Dear Newsgroup ~

Gerald Paget's Baronage (388:1) gives the following information regardingHugh de Mortimer, of Chelmarsh:

HUGH DE MORTIMER, youngest son of Ralph de Mortimer of Wigmore, by Gladyshis wife, daughter of Llewellyn Prince of Wales.(Pat. 39 Hen. 3. p.2.m6). He adhered to Henry III against the Barons, and having lost threegood horses at the siege of Kenilworth Castle, had a grant of 40 marks torecompense him.(Rot.Fin.50 Hen. 3.m 1). Sheriff of Salop and Staffs1272-3.(Rot. Pip.1 Edw.1).

He married shortly after 24th July 1255, Agatha de Ferrers, 6th daughterof William Earl of Derby, and one of the seven coheirs of her motherSybil, sister and coheir of Walter Marshall Earl of Pembroke.(Pat.39 Hen.3 p 2.m 6; Mon. Ang. I:727a a 20). By her he had issue,

I. HENRY, son and heir, born about 1266 (being 40 years of age athis mother's death).

II. HUGH, living 14th April 1300, when he was commissioned by hismother to sue for her purparty of the Marshal lands in Ireland.(Cl.28Edw.I.m 101).

Hugh de Mortimer (husband of Agatha) died shortly before 23rd June 1273,when his kinsman Ralph son of Roger de Mortimer of Wigmore was appointedSheriff of Salop and Staffs in his place (Rot.Fin.1 Edw.1.m 25). Hiswidow who inherited a seventh of of fourth part of the large estates ofthe Marshals, including a sixth of Luton, Beds., a seventh ofSturminster-Marshal, Dorset, and lands in Wexford, Kildare and Kilkenny,died shortly before 12th June 1306.(Esch.34 Edw.I. no 38).

As we can see, the chronology here is fine for Hugh de Mortimer and hiswife, Agatha de Ferrers, to be the parents of Iseult de Audley, who Ijudge was born say 1260/5. It doesn't work at all for Iseult to be thedaughter of Hugh de Mortimer's nephew, Edmund de Mortimer, who was bornabout 1252. I might add that Agatha de Ferrers was evidently born in themid to late 1230's.

Henry III Plantagenet King of England1,2

M, b. 1 October 1207, d. 16 November 1272
     Henry III Plantagenet King of England was born on 1 October 1207 at Winchester Castle, Winchester, Hampshire, England.3,2 He married Eleanor Berenger Countess of Provence, Queen of England between 14 January 1236 and 1237 at Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England.3,4 Henry III Plantagenet King of England died on 16 November 1272 at Westminster Palace, London, Middlesex, England, at age 65.3,2 He was buried on 20 November 1272 at Westminster Abby, Westminster, Middlesex, England.5
     He was King of England 1216-1272. He Name Suffix: King of England
Henry III (of England) (1207-72), king of England (1216-72), Duke ofAquitaine, son and successor of King John (Lackland),and a member ofthe house of Anjou, or Plantagenet. Henry ascended the throne at theage of nine, on the death of his
father. During his minority the kingdom was ruled by William Marshal,earl of Pembroke, as regent, but after his death in 1219 the justiciarHubert de Burgh was the chief power in the government. During theregency the French, who occupied much
of eastern England, were expelled,and rebellious barons were subdued.Henry was declared of age in 1227. In 1232 he dismissed Hubert deBurgh from his court and commenced ruling without the aidofministers. Henry displeased the barons by
filling government and church offices with foreign favorites, many ofthem relatives of his wife, Eleanor of Provence, whom he married in1236, and by squandering money on Continental wars, especially inFrance. In order to secure the throne of
Sicily for one of his sons,Henry agreed to pay the pope a large sum.When the king requested money from the barons to pay his debt, theyrefused and in 1258 forced him to agree to the Provisions of Oxford,whereby he agreed to share his power
with a council of barons. Henry soon repudiated his oath, however,with papal approval. After a brief period of war, the matter wasreferred to the arbitration of Louis IX, king of France, who decidedin Henry's favor in a judgment called the
Mise of Amiens (1264). Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester,accordingly led the barons into war, defeated Henry at Lewes, and tookhim prisoner. In 1265, however, Henry's son and heir, Edward, laterKing Edward I, led the royal troops to
victory over the barons at Evesham, about 40.2 km (about 25 mi) southof Birmingham. Simon de Montfort was killed in the battle, and thebarons agreed to a compromise with Edwardand his party in 1267. Fromthat time on Edward ruled England,
and when Henry died, he succeeded him as king.

