| 504 | Richard Borthwick, cites a reconstruction of this area by G. Washington in "The Parentage of William de Lancaster, Lord of Kendal" in 'Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archeological Society', LXII (1962), 95-100, incorporating as Part II, a section written by G. Andrews Moriarty. In this reconstruction Christina is daughter of Ivo de Taillebois by Lucy of Mercia and marries Chetell, d. aft. 1120, son of Eldred of Workington. They are parents of Orm who married Gunhilda/Gunnilda. It is through marriage to Christina, daughter of Ivo 1st Baron of Kendal that the Barony of Kendal is brought into the family, not through Eldred as Ancestral Roots implies. However Orm cannot be born too much after 1075, because he marries Gunnilda de Dunbar, whose father died in 1074. Since Christina de Taillebois, could not have been born before 1086, as that was when Ivo's 1st wife Judith of Lens died, I have placed Orm as the son of an "Unknown First Wife". It is the only way to make the dates work. It also has the added benefit of explaining why Gilbert (a younger son) became the next Baron of Kendal, inheriting it through his mother, rather than Orm (the elder son), who was the son of a prior wife. Note: Richard Borthwick's reconstruction also suggests (with little proof) that Gilbert is not a son of Chetell, but that he married Goditha, a daughter of Eldred of Workington. I have chosen not to follow that suggestion. | Of Kendal, Baron Ketel (Kettel\Chetell) (I70281)

[Magna Charta Sureties] Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, son of Walter de Burgh and Avalina Fitz John, and his wife Margaret, d. 1304.

