| Note | Event Memos from GEDCOM Import... Residence William de Lancaster I, or William Fitz Gilbert, possibly also referred to as William de Tailboys (de Taillebois), was the first person of whom we have any record to bear the name of Lancaster and pass it on to his descendants as a family name. William de Lancaster is often described as having been a Baron of Kendal. In fact this is not so clear. William Farrer, in his Introduction to the The Records of Kendal, argues that the Barony did not yet exist. Part of the problem comes from the time he lived in. Fewer records were kept than in later times. Inheritance rules and other regularities which help us guess what happened in the later Middle Ages were not yet fixed and predictable in their workings. William lived in a time of turmoil, with two rival claims to the throne of England (Stephen of England and Empress Matilda) and a major period of Scottish rule under David I of Scotland in the Northwest of England where William's holdings were. Most securely, we can say that William's father was named Gilbert, and his mother was Godith. They are both mentioned clearly in a benefaction of William to St Mary de Pré. Indeed, William was often referred to as William the son of Gilbert. William was also said to have descended from both Ivo de Taillebois and Elred of Workington, contemporaries of William the Conqueror, but the exact nature of the relationship is unclear and indeed controversial. Most likely, the connection is through daughters or illegitimate sons of these two men. William married Gundreda, perhaps his second wife, who was said to be the daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. She was the widow of Roger, the Earl of Warwick. Note that King Stephen's son, William, married Gundred's niece, Isabel de Warenne. This implies a very close relationship with the King's party. William had issue: * Avicia, who married first to William de Peveral, and secondly to Richard de Morville, constable of Scotland. * William, who became William de Lancaster II, and whose legitimate heir Helewise de Lancaster married Gilbert son of Roger Fitz Reinfrid. * Jordan, who died young, and is mentioned in a benefaction to St Mary de Pré in Leicester. In the same benefaction, William II is also mentioned, apparently an adult. * Agnes who married Alexnader de Windsore (Farrer 1906). * Sigrid, married to William the clerk of Garstang. (Farrer 1906). Gilbert fitz Reinfrid and Helewise's son William also took up the name de Lancaster, becoming William de Lancaster III. He died without male heirs, heavily indebted - apparently due to payments demanded after he and his father were involved in the Baron's revolt. William de Lancaster III's half brother Roger de Lancaster of Rydal inherited some of the Lancaster importance. It is thought that Roger was a son of Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid, but not of Helewise de Lancaster. Roger is widely thought to be the ancestor of the Lancasters of Howgill and Rydal in Westmorland. (In fact the line starts with one John de Lancaster of Howgill, whose connection to Roger de Lancaster and his son, John de Lancaster of Grisedale and Stanstead, is unclear except for the fact that he took over Rydal and Grasmere from the latter John.) The Lancasters of Sockbridge, Crake Trees, and several other manors in Westmorland, were apparently descended from William de Lancaster II's illegitimate son Gilbert de Lancaster. William de Lancaster I or perhaps his son William de Lancaster II, is also said to have been the uncle of royal falconer Warine de Lancaster, the ancestor of the noble Lancaster de Lea family, which eventually lost power in the time of Thomas de Lancaster, who was a member of the Plantagenet royal family. Another Lancaster family, in Rainhill in Lancashire, also seems to have claimed descent, given that they used the same coat of arms as Gilbert Fitz Reinfrid and his sons. However the exact nature of the link is unknown. |

| Residence | He resided Robert de Beaumont, 3rd Earl of Leicester (died 1190) was an English nobleman, one of the principal followers of Henry the Young King in the Revolt of 1173-1174 against his father Henry II. He is also called Robert Blanchemains (meaning 'White Hands' in French). He was the son of Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, a staunch supporter of Henry II, and he inherited from his father large estates in England and Normandy. When the revolt of the younger Henry broke out in April 1173, Robert went to his castle at Breteuil in Normandy. The rebels' aim was to take control of the duchy, but Henry II himself led an army to besiege the castle; Robert fled, and the Breteuil was taken on September 25 or 26. Robert apparently went to Flanders, where he raised a large force of mercenaries, and landed at Walton, Suffolk, on September 29, 1173. He joined forces with Hugh Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and the two marched west, aiming to cut England in two across the Midlands and to relieve the king's siege of Robert's castle at Leicester. However, they were intercepted by the king's supporters and defeated in battle at Fornham, near Bury St Edmunds, on October 17. Robert, along with his wife and many others, was taken prisoner. Henry II took away the earl's lands and titles as well. He remained in captivity until January 1177, well after most of the other prisoners had been released. The king was in a strong position and could afford to be merciful; not long after his release Robert's lands and titles were restored, but not his castles. All but two of his castles had been destroyed, and those two (Montsorrel in Leicestershire and Pacy in Normandy) remained in the king's hands. Robert had little influence in the remaining years of Henry II's reign, but was restored to favor by Richard I. He carried one of the swords of state at Richard's coronation in 1189. In 1190 Robert went on pilgrimage to Palestine, but he died in Greece on his return journey. Robert married Pernelle, who was either a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of Hugh de Grandmesnil. They had five children: * Robert, who succeeded his father as Earl of Leicester; * Roger, who became Bishop of St Andrews in 1189; * William, who was a leper; * Amicia, who married Simon III de Montfort, and whose son Simon subsequently became Earl of Leicester; * Margaret, who married Saer de Quincy, later 1st Earl of Winchester.1 |
