401	I16260	DANFORTH	Nicholas	1 Mar 1589	8 Apr 1638	0	Nicholas Danforth was a leading citizen in his native town of Framlingham, Suffolk, England. He married Elizabeth Barber in 1617 or 18 and they had 7 children before her death in 1629, when her youngest son, our ancestor Jonathan would have been one year-old. He came to America in 1634 with his children and settled at Cambridge. His home in Cambridge was on what is now Bow St. Near Mt. Auburn St. He was Deputy to the general court in 1635, and selectman 1635. He must have kept a tavern as he was given permission by the general court in 1637-38 to "sell wine and strong water.We are descended from Nicholas and Elizabeth through the Wright (Tucker) line.	tree1

404	I392	DE AQUITAINE	Guillaume IX	22 Oct 1071	10 Feb 1126	0	An anonymous 13th-century vida of William remembers him thus: The Count of Poitiers was one of the most courtly men in the world and one of the greatest deceivers of women. He was a fine knight at arms, liberal in his womanizing, and a fine composer and singer of songs. He traveled much through the world, seducing women. In a striking departure from the typical attitude toward women in the period, William seems to have held at least one woman in particularly high esteem, composing several poems in homage to this woman, who he refers to as midons (master):[8] Every joy must abase itself, and every might obey in the presence of Midons, for the sweetness of her welcome, for her beautiful and gentle look; and a man who wins to the joy of her love will live a hundred years. The joy of her can make the sick man well again, her wrath can make a well man die, His frankness, wit and vivacity caused scandal and won admiration at the same time. He is among the first Romance vernacular poets of the Middle Ages, one of the founders of a tradition that would culminate in Dante, Petrarch, and François Villon. Ezra Pound mentions him in Canto VIII: And Poictiers, you know, Guillaume Poictiers, had brought the song up out of Spain with the singers and viels... In Spirit of Romance Pound also calls William IX "the most 'modern' of the troubadours":	tree1

In compensation, the King appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh the 1st Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before 6 July 1336 and they subsequently had two sons and four daughters: Sir Ralph Stafford sensationally abducted Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley, daughter of Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Margaret de Clare, who was worth at least £2,314 a year, more than ten times his own estates.

409	I17287	DE BEAUMONT	Robert	Between 1040 and 1050	Jun 1118	0	Powerful Norman nobleman, one of the very few proven Companions of William the Conqueror during the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, and was revered as one of the wisest men of his age. Chroniclers spoke highly of his eloquence, his learning, and three kings of England valued his counsel. He was granted immense land-holdings in England (mainly in the Midlands) by William the Conqueror and by Henry I and was created Earl of Leicester. At the Battle of Hastings he served as leader of the infantry on the right wing of the Norman army, as evidenced in the following near contemporary account by William of Poitiers: 'A certain Norman, Robert, son of Roger of Beaumont, being nephew and heir to Henry, Count of Meulan, through Henry's sister Adeline, found himself that day in battle for the first time. He was as yet but a young man and he performed feats of valour worthy of perpetual remembrance. At the head of a troop which he commanded on the right wing he attacked with the utmost bravery and success" He and his brother Henry were members of the Royal hunting party in the New Forest in Hampshire when King William II Rufus (1087-1100) was shot dead accidentally by an arrow on 2 August 1100. He pledged allegiance to William II's brother, King Henry I (1100-1135), who created him Earl of Leicester in 1107.	tree1

414	I9284	DE BOHUN	Henry	1176	1 Jun 1220	0	Henry de Bohun was one of the 25 sureties of the Magna Carta in 1215, and was subsequently excommunicated by the Pope.[1] [2] "Henry de Bohun was a member of the Essex-based family grouping brought to the rebel cause by kinship with Geoffrey de Mandeville and Robert FitzWalter. His family also held important blocks of lands in the west of England."[6] In 1215 he joined the confederacy of the barons against the king, and his lands were seized by the king. He was one of the twenty-five barons elected to guarantee the observance of Magna Carta, signed by King John 15 June 1215. In consequence he was among the barons excommunicated by Pope Innocent III 16 Dec 1215.[2]	tree1

It is unknown whether Humphrey was a long-time friend or enemy of Robert Bruce, but they were nearly the same age and the lands of the two families in Essex and Middlesex lay very close to each other. After Bruce's self-exile, Humphrey took Lochmaben, and Edward I awarded him Annandale and the castle. During this period of chaos, when Bruce's queen, Elizabeth de Burgh, daughter of the Earl of Ulster, was captured by Edward I and taken prisoner, Hereford and his wife Elizabeth became her custodians.	tree1

