     "Otto II, known as 'the Lame', was born around 1215, son of Gerhard, Graaf van Gelre and Margareta of Brabant. His first marriage to Margareta von Kleef resulted in two daughters, neither of whom had progeny. After her death he married Philippa de Dammartin, and they had four children, of whom two daughters and his heir Reinald I would have progeny.
     "Otto was a German imperial prince in the lands of the Lower Rhine. He was often involved in the many feuds of that area and in Westphalia, among them with the counts of Ravensberg and Tecklenburg as well as with the bishops of Münster, Osnabrück and Paderborn. He pursued many feuds with the counts of Kleef and the bishops of Utrecht over influence in the lands of the Lower Rhine. He was forced to give up his claims to Salland.
     "As guardian of the duke of Brabant and the count of Holland (from 1261/62), Otto achieved a very powerful position in Lower Lorraine. He won sovereignty over many dominions including Groenlo, Bredevoort and Lichtenvoorde. He was at times patron of Cologne.
     "Otto founded and fortified several towns, and bestowed privileges upon them for the purpose of encouraging trade. Towns he founded included Zutphen, Gelre (1229), Goch (around 1230), Roermond (1231), Harderwijk (1231), Grave (1232), Emmerich (1233), Arnhem (1233), Doetinchem (1236 and Wageningen (1263). The region of Gelre became a land of cities, with a thriving economy and effective communication and transport. River taxes, particularly on the Rhine, became important sources of income.
     "Otto became so important that he was urged to be a candidate for the dignity of emperor. He preferred to support the claims of his cousin Willem II of Holland. In return for the loan of a considerable sum of money Willem gave him the city of Nijmegen in pledge.

     BIRTH     1275, France
     DEATH     23 Jun 1324 (aged 48–49), France
     Aymer, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, was the son of William de Valence, son of Hugh X, Count of La Marche and Isabella of Angoulême. Aymer was the third son of his family, so little is known of his birth and early years.
     In 1297 he accompanied Edward I on a campaign to Flanders, and seems to have been knighted by this time. With his French connections he was in the following years a valuable diplomat in France for the English King. He also served as military commander in Scotland. He won an important victory over Robert the Bruce in 1306 at the Battle of Methven, only to be defeated by Bruce at Loudoun Hill the next year.
     Aymer married twice; his first marriage, before 1295, was to Beatrice, daughter of Raoul de Clermont, Lord of Nesle in Picardy and Constable of France. Beatrice died in 1320, and in 1321 he married Marie de St Pol, daughter of Gui de Châtillon, Count of St Pol and Butler of France. He never had any legitimate children, but he had an illegitimate son, Henry de Valence, whose mother is unknown. Pembroke's most lasting legacy is probably through his second wife, who in 1347 founded Pembroke College, Cambridge. The family arms are still represented on the dexter side of the college arms. Aymer de Valence was buried in Westminster Abbey, where his tomb can still be seen as a splendid example of late gothic architecture, elaborating on the design of the nearby tomb of Edmund Crouchback.

     BIRTH     1303, England
     DEATH     1377 (aged 73–74), England
     Marie de St Pol (c.1303–1377) was the wife of Aymer de Valence, the Earl of Pembroke, and is best known as the foundress of Pembroke College, Cambridge.
     The daughter of Guy III of Châtillon, legend has it that she was maiden, wife, and widow all in the space of a single day when her husband Aymer de Valence was killed in front of her in a friendly jousting match, on their wedding day. However, this is apocryphal as documentation indicates he died of apoplexy after three years of marriage. Marie was only seventeen when she married, whilst her husband was already fifty.
     In 1347, Marie obtained licence from Edward III to establish an educational establishment in the still-young university town of Cambridge. The resulting college was known as the Hall of Marie Valence, and is known today as Pembroke College, home to over 700 students and dons. The first statutes of the college gave preference to students born in France who had already studied elsewhere in England.
     Marie de St Pol died in 1377 and was buried in Denny Abbey, to the north of Cambridge on the road to Ely. The precise location of her grave is now lost.

