      ; The 4th de la Pole Earl of Suffolk played an important part in national and international affairs during HENRY V’s and HENRY VI’s reigns and was promoted first Marquess then Duke of Suffolk. The new Duke of Suffolk became a scapegoat for the increasing failure of English arms in France towards the end of the Hundred Years War and was first imprisoned in the Tower, then banished and finally done to death shortly after he had taken ship from English shores to go into exile. The Duke, for all his disgrace, had never been attainted and his son John de la Pole succeeded him in the titles.¹

; per van de Pas: [quote] William de La Pole was a younger son of Michael de La Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, and his wife Katherine de Stafford. In September 1415 with his father and elder brother he was at the siege of Harfleur, where he was seriously wounded and his father was killed. Later that year his elder brother was killed at the battle of Agincourt, and he succeeded as 4th Earl.

He served in the French wars continuously for seventeen years. On 13 March 1418, he was granted the lordships of Hambye and Briquebec in Normandy. He took part in the sieges of Cherbourg and Rouen, later the same year. On 19 May 1419 he was appointed Admiral of Normandy; from July to November 1420 he was at the siege of Melun. On 21 February 1421 he was Cupbearer at the coronation of Queen Catherine, wife of Henry V. About 1425 he was created Count of Dreux in Normandy. In 1425-1426 he led a raid into Brittany as far as Rennes, concluding a three months truce with the Duke of Brittany. In 1428 he was at the siege of Orléans with the Earl of Salisbury, on whose death on 3 November 1428 he was appointed chief commander. Though the siege at first prospered, the city was relieved by Jeanne d'Arc on 8 May 1429, and Suffolk retreated to Jargeau where he was forced to surrender on 12 June.

'The nighte before that he was yolden (yielded himself up in surrender to the Franco-Scottish forces of Jeanne d'Arc on 12 June 1429) he laye in bed with a Nonne whom he toke out of holy profession and defouled, whose name was Malyne de Cay, by whom he gate a daughter, nowe married to Stonard of Oxonfordshire.' (Hist MSS Com. 3rd Rep. pp. 279-280)

He remained a prisoner for three years, and was ransomed in 1431. After his release he was appointed Lieutenant of Caen and the Cotentin, and in July 1430 he captured the castle of Aumale. On 11 November 1430 he was licensed to marry Alice Chaucer, a twice-married childless widow and granddaughter of Geoffrey Chaucer the poet. From 29 August 1432 until 11 November 1433 he had custody of the Duke of Orléans.

As Chief Ambassador to France, he acted as proxy for the betrothal on 24 May 1444 in the church of St. Martin in Tours, of Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou, and he concluded a two years truce with France on 28 May. On 14 September 1444 he was created Marquess of Suffolk, and on 23 February 1447 Earl of Pembroke.

With the deaths in 1447 of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester and Cardinal Beaufort, Suffolk became the principal power behind the throne of the weak and compliant Henry VI. On 2 June 1448 he was created Duke of Suffolk.

He became extremely unpopular because of the cession of Maine and the loss of Normandy. He was accused of retaining public money for his own use, and even the death of the king's uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, was blamed on him. He was committed to the Tower and impeached by the Commons. However the king, by the force of his submission and not 'by wey of Jugement', ordered his banishment for five years and he was released after protest by the lords.

While leaving England in accordance with the king's sentence, on 1 May 1450 his ship was intercepted by the ship 'Nicholas of the Tower' in Dover Roads, and he was murdered there on 2 May 1450, his head being cut off in an open boat. His body was thrown on the beach near Dover and was buried at Wingfield. The person or persons behind his death remain a mystery. [end quote]³

Dear Newsgroup ~

Complete Peerage, 2 (1912): 132-133 (sub Berkeley) includes a good
account of James Berkeley, Knt., Lord Berkeley (died 1463).
Regarding his parentage, the following limited information is
supplied:

"James de Berkeley .... son and heir of Sir James de Berkeley, by
Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Sir John Bluet, of Raglan, co.
Monmouthshire, which Sir James, being next brother to Thomas, the last
Lord Berkeley, d.v.f., 13 June 1405." END OF QUOTE.

Unfortunately, the multiple marriages of James Berkeley's mother,
Elizabeth Bluet, are obscured in the brief mention of her given in
Complete Peerage. As it turns out, Elizabeth Bluet had four husbands
in all:

1. Bartholomew Picot, Knt., of Wilkesworth (in Wimborne Minster),
Dorset (died shortly before 12 July 1388). They had one son,
Bartholomew, born about 1375, living 1389.

2. James Berkeley, Knt., of Little Marshfield, Gloucestershire, and,
in right of his wife, of Raglan, Monmouthshire, Daglingworth,
Gloucestershire, Stradewy [present day Llanfihangel-Ystrad],
Cardiganshire, etc., (died 13 June 1405). They had two sons, James,
Knt. [Lord Berkeley] and Maurice.

3. Thomas ap Harry, living 1409. They had no known issue.

4. William ap Thomas, Knt., of Raglan, Monmouthshire, Steward of
Abergavenny, Chief Steward of the lordships of Usk and Caerleon (died
1446). They had no known issue.

