RALPH DE TOENI VI, 1st son and heir, was born probably in 1189 or 1190.In 1204, with his father and brother or brothers, he was excluded by theKing of France from the terms of the pacification in Normandy. King Johnordered the manors of Saham and Ryhcot to be restored to him, 5 November1213; and he was with the King at Partenay, in Poitou, 26 May 1214.Presumably he supported John in the civil war, for on 7 April 1216 theKing granted him the lands which had been held by Richard de Montfichetin Essex, Bucks, Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk and Hunts; but soonafterwards he must have joined the rebellious barons, for John orderedthe sheriff of co. Worcester, 16 July 1216, to give Robert de Mortimerseisin of the land of Abberley, held by Ralph, and on 5 Septemberfollowing he gave the manor of Flamstead to Waleran Tyes. By Henry IIIRalph was granted the manor of Newport, Essex, during pleasure, 27 June1218. Shortly before 20 September 1233 he was given the custody of MaudCastle (Painscastle, co.

On 11 March 1233/4 hewas ordered to keep the truce with Llewellyn until 25 July; with othernobles he was forbidden, 2 September 1234, to go to tournaments arrangedat Northampton, Cambridge or elsewhere; and he was summoned, 7 March1237/8, with other barons of the Welsh marches, to be at Oxford afterEaster to confer with the King. In 1239 he took the Cross and set out forthe Holy Land. He is said to have founded a monastery in the west ofEngland.

He m., between November 1232 and 1234, Pernel, daughter of Walter DE LACY(elder brother of Hugh, Earl of Ulster), presumably by his wife Margaret,daughter of William DE BRIOUZE.

[Burke's Peerage]

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

ROGER DE TOENI IV, styled also DE CONCHES, son and heir, was only alittle boy at his father's death, and took no part in affairs until afterthe accession of Richard I. On 25 November 1189 he was with the King atWestminster; on 6 December at Dover; and doubtless he crossed to Calaiswith Richard on 12 December. On 2 January 1189/90 at Verneuil Roger deToeny and Gilbert Crespin of Tillières in the King's presence made giftsto St. Evroul; and as they were about to leave for Jerusalem and had nottheir seals with them, the King at their request confirmed the agreementwith his own seal. Roger with his brothers and kinsfolk called 'deCornebu' [sic, recte Tornebu] reached Acre about 8 June 1191. On 7September 1191 he distinguished himself in Richard's victory at Arsuf. Hewas with the King at Jaffa (Joppa) on 10 January 1191/2; and in June hefought in the battle when Richard captured the Saracen convoy atEl-Khuweilfe. His subsequent movements are obscure, but on 6 January1193/4 he was with the King at Speyer. At Michaelmas 1196 he owed 40 s.for his scutage for the King's ransom, 40 s. for the 2nd scutage for thearmy of Normandy and 40 s. for the 3rd scutage for the army of Normandyafter the King's return from Germany. In June or July 1197 he was one ofthose who swore at Les Andelys on behalf of Richard to observe the treatywith the Count of Flanders. At Michaelmas 1198 he owed £272 in Normandyfor the balance of the tallage on his land there for the King's ransom,as well as other sums. On 7 April 1199 (the day after Richard's death) hewas at Le Vaudreuil with the Archbishop of Canterbury and other magnates.In the new reign he continued to enjoy royal favour and was faithful toJohn. On 15 and 18 August 1199 at Les Andelys he was one of John'ssureties who swore to observe his treaties with the Count of Boulogne andthe Count of Flanders. On 22 September 1199 the King granted him at LeMans the manor of Saham (Norf.), for 140 librates of land which he owedhim for his homage when he (John) was Count of Mortain. In May 1200 hewas one of the sureties who were named in the treaty with France and gavebonds to Philip. He then recovered his castle of Conches, which had beentaken by the King of France in September 1199. On 5 February 1202/3 atRouen John remitted £200 which Roger owed for the balance of tallage onhis land for King Richard's ransom and £100 which Richard had lent himfor fortifying his house at Tosni. In 1203 the King of France recapturedhis castle of Tosni; and in 1204 Roger finally lost all his Norman lands,being one of those excluded by Philip from the terms of the pacification.In England he continued to attest royal charters until his death and toenjoy royal favour. On 27 March 1204 the King at Windsor granted him landto the value of £76 and 15 pence at St. Botulf and a fair; on 9 November30 librates of land in Norfolk; and on 30 November 30 librates in Devon.On 7 December 1205 Walter de Clifford was ordered to restore the castleof Boskeret to Roger. At Michaelmas 1208 he rendered account for 10 marksfor the diversion of a road which passed through the middle of the courtof the canons of Westacre. Together with William, Earl of Salisbury, hebecame a surety for John de Mohun, later than Michaelmas 1208. He foundedthe little nunnery of St. Giles in the Wood, near Flamstead.

