Faris (1999, pp. 337-338) [quote] MARGARET DE AUDLEY, Lady Audley, daughter and heiress, was born about or before 1325 (aged eighteen before 1343). She was married before 6 July 1336 to RALPH DE STAFFORD, Baron of Stafford, co. Stafford, 2nd Lord Stafford, son and heir of Edmund Stafford, Baron of Stafford, co. Stafford, by Margaret, daughter of Ralph Basset, Lord Basset of Drayton, co. Stafford (descendant of Charlemagne). He was born on 24 Sep 1301. He had been married previously about 1326/7 to Katherine de Hastang, daughter of John de Hastang, Knt., of Chebsey, co. Stafford, by his wife Eve. Ralph's first wife, Katherine, died well before 6 July 1336, on which date a commission was appointed to enquire into a complaint by Hugh de Audley, Lord Audley, soon to be created Earl of Gloucester, that Ralph de Stafford and others (mostly relatives) broke his close at Thaxted, Essex, carried away his goods, abducted Margaret his daughter and heiress, and married her against her will. Margaret was then aged about twelve. King Edward III intervened to protect Ralph, and, after making his peace, Ralph and Margaret were given the reversion to a large part of the Gloucester inheritance. They had two sons and five daughters. MARGARET DE AUDLEY died on 16 Sep. 1348 (perhaps following the birth of her youngest child Katherine), and was buried at Tonbridge, Kent. Ralph was summoned to Parliament from 29 Nov. 1336 as Raduipho Baroni de Stafford, and was a Founder Knight of the Order of the Garter on 23 Apr. 1349. He was created Earl of Stafford on 5 Mar. 1350/1. RALPH DE STAFFORD, 1st Earl of Stafford, died testate on 31 Aug. 1372, and was buried at Tonbridge, with his second wife, at the feet of Margaret's parents.

Thomas de Beauchamp KG, 11th Earl of Warwick lived at Elmley Castle, Worcestershire, England.⁶

; "Thomas de Beauchamp, 3rd earl, regarding who we find the king (Edward II.) in two years subsequently soliciting a dispensation from the pope, to enable him to marry his cousin Catherine, dau. of Roger de Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, under whose guardianship the young earl had been placed; an alliance eventually formed, when his lordship had completed his fifteenth year. In two years, afterwards, the earl, by special licence from the crown, was allowed to do homage, and to assume his hereditary offices of sheriff of Worcestershire, and chamberlain of the exchequer. This nobleman sustained in the brilliant reign of Edward III. the high military renown of his illustrious progenitor, and became distinguished in arms almost from his boyhood. So early as the third year of that monarch, he commanded the left wing of the king’s army at Wyzonfosse, where Edward proposed to give the French battle, and from that period was the constant companion of the king, and his gallant son, in all their splendid campaigns. At Cressy, he had a principal command in the van of the English army, under the Prince of Wales, and at Poietiers [sic], where Dugdale says he fought so long and so stoutly, that his hand was galled with the exercise of his sword and pole-axe; he personally took Wilham de Melleun, archbishop of Sens, prisoner, for whose ransom he obtained 8,000 marks. After these heroic achievements in France, the earl arrayed himself under the banner of the cross, and reaped fresh laurels on the plains of Palestine, whence upon his return he brought home the son of the King of Lithuania, whom he had christened at London by the name of Thomas, answering for the new convert himself at the baptismal font; for his lordship was not more distinguished by his valour than his piety, as his numerous and liberal donations to the church while living, and bequests at his decease, testify. This nobleman rebuilt the walls of Warwick Castle, which had been demolished in the time of the Mauduits; adding strong gates, with fortified gateways, and embattled towers; he likewise founded the choir of the collegiate church of St. Mary, built a booth hall in the market place and made the town of Warwick toll free. His lordship had issue, by the Countess already mentioned, seven sons and nine daus.: viz.,
Guy, called by Dugdale, a "stout soldier," m. Philippa, dau. of Henry, Lord Ferrars, of Groby, and dying before his father, left three daus; viz., Katherine, Elizabeth and Margaret (nuns at Shouldham, in Norfolk).

