    Notes:

    ROBERT I d'ESTOUTEVILLE of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, France arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorkshire, England. Robert, nicknamed "Grandbois," was included in the list of Knights who accompanied their Duke GUILLAUME to conquer England in 1066. He was a Crusader in 1097.

    The Estoutevilles were a great seigneurial family whose senior line was based at Vallemont in the Caux district of eastern Normandy. They claimed descent from a legendary Viking ancestor, Stoot (or Estout) the Dane. Robert I d’Estouteville participated in the Norman conquest of England, and his several sons by a second, Saxon, wife produced the English Stutevill families.

    In 1086, the estates of Hugh fitzBaldric, Domesday lord of Cottingham, were divided after his death and the bulk of his lands in Yorkshire passed to Robert I de Stuteville. However, by 1105, Robert was a supporter of Robert III Duke of Normandy and Robert Curthose. He was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life.

    Robert I d'Estouteville died in 1066 of starvation in an English prison (exact location unknown).

    His lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray. His son and heir, Robert II de Stuteville, did not hold lands in England and it was not until the reign of Stephen that Robert III, son and heir of Robert II, recovered Cottingham.

    He was a benefactor of St Mary's abbey, York, Durham priory and the church at Lincoln. An entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert II, Gradulf and William. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz-Hugh de Grandmesnil, whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae.

    The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 7 Sep 2002, by Rosie Bevan:
    From: "Rosie Bevan" (rbevan AT paradise.net.nz)
    Subject: Stuteville of Cottingham
    Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
    Date: 2002-09-07 03:43:36 PST

    The posts on the Stutevilles have generated a few private queries about the main English line. So for those interested, here is what is known of the Stutevilles of Cottingham, derived mainly from C.T.Clay, Early Yorkshire Charters, v.9.

    In 1276 and 1282 surveys compiled of the Cottingham estate revealed that it consisted of a capital messuage of a manor, with a double ditch around the court, surrounded by a wall, with a garden, dovecote, fishery, 1455 acres of arable land, 433 acres of meadow, 364 acres of pastures, a park with a circuit of 4 leagues, in which the game were estimated at 500 wild beasts, four woods, three water mills and one wind mill. In addition there were 74 free tenants paying rent, 92 bondsmen and 137 cottars. Three advowsons belonged to the manor - the church of Cottingham worth 200 marcs p.a, the church of Roule worth 100 marcs and the church of Etton at 50 marcs p.a. The total value per annum of the estate was estimated at L435 2s 3d.

    1. ROBERT I de Stuteville of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorks. He was amongst those granted the lands forfeited by Hugh fitz Baldric in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire soon after 1087 but lost them owing to his support of Robert Curthose, and was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life. The lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray, but partially recovered by Robert I's grandson, Robert III de Stuteville. He was a benefactor of Durham and an entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert, Gradulf and William. In a claim made by his great grandson William, he was described as Robert Grandboeuf. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz Hugh de Grandmesnil whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae.

    ** 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]

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.

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.

    “JUDITH OF LENS, born about 1054. She married after January 1070 WALTHEOF, Earl of Northumberland, lord of Potton, Bedfordshire, Waltharnstow, Essex, Conington, Leighton Bromswold, Little Catford, and Sawtry, Huntingdonshire, Barnack, East Farndon, Fotheringay, Harringworth, and Lilford, Northamptonshire, etc., son and heir of Siward, Earl of Northumberland, by Ælfflaed, daughter of Earl Ealdred. They had two daughters, Maud [Queen of Scotland] and Alice. He was still young at the death of his father in 1055. He was active against the Norman in the northern counties and especially at York in 1069. In 1070 he made his peace with King William the Conqueror. He occurs as one of the witnesses to King William's charter to Wells dated 1068. He was present at the marriage of Ralph de Wader at Exning, Cambridgeshire, where the guests entered into a conspiracy against the king. In this he was to some slight extent implicated, but acting on the advise of Archbishop Lanfranc, he crossed over to Normandy to the king, and disclosed the matter to him. The conspiracy having been crushed, the king kept Waltheof with him. But he was accused by his wife, Judith, of more than a mere knowledge of the plot. After a year's deliberation, during which he was imprisoned at Winchester, Waltheof was executed at Winchester, Hampshire 31 May 1075 (or 1076). Two weeks afterwards the king allowed his body to be removed to Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, where the abbot buried him in the chapterhouse; his remains were subsequently translated into the church near the altar. At an unknown date, Judith was granted the manor of Elstow, Bedfordshire by her uncle, King William the Conqueror. Sometime prior to 1086, she founded a nunnery at Elstow and endowed it with the vill. She was living in 1086, and presumably died about 1090.

