The baronage of England, or, An historical account of the lives and most memorable actions of our English nobility in the Saxons time to the Norman conquest, and from thence, of those who had their rise before the end of King Henry the Third's reign deduced from publick records, antient historians, and other authorities / by William Dugdale ...

Earls of Gloucester.

THE first that enjoyed this Title after the Norman-conquest, was Robert, onea 1.1 of the Illegitimate Sons of King Henry the First; who taking to Wifeb 1.2 Maud (by some called c 1.3 Mabell) the eldest of the four Daughters and Heirs to Robert Fitz-Hamon, hadd 1.4 in her right the whole Honour of Gloucester; as alsoe 1.5 a great Inheritance in Normandy,f 1.6 and all the Land of Hamo Dapifer his Wifes Uncle. And, becauseg 1.7 it was not much honourable to be enriched with those vast Possessions without some name of Dig∣nity; he was advancedh 1.8 to the Earldom of Gloucester, by the King (his Father.) After which, in Anno 1119. (20 Hen. 1.) he attendedi 1.9 him in that famous Battel at Brennevill against the French; and in 23 Hen. 1. wask 1.10 with him at the taking of the Castle of Brion.

In Anno 1127. (28 Hen. 1.) King Henry dis∣cerning all his Male issue lost, and no likelihood of more Children; and, therefore requiringl 1.11 an oath of F••alty unto Maud the Empress (his only surviving Child) and her Heirs; this Earl Robert, amongst others, tookm 1.12 the same accordingly.

It is saidn 1.13 that King Henry, on his death-bed, gave him sixty thousand pounds; which money lay then at Faleise.

And although upon the death of that King, which hapned 1 Dec. Anno 1135. he forboreo 1.14 to come into England: nevertheless, before the end of that year he arrivedp 1.15. Whereupon King Ste∣phen (who had usurped the Crown) grew much q 1.16 perplexed; and therefore to captivate the peo∣ple, publickly sworer 1.17 that he would Govern by the Laws: whereupon, not only the Bishops did their F••al••ys 1.18 to him, but this Earl performed his Homaget 1.19, upon conditionu 1.20 that Stephen should permit him to enjoy his Honour.

Nevertheless after this, viz. in Anno 1138. (3 Steph.) having builtx 1.21 the Castle of Bristoll, and mannedy 1.22 it, with otherz 1.23 strong Holds against that King; he confederateda 1.24 with Milo Consta∣ble of England, and wentb 1.25 beyond-Sea for the Empress (she being then in Anjou) assuringc 1.26 her, that within five months space she should obtain the whole Realm, as the Nobility of England had formerly swornd 1.27 to her Father. And in the month of Iuly broughte 1.28 her over, with a great power, unto Portsmouth; whence having carried her tof 1.29 Arundell Castle, where she hadg 1.30 honour∣able reception from Queen Adeliza her Mother-in-law (Widow of King Henry the First) and then Wife to William Earl of Arundell, he rodeh 1.31 with ten Knights, and as many Archers on horse-back, first to Walingford, and thence to Gloucester; divulgingi 1.32 her arrival to Brien Fitz-Count at Walingford, and Milo Constable of England at Gloucester. Which news was so acceptable to them, that they forthwith preparedk 1.33 to arm on her behalf.

Then he marched tol 1.34 Worcester, and upon the seventh Ides of December tookm 1.35 that City. Like∣wise n 1.36 in Aprill following, at the instanceo 1.37 of Raphe Painell, he entredp 1.38 Notingham, and having Plunderedq 1.39 the Inhabitants, Burntr 1.40 the whole Town.

And in Anno 1141. (5 Steph.) sailings 1.41 into Normandy, carryedt 1.42 with him certain Hostages from divers Noblemen of England who were friends to the Empress; desiringu 1.43 that the Earl of Anjou (her Husband) should there keep them, and come over himself for recovery of this King∣dom, as the right of his Wife and Son.

After which (viz. the next ensuing year) having advertisementx 1.44 that King Stephen had beleagur'd Lincoln, which the Earl of Chester then held for the Empress, he camey 1.45 with a great power of the Welch, a••d joyningz 1.46 with others to raise the Siege, commandeda 1.47 the Rear of that Army.