(Earlier printings of this line show Richard de Burgh's wife as "said to be" a daughter of Sir John de Burgh. This is disproven by John C. Parsons in "Gen. Mag., cit; Anselme 6:167-168, 8:543 f.) [Ancestral Roots, Line 94a-31] Note: I previously had Magaret de Burgh, "said to be" daughter of John de Burgh, as Eleanor's mother. It turns out that Margaret/Margery de Burgh, daughter of John, was a nun. ----------------------- EARLDOM OF ULSTER (III, 2) RICHARD (DE BURGH), EARL OF ULSTER [IRL], son and heir, born circa 1259, was brought to the King at Woodstock, shortly before 27 December 1274, and granted seisin of his estates, 5 January 1279/80 (h). He harried the lands in Ulster of William FitzWarin in 1281; and was with Edward I during the King's progress through Wales, July to December 1284. In September 1286 he and other Irish nobles made a pact of mutual aid with some of the Scottish nobility (c). He surrendered the office of Keeper of the Isle of Man, June 12; and was summoned for service in Gascony, 1294, and Flanders, 1297, though later allowed to remain in Ireland. On 3 January 1295/6 he was summoned to muster at Whitehaven, 1 March, for an expedition to Scotland; he was among the Irish called upon in January 1299/1300 to consider aiding the King against the Scots; and was granted respite of payments of debt for service in Scotland, 1301. In 1302 he and others were asked to bring a large force from Ireland to Scotland. He was again in Scotland, 1303-04, while in February 1303/4 he held negotiations with Sir John Comyn, before he capitulated, 9 February, at Strathord. On 21 August 1309 he was appointed King's Commissioner to treat for peace with Robert Brus, but was given the command of the Irish troops to serve against the Scots, 26 October following, as also against Brus, 26 March 1314. Further demands for service against the Scots were made, 1322-23, but on 1 June 1323 his attendance was cancelled following a truce. Meanwhile in Ireland he led expeditions into Connaught and against the O'Neills, 1286, 1288, 1291 and 1292, and attacked the sept of O'Hanlon in 1291 and destroyed Roscommon in 1292. Conflict between the Earl and John FitzThomas, head of the Geraldines, led to the capture, 12 December 1294, of Richard, who was imprisoned in Lea Castle, Queen's co., till 12 March 1294/5. He only obtained his release by royal intervention and by surrendering his children as hostages. In October and November 1299 he had livery of his purparty of the lands of his uncle, Richard FitzJohn [Lord FitzJohn], in England and Ireland. Rights of free chace in his demesne lands in Ireland were granted to him, 1 May 1304, and he became guardian of the lands and heir of Ralph Pipard [Lord Pipard], 22 July following. He was Keeper of the royal castles of Athlone, 1305-07, and of Athlone, Randown and Roscommon, 16 Aug. 1309-March 1319. On 20 January 1306/7 the King granted him 1,000 marks to subdue Moryertagh Macnahegan and he led an expedition into Connaught, April following. He was appointed, 15 June 1308, the King's Lieutenant in Ireland; but next day this office was given to Piers (de Gavaston), Earl of Cornwall, whom Richard met at Drogheda in August. For his good services to the late King he was pardoned, 16 Aug. 1309, the yearly rent of 500 marks by which he held Connaught. He was summoned, 10 October 1314, to attend the Parliament [ENG] meeting at Westminster, 20 January fbllowing, and was again called to Westminster, 5 November 1317. After the invasion of Ireland by Edward Brus in May 1315, Earl Richard was defeated by him at Connor, co. Antrim, 10 September, and forced to retreat to Connaught, by then in a state of anarchy; and on 21 February 1316/7, when Edward and Robert Brus were threatening Dublin, the Earl and his kinsmen were seized by the Mayor and imprisoned in Dublin Castle on suspicion (probably unfounded) of complicity with Brus. The King having ordered an enquiry into the causes of this arrest, 23 April, Richard was released, 8 May 1317, and was about to go to the King through South Wales, August following. On 9 August 1318 he was one of the royal guarantors of the Treaty of Leake signed between Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and Edward Il; and in August 1323 he and others in Ireland were ordered to capture Roger, Lord Mortimer, who was reported to have escaped from the Tower of London. He built churches, granted lands to religious foundations and was a benefactor of the Cistercian house of St. Mary at Dunbrody, but he was accused of high-handed acts against the Bishops of Derry and Raphoe. He married, before 27 February 1280/1, Margaret [possible daughter of Arnoul III, Count of Guisnes, by Alice, daughter of Enguerrand III, Lord of Coucy], who died in 1304. Having been present, 11 May 1326, in the Irish Parliament held at Kilkenny, he went to the monastery at Athassel, where he died 29 July 1326 and was buried shortly before 29 August. [Complete Peerage XII/2: 173-7, XIV:619, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (h) The King was then doubtful if he had attained his majority. He was a minor in Oct 1278. On 15 Apr 1280 and in June 1283 he obtained lands of the dower of Emeline, Hugh de Lacy's widow, who d. 1276 and whose estates had been in the King's hands because of Richard's minority. In Dec. 1280 he is called the King's groom and he was allowed to pay his debts in instalments to the Exchequer at Dublin. Richard had a younger brother, Theobald, who d. 25 Dec 1303 at Carrickfergus, when returning from an expedition to Scotland, and a sister Jill (Egidia), who m. James, High Steward of Scotland. (c) Among the Scottish nobles was James, the High Steward, who m. Richard's sister Jill. | De Burgh, Earl Richard "The Red" (I69902)

| 509 | Richard Fitz Gilbert; also known as "de Bienfaite" (from the quantity of his fiefs [so states BP, but CP states Richard was lord of Bienfate & Orbec in Normandy]), "de Clare" or "de Tonbridge" (from actual fiefs); went with his cousin William I the Conqueror to England and was granted 176 Lordships, 95 of them associated with the Honour (feudal unit of administration) of Clare, Suffolk, and others with Tonbridge, Kent. [Burke's Peerage] ----------------------------- Richard FitzGilbert, having accompanied the Conqueror into England, participated in the spoils of conquest and obtained extensive possessions in the new and old dominions of his royal leader and kinsman. In 1073 we find him joined under the designation of Ricardus de Benefacta, with William de Warren, in the great office of Justiciary of England, with whom, in three years afterwards, he was in arms against the rebellious lords Robert de Britolio, Earl of Hereford, and Ralph Waher, or Guarder, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and behaved with great gallantry. But afterwards, at the time of the General Survey, which was towards the close of William's reign, he is called Ricardus de Tonebruge, from his seat at Tonebruge (now Tunbridge) in Kent, which town and castle he obtained from the archbishop of Canterbury in lieu of the castle of Brion, at which time he enjoyed thirty-eight lordships in Surrey, thirty-five in Essex, three in Cambridgeshire, with some others in Wilts and Devon, and ninety-five in Suffolk, amongst those was Clare, whence he was occasionally styled Richard de Clare, and that place in a few years afterwards becoming the chief seat of the family, his descendants are said to have assumed thereupon the title of Earls of Clare.

The lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray, but partially recovered by Robert I's grandson, Robert III de Stuteville. He was a benefactor of Durham and an entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert, Gradulf and William. In a claim made by his great grandson William, he was described as Robert Grandboeuf. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz Hugh de Grandmesnil whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae.

Indeed his younger brother became Earl of Warwick. Robert also held territory in Normandy and is usually referred to as Count of Meulan. He was a leading political figure in the reigns of William II and Henry I and on the death of one Ives de Grandmesnil in the First Crusade, the funds for campaigning in which Ives had raised from Robert on the security of his estates, [Robert] came into full possession of them, including a sizeable part of Leicester. The rest of the town was granted him by Henry I and it is possible that he became Earl of Leicester. | De Beaumont, Robert 1st Earl Of Leicester (I21401)

(2) 1302 Elizabeth, d. 26 Oct 1327, daughter of Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster. (Donald, 6th Earl of Mar, was son of William, Earl of Mar, d. c 1281, by his 1st wife Elizabeth, d. 1267, daughter of William Comyn, Earl of Buchan, in right of his 2nd wife, Countess of Buchan). Donald, Earl of Mar, was knighted 1270, living 25 July 1297, d. shortly thereafter. His wife, and mother of Isabel, was Helen, widow of Malcolm, 7th Earl of Fife, d. 1266, and daughter of Llewellyn, Prince of North Wales. Helen's first husband must have been an old man when she married him, for he succeeded his uncle in 1228. When he died, his son and heir was Colban, the 8th Earl, then under age, who had been knighted in his teens in 1264. Colban was married in his nonage, for when he died in 1270, when he could not have been more than 24, his heir was his son Duncan, aged 8. (Mr. Balfour Paul believes Colban's wife Alice was one of three daughters and co-heirs of Sir Alan Durward. If so, his issue shared with the Soulis family the descent from Alexander II of Scotland. However, since the line of his heir Duncan has died out, remaining descendants of this line would stem from younger children of Colban and Alice, if there were any.) The Helen, daughter of Llewellyn, who was successively the wife of Malcolm and of Donald, and mother of the children of both, appears clearly the daughter of Llewellyn ap Iorwerth but must not be confused with his daughter Helen, successively the wife of John le Scot, Earl of Chester, and of Robert de Quincy, whose mother was Princess Joan. [Ancestral Roots, Line 252-30] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------- Notes from Sally Walmsley [Geniedash@bigpond.com]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ---------------- Much of what has been written about Bruce is misleading. In addition to his being Earl of Carrick, Lord of Annandale and Keeper of the Royal Forests of Scotland, Bruce was Lord of the Manor of Huntingdon, owned a town house in London and a suburban manor in Tottenham. Two years before the rising, his brother Alexander took his MA. at Cambridge. Bruce was no wild Scottish chieftain, but an educated noble of Flemish extraction. In 1306, the titular King of Scotland was John Baliol, a 'lamb among wolves' who had achieved the throne through the backing of Edward of England and John Comyn of Badenoch, head of the most powerful family in Scotland at that time. Baliol had fled to France with no intention of returning, leaving Scotland virtually kingless. Bruce had seemingly started planning his rising in 1304, but everything hinged upon the support of John Comyn, a difficult person: the Red comyn must either support Bruce or be dead. The climax came in 1306, when Bruce met the Comyn in Greyfriars church in Dumfries. As they stood before the alter and argued, knives were drawn, and John Comyn fell wounded. According to legend, Bruce ran out of the church crying 'I doubt I have slain the Red Comyn'. Kilpatrick answered his "Do you so doubt? Then I'll mak siccar', and rushed into the church followed by Sir Robert Boyd and finished the job. Legendary as this may be, the fact is that both John Comyn of Badenoch and Sir Robert Comyn were both killed. This was the signal for Bruce's uprising to start. Bruce first went to his castle at Lochmaben, and then to Glasgown to secure the Clyde for his supplies from Ireland. Sir Robert Boyd took Rothesay castle from the sea, and laid siege to Inverkip. Six weeks after the Comyn's death, Bruce was crowned King of Scotland at Scone. Robert Bruce's reign was soon in trouble. Three months after he was crowned, he was defeated by the English at Methven, and again near Tyndrum, and had to go into hiding, his queen and daughter sent with the ladies of his supporters to Kildrummy castle in the charge of the earl of Athol, Alexander Lindsay and Sir Robert Boyd. The following year the king returned. Douglas and Sir Robert Boyd led the attack on Arran from Kintrye, but their attack on Turnberry castle, Bruce's own castle, failed. Bruce then raised his standard at Loch Trocl in Galloway, where he defeated an English force sent to capture him. He marched north to defeat the English at Loudoun Hill, defeated John Comyn, Earl of Buchan, at Barrs Hill, and subdued the Earl of Ross. In c1308, Parliament was called at St Andrews and re-affirmed Bruce as King. During the next few years, Bruce consolidated his position, capturing all the English-held castles except Stirling, and repulsing an expedition of Edward II of England in 1310. The climax came in 1314 at the Battle of Bannockburn, where Sir Robert Boyd was one of his principle commanders. 'Blind Harry' wrote of this battle:- Ranged on the right the Southron legions stood, And on this right the fiery Edward Bruce, With him the experienced Boyd devides the sway, Sent by the King to guide him through the day. | Of Scotland, King Robert I "The Bruce" (I69938)