As far as I know, the third marriage of Elizabeth Bluet is only
mentioned in an administrative history in the Berkeley Castle
Muniments, which is available online in the A2A Catalogue (http://
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/). Below is a selection of that
history which indicates that Elizabeth Bluet married her third
husband, Thomas ap Harry, sometime before Easter term 1408:

"When James de Berkeley died in 1405 his son and heir, 11-year-old
James, could look forward to a substantial inheritance from his
mother, who held the two lordships of Raglan and Stradewy and the
manors of Thruxton and Daglingworth, and was the prospective heir to
Talgarth and Shifnal. He was deprived of much of his inheritance.
After James de Berkeley's death Elizabeth married Thomas ap Harry, and
at Easter 1408 she and Thomas sold Thruxton to Thomas's elder brother
John ap Harry [PRO CP 25/1/83/51, no. 20.] In 1409 [Adam] Peasenhall
[recte Peshale] gave seisin of the lordship of Talgarth to Thomas and
Elizabeth, and they settled the manor of Talgarth and 50 marks of rent
on themselves and their issue. [Below, BCM/C/2/2/10; PRO CP 25/1/83/51, no. 22.] They evidently had no issue, and after her fourth
marriage, to William ap Thomas (d. 1446), Talgarth was resettled in
1420 [She is said to have died in 1420: Radford, 'Tretower', 15]: on 1
May she and William granted Talgarth to a set of feoffees and it was
conveyed to a second set on 1 Aug., to a third set on 13 Aug. and
later to yet a fourth set, the survivors of whom in Aug. 1429 granted
the lordship to James de Berkeley and his heirs. [Below, BCM/C/
2/2/12-15 [GC 4126-8, GC 4161].] That may, however, have been part of
a deal with William ap Thomas: in July 1425 James and his wife Isabel
granted Raglan to William ap Thomas for life [Below, BCM/C/1/2/2 [GC 4145].] and in 1430 William bought Raglan outright for 1,000 marks,
the purchase apparently including Stradewy. [R. A. Griffiths, The Principality of Wales in the later Middle Ages (1972), i. 148.] The
Shropshire manor of Shifnal, did not come to young James either, as it
was regarded as an escheat, despite the specific entail made in 1352
mentioning John Bluet by name, and Henry IV granted the reversion, on
Peasenhall's death, to Thomas Neville, Lord Furnivall, for 500 marks.
[CPR 1405-8, 144; PRO C 138/41, no. 64.] James therefore retained only
Talgarth and Daglingworth. During the 1420s he was embroiled with his
cousin Elizabeth Berkeley and her husband the earl of Warwick over his
inheritance of the honour of Berkeley and may have been forced into
selling Raglan and Stradewy by a shortage of cash. In 1420 he had
offered to grant to the duke of Clarence the reversion of lands which
he expected to inherit from his mother worth 400 marks a year in
exchange for Clarence's assistance in being allowed to sue for livery
of Berkeley. [Smyth, ii. 45.]." END OF QUOTE.

Checking the National Archives catalogue (http://
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/search.asp), I found the
following record below which shows that Elizabeth Bluet's third
husband, Thomas ap Harry, was living 10 April 1409, when he and three
others were found to be owing a debt to Adam Peshale, Knt. Adam
Peshale, Knt., was the former husband of Elizabeth Bluet's cousin,
Elizabeth ferch Philip ap Rees, Knt.

; Sometime ago, I worked out the following Magna Carta Surety line for Elizabeth Bluet, wife of James Berkeley, of Raglan Castle, co. Monmouth (died 1405):

l. WILLIAM MALET, Magna Carta Surety, Baron of Curry-Mallet, Somerset, married (1st) _____.

2. MABEL MALET, married HUGH DE VIVONNE, of Chewton, Somerset.

3. WILLIAM DE FORZ, Knt., of Chewton, Somerset, married MAUD DE FERRERS (descendant of King Henry I of England).

4. JOAN DE VIVONNE, married REYNOLD FITZ PETER, Knt., of Wolverton, co. Hants.

5. KATHERINE FITZ REYNOLD, married JOHN PICHARD, of Stradewy Castle [present day Llanvihangel-Ystrad, co. Cardigan], Wales, and Bishampton and Kington, co. Worcester.

6. AMICE PICHARD, married RALPH BLUET, of Raglan, co. Monmouth, Wales, Daglingworth, co. Gloucester, and Thruxton, co. Hereford.

7. RALPH BLUET, Knt., of Raglan and Thuruxton, co. Monmouth, Wales, and Daglingworth, co. Gloucester, married ELIZABETH FERCH RHYS AP HYWEL.

8. JOHN BLUET, Knt., of Raglan and Daglingworth, etc., married KATHERINE WOGAN (or GWRGAN).

9. ELIZABETH BLUET, married (1st) BARTHOLOMEW PICOT, Knt; (2nd) JAMES BERKELEY, Knt., of Raglan Castle, co. Monmouth; (3rd) WILLIAM AP THOMAS, Knt.

Complete Peerage 2 (1912): 132 (sub Berkeley) provides no information regarding Elizabeth Bluet's ancestry. You can find partial particulars of the above line in the Genealogist, n.s. 12 (1895): 29-30 (1895) ("Bartholomew Picot and Elizabeth his wife, sued John Poyntz, Chivaler, and Margaret, his wife, for the manor of Thurleston which Roger Pychard gave to Amice, his daughter, and heirs of her body [Amice's son Ralph, first husband of Margaret, and Ralph's son, John, father of Elizabeth]").

I trust this answers your question.
