Click on the surname you wish to find in this tree

Where prefixes are shown they refer to the parenthood method of naming individuals, and surnames as we know them today were virtually unknown. Ap and Ferch mean son of and daughter of respectively - it was usual to use the father's name except in the case that he was not known, in which case the mother's name was used. The same occurs in Irish and Scottish names where Mac is son of and Ingen is daughter of. These names have been put together in the index below
The prefix "de" means of a place and Ui means "of a clan".

The generations 1 to 10 are based on oral tradition later put into writing by monks in the Celtic Church or the Romans (eg Tacitus) and are open to some doubt, but are all we have. There are several entries of later dates which are legendary rather than factual, again recorded many year after the event from oral tradition, but since most legends have a kernal of truth, for the purpose of this genealogy the people named are accepted from the various records of the Irish monasteries

The Annals of the Four Masters says: "It was in the reign of Conaire that the sea annually cast its produce ashore, at Inbhear Colptha. Great abundance of nuts were annually found upon the Boinn Boyne and the Buais during his time. The cattle were without keepers in Ireland in his reign, on account of the greatness of the peace and concord. His reign was not thunder producing or stormy, for the wind did not take a hair off the cattle from the middle of Autumn to the middle of Spring. Little but the trees bent from the greatness of their fruit during his time."

Note: Conaire slew Nuadha Neacht to become the ninety-seventh monarch of Ireland and was known as the "Peace King".

22 Tasciovanus ap LLUDD Chief of the Catuvellauni and unknown

Tasciovanus is known through numismatic evidence. Some of the Verulamium coins name his son Cunobelinus, with Tasciovanus as his father.

. Tasciovanus was a historical king of the Catuvellauni tribe before the Roman conquest of Britain. He was preceeded by Cassivellaunus (Caswallon).

He appears to have become king of the Catuvellauni ca. 20 BC, ruling from Verulamium (St Dal Riatans). For a brief period ca. 15-10 BC he issued coins from Camulodunum (Colchester), apparently supplanting Addedomarus of the Trinovantes. After this he once again issued his coins from Verulamium, now bearing the title Ricon, Brythonic for "great/divine king" or "TAS". Some of his coins bear other abbrieviated names such as "DIAS", "SEGO" and "ANDOCO": these are generally considered to be the names of co-rulers or subordinate kings, but may instead be mint-marks.



Coin of Tascciovanus

He died ca. AD 9, succeeded by his son Cunobelinus, who ruled primarily from Camulodunum. Another son, Epaticcus, expanded his territory westwards into the lands of the Atrebates

A genealogy preserved in the medieval Welsh manuscript Harleian 3859 contains three generations which read "Caratauc map Cinbelin map Teuhant". This is the equivalent of "Caratacus, son of Cunobelinus, son of Tasciovanus", putting the three historical figures in the correct order, although the wrong historical context, the degree of linguistic change suggesting a long period of oral transmission. The remainder of the genealogy contains the names of a sequence of Roman emperors, and two Welsh mythological figures, Guidgen (Gwydion) and Lou (Lleu).

He appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (1136) as the legendary king Tenvantius, son of Lud. When his father died, he and his older brother Androgeus were still minors, so the kingship of Britain was given to their uncle Cassibelanus. Tenvantius was made Duke of Cornwall, and participated in his uncle's defence of Britain against Julius Caesar. Androgeus went to Rome with Caesar, so when Cassibelanus died, Tenvantius succeeded him as king. He was in turn succeeded by his son Kimbelinus, who had been brought up at the court of Augustus Caesar.

In Middle Welsh versions of Geoffrey's Historia his name appears as Teneufan and Trahayant..

GENERATION 13

33 Cynfelin (Cymberline, Cunobelinus) and unknown

CUNOBELINUS ap Tasciovanus. (Cymbeline, Cunobeline, Cynvelin). was king of the Catuvellauni tribe after his father. He ruled primarily from Camulodunum.[ Suetonius and Dio Cassius, and from his many inscribed coins.] He appears to have controlled a substantial portion of south-eastern England, and is called "Britannorum rex" ("king of the Britons") by Suetonius. He also appears in British legend as Cynfelyn, Kymbelinus or Cymbeline, in which form he is the subject of a play by William Shakespeare. His name means "hound of (the god) Belenus" or "shining hound".

Reverse side of coin of Cunobelinus

Cunobelinus appears to have maintained quite good relations with the Roman Empire. He used the title Rex (Latin "king") and classical motifs on his coins, and his reign saw an increase in trade with the continent. Archaeology shows an increase in luxury goods imported from the continent, including Italian wine and drinking vessels, olive oil and fish sauces from Hispania, glassware, jewellery and Gallo-Belgic tableware, which from their distribution appear to have entered Britain via the port of Camulodunum. He was probably one of the British kings that Strabo says sent embassies to Augustus. Strabo reports Rome's lucrative trade with Britain: the island's exports included grain, gold, silver, iron, hides, slaves and hunting dogs.

40......Gweirdd (Arivagus, Adminius or Amminus) abt 8 AD m Venissa Caudia of Rome

Based on coin distribution, where his name appears as Amminus it appears that, in the early to mid 1st century, he was ruler of the Cantiaci of eastern Kent, a kingdom which presumably fell within his father's sphere of influence.Suetonius, in the Lives of the Twelve Caesars, states he was deposed and exiled by his father c. 39 or 40
An inscription found in Chichester names a "Lucullus, son of Amminus"

GENERATION 15

41 Caradawg ap CYNVELIN with (a) Cartismandua Queen of the Brigantes and (b) with unknown

Based on coin distribution Caratacus appears to have been the protege of his uncle Epaticcus, who expanded Catuvellaunian power westwards into the territory of the Atrebates. After Epaticcus died ca. 35, the Atrebates, under Verica, regained some of their territory, but it appears Caratacus completed the conquest; Verica was ousted, fled to Rome and appealed to the emperor Claudius for help. This was the excuse used by Claudius to launch his invasion of Britain in the summer of 43.

According to established history, Caratacus and his brother Togodumnus led the initial defence of the country against Aulus Plautius's four legions, thought to have been around 40,000 men, primarily using guerrilla tactics. They lost much of the south-east after being defeated in two crucial battles on the rivers Medway and Thames. Togodumnus was killed and the Catuvellauni's territories were conquered.

An alternative reading of Dio's history of the invasion suggests that Togodumnus may actually have been acting in support of the Roman troops, against his brother Caratacus, and that he survived the battles of the River Thames, providing the later Roman administration with valued assistance. Dr Miles Russell of Bournemouth University has further suggested that Togodumnus and Tiberius Claudius Togidubnus, postulated resident of the late 1st century AD palace at Fishbourne may well have been one and the same. Claudius was present in August when his legions marched into Camulodunum (Colchester), the capital of the Catuvellauni, but Caratacus survived and carried on the resistance further west.

We next hear of Caratacus in Tacitus's Annals, leading the Silures and Ordovices of Roman Wales against Plautius' successor as governor, Publius Ostorius Scapula. Finally, in 51, Scapula managed to defeat Caratacus in a set-piece battle somewhere in Ordovician territory (see the Battle of Caer Caradoc), capturing Caratacus' wife and daughter Coellyn and receiving the surrender of his brothers. Caratacus himself escaped, and fled north to the lands of the Brigantes (modern Yorkshire) where the Brigantian queen, Cartimandua, handed him over to the Romans in chains. This was one of the factors that led to two Brigantian revolts against Cartimandua and her Roman allies, once later in the 50s and once in 69, led by Venutius, who had once been Cartimandua's husband. With the capture of Caratacus, much of southern Britain from the Humber to the Severn was pacified and garrisoned throughout the 50s.

Tacitus wrote: "Caratacus resorted to the ultimate hazard, adopting a place for battle so that entry, exit, everything would be unfavourable to us and for the better to his own men, with steep mountains all around, and, wherever a gentle access was possible, he strewed rocks in front in the manner of a rampart. And in front too there flowed a stream with an unsure ford, and companies of armed men had taken up position along the defenses."

After his capture, Caratacus was sent to Rome as a war prize, presumably to be killed after a triumphal parade. Although a captive, he was allowed to speak to the Roman senate. Tacitus records a version of his speech in which he says that his stubborn resistance made Rome's glory in defeating him all the greater:

If the degree of my nobility and fortune had been matched by moderation in success, I would have come to this City as a friend rather than a captive, nor would you have disdained to receive with a treaty of peace one sprung from brilliant ancestors and commanding a great many nations. But my present lot, disfiguring as it is for me, is magnificent for you. I had horses, men, arms, and wealth: what wonder if I was unwilling to lose them? If you wish to command everyone, does it really follow that everyone should accept your slavery? If I were now being handed over as one who had surrendered immediately, neither my fortune nor your glory would have achieved brilliance. It is also true that in my case any reprisal will be followed by oblivion. On the other hand, if you preserve me safe and sound, I shall be an eternal example of your clemency.

He made such an impression that he was pardoned and allowed to live in peace in Rome.

75 Aed Brosc mac Corath ui EREMOIN with (a) unknown and m Gwledyr ferch CLYDWYN

Aed Brosc was of the tribe of the Dessi who lived in the County Waterford region of Ireland. His grandfather, Eochaid Allmuir (from Over the Sea) had left his homeland when a bid for independence by his people was severely crushed by their High-King. There is some evidence to suggest the Roman authorities asked for his help in keeping Irish pirates away from the Dyfed coast. The descendants of Aed's eldest son, Urb, eventually founded the Kingdom of Brycheiniog (Brecon today), while his younger son, Triffyn Farfog, married the heiress of the Dyfed Kings. Like most Irish Royalty, Eochaid claimed descent from Beli Mawr, the Celtic Sun-God, through his son, Miled. A myth suggests that the Sons of Miled were the first Celts to come to Ireland, driving the Old Gods into the Otherworld and founding the Milesian dynasty of Irish Kings.

Giving up his kingdom to his son Meurig he retired to Tintern, where he lived the life of a hermit. While he resided here the Saxons, who were then pagans, began to invade the district, when a angel appeared to Tewdrig, telling him he was to shew himself in the battle and their enemies would be put to flight, though he himself would receive a mortal wound. This so happened; the enemy fled, and Tewdrig, standing on the banks of the Wye near the ford of Tintern, received a wound from a lance. The next morning the wounded king was conveyed in a carriage drawn by two stags yoked till they came to a meadow neart the Severn where fountains flowed, and there he died and was buried. His son Meurig built a church on the spot called Merthyr Tewdrig (Tewdrig the martyr), since shortened to Mathern." (Bradney, History of Monmouthshire, vol. 2 p. 255)

99 Brychan ap ANLLACH m Prawst ferch GWRTHEYRN (b) Mendog ferch DYFNWAL of Strathclyde (c) unnamed queen of Brycheiniog (d) Banhadlwedd ferch BANADL

Brychan was tutored by Saint Drichan and, as a young man, was sent as a hostage to the court of King Banadl of Powys, thus securing peace in his father's kingdom. He raped the king's daughter, Banhadlwedd, and she bore him Saint Cynog. Upon his father's death, he returned to Garthmadrun where is reign was remembered as a glorious age of Christianity., and became canonised

According to Christian tradition, Brychan married three or four times and had a very large family. These are mentioned in several manuscripts, including William Worcester, John Leland and Nicholas Roscarrock. The number of children attributed to him varies from twelve to sixty-three, the number most frequently encountered being twenty-four. There are two main lists however, one of Welsh origin and one of Cornish origin. Most of his children appear to have travelled from Brecon to evangelise Cornwall and North Devon, where they are now venerated, but there is little agreement between the two lists. Some are referred to as being 'in Manau' which has led to associations of Brychan with Manaw Gododdin in modern Scotland; although the Isle of Man seems more likely.

The numbers of children may have grown over time, as more and more seculars as well as saints wished to claim descent from one of the 'Holy Families of Britain'. Listed below are children from Welsh, Cornish, Irish and Breton sources, as recorded on the Early British Kingdoms.

Sons in Welsh sources
In the Cognacio Brychan, De Situ Brecheniauc and Jesus College MS20 are listed Cynog, Rhain Dremrudd, Clydwyn, Arthen, Papai, Dingad, Berwyn and Rhydog. Also listed, but not in all three, are Cynon, Pasgen, Cylflifer, Marthaerun and Rhun. Other Welsh sources claim the following additional sons: Caian, Cynbryd, Cynfran, Cynin, Dogfan, Dyfnan, Dyfrig, Hychan, Llecheu, Neffei, Rhawin, Llofan, Llonio, Heilin, Afallach, Gwynnen and Gwynnws.