He married Constance, daughter of Richard DE BEAUMONT, SEIGNEUR OFBEAUMONT-LE-VICOMTE, FRESNAY AND STE-SUZANNE, hereditary vicomte of Maine(usually styled VICOMTE DE BEAUMONT). Constance, whose sister Ermengardmarried William the Lion, King of Scotland, brought her husband in freemarriage the manor of Ailrichescot (South Tawton) in Devon, which Henry Ihad given in free marriage with her grandmother, his illegitimatedaughter Constance, to Roscelin de Beaumont, styled Vicomte de Beaumont.She seems to have possessed considerable influence and to have enjoyedfavour with John; but the King of France confiscated her Norman lands.Roger was living, 29 December 1208, but died shortly afterwards, probablyin January 1208/9. His widow had Stratfield restored to her after hisdeath. She was living in 1226 across the seas. [Complete PeerageXII/1:765-9, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

In May1138 he was attacked by the Count of Meulan and William d'Ypres, butdefended himself successfully; and on 7 September he captured Breteuiland burnt the town. However, before the end of 1138 he made peace withthe twin Earls, who conducted him to England, where he was reconciled toKing Stephen. Nothing is known of what happened to his English landsduring this period. In 1150 or 1151 he was with Henry, Duke of Normandy,at Rouen. After Henry had become King, Roger enjoyed the royal favour;for between Michaelmas 1157 and Michaelmas 1158 the King granted him 100solidates of land at Holkham, Norfolk. He was a benefactor to the abbeysof la Noë, Conches and Bec.

He married Ida, daughter of BALDWIN III, COUNT OF HAINAULT, by Yolande,daughter of Gerard, COUNT OF GUELDERS. With her he had in marriage fromHenry 120 librates of land out of the royal demesne at East Bergholt,Suffolk. He died after Michaelmas 1157 and probably before 1162.[Complete Peerage XII/1:763-4, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Roger de Toeni [the third of that name, or III] was born ca. 1104, anddied after Michaelmas 1157, presumably before his son died in 1162. Hemarried Ida of Hainault, daughter of Baldwin III, Count of Hainault, byhis wife Yolande de Guelders. It is not known when Ida died, but shepresumably survived him, as Henry II granted her [Ida de Tounay] land atGarsington, co. Oxford [Rot. Hund.].

This couple had four known sons:
(1) Ralph de Toeni [V], who succeeded his father and died 1262/3, havingmarried Margaret de Beaumont.
(2) Roger de Toeni, Jr., dead by 1185, when his wife Ade/Alda de Chaumontwas holding land at Holkington, co. Norfolk, of her son Baldwin de Toeni[II] (1170-1216), Seigneur de Acquigny, apparently father of Roger deAkeny and Sir William Dakeny [Acquigny]. The Rotuli de Dominabus statesthat Ade/Alda was born about 1155, and that she had five daughters asidefrom her son Baldwin. [Does anyone have any Dakeny ancestry?]
(3) Baldwin de Toeni, who settled in Hainault [having resided with hisuncle Baldwin IV], where he died in 1170, leaving issue.
(4) Geoffrey de Toeni, a cleric who flourished 1157-62, 1177.


Two daughters have also been mentioned before:

1) Goda (c1136-) m Walchieline de Ferrers

2)Godeheut de Toeni (-<1186) m William de Mohun (<1143-1176); Of Dunster;s

Hugh de Lacy , Lord of Meath1,2

M, b. circa 1125, d. 25 July 1186
     Hugh de Lacy , Lord of Meath was buried at Bective Abbey, Meath, Ireland (body), Dublin, Ireland. He married Rohese (Rose) de Monmouth, daughter of Baderon (Badeion) de Monmouth and Rohesia de Clare.2 Hugh de Lacy , Lord of Meath was born circa 1125 at Ewias Lacy, Herefordshire, England. He was the son of Gilbert I de Lacy , of Hereford and Agnes (?) Hugh de Lacy , Lord of Meath married an unknown person before 1181.3 He died on 25 July 1186 at Durrow, Ireland.1,2
     He In 1272, Hugh de Lacy was granted the Liberty of Meath by Henry II whosought to limit the expansionist policies of Strongbow [Richard deClare], whom he feared might set up an independent Anglo-Norman kingdomin Ireland. Soon after his arrival at Trim, de Lacy built a woodencastle, the spike stockade mentioned in the 'Song of Dermot and theEarl'--a poem of the period.