; The account in CP under Grey (of Wilton) states succinctly, with regard to Sir Reynold de Grey of Ruthin (d. 5 Apr 1308),

' He m. Maud, da. and h. of Sir Henry de Longchamp, of Wilton, co. Hereford (f). ' [1]

With regard to Maud's mother, she is known from other sources to have been Joan, wife of (1stly) Thomas de Birkin, and (2ndly) Henry de Longchamp, during or after 16 Sept 1230 [2].

No source I had seen to date had identified the mother of Joan. However, I find the following written by Paul Martin Remfry concerning Wilton Castle and its tenant families:

' On 16 September 1230 Henry Longchamp of Wilton fined
50m with the king for the right to marry Joanne the widow
of Thomas Birkyn (93). The match was obviously made with
the assent of the lady's father, John Lacy the constable
of Chester, for he pledged Henry to be capable of meeting
his obligations. ' [3]

Further, Remfry noted re: the extent of the Longchamp holdings in Northants., taken in 1242-3 after Henry's death in 1237:

' Finally in Northamptonshire Henry held a sixth of a fee
from the barony of the deceased Earl John Lacy of Lincoln.
This fee probably came to Henry when he took John's
daughter, Joanne to wife in 1230, although as has been
mentioned above this may have been part of the service
which the early Longchamps owed at Chester (193).' [4]

Remfry obviously noted the pledge of the Constable of Chester, John de Lacy (later Earl of Lincoln, de jure uxoris) as an important part of the text of the 1230 fine, although it is not obvious from the text or notes cited above what Remfry's basis was for determining that Joan was the daughter of John de Lacy. Perhaps the Longchamp holding in co. Northants. cited by Remfry may assist in verifying this relationship.

If this identification is correct, it is an important addition to the ancestry of Maud de Longchamp, and by extension of her many descendants - the Lords Grey (of Wilton, Groby, & c.), the Marquesses of Dorset, Lady Jane Grey and QE II, and a number of SGM list members, to name only a very few. This will most likely be further enhanced when a precise identification of Maud de Longchamp's mother is made: based on what is known of the career of John de Lacy, and the chronology of the individuals involved, this would most likely have been his first wife, Alice de L'Aigle. If this is validated, this would provide further Plantagenet ancestry, as Alice de L'Aigle was evidently a granddaughter of Hamelin 'de Warenne', earl of Surrey (d. 7 May 1202), the illegitimate son of Geoffrey 'Plantagenet' [5].

Any further documentation, comment or observation will be certainly welcome. I will be happy to post relevant pedigrees reflecting this descent, once its reasonableness or validation is established.

Cheers, John *

     BIRTH     25 Apr 1287, Wigmore, Herefordshire Unitary Authority, Herefordshire, England
     DEATH     29 Nov 1330 (aged 43), London, City of London, Greater London, England
     English Aristocracy. 1st Earl of March. Born at Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire, the firstborn of Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer and his wife, Margaret de Fiennes. At about age 15 he was betrothed to Joan de Geneville, the couple would eventually have at least eleven children. In July 1304 his father was killed in a military skirmish, and as de Mortimer was underage at the time, the king placed him in the custody of his controversial favorite, Piers Gaveston. Within a year he was knighted by King Edward. In 1314, he fought at the famed Battle of Bannockburn in Scotland; in 1315 he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. As Edward II's reign faltered, de Mortimer joined the growing opposition to Edward II and his new favorites. Edward's army crushed the baronial revolt in January, 1322. de Mortimer was taken prisoner and incarcerated in the Tower. He escaped in 1324 and fled to France. By the following year, Edward's Queeen, Isabelle came to France to see her bother, Charles IV, in pursuit of peace talks. She found de Mortimer at the French court, and entered into an intrigue and also began an affair with him. The controversy they engendered at court necessitated a move to Flanders from whence they launched an invasion in the name of the Prince of Wales, landing in England in September 1326. Their force was joined by Henry, Earl of Lancaster; and London rose in support of the queen, the king fled, but was captured by November. Parliament granted their demand for the king's deposition, and cleared the way for the succession of his son Edward III. For nearly four years the Queen and de Mortimer ruled the country as regents to the underage king. In pursuit of his ambition, he was made constable of Wallingford Castle, and in September 1328 he was created Earl of March, he took over the lordships of Denbigh, Oswestry, and Clun, and he was granted the marcher lordship over Montgomery by the Queen. In March 1330, he ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the half-brother of Edward II, finally pushing the young king and his allies to take action. Days before the king's eighteenth birthday, de Mortimer and the Queen were seized, he was sent under guard to the Tower. Charged with assuming royal power and other high misdemeanors, he was condemned without trial and hanged at Tyburn, his estates forfeit to the crown. His long neglected widow received a pardon in 1336 for her associations. A letter was recently discovered in which she petitioned Edward III for the return of her husband's body for burial at Wigmore Abbey, he had been initially buried at Greyfriars, Coventry following his hanging, Edward III refused.

