     Hugh de Mortimer Bishop of Coustances married Gunnora (Gunnor, Gonnor) de Crepon Duchess of Normandy, daughter of Herbastus (?).¹
Hugh de Mortimer Bishop of Coustances was born in 930.¹
Hugh de Mortimer Bishop of Coustances died in 960.¹
     ; NB: There is uncertainty about the parents of Roger I de Mortemer.
I. Med Lands: A discussion of the issues is found in Med Lands:
     "According to the Complete Peerage, Roger [I] de Mortemer came from Mortemer-sur-Eaulne, near Neufchâtel-en-Brai (upstream of Dieppe on the river Béthune, in the eastern part of the Pays de Caux) in Normandy, which it says must be distinguished from "Mortemer-en-Lions, the site of the abbey of the same name"[213]. Le Prévost is more specific, stating that he was from "Mortemer-en-Brai, sur la rivière d´Eaulne" and adding "on voit encore l´emplacement du château" (writing in 1840)[214]. Roger [I] is recorded by Orderic Vitalis as having led "omnes Caletenses" (from the Pays de Caux) at the battle of Mortemer against the French in 1054 but that his castle was confiscated after he had helped the escape of one of the French prisoners[215]. Although Roger was later reconciled with the king and recovered some of his lands, the castle of Mortemer remained with the Warenne family. The descendants of Roger [I] continued to bear the name "Mortimer", derived from the castle, despite its early confiscation.
     "There has been considerable debate about the ancestry of Roger [I] de Mortemer. The first question relates to the possible relationship between Roger [I] de Mortemer and William de Warenne 1st Earl of Surrey. This issue is discussed in the Complete Peerage which concludes that "its exact nature has not at present been discovered"[216]. The fact of the family relationship is indicated by Orderic Vitalis who, in a passage recounting an alleged death-bed speech of William I King of England, records that the castle of Mortemer, confiscated from Roger [I] de Mortemer after the battle of Mortemer in 1054, was granted to "Guillelmo de Guarenna consanguineo eius"[217]. In addition to this, Robert de Torigny, in his description of abbeys in Normandy, records that "Rogerius de Mortuo Mari, filius Walterii de Sancto Martino, frater vero primi Willermi de Warenna" founded "monasterium Sancti Victoris"[218]. A third source, Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...una earum” married “patri primi Willelmi de Warenna” by whom she had “idem Willelmus postea comes Surreiæ et Rogerus de Mortuo-mari frater ipsius” [although an undated charter quoted in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY, which records a sale of property by “Hugo de Flamenvilla”, indicates that Raoul´s second wife was the mother of his son Guillaume][219]. The second source is clearly incorrect as regards the parentage of William de Warenne, whose father is confirmed in other primary sources as Raoul de Warenne (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY, WARENNE). It is also clear that Roger [I] de Mortemer (already holder of a castle in 1054) must have been considerably older than William de Warenne, and so could hardly have been his brother. Stapleton proposed in 1846 that Roger [I] de Mortimer and Raoul de Warenne, father of William de Warenne 1st Earl of Surrey, were brothers, arguing that, because they are both mentioned in charters of Sainte-Trinité de Rouen in connection with the same property (see below), they had probably inherited it jointly[220].
     "Stapleton also proposed that Roger [I] de Mortemer was the same person as Roger, son of "Bishop Hugues". The question of the identity of Bishop Hugues is discussed in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY. Roger, son of the bishop, is named in three charters, two of which name his father as Bishop Hugues. Firstly, "…ejusdem Rodulfi de Guarethna., Beatricis uxori eius, Rogerii filii episcopi, Huberti filii Turoldi…" witnessed an undated charter which records an agreement between Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and "Rodulfo Warethnæ" to buy land "in Blovilla…apud villam…Merdeplud…et terram prati Sottevillæ"[221]. Secondly, "Rogerius, Hugonis episcopi filius" sold serfs "sub suo dominio in Blovilla et Einardi mansionali et Novillula et in Scurra vel Merdepluet villa…et suæ domus propriæ in urbe Rotomagi" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "sua uxore Odain…et eorum filiis Willelmo et Hugone", by undated charter[222]. Thirdly, "Rodulfus de Warenna eiusque conjux…Emma cum filiis suis Rodulfo…atque Willelmo" sold "totius Osulfi Villæ eiusdem Caletensis pagi", sold by "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi", to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen by charter dated 1074[223]. The Complete Peerage dismisses Stapleton´s hypothesis[224]. It argues firstly that the wife of Roger [I] de Mortemer is named Hawise in primary sources, compared with Oda as the wife of Roger, son of the bishop, and also that the bishop´s son is recorded with children named Guillaume and Hugues, whereas Roger [I]´s heir was named Ralph, although it would not be beyond the stretch of imagination to combine the two families, with Roger having married twice. The third difficulty proposed by the Complete Peerage is harder to dismiss. This is that the 1074 charter quoted above implies that Roger, father of Guillaume, was already deceased at the time of the sale of their property to Raoul de Warenne, whereas sources demonstrate that Roger [I] de Mortemer was still alive in 1078. A further difficulty with Stapleton´s hypothesis is that, if it was correct, the same person would have been referred to in the sources sometimes as "filius episcopi" and sometimes as "de Mortuomari". Such dual appellations are unusual. Different primary sources at the time usually refer to the same individual by the same name and epithet, presumably reflecting the style by which he was normally known among his contemporaries. If a person was known by two names, the style "X qui et Y" was usually adopted in the sources. One possible explanation for this apparent exception to normal practice is that, after the confiscation of his castle, "Rogerius de Mortuomari" became known as "Rogerius filius episcopi", although this does not appear consistent with the survival of the name Mortimer among Roger´s descendants long after the castle was lost."

