Ted married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life Marcia (Bergman) Twenter on October 27, 1984. They were blessed with two sons, Alexander and Anderson Twenter, who were his pride and joy. Ted's love of the outdoors was evident by the time he spent on their farm outside of Pilot Grove. He liked nothing better than to spend the day working with his sons in their cattle and grain farming operation. Ted enjoyed spending time with his family. They were his top priority. Ted was an avid sports fan and enjoyed playing all sports, especially golf. He enjoyed watching his sons sporting events and was a loyal Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan. One of his last favorite days was watching the Chiefs win the Super Bowl with his wife and sons. Ted was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Pilot Grove and active in many community activities. Ted was known for his quick wit and fun-loving personality. He fought his tough 12-year battle with cancer the way he lived his life.

| 1010 | Bertha of Hereford, also known as Bertha de Pitres (born c. 1130), was the daughter of Miles de Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford, and a wealthy heiress, Sibyl de Neufmarché.[1] She was the wife of William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber[2] to whom she brought many castles and Lordships, such as Brecknock (including Hay Castle), and Abergavenny. Family Bertha was born in England in about 1130. She was a daughter of Miles, Earl of Hereford (1097- 24 December 1143) and Sibyl de Neufmarché.[3] She had two sisters, Margaret of Hereford,[4] who married Humphrey II de Bohun, by whom she had issue,[5] and Lucy of Hereford, who married Herbert FitzHerbert of Winchester, by whom she had issue.[citation needed] Her brothers included Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford, Walter de Hereford, Henry Fitzmiles, William de Hereford, and Mahel de Hereford.[6] Bertha's paternal grandparents were Walter FitzRoger de Pitres, Sheriff of Gloucester and Bertha de Balun of Bateden,[7] a descendant of Hamelin de Balun,[citation needed] and her maternal grandparents were Bernard de Neufmarché, Lord of Brecon, and Nesta ferch Osbern.[8] The latter was a daughter of Osbern FitzRichard of Richard's Castle, and Nesta ferch Gruffydd.[9] Bertha was a direct descendant, in the maternal line, of Gruffydd ap Llywelyn (1007- 5 August 1063) and Edith (Aldgyth), daughter of Elfgar, Earl of Mercia.[citation needed] Bertha's father Miles served as Constable to King Stephen of England. He later served in the same capacity to Empress Matilda after he'd transferred his allegiance. In 1141, she made him Earl of Hereford in gratitude for his loyalty. On 24 December 1143, he was killed whilst on a hunting expedition in the Forest of Dean.[10] Marriage and issue Abergavenny Castle in Monmouthshire, Wales, was one of the castles Bertha of Hereford brought to her husband William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber In 1150, Bertha married William de Braose, 3rd Lord of Bramber (1112–1192), son of Philip de Braose, 2nd Lord of Bramber and Aenor, daughter of Judael of Totnes. William and Bertha had three daughters and two sons, including William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber. In 1173, Bertha's brothers all having died without issue, she brought the Lordships and castles of Brecknock and Abergavenny, to her husband.[10] Hay Castle had already passed to her from her mother, Sibyl of Neufmarche in 1165, whence it became part of the de Braose holdings. In 1174, Bertha's husband became Sheriff of Hereford. Bertha's children include William de Braose, 4th Lord of Bramber, (1144/1153- 11 August 1211, Corbeil),[11] married Maud de St. Valery, daughter of Bernard de St. Valery, by whom he had 16 children.

| 1011 | Bertha of Swabia a member of the Alemannic Hunfriding dynasty, was queen of Burgundy from 922 until 937 and queen of Italy from 922 until 926, by her marriage with King Rudolph II. She was again queen of Italy during her second marriage with King Hugh from 937 until his death in 948. Bertha was the daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia and his wife Regelinda. In 922 she was married to the Burgundian king Rudolph II. The Welf rulers of Upper Burgundy had campaigned the adjacent Swabian Thurgau region several times, and the marriage was meant as a gesture of reconciliation. With her husband Rudolph, Bertha founded the church of Amsoldingen. 12 December 937, the widowed Bertha married King Hugh of Italy in what is today Colombier. This marriage was not a happy one; when Hugh died in 947, Bertha returned to Burgundy. Between 950 and 960, Bertha founded Payerne Priory, where she was buried. Up to today she is venerated as "Good Queen Bertha" (La reine Berthe) in the Swiss Romandy region, mainly in Vaud, and numerous myths and legends have evolved about her life. | von Schwaben, Bertha (I34285)

| 1012 | Bertha, daughter of Lothair II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bertha (863-8 – March 925 in Lucca) was countess of Arles by marriage to Theobald of Arles, and margravine of Tuscany by marriage to Adalbert II of Tuscany. She served as regent of Lucca and Tuscany from 915 until 916 during the minority of her son Guy of Tuscany. She was described as beautiful, spirited, and courageous, and her influence over her spouse was, coupled with ambition, attributed to have involved her husbands in many wars. She was the second illegitimate daughter of Lothair II, King of Lotharingia, by his concubine Waldrada.[1] Life Between 879 and 880, Bertha married her first husband, Theobald of Arles. A Bosonid, his father was Hucbert. Hucbert's brother-in-law was Lothair II. Bertha is also known for her curious correspondence to Caliph al-Muktafi in 906, in which she described herself rather grandly as "Queen of the Franks." Bertha's letter is of interest in that she appears to have little knowledge of Baghdad politics or culture, and it is for this reason that details of her correspondence were recorded by one of the Muslim chroniclers. Bertha was seeking a marriage alliance between herself and the Emir of Sicily, unaware that al-Mukfati had little influence over the Aghlabid colony in Sicily. Moreover, the letter was written in a language unfamiliar to the Caliph's translators, and the accompanying gifts (among them a multicoloured woollen coat) which no doubt indicated largesse on Bertha's part, were unlikely to have impressed al-Muktafi beyond their novelty value.[2] After the death of Adalbert II in 915, her son Guy became count and duke of Lucca and margrave of Tuscany. Bertha, as his mother, was his regent. She stepped down from regency in 916. Bertha died on 8 March 925 in Lucca. Issue Bertha and Theobald of Arles had four children with : Hugh (882 – 10 April 947);[3] Boso (885–936) Theutberga of Arles (890–948), married Warner, viscount of Sens[4] An unknown daughter (d. after 924) Bertha and Adalbert II of Tuscany had three children: Guy (d. 3 February 929);[5] Lambert (d. after 938); Ermengarde (d. 932). | de Lorraine, Bertha (I32345)

| 1013 | Bertram de Verdun was the name of several members of the Norman family of Verdun, native of Avranchin. For the historian Mark Hagger, the Verdun family lived lavishly in Normandy where they were minor land holders, and after the Norman conquest of England they were granted land in England. Bertram I de Verdun Bertram I de Verdun appears in the Domesday Book (1086), holding the land and the manor of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, held before the conquest by princess Goda of England. In Domesday Book, Bertram is said to have been in Normandy for William II's business, "duc est transmare in servicio regis", and appears in two charts of William de Saint-Calais, bishop of Durham, and King's chief advisor. Bertram's wife's name is unknown, but his son and heir was Bertram II de Verdun (?-c. 1129/30). ------------------ Bertram II de Verdun continued to amass land in England, and by 1128 also had been granted land in Staffordshire and Leicestershire. Hagger suggests that he also had assumed an administrative position for Henry I, and was possibly sheriff of Yorkshire in 1100. | de Verdun, Bertram II (I33694)

