      ; TUDOR TREVOR - Editor's Note: Much genealogical discussion has centred around Tudor Trevor's ancestry. The earliest known pedigree naming him was written about 350 years after his period, but the evidence is nevertheless good, as many of the Welsh royal pedigrees which are contained in their earliest written form in an early 12th century Ms. in the Harleian collection at the British Museum are quite possibly copies of much earlier documents. According to some sources shown below Tudor Trevor was the s of Ynyr, who was descended from Gwynfyw-Frych, Arglwydd of Drewen (subsequently called Blancheville and now Whittington, Salop), who was s of Cadell Dynllue, King of Powys and his wife St Gwawrddydd: Harleian Ms. 4181 and 1794; Cardiff Ms. 25 (Historical Mss. Commission's Report on Mss. in Welsh Language Vol 2 Part 1); Stowe 669; Jesus Coll Ms. 20. These various sources differ in the generations and the spellings of names, so that they would not appear to be copied from one original. Cf. also Trans/trans of the Cymmrodorion Soc Vol XXI, The Dynasty of Cunedag and the Harleian Genealogies, and the article on Welsh Pedigrees by Maj Francis Jones in the introductory pages of the 1952 edn, Arglwydd of Erging and Ewyas, The Maelors, Chirk, Whittington, Dudleston, Oswestry, and Nantheudwy, and d 948, having had issue.³

     GAV25 EDV-27 GKJ-27.

; THOMAS DE SEGRAVE is described in Domesday Book 1080, as part owner of Segrave, Leics, and an annual fine of fourteen shillings was imposed on his lands by WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, which line, according to the Rolls in Chancery, was bought out in 1232 by his descendant, Sir Stephen de Segrave, the Ch Justiciary of England. The pedigree is confirmed by the Red Book of the Lordship of Segrave, compiled 1204, and now in the British Museum, also by the Chartulary of the Honour of Segrave, now in the Bodleian Library.¹

      ; Thomas Fitzgilbert, attained and outlawed for treason, his lands being seized by his elder bro and when his attainder was removed 1203, went to law for their recovery (as part of the evidence of this trial, the Red Book of the Lordship of Segrave was compiled).¹

     Sir Gerard de Lisle of Kingston Lisle, Berkshire married Alice de Armenters, daughter of Sir Henry de Armenters of Stowe and Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, and Burley, Rutland and Alice (?), in 1271
;
per Richardson: [quote] Complete Peerage, 8 (1932): 48 (sub Lisle) gives a good account of Sir Gerard de Lisle, of Kingston Lisle (in Sparsholt), Berkshire, who died in 1287/88. Regarding his marriage, the following information is supplied: "He married in or before 1271, Alice de Armenters, daughter of Henry de
Armenters. His widow was living in 1290." [end quote]^1,2
Sir Gerard de Lisle of Kingston Lisle, Berkshire died between 1287 and 1288.²

     Sir Henry de Armenters of Stowe and Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, and Burley, Rutland married Alice (?)¹

Sir Henry de Armenters of Stowe and Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, and Burley, Rutland died before 25 March 1256.¹
      ; Research into Alice de Armenters's background reveals that she was the
daughter and heiress of Henry de Armenters, of Stowe and Kislingbury,
Northamptonshire, and Burley, Rutland (died shortly before 25 March
1256), by his wife, Alice (living 1266) [References: Charles Roberts, ed., Excerpta e Rotulis Finium, 2 (1836): 225, 444, 538]. Henry de
Armenters was in turn the 2nd son of Sir Geoffrey de Armenters (living
1235-6), of Stowe and Kislingbury, Northamptonshire, and Burley,
Rutland, by his wife, Juliane, daughter of Sir Gilbert de Gant, of
Folkingham, Lincolnshire (died 1242). As such, Alice de Armenters
possesses the distinguished Carolingian ancestry which is found in the
Gant family tree.

In spite of Complete Peerage's identification of Alice's father as
Henry de Armenters, Alice's corredct parentage has been somewhat
obscured by an inaccurate account of the Armenters family found in
George Baker's History and Antiquities of the County of Northampton, 1
(1822-1830): 441-444. For reasons which are inexplicable, Baker argued
Alice de Armenters was the half-sister of Henry de Armenters, rather
than his daughter. This is in spite of the fact that Baker quotes a
document dated 1292-3 which specifically refers to Alice as the "cousin
and heir" (not sister) to Henry de Armenters' older brother, John de
Armenters, who died without issue. Baker cites as his source for this
document, Placit. 21 Edward I, r.43, which citation I assume is is the
same thing as Abbrev. Plac. (Rec. Comm.), 232.

Baker does correctly show that Alice de Armenters married (2nd) before
3 December 1304 Sir Nicholas de Segrave, who died in 1321 [see Baker, ibid; Calendar of Inquisition Post Mortem 4 (1913): 154-157]. This
individual can be readily identified as Sir Nicholas de Segrave, Lord
Segrave, of Stowe, Northamptonshire, an account of which individual can
be found in Complete Peerage 11 (1949): 610-612 (sub Segrave).
Regarding Lord Segrave's marriage, the following limited information is
provided in Complete Peerage:

"He married Alice, who apparently predeceased him."

Sir Nicholas de Segrave was lord of Stowe, Northamptonshire in right of
his wife's inheritance in 1304 and 1316, as well as other Armenters
family properties [References: Calendar of Inquisition Post Mortem 4 (1913): 154-157; Feudal Aids, 4 (1906): 20, 30]. Regarding Alice de
Armenters' death date, I find that Alice, then wife of Sir Nicholas de
Segrave, was living in 1312-3, when her manor of Burley, Rutland was
settled on Nicholas and Alice and their male issue, with reversion to
Alice's younger son by her first marriage, John de Lisle [Reference: Feet of Fines Rutland Hil. 6 Edward II, no. 8]. Baker states in a
chart on pg. 443 that Alice de Armenters was dead 12 Edward II. (1318),
but he gives no source for this information. Alice was certainly dead
on 2 Id. Sept. [12 September] 1318, when her husband, Sir Nicholas de
Segrave, presented to the church of Kislingbury, Northamptonshire "rat.
terre quond. Alic. ux. ejus." [Reference: John Bridges, History and Antiquities of Northamptonshire, 1 (1791): 532].

Regarding Alice de Armenters' issue, Baker states that she had three
sons by her first marriage to Sir Gerard de Lisle, namely Gerard,
Warin, Knt., and John, Knt. She was also apparently the mother of
Nicholas de Segrave's daughter, Maud de Segrave, born about 1296 (aged
25 in 1321), who married Edmund de Bohun.

For interest's sake, the following is a list of the 17th Century
colonial New World immigrants who descend from Alice (de Armenters) (de
Lisle) de Segrave through intermarriages of the Lisle, Berkeley, and
Stonor families:

William Bladen, Elizabeth Bosvile, George, Giles & Robert Brent, St.
Leger Codd, Edward Digges, Muriel Gurdon, Elizabeth & John Harleston,
Warham Horsmanden, Anne Humphrey, Anne Mauleverer, Philip & Thomas
Nelson, Herbert Pelham, Thomas Rudyard, Katherine Saint Leger, Mary
Johanna Somerset, John West.

Further details on the Armenters, Gant, Lisle, and Segrave families
will be found in my forthcoming book, Baronial Ancestry.