     "ISABELLE de France (Paris [1291/92]-Castle Rising, Norfolk or Hertford Castle 21 Nov 1358, bur Greyfriars Church, Newgate, London). Père Anselme states that Isabelle was born in 1292 but does not cite the primary source on which he bases this date[787]. The chronology of the births of Philippe IV’s children is tight and would fit better if Isabelle was born in 1291. Edward I King of England appointed “Amadeum comitem Sabaudiæ consanguineum nostrum” as proxy for the marriages between “nos et Margaretam sororem...regis Franciæ...ac inter Edwardum filium nostrum et Isabellam...regis Franciæ filiam” by charter dated 12 May 1299[788]. The betrothal contract between “Ed. filz du roi d´Angleterre” and “Isabel fille du roi de France” is dated 20 May 1303[789]. The Annales Londonienses record the marriage "apud Boloniam…in festo Conversionis Sancti Pauli" in 1308 of "rex Edwardus" and "Isabellam filiam regis Franciæ Philippi"[790]. The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the marriage in Jan 1308 "apud Boloniam supra mare" of "Eduardus Angliæ rex" and "filiam unicam regis Franciæ Philippi...Isabellam"[791]. The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbrook records the marriage “apud Boloniam...V Kal Feb” of “rex Edwardus” and “Isabellam filiam...regis Francie”[792]. She was crowned Queen of England with her husband [23/25] Feb 1308. The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbrook records the return of the couple to England 5 Feb and their coronation “VII Kal Mar...apud Westmonasterium”[793]. Her relationship with her husband steadily deteriorated over the years, culminating in her flight to France to seek the protection of her brother Philippe V King of France. In 1324, she started a love affair with Roger Mortimer, and together they plotted her husband's overthrow. She was declared head of the Council of Regency by Parliament on the deposition of her husband. However, her rule was unpopular. She signed an unfavourable treaty with France and recognised Robert Bruce as king of Scotland for the first time. In addition, Mortimer alienated the barons with his territorial ambitions. Her son seized power, had Mortimer arrested after a Great Council meeting at Nottingham 19 Oct 1330 and condemned him to death. Isabelle thereafter lived in retirement. Froissart records that Isabelle went to "Ostrevant en Haynau en un chastel…Buignicourt dont messires Nicoles d´Aubrecicourt estoit sires"[794]. The Chronicon Angliæ records the death “die Sancti Rufi martyris” of “domina mater regis Edwardi domina Ysabella” and her burial “in ecclesia Fratrum Minorum Londoniis”, dated to 1357 from the context[795].

In the 47th of Henry III he was made justice of Ireland; and in the same year, upon the misunderstanding between the king and the barons, regarding the provisions of Oxford, being referred to the arbitration of the monarch of France, he was one of the noblemen who undertook for the king therein. The next year we find him with Roger de Mortimer and the other barons-marchers, giving battle to Lewelin, Prince of Wales, and afterwards joining the Earl of Gloucester at Evesham in rescuing the king, who had become captive to the Earl of Leicester at the battle of Lewes. In the 52nd of Henry III his lordship performed a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, and the following year embarked in the Crusade.