Biography Bethóc was the eldest daughter of the Malcolm II of Scotland, who had no known surviving sons. She married Crínán, Abbot of Dunkeld. Their older son, Donnchad I, ascended to the throne of Scotland around 1034. Malcolm's youngest daughter married Sigurd Hlodvirsson, Earl of Orkney.[1] Early writers have asserted that Máel Coluim also designated Donnchad as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne. In this period, the Scottish throne still passed in Picto-Gaelic matrilineal fashion, from brother to brother, uncle to nephew, and cousin to cousin. References 1. Knox, James.

| 1024 | BIO: from British Kings and Queens (Mike Ashley) 154 Beli ap Eiludd Powys, fl 630s Beli features in the ancestry of Elisedd of Powys, but the ancient genealogy provides us with a confusion over dates. If Belii was genuinely the son of Eiludd, and nephew of Selyf, then he must have lived in the decade or two after the Battle of Chester in 613. This would make him a contemporary with Cadwallon of Cwynedd, and there is little doubt that the rulers of Gwynedd and Powys at this time would have united in their campaign against the Northumbrians. Like Cadwallon, Beli was probably driven into exile by Edwin. However, his son Gwylog married the daughter of Nowy of Dyfed, and Nowy is a generation earlier than Beli, which would place him into at least the 590s if not earlier. This would make it impossible for Beli to be the grandfather of Elisedd who lived around 725. These anomalies are far from being resolved. ** from Wikipedia listing for Beli ap Eiludd Beli ap Eiludd was a 7th century King of Powys. Some theories assert that he was in fact the son of Manwgan ap Selyf who regained power after Eiludd Powys was killed at the battle of Battle of Maes Cogwy in 642. The king of Powys in the middle of the 7th was Beli ab Eiludd (around 650?). He was the son of Powys Bowl, and was followed by his son Gwylog ap Beli. | ap Eiludd, King Beli (I33555)

| 1027 | BIO: from British Kings and Queens (Mike Ashley) p 155 Broachfael ap Elisedd Powys, fl 760s The son of Elisedd, little is known of his reign, except hat it would have paralled that of Mercia's greatest king, Offa. Whatever lands Elisedd had gained in the first half of the century, Brochfael probably lost in the second half. Offa undertook many raids into Wales during his reign, some as far west as Dyfed, and Powys was little more than a doorstep to his mighty army. Although the dates of Brochfael's reign are not known, it is possible he reigned for a considerable period. It was during his reign that Offa's Dyke was constructed, a remarkable feat of engineering which must have taken many men many years. It is a sign of Offa's power that it could be achieved at all, and it is probable that it was the men of Powys and of Glywysing who were pressed into service to complete the work. It served as much as a line of demarkation as a defence, and as such shows that Offfa effectively agreed a border between the Welsh and the English would help sustain peace. Brochfael would therefore have benefitted from the Dyke in the short term, though in the long term it spelled the end for Powys. Brochfael was succeeded by his son Cadell.

The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that "quinta filia…Willihelmi Marescalli…Eva" married "Willielmo de Brewes"[1049]. A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names “Willielmus de Brews quartus” married “Evam filiam domini Willielmi Mareschalli”[1050]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a letter from "L. princeps" to "domino W. Marescallo comiti Penbrochiæ" assuring him that he still wishes the proposed marriage between "neptem vestram et filium nostrum David" to take place[1051]. m WILLIAM de Briouse Lord of Abergavenny, son of REYNALD de Briouse & his first wife Grecia de Briwere (-hanged 2 May 1230). ** from English Baronies, p 63 Eve, who inherited one-tenth of the honour of Long Crendon, m. William de Braose d. 1230. She died c. 1246 leaving Maud, Isabel, Eleanor, Eve. ** from http://www.renderplus.com/hartgen/htm/de-braose.htm Eve - continued to hold Braose lands and castles in her own right after the death of her husband. Dugdale mentions her as holder of Totnes in 1230. It is recorded in the Close Rolls (1234-7) that Henry III granted 12 marks to her to strengthen the castle at Hay. ** from Wikipedia listing for Eva Marshal Eva Marshal (1203 – 1246) was a Cambro-Norman noblewoman and the wife of the powerful Marcher lord William de Braose. She was the daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and the granddaughter of Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster. She held de Braose lands and castles in her own right following the public hanging of her husband by the orders of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales. Family and marriage Lady Eva was born in 1203, in Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales, the fifth daughter and tenth child of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. Her paternal grandparents were John Marshal and Sibyl of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known to history as Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster, for whom she was probably named. Lady Eva was the youngest of ten children, having had five older brothers and four older sisters. Eva and her sisters were described as being handsome, high-spirited girls. From 1207 to 1212, Eva and her family lived in Ireland. Sometime before 1221, she married Marcher lord William de Braose, who in June 1228 succeeded to the lordship of Abergavenny,[n 1] and by whom she had four daughters. William was the son of Reginald de Braose and his first wife Grecia Briwere. He was much hated by the Welsh who called him Gwilym Ddu or Black William. Pembroke Castle, Wales, the birthplace of Eva Marshal Issue Isabella de Braose (b.1222), married Prince Dafydd ap Llywelyn. She died childless. Maud de Braose (1224 – 1301), in 1247, she married Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore, by whom she had issue, including Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer and Isabella Mortimer, Countess of Arundel. Eva de Braose (1227 – 28 July 1255), married William de Cantelou, by whom she had issue. Eleanor de Braose (c.1228 – 1251). On an unknown date after August 1241, she married Humphrey de Bohun. They had two sons, Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford and Gilbert de Bohun, and one daughter, Alianore de Bohun. All three children married and had issue. Eleanor was buried in Llanthony Secunda Priory. Widowhood Eva's husband was publicly hanged by Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales on 2 May 1230 after being discovered in the Prince's bedchamber together with his wife Joan, Lady of Wales. Several months later, Eva's eldest daughter Isabella married the Prince's son, Dafydd ap Llywelyn, as their marriage contract had been signed prior to William de Braose's death. Prince Llywelyn wrote to Eva shortly after the execution, offering his apologies, explaining that he had been forced to order the hanging due to the insistence by the Welsh lords. He concluded his letter by adding that he hoped the execution would not affect their business dealings. Following her husband's execution, Eva held de Braose lands and castles in her own right. She is listed as holder of Totnes in 1230, which she held until her death. It is recorded on the Close Rolls (1234–1237) that Eva was granted 12 marks by King Henry III of England to strengthen Hay Castle. She had gained custody of Hay as part of her dower. In early 1234, Eva was caught up in her brother Richard's rebellion against King Henry and possibly acted as one of the arbitrators between the King and her mutinous brothers following Richard's murder in Ireland. This is evidenced by the safe conduct she received in May 1234, thus enabling her to speak with the King. By the end of that month, she had a writ from King Henry granting her seisen of castles and lands he had confiscated from her following her brother's revolt.