Many of these lines connect to the Northumbrian Earls of Bamburgh which is where my interest lies at present. I am not aware of the connections you mentioned.

You had mentioned in your original posting on Beatrice de Hauley that you were interested in the manor of Ingelton and where it came into this family. Ingelton was passed to the FitzHugh line through the marriage of Randolph Fitz Henry and Alice de Stavely. It is mentioned in the IPM of John Fitz Hugh in 1305:

Ingelton was given to John as the younger son from his father Hugh Fitz
Henry.

There are also a few additions to be made to the Ryhill line.

Thomas Ryhill [son of Michael Ryhill and Alice de Flamville] married Isabella
de Horton as her second husband. Her first husband was Thomas de Castre who
died s.p. before 1261 and upon Thomas de Ryhill's death ca. March 15, 1266/7
she married Guischard de Charron. Isabella had two sons by Thomas de Ryhill,
Michael the son and heir who was the father of Isabel de Ryhill [Dec. 6, 1277- Ca. July 12, 1309] who was his sole heir, and a younger son Thomas who was given
the remainder of Horton, co. Northumberland in tail male if Isabella had no
issue with Guischard de Charron. This is a very lengthy subject as Thoroton
and many others believe that Guischard de Charron the younger is the son of
Isabella de Horton and H. H. E. Craster and later historians think the
documentation substantiates that there was no issue of Isabella de Horton and Guischard
de Charron the elder and the land was alienated to the son of the first wife
[Mary Sutton] by deed from Isabella and his father. Isabella de Horton was the
only daughter and eventual heir of the Northumberland lands of her father
Walran de Horton [Waleran de Viscount alias Walran Fitz Robert] by his wife Agnes
de Vaux. Roger de Flamville was also married to Alice daughter of John Fitz
Simon who originally held land in Whittingham as he was one of the tenants of
Roger Bertram in 1165. This is how Whittingham came into this line originally.


I am looking for information of one Roger son of Ralph who is mentioned in

; Dear Jay,

Many of these lines connect to the Northumbrian Earls of Bamburgh which is where my interest lies at present. I am not aware of the connections you mentioned.

You had mentioned in your original posting on Beatrice de Hauley that you were interested in the manor of Ingelton and where it came into this family. Ingelton was passed to the FitzHugh line through the marriage of Randolph Fitz Henry and Alice de Stavely. It is mentioned in the IPM of John Fitz Hugh in 1305:

Ingelton was given to John as the younger son from his father Hugh Fitz
Henry.