422	I10296	DE CLARE	Gilbert	1180	25 Oct 1230	0	Gilbert de Clare, born in 1180, was a notable figure in medieval England, remembered as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester. He was the son of Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford, and Amice Fitz William, Countess of Gloucester. Gilbert's life was marked by his involvement in significant historical events, including the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War. Inheriting his father's titles and estates in 1217, Gilbert became one of the most influential and wealthiest nobles of his time. His mother's heritage also brought him the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary, along with a portion of the Giffard estates from his ancestor, Rohese Giffard. His holdings and influence were further expanded through his marriage to Isabel Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, one of the most powerful men in England. Gilbert's role in the Magna Carta was significant. In 1215, he and his father were among the barons who became sureties of the charter, a document that sought to limit the powers of the king and establish certain legal protections. His involvement in this pivotal moment in history highlights his status and influence in the political landscape of the time. During the First Barons' War, Gilbert initially supported Louis le Dauphin of France against King John of England. He fought at the Battle of Lincoln under the baronial banner but was captured in 1217 by William Marshal. This capture led to a change in allegiance, and he later married Marshal's daughter, Isabel, on her 17th birthday. Gilbert's military prowess was not limited to the English shores. In 1223, he joined an expedition into Wales and, two years later, was present at the confirmation of the Magna Carta by King Henry III. His leadership and martial skills were again on display in 1228 when he led an army against the Welsh, capturing the notable Welsh leader Morgan Gam. Gilbert's life, however, was not solely defined by warfare and politics. He was also a patron of religious and charitable institutions, a role typical of the nobility of his time. His contributions to the social and religious fabric of his estates were significant, reflecting the responsibilities and interests of a medieval lord. Gilbert de Clare's death in 1230, while on an expedition to Brittany, marked the end of an influential career. His body was returned to England and buried in Tewkesbury Abbey, a testament to his status and the respect he commanded. His legacy continued through his children, who maintained the de Clare family's prominence in English history. Gilbert de Clare's life exemplifies the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and warfare in medieval England. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War, combined with his vast estates and influential marriage, cements his place as a significant figure in the history of medieval England.	tree1
423	I10285	DE CLARE	Margaret	12 Oct 1293	9 Apr 1342	0	Margaret de Clare, countess of Gloucester, was the second daughter of Gilbert de Clare and his wife, Joan of Acre. [1] She was reportedly 22 years old at the time of death of her brother Gilbert at Bannockburn in 1314. She was married first to Piers Gaveston, Knight, Earl of Cornwall, on 1 November 1307 [2] at Berkhamsted. They had one daughter, Joan, [3] who was born on 12 January 1312 in York (she died on 13 January 1325). Piers was executed (beheaded) 19 June 1312, [4] and in September the king endowed the widowed Margaret de Clare with lands valued at 2000 marks per annum. In 1314, Margaret was co-heiress to her brother, Gilbert de Clare, Knight, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, by which she inherited the Castle, borough, and lordship of Newport, and manors of Wentlloog and Machen, Monmouthshire, the Castle and manor of Tonbridge, Kent, and manors in many other counties, including Chipping Ongar, Essex, Campden and Thornbury, Gloucestershire, Naseby, Rothwell, and Whiston, Northamptonshire, Rotherhithe, Surrey, etc. [5] King Edward II was Margaret's uncle. [6]On 28 April 1317, at King's Chapel, Windsor, Berkshire, England, she married her second husband, Hugh Audley the younger. [7] Margaret predeceased her husband, dying on 9 April 1342. [8] At the time of her death she still held several manors in Devon and Newport in Essex as dower lands from her marriage to Gaveston. Her heir was her daughter Margaret, wife of Ralph Stafford, first earl of Stafford, said at the time of her mother's death to be aged, variously, eighteen or twenty years and more. Margaret was buried at Queenhithe, London.[9] Wealth at death: 2000 marks p.a. in jointure with Hugh Audley; share of Clare lands; £1500 p.a. The burial location referred to by Richardson in both Magna Carta Ancestry and Royal Ancestry is actually St. Michael Queenhithe, a church in the City of London in what is now Upper Thomas Street. First recorded in the 12th century, the church was destroyed during the Great London Fire of 1666. Rebuilt by famed 17th century architect Sir Christopher Wren, the church was demolished in 1876.	tree1

