    Biography
    "Muschamp (Feudal Barons of Wooler, co. Northumberland; descended from Robert de Muschamp, who obtained divers lordships from Henry I., left an only dau. and heir. Cicely Muschamp, m. Sir Stephen de Blumer, second son of Blumer, of Sheriff Hutton, co. York, and her descendants assumed the name of Muschamp; Robert de Muschamp, Baron of Wooler, great-grandson of Sir Stephen and Cicely, d. 1249, leaving three co-heiresses: Cicely, m. Odinel de Ford; Mary, m. Valise, Earl of Strathearn, in Scotland; and Isabella, m. William de Huntercombe)."

    "Muschamp (Barmoor, co. Northumberland; descended from Sir William de Muschamp, Knt., of Barmoor, 1267, son of Stephen de Muschamp, third son of Thomas de Muschamp, Baron of Wooler, and grandson of Sir Stephen Bulmer by Cicely Muschamp, his wife)."

    "Stephen de Bulemer (Bulmer) had married Cicely de Muschamp, heiress to the barony. Their son, Thomas, adopted his mother's family name. In 1173, he joined the rebellion of Henry II's eldest son, and William, king of Scots. After the defeat and capture of William at Alnwick in 1174, he fled to Scotland where he remained until his death. His forfeited lands were given to Odinel de Umframville in compensation for the damage he had suffered at the hands of William, king of Scots."

    Thomas married de Vesci, Matilda in 1192 in Northumberland, England. Matilda (daughter of FitzEustace, William and de Stuteville, Burga) was born in 1166 in Alnwick Castle, Alnwick, Northumberland, England; died in 1225 in Wooler, Northumberland, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:


    "Since most of his possessions descended to him from his mother, he adopted her name of Vescy, by which he and his successors were known. He was Sheriff of Northumberland, 1157-70, and of the Honor of Lancaster, 1166-70. At the Inquest of 1166 his carta showed that his tenants held of him 26 knights' fees, plus one third and one seventh of a fee.

    "Like his father, William continued to be controversial in his loyalties to the King. Alnwick was continually involved in disputes and successfully fought off raids from the Scottish King William the Lion in 1172 and again in 1174. When William the Lion invaded Northern England in 1174, he laid siege to de Vescy's own castle of Alnwick. William the Lion kept 500 men with him at Alnwick while the rest of his men set off into the countryside where they massacred 300 people who had taken refuge in a church in Warkworth. An English force from Newcastle discovered William the Lion's campsite outside of Alnwick and under the cover of a thick morning fog took the Scottish King, in a surprise attack, prisoner. A stone close 1/2 mile from the castle marks the site where William the Lion was captured.

    "On 16 March 1176/7, when Henry II arbitrated between the Kings of Castile and Navarre, he was among the witnesses of the award. He was a benefactor of many religious houses.

    "He married, before 1169-71, Burga, daughter of Robert DE STUTEVILLE, by his wife Helewise. Having taken the habit of a monk at Alnwick Abbey, he died shortly before Michaelmas 1183 and was buried near the door of the Chapter House there. His widow, who was living in 1185, was buried with him."

    From Wikipedia

    Eustace fitz John (died 1157) was a powerful magnate in northern England during the reigns of Henry I, Stephen and Henry II. From a relatively humble background in the south-east of England, Eustace made his career serving Henry I, and was elevated by the king through marriage and office into one of the most important figures in the north of England. Eustace acquired a great deal of property in the region, controlled Bamburgh Castle, and served jointly with Walter Espec as justiciar of the North.

    After Henry I's death in 1135, Eustace became involved in the warfare between the supporters of Stephen and his rival the Empress Matilda, the latter led by Matilda's uncle David, King of Scotland. He surrendered Alnwick Castle and Malton Castle temporarily to David, while Bamburgh was taken by Stephen. Eustace became a supporter of David, fighting and suffering defeat at the Battle of the Standard in 1138. He maintained most of his lands in the north however, and from around 1144 became one of the main followers of Ranulf II, Earl of Chester, through whom he gained even more land. Eustace subsequently founded three religious houses, and died on campaign with Henry II in 1157.