Robert & his wife had eight children... ** 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.

Thietmar names "Ottone germano sui", referring to Gerberga wife of Heinrich von Schweinfurt, whose captivity is recorded in the preceding paragraph, an earlier paragraph referring to "Heriberti comitis filio Ottone" which appears to refer to the same Otto[333]. An alternative possibility is that Gerberga was the daughter of Otto Graf von Grabfeld (see below), the solution chosen by Europäische Stammtafeln[334], but this assumes that the two references to "Otto" in Thietmar were to different individuals. It is also less likely chronologically as it would appear that Otto Graf von Grabfeld was several decades older than Otto Graf von Hammerstein. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her daughter Eilika having given birth to her first child in [1020].

He died 16 Dec 1331. His widow received dower in September 1332, and in 1334 obtained the castle of Bridgwater and various manors as her right by gift of Roger de Mortimer. She married, 2ndly (licence 1335), William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, who died in September 1360. She died June 1356. ** from Wikipedia listing for Elizabeth de Badlesmere, Countess of Northampton Elizabeth de Badlesmere, Countess of Northampton (1313 – 8 June 1356) was the wife of two English noblemen, Sir Edmund Mortimer and William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton. She was a co-heiress of her brother Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere. At the age of eight she was sent to the Tower of London along with her mother, Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere and her four siblings after the former maltreated Queen consort Isabella by ordering an assault upon her and refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle. Family Elizabeth was born at Castle Badlesmere, Kent, England in 1313 to Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare. She was the third of four daughters. She had one younger brother, Giles de Badlesmere, 2nd Baron Badlesmere, who married Elizabeth Montagu, but did not have any children. Her paternal grandparents were Guncelin de Badlesmere and Joan FitzBernard, and her maternal grandparents were Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond and Juliana FitzGerald of Offaly. Elizabeth's father was hanged, drawn and quartered on 14 April 1322 for having participated in the Earl of Lancaster's rebellion against King Edward II of England; and her mother imprisoned in the Tower of London until 3 November 1322. She had been arrested the previous October for ordering an assault upon Queen consort Isabella after refusing her admittance to Leeds Castle, where Baron Badlesmere held the post of Governor. Elizabeth and her siblings were also sent to the Tower along with their mother. She was eight years old at the time and had been married for five years to her first husband; although the marriage had not yet been consummated due to her young age. In 1328, Elizabeth's brother Giles obtained a reversal of his father's attainder, and he succeeded to the barony as the 2nd Baron Badlesmere. Elizabeth, along with her three sisters, was a co-heiress of Giles, who had no children by his wife. Upon his death in 1338, the barony fell into abeyance. The Badlesmere estates were divided among the four sisters, and Elizabeth's share included the manors of Drayton in Sussex, Kingston and Erith in Kent, a portion of Finmere in Oxfordshire as well as property in London. Marriages and issue On 27 June 1316, when she was just three years old, Elizabeth married her first husband Sir Edmund Mortimer (died 16 December 1331) eldest son and heir of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March and Joan de Geneville. The marriage contract was made on 9 May 1316, and the particulars of the arrangement between her father and prospective father-in-law are described in Welsh historian R. R. Davies' Lords and Lordship in the British Isles in the late Middle Ages. Lord Badlesmere paid Roger Mortimer the sum of £2000, and in return Mortimer endowed Elizabeth with five rich manors for life and the reversion of other lands. The marriage, which was not consummated until many years afterward, produced two sons: Roger Mortimer, 2nd Earl of March (11 November 1328 Ludlow Castle- 26 February 1360), married Philippa Montacute, daughter of William Montacute, 1st Earl of Salisbury and Catherine Grandison, by whom he had issue, including Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March). John Mortimer (died young) By the order of King Edward III, Elizabeth's father-in-law, the Earl of Mortimer was hanged in November 1330 for having assumed royal power, along with other crimes. His estates were forfeited to the Crown, therefore Elizabeth's husband did not succeed to the earldom and died a year later. Elizabeth's dower included the estates of Maelienydd and Comot Deuddwr in the Welsh Marches. In 1335, just over three years after the death of Edmund Mortimer, Elizabeth married secondly William de Bohun, 1st Earl of Northampton (1312–1360), fifth son of Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford and Elizabeth of Rhuddlan. He was a renowned military commander and diplomat. Their marriage was arranged to end the mutual hostility which had existed between the Bohun and Mortimer families. A papal dispensation was required for their marriage as de Bohun and her first husband, Sir Edmund Mortimer were related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity by dint of their common descent from Enguerrand de Fiennes, Seigneur de Fiennes. Elizabeth and de Bohun received some Mortimer estates upon their marriage. By her second marriage, Elizabeth had two more children: Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford 6th Earl of Essex, 2nd Earl of Northampton (24 March 1342 - 16 January 1373), after 9 September 1359, married Joan Fitzalan, by whom he had two daughters, Eleanor de Bohun, Duchess of Gloucester, and Mary de Bohun, wife of Henry of Bolingbroke (who later reigned as King Henry IV). Elizabeth de Bohun (c.1350- 3 April 1385), on 28 September 1359, married Richard Fitzalan, 11th Earl of Arundel, by whom she had seven children including Thomas Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, Elizabeth FitzAlan, and Joan FitzAlan, Baroness Bergavenny. In 1348, the earldom of March was restored to her eldest son Roger who succeeded as the 2nd Earl. Death Elizabeth de Badlesmere died on 8 June 1356, aged about forty-three years old. She was buried in Black Friars Priory, London. She left a will dated 31 May 1356, requesting burial at the priory. Mention of Elizabeth's burial is found in the records (written in Latin) of Walden Abbey which confirm that she was buried in Black Friars: Anno Domini MCCCIxx.obiit Willielmus de Boun, Comes Northamptoniae, cujus corpus sepelitur in paret boreali presbyterii nostri.