426	I7447	DE CLARE	Richard	1130	20 Apr 1176	0	Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (1130 - 20 April 1176), also known as Richard FitzGilbert and commonly referred to by his nickname "Strongbow," was a notable Anglo-Norman lord with a profound impact on the history of Ireland. Born in Tonbridge, Kent, England, he was the son of Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Isabel de Beaumont. His life and actions played a pivotal role in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, marking him as a key figure in both English and Irish history. Strongbow inherited his father's title and estates in 1148 but faced challenges in maintaining his position. Initially deprived of his earldom by King Henry II for siding with King Stephen against the Empress Matilda, he later regained favor and his titles. His life took a significant turn in 1167 when he met Diarmait Mac Murchada, the deposed King of Leinster, who sought his help to recover his kingdom. In exchange for his military support, Mac Murchada offered Strongbow his daughter Aoife in marriage and the succession to Leinster. Despite initial hesitations from King Henry II, Strongbow embarked on the Irish campaign in 1170. His forces, including Welsh archers, played a crucial role in the capture of key Irish towns such as Wexford, Waterford, and Dublin. These victories were instrumental in establishing Norman rule in Ireland. In 1171, following Mac Murchada's death, Strongbow claimed the kingship of Leinster through his marriage to Aoife, further solidifying his influence in the region. Strongbow's relationship with King Henry II was complex. After initial tensions and Henry's intervention in Ireland, Strongbow surrendered some of his conquests to the English king but retained significant lands and power. He supported Henry II in the Revolt of 1173-74 as a reward for his reinstatement in Leinster. His military campaigns in Ireland continued, including a notable defeat in Munster and subsequent victories that re-established his dominance. Richard de Clare's marriage to Aoife MacMurrough produced notable offspring, including Isabel de Clare, who became the 4th Countess of Pembroke. Upon Strongbow's death in 1176, his vast estates and influence passed to his daughter and her husband, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke. Strongbow's legacy is marked by his military prowess, strategic marriages, and significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland. His actions had lasting impacts on the political landscape of Ireland and the relationship between England and Ireland. Buried in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Strongbow remains a figure of both historical significance and legend, remembered for his role in shaping the course of Irish history. Note that this Richard de Clare born in 1130 is not the same Richard de Clare, Magna Carta Baron, born in 1153. However, they were 1st cousins 1X removed.	tree1
427	I5003	DE CLARE	Richard	1153	28 Nov 1217	0	Richard de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford (c. 1153-1217), was a significant figure in the late 12th and early 13th centuries in England. Born into the powerful de Clare family, he inherited vast landholdings and titles, including the Earldom of Hertford and lordships in Tonbridge, Kent, and Cardigan, Wales. Richard's life was marked by his involvement in key political events of his time. He was present at the coronations of Kings Richard I and John, and at the homage of King William of Scotland as the English Earl of Huntingdon. His political activities extended beyond mere appearances; he played a crucial role in the baronial opposition to King John. During the turbulent times leading up to the sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215, Richard sided with the barons against King John. His castle at Tonbridge was taken during these conflicts, reflecting his active participation in the baronial cause. Richard was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a group of barons responsible for ensuring the king's adherence to the charter. This involvement places him at the heart of one of the most significant moments in medieval English history. Richard's marriage to Amice FitzWilliam, the 4th Countess of Gloucester, further elevated his status. This union brought him additional lands and titles, including the estates of Gloucester and the honor of St. Hilary. Their children included Gilbert de Clare, who succeeded him as the 4th Earl of Hertford and 5th Earl of Gloucester, and Maud de Clare, who married Sir William de Braose. Despite his opposition to King John, Richard was excommunicated by the Pope in 1215 along with his son and other barons. This excommunication was part of the wider conflict between the barons and the king, which the Pope supported. Richard de Clare's coat of arms, "Or, three chevronels gules," adopted at the start of the age of heraldry around 1200-1215, became a symbol of his family's enduring legacy in English nobility. Richard de Clare's life and actions, particularly his role in the Magna Carta, highlight the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and rebellion in medieval England. His legacy is not only in his contributions to one of the foundational documents of English law but also in his descendants, who continued to play significant roles in English history. His death in 1217 marked the end of an era, but his impact on English history continued through his family and their extensive influence.	tree1

441	I19756	DE HUNTINGFIELD	William		Abt 1225	0	William de Huntingfield, a medieval English baron, played a significant role in the events surrounding the Magna Carta and the First Barons' War. He died around 1225 and was a key member of the baronial opposition against King John of England. William was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a group chosen to oversee the observance of this landmark charter. Born into a family with connections to East Anglian landowners, William de Huntingfield held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk, including the manor of Huntingfield, from which he took his name. He also held several knights’ fees of other baronies, including that of Lancaster. Initially, William served King John loyally, acting as the temporary custodian of Dover Castle in 1203, an itinerant justice in 1208-1209, and as sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1209-1210. He participated in John's expedition to Ireland in 1210 and served with the king in Poitou in 1214. Despite his royalist inclinations, William joined the baronial opposition in 1215, likely influenced by financial grievances and a sense of disillusionment with John's rule. He was part of the rebel muster at Stamford during Easter of that year. After his appointment to the Twenty Five, he joined forces with Robert FitzWalter and William de Mandeville to assert rebel control over East Anglia and offered assistance to Louis of France after his arrival in England. William's active participation in the rebellion led to his capture at the Battle of Lincoln in May 1217. In September of the same year, negotiations for his ransom were conducted by two of his knights. He died before October 1225, leaving behind his son Roger, who succeeded him, and a daughter Alice, the widow of Sir Richard de Solars. William de Huntingfield's life and actions reflect the complex dynamics of loyalty and opposition during King John's reign. His transition from a royalist to a key figure in the baronial rebellion and his role as a surety of the Magna Carta highlight his significance in this turbulent period of English history. NOTE: The phrase "held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk" refers to a specific type of feudal landholding and obligation in medieval England. Knights’ Fees: This term refers to a unit of land sufficient to support a knight, which could vary in size but was typically enough to generate the income needed to equip and maintain a knight. The concept of knights' fees was part of the feudal system, where land was held in exchange for military service. The Honor of Eye: An "honor" in medieval England was a large estate or collection of lands and holdings. The Honor of Eye refers to a specific group of such estates centered around Eye, a town in Suffolk. It was a significant administrative and territorial unit. Held: To "hold" land in this context means to have control over it, along with the rights and responsibilities that come with it. This usually included the right to collect rents and dues and the responsibility to provide military service or its equivalent to a superior lord or the king. So, when it is said that William de Huntingfield "held seven knights’ fees of the honor of Eye in Suffolk," it means he controlled an area of land within the larger estate of Eye in Suffolk, which was large enough to support seven knights. This would have made him a significant landholder with considerable responsibilities, including providing military service (or the financial equivalent) for the defense of the realm.	tree1
442	I10300	DE LACY	John	1192	22 Jul 1240	0	John de Lacy, born around 1192 and dying in 1240, was a notable figure in the baronial opposition against King John of England and a key player in the events surrounding the Magna Carta. He was the eldest son and heir of Roger de Lacy, constable of Chester, and his wife, Maud de Clere. John inherited a vast and valuable inheritance, including more than a hundred knights’ fees and the baronies of Pontefract and Clitheroe, among others. John's early involvement with King John was marked by a sense of grievance due to the terms on which he was granted possession of his father’s estates. King John demanded a massive fine of 7000 marks and took control of John's chief castles, Pontefract and Castle Donington, to be garrisoned at Lacy’s expense. This heavy burden likely influenced John de Lacy's decision to join the baronial rebellion. Despite his initial loyalty to the crown, evidenced by his participation in John's expedition to Poitou in 1214, John de Lacy joined the baronial cause in 1215. He was present at Runnymede and was named among the Twenty Five barons responsible for enforcing the Magna Carta. His allegiance, however, fluctuated during the subsequent civil war. He briefly submitted to King John in January 1216 but renounced the Magna Carta under duress. By the end of the year, he was in rebellion again, although he was not present at the baronial defeat at Lincoln in 1217. He submitted to the new king, Henry III, in August 1217. John de Lacy's later life was marked by his participation in the Fifth Crusade, where he journeyed to Damietta in Egypt with Ranulph, Earl of Chester, in 1218. He returned to England in 1220 and witnessed the definitive reissue of Magna Carta in 1225. In 1232, following Ranulph’s death, John de Lacy was granted the title of Earl of Lincoln. John de Lacy married twice. His first marriage was to Alice de L'Aigle, and his second, in 1221, was to Margaret de Quincy, daughter of Roger de Quincy and granddaughter of Saer de Quincy, another of the Twenty Five. Through this marriage, he inherited the Earldom of Lincoln in 1232. John and Margaret had one son, Edmund, and two daughters, including Maud de Lacy, who married Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Gloucester. John de Lacy died on 22 July 1240 and was buried at the Cistercian Abbey of Stanlow in County Chester. His life reflects the complex dynamics of loyalty, rebellion, and political maneuvering during a turbulent period in English history. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance in medieval England.	tree1