     BIRTH     1207, Salisbury, Wiltshire Unitary Authority, Wiltshire, England
     DEATH     8 Feb 1250 (aged 42–43), Egypt
     Sir William II Longespee "Longsword" - William was the eldest of many sons and daughters of William Longespee, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, and Ela, 3rd Countess of Salisbury. Grandson of Henry II Curtmantle, King of England and his third wife, Isabella.
     William married Idoine de Camville, the daughter of Richard de Camville and Eustacia Basset. They had three sons and a daughter:
* Edmund Longespee
* Ela Longespee, wife of James de Audley
* William III Longespee, married Maud de Clifford
* Richard Longespee, married Alice le Rus
     William made a pilgrimage to the Holy Lands in 1240. A second trip was preceded by an excursion to Tome where he made a plea to Pope Innocent IV for support for his cause. His letter, recorded by Dodsworth, described his "slender estate" and compared his need for aid to that of Richard of Cornwall, who had received the Pope's assistance despite his wealth. The letter was successful, and William was able to raise 200 men and horses to join Louis IX in 1247.
     During the seventh crusade, the French Robert, the Count of Artois inappropriately persuaded William to attack the Arabian Marmaduke forces at the Battle of Mansurah, near Al-Mansurah in Egypt before Louis arrived, resulting in the death of 280 knights, as well as both William and Robert. The incident fueled the English's dislike for the French and William became a martyr. It is said that his mother, now Abbess Ela Longespee, had a vision of her son being received into heaven by angels just one day prior to the day of the battle.
     In 1252 the Sultan arranged for William's remains were taken to Acre by messenger for burial at the church of Saint Cross. His family established his effigy (or cenotaph) at Salisbury Cathedral.

; Per Genealogics:
     "William was born about 1207, the son of William Longespee, 3rd earl of Salisbury, and Ela FitzPatrick, countess of Salisbury. His death became of significant importance to the English psyche, as he died due to the purported mistakes and arrogance of the French at the Battle of Mansurah, near Al-Mansurah in Egypt.
     "About April 1216 William married Idonea de Camville, daughter of Richard de Camville and Eustachia Basset. They had two sons and two daughters: Ida de Longespee, who first married Ralph de Somery, and then William Beauchamp; Ela, who married James of Alditheley; William III de Longespee; and Richard Longespee. Only Richard did not have progeny.
     "William made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1240, and again in 1247. The second time, he proceeded to Rome and made a plea to Pope Innocent IV for support:
     "'Sir, you see that I am signed with the cross and am on my journey with the King of France to fight in this pilgrimage. My names is great and of note, viz., William Longespee, but my estate is slender, for the king of England, my kinsman and liege lord, hath bereft me of the title of earl and of that estate, but this he did judiciously, and not in displeasure, and by the impulse of his will; therefore I do not blame him for it. Howbeit, I am necessitated to have recourse to your holiness for favour, desiring your assistance in this distress. We see here (quoth he) that Earl Richard (of Cornwall) who, though he is not signed with the cross, yet, through the especial grace of your holiness, he hath got very much money from those who are signed, and therefore, I, who am signed and in want, do intreat the like favour.'
     "Having succeeded in gaining the favour of the pope, William raised a company of 200 English horse to join with Louis IX on the Seventh Crusade.
     "During the crusade, William commanded the English forces. He became widely known for his feats of chivalry and his subsequent martyrdom. The circumstances of his death served to fuel growing English animosity towards the French; it is reported that the French comte d'Artois lured William into attacking the Mameluks before the forces of King Louis IX arrived in support. Robert d'Artois, William and his men, along with 280 Knights Templar, were killed on 7 February 1250.
     "It is said that his mother, Abbess Ela Longespee, had a vision of the martyr being received into heaven by angels just one day prior to his death.
     "In 1252, the sultan delivered William's remains to a messenger who conveyed them to Acre (Akko) for burial at the church of St. Cross. However, his effigy is found among family members at Salisbury Cathedral, in England."⁸