The marriage of Angharad and Llywelyn is confirmed by the Chronicle of the Princes of Wales which records that "Bleddyn son of Cynvyn and Gruffudd son of Llywelyn were brothers by the same mother Angharad daughter of Meredudd king of the Britons". Llywelyn was aged 14 at the time (so born in 980). The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Llywelyn son of Seisyllt lord of Maes Essyllt although but a youth not more than fourteen years of age" married "Yngharad, daughter of Meredydd on of Owain" in 994 1023 Anghard's Second Marriage to Cynfyn ap Gwerstan As the widow of Llywelyn, Angharad married secondly in 1023 Cynfyn ap Gwerstan, King of Powys, son of Gwerstan. Death She died in Wales in 1077 (83-91) Issue Angharad had children by two marriages. Her second husband Cynfyn likely had children by a previous wife, and these children are sometimes mis-attributed to Angharad. 1.) Gruffydd ap Llewelyn, son of Angharad and her first husband Llewelyn. Gruffydd, king of Gwynedd & Powys was born about 1011 in Rhuddlan, Flintshire, Wales and died 5 August 1063. He was the child of Llywelyn ap Seisyllt and Angharad verch Maredudd. Gruffydd did not succeed his father, possibly because he was too young to do so when his father died in 1023. Gruffydd went on to become the first King of Wales, however he was killed by his own men in 1063. Gruffydd's own sons Maredudd and Idwal died in 1069, fighting at the Battle of Mechain. Gruffydd ap Llywelyn inflicted a series of defeats on the English, and made alliances with the enemies of King Edward the Confessor. Gruffydd fought a long campaign against rival kings to win overall control of Wales. By 1055, he had become master of Deheubarth and had expanded his rule to the lesser kingdoms of Morgannwg (Glamorgan) and Gwent. In 1063, Earl Harold Godwinsson (later Harold II) and his brother Tostig made a joint attack on Gwynedd. At the same time, Deheubarth rebelled against Gruffydd's rule. Gruffydd fled and was murdered by his own men. Gruffydd married Ealdgyth, a daughter of Ælfgar, Earl of Mercia. Ealdgyth married second in circa 1064 to Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon King of England. Ealdgyth and Gruffydd had a son: Maredudd ap Gruffydd who was excluded from the throne by his uncles Bleddyn ap Cynfyn and Rhywallon ap Cynfyn. Gruffydd ap Llewelyn, king of the Britons 2.) Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn ap Gwerystan, son of Angharad and Cynfyn, born c. 1024, was elevated to king of Powys after the death of Gruffudd ap Llewelyn Rhiwallon was killed in the Battle of Mechain, about 1068. This is the most concrete date associated with Rhiwallon. Warriors were generally young men, though the princes for whom they fought were often older and also expected to fight. Estimate that Rhiwallon was aged 45 at Mechain, and his birth year would be, say, 1025, or if the first born of his mother's second marriage, 1024. Florence of Worcester records that he was appointed King of Powys by King Edward "the Confessor" after the defeat of Gruffydd. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records in 1106 that "Bleddyn and Rhiwallon, sons of Cynvyn, were brothers, from Angharad daughter of king Maredudd". Florence of Worcester records that he was appointed King of Powys by King Edward "the Confessor" after the defeat of Gruffydd. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "the action of Mechain took place between Bleddyn and Rhiwallon, sons of Cynvyn, Maredudd and Ithel, sons of Gruffudd" in 1068, adding that "Ithel was killed in the battle and Maredudd died of cold in his flight, and Rhiwallon son of Cynvyn was slain". The name of Rhiwallon´s wife is not known. 3.) Bleddyn ap Cynfyn, born c. 1025, who was made king of Gwynedd after Gruffudd's death in 1063, and additionally king of Powys when Rhiwallon was killed in 1069 Bleddyn ap Cynfyn of Deheubarth was born in 1025 and died in 1075. Bleddyn ap Cynfyn born about 1025 Montgomeryshire, Bleddyn ap Cynfyn was the son of Princess Angharad ferch Maredudd (of the Dinefwr dynasty of Deheubarth) and her second husband Cynfyn ap Gwerstan, The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records in 1106 that "Bleddyn and Rhiwallon, sons of Cynvyn, were brothers, from Angharad daughter of king Maredudd".

Patrick added the Welsh marcher lordship of Kidwelly by his marriage to Hawise (d. 1274), daughter and heir of Thomas de Londres (d. c.1216). This senior male line of the family ended in the granddaughter of this marriage, Maud (1278c.1322), who, as a ward of Edmund, earl of Lancaster, was married to Edmund's second son, Henry, later earl of Lancaster (c.1280-1345), in the 1290s. Death He was killed in battle against the Welsh. There was an Inquisition of Patrick de Chaworces alias de Chaors, de Chauurces, de Chawrces, de Chawerches, etc. Writ to the sheriff of Gloucester, 23 Sept. 42 Hen. III Wilts.

[Reference: Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, vol. 1 (1904): 113-115]. The above record merely states that the manor and advowson of Berwick, Wiltshire was held by Mabel de Cantelowe for life "by exchange" and that on the death of Mabel, the property was to revert to Patrick de Chaworth's heirs. There is no indication in the inquisition if or how Patrick de Chaworth is related to Mabel de Cantelowe. The Welsh rising of 1257 involved the destruction of the settlement at Kidwelly, but the invaders failed to capture the castle. Patrick was slain during the campaign of the following year, and the wardship of his lands was granted to Hawise during the minority of their son Payn. "Early in September [1258] David ap Gruffydd, Maredudd ab Owain, and Rhys Fychan were together in Emlyn, where a conference was proposed between them and Maredudd ap Rhys, who, with Patrick of Chaworth, was at Cardigan with a large force, assembled from all the marcher lordships of West Wales. The meeting was to have come off at Cilgerran, but Patrick, unhappily for himself, was persuaded to deal treacherously with his foes, and on the evening of 4th September attacked them with all his host. Notwithstanding the surprise and their inferior numbers, the Welsh successfully met the onslaught, and in the rout which followed the lord of Kidwelly was slain."