The meaning of the town's name is uncertain, but it may refer to its position on the road to Scotland and a murder which occurred on that road. The de Merlay family built two castles in the town in the late 11th century and the 13th century. The town was granted its coat of arms in 1552. By the mid-1700s it had become one of the main markets in England	tree1
446	I17571	DE MORTEYN	John	1274	1346	0	Sir John de Morteyn, born in 1274 in Tillsworth, Bedfordshire, England, was a knight and a trusted servant of the English crown during the reigns of Edward I, Edward II, and Edward III. His life was marked by significant military and civic contributions. John de Morteyn's military service began at the age of 22 when he was summoned on 1 March 1296 to perform military service against the Scots, mustering at Newcastle upon Tyne. He participated in the campaign against Berwick-upon-Tweed, where Edward I ordered his army to take the town, resulting in the massacre of 7,500 people. Inheriting the manor of Marston Morteyn after his father's death in 1296, John became a significant landholder. He was again summoned for military service against the Scots on 24 June 1301, mustering at Berwick-upon-Tweed. John was knighted alongside Edward, the Prince of Wales, and about 300 others, including notable figures like Piers Gaveston and Roger Mortimer, on 22 May 1306 at Westminster. This event was described as the greatest since King Arthur's coronation at Caerleon. On 20 January 1307, Sir John de Morteyn was returned as Knight of the Shire for Bedford to Parliament at Carlisle. He was also appointed a Commissioner of the Peace for Bedford. In 1324, John was appointed Constable of Rockingham Castle, Northamptonshire, and given the stewardship of the forest of Rockingham. His duties included overseeing royal grants, assisting in the execution of traitors, keeping state prisoners in custody, paying garrisoned soldiers, and defending the possessions of the Church. John de Morteyn was involved in various commissions of array, responsible for raising soldiers for the defense of the realm, especially against threats from France. He was also involved in legal matters as a Commissioner of oyer and terminer, investigating and determining court cases. In his later years, John de Morteyn faced a conspiracy by the Augustinian prior of Dunstable, John of Cheddington, who accused him of supporting Henry, Earl of Lancaster. John successfully defended himself, and the prior was imprisoned. Sir John de Morteyn passed away in 1346 at about the age of 72 in Bedfordshire, England.	tree1