; Per Wikipedia (Fr.):
     "Robert Malet (actif entre 1066 et 1105), seigneur de Graville (près du Havre) et d'Eye (Suffolk), fut un baron anglo-normand, reconnu pour avoir été le premier à avoir officié comme maître chambellan d'Angleterre1.
Biographie
     "Il est le fils aîné et héritier de Guillaume Malet et Esilia, fille de Gilbert Crispin. Déjà adulte en 1066, il succède à son père, probablement en 1071, en Normandie et en Angleterre1. Les possessions familiales normandes sont dans le Pays de Caux et le Caennais, avec le château principal à Graville1. Les possessions anglaises, acquises par son père après la conquête normande de l'Angleterre, sont réparties dans huit comtés, et 80 % d'entre elles sont dans le Suffolk où il tient l'important honneur d'Eye1.
     "En 1075, Robert Malet est dans l'armée de Guillaume (I) de Warenne et Richard de Bienfaite qui réprime le mouvement de révolte bretonne en Est-Anglie durant la révolte des comtes. Après que les rebelles retranchés dans le château de Norwich se sont rendus, Guillaume le Conquérant lui en donne le commandement. Il sert aussi comme shérif dans le Suffolk en 10801.
     "Après l'accession au trône de Guillaume le Roux, le fils puîné du Conquérant, Robert Malet tombe en défaveur, et l'honneur d'Eye lui est confisqué1. Il assez probable que la raison soit d'avoir soutenu Robert Courteheuse, le duc de Normandie et frère aîné du roi, notamment durant la rébellion de 10881. Son honneur, confisqué entre 1087 et 1094, et donné à Roger le Poitevin, un fils de Roger de Montgommery, le comte de Shrewsbury1.
     "Durant le reste du règne de Guillaume le Roux, Robert Malet n'apparaît plus dans aucune source écrite. Il est probable qu'il soit retourné en Normandie auprès de Robert Courteheuse1. Après le départ de ce dernier à la première croisade en 1096, il se met au service d'Henri, le plus jeune frère du duc et du roi1. Henri est couronné roi d'Angleterre en 1100, et Robert Malet, qui est présent à la cérémonie de couronnement, reçoit l'honneur d'Eye, confisqué à Roger le Poitevin, peu après1.
     "Il reste proche d'Henri Ier, et est son chambellan jusqu'en 1105. Plus tard, Robert sera reconnu comme ayant été le premier à avoir officié comme maître chambellan d'Angleterre1. Il est le témoin de nombreuses chartes royales jusqu'en février 1105, après quoi il n'existe plus de trace de lui1.
     "Entre 1100 et 1105, il achève la fondation du prieuré d'Eye qui avait commencé durant le règne du Conquérant, mais avait été suspendue par la confiscation de ses biens en Angleterre1. Sa descendance et ses éventuelles épouses sont très incertaines1. Une charte de donation à l'abbaye Saint-Taurin d'Évreux mentionne un Robert Malet et sa femme Emeline, mais une charte en mauvais état mentionne que la femme du chambellan Robert Malet s'appelle Maud. À sa mort, ses terres passent à Guillaume (II) Malet, qui est généralement vu par les historiens comme étant son frère, mais il pourrait s'agir de son fils1. Toutes les terres anglaises des Malet lui sont confisquées, probablement en 1110, par Henri Ier. En 1113, le roi les donne à son neveu Étienne de Blois, qui lui succédera sur le trône d'Angleterre en 1135.