Linton -------*-------- Return to Index Chaworth : the Anglicized form of Chaurtes, Chaurcis, or Cadurcis; a name "derived," says Camden, "from the Cadurci in France," and dating from the Conquest in this country. Patric de Cadurcis, of Little Brittany, who was seated in Gloucestershire, and a benefactor of Gloucester Abbey in the latter years of the Conqueror's reign, founded a powerful family of Lords Marcher, that bore rule on the Welsh frontier up to the close of the fourteenth century. Pain, called by Dugdale Patric's grandson (though, as he was living in 1217, a hundred and thirty years after the death of the Conqueror, he must have been a far more remote descendant), held 125 knight's fees in Montgomery, and acquired Bridgewater Castle in Somersetshire, with other estates, through his wife Gundred de la Ferte, whose mother had been the sister and co-heir of the last William de Briwere. His son and successor, Patric, made a still greater alliance, for he married Hawise, the only daughter of Thomas de Londres, who brought, "with his fair Inheritance, the title of Lord of Ogmor and Kydweli. The heirs of Maurice de Londres were oblig'd by their tenure, in case the King or his chief justice should lead an army into these parts, to conduct the said army, with their banners, through the county of Neath to Lochor."—Camden. This great lordship was confirmed to him, by Henry III., "providing he could win and keep it for himself;" a condition rendered onerous by the distracted state of the country. In 1244 he had received the King's precept to "use all his power and diligence in annoying the Welsh, then in hostility;" and the Welsh naturally retaliated; for in 1258 Llewellyn and the princes of South Wales encamped at Kidwelly, and fired all the houses, except the castle. While thus engaged, "they were surprised by Meredith ap Res and the Lord Patric, who suddenly came down upon them with a body of Englishmen from Carmarthen. A vigorous battle took place, in which the Welshmen were eventually victorious." (Bridgeman's Princes of South Wales.) Then followed a year's truce, during which Prince Edward sent Patric, the King's Seneschal at Carmarthen, to treat with the Welsh at Emlyn. According to Matthew Paris, Llewellyn "meaning good faith, sent his brother David, with some others, to entreat with them of peace; but Patric, meaning to entrap them, laid an ambushment of armed men by the way, and as they should have met, these men fell upon the Welshmen, and slew a great number of them." Those that escaped from this base act of treachery raised the country, and collecting a considerable force, marched to meet the English, who had "mustered at Cardigan in all their pride." They encountered near the town of Kilgarran, "and a fierce engagement took place, in which the English were routed and fled, leaving their slain, with many caparisoned horses, behind them. In that battle the Lord Patric de Chaworth, Walter Malenfant, a stout and valiant knight from Pembroke, and other knights who had lately arrived from England, were slain."—Ibid. Patric left three young sons—the eldest then only thirteen—who proved the last heirs of his house. All of them, Pain, Hervey, and Patric', were signed with the cross in 1269, and attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land; but of Hervey there is no further mention. Pain commanded Edward I.'s army in West Wales in 1277, when Llewellyn was forced to conclude a treaty of peace; and "being thus victorious, was made governor of the Castles of Dumevor, Karekenyl and Landevery." He died in the following year, and his brother Patric, who succeeded him, only survived till 1282, leaving by Isabel de Beauchamp his wife, an only child, Maud, Lady of Kilwelly, married to Henry Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster, the nephew of Edward I. A far longer-lived branch of the family had been very early established in Nottinghamshire, through the marriage of Robert de Chaworth with the heiress of Marnham, Alice de Walichville. He was, without doubt, a relative or descendant of the first Patric, but he cannot possibly have been, as Dugdale asserts, his brother, as he lived in the ensuing century, and appears in the Liber Niger as holding a fee of William de Albini in Leicester. His grandson, William, acquired Alfreton, "in ancient times esteemed a barony of honour," through Alice, daughter and co-heir of its last lord, whose arms "were," says Thoroton, "almost ever used by Chaworth." The next heir, Thomas, was a baron by writ in 1296, but none of his posterity were ever honoured by a second summons, though their domain in Nottingham expanded apace through successive additions. Fourth in descent from Thomas was Sir William, whose wife was the heiress of Wyverton, as one of the representatives of the last Lord Basset of Drayton; and their son Sir Thomas married Isabel, daughter of Sir Thomas Ailesbury. "By this Match, he was entitled to the Inheritance of the honourable Families of Aylesbury, Pakenham, Engaine, Basset of Weldon, and Kaines, and better enabled to make the Park at Wiverton, which he had the King's License to do 24 Hen. VI.: who likewise granted him Free Warren in that Place, whereby it is very probable that he was the chief Builder of that strong House, which from thenceforward was the principal Mansion of his worthy Successors, and in our Times made a Garrison for the King, which occasioned its Ruin; since when, most of it is pulled down and removed, except the old uncovered Gatehouse, which yet remains a Monument of the Magnificence of this Family."—Thoroton's Notts. A third heiress brought Annesley to the next heir, George; but the line expired after three more generations, ending in 1589 with Sir George Chaworth. His daughter and sole heir, Elizabeth, married Sir John Cope. But she did not succeed either to Wyverton or Annesley, for there yet remained descendants of Sir George's uncle, whose grandson, another Sir George, was created in 1672 Viscount Chaworth of Armagh in the peerage of Ireland. This title was borne for little more than seventy years, as the third Viscount, again, left no heir but a daughter, Juliana Countess of Meath, the ancestress of the present Earl. The first Lord Chaworth had, however, younger brothers, whose posterity carried on the line at Annesley until the first years of the present century, when the last heir male, William Chaworth, died, and the estates devolved on his only child, Mary Anne, "The solitary scion left Of a time honour'd race." This was the fair lady immortalized by Lord Byron's early idolatry—the heroine of his 'Dream.' They were close neighbours in the country (Annesley Hall is scarcely three miles from Newstead) and distant relations by blood; for the sister of the last Viscount had married the ancestor of Lord Byron. But the families had been sundered by a deadly feud, caused by the fatal duel fought in 1765 between the poet's great uncle, the fifth Lord Byron, and Mr. Chaworth of Annesley. "The following," writes Horace Walpole, "is the account nearest the truth that I can learn of the fatal duel last night. A club of Nottinghamshire gentlemen had dined at the Star and Garter, and there had been a dispute between the combatants whether Lord Byron, who took no care of his game, or Mr. Chaworth, who was active in the association, had most game on their manor. The company, however, had apprehended no consequences, and parted at eight o'clock: but Lord Byron, stepping into an empty chamber, and sending the drawer for Mr. Chaworth, or calling him thither himself, took the candle from the waiter, and bidding Mr. Chaworth defend himself, drew his sword. Mr. Chaworth, who was an excellent fencer, ran Lord Byron through the sleeve of his coat, and then received a wound fourteen inches deep into his body. He was carried to his house in Berkeley Street, made his will with the greatest composure, and dictated a paper which, they say, allows it was a fair duel, and died at nine this morning." Lord Byron surrendered to take his trial in Westminster Hall, and was, almost unanimously, found guilty, but discharged on claiming his privilege of peerage under Edward VI.'s statute. The hereditary ill-will between the two families had been suffered to die out in the time of the orphaned heiress of Annesley, and during the summer of 1803 she and Lord Byron were constantly together. The young poet, then only in his sixteenth year, fell passionately in love with the beautiful girl of seventeen, and spent rapturous hours by her side, listening spell-bound to her singing, or roaming over the old terraced garden of Annesley. To him, in truth, it was enchanted ground: "He had no breath, no being, but in hers; She was his voice: he did not speak to her, But trembled on her words; she was his sight, For his eye follow'd hers, and saw with hers, Which colour'd all his objects:—he had ceas'd To live within himself; she was his life, The ocean to the river of his thoughts, Which terminated all." Miss Chaworth by no means shared these ecstatic feelings. A maiden "on the eve of womanhood" seldom if ever smiles upon a stripling younger than herself: and he had the mortification of hearing her say to her maid: "Do you think I could care anything for that lame boy?"—"This speech, as he himself described it, was like a shot through his heart."—Moore. The brief love-dream had ended with the summer holidays. He only saw Miss Chaworth once again in the following year, when she was engaged to be married to Mr. Musters of Colwick Hall. He bravely wished her joy and bade her farewell; then, "Mounting on his steed, he went his way, And never cross'd that hoary threshold more." His childish passion had been no evanescent fancy, but a heart-wound that left an abiding scar. Years afterwards, in one of his memorandum books, he accidentally mentions Miss Chaworth as "My M. A. C. Alas!" he presently adds, "Why do I say my? Our union would have healed feuds in which blood had been shed by our fathers; it would have joined lands broad and rich; it would have joined at least one heart, and two persons not ill-matched in years; and—and—and—what has been the result!" The close of Mrs. Musters' life was in mournful contrast to the golden promise of its opening years. Her married life was unhappy; though surrounded by blooming children, she fell a prey to secret and devouring melancholy, gradually became insane, and died a tragical death. During the Nottingham riots of 1831, Colwick Hall was assailed by a brutal mob, plundered, and set on fire;[1] and its unhappy mistress, driven from her house in the middle of the night, had to seek refuge in a neighbouring plantation. The terror of this midnight flight stamped itself on her sick brain: she never recovered from the shock she had received, and did not long survive it. ↑ "The master of the house was absent; his lady, in delicate health, was forced from her couch to a precipitate flight; led by her young daughter—another Antigone—to a distant part of the grounds; they both remained for hours on the damp earth, the daughter supporting her mother's head on her bosom, and both concealing themselves under a laurel tree. So profound was the terror of these unhappy ladies, that for hours after the wretches had quitted the grounds, the servants sought for their mistress and her daughter in vain. And at last when they found them in the situation I have so feebly endeavoured to describe, half dead with cold and terror, there was no apartment, no couch, no bed of that so lately splendid residence fit to receive them, and they were carried inanimate to the only place which had escaped the incendiaries—a groom's bed, over one of the stables."—J. IV. Croker. | de Chaworth, Patrick IV (I35583)