She died on 25 Dec 1447 and is interred in East Shefford, Berkshire. Her Titles included Baroness Talbot & Baroness Strange of Blackmere. The daughter of John I 'o Falso' of Avis, King of Portugal, b. 11 Apr 1358 and Plantagenet, Philippa of Lancaster, b. 31 Mar 1360, Beatrice married firstly in about 1415 to Talbot, Gilbert of Irchingfield, Lord Talbot 5th and had a child Talbot, Ankaret, Baroness Strange, b. 1416 who died young on 13 Dec 1421. She then married before 1423 to Thomas Fettiplace with whom she had a son John Fettiplace (our direct ancestor). Thomas Fettiplace and Beatrice De Sousa had the following children:William Fettiplace; James Fettiplace & John Fettiplace. Apparently on the authority of a document of 1432, that Beatrice, Lady Talbot "was the illegitimate daughter to the King of Portugal, who surviving him [ie. Sir Gilbert Talbot] became the wife of Thomas, Earl of Arundel"; and he has been followed without question by Lysons and others; while Collins, in his Peerage, states that Beatrice was first married to the Earl of Arundel, then to Gilbert, Lord Talbot; after his decease became the wife of John Holland, Earl of Huntingdon; and finally married John Fettiplace of Childrey in Berkshire. There is endless arguments concerning Lady Beatrice's birth and parentage. Jacobus states that she was not the illegitimate daughter of King Joô I (John) of the Aviz dynasty of Portuguese rulers. (NEHGR 123:241ff Oct 1969) An interesting, yet inconclusive, case for placing her in the Burgundian dynasty of Portugal among the Sousa descendants of Affonso III's illegitimate son, Affonso Dinez -- known as the Sousa de Arronches line -- can be made largely on the heraldic evidence. [TAYLOR, Dr. Nathan L.; Beatrice Fettiplace (Ancestress of Gov. Thomas Dudley): A Summary; unpublished: http://home.earthlink.net/~nathanieltaylor/pdfs/a_Fettiplace.pdf Nevertheless, it is virtually certain that she descends from some noble Portuguese line, so I have kept her here as a daughter of King Joô for the nonce. That she was of the Portuguese Royal House can hardly be questioned, although the argument against her being a daughter of King John I is possibly correct, and that in favour of her being a Pinto, or Souza, possible. Her quartered arms, and her marriage with Lord Talbot, whose first wife was Joan Plantagenet, granddaughter of King Edward III, indicates her royal descent, her mother, as likely as not, being a Pinto or Souza. Bishop White Kennett states: " the family received a great addition of 'blood and honour by marrying Beatrix, daughter of the King of Portugal, which match is mentioned and allowed of in the pedigree of the Kings of Portugal" . Mr. T. C. Button says that Beatrice was in some way related to Peter the Cruel, King of Castile, and the Harl. MS. 5867 records that Sir Thomas Fettiplace "married the Ladye Beatryce, Countesse of Shrewsburye and daughter of Alphoncious, King of Portugal" - the MS. being obviously incorrect as regards Beatrice being Countess of Shrewsbury, for it was her brother-in-law, not her husband, who bore this title. But whatever the theories of Planché and other writers on this subject may be, no notice appears to have been taken of the following letter, a copy of which is to be found amongst the correspondence of a late Rector of East Shefford, and as the marriage of Sir Thomas Fettiplace with the widow of Gilbert Talbot is the one fact that has never been disputed, the contents of the letter, it must be admitted, only add to the confusion already existing in connection with this subject, and may have been already contradicted, or disputed. Legation of Portugal, London, August 20th, 1887. Sir, Pray accept my best thanks for your letter relating to the Fettiplace Tomb. All that I can say in reply to it is that in 1405 an illegitimate daughter of King John I. of Portugal, named Beatrice, married Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey. Left a widow she re-married in 1415 to Gilbert Talbot, Baron of Irchenfield and Blackmere, K.G. She was again left a widow in 1419. 1 am convinced that she did not marry Sir John (?

449	I7072	DE PINTO	Beatrix	1386	25 Dec 1447	0	Complete Peerage 12(1) (1953): 617-620 has a good account of Gilbert Talbot, K.G., 5th Lord Talbot (died 1418). Regarding his marriage to his surviving wife, Beatrice of Portugal, the following information is given: "He married, about 1415, Beatrice, a Portuguese lady, perhaps of the family of Pinto. He died s.p.m. 19 October 1418 at the siege of Rouen. His widow married before 1423 Thomas Fettiplace, of East Shefford, Berkshire, who died between 1442 and 1446 and was buried there. M.I. She died on Christmas day 1447 and was buried at East Shefford aforesaid. M.I." END OF QUOTE. The identification of Beatrice simply as "Portuguese lady" is a bit misleading. There are no less than four visitations which mention this lady, and in all of them she is identified as a daughter of the King of Portugal. The four visitation records are listed below. Furthermore, Collectanea Top. et Gen. 1 (1834): 80-90 indicates that Beatrice bore the ancient arms of Portugal, both on her seal and impaled with those of her husband, Gilbert Talbot.