     "ROBERT [I] Malet of Eye (-after 13 Feb 1105). The Testa de Nevill includes a writ of King John dated 1212 which records that King William I granted "honorem de Eya" to "Roberto Malet" but that King Henry I acquired the honour and held it for seven years before granting it to "comiti Stephano nepoti suo"[805]. “Robertus Malet” founded Eye priory, for the souls of “patris mei Willelmi Malet et matris meæ Hesiliæ” who became a nun there, by undated charter dated to the reign of William I King of England[806]. “…Roberti Malet…” witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England granted land at Covenham to the church of St Calais[807]. Domesday Book records land held by “Robert Malet” in Sutton in Woking Hundred, Surrey; Bradmore and Ruddington in Nottinghamshire; numerous properties in Yorkshire, numerous properties in Norfolk, and in Suffolk[808]. “Beatrix soror Roberti Malet” donated property to Eye priory, for the souls of “fratrum meorum Roberti Maleth et Gilberti Malet”, by undated charter[809]. "…Robertus Maleth…Willielmus Malet…" subscribed a charter dated Sep 1101 under which Bishop Herbert donated property to Norwich priory[810]. "…Robert Malet camerarius…" witnessed the charter dated 13 Feb 1105 under which Henry I King of England confirmed donations to Cluny and Thetford made by Roger Bigod[811]. According to a charter of Henri Duke of Normandy (later Henry II King of England) issued in favour of her son Ranulf Earl of Chester dated 1153, Ctss Lucy was the niece of Robert Malet of Eye and of Alan of Lincoln, as well as kinswoman of Thorold "the Sheriff"[812]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Robertus Malet" used to hold ten knights’ fees from the abbot of Glastonbury in Somerset "tempore Regis Henrici" (presumably indicating King Henry I) and that "Hubertus de Sancta Susanna" now held two of these and "Willelmus Malech" now held twelve[813]. "Hubertus de Sancta Susanna" has not been identified with certainty but the likelihood is that he was the son of Hubert de Beaumont, son of Hubert Vicomte de Maine and Ermengarde de Nevers, who is recorded as holding lands in England during the reign of King Henry I (see MAINE). The fact that Hubert held two of the knights’ fees previously held by Robert Malet may indicate a family relationship, possibly that Hubert was the husband or son (the latter being more likely from a chronological point of view) of Robert’s daughter. Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bec, including donations by "Roberti Malet", by charter dated to [1181/89][814].
     "m MATILDA, daughter of ---. Brown records that Robert’s wife Matilda is named in a charter under which Robert granted lands in Bulmer and Little Belstead to Hugh of Goldingham, although pointing out the document is a later copy in France and appears spurious in its surviving form although the substance of the charter appears genuine enough[815]."

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Robert Malet (c. 1050 – by 1130) was a Norman-English baron and a close advisor of Henry I.
Early life
     "Malet was the son of William Malet, and inherited his father's great honour of Eye in 1071. This made him one of the dozen or so greatest landholders in England. According to the Domesday book he held 221 manors in Suffolk, 32 in Yorkshire, eight in Lincolnshire, three in Essex, two in Nottinghamshire, and one in Hampshire.[1] He also inherited the family property in Normandy.
Public life
     "From 1070 to 1080, Malet was High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and helped suppress the rebellion of Ralph Wader. Afterwards, he appeared frequently at King William I's court. All changed with the accession of William II. By 1094 Malet's English lands had been taken away from him. The reasons are unknown, and no more is known of Malet's activities during William II's reign. Most likely he was in Normandy, and it may be that his falling out with William II was due to his preference for Duke Robert of Normandy in the rivalry between the two brothers.
     "Malet reappeared in the public record three days after the death of William II in 1100, as a witness to Henry I's coronation charter. He must have been with Henry at the time of William's death, or rushed from Normandy when word came. In any case, Malet soon regained his office as Sheriff of Suffolk, and his honour of Eye.
     "It was thought that Malet had some quarrel with the king, and again lost his lands, on the basis of some statements by Orderic Vitalis, but most historians now think Orderic confused Malet with his successor, William Malet. However it appears that Robert Malet remained in the king's confidence and held his lands until his death.
     "Some sources claim that a Robert Malet died at the battle of Tinchebrai (28 September 1106), though there is no specific evidence linking this to Robert Malet of Suffolk.
     "Until some time before 1130, Malet was appointed Lord Great Chamberlain (or Master Chamberlain), the first person to hold this position. Little is known about the role attached at the time to this title or what it entailed. It is possible, however, that the position succeeded that of n Lord High Steward. While the rest of the financial responsibilities of the parent job were separated from that job and were given under the newly-formed title of Lord High Treasurer in 1126. So perhaps Malet became Lord Great Chamberlain in 1126 when the job of Lord High Treasurer seems to have been formed.

