HOLDERS of the CASTLE of BERKELEY (IV)

Robert Fitz Harding, who "may bee called Rober the Devout," son ofHarding (d), said to have been a merchant of Bristol, and of great wealthand influence, received from Henry of Anjou, in 1153 or 1154, shortlybefore his accession as Henry II, a grant (among others) of the Castleand "herness " of Berkeley (as above mentioned) which was confirmed bythe said Henry when King, probably in 1155 the first year of his reign,whereby he the said Robert (doubtless) became feudal L.ORD OF BERKELEY.In 1168 he entetained Dermot Mae Murrough, King of Leinster, on hisarrival, at Bristol, to solicit succour from Henry II. He founded, in1141, the Abbey of St. Augustine, at Bristol, of which he afterwardsbecame a canon.

He married Eve (c). He died 5 February 1170/1, aged about 75. His wife,who founded a priory of nuns on St. Michael's hill, Bristol, whereof shedied Prioress, 12 March 1170, was buried with her husband. [CompletePeerage II:124-25, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(d) The parentage of this Harding (living c 1125) has been long and hotlydisputed. He has been termed "son of the King of Denmark" (as in thepetition of 1661), "Mayor of Bristol", and so forth. The view nowgenerally accepted is that he was the son of Eadnoth (killed 1068),"Staller" to King Harold and to Edward the Confessor. E.A. Freemanpronounces this descent "in the highest degree probable." Eyton (in his"Shropshire") devoted much attention to the subject.

(c) She is alleged to have been sister of Durand, daughter of SirEstmond, by Godiva, his wife, a pedigree which J. H. Round denounces as"obviously absurd".

1056985857. Eva FitzEstmond 1, 2, 3 was born about 1099 in Gloucestershire, England. She died 4, 5 on 12 Mar 1169/1170 in St Michael's Hill, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England (as a prioress). She was buried in St Augustine's Priory, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. [Parents]

He [Robert FitzHarding] married Eve (c). He died 5 February 1170/1, agedabout 75. His wife, who founded a priory of nuns on St. Michael's hill,Bristol, whereof she died Prioress, 12 March 1170, was buried with herhusband. [Complete Peerage II:124-25, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

HOLDERS of the CASTLE of BERKELEY (III)

ROGER DE BERKELEY, son and heir, who completed the building of the Castleof Berkeley. He suffered much in the wars between Stephen and the EmpressMaud, at the hands of Walter, son of Miles, Earl of Hereford. He wasdeprived of the Manor of Berkeley, &c., about 1152, apparently forrefusing to recognise the authorIty of either party, though he was soonafterwards restored to the Honour Of Dursley (c). He died about 1170,leaving issue. The Castle and "herness" of Berkeley were granted by theKing [to Robert FitzHarding]. [Complete Peerage II:124, (transcribed byDave Utzinger)]

(c) The Dursley Lordship continued in his descendants in the male line(the issue of his son and heir, Roger de Berkeley, by Helen, 1st daughterof Robert Fitz Harding, his successor in the lands of Berkeley for eightgenerations, when Nicholas Berkeley, the heir male, died s.p. in 1382. Bythe heir general, Robert Wykes, it was alienated in 1564. In 1404, by thedeath of Sir Nicholas Berkeley, of Coberley, co. Gloucester, the whole ofthe male issue of Roger, the founder of this race, became extinct.

1056985860. John de Somery , of Little Crawley, Sir 1, 2, 3 was born about 1135 in Little Crawley, Buckinghamshire, England. He died 4 before 1195. He married 5 Hawise de Paynel in 1st husband. John was born about 1125.

SOMERY

Observations.- Nothing is known of the origin of the family of Somery.John de Somery, its first representative, who m. Hawise Paynel, seems tohave held in Little Crawley, Bucks, under Gervase Paynel; but this mayhave been his wife's maritagium. No link between John and the de Someryfamilies of Essex, Kent, Herts and Cambridgeshire, or of Sussex, or ofSomerset or Dorset, or of Surrey, is discoverable. There was an Agnes deSomery who, before 1170, held under Gervase Payne], in Churchill, Worcs;but she has not been identified. Edmondson and others have suggested thatSomery of Dudley sprang from Ascelin, called Gouel de Perceval, ancestorof the Lovels of Castle Cary, Som. There appears to be no evidence forthis beyond the fact that in two generations a younger son bore theadditional name of Perceval. William de Somery, who succeeded his brotherRalph and died in 1222, is described variously as William de Somery,Percevall de Duddelegh or de Sumery, and William Percevall de Somery.Again, in 1278 and in 1300-01, John, younger brother of Roger de Somery,is styled Persevallus de Somery, and John Perceval de Somery; and he alsoappears in the Parliamentary Roll of Arms as Sire Perceval de Somery ofWarwickshire, bearing Azure, 2 lions passant gold; Roger de Somery borethe coat of the Paynels, viz. Gold, 2 lions passant azure. Lodge statesthat Sir Roger Perceval, who was living in 1287, was also known as SirRoger de Somery; but no authority is given, and none has been traced. Hewas certainly not identical with the contemporary Roger de Somery ofDudley.

