth."

               "Olaf, who succeeded Lagman, was a minor, when King Magnus Barefoot raided Man and the Hebrides. He is variously known as Olaf Klining or Bitling from his small stature or florid complexion. He reigned for some 50 years and brought a long period of peace to the Isles by keeping on good terms with the Kings of Norway, Scotland, England and Ireland. He married Ingibiorg, daughter of Earl Hakon of Orkney by whom he had one son, Godred the Black. Some chroniclers also state that he married Elfrica, daughter of Fergus, Lord of Galloway. He had several illegitimate sons and many daughters, one of whom, Ragnhildis (Raghnaid), married Somerled MacGhillebrighde, regulus of Argyle and progenitor of the great Clan Donald, later to be Lords of the Isles. "Olaf Bitling sailed to Norway at the end of his reign to pay his 'scat' of 10 marks of gold to his superior. In consequence, he was ceremoniously crowned at Trondheim and left his son Godred to be educated in Norway. On his return to Man, he found that the sons of his deceased brother Harold were conspiring to overthrow him. On the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, 1153, Olaf arranged a meeting with the conspirators to consider their claims. Unfortunately Reginald, son of Harold, took advantage of the opportunity to dispatch his uncle with an axe."

This family originated from Bohon in the arrondissement of St. Lo in the Cotentin, Normandy, where there still exists St. Andre and St. Georges de Bohon. The mound of the old castle is still visible. Humphrey is reported in the chronicles of Wace as the companion of the Conqueror at Senlac. He is reputed to have been a near kinsman of Duke William, but how or in what degree is unknown.

20-61 Malcolm III "Ceanmor (Longneck)", King Of SCOTLAND, son of Duncan I, King of Scotland and Sibyl Fitzsiward, was born about 1033 in Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland.

               "Malcolm was the son of Duncan I who was killed by Macbeth in 1040. He found safe haven in Northumbria and the support of its ruler Earl Siward, who led an army against Macbeth in 1054. Siward and Malcolm defeated Macbeth at the battle of Dunsinnan but although Malcolm's lands were restored to him, he did not dislodge Macbeth from the throne. It wasn't until three years later, on 15 August 1057 at the battle of Lumphanan, that Malcolm again defeated Macbeth. But it was Lulach, Macbeth's stepson and cousin who became king. After less than four months however, Malcolm had Lulach killed and replaced him on the Scottish throne. He submitted to William I, king of England in 1072. In 1078 he defeated Lulach's son Mael Snechta. His oath to William didn't prevent him from raiding Northumbria on a regular basis and it was while on such a raid, in August 1093, that he laid the foundation stone of Durham cathedral. He was killed two months later while raiding the border town of Alnwick."

               "Margaret introduced English customs and language into the Scottish court and church procedures but she never learned Gaelic, which was spoken by a substantial number of Scots at that time. Her son, King David I, built a small church within Edinburgh Castle dedicated to her memory. St Margaret's Chapel is now the oldest building in the castle."
 

               http://www.rampantscotland.com/famous/blfamcanmore.htm
 

               "Margaret had a strong influence over her husband, who revered her piety and secretly had jewel-encrusted bindings made for her religious books, which he himself was unable to read, never having learned to do so. He also substituted Saxon for Gaelic as the court language. According to Margaret's biographer, she corresponded with Lanfranc, Archbishop of Canterbury, brought Benedictine monks to Dunfermline and did away with local usages in the Scottish Church. Margaret also began building what was later to be known as St Margaret's Chapel, situated on the highest part of Edinburgh Castle."
 

               http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page98.asp
 

               "Margaret had planned on becoming a nun and devoting her life to the Christian faith, but fate stepped in, bringing with it, her marriage to King Malcolm of Scotland at the age of 24. He was a brute and tyrant and she, a pious, good, loving woman. It is rumored that Margaret actually converted her husband into a new man; at least a charitable man. Through her life as Queen, Margaret inspired a return to Christian observances. She taught priests to live simply without wealth and to devote their whole lives to Christianity. She declared Sunday a day of worship, donated money and land to the poor, and built churches and monasteries. One of which is the chapel in Edinburgh Castle, now the oldest standing church in Scotland. "Queen Margaret was a virtuous woman, and in the sight of God she showed herself to be a pearl, precious in faith and works." - Turgot, Margaret's confessor and friend."