And when both sides were drawn out for Bat∣tel, made an Orationb 1.48 to the Souldiers. First telling the Earl of Chester (his Son-in-law) who offered to lead on the Army; that, Being a person noble of Birth, and excelling in Valour, the Honour to strike the first stroke was not unworthy of him: but, quoth he, that which incites me to fight, is the madness and perjury of the King (who had sworn Fealty to the Empress in the time of King Henry the First;) wherefore, there being no retreat, we must either conquer or dye: It is therefore necessary that he who hath no other refuge, should have re∣course to his Valour. Behold (said he) against whom it is that you are to fight, and what manner of men they are! Here is against you the Earl of Mellent, a most deceitful person, having iniquity in his heart, fraud in his lips, and sloth in his actions. Next there is the Earl of Albemarle, a drunkard, but no Souldier: and then there is Simon Earl of Northampton, a man of words only, who never makes performance of his promise, &c.

Soon after which the fightc 1.49 began, and was fiercely maintained for a while on each part; but at length the King seeing his Army routed, yield∣ed d 1.50 himself to this Earl, and was sent Prisonere 1.51 to Bristoll.

Upon which success the Empress beingf 1.52 too much elated, cameg 1.53 first to Cirencester, so to Winchester, where she was solemnlyh 1.54 received with Procession by Henry de Blois (the King's Bro∣ther) then Bishop there; and afterwards toi 1.55 Lon∣don, with purposek 1.56 to treat of the state of the Realm, where she had very honourablel 1.57 reception by the Citizens: but applicationm 1.58 being made to her by the Queen (Wife of King Stephen) that the King (her Husband) might be enlarged; on con∣dition n 1.59 that he should render the Kingdom to her, and live retiredly in some Cell; or perpetually to travel as a Pilgrim; she would by no means yieldo 1.60 thereto.

On the other side, the Citizens Petitioningp 1.61 her that they might enjoy the Laws of S. Edward, and not be obliged to those promulged by her Father, which they said were grievous; sheq 1.62 utterly re∣fused to hearken to them.

Whereupon the people growing enragedr 1.63, re∣solved s 1.64 to seise upon her; of which having adver∣tisement, she forthwith sentt 1.65 away her Houshold-stuff, and fledu 1.66 to Oxford, where she expected a full Rendezvous of all dispersed Souldiers; and com∣manded x 1.67 that the King, then in Prison at Bristoll, should be more strictly kept, and put in Fetters: and so after a few days, with this Earl of Glouce∣ster her Brother, she marchedy 1.68 to Winchester, and besiegedz 1.69 the Castle there, in which the Bi∣shop then was. Who seeing his condition, sent a 1.70 to the Queen, and those of the Nobles that were friends to King Stephen, to come speedily to his relief. Which accordingly they didb 1.71, and after them the Londonersc 1.72; whereby a powerful Army was soon got together, which blocking upd 1.73 all Avenues to the City, kepte 1.74 Provisions from the

Besiegers, and so galled themf 1.75 by frequent skir∣mishes; as that, being thus distressed on the one side, and allarm'd by divers bold sallies from those within the Castle on the other (by whom likewise a great part of the City wasg 1.76 fired) she senth 1.77 three hundred of her men to Werwell-Abbey (six miles distant) there to erect a Fort; by which means the Royalists might be so disturbed, as that some Provisions might with more security be brought to her. But this attempt took no good effect, for the Royalists being made aware of it, camei 1.78 sud∣denly to Werwell; and making great slaughter k 1.79 amongst those who had begun that work, occa∣sioned such a consternation upon the Empress and her party; that they were forthwith necessitated for prevention of their ruine, to break through the Ene∣my byl 1.80 flight. Which, that she her self might the more securely do, she crept intom 1.81 a Coffin, and caused it to be carriedn 1.82 as a dead Corps to Gloucester. But upon that her flight, this Earl passingo 1.83 thence another way, was pursued closely; and at Stou∣bregge takenp 1.84, together with the Earl Warren and many others; and thereupon broughtq 1.85 to the Queen by the Bishop of Winchester, she being then in that City; whence she sentr 1.86 him by Wil∣liam de ••pre (who then had the power of Kent) to be imprisoned in Rochester-Castle.