(1) 22 Nov 1347 (Papal dispensation), Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Mure, of Rowallan, co. Ayr, and Joan Cunningham. [Magna Charta Sureties] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Robert II (March 2, 1316- April 19, 1390), king of Scotland, called "the Steward", a title that gave the name to the House of Stewart (or Stuart). Robert was the sole son of Walter, the 6th High Steward of Scotland (d. 1326), and Marjorie (d. 1316 in childbirth), daughter of King Robert the Bruce. In 1318 the Scottish parliament decreed that if King Robert died without sons the crown should pass to his grandson; but the birth of a son afterwards, King David II, to Bruce in 1324 postponed the accession of Robert for nearly forty-two years. Soon after the infant David became king in 1329, the Steward began to take a prominent part in the affairs of Scotland. He was one of the leaders of the Scottish army at the battle of Halidon Hill in July 1333; and after gaining some successes over the adherents of Edward Balliol in the west of Scotland, he and John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray (d. 1346), were chosen as regents of the kingdom, while David sought safety in France. The colleagues soon quarrelled; then Randolph fell into the hands of the English and Robert became sole regent, meeting with such success in his efforts to restore the royal authority that the king was able to return to Scotland in 1341. Having handed over the duties of government to David, the Steward escaped from the battle of Neville's Cross in 1346, and was again chosen regent while the king was a captive in England. Soon after this event some friction arose between Robert and his royal uncle. Accused, probably without truth, of desertion at Neville's Cross, the Steward as heir-presumptive was greatly chagrined by the king's proposal to make Edward III of England, or one of his sons, the heir to the Scottish throne, and by David's marriage with Margaret Logie. In 1363 he rose in rebellion, and after having made his submission was seized and imprisoned together with four of his sons, being only released a short time before David's death in February 1371. By the terms of the decree of 1318 Robert now succeeded to the throne, and was crowned at Scone in March 1371. He was not a particularly active king. Some steps were taken by the nobles to control the royal authority. In 1378 a war broke out with England; but the king took no part in the fighting, which included the burning of Edinburgh and the Scottish victory at the Battle of Otterbourne in 1388. As age and infirmity were telling upon him, the estates in 1389 appointed his second surviving son Robert, Earl of Fife, afterwards Duke of Albany, guardian of the kingdom. The king died at Dundonald in 1390, and was buried at Scone. His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Adam Mure of Rowallan, a lady who had formerly been his mistress. Robert had married her in 1336, but as the marriage had been criticised as uncanonical, he remarried her in 1349. By her he had at least four sons, including Alexander of Buchan, Robert of Albany, his successor Robert III, and six daughters. By his second wife, Euphemia, daughter of Hugh, 6th Earl of Ross, and widow of the 3rd Earl of Moray, formerly his colleague as regent, he had two sons and several daughters. The confusion about the circumstances of his first marriage would later lead to conflict amongst the descendants of his first marriage (which included James I of Scotland) and the unquestionably legitimate descendants of his second marriage. Robert had also eight illegitimate children, mostly by unknown mothers. | Stewart Of Scotland, King Robert II (I69932)