Daughters in Welsh sources
The De Situ Brecheniauc lists: Meleri, Hunydd, Gwladys, Ceingar, Tudglid, Nyfain, Gwawr, Marchell, Lluan, Gwrygon Goddeu, Arianwen, Bethan, Ceinwen (Keyne), Cerddych, Clydai, Cynheiddon, Dwynwen, Eiliwedd, Goleudydd, Gwen, Lludd, Tudful, Tudwystl and Tybie. Other Welsh sources claim the following additional daughters: Beiol, Tydieu, Eufail, Hawystl, Edwen, Gwenrhiw, Tudwen, Callwen, Gwenfyl, Gwennan and Mwynwen.

Cornish sources
Listed in the 'Life of Saint Nectan' are, by his wife, Gwladys: Adwen, Canauc (Cynog), Cleder (Clether), Dilic (Illick), Endilient (Endelienta), Helie, Johannes (Sion), Iona, Juliana (Ilud), Kenhender (Cynidr), Keri (Curig), Mabon (Mabyn), Menfre (Menefrewy), Merewenne (Marwenna), Morewenna (Morwenna), Nectanus (Nectan), Tamalanc, Tedda (Tetha), Wencu, Wenheden (Enoder), Wenna (Gwen), Wensent, Wynup (Gwenabwy) and Yse (Issey).

According to Robert Hunt, of the holy children that settled in Cornwall, we learn that the following gave their names to Cornish churches 1. Johannes at St Ive (probably incorrect) 2. Endelient at Endellion 3. Menfre at St Minver 4. Tedda at St Teath 5. Mabon at St Mabyn 6. Merewenne at Marhamchurch 7. Wenna at St Wenn 8. Keyne at St Keyne 9. Yse at St lssey 10. Morewenna at Morwenstow 11. Cleder at St Clether 12. Keri at Egloskerry 13. Helie at Egloshayle (this is incorrect) 14. Adwen at Advent 15. Lanent at Lelant Irish sources
The Book of Leinster lists the following sons by Brychan's wife, DÕna daughter of the King of the Saxons: Mo-Goroc, Mo-Chonoc (Cynog), Diraid, Duban (Dyfnan), Cairinne (Caian), Cairpre, Iast, Elloc (Dilic), Paan, Caeman and Mo-Beoc.

Breton sources
Breton tradition says that Brychan married Menedoc daughter of Constantine, King of the Scots. Together they were the parents of Saint Nennocha. 4898.

101 Vortigern ap GWIDOL m Severa ferch MAXIMUS (b abt 370)


Coin showing head of Severa

Severa was the youngest daughter of Maximus II Magnus CLEMENS and great grand daughter of the Emperor Constantine the Great. See the Bigod branch here

The first writer to tell the story of Vortigern was the sixth century historian Gildas, writing his De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae (On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain) in the first decades of the 6th century. He writes "all the councillors, together with that proud usurper [omnes consiliarii una cum superbo tyranno]" made the mistake of inviting "the fierce and impious Saxons" to settle in Britain....

Gildas never calls Vortigern a king of Britain. He is termed a usurper (tyrannus), but not solely responsible for inviting the Saxons. To the contrary, he is supported by or supporting a "Council", which may be a government based on the representatives of all the "cities" (civitates) or a part thereof. Gildas also does not see Vortigern as bad; he just qualifies him as "unlucky" (infaustus) and lacking judgement, which is understandable, as these mercenaries proved to be faithless...

William of Malmesbury stated that "Vortigern was King of Britain; a man calculated neither for the field nor the council, but wholly given up to the lusts of the flesh, the slave of every vice: a character of insatiable avarice, ungovernable pride, and polluted by his lusts. To complete the picture, he had defiled his own daughter, who was lured to the participation of such a crime by the hope of sharing his kingdom, and she had borne him a son. Regardless of his treasures at this dreadful juncture, and wasting the resources of the kingdom in riotous living, he was awake only to the blandishments of abandoned women."

Cadell commanded the kingdom of Powys during his father Cadeyrn's battles in 441. He was driven from his father's kingdom by Irish pirates during the chaos of the Saxon insurrection in Southern Britain before 447. He hid himself amongst the peasants of Powys and became a servant of the Irish chieftain, Benlli, hoping, one day, to find an opportunity to retrieve his inheritance. He had his chance when St.Germanus of Auxerre visited Britain, probably for the second time, to combat the Pelagian heresy in 447. He was restored to the Powys throne by St. Germanus in 447.

133 Padarn Beisrudd ap TEGID m unknown

Padarn Beisrudd ap Tegid literally translates as Paternus of the Scarlet Robe, son of Tegid. His father may have borne the Roman name of Tacitus. Padarn is believed to have been born in the early 4th century in the Old North (or Yr Hen Ogledd) of Roman Britain. His grandson, Cunedda certainly came from Manaw Gododdin, the modern Clackmannanshire region of Scotland.
One traditional interpretation identifies Padarn as a Roman (or Romano-British) official of reasonably high rank who had been placed in command of Votadini troops stationed in Clackmannanshire in the 380s or earlier by the Emperor Magnus Maximus. Alternatively, he may have been a frontier chieftain in the same region who was granted Roman military rank, a practice attested elsewhere along the empire's borders at the time.
His command in modern Scotland lasted till his death and was then assumed by his son Edeyrn. Edeyrn was father to Cunedda, founder of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, Wales

153 Ceneu ap COEL (King of Cumbria) and unknown

Ceneu was an early King of Northern Britain, the heir of Coel Hen (the Old). His Kingdom stretched from coast to coast. Ceneu was canonized because he upheld the old Christian ways while under intense pressure from invading pagans. High-King Vortigern's policy of employing Saxon mercenaries to defeat British enemies meant that, for most of his reign, Ceneu was obliged to accept the help of the Saxons, Octha and Ebissa, in pushing back invading Picts from his kingdom. Their interference was widely resented and it was not until after the Kentish rebellion that they were finally brought under control. Magnanimous in victory, Ceneu allowed the Saxons to settle in Deira (East Yorkshire). Upon his death, Ceneu's kingdom was divided between his two sons, Gwrgant and Mor. Gwrgant took the western lands stretching from the Salway to the Mersey, while Mor inherited the central kingdom around the old capital, Ebrauc (York).

157 Brochfael Ysgythrog ap CYNGEN m Arddyn Penasgell ferch PABO (b abt 510)



The traditional arms of Brochwel Ysgithrog

Brochfael (alias Brochwel) of the Tusks presumably had very big teeth! The famous Taliesin was his bard for a time.
Brochfael is particularly known for an incident involving St. Melangell. This stunning young woman had taken to the life of a hermit, living in a small cell in the Powys wilds. One day, Brochfael was out hunting a hare when the creature made for Melangell's hermitage and hid in her skirts. The dogs would not attack, and the King became so enamoured of the lady's pious beauty that he asked her to marry him. She humbly declined, so Brochfael gave her land to build a monastery instead.

Powys has been frequently called "the land of Brochwel", but little is recorded of the events of this monarch's reign. Some details are available from Old Welsh poetry, but this is difficult to interpret, and none of the extant poems about this period seem to pre-date the 9th century. Some are from as late as the 11th century. Brochwel is presented as a warrior hero and ruler of wide lands. These sources suggest that he was passionately fond of hunting, and one of his chief resorts was the Vale of Meifod which he made his "May-Abode" or summer residence. On his summer visits to Mathrafal, he often visited the shrine of St. Gwyddfarch. Upon his saintly son, St Tysilio, he bestowed the Bishopric of that part of his kingdom. St Tysilio and Brochwel are linked with the foundation of the Church at Meifod, but none of the stones of the current Church of St. Mary date from this period.

Brochfael died around AD 560/70 and was buried at Pentrefoelas in Gwynedd where the grave of a six foot man, with a covering slab bearing the name "Brohomagli", has been uncovered. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Cynan.

Note: Arddyn was the granddaughter of A 26 King Coel

This child later became St Tysilio and a bishop. He resolved at an early age to become a priest, over the objections of his father.Ê He ran away to Meifod and was taken in by the abbot for religious training. His father sent men to fetch him home, but the lad refused to leave. After his brother Iago had succeeded their father as king, then died childless two years later, the widow of his brother asked him to leave the monastory to marry her and become king. When he refused, she did all she could to make life miserable for him and for the abbey at Meifod. He left Wales and sailed to Brittany, where he set up his own abbey. After the death of his sister-in-law, a delegation from Meifod invited him to return but he chose to stay where he was; he died in Brittany after living a full life.

158 Cunedda "Wledig" ap EDEYRN m 154 Gwawl ferch COEL of Rheged

Cunedda led the Votadini against Pictish and Irish incursions south of Hadrian's Wall. Sometime after this, the Votadini troops under Cunedda relocated to North Wales in order to defend the region from Irish invasion. Cunedda established himself in Wales, in the territory of the Venedoti, which would become the centre of the kingdom of Gwynedd. Two explanations for these actions have been suggested: either Cunedda was acting under the orders of Maximus (or Maximus's successors) or Vortigern, the high king of the British in the immediate post-Roman era. The range of dates (suggested by PC Bartrum) runs from the late 370s, which would favor Maximus, to the late 440s, which would favor Vortigern.

Celebrated for his strength, courage, and ability to rally the beleaguered Romano-British forces of the region, he eventually secured a politically advantageous marriage to Gwawl, daughter of Coel Hen, the Romano-British ruler of Eboracum (modern York), and had nine sons. Cardigan (Welsh: Ceredigion) and Merioneth (Welsh: Meirionnydd) were supposedly named after his two sons Ceredig and Meirion.

He was born c. 420 AD in the Brythonic kingdom of Manaw Gododdin (approximating modern Clackmannanshire in Scotland), centred on the Firth of Forth.

Son of Cunedda, he arrived in what is now modern Wales from Gododdin with his father's family when they were invited to help ward off Irish invaders. As a reward for his bravery, his father gave him the southern part of the territories in north-west Wales conquered from the Irish. The realm was named Ceredigion in his honour.

199 Cadwallon "Llaw Hir" ap EINION King of Gwynedd m Meddyf ferch MAELDAF (b 460)

Cadwallon grew up at Aberffraw in the shadow of King Edwin of Deira who appears to have been his foster-uncle (an impossible legend says his foster-brother). At a young age, his father, King Cadfan, sent him to the Royal Breton Court of King Salomon where received a fine British education. Edwin may have gone with him and a petty rivalry was born between them that, in manhood, turned to war!

After Edwin left the Royal Gwynedd Court, he was able to recover a united Northumbrian crown with the help of the Saxon Bretwalda, King Redwald of East Anglia in AD 616. He then appears to have turned to expansionism. First, Edwin conquered the British Kingdom of Elmet. Then, after Cadfan's death, he turned on Gwynedd. He attacked Ynys Manaw (Isle of Man) by sea and, from here, spring-boarded to Ynys Mon (Anglesey) where Cadwallon underwent some crushing defeats. The King of Gwynedd was pushed back to the tiny Ynys Lannog (Isle of Priestholm) where he was besieged for several weeks before managing to escape to Ireland. From here he moved on to Guernsey and then to the court of his cousin, King Salomon II of Brittany. Together they plotted revenge.

Cadwallon sent an advance party to Britain to rally his men and those of the other British kingdoms, while he prepared a Breton invasion force. The advance guard landed in Dumnonia, but were immediately caught up in a Mercian siege of Caer-Uisc (Exeter). King Clemen was, thus, in no position to help the Gwynedd cause. However, Cadwallon soon arrived with his army and crushed the Mercians, forcing their King, Penda, into a mutual anti-Northumbrian alliance, sealed by Cadwallon's marriage to Penda's sister, Alcfrith. Together, they marched north to regain Gwynedd at the Battle of Cefn Digoll (Long Mountain near Welshpool). They did not stop there, however, and hounded the Northumbrians back to their own kingdom. Here they wreaked revenge on the Northern Angles, burning York, sacking Yeavering (Ad Gefrin) and butchering Northumbrians as they went. So savagely did Cadwallon treat them that the Northern Angles thought they were all to be exterminated.

Edwin was finally killed at the Battle of Meicen (Hatfield Chase) in AD 633, but this did not entice Cadwallon to leave Northumbria. Edwin's cousin, Osric, managed to rally the Nothumbrian troops and besieged the King of Gwynedd at York. Cadwallon, however, broke out, caught Osric unawares and destroyed his entire army. Aethelfrith of Bernicia's son, Enfrith, then returned from Pictland and tried to negotiate peace with Cadwallon. The King would have none of it though and Enfrith was also slain. Within a year, however, Enfrith's half-brother, Oswald, marched south from his exile in Scottish Dalriada and encountered Cadwallon at Catscaul or "Cad-ys-gual", the Battle of the Wall (Heavenfield, near Hexham). Here Cadwallon died. Conflicting evidence suggests he may have survived the battle and died in AD659, though this is unlikely. Tradition says he was buried beneath the Ludgate of Caer Londein, where he still occasionally held court over both Britons and Saxons. A mounted statue of him is said to have been raised upon its top. His son, Cadwaladr Fendigaid, being only about a year old, the throne was seized by one Cadfael ap Cynfeddw.