After which, though offers 1.87 was soon made to release him, in exchange for the King; he would nott 1.88 hearken to it: but at length, about the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy-Cross yielding u 1.89 thereto they were both of them setx 1.90 at liberty.

Being thusy 1.91 again at large, and the King en∣deavouring z 1.92 to Besiege Walingford, where the Empress then was, (assisteda 1.93 by the Earl of Che∣ster and Hugh Bigod) he hindredb 1.94 that design.

Thence he followed the King toc 1.95 Winchester, and beatd 1.96 him off the making a Castle which he intended there, and shortly after that sailede 1.97 into Normandy; where findingf 1.98 that Earl Geffrey had reduced that Country, and was preparing to march into Anjou, to pursue those who were then in Rebellion; he previledg 1.99 with him to come into England with all his power, and rescue the King∣dom (his Wife and Children's Inheritance) out of an Usurpers hands. Whereuponh 1.100, with Henry his Son, and some of his choicest Souldiers, they landedi 1.101 at Warham.

Howbeit, when they came thither, this our Earl of Gloucester receiving Advertisementk 1.102 that King Stephen had then beleagured his Sister (the Empress) at Oxford; designingl 1.103 to divert him, he forthwith laid Siegem 1.104 to the Castle at War∣ham; and continuing it for three months, obtain∣ed n 1.105 it by Render.

But in the mean while, the Empress for want o 1.106 of Victuals got awayp 1.107 from Oxford in the night∣time by a Postern (the ground being covered q 1.108 with Snow, and the river Frozenr 1.109) with five s 1.110 persons only in her company, all cloathedt 1.111 in White; and came on footu 1.112 to Walingford, un∣to whom he soonx 1.113 repaired.

And not long after this; viz. in Anno 1143. (8 Steph.) having noticey 1.114 that King Stephen in∣tended to make a Garrison of the Nunnery at Wilton, to prevent the Excursions of those in Salisbury who favoured the Empress; hez 1.115 raised all the power he could, and upon the first day of Iuly, in the evening, came thither, and seta 1.116 fire on the Town where the King's Souldiers lay.

Which put the King in such a fright (who was then in the Nunnery) that he leftb 1.117 his Plate and other goods behind him, and fledc 1.118 away.

And when the Earl of Anjou, having setled d 1.119 all things beyond-Sea in Peace, grew sollicirous e 1.120 for Henry his only Son (whom, at the instance f 1.121 of this our Earl, he had 4 years before permitted to come hither) and sentg 1.122 for him back; he con∣ducted h 1.123 him into Normandy, and forthwith re∣turned i 1.124 into England.

Of this great Earl it is farther memorable, that he builtk 1.125 the Castle of Caerdiff; and in his Lordship at Bristoll Foundedl 1.126 a certain Priory to the honour of God, and S. Iames the Apostle; which he plentifully endowedm 1.127, and made it a Celln 1.128 to the Abbey of Tewksbury (as Crane∣burne was) for the special loveo 1.129 that he bore to that Abbey; in regardp 1.130 he had used to have the Abbot of Tewksbury, and twelve Monks with him every Sunday throughout the year as long as he lived.

He likewise built the Castle of Bristoll, the Stone whereof came* 1.131 from Caen in Normandy; and gaveq 1.132 every tenth stone of it to the Fabrick of our Lady-Chapel in his Priory of S. Iames.

He also Foundedr 1.133 the Abbey of Margan in Wales, endowings 1.134 it with Lands lying betwixt Avene and Kene••eg, and erectedt 1.135 a Spire upon the Tower-steeple at Tewksbury.