| 1043 | Biography Since the 11th century, the priory Stoke by Clare in Suffolk had a connection with the Gisney (or Gignei etc) family who had granted them an income from their lands in Haveringland and Whitwell in Norfolk. The cartulary of the priory shows that in the time of King John, in the early 1200s, a William de Gisney was lord (volume 2, charter 573, pp.367-368).[1] The modern editors of the cartulary remark that this William de Gisney is known from Curia Regis court records to have been holding Haveringland in 1226 (citing CRR vol.12 p.2330), and appears more generally in the period 1201 to 1228 (citing CRR volume 7, p. 166, and volume 15 no. 2037).[2] Douglas Richardson has also shown that William was definitely the father of Roger de Gysney who held these lordships next, from about 1230, and who married Joan de Peleville. He posted the following on the Medieval Genealogy newslist.[3] Recently I was able to locate the lawsuit cited by Complete Peerage concerning Sir John de Vaux and his 1st wife, Joan, widow of Roger de Gyney. The lawsuit is dated 1250. [...] Curia Regis Rolls 13 (1959): 129 confirms that Roger de Gyney's wife, Joan, was the daughter of Peter de Peleville: Date: 1227-1230. "Convenit inter Petrum de Pelevill' querentem et Willelmum de Ginney deforciantem de tota terra ipsius Willelmi in Heveringland Dilham et Pichewurth' et alibi, unde placitum conventionis summonitum fuit inter eos in curia domini regis, scilicet quod predictus (sic) Johannes concessit quod decetero terram suam sive redditum non dabit nec vendet nec invadiabit Judeis sive Christianis per quod Rogerus filius et heres predicti Willelmi possit exheredan nisi de consilio et assensu Petri et amicorum utriusque partis. Et preterea idem Willelmus concessit predicto Petro quod, si predictus filius predicti Willelmi obierit priusquam Willelmus pater suus, idem Willelmus faciet Johanne filie ipsius Petri, quam idem Rogerus duxit in uxorem, plenam dotem suam, scilicet terciam partem totius terre sue et redditus cum pertinentiis unde idem Johannes eam dotavit per assensum ejusdem Willelmi patris sui. Idem vero Willelmus providebit eidem Johanne redditum c. solidorum in certo loco ad sustentationem suam, ita scilicet quod idem redditus computabitur eidem Johanne in dotem suam si predictus Rogerus vir suus obierit priusquam Willelmus ..." The Latin text says that in 1227-1230, Roger was the son and heir of William. William had lands in Haveringland, Dilham, Pickworth, and other places. It was proposed that Roger would marry Johanne, the daughter of Peter de Peleville. (As he did. See Roger's profile.) Chronology Concerning Pickworth in Rutland, one of the lands mentioned in the above legal case, the Victoria History of that county gives some records of events in his life.[4] Other events can be added from different sources. In an enquiry into serjeantries in 1198/9, Willemus de Gisnei did castle service in the Norfolk hundred of Eynford, which is where Haveringland and Whitwell are.[5] In the time of King Richard I (1189-1199) or King John (1199-1216), it was William de Gyney or Gioneto who founded the priory of Mountjoy at the family's manor of Heveringland.[6] (VCH Norfolk dates this to the time of Richard I. Dugdale believed it was founded in the time of King John, based on one name in the witness list.[7]) "William de Gyney was apparently holding Pickworth in 1203." (Assize R. (Northants. Rec. Soc. v), nos. 716, 780, 853, 854.) [4] "In 1205 he paid a fine to be excused from supplying wood for repairs at Norwich Castle." (Curia Regis R. iii, 272; Rot. Litt. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 54.)[4] In 1210, Ralf de Stanham was presented to the church of Windham by William de Gisney in the role of Governour of Montjoy priory, by leave of the Abbot of St. Alban's, and the founder.[8] Mountjoy was a foundation of the Gysneys of Heveringland. "He evidently joined in the rebellion against King John, for in 1216 his land in Pickworth was granted to Robert de Peverell." (Rot. Litt. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 251.) [4] "At the same time his lands in Norfolk and Lincoln were granted to Robert de Albeni." (Rot. Litt. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i, 257.)[4] "William de Gyney returned to the allegiance of Henry III and his lands were restored in October 1217." (Rot. Litt. Claus. (Rec. Com.), i. 331.) [4] "William made several presentations to the church of Pickworth in the early years of the reign of Henry III." (Rot. Hug. de Welles (Cant. and York Soc.), i, 80, 167; ii, 131, 193, 216; Wright, History of Rutland, p.107.)[4] "He served as collector of a fifteenth in Norfolk and Suffolk in 1225, and as a Justice of Assize in 1226." (Cal. Pat. R. 1216–25, p. 564; 1225–1232, p. 79.)[4][9][10] In 1230, Stoke by Clare charter 580 (vol 2, p.372) says that Willelmus de Ginney was holding Haveringland. In 1232, Roger de Gisnay is mentioned in the Close Rolls concerning large debts to the Jews of Norwich. (Such debts were common among the bigger lords, or barons in this period. This does not appear to be a smaller landholder.)[11] According to Blomefield: "Roger de Gisneia, lord of this manor in the 18th of Henry III. [1233/4] held of the honour of Gloucester and Clare, and extended into Wichingham, Whitwell, Kerdeston, &c.;"[12] Blomefield continues: "this Roger levied a fine in the 33d of that King [1248/9], to Beringarius, prior of St. Faith's, of Horsham, the advowson of this church".[12] Mother The mother of William de Gyney in the time of King John was named Maud (or Matilda), and William had a brother named Roger, and probably also brothers named Phillip and Frary. Blomefield gives the following evidence under Whitwell:[13] In the 12th of King John [1210/11], a fine was levied between Philip de Gyney, of a mill in Whitwell, which Maud de Gyney, mother of William, held in dower, whereby it was granted to Will. and Maud, and the heirs or Will. who granted license to Philip, and his brother Frary, to build a mill in Hackford, with a watercourse to it, through the land of the said William in Hackford, and Witewell, of the breadth of six, and 5 feet deep. And by a deed, sans date, William de Gyney confirmed to his brother Roger, the grant which the lady his mother had given him of an acre of land, with a messuage, late Ralph's, by the chapel of St. Nicholas in Whitwell, to be held of the said lady during her life, and after of him. The first document Blomefield mentions seems to correspond to one in the Curia Regis Rolls for 1210, which however mentions Philip de Burnham as the brother of Frary involved with the mill in Whitwell, not Philip de Gyney. There is also an earlier record in 1205 involving Matilda, Philip de Burnham and this mill (CRR III, 272 1205 Norf. ). Possible father William's father (or perhaps elder brother, or uncle) seems to have been named Roger, because that is the name of the person who preceded him in his lordships, from about 1175-1180. Stoke by Clare charter 143 (pp. 128-131), dated 30 June 1174, names William de Gisnai as the holder of Haveringland and Whitwell.[1]For more information about him see the Research notes. Stoke by Clare charter 125 (p.98), dated by the editors as being between October 1166 and about 1181, announces the resolution of a legal dispute Roger was involved in.