The Cenel nGabra'n dominated Dal Riata until the late 7th century, and his son Aedan was later king. He was said to be a wise and excellent Prince. He instituted the office of the King's Advocate. He persuaded Loth, a Pictish King, to join with Uther Pendragon, King of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in 502.

It was probably during his cousin's usurpation of the Breton throne that Budic fled to Britain, along with his father and the Breton fleet. They took refuge at the court of King Aircol Lawhir of Dyfed, where he met and married his second wife, Anowed, the sister of St. Teilo. The two settled in Britain and lived there for many years during which time Anowed gave birth to two sons. During her third pregnancy though, messengers arrived announcing that the Breton King (probably the childless Rivod) was dead and that his people desired Budic to be their King. So he returned in triumph to a kingdom that became known as Cornouaille Budic in his honour.

Child of Rhun and unknown

Like his father, King Maelgwn Gwynedd, Rhun was a tall man, hence his nickname. According to Welsh law, Rhun managed to succeed to the Gwynedd throne despite being illegitimate. However, his position was disputed by his eldest legitimate half-sister, St. Eurgain and her husband, Prince Elidyr Mwynfawr (the Wealthy) of Strathclyde. Elidyr's armies invaded Gwynedd. They sailed through the Menai Straits and landed near Caer-Segeint, alias Caer-yn-Arfon (Caernarfon). Rhun had strong local support, however, and the Northern army was thoroughly defeated. Elidyr was killed in battle on the Cadnant Brook. King Riderch Hael (the Generous) of Strathclyde, Elidyr's cousin, appears to have attempted a revenge attack a few years later. Rhun was victorious for a second time, and followed through by taking a large army north, possibly to help his half-brother, Bridei, secure his place on the Pictish throne. Rhun's favourite palace was that which he set up up-river from Degannwy at the old Roman fort of Canovium. Originally Caer-Ganwy, it later took the name of Caer-Rhun in his honour. He died there in 586.

213 Maelgwyn "The Tall" ap CADWALLON King of Gwynedd m (a) Gwallwen ferch AFALLACH (b abt 490) (b) Nesta ferch SAWYL (c) Ingem GIROM (b abt 500) (d) 155 Sannan ferch CYNGEN (b abt 498)

Maelgwn Hir (the Tall) was so associated with the kingdom which he inherited from his father, Cadwallon Lawhir, that he is usually known as Maelgwn Gwynedd. Gildas wrote unfavourably of him in the early 6th century, telling of Maelgwn's murder of his own uncle, probably Owain Danwyn (White-Tooth), in order to secure Gwynedd's crown. Gildas did, however, acknowledge the King's leading position amongst the monarchs of the age and gives him the, not unflattering, title of "Dragon of the Isle": a reference to Ynys Mon (Anglesey). Geoffrey of Monmouth considered him to be a High-King of Britain following Arthur's heir, Constantine, and this is not impossible. Legend tells how, soon after taking the throne, Maelgwn was forced to call together all the petty-kings of North Wales, and probably the rest of Britain, in order to obtain their acceptance of him as their over-king. They met on the sands of what is now called Traeth Maelgwyn, near Ynys Las, and agreed upon a strange competition: as the tide started coming in, all those present sat in chairs along the shoreline; the one who dared to remain seated for the longest would take the High-Kingship. Maelgwn, however, had already made special preparations. His chair had been fitted with waxed bird-wings, so he floated above the waterline and won his prize.

Though the Royal capital remained at Aberffraw, Maelgwn mostly liked to hold court at Din-Gonwy (Deganwy) on the Conwy, which became a major centre for the bardic arts. He had another palace at Caer-Gybi on Holy Island that he eventually gave away to St. Cybi to found a monastery.

Other saintly men had more troublesome encounters with the king. Maelgwn once heard that St.Padarn, the Bishop of Llanbadarn, had a large store of gold, so devised a plan to trick him out of it. He sent some Royal messengers to the Bishop with sacks of moss and pebbles. Pretending this was the content of the Royal treasury they asked Padarn to retain it in safe keeping while Maelgwn and his armies went off to war. Months later, the messengers returned to collect their sacks but, of course, found them filled with grass and stones. Padarn was immediately dragged before the king and accused of theft. Upon refusing to replace the treasure, the Bishop was forced to undergo a trial by ordeal. Both he and his accusers were obliged to plunge their arms into a pot of boiling water. After a period of healing time, their wounds were examined. The messengers' arms were still raw and painful, but Padarn's burns were completely healed. The saint was thus declared an innocent man, and Maelgwn was forced to admit his deceitful plot. As penance, the King gave Padarn a grant of all the land between the Clorach and the Rheidol.

On another occasion, King Maelgwn sent his best white horses to St. Tydecho at Llan-y-Mawddwy, near Dinas Mawddwy for stabling. Instead of setting the animals out to pasture, however, the saint let them run wild in the mountains, eating the heather. When Maelgwn called for his horses' return, he wasshocked to find that they had all turned yellow! He confiscated Tydecho's oxen as punishment, but the saint charmed some woodland stags to pull his plough instead. Later Maelgwn was hunting in the area when he rested on a large rock. He became stuck to the spot, until St. Tydecho arrived to free him. As with many powerful men, Maelgwn was quite the lady's man. The Pictish people, of what is now the Scottish Highlands, even chose him to father the heir to their throne. Their matriarchal society required a man of Royal blood to impregnate their Princess Royal and thus continue the Royal female line. Both Maelgwn's grandmother's were Pictish, and he was therefore considered to be such himself. There is an old story about one of Maelgwn's many partners, that reminds us of his incessant jealousy, though a similar version is also told of King Riderch Hael (the Generous) of Strathclyde's queen. Upon his first marriage, Maelgwn had presented the beautiful Princess Nesta of the Southern Pennines with the traditional gold ring worn by all Queens of Gwynedd. Soon afterwards, however, the new queen lost the ring while bathing in a pool on the River Elwy. Afraid of what her husband would say, she visited the Bishop of Llanelwy (St. Asaphs), St. Asaph, to ask for his help. The saint invited the Royal couple to dinner that evening, where he explained to Maelgwn what had become of the Queen's ring. Maelgwn was furious and immediately accused Nesta of giving the ring away to an impoverished lover. Asaph managed to calm the situation enough for them to sit down to eat, and they all prayed to God that the ring might be found. Fresh fish, caught in the River Elwy, was served first and when the sceptical King cut into his dish, there was the ring inside!

Maelgwn abdicated the throne, late in his reign, and entered a monstery but, finding it not to his liking, he returned to the secular way of life, murdered his second queen and his nephew, and married the latter's widow. Soon afterwards, in AD 549, he fled the Royal court to escape the great yellow fever plague that was spreading through the country. He prostrated himself before the altar of the church of Llanrhos and prayed for his life, but it was too late. He died a few days later. It is not widely recognised, but Maelgwn does appear in medieval Arthurian literature where he is represented as Malaguin, the King of the Hundred Knights.

D13 Raedwald WUFFINGA m unknown

For one of the great Bretwaldas, King Raedwald of East Anglia is surprisingly badly documented. He was thought to have ascended the throne AD 593 and some time in the next fifteen years, he adopted Christianity, apparently being baptized in Kent.

He had difficulty in persuading his people to follow his adoption of the new religion and perhaps he himself was a little half-hearted, for Bede records that Redwald maintained a temple with altars to both pagan and Christian gods. His informant was Eldwulf of East Anglia who remembered seeing it as a boy. Around AD 614, Redwald took the exiled Prince Edwin of Deira under his wing. The latter had already spent years hiding from his enemy, King Aethelfrith of Northumbria, at the Royal Court of Gwynedd in North Wales; but, after the Battles of Chester and Bangor-on-Dee, Edwin thought it safer in Redwald's growing power-base.

Aethelfrith tried to threaten Redwald into releasing the lad and later bribes were almost successful. But the East Anglian Queen reminded her husband of his obligations to his guest and he chose honour over pecuniary gain. In AD 617, Redwald even raised a huge army on Edwin's behalf and they marched north to meet the Northumbrians at the Battle of the River Idle. Here the two allies were victorious and Edwin became King of Northumbria at last.

Redwald's date of death is uncertain and it is possible that he fell at the Idle. Other sources suggest, however, that he lived until about AD 625, gaining his reputation as Bretwalda in the intervening years. Whatever the exact date, Redwald evidently had a last lapse into paganism before his death, for he appears to have been the monarch interred in the great Sutton Hoo ship burial, discovered near his Royal Court at Rendlesham in 1939. Only the impression of the wooden vessel remained, but the treasure buried with the King was fabulous: a stunning helmet and shield, silver platters, drinking vessels, musical instruments. They can now be seen in the British Museum. Redwald may have been succeeded briefly by his brother, Eni, although, it is generally accepted that his successor was his youngest son, Erpwald.

220 Aedan mac GABRAIN (King in Dal Raita) m 229 Domelch Ferch MAELGWYN(b abt 505 Gwynedd)

Aedan commanded the lands around Aberfoyle, the region where he subsequently granted land to St. Berach for a monastery, and this capacity fought for the Britons in 573 in the Battle of Arfderydd.

He succeeded his 1st cousin, Conall mac COMGALL, to the throne of Dal Riata in 574. He was was crowned and anointed King of Scots Dalriada and Pendragon of the Celtic Isle (Aedan Pen Draco Insularis) by (his 3rd cousin) St. Columba of Iona in 574 in Scotland. 6th King of Dal Riata between 574 and 16 April 608.

St Columba, a descendant of the high kings of Ireland, followed in the footsteps of the Irish Scotti to spread the Celtic Church into Dal Riada and Northern Pictland. Arriving with twelve companions, he was granted land on Iona where he founded a monastery in order to introduce the Picts along the western coast to Christianity. Visiting the king, he won his respect and subsequently played a major role not just in winning converts for the church but also as a diplomat.

Aedan concluded an agreement with the High King of Ireland, Aed mac Ainmerech, in which Aedan retained authority, to tax and collect tribute, over the Dal Riatan peoples who still lived in the original homeland of Fergus in Ulster, but these Dal Riatans were ultimately answerable to the Irish High King for military support, showing the Dal Riatan kings, even in Scotland, were subject to some degree to the High Kings of Ireland, in 575 in Drumceat, Derry, Ireland. He undertook a raid on the Orkney Islands, otherwise the territory of the Picts and King Brude, whose piratical inhabitants, Norseman, were conducting raids on Dal Riatan territory, most likely Iona, in 580. He fought a series of skirmishes with the Picts under King Brude, and generally won the advantage, between 580 and 584. He defeated the Southern Picts, the Maeatae, in the battle which he lost two sons, Arthur and Eochaid Find, between 590 and 596 in the Battle of Miathi.

He was defeated by Aethelfrith, King of the North-Eastern kingdom of Bernicia, though both sides had heavy losses, and Aedan lost another son, Domangart in 603 in the Battle of Degsastan, Liddesdale, Lothian. He is said to have abdicated after his defeat at the hands of the Angles of Bernicia and retired to a monastery after 603 in Kilkerran.

Ascending to the throne of what was then the most powerful kingdom of Britain in his twenties upon the death of his father, Maelgwn Hir ap Cadwallon, from plague, Rhun soon found himself embroiled in a dynastic dispute with Elidyr Mwynfawr, a Northern Brythonic prince from the line of Strathclyde. Elidyr had married Rhun's neice, and as a result believed himself to be the proper heir to the throne of Gwynedd.

Elidyr's attempted invasion of Gwynedd, proved unsuccessful, and Elidyr himself was killed in the attempt. Elidyr's cousins, Rhydderch Hael of Strathclyde and Clydno Eiten of Edinburgh, however, remained bitter rivals of Rhun and later raided and sacked Arfon (the area around Caernarfon). Raising an army from all over northern Wales, Rhun retaliated, supposedly marching unopposed through Northern Briton to the River Forth where they stayed many years. John Morris associates this invasion with the succession of Rhun's half-brother, Brude, to the throne of the Picts.