To the Monks of Nethe (in Com. Glamorgan) he gaveu 1.136 certain Lands at Ponte and Blake∣••arre. Tox 1.137 the Monks of Gloucester a certain Mill called Ford-mill, as alsoy 1.138 Treygof, and Penhou. And departingz 1.139 this life on the mor∣row preceeding the Calends of Nov. Anno 1147. (12 Steph.) was burieda 1.140 in the Quire of the same Priory of S. Iames, under a Green Jasper-stone: leaving Issue by the before-mentioned Mabell his Wife, four Sons; viz. Williamb 1.141 his Successor in that Honour; Rogerc 1.142 Bishop of Worcester, who departedd 1.143 this life at Tours in France, 9 August, Anno 1179.) 25 Hen. 2. Hamon who diede 1.144 in the King's Army at the Siege of Tholo••e, Anno 1159. (5 Hen. 2.) and Philip, of which Philip it is re∣ported f 1.145, that upon the success which King Ste∣phen had in taking that Castle at Ferandune in Berkshire, built by Robert Earl of Gloucester, to annoy the King's Army then at Oxford; and routed his Forces about Ferandune, divers revolt∣ing from the Empress; amongst other, this Philip (who had been a stout and active Souldier for her) fell off; and thereupon receiving large re∣wards from the King, grew as fierce on his side a∣gainst the Earl his Father, and all other of the Empresses party, as any whatsoever; surprising Reginald Earl of Cornwall, in his passage to the King, with Overtures of Peace.

It is also saidg 1.146, that having married the Niece of Roger Lord Berkley, highly resenting that bar∣barous usage, which Walter, Brother to the Earl of Hereford, had exercised towards him, to constrain his yielding up of the Castle at Berkley, he re∣solved to waste all that Country: but before he could put in practice this his purpose, he fell grievously sick; and thereupon vowed a Pilgri∣mage to the Holy Land.

This Earl had also a Daughter called Maude, married toh 1.147 Ranulph, sirnamed Gernons Earl of Chester: which Maude Foundedi 1.148 the Priory of Repandune, in Com. Derb.

I come now to William his eldest Son and Successor.

This William,* 1.149 in his Father's life-time, wask 1.150 by him made Governour of the Castle at Warham:

and in 12 Hen. 2. upon levying the Aid for mar∣rying of the King's Daughter, certifyedm 1.151 his Knights Fees in Kent to be twenty two, and an half, and third part; and elsewheren 1.152 260 and an half, de veteri Feoffamento, and thirteen and an half, de novo.

Having, with other great men, opposed the King, (on the behalf of young Henry, as it seems) in 20 Hen. 2. he returnedo 1.153 to his obedience.

He had great contestsp 1.154 with one Your, sirnamed Bach, a little man of stature, but exceeding valiant; who keptq 1.155 himself for the most part in the Woods and Mountains, of which this Earl endeavoured r 1.156 to bereave him, or at least to straiten his limits: Yvor therefore being irritated thereat, came in the night to Caerdiff-Castle with his men; and though the Walls were high, and that there wass 1.157 no less than one hundred and twenty Soul∣diers, besides a large number of Archers; he scaled them, and tookt 1.158 away this William with his Countess, and their young Son; and carrying them to the Woods, refused to release them, until he had full restitutionu 1.159 of what had been wrongfully taken from him. This Earl obtainedx 1.160 the Lord∣ship of Caerleon from Meredith ap Howell; viz. Son to Howell Lord thereof.

The Works of Piety performed by him were very many and large; for it is evidenty 1.161 that he founded the Abbey of Chaynesham, in Com. Glouc. and amply endowed it. Moreover, that he gave z 1.162 to the Monks of Nethe, the whole Wreck hap∣ning upon their Land; toa 1.163 the Monks of Ber∣mundsey, the Church of Camberwell; tob 1.164 the Canons of Bradenstoke, liberty for themselves and servants of buying and selling in the Market at Bristoll Toll-free; toc 1.165 the Canons of S. Augu∣stines at Bristoll, one hundred Acres of Land in Ki∣burgh, as alsod 1.166 the Church of Grantendene: to e 1.167 the Nuns of Eaton, in Com. Warr. the Church of Mapeldresham, with the Chapel of Petersfield, in Com. Sutht.