Reigned 1216-1272. A minor when he took the throne he did not takethe reigns of Government himself until 1234. Baronian. He Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne ofEngland in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war andanarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under thecontrol of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two greatprotectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.

The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomatic ability,saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later hewas dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf;the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the JusticiarHubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henrybecame of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chiefcounsellor.

Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority.Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powerswithout supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar,and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline theannoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quellingrebellions.

Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French kingPhilip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry'smother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with CountHugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English forceset out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do wasmake a demonstration march through Gascony.

Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and hisarrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked aWelsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert wasthrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. Butby 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never takenkindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combinedwith Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King toreplace them.

Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to seewhat sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful onfirst impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let himdown. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of hisnature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. Hehad a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work morethan anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in thehardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator;the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could haveforgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again thathe was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battlewas beyond him.

The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad stateafter the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelledabout tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable,spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. Hepersonally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not waitfor them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousandworkmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done,beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royalhouses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminsterwas 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were allwainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted)and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the picturesvaried according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed abook about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showedRichard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were nopictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangledwith gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barredafter 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of hiswits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barredover) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special roomssprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed.

If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his public displayof piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royalbedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatestproject was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly£50,000---the equivalent of £4,000,000 today. He had been so thrilledwith St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cartand roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build hisown. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As therose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.'

For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughter ofthe Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finest matchin Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the Emperor Frederick II,and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans toelect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans.

On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother'sambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continueneedlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be hisenemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous giftof an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in theTower of London.

In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and hegenerously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out theirorphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they took more,milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments beforebankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, andforeign-ness.

In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---the Popehad always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose hisaid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparateneed for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reforma secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henrymay justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offerof the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was tomeet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall hadalready wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had beenoffered the moon, if he could reach it.

Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. During theperiod of his personal government he obtained what he needed by gettinglegalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaosof the feudal government he had inherited. Government became a secret andcentralised affair, excluding the barons, great and small. There are manycomparisons here with the tyranny of Chales I.

In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henryshould exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission ofenquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crownofficials, examine and reform local government, and supervise the affairsof the realm in general.

This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assess howdeeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced bySimon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in thebaronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wantingto return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue thereformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfortthe radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuablesupport of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.

Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, thoughprone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son,the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry wasrescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'

Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled tohideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobonopersuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, asto allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied, thedisinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, and Richard ofCornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute of Marlboroughembodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and the long years oftrouble were over.

Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that hefininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheel offortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had come round, andall the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.

Note: Although styled 'Earl of Gloucester and Hertford', according to CP,he did not receive full comital rank, for he didn't appear to have hadthe third penny of the county pleas, which the Earls of Gloucester hadreceived for more than 160 years. Moreover the title was in right of hiswife, so he lost the title of Earl at his wife's death.