[Magna Charta Sureties] ------------------------ Robertt III..., after having ruled Scotland in the name of his father, Robert II, from 1384 to 1388, physically disabled by a kick from a horse, he was never the real ruler of Scotland during the years of his kingship. The eldest son of Robert the Steward and Elizabeth Mure, he was legitimized by their marriage several years after his birth. In 1362-3 he joined his father in a futile revolt against King David II, who both imprisoned him and created him Earl of Carrick in 1368. (He had been created Earl of Atholl in 1367.) Robert II became king in 1371; in 1384, because of his advanced age, he turned over the government to Carrick. After his injury in 1388, however, Carrick was supplanted by his brother Robert, Earl of Fife. On his accession, probably on April 19, 1390, he changed his name to Robert III from John to avoid reminding others of John de Balliol, King of Scotland from 1292 to 1296, who was not favourably remembered. Fife, created Duke of Albany in 1398, continued to govern throughout this reign, except for three years (1398-1402) when Robert III's eldest son, David Duke of Rothesay, took his place. The dissolute Rothesay died in March 1402 while imprisoned in Albany's castle of Falkland, Fife. Perhaps in an attempt to save his remaining son, James (afterward James I King of Scotland) from death at Albany's hands, Robert III sent the boy to France, but James was captured by English sailors, a shock to the aging king.

[Burke's Peerage] -------------------------------------------- Even though BP, above states that they are the same person, there is no definite proof either way. One person in soc.genealogy.medieval has speculated that Robert of Belvoir was son of Roger de Toeni by his Spanish 1st wife, while Robert de Stafford was a younger son by his 2nd wife Godheut. It makes sense to me, which is why I have portrayed my pedigree that way. ------------------------------------------- Amongst the most distinguished companion in arms of the Conqueror was Robert de Todeni, a nobleman of Normandy, upon whom the victorious monarch conferred, with numerous other grants, an estate in the county of Lincoln upon the borders of Leicestershire. Here de Todeni erected a stately castle and, from the fair view it commanded, gave it the designation of Belvoir Castle, and here he established his chief abode. At the time of the General Survey, this powerful personage possessed no less than eighty extensive lordships, viz., two in Yorkshire, one in Essex, four in Suffolk, one in Cambridge, two in Hertfordshire, three in Bucks, four in Gloucestershire, three in Bedfordshire, nine in Northamptonshire, two in Rutland, thirty-two in Lincolnshire, and seventeen in Leicestershire. "of this Robert," saith Dugdale, "I have not seen any other memorial than that the Coucher-Book of Belvoir recordeth: which is, that bearing a venerable esteem to our sometime much celebrated protomartyr, St. Alban, he founded near to his castle a priory for monks and annexed it as a cell to that great abbey in Hertfordshire, formerly erected by the devout King Offa in honour of that most holy man." Robert de Todeni, Lord of Belvoir, d. in 1088, leaving issue by his wife Adela, William, who assumed the surname of Albini; Berenger; Geoffrey; Robert; and Agnes. He was s. by his eldest son, William de Albini, Brito, Lord of Belvoir. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 160, Daubeney, Barons Daubeney, Earl of Bridgewater] Note: Robert was father of Adeliza, who married Roger Bigod and had Cecily, who married William de Albini. William did succeed Robert as Lord of Belvoir, but as a grandson-in-law, not as a son as Sir Bernard Burke states in "Dormant & Extinct Peerages" above. ------------------------------------------ The following information was in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com: Robert de Tosny. Founder of Belvoir Castle. Holdings in 13 counties from Herts. north. [Ref: Domesday Online] Robert de Todeni, one of the Norman barons who came into England in 1066 as a standard bearer of Duke William, was the founder of this renowned, ancient family. For his distinguished services at Hastings, the victorious monarch rewarded him with the eight lordships he possessed in twelve counties at the time of the first General Survey of England. On one of his estates in Lincolnshire, near the border of Leicestershire, he erected a castle which he named Belvoir, from its commanding position, and this became his chief seat. He died in 1088, leaving by his wife, Adela, a son, William. [Ref: McBride2 citing Wurts Vol I p39-42] Robert de TOSNY, of Belvoir. Died About 1093. Held Belvoir, Leics, at the Domesday Survey. Robert was related to the Tosnys of Flamstead but it is not known for certain what this relationship was.