Hlothhere succeeded his brother Ecgbeorht I in 673. He must have come into conflict with Mercia, since in 676 the Mercian king Aethelred invaded Kent and caused great destruction; according to Bede, even churches and monasteries were not spared, and Rochester was laid waste.
Hlothhere's rule survived this onslaught, however. He appears for a time to have reigned jointly with his nephew Eadric, son of Ecgberht I, since a code of laws still extant was issued under both their names. In 685, Eadric went into exile and led the South Saxons against Hlothhere, who was defeated and died of his wounds

In 604, after being driven from his throne by Aethelfrith, King of Bernicia, Edwin, king of Deira, sought refuge at the Iago's court. Iago was attacked by Aethelfrith for harboring Edwin (whose father Aethelfrith had murdered) in 613 in Chester. Iago rallied the combined British armies of the South behind him, that included his 4th cousin Selyf of Powys, and the two clashed at Caer-Legion (Chester).
In the medieval Welsh Triads, the death of King Iago ap Beli is described as the result of an axe-blow by one of his own men, a certain Cadafael Wyllt (English: Cadafael the Wild).

Cadfan assumed the crown of Gwynedd probably around 615, shortly after the Battle of Chester, during which the forces of Powys were defeated by Aethelfrith of Bernicia. Cadfan was generally considered to have been a wise and just ruler, noted for his ability to maintain the rule of law and peace during an increasingly hostile period in British history. His memorial stone at Llangadwaladr Church in Anglesey refers to him as "Catamanus rex sapientisimus opinatisimus omnium regum" (="King Cadfan the wisest and most renowned of all kings")
Beuno founded a Convent at Clynnog in 616, and that Cadfan was Beuno's great patron, promising him extensive lands. The promise was carried out by Cadfan's son, King Cadwallon, and that Cadwallon was given a golden sceptre worth 60 cows as a token of acknowledgment

Judicael's coat of arms

Judicael survived the persecutions of the reign of his brother, Prince Haeloc of Domnonie, and was brought out of hiding in a monastery on the latter's death. He set up his palace in the Forest of Paimpont. It is recorded that: "Terror of his name alone was sufficient to keep evil men from violence, for God, who watched over him without ceasing, had made him brave amd mighty in battle; it happened more than once that with the aid of the Almighty he was able to put whole troops of the enemy to flight by the strength of his sword-arm alone" He defeated the Franks twice in battle and, despite the Breton Prince's reputation, in AD 635 King Dagobert of the Franks, sent St. Eligius to demand his submission if he wanted to avoid full scale invasion. Judicael was a practical man, and quickly travelled to Dagobert's Court ion Paris to recognise him as his overlord. Thus a lasting peace was concluded between the two. Around 640, Judicael retired to the monastery of Saint John at Gwazel, not far from the monastery of Paimpont which he had founded. After his death, he was buried beside his abbot, Saint Meen, and declared a saint; his feast day is 16 December.

264 Cadwallon ap CADFAN m Elen (b abt 600)

Note: Cadwallon was also known as Catuvellaunus

The Mercian king Penda and Cadwallon together made war against the Northumbrians. A battle was fought at Hatfield Chase on October 12, 633 which ended in the defeat and death of Edwin and his son Osfrith. After this, the Kingdom of Northumbria fell into disarray, divided between its sub-kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia, but the war continued: according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, "Cadwallon and Penda went and did for the whole land of Northumbria".
Bede says that Cadwallon was besieged by the new king of Deira, Osric, "in a strong town"; Cadwallon, however, "sallied out on a sudden with all his forces, by surprise, and destroyed him [Osric] and all his army." After this, according to Bede, Cadwallon ruled over the "provinces of the Northumbrians" for a year, "not like a victorious king, but like a rapacious and bloody tyrant." Furthermore, Bede tells us that Cadwallon, "though he bore the name and professed himself a Christian, was so barbarous in his disposition and behaviour, that he neither spared the female sex, nor the innocent age of children, but with savage cruelty put them to tormenting deaths, ravaging all their country for a long time, and resolving to cut off all the race of the English within the borders of Britain."
The new king of Bernicia, Eanfrith, was also killed by Cadwallon when the former went to him in an attempt to negotiate peace. However, Cadwallon was defeated by an army under Eanfrith's brother, Oswald, at the Battle of Heavenfield, "though he had most numerous forces, which he boasted nothing could withstand". Cadwallon was killed at a place called "Denis's-brook"

Coin of Alfred

Alfred was the founder of the English Navy. By 877 the Danes had occupied London and reached Gloucester and Exeter, but they lost 120 supply ships in a fierce storm off Swanage. In 878 he was forced to hide in Somerset and it was there arose the legend of the burned cakes. He renewed the fight and won a famous victory at Edington in Wiltshire the same year. After, the Danes agreed that their king, Guthrum, should be baptised and Alfred was godfather. Afterwards Guthrum ruled Mercia but acknowledged Alfred as Overlord. The Mercian settlement developed over the next 100 years into the body known as Danelaw. Before that, in 879 at Fulham and also near Rochester in 884, other Norse armies landed. Alfred continued fighting until he was the acknowledged champion of the English against the Danes. Alfred was scholarly, a writer, law-maker, pious and also a valiant fighter. Additionally he had a good knowledge of geography. He was a most able administrator and also instituted educational programmes. He founded monasteries and gave a large part of his income to charities.

Cynan reigned 798 ? 816 and his reign was marked by a destructive dynastic power struggle with his brother Hywel.
His reign ended in a combination of natural disasters and military reverses. In 810 there was a bovine plague that killed many cattle throughout Wales. The next year Deganwy, his home, the ancient fortified llys of Maelgwn Gwynedd and built of wood, was struck by lightning.
A destructive war between Cynan and Hywel raged on Anglesey between 812 and 816, ultimately ending with Cynan's defeat and banishment. He died in exile within a year.

He sided with Cearbhall, lord of Osraighe, in which they gained a victory in the territory of Aradh Tire, over the Cinel Fiachach, with sixty-four hundred men, in 856. He was only known in the Irish Annals between 856 and 873. He joined with Cearbhall, lord of Osraighe, and his brother, Amhlaeibh, as they led a great army into Meath in 857 in Ireland.

He was leader, with his two brothers, of an enormous Danish army consisting of around ten thousand men in 866 in East Anglia, England. He was sacked York with his brothers after a fierce attack on the ancient city on 1 November 866.

Amlafb and Imar returned to Ath Cliath from Dal Riata with two hundred ships, bringing away with them in captivity to Ireland a great prey of Angles and Britons and Picts.

Athelstan was acknowledged by the Welsh princes and at a meeting at Hereford they agreed to pay taxes to him in the form of gold, silver, hawks, hounds and oxen. He founded the see of St Germans in Cornwall. Athelstan made laws, particularly to control the widespread thieving that was then prevalent. Athelstan had a good physique and golden hair, he was compassionate, intelligent and christian-like and was the first English Monarch who effectively ruled the whole Kingdom.

Coin of Eadmund

Eadmund expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944. He supported Dunstan in the reintroduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict. Athelstan died on October 27, 939, and Eadmund succeeded him as King. Shortly after his proclamation as king he had to face several military threats. King Olaf I of Dublin conquered Northumbria and invaded the Midlands. When Olaf died in 942 Eadmund reconquered the Midlands. In 943 he became the god-father of King Olaf of York. In 944, Eadmund was successful in reconquering Northumbria. In the same year his ally Olaf of York lost his throne and left for Dublin in Ireland. Olaf became the king of Dublin as Olaf Cuaran and continued to be allied to his god-father. In 945 Eadmund conquered Strathclyde but conceded his rights on the territory to King Malcolm I of Scotland. In exchange they signed a treaty of mutual military support. Eadmund thus established a policy of safe borders and peaceful relationships with Scotland. During his reign, the revival of monasteries in England began. Eadmund was murdered in 946 by Leofa, an exiled thief. He had been having a party in Pucklechurch, when he spotted Leofa in the crowd. After the outlaw refused to leave, the king and his advisors fought Leofa. Edmund and Leofa were both killed.

D73......Eadwig (Edwy) b 942 d 1 Oct 959

Edwy was chosen by the nobility to succeed his uncle Edred as King. His short reign was marked by ongoing conflicts with his family, the Thanes, and especially the Church, under the leadership of Saint Dunstan and Archbishop Odo.
According to one legend, the feud with Dunstan began on the day of Edwy's consecration, when he failed to attend a meeting of nobles. When Dunstan eventually found the young monarch, he was cavorting with a noblewoman named Ethelgive and refused to return with the bishop. Infuriated by this, Dunstan dragged Edwy back and forced him to renounce the girl as a "strumpet." Later realizing that he had provoked the king, Dunstan fled to the apparent sanctuary of his cloister, but Edwy, incited by Ethelgive, followed him and plundered the monastery. Though Dunstan managed to escape, he refused to return to England until after Edwy's death.
Frustrated by the king's impositions and supported by Archbishop Odo, the Thanes of Mercia and Northumbria switched their allegiance to Edwy's brother Edgar in 957. Edwy was defeated in battle at Gloucester, but rather than see the country descend into civil war, an agreement was reached among the nobles by which the kingdom would be divided along the Thames, with Edwy keeping Wessex and Kent in the south and Edgar ruling in the north. In the few remaining years of his reign, Edwy ruled his realm more wisely and made significant gifts to the Church. He died, however, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and was succeeded by his brother and rival, Edgar, who reunited the kingdom.

276 Rhodri ap MERVYN "MAWR" m 272 Angharad MEURIC abt 846

Rhodri's greatest triumph came in 856 against a force of Danes who made landing in Anglesey. The struggles of Rhodri and his fellow Welsh leaders were not all with the Danes. An equally potent threat lay to the east of Offa's Dyke in the form of the English. The English kings of Mercia made several attempts to take Powys - with temporary success in 822.
Just 7 years later Mercia itself succumbed to the growing might of Wessex, and from that point the southern kingdom posed an ongoing threat to Welsh independence. From 871 the leader of Wessex was Alfred the Great.
In 877 the two "Greats", Rhodri and Alfred clashed, and the Welsh leader and his son Gwriad were killed. In the vaccuum following Rhodri's death, Welsh kings, perhaps fearing the might of the Danes more than the threat of Alfred, and fearful of the power of Rhodri's sons, submitted to the overlordship of Wessex.

Coin of Eadgar

Eadgar was the first king of a united England. He allowed his Danish subjects to retain Danish law. Edgar promoted a monastic revival and encouraged trade by reforming the currency. He improved defence by organizing coastal naval patrols and a system for manning warships. Although he succeeded on 1 Oct 959, he was not crowned until 11 May, 973, at Bath Abbey, because St. Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury, disappproved of his way of life.
Dunstan, who had been exiled by Edwy, was recalled and appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. Dunstan organised an elaborate coronation for Edgar at Bath and afterwards had a powerful influence on the King. Edgar associated himself closely with the Church and his reign was peaceful and the country was well organised, having a common system of weights, measures and coinage. The courts of justice functioned well and both education and literature flourished. In 973 all the lesser kings, including the Welsh princes, promised allegiance and eight of them made a symbolic gesture by rowing a barge with the King at the helm upon the River Dee.

D76......Edward "The Martyr" b 962 d 18 Mar 978

St. Edward 'the Martyr', King of England succeeded to the title of King Edward of England on 8 July 975. His accession to the throne was contested by a party headed by his stepmother, Queen Elfrida, who wished her son, Ethelred to become king instead. However, Edward's claim had more support - including that of St Dunstan - and was confirmed by the Witan.
King Edward, "was a young man of great devotion and excellent conduct. He lived a completely orthodox, good and of holy life. Moreover, he loved above all things God and the Church. He was generous to the poor, a haven to the good, a champion of the Faith of Christ, a vessel full of every virtuous grace."

On King Edward's accession to the throne a great famine was raging through the land and violent attacks were stirred up against monasteries by prominent noblemen who coveted the lands which his father King Edgar had endowed to them. Many of these monasteries were destroyed, and the monks forced to flee. The King however stood firm together with archbishop Dunstan in defence of the Church and the monasteries. For this, some of the nobles decided to remove him and replace him with his younger brother Ethelred.

On March 18, 978 the king was hunting with dogs and horsemen near Wareham in Dorset. During this the king decided to visit his young brother Ethelred who was being brought up in the house of his mother Aelfrida at Corfe Castle, near Wareham. Separated from his retinue, the King arrived alone at the castle. Whilst still on his horse in the lower part of the castle Aelfrida offered Edward a glass of mead, and while he was drinking it, he was stabbed in the back by one of the queen's party. Ethelred himself was then only ten years old, so was not implicated in the murder.

Coin of Ethelred

Ethelred was totally unable to withstand the Danish onslaught that re-started on his accession. He continually attempted to buy off the Danes - Danegeld - as when he lost the Battle of Maldon in 991. In a state of near panic he ordered the slaughter of all Danes whether peaceful settlers or not and this foul deed was put in hand on St.Brices Day 13th Nov 1002.