451	I7254	DE QUINCY	Saer	1155	3 Nov 1219	0	Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester (c. 1155 - 3 November 1219), was a prominent figure in the baronial rebellion against King John of England and a major player in both the Scottish and English political landscapes during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Born to Robert de Quincy and Orabilis, heiress of the lordship of Leuchars, Saer's early life was largely spent in Scotland, where he witnessed several charters of the Scottish kings. His rise to prominence in England was partly due to his marriage to Margaret, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester. Upon the death of his brother-in-law, the Earl of Leicester, in 1204, Saer and his wife became co-heirs to the vast earldom, leading to his eventual appointment as the Earl of Winchester in 1207. Saer de Quincy's military and diplomatic career was notable. He served Richard the Lionheart in 1198 and was with John in Normandy in 1202 and 1203. He and Robert FitzWalter jointly held the strategic Norman stronghold of Vaudreuil but surrendered it to King Philip of France in 1203, a decision that led to their imprisonment and a temporary fall from King John's favor. Despite his initial loyalty to the crown, Saer de Quincy became a key figure in the baronial opposition to King John. In 1215, he joined the rebel ranks at Brackley and marched to London, playing a significant role in the negotiations that led to the Magna Carta. He was one of the 25 barons appointed to ensure the king's adherence to the charter. Following the outbreak of the First Barons' War, Saer continued his opposition to John, even after the king's death, supporting the French Prince Louis's claim to the English throne. He was captured in the Second Battle of Lincoln in 1217 but later reconciled with the crown under Henry III. In 1219, Saer de Quincy embarked on the Fifth Crusade, joining the siege of Damietta in Egypt. He fell ill soon after his arrival and died in November of that year. His body was buried in Acre, and his heart was returned to England for interment at Garendon Abbey. Saer de Quincy's career illustrates the complex interplay of property disputes, political allegiance, and international relations during a turbulent period in medieval history. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John marks him as a significant figure in the struggle for rights and governance in medieval England..	tree1

459	I9261	DE ROS	Robert	1172	1227	0	Sir Robert de Ros (c. 1182-1226/7) was an influential Anglo-Norman feudal baron, soldier, and administrator, remembered primarily as one of the twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of the Magna Carta by King John of England. Born to Everard de Ros and Roese Trussebut, Robert inherited significant estates, including the baronies of Helmsley in Yorkshire and Wark on Tweed in Northumberland. Robert's early life was marked by the death of his father, leaving his lands in the custody of the Chief Justiciar of England, Ranulf de Glanvill. In 1191, he married Isabella, an illegitimate daughter of King William I of Scotland, and inherited a third of the Trussebut estates, including lands in Normandy, where he became hereditary bailiff and castellan. Throughout his career, Robert had a complex relationship with the English crown. He initially supported King Richard I and later King John, witnessing royal charters and participating in diplomatic and military missions. However, tensions with King John emerged around 1205, leading to the seizure of his lands and the taking of his son as a hostage. Despite these challenges, Robert regained favor and was sent on a diplomatic mission to Scotland in 1209. In 1212, Robert entered a monastic order, but he returned to secular life the following year, serving as sheriff of Cumberland and participating in the reconciliation between King John and William de Forz. Despite his initial loyalty to John, Robert joined the baronial rebellion in 1215, attending the baronial muster at Stamford and being appointed to control Yorkshire and possibly Northumberland. Robert's participation in the rebellion led to his excommunication by the Pope and the forfeiture of his lands. He remained on the rebel side even after King John's death in 1216, supporting Prince Louis of France. Eventually, he submitted to the new government and regained most of his lands. In his later years, Robert witnessed the reissue of the Magna Carta in 1225 and re-entered a monastic order, possibly the Knights Templar, by the end of 1226. He died in 1226 or 1227 and was buried in the Temple Church in London. Robert de Ros's life reflects the turbulent political landscape of early 13th-century England. His involvement in the Magna Carta and the baronial rebellion against King John highlights his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance during this period.	tree1

The bulk of their estates lay in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, with a few additional holdings in Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire, and generated an annual income of about £200 net. This was not enough to support a senior member of the English baronage, although Edmund de Stafford had sufficiently distinguished himself in the Scottish wars of Edward I to merit a personal summons to parliament. The path of advancement through military service was followed with distinction by his son, whose lasting achievement was to elevate his family to the ranks of the higher nobility. Having lost his father as a child, Ralph Stafford had come of age and entered his estates by December 1323. He spent his youth in the society of his mother's Staffordshire relatives and of her second husband, a local landowner named Thomas Pipe. Stafford's first known experience of royal service occurred in 1325, when he, his younger brothers, and their stepfather joined the retinue of his maternal uncle, Ralph, second Lord Basset of Drayton. Soon, however, he grew more independent. He was made a knight-banneret in January 1327, being recruited to fight against the Scots shortly afterwards. His support for the plot to free the young Edward III from the control of his mother's lover, Roger Mortimer, earned him the king's lasting gratitude, and marked the beginning of what was to become a close personal relationship. Mortimer's arrest at Nottingham Castle during the parliament of October 1330 enabled Edward to seize the reins of power himself.	tree1