EARLDOM of ATHOLL (X, 1) 1306

RALPH (DE MONTHERMER), Earl of Gloucester, on whom his father-in-law,Edward I, conferred 12 Oct 1306, the whole of Annandale, with the titleof EARL OF ATHOLL [Scotland]. He, however, for 5,000 marks, resignedsuch title in favour of the son of the late Earl, 24 June 1307.[Complete Peerage, I:306]

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

Ralph de Monthermer, 'a plain Esquire,' having m. the Lady JoanePlantagenet (commonly called Joane of Acre), dau. of King Edward I andwidow of Gilbert, Earl of Clare, Gloucester, and Hertford, in her right,and was summoned to parliament as 'Comiti Gloucester' et Hertf.' from 6February, 1299 to 3 November, 1306. In the 26th Edward I [1298], hislordship was in the expedition then made into Scotland, and behaved sovaliantly that the king rendered to him and his wife, the said Joane, thecastle and honour of Tonebruge with other lands in Kent, Surrey, andSussex, as also the Isle of Portland and divers other estates belongingto the said Joane, which had been seized by the crown in consequence ofher marriage without license with the said Ralph, and the king becameeventually much attached to his son-in-law, to whom he had beenreconciled through the intercession of Anthony Bek, the celebrated bishopof Durham. In the 31st, 32nd, and 34th of his father-in-law [1203, 1304,and 1306], the earl was again in Scotland and in the contest with Bruce.King Edward conferred upon him the whole of Anandale with the title ofEarl of Atholl, the Scottish nobleman who held that dignity havingespoused the fortunes of Bruce, but it was not long after that that Joaneof Acre departed this life (viz., 1st Edward II), and he never,subsequently, obtained the title of Earl of Gloucester and Hertfordalthough he lived for several years; in a grant of considerable landedproperty made to him and his sons in two years afterwards, he is styledRalph de Monthermer only. Nor is he otherwise denominated in the 5thEdward II [1312], at which time, for recompense of his service inScotland, the king gave him 300 marks, part of the 600 marks which he wasto have paid for the wardship of John ap Adam, a great man of that age.Nor in two years afterwards, when again in the wars of Scotland, he wasmade prisoner at Bannockburn, but he then found favour from his formerfamiliarity with the King of Scotland, at the court of England, andobtained his freedom without paying ransom. He was, however, summoned toparliament as a Baron from 4 March, 1309, to 30 October, 1321. Hislordship m. 2ndly, Isabel, widow of John de Hastings, and sister andco-heir of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, by whom he had no issue.By his first wife, the Princess Joane, he had two sons, viz., Thomas, hisheir; Edward, who was summoned to parliament as a Baron, 23 April, 1337,11th Edward III, but never afterwards, and nothing further is known ofhim or his descendants. Ralph, Lord Monthermer, d. 19th Edward II [1326],and was s. by his son, Thomas, Lord Monthermer.

He held several importantposts, v.p., being Warden Of Gloucester, 1312; Capt. of Berwick, 1315;one of the Commissioners to Scotland, 1316; Chief Justiciar of SouthWales 1316, and Seneschal of Aquitaine, 1320. Shortly afterwards hejoined the Earl of Lancaster in the rebellion against Edward II and theDespenser family, and within 6 months of his father's death was sentprisoner to Wallingford Castle, 20 Jan 1321/2, where he d. about a yearafterwards.

He m. 1stly 1289 (neither party being aged over 8), Eve, sister ofWilliam la Zouche (Lord Zouche of Haryngworth), and daughter of Eon laZouche, by Millicent, sister and coheir of George de Cauntelo, Lord ofAbergavenny, daughter of William de Cauntelo, of Calne, co. Wilts andAston Cantlow, co. Warwick. She d. 6 Dec 1314, and was buried inPortbury Church, Somerset. He m. 2ndly, about 1316, Isabel, daughter ofGilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by his 1st wife Alice,daughter of Hugh XI, called le Brun, Sire de Lusignan, Count of la Marcheand Angouleme (uterine brother of Henry III). He d. as aforesaid, 31 May1326 , and was buried at Wallingford, but removed to St. Augustine's,Bristol (c). Inq.p.m. Feb 1326/7. His widow, who was b. 10 Mar 1262/3,dsp 1333. [Complete Peerage II:128-9, XIV:87]

(b) This makes him a father at the age of 14, for which Smyth quotes theBiblical precedents of Solomon and Ahaz, each a father at 11 and of KingJosiah at 14, and adds that his own 'small reading could parallel morethan a dozen other parents which have been Fathers and Mothers at 14years'. The date of birth appears to rest on his being found to be 40years old in 1321 in two inquisitions on his father's death, 'and' saysSmyth 'he best knew his own age that sett it down.' It is however nowrecognised that the age of men in middle life being a matter of littlepractical importance, is seldom given with any degree of accuracy in theinquisitions. His birth (as the elder son of his parents) would moreprobably be in 1271 than in 1281, ie. after some 4, rather than some 14,years of their marriage.