    Eustace's family came from the south-east of England. His father John fitz Richard was a tenant-in-chief who appeared in the Domesday Book owning estates in Essex and Norfolk. The family was not of exalted origin, representing the middle rank of society. Eustace had two known sisters, Agnes and Alice. He also had two brothers, Pain (Payne) and William, and it is thought that Pain—whose career was as successful as Eustace's— was probably the eldest. Eustace likely did not inherit much from his father, but instead depended on success as a royal servant.

    Eustace is witnessing royal charters from at least 1119, but may have been at Henry's court as early as 1114. Through Henry's patronage, Eustace married two heiresses, both of whom brought him lands. Beatrix de Vesci, daughter and heiress of Ivo de Vesci, brought him control of Alnwick Castle and the barony of Alnwick in Northumberland. He probably received, in addition, land in Lincolnshire as well as five and a half knight's fees in Yorkshire previously belonging to Ranulf de Mortimer (died 1104). Although it has often been claimed that this marriage brought Eustace the lordship of Old Malton, a former royal manor in the North Riding of Yorkshire, this was probably a separate gift from the king.

    Eustace's marriage to Beatrix occurred some time before 1130.
    The other marriage, which also occurred before 1130, was to Agnes daughter of the constable of Chester William fitz Nigel, and this eventually brought Eustace more land in Yorkshire at Bridlington as well as in Northamptonshire at Loddington. Both landholdings were held from the earl of Chester. Eustace would gain control of many other sub-tenancies, held from a number of lords, including the Archbishop of York, Bishop of Durham, Nigel d'Aubigny, and the count of Aumale, and in Henry's reign he held lands at Aldborough, Tickhill and Knaresborough from the king as a tenant-in-chief.
    ...
    Eustace had a good relationship with Stephen's successor Henry II, and the latter seems to have regarded Eustace as one of his supporters. Henry confirmed Eustace's gifts to his son William de Vescy, and would recognise the latters succession to his father's lands. After Henry's accession in 1154, Eustace attested the new king's charters. Eustace died in July 1157 near Basingwerk in Flintshire, where on campaign with Henry against the Welsh he was ambushed and killed.
    ...
    Eustace Fitz John married firstly Beatrix de Vesci, daughter and heiress of Ivo de Vesci, and had the following known issue;
    1. William de Vesci (d. 1184), married Burga, daughter of Robert III de Stuteville, had issue. William was the sheriff of Northumberland between 1157 and 1170, and would become the ancestor of the Northumberland de Vescy family.

    Beatrix is recorded to have died in childbirth. Eustace married secondly Agnes de Halton, daughter of William fitz Nigel, and had the following known issue;

    2. Richard fitz Eustace (d.c. 1163), married Aubrey de Lisours, daughter of Aubrey de Lacy and niece of Ilbert II de Lacy (another baron captured by Earl Ranulf at the Battle of Lincoln), had issue. He became ancestor of a second line of de Lacys.

    3. Geoffrey fitz Eustace, named as his son in charter of Watton priory.

    Notes:

    Beatrix de Vesci of Alnwick Castle, was an 11th-century medieval noble lady of the house de Vesci. She was the daughter and sole heir of Baron Ivo de Vesci and his wife, Alda. One of the richest heiresses of her time, Beatrix was the first wife of Eustace Fitz John, also known as Eustacius fitz John de Burgo, Constable of Chestershire and Knaresborough.

    According to Dugdale, Beatrix had two sons, William and Geoffrey. However, it often is said that she died during the birth of her first and only son, William de Vesci. William took his mother’s surname and would become the ancestor of the de Vesci baronial house. He served as Sheriff of Northumberland from 1157 to 1170, and Sheriff of Lancashire from 1166 to 1170.

    Upon the death of Eustace Fitz John, his lands passed to his son William by consent of King Henry II. Beatrix's grandson Eustace de Vesci was one of the Surety Barons of Magna Carta.

    ** from Wikipedia listing for Robert III de Stuteville, as of 10/20/2014
    Robert III de Stuteville (died 1186) was an English baron and justiciar.