JOHN DE SOMERY married Hawise, sister and heir of Gervase, and daughterof Ralph PAYNEL, who had inherited the barony of William FitzAnsculph.John died before Gervase. Hawise survived him, and married, 2ndly, RogerDE BERKELEY. [Complete Peerage XII/1:109-10, (transcribed by DaveUtzinger)]

1056985862. John "The Marshal" FitzGilbert , of Rockley 1, 2, 3, 4 was born 5 before 1109 in Winterbourne Monkton, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. He died 6 before 29 Sep 1165 in Rockley, Marlborough, Wiltshire, England. He married 7 Sibyl de Salisbury in 1142 in 2nd wife. [Parents]

John FitzGilbert, styled also John the Marshal, 1st son and heir [ofGilbert], a party to the suit aforesaid, succeeded to his father's landsand office in or shortly before 1130, when he owed 22.13.4 marks forthem. He then held land in Wiltshire, and owed 40 marks silver for theoffice of supplying fodder for the royal horses in his charge, as well as30 marks silver for the land and daughter of Walter Pipard. He was withHenry I in Normandy in 1137 and in England in 1138, in which year hefortified the castles of Marlborough and Ludgershall. In 1140 he heldMarlborough for the King, and captured Robert FitzHubert, who had takenthe royal castle of Devizes. After Stephen had been taken prisoner atLincoln, John joined the Empress, with whom he was at Reading in May, atOxford in July, and at Winchester in Aug-Sep 1141, where in the finalrout he was cut off and surrounded in Wherwell Abbey, but escaped withthe loss of an eye and other wounds (b). In 1142 he was again with theEmpress at Oxford, and some 2 years later at Devizes. In 1144 he wasraiding the surrounding country form Marlborough Castle and oppressingthe clergy. He was with Maud's son Henry at Devizes in 1149 and 1153;and in 1152 Newbury Castle was defended by his constable againstStephen. After Henry's accession John was granted Crown lands inWiltshire worth 82 marks per annum, including Marlborough Castle; but hehad to surrender the castle in 1158. He was present at the Council ofClarendon in 1164; soon after which he sued Thomas Becket for part of hismanor at Pagham, in Sussex. John was a benefactor to the priory ofBradenstoke, the abbey of Troarn, and the Templars.

He m., 1stly, Aline, who may have been the daughter and heir of WalterPipard. He is said to have repudiated her circa 1141, and he m., 2ndly,Sibyl, sister of Patrick de Salisbury, 1st Earl of WIltshire, anddaughter of Walter de Salisbury, hereditary sheriff of Wiltshire andconstable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources(Chaworth). John d. in 1165, before Michaelmas. [Complete PeerageX:Appendix G:93-95]

(b) According to the poem, John escaped from Winchester on foot toMarlborough, and there assembled troops, with which he inflicted muchloss on the King and his partisans, and when Stephen marched towardsLudgershall, the Marshal waylaid and defeated the royal forces. Afterthis Patrick de Salisbury (whom the poet prematurely makes an Earl) issaid to have made many attacks on the Marshal, with the King's support;until the feud was settled by John repudiating his 1st wife and marryingPatrick's sister.

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

John Marshal, whom the Gesta Stephani rather unkindly describes as 'alimb of hell and the root of all evil' was a man who loved warfare, andplayed the game of politics with great success. At first he supportedStephen but, when he began to realise the failings of the King and thepotentialities of Matilda's party, he changed sides. Almost immediatelyhe proved by a consummate act of bravery and hardihood, that he was worthhaving: escorting Matilda to safety in his castle at Ledgershall, Johnfound that the party was going dangerously slowly because Matilda wasriding side-saddle, so he persuaded her to ride astride, and stoppedbehind to delay the pursuers at Wherwell. His force was soon overpoweredby the numbers of the enemy, and John took refuge with one of his knightsin the Abbey. The opposing party promptly set fire to the church, andJohn and his knight had to take cover in the tower, John threatening tokill his knight if he made any move to surrender. As the lead of the roofbegan to melt and drop on the two soldiers, putting out one of John'seyes, the enemy moved off, convinced that they were dead. They escaped,in a terrible state, but triumphant, to John's castle.