[1] 1173-1182. Stoke by Clare charter 55, pp. 39-40 discusses the share of tithes which this family had long ago granted to that priory, coming from lands in Haveringland and Whitwell in Norfolk. It mentions that the Roger Gignei, Ginnei or Ginnai who made the original grants was the grandfather (avus) of the present Roger. [1] Research notes Baldwin mentioned by Blomefield Instead of William, Blomefield said that the father of Roger de Gysney was named Baldwin. Did such a Baldwin exist? For example might he have another position in this family tree? It is difficult to chose between two options. In his chapter about their original main fief in Haveringland ("Heverland") in Norfolk Blomefield explained as follows:[12] Baldwin de Gisney was living in the 8th year of that King [8 King John = 1206/7], and granted his right in the church of Wichingham to the prior of Longuevile; by Maud his wife, he was father of Roger de Gisneia, lord of this manor in the 18th of Henry III. [=1233/4] held of the honour of Gloucester and Clare, and extended into Wichingham, Whitwell, Kerdeston, &c. A record corresponding to this remark of Blomefield, relating to the church of Witchingham in Norfolk, has been found in the Abbreviato Placitorum records of the time of King John.[14] In it, "Baldwinus de Gisney" confirms the rights of the church there to their long time owners in Longueville. Option 1. One possibility is that this is count Baldwin of Gisnes, or a member of his family, who appear in English records. It is difficult to see any strong connection this Baldwin had to Norfolk, and more importantly to the family of Gisnet, Gyney etc who lived there already several generations. (See below.) Option 2. Could there have been two Baldwins, allowing this Baldwin to be a member of the Norfolk family? Yes. There are several members of the family who appear in only one or two records. Furthermore Do the family comes from Guînes? Blomefield presumed the family had come from Guînes near Calais, and this is repeated by popular writers such as Burke and Copinger. In records of the time, the comital family from Guînes (pronounced ghin, with a hard "g") are often identified by similar "second names" to this Norfolk family, such as "de Gisnes".[15] Often however, their spelling includes a "u" after the "g" and/or an "s" at the end. This never seems to occur with the Norfolk family, and at least in later times it seems their name was pronounced with a soft "j" sound. In early records their name is sometimes given a "t" ending. Other places have similar names in Latin. In Normandy, Guiseniers (modern postcode 27700), was typically spelled as Gisiniacus in Latin, but this had a hard "g". Versions derived from Blomefield Blore, in his history of Rutland which is used by the modern Victoria History of Rutland, cited Blomefield as his authority. But he also made big changes: He used Blomefield's Heverland article for Baldwin and Mathilda, and the grant to Longueville in the 8th year of John. However... He used Blomefield's Whitwell article, mentioning Maud the mother of William, in the 12th year of John.[16] To fit these together, Blore changed the name of their heir from Roger to William, and Roger's generation is not mentioned. Consistent with this, the husband of Joan de Pelville becomes William. Clearly Blore was neither following Blomefield accurately, nor improving upon his work. VCH Rutland used Blore and made this statement: William himself, with Maud de Gyney his mother, widow of Baldwin de Gyney, (Blore, Hist. of Rutl. p.187.) was concerned in a plea as to a mill in Whitwell (co. Norf.) in 1205. It appears that no such document mentions Baldwin. Ancestors before the time of Kings Richard and John Evidence of an 11th century presence in Haveringland: King Stephen [reigned 1135-1154] intervened to protect a Clare vassal; he wrote to Gilbert Earl of Hertford to order that William of Gyney should not be impleaded over his land in Haveringland and Whitwell, Norfolk, since his family had held it from the time of William Rufus.[17] This is published as charter no. 9 in the chartulary of Stoke by Clare (vol.1, p.7). It is dated to 1138-1152[1] It names not only Willelmus de Ginneio, lord in 1138-1152, but also says this William was ruling in the time of Stephen's uncle (avunculus) King Henry I, and had ruled since the death of his father Rogerus de Ginneio, who had been lord in the time of uncle (avunculus) who he called Willelmus Blundus. The cartulary shows that Roger had granted tithes from these lordships to this priory. (See for example charter 37, page 29.) In 1166 when the knights of different baronies were listed, William de Gisnes still held three knights' fees under the Honour of Clare in Suffolk.[18] Keats-Rohan clearly makes a mistake by saying that William's father Roger must have died about 1166. The basis of this error is Clare charter 125 (p.98), announcing the resolution of a legal dispute Roger was involved in. However, it is not dated to 1166, but to any time between October 1166 and about 1181.[19] As shown above, William in the years leading up to 1166 was still the son of Roger who held the lands in the time of King Rufus. And there was a Roger after 1166, not before. It is clear that the succession of the lordship goes Roger, William his son, Roger grandson of the first Roger. After about 1198 comes at least one William. For the continuation, see the chronology above. That a William and a Roger lived in relatively quick succession during the time of Henry II matches what Blomefield writes based on other records:[12] Sir William de Gynento was a witness to the deed of confirmation of Geffrey, son of Bartholomew, son of William de Glanvile, founder of Bromholm priory. Roger de Gyney lived also about the said time, (in King Henry the Second's reign) and was father of Reginald, rector of the church of Heverland in the time of King John. Unfortunately this confirmation charter does not appear in Dugdale's selection of Brumholm charters in his Monasticon.[20] Other counties Apart from the one who appeared in the Clare list under Suffolk, there was also a William de Gisney with one knights' fee in Kent in 1166.[21] Around 1210-1212, in other counties the same name appears. A William de Gisney held 1 fee in Essex in the honour of Peverel of London, and another was once again to be found holding 1 fee in Kent.[22] In other counties, the Testa de Nevill (or Book of Fees) shows: Robert de Gisnes holds one fee in Asle, in the barony of Hugh de Veer, listed under Huntingdonshire and Cambridgeshire in 1235/6 and 1242/3 (Vol.2, pp. 921, 925) Walter de Gisneto held land in Essex or Hertford in 1235/36 (vol.1, p. 488, p.572). Possible brother We have seen William had a brother Roger. VCH Rutland mentions a specific series of records for a Roger from this period. "William was probably brother of Roger de Gyney of Norfolk who, with his son Walter, occurs in 1197 and in the reign of King John, in pleas relating to land in Norfolk." (Abbrev. Plac. (Rec. Com.), 6, 20, 21, 94; Curia Regis R. iii, 101.)[4] This Roger may be a relative who was not lord of Heveringland. The cases stretch into the time of John. These clearly refer to some of the same series of cases involving William de Repham. No son Walter has been found. "In the 9th of Richard I. [1197/8] Roger de Gisnei, impleaded William de Repham for the right of the advowson of the church of Rackey."[23] In the 5th of King John [1203/4], an assize was brought to show if Walter de Evermow had disseised Roger de Gisney of lands in Rackheath. This was in the time of William so it could be a different Roger or else it referred events of the past.[23] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 Mortimer, R. and Harper-Bill, C. (eds.), 1982.