    Judith was a niece of William the Conqueror. She was a daughter of his sister Adelaide of Normandy, Countess of Aumale and Lambert II, Count of Lens.
    In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children. Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.

    In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Judith betrayed Waltheof to her uncle, who had Waltheof beheaded on 31 May 1076. After Waltheof's execution Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. Judith refused to marry Simon and she fled the country to avoid William's anger. William then temporarily confiscated all of Judith's English estates. Simon, later, married, as his second wife, Judith's daughter, Maud, as her first husband.
    Judith founded Elstow Abbey in Bedfordshire around 1078. She also founded churches at Kempston and Hitchin.
    She had land-holdings in 10 counties in the Midlands and East Anglia. Her holdings included land at:
    • Earls Barton, Northamptonshire
    • Great Doddington, Northamptonshire
    • Grendon, Northamptonshire
    • Merton, Oxfordshire
    • Piddington, Oxfordshire
    • Potton, Bedfordshire

    . In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children - Maud de Lens aka Matilda (1074-1130), Judith (1075-1137) and Adelese aka Alice (c1075/6-1126). Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.

    In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Some sources claim that Judith betrayed Waltheof to the bishop of Winchester, who informed her uncle, the king. Other sources say that Waltheof was innocent and that it was he who notified the bishop and king of the plot. Waltheof was beheaded on 31 May 1076 at St. Giles Hill, near Winchester.

    After Waltheof's execution, Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton by her uncle, William. Judith refused to marry Simon and fled the country to avoid William's anger. He then (temporarily) confiscated all Judith's English estates. Simon married Judith's daughter, Maud, in or before 1090.

    Notes:

    Maud, or Matilda, was the queen consort of King David I of Scotland. She was the great-niece of William the Conqueror and the granddaughter of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. Her parents were Waltheof, the Anglo-Saxon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and his Norman wife Judith of Lens. Her father was the last of the major Anglo-Saxon earls to remain powerful after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Her mother was William the Conqueror's niece. Through her ancestors, the Counts of Boulogne, Maud also was a descendant of Alfred the Great and Charles the Bald, and a cousin of Godfrey of Bouillon.

    Maud married Simon de Senlis (or St Liz) in about 1090. Earlier, her great-uncle William the Conqueror had tried to get Maud's mother, Judith, to marry Simon. Simon received the honour of Huntingdon (whose lands stretched across much of eastern England) probably in right of his wife from William Rufus before the end of the year 1090. Maud and Simon had three known children: Matilda of St Liz (Maud), who married first, Robert Fitz Richard of Tonbridge, and second, Saer De Quincy; Simon of St Liz; and Saint Waltheof of Melrose.

    Maud's first husband Simon died sometime after 1111, and Maud next married David, the brother-in-law of Henry I of England, in 1113. Through this marriage, David gained control over Maud's vast estates in England to add to his own lands in Cumbria and Strathclyde. David and Maud had four children (two sons and two daughters): Malcolm, who died young; Henry; Claricia, who never married; and Hodierna, who also never married.

    In 1124, David became King of Scots. Maud's two sons by different fathers, Simon and Henry, would later vie for the Earldom of Huntingdon.