He plainly expected his children to be as tough as himself, as anincident of the year 1152, when William was about six, will show. KingStephen went to besiege Newbury Castle, which Matilda had given John todefend; the castellan, realising that provisions and the garrison wereboth too low to stand a long siege, asked for a truce to inform hismaster. This was normal practice, for if the castellan were not at oncerelieved, he could then surrender without being held to have let hismaster down. Now John had not sufficient troops to relieve the castle, sohe asked Stephen to extend the truce whilst he, in turn, informed hismistress, and agreed to give William as a hostage, promising not toprovision and garrison the castle during the truce. This he promptly did,and when he received word from Stephen that the child would be hung if hedid not at once surrender the castle, he cheerfully replied that he hadhammer and anvils to forge a better child than William. [Who's Who inthe Middle Ages, John Fines, Barnes & Noble Books, New York, 1995]

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

John Mareschall, attaching himself to the fortunes of Maud against KingStephen, was with Robert, the consul, Earl of Gloucester, at the siege ofWinchester Castle, when the party of the empress sustained so signal adefeat. Upon the accession of Henry II, however, in 1154, his fidelitywas amply rewarded by considerable grants in the co. Wilts; and in the10th of that monarch's reign, being then marshal, he laid claim, for thecrown, to one of the manors of the see of Canterbury from the prelate,Thomas à Becket, who about that period, had commenced his contest withthe king. To this John s. his son and heir, John Mareschall. [Sir BernardBurke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke'sPeerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 357, Marshal, Barons Marshal]

BIR-MAR-DEA-BUR: Bk, Medieval Knight by Stephen Turnbull. Eeanor of Aquitaine, one of the richest women in Europe was divorced from her husband, Louis VII, King of France, and married a certain Henry Plantagenet. From the point of view of the King of France there could have been no worse alliance. This Henry Plantagenet had recently had recently inherited Maine, Touraine and Anjou from his father, and was already both Duke of Normandy and Suzerain of Brittany. 1154, on the death of King Stephen, Henry became King Henry II of England. The amalgamation of their territories into what was to become the Angevin empire, the glory of Plantagenets, would provoke the virtue of inter-nationalism and the vice of conflict, between England and France for the next three centuries. Henry II (of England) (1133-89), King of England (1154-89), first monarch of the house of Anjou, or Plantagenet, an important administrative reformer, who was one of the most powerful European rulers of his time. Born March 5, 1133, at Le Mans, France, Henry became Duke of Normandy in 1151. The following year, on the death of his father, he inherited the Angevin territories in France. By his marriage in 1152 to Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry added vast territories in southwestern France to his possessions. Henry claimed the English kingship through his mother, Matilda. She had been designated the heiress of Henry I but had been deprived of the succession by her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who made himself king. In 1153 Henry defeated Stephen's armies in England and compelled the king to choose him as his successor; on Stephen's death, the following year, Henry became king. During the first few years of his reign Henry quelled the disorders that had developed during Stephen's reign, regained the northern counties of England, which had previously been ceded to Scotland, and conquered North Wales. In 1171-72 he began the Norman conquest of Ireland and in 1174 forced William the Lion, King of the Scots, to recognize him as overlord. In 1164 Henry became involved in a quarrel with Thomas Becket, whom he had appointed archbishop of Canterbury. By the Constitutions of Clarendon, the King decreed that priests accused of crimes should be tried in royal courts; Becket claimed that such cases should be handled by ecclesiastical courts, and the controversy that followed ended in 1170 with Becket's murder by four of Henry's knights. Widespread indignation over the murder forced the king to rescind his decree and recognize Becket as a martyr. Although he failed to subject the church to his courts, Henry's judicial reforms were of lasting significance. In England he established a centralized system of justice accessible to all freemen and administered by judges who traveled around the country at regular intervals. He also began the process of replacing the old trial by ordeal with modern court procedures. From the beginning of his reign, Henry was involved in conflict with Louis VII, King of France, and later with Louis's successor, Philip II, over the French provinces that Henry claimed. A succession of rebellions against Henry, headed by his sons and furthered by Philip II and by Eleanor of Aquitaine, began in 1173 and continued until his death at Chinon, France, on July 6, 1189. Henry was succeeded by his son Richard I, called Richard the Lion-Hearted.

BIR-MAR-DEA-BUR: Bk, Medieval Knight by Stephen Turnbull. !Queen Eleanor died in 1204, by which time her son John was on the throne of England, and the Angevin Empire was rapidly disintegrating. Only Aquitaine seemed permanent, helped by the loyalty of the Gascon people to their distant Duke. To these inhabitants the King of France was more remote and foreign' than the King of England. Richard the Lionheart had reinforced his position by frequent sojouns in Bordeaux and Poitiers. His mother Queen Eleanor preferred to spend as much time as possible there, but the trouble endured by John made him an infrequent visitor, and Henry III waited fourteen years into his reign before visiting the Duchy.