20-63 Waltheof, Earl of NORTHUMBERLAND, son of Siward Biornsson and Aelfled of Bernicia, was born about 1046 in Northumberland, England. He died on 31 May 1076. He was buried in Jun 1076 in Crowland, Lincolnshire, England. He married Judith of BOULOGNE in 1070 in Artois, France.
 

               "In 1066 when William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England, the manor of Hallam was owned by Waltheof, the Anglo-Saxon Earl of Northumberland. His father was Siward, who, as Earl of Northumberland before him, had defeated Macbeth at the battle of Dunsinane in 1054. In 1075 Waltheof, Ralph de Waer and other nobles plotted to drive William from the Kingdom. The plan failed and, according the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Waltheof escaped overseas but later chose to return. He was captured and beheaded at Winchester in 1076. He was the only Englishman William ever executed. His body was buried in the Abbey of Crowland, Lincolnshire. At his death, the possession of the Manor of Hallam was allowed to pass to his widow, Countess Judith, niece to William the Conqueror, with Roger the Busli as the principal tenant."
 

               http://www.sheffieldmarkets.co.uk/pages/history/waltheof.htm
 

               "Judith was the wife of Waltheof, the only surviving son of the Danish lord Siward, who was made Earl of Northumberland by King Canute. His father died when he was very young but about the year 1065 he was made Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton by Edward the Confessor. He did not take part in the Battle of Hastings but he afterwards fought valiantly against the Normans. He joined the Danes when they attacked York in 1069 and the Norse sagas credit him with killing a hundred of the followers of William the Conqueror. The following year he submitted to William. He took the oath of fealty to the king who restored his titles and lands and married him to Judith, the daughter of his sister Adelaide. Two years later he was made Earl of Northumberland. In 1075 Waltheof was implicated in a plot against William and after trial he was executed as a traitor under the old English law at St Giles Hill in Winchester on 15 May 1076."

20-64 Judith of BOULOGNE, daughter of Lambert of Boulogne, Count of Lens, and Adelaide de Normandie, was born in 1054/1055 in Lens, Artois, France.
 

               "As she had not taken part in the conspiracy his widow, the Countess Judith, inherited Waltheof's titles and lands including the manor of Yardley which contained Grendon, Brafield, Denton, Hackleton, Hardiningstone, Horton, Quinton, Whiston and Wollaston. She held three hides and two virgates in Grendon. (A virgate was a measure of land which, like the hide, varied in extent but averaged about 30 acres.) The arable land she owned in the village was nine carucates (each carucate was about half a virgate) which were looked after by twelve sokemen, or free farmers. There were also three mills, which paid a yearly rent of three shillings, and 30 acres of meadow.
 

               Judith's contemporaries accused her of having betrayed her husband in order to marry somebody else and Ingulphus, a monk of Crowland, termed her impiisima Jezebel (ungodly Jezebel)! William the Conqueror then tried to marry her to Simon de St Liz, but as he was not the man of her choice she refused to do so. Annoyed at this, the king took her titles and lands away and gave them to her daughter Maud, who did marry Simon. After the death of Simon shortly after, Maud married the Scottish prince David in 1113. David thus became Earl of Huntingdon through his marriage before he ascended the throne of Scotland as David I in 1124."

He became the count of Anjou in 1109, and considerably added to the prestige of his house. In particular he showed himself a doughty opponent to Henry I. of England, against whom he continually supported Louis VI. of France, until in 1127 Henry won him over by betrothing his daughter Matilda to Fulk’s son Geoffrey Plantagenet.

 

               Already in 1120 Fulk had visited the Holy Land, and become a close friend of the Templars. On his return he assigned to the, order of the Templars an annual subsidy, while he also maintained two knights in the Holy Land for a year. In 1128 he was preparing to return to the East, when he received an embassy from Baldwin II., king of Jerusalem, who had no male heir to succeed him, offering his daughter Melisinda in marriage, with the right of eventual succession to the kingdom. Fulk readily accepted the offer; and in 1129 he came and was married to Melisinda, receiving the towns of Acre and Tyre as her dower.

 

               In 1131, at the age of thirty-nine, he became king of Jerusalem. His reign is not marked by any considerable events; the kingdom which had reached its zenith under Baldwin II., and did not begin to decline till the capture of Edessa in the reign of Baldwin III., was quietly prosperous under his rule. In the beginning of his reign he had to act as regent of Antioch, and to provide a husband, Raymund of Poitou, for the infant heiress Constance. The great problem with which he had to deal was the progress of the atabeg Zengi of Mosul. In 1137 he was beaten near Barin, and escaping into the fort was surrounded and forced to capitulate.