Among the victims was the sister of Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark. The Norsemen were furious and ravaged the country from Cornwall to Kent and from South Wales to East Anglia. At this time Ethelred married Emma, sister of the Duke of Normandy. By 1013, Sweyn, who was accompanied by his son Canute, was proclaimed King but he died soon afterwards. Ethelred fled to Normandy when Sweyn's rule prevailed and then on Sweyn's death he returned but the English lords placed severe restrictions on him. The Danes led by Canute returned in 1015 and landing at Poole they crossed the Thames at Cricklade. His nickname meant poorly counselled

Children of Ethelred and Emma

Emma was twice Queen consort of the Kingdom of England by marriage, first (1002-1016) to king Ethelred the Unready and then (1017-1035) to Canute, king also of Denmark and Norway. Two of her sons - one by each husband - and two step-sons also became king of England, as did her great-nephew, William the Conqueror.

Upon the Danish invasion of England in 1013, Emma took her sons by Ethelred - Alfred and Edward - to Normandy, where they remained upon her return to England to marry Canute, now king of England following the death of Ethelred and his son (her step-son) Edmund II Ironside.
Following Canute's death, Alfred and Edward returned in 1036, possibly in an attempt to overthrow Canute's illegitimate son Harold Harefoot, who had established himself as ruler in the absence of Harthacanute, son of Canute and Emma. Alfred was captured and died after being blinded, while Edward escaped to Normandy, followed by his mother.

The death of Harold in 1040 and the accession of the more conciliatory Harthacanute paved the way for Edward's return to England the next year as co-ruler and (1042) king on Harthacanute's death. Emma returned to England and was pushed aside by Edward, as she supported Magnus the Noble, not Edward. (She is not known to have had any love for her children from her first marriage.) Emma's marriages and subsequent role forged the link between England and Normandy which was to culminate in her great-nephew William of Normandy's invasion of England in 1066.

317 Cte Raoul III "Le Grande" de VEXIN (Comte de Valois et Vexin et Crepy) m Countess Adele (Aelis) de BAR-SUR-AUBE (b 1019 d 1053)

Raoul, a descendent of Charlemagne, was Count of Valois, Vexin, and Crepy. To this he added Bar-sur-Aube by marrying the heiress, Adele, Comtesse de Bar-sur-Aube, a widow. However, after sigining the marriage-contract but before the nuptials had taken place, the knights of the Chateau de Joigny passed her on to another nobleman. Raoul hurried back and captured the Chateau and his bride, locking her up in La Ferte-sur-Aube, long enough to assure himself she was not pregnant. Again in his absence, she was captured by a local squire but, after being rescued, the nuptials with Raoul took place and they became the parents of two sons and two daughters.

After Adele died, Raoul married a lady named Haquenez, but when the king died and his widow became available, Raoul dismissed Haquenez and married the queen-widow. At this, however, Haquenez complained to the pope of being "despoiled of everything by her husband; she had been dismissed on a false charge of fornication."
Raoul was excommunicated, not for adultery but for incest. "Contrary to the law, he had lain with the wife of the dead king, who was his cousin.

William married Princess Gundred of England before 1077 in Normandy, France. Princess Gundred was born about 1063 in Normandy, France. She was the daughter of King Guillaume "Le Conquerant" de Normandie and Queen Matilda van Vlaanderen. She died on 27 May 1085 in Castle Acre, Acre, Norfolk, England .
William received large grants of land in recognition of the distinguished part he took at the battle of Hastings. He had large grants of land in several counties among which were the barony of Lewes, in Sussex, and the manors of Carletune and Benington, in Lincolnshire. So extensive indeed were those grants that his possessions resembled more the dominions of a sovereign prince than the estates of a subject. He enjoyed, too, in the highest degree, the confidence of the king, and was appointed joint Justice-General, with Richard de BENEFACTIS, for administering justice throughout the whole realm. While in that office, some great disturbers of the public peace having refused to appear before him and his colleague, in obedience to citation, the Earl took up arms, and defeated the rebels in a battle at Fagadune, when he is said, for the purpose of striking terror, to have cut off the right foot of each of his prisoners. Of these rebels, Ralph WAHIR or GAUDER, Earl of Norfolk, and Roger, Earl of Hereford, were the ringleaders. He was likewise highly esteemed by King William Rufus, and was created by that monarch the first Earl of Surrey. He came with William the Conqueror and was awarded over 300 manor houses in England. He built the castle at Castle Acre, Norfolk. Coat of arms over church door in Castle Acre.

Owain preferred the title of "Prince of Wales" as it indicated that he was the ruler of all Wales. This title defined his postion in the empire that to an ever increasing extent exercised lordship over him while elevating him above English barons and other lesser rulers in Wales.He took advantage of the troubled reign of King Stephen of England (1135 ? 1154) and seized some neigbouring territories. In 1157, Henry II led an army into Wales and Owain acknowledged Henry II as overlord. Owain kept all the territory he had gained with the exception of Tegeingl in the extreme north east.

339 Ralph de MORTENER, First Lord of Wigmore m (a) Melisande DE FERRERS (b) Mabel abt 1116

Ralph accompanied the Duke of Normandy (and appears in the Falaise Roll as Raoul Mortener) in his expedition against England, and was one of his principal commanders at the decisive battle of Hastings; and shortly after, was sent into the marches of Wales to encounter Edric, Earl of Shrewsbury, who still resisted the Norman yoke.
After much difficulty, and a long siege in his castle of Wigmore, Mortimer subdued, and delivered Edric into the king's hands. When, as a reward for his good service, he obtained a grant of all Edric's estates, he seated himself thenceforward at Wigmore. Independently of these great Welsh territorial possessions, Ralph Mortimer enjoyed by the bounty of his royal master sundry lordships and manors in other parts of the realm, which he held at the time of the Doomsday Survey.
In the beginning of Rufus's reign, Mortimer took part with Curthose, but he subsequently changed sides, and being constituted general of the forces sent to oppose that prince in Normandy, by King Henry I., he totally routed the enemy, and brought Curthose prisoner to the king.

Note: Once in Britain, the name Mortener became Mortimer

Hugh de Mortimer attested a charter by Gerold, Abbot of St. Lucien at Beauvais , in the time of Stephen, Count of Aumale. When King Stephen, circa 1140, granted to the Earl of Leicester the town and castle of Hereford et lotum comitatum Herefordisc., the fees of Hugh de Mortimer were with others excepted. In 1144 he initiated the reconquest of the Marches after the revolt of the Welsh on the death of Henry I, by successfully reoccupying the cantreds of Maelienydd and Elfael, and repairing the castles of Cwmaron and Colwen. In 1145 he captured and imprisoned the Welsh prince Rhys ap Howel, and in 1146 he slew Meredith, son of Madog ap Idnerth, late chieftain of Elfael and Maelienydd. In 1148 he blinded his prisoner Rhys ap Howel. The name of his wife is unknown. He seems to have died in the period 1148-50.

D116 Sir Hamon PECCHE of Cheveley m Eve PEVERELL (b 1196 Barnwell d 8 Jan 1266) 1212

Hamon, was a minor at his father's death, his custody and marriage being granted, 1 January 1212/3, to Hugh de Boues. He appears to have reached man's estate in time to be associated with his family connections in the armed opposition of the Barons to King John . In 1221 he did his service in the campaign against Biham, and served under the Earl Marshal in the Welsh war of 1223, receiving in September 1225 a grant to maintain himself in the King's service. He was crossing the sea on duty for the King in 1230, and had protection to visit his lands abroad in 1232. In 1233 he was serving in the Welsh Marches. Later he went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, on which he died, probably in the summer of 1241.

His lands in Essex, Kent, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambs, and Lincs were restored to him on his return to allegiance, 3 Oct 1217. In Jan 1218/9 Bourn was one of the fees of Richmond retained in the King's hand on giving seisin to the Count of Brittany, and in 1220 Hamon had to make a fine for it as one whole barony and part of a barony.

341 Gwenllian ferch OWAIN m (a) Owain Cyfailiog ap GRUFFYDD (b) Cadwgon ap MADOG (c) Hwfa ap CYNWRIG

Note: Owain was the son of Gruffydd ap Maredudd

On Madog's death in 1160 Owain became the ruler of most of southern Powys.
He is recorded as having been in alliance with the other Welsh princes to withstand the invasion of 1165 by King Henry II of England. Thereafter he usually followed a policy of supporting the English crown. In 1170 he gave land for the founding of the abbey of Strata Marcella. In 1188 however he refused to meet or support Baldwin, Archbishop of Canterbury and Giraldus Cambrensis when they journeyed around Wales to raise men for a crusade, and was excommunicated as a result.

In 1195 Owain handed the rule of his realm to his son Gwenwynwyn ab Owain and retired to the abbey of Strata Marcella, where he died and was buried two years later.
Owain has also long been considered a notable poet. Although only one poem ascribed to him has been preserved, this one, Hirlas Owain, is commonly rated as one of the finest Welsh poems of this period. In the poem, Owain's bodyguard are gathered at his court following a raid in 1155 to free his brother Meurig from prison in Maelor. The mission accomplished, Owain calls for the drinking horn to be passed to each member of his bodyguard in turn, with words of praise for each one. There is a more sombre note when he remembers two of his men who fell in the fighting and grieves for their loss. The poem's most recent editor, Gruffydd Aled Williams, has suggested that the poem was actually written by Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr, the preeminent Welsh court poet of the century, perhaps in collaboration with Owain.

Roger fought for King Henry II against the rebellion of his (the King's) son, Henry. In 1179 Roger was instrumental in the killing of Cadwallon ap Madog, the prince of Maelienydd and Elfael. He was imprisoned until June 1182 at Winchester for this killing. In 1195 Roger, with the backing of troops sent by Richard I invaded Maelienydd and rebuilt Cymaron castle. In 1196 he joined forces with Hugh de Say of Richards Castle and fought and lost the battle of New Radnor against Rhys ap Gruffydd, allegedly losing some forty knights and an innumerable number of foot in the fight.
(there is considerable doubt as to this event) By 1200 he had conquered Maelienydd and issued a new charter of rights to Cwmhir Abbey. In the summer of 1214 he became gravely ill and bought the right for his son to inherit his lands while he still lived from King John. He died before 8 July 1214.Castle

363 Sir Robert de MORTIMER of Attleborough m (a) Margery FALSTOLF (d 1141) (b) Catherine de BROCKDISH

Robert de Mortimer, the first of the family of whom there is record in Norfolk, witnessed a charter of William de Warenne to Castleacre Priory, probably in the time of Henry I. [Complete Peerage IX:243, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
The Mortimers of Norfolk held under the Earls Warenne a fief of which Attleborough was the caput, and Scoulton, Raveningham, Stanford and Rockland among its members.
As Henry I died in 1135, and Robert was of age when he witnessed a charter, then Robert was b. before 1114 at least.

382......William b bef 1134 Attleborough d 1180

As William, constable, de Mortimer, he witnessed a Norfolk charter of Richard de Baliol circa 1155; and as William de Mortimer, two charters of William the Lion of Scotland, of which one was granted in 1166. He fought with the Scots at Alnwick, 13 July 1174, where he was taken prisoner by Sir Bernard de Baliol; and was one of the pledges for the King of Scotland under the treaty of Falaise later in the year.

Children of Sir Robert and Catherine
382b......Robert b abt 1143 Attleborough

Robert on his marriage received Little Woodham (Woodham Mortimer) in Essex from Henry II by the service of 1/2 fee and probably Amberden (in Debden) as another 1/2 fee. In 1190/1 he, or his son, was assessed to the scutage of Wales for one knight's fee of the Honour of Peverel of London in Essex. Woodham and Amberden were held by Robert the son in 1212 as one fee. The father's marriage presumably took place in or before 1168, when he was pardoned a debt in the account of the sheriff of Essex.
It is not easy to distinguish this Robert from his son Robert at a time when either might have been the tenant of Woodham, or to distinguish them from their namesake and contemporary Robert de Mortimer of Attleborough. . . There seems to have been as close a connection between the Mortimers of Attleborough, and their said overlords as between Robert of Essex and the King. It would appear likely that it was Robert of Essex, the protege of Henry II, who witnessed at Valoignes the later version of the treaty of Falaise, some time in the early months of 1174, as being in the train of King Henry, while William de Mortimer of Attleborough was one of the hostages under that treaty for William the Lion--Earl of Huntingdon until his deafeat at Alnwick in July 1174; also that it was Robert of Essex who, at Le Mans, witnessed a charter of Henry II, dated 1175-81 or 1177.
That there was a close connection between the families of Attleborough and Richard's Castle is suggested by heraldic evidence; by the recurrance in both families of the names Robert and William (Hugh probably came in at Richard's Castle from Say); and by the few details that are known about a shadowy Pernel de Mortimer, who seems to have belonged to both families. Of her it is known that before 1199 (probably before May 1194) she held land in Dengey Hundred, in which are Woodham Mortimer and Amberden, which later was given to Tiltey Abbey; that in July 1199, as a widow, she was R. del Ech for dower in Cambe (where Mortimers of Attleborough had large holdings); and in 1203 levied a fine with William de Buckenham as to the advowson of Buckenham and land there--a Mortimer of Attleborough manor.