| 1044 | Biography Tintagel and King Arthur: "From about AD 450 until about AD 650 Tintagel was a prosperous and highly significant site, closely involved in trade with the Mediterranean world. The island was covered with many small rectangular buildings, some visible today. A large bank and ditch, also still visible, defended the landward side of the narrow neck, which at this date may have been as high as the land on either side. "After the mid-7th century there is little evidence of activity on the headland of Tintagel for over 500 years. In about 1138 Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain gave the figure of King Arthur, the legendary ruler of Britain, Ireland and large parts of continental Europe, its international fame. "The History contains the earliest written mention of Tintagel in the tale of how Arthur was conceived there by Uther Pendragon, King of Britain, the result of his magically assisted seduction of Queen Igerna (Igraine), wife of Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. "In May 1233 the newly created Earl of Cornwall, Richard, brother of Henry III, bought the 'Island of Tyntagel', together with 'Richard's castle', from Gervase de Tyntagel (whose father, Robert, had changed the family surname from Hornicote to Tintagel).[1] 'Richard's castle' was presumably built by the earl himself, and if so was begun between 1225, when King Henry granted him the county of Cornwall, and 1233, when the transaction took place." "The Cornish were not slow in complaining about the Earl's administration of Cornwall. An opportunity to do so arose in August 1258, at the start of the reform movement, when four knights were appointed in each county to conduct an investigation into all wrongs committed by royal and baronial officials and bailiffs. In Cornwall the commissioners were Reginald de Botreaux, Gervase de Hornacott, Ralph Arundel and ALAN BLOYOU, all of them prominent local knights. (2) With Richard absent in Germany at this time, the election of these commissioners cannot have been subject to direct comital interference. Botreaux, Hornacott, Arundel and BLOYOU were thus probably popular local men, trusted by the people whose complaints they were to hear, and not the Earl's henchmen. Certainly Hornacott and BLOYOU had little reason to be on good terms with the Earl. Gervase de Hornacott had changed his name from Gervase de Tintagel after he lost the bulk of his estate to Richard's ambitions at Tintagel in the 1230s, although there is no clear evidence that he had been either coerced into or cheated by the subsequent exchange." «b»1301«/b», Roger de Carminow, called to reply to the King for his man' of Wynyeton, said that Richard, formerly E. of Cornw., gave to a certain Gervaise de Hornyngcote, his ancestor, the manor of Wynyton, Merthyn, and Tam'ton in exchange for the manor of Bochym. «b»1302«/b», Assize roll: Sarra de Hornyacote mother of Roger de Carmynowe. | de Hornacote, Gervais (I35524)