Furthermore, he was a great Benefactor to the Priory of S. Iames at Bristoll (foundedf 1.168 by his Father) as appearsg 1.169 by his gift thereto of Esselege, and a Fair in Bristoll at Whitsontide; with the Titheh 1.170 of the Rent of his Mills at Newport in Wales, and the tenthi 1.171 part of the Rent of his Forest which Candelan kept. Likewise the tenth k 1.172 of the Rent of his Mills at Runne, Sta••elton, and Leovenath; alsol 1.173 one Burgage in Newport-Meadow, and thatm 1.174 all Newport-Meadow (at Bristoll) lying betwixt the Castle and the Church of S. Iames, should be of that Parish. Moreover, n 1.175 all the Churches in Cornwall, with their Chapels of his Fee; viz. Eglosbrek, Connarton, Egl••∣••••eil, Eglessant, Eg••oseraweyn, with the Chapel of Bonnarton; the Church of Melidan and Chapel of ••••rmoch. Also the Church of Es••removille in Normandy, with its Appurtenances; and ac∣quitted o 1.176 the Monks of S. Peters at Gloucester of Toll in Bristoll, ••••erdiff, Newport, and all other his Lands: and likewisep 1.177 the Church of S. ••••th∣lake at Hereford from Toll, throughout all his Lands in Wales; as alsoq 1.178 the Monks of Gold∣cliff, from Toll, throughout all his Lands in England and Wales: viz. Bristoll, Caerdiff, Newport, Caerleon, and Chepstow.

This Earl marriedr 1.179 Hawyse, the Daughter of Robert (sirnamed Bossu) Earl of Leicester; and had Issues 1.180 by her a Son called Robert, who died t 1.181 in his life-time, and was buriedu 1.182 in the Mona∣stery of Chaynsham, which he foundedx 1.183 in me∣mory of him: as also three Daughters; viz. Mabell marriedy 1.184 to ... Earl of Evereux in Norman∣dy; Amice toz 1.185 Richard de Clare Earl of Hertford, and Isabella 1.186. And to the end his Inheritance should notb 1.187 be divided amongst Females, he con∣stituted c 1.188 Iohn, a younger Son to King Henry the Second, his Heir. After which, viz. upon S. Cle∣ment's night, Anno 1173. (20 Hen. 2.) departing d 1.189 this life, he was buriede 1.190 at Chaynesham before-specified.

But being thus dead, King Henry the Second retainedf 1.191 this Earldom in his own hands for six years; and in the last year of his Reign, giving g 1.192 Isabell the youngest of those three Daughters above-mentioned, in Marriage to his Son Iohn, bestowedh 1.193 it on him; which he accordingly held i 1.194 all the space of his Brother King Richard the First's Reign: within which time he builtk 1.195 the long Bridge at Tewksbury, and gavel 1.196 the whole Toll of his Market there for the repair thereof. Howbeit, for this Marriage, in regardm 1.197 they were of kin; viz. in the third degree of consanguinity, Baldwin Archbishop of Canterbury put all his Lands under an Interdictn 1.198: for which Iohn com∣plained o 1.199 to the Pope's Legate and Bishops, by reasonp 1.200 the Archbishop had so done, after an Ap∣peal to the Apostolick See: whereupon the Le∣gate q 1.201 ratified the Appeal and releasedr 1.202 the In∣terdict: but, having nos 1.203 Children by her, after he came to the Crown, he procured a Divorcet 1.204 from her; yet heldu 1.205 the Honour of Gloucester still, with the Castle, Borough, Berton, and Hundred of Bristoll. Whereupon Geffrey de Mandevill Earl of Essex tookx 1.206 her to Wife; and after his death, Huberty 1.207 de Burgh Justice of England, neither of them having Issue by her.

When she was deadz 1.208, Almaric, Son to the Earl of Evereux, bya 1.209 Mabell the eldest Daughter of Earl William, hadb 1.210 this Earldom of Gloucester for a short space. Which Almaric, in Anno 1200. (2 Iohn) by the command of King Iohn, quitted c 1.211 all his right in Evereux, and the City of Evereux, to Philip King of France, in the presence of both Kings, in lieu whereof King Iohn gaved 1.212 him an equivalent exchange, and weddede 1.213 the Daughter of Hugh de Gornai, havingf 1.214 with her in Frank-marriage, by the gift of her Father, the Mannor of Horstan: but dying also without Issueg 1.215 by her, the Inheritance of this great Honour totally de∣volved toh 1.216 Amice the Wife of Richard de Clare, by reason whereof her Posterity afterwards enjoyed the title of Earls of Gloucester, as I have in due place fully shewed.