    Life
    He was son of Robert II de Stuteville (from Estouteville in Normandy), one of the northern barons who commanded the English at the battle of the Standard in August 1138. His grandfather, Robert Grundebeof, had supported Robert of Normandy at the battle of Tinchebray in 1106, where he was taken captive and kept in prison for the rest of his life.

    Robert de Stuteville, the third, occurs as witness to a charter of Henry II of England on 8 January 1158 at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He was a justice itinerant in the counties of Cumberland and Northumberland in 1170–1171, and High Sheriff of Yorkshire from Easter 1170 to Easter 1175. The king's Knaresborough Castle and Appleby Castle were in his custody in April 1174, when they were captured by David of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon. Stuteville, with his brothers and sons, was active in support of the king during the war of 1174, and he took a prominent part in the capture of William the Lion at Alnwick on 13 July (Rog. Hov. ii. 60). He was one of the witnesses to the Spanish award on 16 March 1177, and from 1174 to 1181 was constantly in attendance on the king, both in England and abroad.

    He seems to have died in the early part of 1186. He claimed the barony, which had been forfeited by his grandfather, from Roger de Mowbray, who by way of compromise gave him Kirby Moorside. He is the probable founder of the nunneries of Keldholme and Rosedale, Yorkshire, and was a benefactor of Rievaulx Abbey.

    Family
    Stuteville married twice; by his first wife, Helewise, he had a son William de Stuteville and two daughters; by the second, Sibilla, sister of Philip de Valognes, a son Eustace. Robert de Stuteville was probably brother of the Roger de Stuteville who was sheriff of Northumberland from 1170 to 1185, and defended Wark Castle against William the Lion in 1174. Roger received charge of Edinburgh Castle in 1177, and he built the first Burton Agnes Manor House.[1]

    STUTEVILLE, ROBERT de (d. 1186), baron and justiciar, was son of Robert de Stuteville, one of the northern barons who commanded the English at the battle of the Standard in August 1138 (Gesta Stephani, p. 160). His grandfather, Robert Grundebeof, had supported Robert of Normandy at Tenchebrai in 1106, where he was taken captive and kept in prison for the rest of his life (Rog. Hov. iv. 117–18). Dugdale makes one person of the Robert Stuteville who fought at the battle of the Standard and the justiciar, but in this he was no doubt in error.

    Robert de Stuteville the third occurs as witness to a charter of Henry II on 8 Jan. 1158 at Newcastle-on-Tyne (Eyton, p. 33). He was a justice itinerant in the counties of Cumberland and Northumberland in 1170–1171 (Madox, Hist. Exchequer, i. 144, 146), and sheriff of Yorkshire from Easter 1170 to Easter 1175. The king's castles of Knaresborough and Appleby were in his custody in April 1174, when they were captured by David, earl of Huntingdon. Stuteville, with his brothers and sons, was active in support of the king during the war of 1174, and he took a prominent part in the capture of William the Lion (1143–1214) [q. v.] at Alnwick on 13 July (Rog. Hov. ii. 60). He was one of the witnesses to the Spanish award on 16 March 1177 (ib. ii. 131), and from 1174 to 1181 was constantly in attendance on the king, both in England and abroad (Eyton, passim). He seems to have died in the early part of 1186 (ib. p. 273). He claimed the barony, which had been forfeited by his grandfather, from Roger de Mowbray, who by way of compromise gave him Kirby Moorside (Rog. Hov. iv. 118). Stuteville married twice; by his first wife, Helewise, he had a son William (see below) and two daughters; by the second, Sibilla, sister of Philip de Valoines, a son Eustace. He was probably the founder of the nunneries of Keldholme and Rossedale, Yorkshire (Dugdale, Monast. Angl. iv. 316), and was a benefactor of Rievaulx Abbey.

    Robert de Stuteville was probably brother of the Roger de Stuteville who was sheriff of Northumberland from 1170 to 1185, and defended Wark Castle against William the Lion in 1174 (Jordan Fantosme, passim). Roger received charge of Edinburgh Castle in 1177 (Eyton, p. 214).

    Robert married de Murdac, Helewise. Helewise (daughter of Murdac, Ralph II and de Chesney, Beatrice) was born in 1122 in Lazonby, Cumberland, England; died in 1183 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