By agreement, 30 Mar 1371, with Isabel, suo jure Countess of Fife, he became, on her resignation, Earl of Fife, by which later title he was generally known. Great Chamberlain 1383-1407. He mad two successful raids into England, one in 1385, and another in 1388. On 1 Dec 1388 the King (his father), being aged, and his eldest brother (afterwards Robert II) infirm, he was made, by Parliament, Guardian of the Realm, and, as such, agreed to a treaty with the English in 1389; but on 27 Jan 1398/9, he was superseded, by the appointment of David, the heir apparent of the throne, as "King's Lieutenant" with as ample powers as his (David's) uncle (the said Duke) had as "Guardian of the Realm". On the death, sp. legit, of his brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, he appears to have been considered to have succeeded to that Earldom, (recognized to the said Alexander, 25 July 1382) which he resigned 20 Sep 1406. In Mar 1398 he, with his said nephew David, had an interview at Haudenstank with John, Duke of Lancaster, and other English Commissioners, and shortly afterwards, he and his said nephew were each advanced to a Dukedom (the first Dukes ever made in Scotland), he being, on 28 Apr 1398, created Duke of Albany, in a solemn Council held at Scone. For his complicity in the arrest of his said nephew, David, then Duke of Rothesay (who d. a prisoner in Albany's Castle of Falkland, 27 Mar 1402), he received a remission from Parliament. After his nephew's death, the Duke assumed the then vacant office of "King's Lieutenant"; and by Charter, 2 Sep 1403, was created Earl of Atholl, during the life of the reigning King, with remainder (should he die before the said King) to his 2nd son John. By the death of the said King, 4 Apr 1406, this Earldom consequently became extinct. At the council held June 1406, after the death of his brother Robert III, he was made Regent, the King (his nephew James I), being then a prisoner in England, which Kingdom accordingly he again invaded in 1417, but on this occasion without success. He m., 1stly (dispensation 9 Sep 1361), Margaret, suo jure Countess of Menteith (who had previously been the wife of Sir John Moray of Bothwell (dsp. 1352), of Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Mar, and of Sir John Drummond of Concraig), daughter (only surviving child & heir) of John Graham, jure uxoris Earl of Menteith, by Mary, suo jure Countess of Menteith. She d. about 1380, between 21 Jul 1372 and 4 May 1380.

His widow d. shortly before Whitsunday (1 June) 1449. [Complete Peerage I:77-79, XIV:15] Note: Albany is that part of Scotland which lies north of the Firths of Clyde & Forth, including all of the highlands, which was the ancient kingdom of Albans. Also note that James I was a prisoner because his father (Robert III) felt the need to send him to France in order to protect him from the Duke of Albany (otherwise he would have suffered the same fate as his brother David). But the ship he was on, bound for France, was captured by the English, and James was taken prisoner for a very long time. The Duke of Albany was sometimes blamed for not ransoming James earlier, but apparently the fault lay with the English, who had no desire to free him. | Stewart Of Albany, Sir Robert (I70021)

That Roger took his name from Beaumont is a part of the general history of Normandy.