D121 Griffith Ap GWENOWYNWYN m Haywise Le STRANGE 1242

Haywise was the daughter of John Le Strange of Knockin. Griffith was Prince of Powys. He was still a child when his father, who had been driven out of his princedom by Llywelyn the Great, died in exile in 1216. He spent his youth in England, maintained by the king, and did not return to Wales until after Llywelyn's death. When Dafydd ap Llywelyn was forced to come to terms with King Henry III of England in 1241, Gruffydd was given most of the lands formerly held by his father, paying homage to Henry for them. When Llywelyn the Last increased his power in Wales after 1255, Gruffydd continued to support the crown, and in 1257 he was again driven into exile.
In 1263 he agreed to transfer his allegiance to Llywelyn under threat of being stripped of his lands, and this was confirmed at the Treaty of Montgomery in 1267. In 1274 Gruffydd, his wife Hawise and his son Owain were all involved with Llywelyn's brother Dafydd ap Gruffydd in a plot to assassinate Llywelyn. Dafydd was with Llywelyn at the time, and it was arranged that Owain would come with armed men on February 2 to carry out the assassination; however he was prevented by a snowstorm. Llywelyn did not discover the full details of the plot until later that year, when Owain confessed to the Bishop of Bangor. He said that the intention had been to make Dafydd prince of Gwynedd, and that Dafydd would then reward Gruffydd with lands. When Llywelyn discovered the details of the plot he sent envoys to Welshpool to summon Gruffydd to appear before him, but Gruffydd fled to England.
He settled in Shrewsbury and used it as a base for raids on Llywelyn's lands, probably encouraged by the king. After the war of 1277, when Llywelyn was forced to cede his lands outside Gwynedd, Gruffydd was again given his lands back. He became embroiled in an increasingly bitter dispute with Llywelyn over lands in Arwystli. Llywelyn wanted the issue resolved by Welsh law while Gruffydd wanted English law used and was supported by King Edward I of England. Gruffydd supported King Edward in the final war of 1282 although by now he was an old man. There have been suggestions that his eldest son Owen may have been involved in the killing of Llywelyn at Cilmeri in December that year. At the end of the Welsh War of 1282-1283 the principality of Powys-Wenwynwyn was abolished and the family - now Marcher Lords - adopted the surname de la Pole meaning "of Poole" referring to their family seat in Poole (modern Welshpool).

D129 Owen Ap Griffith De La POLE m Joan CORBET (b abt 1253) abt 1274

Owen acceeded to the Princedom of Powys at Powys Castle on 16 May 1289.
Owen was born in England sometime after his father was driven into exile there in 1257 by Llywelyn ap Gruffudd the ruler of Kingdom of Gwynedd. In 1263 following the Treaty of Montgomery his father was restored to some of his lands in return for agreeing to pay homage to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd as Prince of Wales. However, good relations between Powys-Wenwynwyn and Gwynedd were short-lived as Owen and his father were soon implicated in an assassination attempt on the Prince of Wales in 1274. This led to Owen and his father fleeing to Shrewsbury where they both led border raids against the Principality of Wales on behalf of the English crown.
Following Llywelyn's defeat at the hands of Edward I of England in 1277 Owen returned to Wales alongside his father whose lands had been restored. They soon became embroiled in a border dispute with Llywelyn which was one of the catalysts for a renewed campaign by the princes of Gwynedd against English domination. In 1284 following the final defeat of Gwynedd and the death of Llywelyn and his brother Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the de la Pole family surrendered their princely pretentions, but received back their principality in "free barony" as the marcher lordship of Powys

Sir Matthew de Morley was a justice in Norfolk 1229 and onwards; and in 1232 collector of a subsidy in that county. He put in his claim to land in Morley for which a fine was levied in November 1234. In 1242-3 he was holding 2 knights' fees in Morley, Wicklewood and Barford, and 1 fee in Roydon. He was living in September 1250. [Complete Peerage IX:209-10]
In 1226 he [Matthew] was pardoned a forest fine which had been incurred by Bartholomew de Mortimer, his uncle, whose heir he was.
The origin of this family remains obscure. They held land in Morley, near Wymondham, Norfolk, and in Roydon (Reydon), on the north bank of the Waveney, the boundary between that county and Suffolk. That their name was possibly assumed after marriage with an heiress of Morley is suggested by an undated deed of Robert de Morle, son of Randulf de Charun and Maud (---), granting the rights of himself and his mother in certain land. Randulf de Charun figures in the account of the sheriff of Norfolk in 1159, and in 1166 held 3 knights' fees of Hubert de Rye in that county, 2 fees in Bucks, and one fee in Beds jointly with Richard FitzRalph and Osbert de Clinton. The family of Charun were early associated with Roydon. Odo de Charun, in the reign of the Conqueror, gave to the priory of Eye two-thirds of the tithes of Gislingham, Suffolk (about 5 miles south of Roydon), and of Roydon.

421 Robert de MORLEY m unknown 1264 Swanton Morley

Robert de Morley was son and heir of Sir Matthew de Morley. He made a grant of land in Roydon circa 1250. In August 1254 he obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands at Roydon and Morley; as the charter is dated at Bordeaux, he was probably serving in Gascony at the time. He served the office of coroner. It was probably the same Robert who was a surety in 1276, and commissioner of gaol delivery in 1279, 1287 and 1288. He died and was buried in Prussia, his heart being brought back to Roydon.

D142 Sir William De La POLE m D145 Margaret de NORWICH

:Sir William and his brother Sir Richard de la Pole were merchants at Hull by 1317, importing Gascon wines. From 1317, they were deputies of the Royal Chief Butler. From 1321, they were collectors of customs and chamberlains of the town. With the accession of Edward III (then under the tutelage of Roger Mortimer and Queen Isabella), war with Scotland was resumed. They loaned the pair large sums of money in 1327, and in return Richard received the appointment of Chief Butler of England. When the Bardi, Edward's Florentine bankers were unable to lend the king money to pay his troops, the Pole brothers did so. They were owed £13,482 by February 1329.

they did not lose power with Mortimer's fall, but their wealth meant they could not be totally excluded from the government of Edward III. Richard continued to attend court at a time when Mortimer's supporters were absent. In July 1331, the brothers divided their assets. Richard was again Chief Butler of England from 1333 to 1338. He was an alderman of London from 1330 to 1340 (when he was knighted), but died in 1345. His son William is principally known as a Northamptonshire landowner. In 1331 Sir William persuaded the king to make Hull into an autonomous borough, instead of having a royal warden. On the death of the last warden in 1333, the brothers took over the royal property there and Sir William became Mayor of Hull, a post which he filled for the next 4 years. He also represented the city of Hull in five sessions of Parliament (March 1332, September 1334, May 1335, September 1336, and February 1338).

He continued financing Edward's Scottish wars but also bought much property in Yorkshire and Durham. His trading activities included the large scale export of wool to Dortrecht, but he and his partners abused the right of compulsory purchase that they were granted, smuggling wool, and thus ruined the financing of the king's campaigns in the Netherlands in 1338?40.

As a result of this, he and his associates were arrested after the king's return in November 1340, and deprived of the property. However, he was released in May 1342 and the proceedings were quashed, probably because the king needed his help financially. He organised a new company, which managed the Customs and lent vast sums to the king, also buying up royal debts at a large discount. He withdrew from the company in 1345. The company continued, and financed the Crecy campaign and the Siege of Calais, but were ruined as a result of the Black Death. He escaped liability for the debts of the now bankrupt company. However, the prosecution of 1341 was revived, and Sir William only escaped by renouncing all debts due from the crown. This, however, still left him a wealthy man. He died in May 1366, five months after his son Michael was summoned to Parliament as a peer

William was appointed in 1288, during the King's pleasure, to the custody of the lands in East Anglia of John d'Auvillers, deceased. In October 1294 he took part in the abortive expedition to Gascony in the company of Roger de Mohaut (de Monte Alto) under the Earl of Richmond, and served there again in the campaigns of 1295 and 1296. In 1297 he was summoned to a military council at Rochester on 8 September, and in November he went North in the company of Ralph de Monthermer, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, to drive back the Scots, who had devastated the border counties after Wallace's victory at Stirling. He was summoned to Parliament from 29 December 1299 to 3 November 1306, by writs directed Willelmo de Morle, whereby he became LORD MORLEY.
He married, firstly, Isabel, sister and heir of Robert DE MOHAUT (LORD MOHAUT] (died 1329), brother and heir of Roger Mohaut. He married, Secondly, before October 1295, Cicely, whose parentage is not known. He died probably before the end of 1302, and was buried in Roydon church. His widow Cicely was living in 1316.

William became a Knight of the Garter. First mentioned while accompanying a company of 'The Teutonic Knights' of Prussia against 'The Infidels' of Lithuania. He then moved on to Venice, where he served with the Duke of Duras in the Genoese assault on that city. He served in France with John of Gaunt 1369-73. He was created Seneschal of Aquitaine in 1383 and then Governor of Cherbourg. He committed some crime against the Bishop of Durham. The King ordered him to offer a jewel to the Bishop, which should be of a value of more than £500. He became Vice-Chamberlain of the Royal Household, became King of The Isle of Man (purchased from the Earl of Salisbury by his father). He was granted the Castle town of Marlboro in Wiltshire. He was created Earl of Wiltshire in 1397. In 1398 he became Lord High Treasurer of England. William took a prominent part in repealing the patent granted to the Duke of Hereford, John of Gaunt's son, securing his succession to his fathers titles, money and holdings, should his father die while he was still in exile. The Earl of Wilts, Sir John Bussy, Sir Henry Grene and Sir William Bagot were charged with the defense of the realm when Hereford invaded England in 1399. Shakespeare commented that 'The Earl of Wilts hath the Realm in Farm'. The Earl of Wiltshire, Bussy and Grene took shelter in the city of Bristol, when their adherents deserted them. All three were surrendered by the populace, to the Duke of Hereford, who had them beheaded on the spot, without benefit of a trial. Following Hereford's accession to the throne as Henry IV, he had these sentences confirmed by parliament, they were attainted and all their possessions and titles were forfeit to the crown. In 1398 Ambassador to treat for peace with Robert, King of Scotland, and in 1399 was made Lord Treasurer of England. The following year Richard II appointed him one of the three Guardians of the Realm during the King's absence in Ireland. The Queen Isabel, then only eleven years of age, was placed under his care at Wallingford Castle. After his death, defeated by Henry of Bolingbroke and beheaded without trial, his head was sent in a white basket to London and placed on London Bridge. After the accession of Henry IV, it was delivered to his widow.


D163......Stephen b abt 1352 Bentley, Yorks. d 10 Sep 1405 Castledermot, Ireland bur in Richmond, Yorks.

Sir Stephen was charged with imprisoning the Earl of Warwick on the Isle of Man. In 1401 he accompanied Thomas of Lancaster, the King's son, to Ireland as his deputy. It is said that his wife, having heard the complaints made about him whilst he was Justice of Munster, Leinster and Uriell, his maladministration of justice, 'except that he would make a solemn oath on The Bible, that willingly he would wrong no 'Christian creature' in that land, that truly and duly, see payment made for all expenses. She finally did consent to go with him. Thomas of Lancaster gives him a glowing reference in a letter written from Drogheda on 18 th Feb 1401. Scrope himself wrote at about the same time, asking for the monies owed to him, if not for 'A Grant of The Isle of Man, forfeited by my brother'. He died in Ireland in 1408. Millicent, his widow, married Sir John Fastolph (Falstaff in Shakespeare). Millicent's son Stephen became Fastolph's ward. Fastolph enjoyed Stephen's inheritance for 51 years before he finally died.