     "Sir William Longespée (c. 1212 – 8 February 1250) was an English knight and crusader, the son of William Longespée and Ela, Countess of Salisbury. His death became of significant importance to the English psyche, having died at the Battle of Mansurah, near Al-Mansurah in Egypt.
Biography
Barons' Crusade
     "Longespée made two pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The first was as a participant in the second wave of crusaders of the Barons' Crusade. On 10 June 1240 he left England in the service of Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall with roughly a dozen English barons and several hundred knights. They made their way to Marseilles in mid-September, and landed at Acre on 8 October. Longespée and Richard's men saw no combat there, but this group did complete the negotiations for a truce with Ayyubid leaders made by Theobald I of Navarre just a few months prior during the first wave of the crusade. They rebuilt Ascalon castle, and notably handed over custody of it to Walter Pennenpié, the imperial agent of Frederick II in Jerusalem (instead of turning it over to the local liege men of the Kingdom of Jerusalem who strongly opposed to Frederick's rule). On 13 April 1241 they exchanged Muslim prisoners with Christian captives who had been seized during Henry of Bar's disastrous raid at Gaza five months earlier. They also moved the remains of those killed in that battle and buried them at the cemetery in Ascalon. Longespée almost certainly departed with Richard for England on 3 May 1241.
Seventh Crusade
     "Longespée again made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, this time in the Seventh Crusade of 1247. He proceeded to Rome and made a plea to Pope Innocent IV for support:
     ""Sir, you see that I am signed with the cross and am on my journey with the King of France to fight in this pilgrimage. My name is great and of note, viz., William Longespée, but my estate is slender, for the King of England, my kinsman and liege lord, hath bereft me of the title of earl and of that estate, but this he did judiciously, and not in displeasure, and by the impulse of his will; therefore I do not blame him for it. Howbeit, I am necessitated to have recourse to your holiness for favour, desiring your assistance in this distress. We see here (quoth he) that Earl Richard (of Cornwall) who, though he is not signed with the cross, yet, through the especial grace of your holiness, he hath got very much money from those who are signed, and therefore, I, who am signed and in want, do intreat the like favour."[1]
     "Having succeeded in gaining the favour of the Pope, Longespée raised a company of 200 English horse to join with King Louis on his crusade. To raise funds for his expedition, he sold a charter of liberties to the burgesses of the town of Poole in 1248 for 70 marks.[2] During the Seventh Crusade, Longespée commanded the English forces. He became widely known for his feats of chivalry and his subsequent martyrdom. The circumstances of his death served to fuel growing English animosity toward the French; it is reported that the French Count d'Artois lured Longespée into attacking the Mameluks before the forces of King Louis arrived in support. D'Artois, Longespée and his men, along with 280 Knights Templar, were killed at this time.
     "It is said that his mother, Countess Ela, had a vision of the martyr being received into heaven by angels on the day of his death. In 1252, the Sultan delivered Longespée's remains to a messenger who conveyed them to Acre for burial at the church of St Cross. However, his effigy is found amongst family members at Salisbury Cathedral, in England (though it is now identified as 14th century[citation needed]).
Marriage and issue
     "Longespée married Idoine de Camville, daughter of Richard de Camville and Eustacia Basset. They had three sons and a daughter:
-- Ela Longespée, married James Audley (1220–1272), of Heleigh Castle, Staffordshire, son of Henry De Audley and Bertred Mainwaring
-- William III Longespée, married Maud de Clifford, granddaughter of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales in 1254. William died in 1257, in the lifetime of his grandmother Ela of Salisbury, 3rd Countess of Salisbury. Margaret, the daughter of William and Maud, married Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln.[3]
-- Richard Longespée, married Alice le Rus, daughter of William le Rus of Suffolk and died shortly before 27 December 1261.[4]
-- Edmund Longespée, The Book of Lacock names “Guill Lungespee tertium, Ric´um, Elam et Edmundum” as the children of “Guill Lungespee secundus” & his wife.