 

               A little later, however, he greatly improved his position by strengthening his alliance with the vizier of Damascus, who also had to fear the progress of Zengi (1140); and in this way he was able to capture the fort of Banias, to the N. of Lake Tiberias. Fulk also strengthened the kingdom on the south; while his butler, Paganus, planted the fortress of Krak to the south of the Dead Sea, and helped to give the kingdom an access towards the Red Sea, he himself constructed Blanche Garde and Other forts on the SW. to overawe the garrison of Ascalon, which was still held by the Mahommedans, and to clear the road towards Egypt.

 

               Twice in Fulk’s reign the eastern emperor, John Comnenus, appeared in northern Syria (1137 and 1142); but his coming did not affect the king, who was able to decline politely a visit which the emperor proposed to make to Jerusalem. In 1143 he died, leaving two sons, who both became kings, as Baldwin III. and Amalric I. Fulk continued the tradition of good statesmanship and sound churchmanship which Baldwin I. and Baldwin II. had begun. William of Tyre speaks of him as a fine soldier, an able politician, and a good son of the church, and only blames him for partiality to his friends, and a forgetfulness of names and faces, which placed him at a disadvantage and made him too dependent on his immediate intimates. Little, perhaps, need be made of these censures; the real fault of Fulk was his neglect to envisage the needs of the northern principalities, and to head a combined resistance to the rising power of Zengi of Mosul."

               "The story went that William Talvas, lord of Belleme, one of the fiercest of his race, had cursed William in his cradle, as one by whom he and his should be brought to shame.  Such a tale set forth the noblest side of William's character, as the man who did something to put down such enemies of mankind as he who cursed him.  The possessions of William Talvas passed through his daughter Mabel to Roger of Montgomery, a man who plays a great part in William's history"

20-99 Ernulf de HESDIN was born about 1038 in Hesdin, France.

 

               "Before the Conquest the manor of Keevil was held by Brixi, who held other manors in Somerset and Dorset. It was granted after 1066 to Ernulf of Hesdin, one of William's chief followers, who held land in ten counties, and he held in in 1086. It has been suggested that he forfeited his lands because of his complicity in the rising of 1093; certainly a large part of his fief passed to Patrick de Chaworth, who is said to have married his daughter, but Keevil, with some other manors, passed to a second Ernulf of Hesdin, son of the first, who held it in 1130. He was executed in 1138;  a third Ernulf of Hesdin witnessed a charter in 1141, and quite possibly held Keevil in his turn."

               "After the Conquest, Wit's lands went to the Norman Ernulf de Hesdin, whose estates were broken up when he rebelled against William Rufus and then left the country to join the First Crusade at the end of the 11th century."

               "Of Roger, Count de Beaumont, it is unanimously recorded that he was the noblest, the wealthiest, and the most valiant seigneur of Normandy, and the greatest and most trusted friend of the Danish family. Son of Humphrey de Vielles, and grandson of Thorold de Pontaudemer, a descendant of the Kings of Denmark, through Bernard the Dane, a companion of the first Norman Conqueror, Duke Rollo, illustrious as was such as origin in the eyes of his countrymen, he considered his alliance with Adelina, Countess of Meulent, sufficiently honorable and important to induce him to adopt the title of her family in preference to that of his own."

               "The King retained direct control of most of the strategically important holdings and wealthy lands. His most favoured benefactor was the Count of Meulan(Roger de Beaumont). Roger (sometimes the records in England show him as Robert but this may be a confusion between the son Robert with his father who actually held the lands) de Beaumont was the most powerful seignior in Normandy. His Chief domain in Normandy was Beaumont le Roger. He adopted the title Count of Meulan from Adelina, his wife's family. He received 90 manors in Warwick, Leicester, Wiltshire and Northampton. There is dispute whether he, Roger, was at Hastings, he was old at the time, but he contributed 60 ships to the invasion force. He was represented by the young Robert, his son, at the Battle of Hastings. Robert(Roger) held a total of 57 manors in Warwick at the Domesday survey. His Chief domain in England was Sturminster Marshal in Dorset. He shared with the King the great power in Warwickshire."