De Lacy left one of his barons, Hugh Tyrell, in charge, but whenO'Connor, King of Connacht, threatened, Tyrell abandoned and burned thecastle. By 1176, this wooden fortification had been replaced with astone keep or tower. When the site was secure, the castle yard wassurrounded by curtain walls and moat with a simple gate and bridge to thenorth. Analyses of samples of surviving structural timbers show that thekeep was extended in at least two more phases and remodelled in thelifetime of Walter de Lacy, Hugh's son. Later, fore-buildings were builtto protect the entrance to the keep. [Trim Castle Visitors Guide,Duchas--The Heritage Service of Ireland]

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

Hugh was killed in Durrow while overseeing the building of a smallercastle. A man, who had gotten close to Hugh pulled an axe from under hiscloak and lopped Hugh's head off. His body was buried at the BectiveAbbey about 8 kms. from Trim Castle while his head was buried near his1st wife in Dublin. The Cistercian Monks of Bective Abbey had hopes thatthe possession of Hugh's body would give them rights to Trim Castle andthe extensive lands associated with it. However the king took the castleand lands until Walter came of age, at which time Richard I gave them toWalter.

rebelled against half-brother, Richard II, and was imprisoned at Rouen.After escaping, he submitted to the Duke, was pardoned, and was given thecomte of Eu, of which his nephew, Gilbert (ancestor of the family ofClare) had been recently deprived. [Ref: CP V:151] Note: CP has (Ibelieve) confused the chronology. It was William’s brotherGodfrey/Godfroi who rebelled & was deprived of Eu. Godfrey’s son(William's nephew) Gilbert/Giselbert ‘Crispin’ did assume the land andtitle when William died, but he was assassinated in 1040. Note: Gilbert’sdate of death from Altschul, ES III:156, Wagner, Watney & Wurts who allsay either 1040 or thereabouts seems to confirm the date of death ofWilliam per ES III:693 as shortly bef. 1040… Curt

When Godfrey was deprived, Eu was awarded to his brother William, whohad been Count of Heimois. [Ref: TAF 28 Mar 2001]

Regards,
Curt

Note: In terms of the death date, I will keep the one I have becauseGilbert (who I have as his son-in-law) became Count of Eu and d. 1040; soWilliam had to have died at least a year or two before 1040.

     Ralph (Raoul) Comte d' Ivry The following information was contained in a post-em from Curt Hofemann:

Count d'Ivry [Ref: Tompsett, Wm Conqueror]
half-brother: Richard I Duke of Normandy [Ref: ES III:694A]

...Richard the Fearless' mother, Espriota, married, in the troubloustimes of his boyhood, a rich countryman called Sperling. They had a soncalled Raoul of Ivry, who seems to have been high in power and favor withthe second Richard, his half-brother... [Ref: The Normans by Sarah OrneJewett, Chapter V, DUKE RICHARD THE GOODhttp://www.public.coe.edu/~theller/soj/nor/nor05.html]

Douglas mentions a 'half' brother of Richard, who assumed the title ofcount between 1006 and 1011. p.89 A clearer example of the acquisitionby a feudal family of lands which had earlier been part of the ducaldemesne, can be seen in the descent of the possessions of Count Rudolf,half-brother to Duke Richard I. Among the lands held by this man wereestates situated on the Risle near Saint Philibert; estates on the Eure,including Concherel, Jouy, and, it would seem, Pacy; lands dependent onBreteuil; and lands centred on Ivry. Many of these lands, particularlythose on the Eure, were inextricably intermingled with the earliestdemesne of the Norman duke and must have come to Rudulf through hisstepfather or his half-brother. Their subsequent devolution is thus ofparticular interest. Part of Ivry lands went to the count's eldest sonHugh, bishop of Bayeux, while the barony of Saint Philibert passedthrough the count's second son, John bishop of Avranches, to thatcathedral church. But the larger part of Rudolf's possessions, includingthe honour of Pacy and the district honour of Breteuil, descended throughthe count's daughter, Emma, to her husband Osbern, the steward of DukeRobert I, and one of the guardians of the infant William. [Ref note: theprevious URL of the online source of this is no longer valid & agoogle.com search did not show a new URL ... Curt 01/01/03]

The ducal family of Normandy early determined to have an historiographerwhom they sought in France, one Dudon, dean of the chapter of St.Quentin, who between 1015-30 wrote in Latin half verse, half prose, ahistory of the family according to the traditions and accountstransmitted to him by Raoul, Count of Ivry grandson of Rollo and brotherof Richard I Alinea.

     Herfast (Arfastus) de Crepon The following is excerpted (full post is in notes under father) from apost to SGM, 3 Dec 1996, by Todd Farmerie:

From: Todd A. Farmerie (taf2 AT po.cwru.edu)
Subject: Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 1996/12/03

The only known brother of Gunnor was Arfast/Herfast, of whom we gain whatlittle insight we have from a trial of heretics conducted by Robert II.Arfast testified that he had pretended to join the sect, all the betterto denounce them when the time arose. He later donated lands to themonastery of St. Pere, to which he retired. He had at least two sons:Osbern, who was steward to the later Dukes, and was murdered by Williamde Montgomery while defending the young Duke William; and Ranulf, knownfrom charters. Osbern maried a niece of Richard I (the daughter of hishalf-brother) and by her was the father of the Conquest baron WilliamFitz Osbern.

Note: William de Montgomery was great grandson of Senfria 'not' de Crepon.