[Burke's Peerage] ---------------------- ROGER DE TOENI III, styled also DE CONCHES, 1st son and heir, was born probably about 1104, and succeeded his father about 1126. In 1131 he attested Henry I's pancarte confirming all the grants of his ancestors and himself and others to the abbey of Conches. He is said to have waged war with Hugh de Chateauneuf in 1133. In 1135 the King suspected that he was preparing to rebel, together with William Talvas, Count of Ponthieu, on behalf of Henry's son-in-law, Geoffrey Plantagenet, and sent his own soldiers to garrison the castle of Conches. After the King's death Roger supported Geoffrey and his wife the Empress Maud against Stephen. After Easter 1136 hostilities began between him and the King's generals, the twins Waleran, Count of Meulan, and Robert, Earl of Leicester; and civil war raged in May and June. In the autumn the fighting flared up again; but on 3 October Roger was ambushed and captured by Count Waleran and Henry de la Pommeraye. His land was laid under an interdict and he was kept in prison for more than 6 months, but was released in 1137. In May 1138 he was attacked by the Count of Meulan and William d'Ypres, but defended himself successfully; and on 7 September he captured Breteuil and burnt the town. However, before the end of 1138 he made peace with the twin Earls, who conducted him to England, where he was reconciled to King Stephen. Nothing is known of what happened to his English lands during this period. In 1150 or 1151 he was with Henry, Duke of Normandy, at Rouen. After Henry had become King, Roger enjoyed the royal favour; for between Michaelmas 1157 and Michaelmas 1158 the King granted him 100 solidates of land at Holkham, Norfolk.

| 535 | Shrewsbury, Earldom of: In early December 1074 Roger de Montgomery was created Earl of Shropshire or Shrewsbury. As with other medieval earldoms, little distinction was then made between the county town and county proper when designating a specific name for a title, chiefly because an earl, who was then more or less and official, albeit often hereditary, was inconceivable except as earl of a county. Roger was son of another Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of the Norman places (St Germain-de-Montgomery and Ste-Foy-de-Montgomery) of that name in the Calvados region. He was a prominent member of the nobles grouped around William (later William I of England, The Conqueror) of Normandy well before the 1066 invasion of England but stayed behind in Normandy during the actual enterprise. The year after Hastings he went to England and received land grants in Sussex. He is thought to have constructed the Castle of Montgomery (now in Powys, but formerly named Mongomeryshire after his family), doing so shortly before the Domesday Survey.

[Burke's Peerage] --------------------------------------------- The following is from "Scotland and her Tartans" by Alexander Fulton. The first known Fraser in Scotland was Simon Fraser, who in about 1160 donated the Church of Keith to Kelso Abbey. The name came from the lordship of LaFraseliere in Anjou, and a descendant of Simon Fraser, Sir Gilbert Fraser, established the main line of the family in about 1250 at Touch-Fraser, Stirlingshire. His direct descendant, Alexander Fraser was knighted by King Robert I (the Bruce) before the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. After the battle he married the Bruce's sister, Lady Mary - who had been strung up in a cage for four years by King Edward I of England in reprisal for the Bruce's coronation - and he was later Chamberlain of Scotland. Their grandson gained the lands of Philorth in Buchan by his marriage in 1375. | Fraser, Baron Alexander (I70087)

| 543 | Sir Andrew Fraser, Yr of Touchfraser; Sheriff of Stirling; married Beatrix, an heiress, probably of the Le Chens of Duffus, and died by 1306. [Burke's Peerage] Notes for Sir Andrew Fraser: Sheriff of Stirling "Sir Andrew Fraser, second son of Sir Gilbert and uncle of Sir Simon [actually a cousin, once removed], became, on the death of the patriot, the male representative of the Fraser family. He possessed the lands of Touch, in Stirlingshire, and of Struthers, in Fife, afterwards the property of the Lindsays, Earls of Crawford. 'He was,' says Anderson, the historian of the family, 'the first of the name of Fraser who established an interest for himself and his descendants in the northern parts of Scotland, and more especially in Inverness-shire, where they have ever since figured with such renown and distinction.' The mother of Sir Simon the patriot was one of the Bissets of Lovat, a great family long ago extinct, and probably this fact had some influence in obtaining from James I for Hugh Fraser, the first of the Frasers of Lovat, the gift of the extensive estates of the Bissets, on the Beauly Firth, which still remain in the possession of the head of the clan." | Fraser, Sir Andrew (I70088)