    Maud died in 1130 or 1131 and was buried at Scone Abbey in Perthshire, but she appears in a charter of dubious origin dated 1147.

    Maud of Huntingdon appears as a character in Elizabeth Chadwick's novel "The Winter Mantle" (2003), as well as Alan Moore's novel "Voice of the Fire" (1995) and Nigel Tranter's novel "David the Prince" (1980).

    Matilda married of Scotland, King David I in 1113 in Scotland. David (son of of Scotland, Malcolm III and Aetheling, Queen of Scotland and Saint Margaret) was born on 31 Dec 1080 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; was christened in 1124 in Scotland; died on 24 May 1153 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England; was buried on 24 May 1153 in Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

    “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
    “MAUD DE SENLIS, married in 1112 ROBERT FITZ RICHARD, of Little Dunmow, Essex, Baynard's Castle, London, Cratfield, Suffolk, etc., Steward of Kings Henry I and Stephen, 5th son of Richard Fitz Gilbert, of Bienfaite and Orbec, Normandy, Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, by Rohese, daughter of Walter Giffard, of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire [see CLARE 1 for his ancestry]. They had one son, Walter, and one daughter, Maud. He witnessed a number of charters of King Henry I. Sometime before 1136 he gave all his part of the water of Stour Mere, for the souls of himself and his ancestors, and for the love of his kinsman, Gerard Giffard the prior, to Stoke by Clare Priory, Suffolk. He accompanied King Stephen to York and Exeter in 1136. ROBERT FITZ RICHARD died in 1137, after 28 November, and was buried at St. Neot's Priory, Cambridgeshire. His widow, Maud, married (2rid) between 1137 and 1140 (as his 1st wife) SAHER DE QUINCY (or QUENCY), of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire and Wimpole, Cambridgeshire, and, in right of his 1st wife, of East Bradenham, Norfolk and Daventry, Northamptonshire; and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. They had two sons, Robert and Saher, and one daughter, Alice.

    Sometime before 1176 Maud granted the church of East Bradenham, Norfolk to Norwich Cathedral with the consent of her son, Walter Fitz Robert. At an unknown date, with consent of Walter her son, she granted to Maurice Fitz Geoffrey all her dower lands in Essex and London, which William Fitz Walcher formerly held. He witnessed a charter of Simon son of Simon Earl of Northampton in 1153-7. His wife, Maud, was living in 1158. In 1158 he was pardoned 25s. danegeld in Northamptonshire. Sometime after 1163 he granted Sibton Abbey 20 acres of land from his demesne and 30 acres of broken heath in the village of Tuddenham, Suffolk. At an unknown date, Saher granted the canons of Dunmow, Essex a yearly rent of 10s. issuing out of the lordship of East Bradenham, Norfolk. Saher married (2nd) after 1165 ASCELINE PEVEREL, widow of Geoffrey de Waterville (occurs c.1138-61, dead in 1162), of Ailsworth and Upton (in Castor), Northamptonshire, and daughter of Robert Peverel, by his wife, Adelicia. They had no issue. She was co-heiress in 1148 to her brother, William Peverel, of Dover, by which she inherited a one-quarter share of the barony of Bourn, Cambridgeshire. Sometime between 1161 and 1172, she and her son, Ralph de Waterville, conceded to Shrewsbury Abbey a third of Crugelton and Slepe, Shropshire, as given previously by her uncle, Hamon Peverel. Sometime in the 1170s Saher confirmed William [de Belvoir] and his son, Reynold [de Oakley], in their possession of the manor of Great Childerley (in Childerley), Cambridgeshire. SAHER DE QUINCY died in 1190 (or about 1193).