C. P. Lewis

     "Malet, Robert (fl. 1066–1105), landowner, was the eldest son of the Anglo-Norman landowner William Malet (d. 1071?) and Esilia, daughter of Gilbert Crispin. He was an adult by 1066 and succeeded his father on the latter's death, probably in 1071. The Malet lands in Normandy lay in the Caennais and the Pays de Caux, where their chief castle was at Graville. In England by 1086 Robert Malet had land in eight counties from Surrey to Yorkshire and was among the dozen richest lay landowners. Four-fifths of his wealth lay in east Suffolk, where his father had made Eye the centre of the estate.
     "In 1075 Malet took a leading part in suppressing the Bretons who rebelled against William I in East Anglia, and occupied Norwich Castle for the king in the aftermath of the revolt. He was sheriff of Suffolk in 1080. He may have supported Robert Curthose's attempt to win the English crown in 1088 and was certainly out of favour with William II, who took the honour of Eye away from him, no later than 1094, and gave it to Roger the Poitevin. Malet disappears entirely from the historical record during William Rufus's reign: probably he went to Normandy and supported Curthose until the latter went on crusade in 1096. Eventually he attached himself to the king's brother Henry and was with him when he was crowned in England in 1100. Shortly afterwards Malet recovered the honour of Eye. He became Henry I's chamberlain and occupied a central place at court for the next five years, witnessing many royal charters. In later years he was regarded as the first occupant of the new office of master chamberlain. His latest dated appearance on a witness list was in February 1105. Probably between 1100 and 1105 he completed the foundation of a priory at Eye, a project which he had begun before 1087 but which had been interrupted during Roger the Poitevin's ownership of the estate.
     "Malet's marriages and offspring are uncertain. A much altered copy of a charter names his wife as Maud, but a Robert Malet and his wife, Emmeline, gave land to the abbey of St Taurin at Évreux for the support of their son Hugh, a monk there. Malet may have had other sons called William and Robert, though the William Malet who succeeded him in Normandy has generally been regarded as his brother. Eye and the rest of his English lands passed on his death to Henry I, who in 1113 gave them to Stephen of Blois (later King Stephen).

; Per Med Lands: "GUILLAUME d'Arques (-[1090]). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis”[48]. "Guillelmus et Gislebertus filii Godefredi Archarum vicecomitis" donated land in Montvilla to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen dated 1059[49]. Vicomte d'Arques. Lord of Folkestone[50]. A charter dated 1080 relates that "Gozelinus vicecomes de Archis…cum coniuge sua et filiis" founded Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and donated property, and that "Willelmus de Archis heres defuncti…avi sui Gozelini" confirmed the donation[51]. [Orderic Vitalis records “Edgarus Adelinus et Robertus Belesmensis atque Guillelmus de Archis monachus Molismensis” as the advisers of Robert [III] Duke of Normandy, dated to [1089][52]. It is possible that the third named person was Guillaume Vicomte d’Arques but no other record has been found that he became a monk at Molesme in Burgundy before he died.] m BEATRIX Malet, daughter of GUILLAUME [I] Malet & his wife Esilia [Crespin]. “Beatrix soror Roberti Malet” donated property to Eye priory, for the souls of “fratrum meorum Roberti Maleth et Gilberti Malet”, by undated charter[53]. Brown indicates that Beatrix donated Redlingfield to Eye by undated charter which confirms her as husband of "William vicomte of Arques"[54]. “Willielmus de Abrincis miles dominus de Folkestan” confirmed donations to Folkestone priory, including the donations made by "Beatrix post mortem domini sui Willielmi de Archis" of "terram dotis suæ de Newenton" by undated charter [55]."