See the SAUVEUR branch here

Note: Haywise was the daughter of John MARSHALL and Christina FITZWALTER

Sir Robert was Marshal of Ireland from July 1324; he fought at sea Battle of Sluys in the lead ship 1340 and fought at Crecy 1346.
In 1316 he became lord of Morley, Norfolk, and in the same year obtained livery of his wife's lands, having done fealty; in 1317 and later years he was summoned for military service against the Scots. He was summoned to Parliament from 20 November 1317 to 15 December 1357, and in 1317 was called one of the "major barons."
In 1321 he was requested to appease disturbances, and was ordered not to attend the meeting at Doncaster of the "Good Peers" summoned by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. In the foIlowing spring he was ordered to raise men for the King and come to the muster at Coventry; and probably fought at Boroughbridge, his arms being on the roll. In July 1322 he took part in the King's unsuccessful campaign in Scotland.
He was styled a knight in 1324. In May 1324 he was summoned to a Great Council of Magnatcs, and in August and December was summoned for military service in Gascony, and to a colloquium of the magnates and clergy upon the King's proposed expedition there. In July 1324 order was made to put him in possession of the Marshalsy of Ireland. On 26 October 1326 he was a member of the Council at Bristol which elected Prince Edward custos of the kingdom, upon the flight of Edward II.
In 1327 he was summoned for service against the Scots; and from that year onwards was on a number of commissions in Norfolk to make arrests, inquiries, oyer and terminer, &c. In 1330, as "cosyn" and heir of Robert de Mohaut, he asked for an inquiry as to the fees Mohaut had held. On 16 June 1331 he held a tournament at Stepney, and with twenty-four others defended himself against all comers.
In 1332 he was ordered to choose archers in Norfolk; next year, he served in Scotland, where he fought at Halidon Hill, 19 July 1333, and apparently was employed until the middle of 1335. In June 1335 he gave a quitclaim of the Mohaut inheritance to Queen Isabel, the manor of Framsden being granted to him out of it.
In August 1335 he was about to go on a pilgrimage to Santiago; but it is unlikely that he went, because he was summoned to a Council in London, probably on Scottish affairs, which then and in the following year --- when he was summoned again --- caused apprehension. Attacks by French and Scottish vessels were anticipated, and in May 1336 Morley was a commissioner to guard the coast of Norfolk. In January 1336/7 he was in Scotland again, but in July 1338 he was back in Norfolk, guarding the coast. On 18 February 1338/9 he was appointed captain and admiral of the fleet of all the ships of Great Yarmouth and all other ports from Thames' mouth northwards. In 1339 he sailed with the fleet to Normandy and burnt many ports. On 24 June 1340 his ship led the attack on the French fleet at Sluys, which was overwhelmed, and many English ships were recaptured from the enemy.
In November 1341 he was setting out for service in Brittany. In January 1342/3 he was ordered to be at Portsmouth, with 20 men, to sail for France on 1 March.
On 18 June 1345 protection was granted to Robert de Morley, chivaler, going abroad with Hugh Despenser, in the Earl of Northampton's expedition to Brittany. He had a similar protection, 7 July 1346, on joining Edward III's summer campaign in France; and on 26 August took part in the victory of Crecy as one of the bannerets of the King's division, continuing to serve in France with 30 men, himself, as banneret, 5 knights, 9 esquires and 15 archers. When the King began the siege of Calais, he brought round his fleet and blockaded the port so that no relief could come to the town from the sea. He was present at the tournament at Lichfield, 9 April 1347. He fought under the Earl of Lancaster in the naval action off Winchelsea, 29 August 1350. In 1351 he was again guarding the Norfolk coast; and, in 1354 was a justice in'the same county under the Labourers' Act. In August of that year he was one of the peers who (as such) appointed proxies to give their consent to the informal submission to the Pope of the articles of peace between England and France. In 1355 he was appointed Constable of the Tower, and held this office till his death.
He married, 1stly, in or before 1316, Hawise, sister and coheir of John MARSHALL [LORD MARSHAL], of Hingham, Norfolk,and daughter of William MARSHAL, [1st Lord Marshal], by Christian, daughter of Robert [FitzWalter], 1st Lord FitzWalter, hereditary Marshal of Ireland, who, as Robert's feudal superior [of the Barony of Rye], had been his guardian. She, who on the death of her sister Denise s.p., 14 September 1316, became, according to modern doctrine, Baroness Marshal, may have died before 1327.
He married, secondly, by September 1334, Joan de TYES was daughter of Sir Piers de Tyes (j). She died 24 December 1358. He died 23 March 1359/60, in Burgundy.(j) His lands lay in Norfolk, Lincs, Essex, Herts, Northants, and Bucks. Knighton, vol ii, p. 112, says that he and a son of his both died the same year. Possibly this was his son Henry, who is not heard of again after the mention of him in the post mortem enquiry on his father, where he is said to be heir to his brother Thomas.

William, Lord Morley succeeded to the Barony of Marshal on his mother's death, and in July 1341 he had livery of her lands, having proved his age and done homage. In 1354 he was styled chivaler. He was serving in Gascony in October 1554, in the company of Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk; and took part in the expedition of Prince Edward to Carcassonne and Narbonne in 1355. He was summoned, 25 March 136o/1, to a Council at Westminster upon the state of Ireland, where absentees drew the profit of their estates and did nothing for their defence. In November 1363? he went overseas on a pilgrimage. He was summoned to Parliament from 4 December 1364 to 16 February 1378/9. In March 1370 he was prepared to lead 20 men-at-arms overseas in the retinue of the King, and was joint commissioner with Hugh Fastolf to commandeer ships for the King's next viage de guerre.

Michael became 1st Earl of Suffolk 6 Aug 1385.
By charter dated 18 February 1378 Michael founded in his messuage, outside the walls of Kingston-upon-Hull, a religious house for thirteen monks of the Carthusian order, to the honour of God, and St. Thomas the Martyr, sometime Archbishop of Canterbury, and other saints of God, which house he desired should be called the house of St. Michael of the Carthusian order. With assent of the prior of the Great Charterhouse, he appointed Walter de Kele prior of his house, which he endowed with the messuage aforesaid, containing 7 acres of land, lately parcel of the manor of Myton, and called the
Maison Dieu, together with a chapel and other buildings erected there for their habitation, and also the advowson of the church of Foston, the manor of Sculcoates, etc. The monks were enjoined to pray for King Richard, for Katherine the founder's mother, and Katherine his wife, Edmund his brother, and Michael his son and heir, Alexander Nevill, Archbishop of York, and a large number of other distinguished persons separately named.

He had free-warren in Gresthorpe. Michael was settled the manor of Gresthorpe, with rents of assize, and seven bovats of land in North Clifton, on Michael de la Pole, his son, and Katherin his wife. A jury found that Katherine, who had been wife of Michael de la Pole, earl of Suffolk, when she died, "held the manor of Gresthorpe, with the appurtenances in Gresthorp, Sutton, Normanton, and North Clifton; and that Katherine, Elizabeth and Isabell, daughters of Michael de la Pole, son of the said earl, and the said Katherine, were her cousins and heirs." Sir Michael de la Poole, Knt. chancellor of England, now created Earl of Suffolk, and to the heirs male of his body, 20l. per annum out of the profits of Suffolk county, and 500l. yearly out of the hereditaments of William Ufford, late Earl of Suffolk, for which the following manors were conveyed to the said Earl, and confirmed to him by the King's girding him with a sword, Burgh, Cawston, Baketon, and Costesey, with knights fees in Blickling, Bawdeswell, Hethill, Stanfield, &c. in Norfolk, castle, town, manor, and honour of Eye, the hundreds of Hertesmere and Stowe, the manors of Combs, Haughley, Trendon, Lowestoft, and Lothinglond hundred in Suffolk, and Gestingthorp in Essex, of which he died seized in 1415.

440 Michael de la POLE, Earl of Suffolk m 446 Katherine STAFFORD (b 1366 Stafford d 8 Apr 1419 Wingfield Suffolk) 13 Apr 1383

His father fled abroad before being appealed of treason during the Merciless Parliament in 1388, and forfeited the title of Earl of Suffolk and the family estates. Over the next decade, Michael made vigorous attempts to recover these lands, and obtained most of them piecemeal between 1389 and 1392, following his father's death. However, his close association with the Lords Appellant, particularly the Earl of Warwick and the Duke of Gloucester prejudiced Richard II against him.

Sir Michael, obtained the annulment of the judgment against his father ; andupon the accession of King Henry IV. was fully restored tothe castle, manor, and honour of Eye, with the other lands ofthe late lord, as also to the Earldom of Suffolk, with areversionary proviso, that those lands and honours should, indefault of his male issue, devolve upon the male heir of hisdeceased father.
While he obeyed the summons of the Duke of York to defend the kingdom against Henry Bolingbroke in July 1399, he did not object to the disbandment of York's army and consented to the deposition of Richard II. While the first Parliament of Henry IV technically upheld the forfeitures of the Merciless Parliament, his estates and title were immediately restored by Henry IV for his support. However, he would spend the remainder of his life trying to obtain possession of the remaining estates which had not been restored.

He played a relatively small role in national politics, although he regularly attended Parliament. He took part in the campaign in Scotland in 1400, naval operations around 1405, and was the senior English diplomat at the Council of Pisa. Suffolk was also a lieutenant of the Duke of Clarence during his campaign of 1412 - 1413. However, most of his energies were spent on re-establishing de la Pole influence in East Anglia. He was a justice of the peace in Norfolk and Suffolk from 1399, and assembled a considerable following among the local gentry. He completed his father's building plans at Wingfield, Suffolk and enlarged the local church.Suffolk brought 40 men-at-arms and 120 archers with him on the 1415 campaign of Henry V. He died of dysentery before the battle of Harfleur on 14 September, 1415 , and was succeeded by his eldest son Michael, who was also present there.

At the decease of his lordship the Barony of De la Pole and the Earldom of Suffolk devolved on his brother 40 William


D174......William b 16 Oct 1396 Cotton, Suffolk d 2 May 1450 Dover

William became the Marquis and Earl of Suffolk and chief minister of Henry VI and the favourite of Margaret of Anjou.He served in the French wars, and contributed in 1424 to the defeat of the French and Scots at Verneuil. After the death of the Earl of Salisbury at the siege of Orleans (Nov. 1428) the Earl of Suffolk was charged with the conduct of the siege; but all his efforts were defeated by the memorable intervention of Joan of Arc. He retreated and was pursued by the Maid to Jergeaux, which place she took by storm, and Suffolk was made prisoner.

He soon recovered his liberty and assisted at the coronation of Henry VI in the cathedral of Notre Dame, at Paris, in 1431. Admitted to the king's council, and created Knight of the Garter, he negotiated in 1444 the truce with France and the king's marriage with Margaret of Anjou, stood proxy for Henry at the marriage ceremony in France, and escorted the bride to England. He was then created Marquis of Suffolk, received the thanks of parliament for his services in negotiating the truce, enjoyed the favour of the queen, and was virtually first minister.

After the murder of Humphrey, the good Duke of Gloucester, popular suspicion attached itself to Suffolk as an accomplice; and his unpopularity was increased by the surrender of Anjou and Maine to France, according to the treaty which he had concluded. He received meanwhile the earldom of Pembroke, was appointed Lord Chamberlain, and Lord High Admiral of England, and in 1448 was created Duke of Suffolk. The popular feeling vented itself in insurrections in 1450, and Suffolk, impeached by the Commons committed to the Tower, was sentenced, without trial, to five years' banishment.

He took an oath, before the gentry of Suffolk, that he was innocent of the crimes laid to his charge, and then embarked at Ipswich. But he was overtaken at sea by a vessel belonging to the Duke of Exeter, Constable of the Tower, was by his order beheaded, and his body was laid on the sands at Dover (May, 1450). It was removed thence by the king's direction and given up to the duchess, who buried it at Wingfield, in Suffolk. The Duchess of Suffolk was daughter of Thomas Chaucer, Speaker of the House of Commons, and granddaughter of the great poet. William de la Pole was succeeded by his only son, John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk

D173 William de la POLE m Alice CHAUCER 11 Nov 1430

Alice was the daughter of Thomas CHAUCER and Maud de Burghersh.

William was 1st Duke of Suffolk and a Knight of the Garter. He married (a) Duchess Jacqueline of Hainault, which was, however, soon annulled owing to the ambitious projects of Jacqueline's guardians. When he met the widow Alice, grand-daughter of Geoffrey CHAUCER, then in her prime, he was ready to contract a mature and lasting union. Suffolk succeeded the Earl of Salisbury after his death as Commander-in-chief to the English forces in France. He was for a time a prisoner in the French hands, and is said to have knighted his captor so that he should not fall into the hands of a " common man ". William inherited the title of Earl of Suffolk after his elder brother Michael's death at Agincourt.