    Notes:

    “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
    “ALICE DE SENLIS, married ROGER [FITZ WILLIAM] DE HUNTINGFIELD, of Huntingfield, Linstead, and Mendham, Suffolk, Frampton, Huttoft, and Southorpe, Lincolnshire, East Bradenham, Norfolk, etc., son and heir of William Fitz Roger de Huntingfield, by Sibyl, daughter of Roger de Gigny. He was born before 1145. They had four sons, William, Roger, Thomas, and John. About 1180-83, by permission of her husband, Roger, Alice gave land and pasture which she held in Tytton (in Wyberton), Lincolnshire to Stixwould Priory. In 1183 Maurice de Craon acknowledged his rights to various manors in Lincolnshire, in exchange for the manor of Warneborne. In 1189 he had a dispute with the Prior of Longeville concerning the advowson of Harleton, Cambridgeshire. He subsequently took the case to the king's court, and a decision reached at Westminster in 1196 in the presence of Hubert Walter. In 1196 the Longeville monks agreed that the lord. of the manor shall nominate to the rectory, in return for a pension from the church; he in turn promised that if the Bishop will not increase the pension of the monks from 20s. to 40s., he will himself pay the money. In the period, 1198-1204, he gave Mendham Priory a pasture in Mendham, Suffolk and a water mill called `Kingesholme.' In 1199 he gave 200 marks for 15 librates of land of the honour of Lancaster in Norfolk and Suffolk. In 1200 Roger de Huntingfield was present when William the Lion, King of Scots, paid homage to King John at Lincoln. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his wife's brother, Saher de Quincy, to Sibton Abbey. At an unknown date, he confirmed a gift of Thomas de Multon to Spalding Abbey. ROGER DE HUNTINGFIELD died in 1204. His wife, Alice, died the same year.

    [Note: Evidence of the maiden name of Alice de Senlis (died 1204), mother of William de Huntingfield, the Magna Carta baron, is provided by her own charter to Stixwould Priory dated c.1180-3 [see Hallam Settlement & Society (1965): 51; Wilkinson Women in 13th Cent. Lincolnshire (2007): 174-175]. Alice has been identified by one recent historian as "perhaps" the daughter of Maud de Senlis, wife successively of Robert Fitz Richard (de Clare) (died 1136) and Saber de Quincy I [see Wilkinson Women in 13th Cent. Lincolnshire (2007): 175; Franklin Cartulary of Darentry Priory (Pubs. of Northamptonshire Rec. Soc. 35) (1988): xx-xxi, 2-4]. Another historian states Alice "was probably related to the [Senlis] earls of Northampton" [see Hatton Book of Seals (1950): 201]. Surviving charters indicate that Alice de Senlis' husband, Roger de Huntingfield, witnessed charters for both of Maud de Senlis' sons, Walter Fitz Robert and Saber de Quincy II [see Hatton Book of Seals (1950): 194, 201]. Roger de Huntingfield likewise held property at East Bradenham, Norfolk, the chief manor of which was previously held by Maud de Senlis, who gave the church there sometime before 1176 to Norwich Cathedral [see Blomefield Essay towards a Top. Hist. of Norfolk 6 (1807): 134-138; Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 56, 58; Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 6(1) (1830): 148-149; Dodwell Charters of the Norwich Cathedral Priory 1 (Pubs. Pipe Roll Soc. n.s. 40) (1974): 180-183; Ward Women of the English Nobility & Gentry 1066-1500 (1995): 49-50]. In 1200 Roger de Huntingfield was present when William the Lion, King of Scots, paid homage to King John at Lincoln [see Stubbs Chronica Magistri Rogeri de Honedene 4 (Rolls Ser. 51(4)) (1871): 141-142]. Also present on this occasion were Roger le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, Saber de Quincy IV, William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury, Robert de Roos, and William de Vescy, all of whom were near kinsfolk or related by marriage to King William the Lion. If Alice de Senlis, wife of Roger de Huntingfield, was the daughter of Maud de Senlis, it would make Alice a first cousin of King William the Lion. Given the chronology, passage of lands, naming patterns, etc., it seems virtually certain that Alice de Senlis was the daughter of Maud de Senlis and her 2nd husband, Saber de Quincy I, and that Alice's maritagium included Senlis family property at East Bradenham, Norfolk].”