465	I56	DE SWABIA	Hildegarde Taliaferro	2 Apr 757	28 Jan 814	0	An intense physical relationship between the spouses was demonstrated by the fact that, during her 12 years of marriage, Hildegard had 8 pregnancies (including one set of twins) and remarkably chronicles never mentioned either miscarriages or stillbirths. She accompanied Charlemagne on many of his militar campaigns: she gave birth her second child and first daughter, Adelaide, during the siege of Pavia, capital of the Kingdom of the Lombards (September 773/June 774), but she died during the return journey to France. In 778, Hildegard accompanied her husband as far as Aquitaine, where she gave birth the twins Louis and Lothair.[9] In 780/781 she traveled with Charlemagne and four of their children to Rome, where the sons Louis and Carloman (renamed Pepin after his baptism by Pope Adrian I) were appointed sub-kings of Aquitaine and Italy, respectively. This contributed to the strengthening of the alliance between the Carolingians and the Papacy.[10] Because of her frequent pregnancies, can be presumed that Hildegard accompanied her husband on further campaigns, at least temporarily. What is also remarkable about Charles, particularly during that era, is the genuine affection that he had for his children. They travelled with him everywhere he went, the sons at his side, the daughters behind. They dined with him. He was reported to be so fond of his daughters that none of them was allowed to marry; this may have been less out of affection than out of a reluctance to offer land and power to sons-in-law. He had originally contracted a marriage for his eldest daughter Rotrude with Constantine VI of Byzantium, but when the girl was eleven years old, the engagement was annulled. He was not opposed to the daughters having unofficial relationships with men who were not their husbands, and he refused to believe stories that were told about the daughters’ unseemly behavior.	tree1

Born around 1115, Aubrey was a noble involved in the succession conflict between King Stephen and Empress Matilda. He became the Earl of Oxford in 1141 and was a benefactor to several religious houses. Aubrey's first marriage to Beatrice, daughter of Henry, Constable of Bourbourg, was short-lived, possibly due to her poor health. His second marriage to Euphemia ended with her death in 1154. It was his third marriage to Agnes of Essex, daughter of Henry of Essex, a royal constable, that brought a whirlwind of drama. Agnes, born in 1151, was initially betrothed to Geoffrey de Vere, Aubrey's brother. However, in a twist of fate, she rejected Geoffrey and married Aubrey around 1163, when she was about twelve years old. Their marriage coincided with a dramatic turn in Agnes's family fortunes. Her father, Henry of Essex, was accused of treason and lost a judicial duel, leading to his disgrace and the forfeiture of his lands and offices. Following this scandal, Aubrey sought to annul his marriage to Agnes, possibly due to her family's fallen status. Agnes, confined in one of Aubrey's castles, appealed to the Bishop of London and then to Pope Alexander III. The Pope ruled in her favor, establishing the canon law requirement of consent by females in betrothal and marriage. Despite this, Aubrey continued to refuse to cohabit with her. The couple's estrangement was a matter of public and ecclesiastical concern. In 1171 or 1172, the Pope directed the Bishop of London to order Aubrey to restore Agnes to her conjugal rights or face excommunication. Eventually, the marriage was reconciled, and they had four sons, including two future Earls of Oxford, and a daughter. Together, Aubrey and Agnes founded a Benedictine priory for nuns near their castle at Castle Hedingham in Essex around 1190. Aubrey died on 26 December 1194 and was buried at Colne Priory. Agnes survived him and later paid the crown for the right to remain unmarried. She died sometime after 1212 and was buried alongside Aubrey. Their marriage, marked by ecclesiastical intervention, legal battles, and reconciliation, reflects the complex interplay of personal relationships, political fortunes, and religious norms in medieval England. The story of Aubrey and Agnes de Vere is a testament to the turbulent and often unpredictable nature of aristocratic life in the 12th century.	tree1

Hugh de Vere was born about 1200. Hugh's mother, Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford, purchased her son's wardship from the crown for 6000 marks.[1] Hugh did homage to King Henry III in October 1231, and was knighted by the King at Gloucester on 22 May 1233.[2] Two days later the King 'girt him with the sword of the Earldom of Oxford and directed the sheriff to let him have what he ought to have in the name of the Earldom of Oxford as his predecessors had had'.[3]	tree1

476	I10333	DE VERE	Robert	1164	25 Oct 1221	0	Robert de Vere (d. 1221), the 3rd Earl of Oxford, was a significant figure in the early 13th-century English nobility and one of the twenty-five barons who enforced the Magna Carta. He was the third surviving son of Earl Aubrey de Vere and Agnes of Essex. Robert succeeded to the title on the death of his elder brother, Aubrey, in October 1214. Before Michaelmas 1207, Robert married Isabel de Bolebec, the aunt and namesake of Earl Aubrey’s wife, who had died childless. This marriage was part of a strategy to retain control over the Bolebec lands, centered on Whitchurch in Buckinghamshire. The de Vere family, being one of the less well-endowed comital families, was keen to maintain their hold on valuable estates. Robert's defection to the rebel side in 1215 is indicative of King John’s ability to alienate his natural allies. His predecessor had been a loyal intimate and administrator of the king. Robert's decision to join the rebellion was likely influenced by his resentment over the high relief charged for his entry into his inheritance and the king's failure to confirm him in the title of earl and in the office of court chamberlain, which the de Veres held by hereditary right. He was present at the baronial muster at Stamford in April 1215 and was named by chronicler Roger Wendover as one of the principal promoters of discontent. He played a key role in the East Anglian group of rebels. Despite a royal letter issued on 23 June 1215, which implicitly recognized him as Earl of Oxford, Robert had already committed to the Twenty Five, a group of barons appointed to enforce the Magna Carta. In March 1216, King John took possession of his castle at Hedingham after a siege. Robert, who was not present, sought the king’s forgiveness but soon defected to Louis of France. He did not re-enter royal allegiance until the general settlement of the rebellion in the autumn of 1217. Robert de Vere died shortly before 25 October 1221 and was buried in Hatfield Broad Oak priory in Essex. A century after his death, a tomb effigy was commissioned in his memory, which was later moved to Hatfield Broad Oak parish church. His widow, Isabel, managed their son Hugh's estates until her death on 3 February 1245. Robert de Vere's life and actions reflect the complex dynamics of loyalty, rebellion, and political maneuvering during King John's reign.