After William's marriage with Alice, he was honoured by being chosen to go to France to negotiate for the young King Henry VI's marriage to Margaret of Anjou and it was this which doubtless gave rise to the cruel and unfounded slander that he became Margaret's lover (Shakespeare perpetuated this slander in his play Henry VI Part I Act I Scene 3 in the well known words " she's beautiful and therefore to be wooed - she is a woman and therefore to be won! "

For this service as ambassador for the royal marriage William de la Pole was created first Marquis and then Duke of Suffolk, and remained high in the King's favour for some years being appointed Lord Chancellor of the Realm, while Alice was close in attendance to Queen Margaret, being a highly honoured lady-in-waiting. When not engaged at court or on official functions, the Suffolk pair lived a good deal at Ewelme Manor, and the chronicle says " Suffolk, from love of his wife and the commodity of her lands, fell much to dwell in Oxfordshire and Berkshire where her lands lay ".

In 1437 the Duke and Duchess founded the Almshouses or "God's Houseî"at Ewelme, as well as the school, and they rebuilt the church about the same time on the site of an older edifice. They also enlarged and improved the Manor and its grounds and built a large dairy, one wall of which still remains standing. One can imagine the natural pride they must have felt in surveying the progress of the model village they had created. Some of their retainers from Wingfield in Suffolk followed them to Ewelme as is betokened by the various families of Winfield residing in Ewelme to this day, who still preserve their East Anglian type. Ewelme Manor is thus described at this date: "The inner part of the house is set within a fair moat and is builded richly of brick and stone. The hall of it is fair and hath great bars of iron athwart it instead of crossbeams. The parlour is exceedingly fair and lightsome and so be all the lodgings there. There is a right fair park to the Manor ".

He was a knight of the Garter and served for 24 years in the wars. In command at the victory of Verneuil, and at the siege of Orleans. He was aken prisoner by Joan of Arc. Assassinated 1450, murdered in an open boat and his head was cut off and thrown on the beach. It was at Ewelme Manor that William and Alice's only child was born after nearly ten years of marriage - John de la Pole - who was destined after his father's fall to retrieve for a time the family fortunes, through his marriage with the new King Edward IV's sister, Elizabeth Plantagenet.

He was present at the death of King Henry V and bore one of the banners at his funeral rites. He was a member of Parliament from July 15, 1427 to July 5, 1435. In 1430, he went to France in the retinue of the King.

John was the son of Thomas Arundel who was about 14 years of age at his father's death, in ward to John, Lord Dynham, (John was the First Lord Dynham of Cardynham and Lord Treasurer of England.) Thomas married Katherine, sister of the above. They were both the children of Sir John Dynham, Knight and Jane de Arches. Thomas and Katherine married about Dec 1473. This marriage brought great possessions into the Arundel family. Sir Thomas, like his father, may have fought on the losing side at Tewkesbury, but was granted a pardo n. He had a brief and troubled career. In the 1484 Parliment of Richard II I, he was attainted and deprived of his estates, which were bestowed on his step sister Anne's husband, the rascally Sir James Tyrell, the murderer of the two young princes in the Tower. Anne was the only child of Sir John's first marriage to Elizabeth Morley, daughter of Lord Morley. Katherine, Thomas' wife was granted an annuity of 100 pounds from the forfeited estates, orginally belonging to the Dynham family. On the ascention of Henry V II, the attainder was reversed and the estates restored but the restitution was too late for Thomas who died Oct 11, 1485, just seven weeks after the Battle of Bosworth. In addition to the Cornish properties and others inherited from Sir John Chideock in Dorset, he held four manors in Devon.

D187 John de la POLE KG m (a) Margaret BEAUFORT 1449 (annulled 1452) (b) Elizabeth PLANTAGENET (b 22 Apr 1444 d 1504)1460 or 1461

John was the 2nd Duke of Suffolk, 2nd Marquess of Suffolk, 5th Earl of Suffolk. Knight of the Garter. Known as "the Trimming Duke", he was married to Lady Margaret Beaufort on 7 Feb 1450, though the Papal Dispensation to marry was not signed until 18 Aug 1450. This marriage was annulled by Henry VI in Feb 1453. Richard, Duke of York had been a bitter enemy of John's father (executed in 1450), but John supported the House of York in the Wars of the Roses. Sometime before Feb 1458, John married Elizabeth, the second surviving daughter of Richard of YORK and Cecily NEVILLE. She was the sister of Edward IV and Richard III. John was thus brother-in-law of two Kings of England.
The Dukedom of Suffolk had been forfeited when John's father was assasinated. The title was restored by Edward IV, and John was created Duke of Suffolk by Letters Patent on 23 Mar 1463. He was Constable of Wallingford Castle and held the Honour of Wallingford. In 1472 he was made a Knight of the Garter and appointed High Steward of Oxford University. He was also sometime Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He submitted to Henry VII after Bosworth Field. He served Henry loyally, even though three of his sons later rebelled.

During the last year of the reign of his maternal uncle, King Richard III, he was designated heir to the throne. In addition, he was given revenues of about 500 pounds a year, and was appointed king's lieutenant in Ireland and president of the Council of the North.
After Richard's defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485, he was reconciled with the new king, Henry VII, but soon became impatient with the new rule and supported the claims of the boy pretender, Lambert Simnel. John was killed at the Battle of Stoke in 1487, at which the rebel army was defeated. In November 1487, he was posthumously attainted.

Following the death of his older brother at the Battle of Stoke, Edmund became the leading Yorkist claimant to the throne. Nevertheless, Henry spared his life and allowed him to succeed as Duke of Suffolk in 1491, though at some time later, Edmund's title was demoted to the rank of Earl. He married Margaret, daughter of Sir Richard Scrope.
The headstrong Edmund did not have his father's pragmatism, and a title was not enough for him. He left the Kingdom of England in 1501, this time seeking the help of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. He drew others such as Sir James Tyrrell into his intrigue. In 1506, Phillip, Duke of Burgundy, the Emperor's son was blown off course while sailing, and reluctantly and unexpectedly became a guest of Henry VII. Needing to set sail again in order to claim his wife's inheritance (Castile), he was persuaded by Henry to hand over the Earl of Suffolk. Henry agreed to the proviso that Suffolk would not be harmed, and restricted himself to imprisoning the Earl.
The next king, Henry VIII, did not feel bound to this agreement, and had Suffolk executed in 1513, thus ridding himself of any threat to his throne during his absence for the invasion in France that year.
All the Suffolk estates, both those in the eastern counties and those at A life-interest in the Ewelme property was considerately granted by the King to Margaret, wife of Edmund; the remaining estates were conferred on Charles Brandon, who later on was created Duke of Suffolk, and who, it happened, was maternally descended from the Sir Edmund De la Pole who died in 1419. Edmund and Margaret left only one child, a daughter, who died a professed nun in a convent in the Minories in London; and with her perished at the last of the once powerful race of De la Pole.

Richard's eldest brother John De La Pole, Earl of Lincoln (c. 1464-1487), is said to have been named heir to the throne by his uncle Richard III, who gave him a pension and the reversion of the estates of Margaret Beaufort. On the accession of Henry VII, however, Lincoln took the oath of allegiance instead of claiming the throne for himself, but in 1487 he joined the rebellion of Lambert Simnel, and was killed at the battle of Stoke.
The second brother Edmund (c. 1472-1513), succeeded his father as third Duke of Suffolk while still in his minority. His estates suffered under the attainder of his brother, and he was compelled to pay large sums to Henry VII for the recovery of part of the forfeited lands, and also to exchange his title of duke for that of earl. In 1501 he sought Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, Tirol, and received from him a promise of substantial assistance in case of an attempt on the English crown. In consequence of these treasonable proceedings Henry seized his brother William De La Pole, with four other Yorkist noblemen. Two of them, Sir James Tyrell and Sir John Wyndham, were executed, William De La Pole was imprisoned and Suffolk outlawed. Then in Jul 1502 Henry concluded a treaty with Maximilian by which the king bound himself not to countenance English rebels. Presently Suffolk fell into the hands of Philip, King of Castile, who imprisoned him at Namur, and in 1506 surrendered him to Henry VII on condition that his life was spared. He remained a prisoner until 1513, when he was beheaded at the time his brother Richard took up arms with the French king.

Richard De La Pole joined Edmund abroad in 1504, and remained at Aix-la-Chapelle as surety for his elder brother's debts. The creditors threatened to surrender him to Henry VII, but, more fortunate than his brother, he found a safe refuge at Buda with King Ladislas VI of Hungary. He was excepted from the general pardon proclaimed at the accession of Henry VIII. He became allied with Louis XII of France in the War of the League of Cambrai. Louis XII saw him as a more favourable ally and prospect for an English king than Henry VIII and when France went to war with England in 1512 he recognized Pole's pretensions to the English crown, and gave him a command in the French army. In 1513, after the execution of Edmund, he assumed the title of earl of Suffolk.

During 1514, the stage was set for a Yorkist reclaiming of England under Richard. In 1514 he was given 12,000 German mercenaries ostensibly for the defence of Brittany, but really for an invasion of England. These he led to St Malo, but the conclusion of peace with England prevented their embarcation. Pole was required to leave France, and he established himself at Metz, in Lorraine, and built a palace at La Haute Pierre, near St Simphorien.
While at Metz, he was visited by Pierre Alamire, the German-Netherlandish composer and music copyist, as a spy for Henry VIII. However De La Pole employed Alamire as a counter-spy against Henry, and Alamire, on being suspected of unreliability by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and Henry, never returned to England.
He had numerous interviews with Francois I, and in 1523 he was permitted, in concert with John Stewart, second Duke of Dal Riatany, the Scottish regent, to arrange an invasion of England, which was never carried out. He was with Francois I at Pavia and was killed on the field on 24 of Feb 1525.
Richard de la Pole was never known to have married, but he is known to have had a daughter by a mistress whose name is unknown. His daughter, Marguerite De La Pole, was lady of honour of the Queen of Navarre.

475 Thomas MORLEY m Elizabeth MAYCOTT (b 1515 Glynde) 1530 Glynde, Sussex

Thomas was a Protestant and he joined Pelham in a gesture of opposition to the Marian government in the spring and summer of 1558. After Morley had first refused to pay his contribution to the loan in May, he and Pelham were called before the Council in July for failing to supply demi-lances; they suffered a few days confinement in the Tower before submitting.
Moreley had added little to his inheritance although he was active in the Sussex iron industry, owning a large mill and furnace at Mayfield and trading through Portsmouth and elsewhere; his second son Anthony was to make an unsuccessful attempt to manufacture iron at Llanwonno and Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire.

By his will of 9 Jan. 1559, which he made on the day he died and was buried in Glynde church, probably a victim of the prevailing epidemic, Morley made careful provision for his wife and children, leaving £10 a year to Anthony for three years Ôto find him at the inns of courtÕ and instructing his eldest son and executor William, then aged 28, to see to the education of three other sons until they reached 20. He named Sir Nicholas Pelham overseer

Thomas built a forge in Hawkesden Park in Mayfield and in 1548/9 he reported with other commissioners on iron mills in Hastings rape. The only one of his successors to engage directly in the trade was Anthony, his second son; the later Morleys evidently preferred to lease Hawkesden forge to other iron masters.

Note: Elizabeth was the daughter of Anthony and Agnes MAYCOTT and after Thomas' death married John TREVOR

Glynde Place

Glynde Place (1569) was built by William. The house was built of Sussex flint and stone from Caen. It was square, with an inner courtyard. A doorway in the quadrangle bears his arms and initials and the date 1569.
William was sheriff for Surrey and Sussex in 1580, and contributed £60 to the defence of the realm in 1588. His loyalty to the Government was commended in a certificate concerning Sussex Justices, 1587, in which he was described with Thomas Pelham and John Selwyn as 'good justices, as well in respect of religion as of the commonwealth.

Richard Trevor (1707 - 71), Bishop of Durham, considerably altered the house. He turned the house back to front, so that the house looked east; he built an imposing coach house and stable block to the south; on his walls of knapped flint he erected two wyverns, the heraldic dragons of the Trevors. He created a new front hall, embellished the gallery panelling, added a marble fireplace, and added a set of bronzes

490 William MORLEY m Elizabeth CLARKE b 1657 Houghton Conquest) 16 Aug 1671 Glynde

William Morley emulated his father's generosity to evicted ministers by taking into his household a preacher named Zachary Smith, who became his chaplain and died at Glynde shortly before himself. He was returned to the first Exclusion Parliament for Lewes, five miles from Glynde, and was marked 'honest' on Shaftesbury's list. From his lodgings in Threadneedle Street he seems to have attended Parliament regularly, being appointed to the committee of elections and privileges on 18 Mar. 1679. He was in the House for the Sunday session on 11 May, at which it was resolved to bring in an exclusion bill, when he was taken ill with smallpox. He evidently sent word of his illness on the next day, for he was given leave to go into the country, but he was too ill to leave his lodgings, where he died 11 days later, the last of the family. Nevertheless he was listed as voting for the committal of the bill on 21 May.