(c) From his 2nd son, Maurice, descend the Berkeleys of Stoke Gifford,co. Gloucester (Lords Botetourt), the Berkeleys of Stratton, Cornwall(Lords Berkeley of Stratton) and the Berkeleys of Pyll, of which familiesthe last is now (1911) represented in the male line by Viscount Portman.

The following from VCH-Wiltshire:

Before the Conquest the land of QUEMERFORD was almost certainly part ofthe king's estate called Calne, and as part of the rump of that estate,later called Calne manor, most of it was probably granted to Fulk deCauntelo c. 1199. The rest evidently lay in holdings which were grantedaway piecemeal from the king's estate or from Calne manor.

Presumably as part of what was probably granted to Fulk de Cauntelo c.1199 the lord of Calne manor held 4 yardlands in Quemerford which in 1274was described as bureland, perhaps suggesting that it was demesne landconverted to customary tenure; it was later called BOWERS manor. Much ofQuemerford's land, including Bowers manor, descended with Calne andCalstone manors and from 1763 with Bowood House. From the 13th century orearlier land in Quemerford was part of Calstone Wylye manor. When, in1585, the lord of Calne manor bought Calstone Wylye manor it waspresumably added to his other land in Quemerford. In 1728 Calne andCalstone manor included c. 450 a. and pasture rights in Quemerford; theland lay mainly in six farms, of which the largest were Sands, LowerSands, Quemerford, and Quemerford Common. In 1776 William, earl ofShelburne, the owner of Bowood House, bought a farm of 58 a. from HenryVince, and in 1790, then marquess of Lansdowne, he bought a farm probablyof 64 a. from Daniel Bull; the farmstead of the farm bought in 1790 wasin 1728 that on the site of Wagon and Horses Cottages. In 1919 Henry,marquess of Lansdowne, sold Sands farm, 267 a. including Calne (formerlyCalstone) Low and land in Abberd mead, and Lower Sands farm, 78 a., to W.A. Higgs. Apparently in the same year Sands farm was bought by H. K.Henly, who in 1942 sold 37 a. to the state for R.A.F. Compton Bassett andin 1947 bought Lower Sands farm. In the early 1950s Henly sold bothfarms, except a small part of Lower Sands farm, to E. H. Bradley & SonsLtd., and in 2001 the land belonged to Aggregate Industries Ltd. In 1919Lord Lansdowne sold Quemerford farm, 117 a., to W. A. Higgs, who sold itin 1923 to Thomas Davis (d. 1962). In 1979 Davis's sons and trustees H.W. and N. G. Davis sold the farm, then 107 a., to Mr. Anthony Whinney,the owner in 1996. In 1919 Lord Lansdowne sold Quemerford Common farm,131 a., to M. L. Bodman. It passed to J. F. Bodman (d. 1969) and, 58 a.,was offered for sale in that year.

In 1198 and until 1226 or later Maurice of Calne held a small estate atQuemerford by serjeanty. In 1231, then assessed at ½ yardland, it wassettled by John son of Ellis on John son of Robert for the grantee'slife; in 1255 it was held by John son of Ellis, in 1275 it was held forservice as bailiff of Calne hundred by that John's son Thomas of Swindon,and in 1294 it passed on Thomas's death to his brother John Ellis. By1289 Millicent de Montalt, the lord of Calne and Calstone manors and ofCalne hundred, had successfully claimed that the land was held of her. Ithas not been traced further than 1294.