478	I10326	DE WARENNE	Alice	Jun 1287	23 May 1338	0	Alice, the only daughter of William de Warenne (1256-1286) and Joan de Vere, daughter of Robert de Vere, 5th Earl of Oxford, was born on 15 June 1287 in Warren, Sussex, six months after her father was accidentally killed in a tournament on 15 December 1286. On the death of her paternal grandfather, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey in 1304, her only sibling John de Warenne, 7th Earl of Surrey succeeded to the earldom. He became estranged from his childless wife and they never reconciled, leaving Alice as the heir presumptive to the Surrey estates and title. The Earl of Arundel and his brother-in-law John de Warenne were the only nobles who remained loyal to King Edward II, after Queen Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March returned to England in 1326. He had allied himself to the King's favourite Hugh le Despenser, and agreed to the marriage of his son to Despenser's granddaughter. Arundel had previously been granted many of the traitor Mortimer's forfeited estates, and was appointed Justice of Wales in 1322 and Warden of the Welsh Marches in 1325. He was also made Constable of Montgomery Castle which became his principal base. The Earl of Arundel was captured in Shropshire by the Queen's party.[3] On 17 November 1326 in Hereford, Arundel was beheaded by order of the Queen, leaving Alice de Warenne a widow. Her husband's estates and titles were forfeited to the Crown following Arundel's execution, but later restored to her eldest son, Richard.	tree1
479	I830	DE WARENNE	Isabel	1137	13 Jul 1199	0	She was the great-granddaughter of the first Norman earl, William and his Flemish wife Gundred.[2] When her father died in the Holy Land c.1148 she inherited the earldom of Surrey and was married to William of Blois, the younger son of King Stephen, who became Earl in her right.[1][2] The marriage occurred at a critical moment in The Anarchy as part of the king's attempt to control the de Warenne lands. The couple did not have any children and after William's death in 1159, King Henry II's brother, William X, Count of Poitou sought her hand in 1162/3, but Thomas Becket refused a dispensation from affinity on the grounds of consanguinity. In April 1164, the countess married Hamelin of Anjou, a natural half-brother of King Henry, who became jure uxoris Earl of Surrey. The countess lived an unusually long life, dying at age 73	tree1

It has been suggested that this was murder, planned in advance by William's enemies.[2][3] On the 5th Earl's death the title went to John, the only son of William. John died without legitimate children, so on his death the title passed to Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel, eldest son of Edmund FitzAlan and John' sister Alice.	tree1

489	I1605	DE WIT	Leonard Charles		Abt 1829	0	There is a death record at NHVR for 21 May 1865 of one Leonard de Wit, a single farmer, born in Demerara. In the 1860 census there is a Leonard C Dewitt who was living with the George Derochemont family. He was 26 at that time (born ca 1834), single and a farmer. I believe he is the man who died in 1864 and was more than likely Henrietta's nephew, son of her brother Leonard. Marguerita Maseau of Newington showed me a beautiful wreath that Maria Louisa de Wit wore on her head at her wedding. She told me that her brother had bought it for her in England on one of his trips. I think it was Leonard who was the brother because in a deposition, Sarah (Anderson) de Wit said that she had visited the America once before moving here and also once to England.	tree1

Both de Wit brothers claimed that their father was born in South America, not New York as their sister Sarah claimed on several censuses. By 1900 Leonard and Kate and Anna were in Brooklyn, but brother Thomas was not with them.	tree1

493	I503	DEARBORN	Sally Ann	Sep 1840	1917	0	The 1860 Census enumerates Sally Ann living with her mother, Mary Jane (Adams) Dearborn, her sister Mary Jane, and her grandmother Sally Adams, thus demonstrating the lineage from Sally Ann Dearborn to Sally Adams and Sally's late husband Ebenezer Adams Jr. In 1862, Sally Ann married James Pickering. In the 19 May 1903 Portsmouth Herald under the South Eliot section, it notes that, "Joseph Adams, one of the oldest residents of Newburyport, Mass., who has been the guest of his niece Mrs. S.A. Pickering, is en route for home, visiting Dover on the way." This demonstrates that Joseph Adams was Mary Jane Adam's brother and therefore the child of Ebenezer and Sally (Colbath) Adams	tree1

He was captured by the Welsh forces of Prince Llywelyn the Great, in fighting in the commote of Ceri near Montgomery, in 1228. William was ransomed for the sum of £2,000 and then furthermore made an alliance with Llywelyn, arranging to marry his daughter Isabella de Braose to Llywelyn's only legitimate son Dafydd ap Llywelyn. However, it became known that William had committed adultery with Llywelyn's wife, Joan, Lady of Wales, and Braose was taken at his own home and transported to Wales.[3] The marriage planned between their two children did, however, take place	tree1