There are also a few additions to be made to the Ryhill line.

Thomas Ryhill [son of Michael Ryhill and Alice de Flamville] married Isabella
de Horton as her second husband. Her first husband was Thomas de Castre who
died s.p. before 1261 and upon Thomas de Ryhill's death ca. March 15, 1266/7
she married Guischard de Charron. Isabella had two sons by Thomas de Ryhill,
Michael the son and heir who was the father of Isabel de Ryhill [Dec. 6, 1277- Ca. July 12, 1309] who was his sole heir, and a younger son Thomas who was given
the remainder of Horton, co. Northumberland in tail male if Isabella had no
issue with Guischard de Charron. This is a very lengthy subject as Thoroton
and many others believe that Guischard de Charron the younger is the son of
Isabella de Horton and H. H. E. Craster and later historians think the
documentation substantiates that there was no issue of Isabella de Horton and Guischard
de Charron the elder and the land was alienated to the son of the first wife
[Mary Sutton] by deed from Isabella and his father. Isabella de Horton was the
only daughter and eventual heir of the Northumberland lands of her father
Walran de Horton [Waleran de Viscount alias Walran Fitz Robert] by his wife Agnes
de Vaux. Roger de Flamville was also married to Alice daughter of John Fitz
Simon who originally held land in Whittingham as he was one of the tenants of
Roger Bertram in 1165. This is how Whittingham came into this line originally.


I am looking for information of one Roger son of Ralph who is mentioned in
the IPM of Michael de Ryhill [Feb. 2, 1259/60-ca. March 20, 1291/2]:

     William Stapleton was born in 1319 at Stapleton, Yorkshire, England.¹
     EDV-20.

     Joan de Stapleton married an unknown person.¹
She was born in 1317 at Stapleton, Richmond, England.¹ She married Sir John de Plaiz Knt., 5th Lord Plaiz, of Iford, Sussex, son of Sir Richard de Plaiz Knt., 4th Lord Plaiz. of Iford, Sussex and Margaret de Saint Philibert, before 4 October 1363
; his 2nd wife; date of settlement.^2,4,3
Joan de Stapleton died on 2 September 1385.^1,3

     Sir Miles Stapleton of Bedale was born in 1290 at Stapleton, Yorkshire, England.¹ He married Joan de Ingham, daughter of Sir Oliver de Ingham Knt., 1st Lord Ingham and Elizabeth La Zouche, between 1350 and 1351.^1,4,2,5

Sir Miles Stapleton of Bedale died on 4 October 1364.¹
      ; Handsome and extravagant, excelling in all knightly accomplishments, and a personal friend of the Prince of Wales, Sir Miles died too soon to develop those domestic qualities which distinguished his cousin of Haddlesey and his younger brother Sir Brian. Nevertheless he had already commenced carrying out a project which he had long had in mind, of instituting a College of Trinitarians or Mathurins at Ingham, and on the 26th June, 1360, he obtained the King's licence to set it aside, or suspend, the Statute of Mortmain, which prohibited all such pious purposes. The Order of Mathurins had been in-stituted in France at the end of the 12th century, for the Redemption of Captives taken by theTurks; and a house was first established in England, at Mottenden in Kent. Ingham is said to have become their principal house in later years. The author of a little story published at the restoration of Ingham Church in 1875, finds a motive for his work of charity in an incident in the life of Sir Oliver Ingham. He tells how Sir Oliver went to Spain about 1340, and offered his services to King Alphonso of Castile. After a severe battle with the Saracens in the Sierra Morena, he was missing, and wandered in the mountains for several days. He was on the point of being taken by a party of the enemy, 'as he lay in peaceful slumber on a rock,' when he was found by some of his own men. For this providential delivery,he vowed to give half his lands to found a House for the Redemption ofCaptives, and Sir Miles was therefore only carrying out the wishes of his father-in-law. We are not aware that this interesting little story rests on any evidence whatever. The 'peaceful slumber' on the rock, may have been suggested by the monument at Ingham and the large round pebbles on which the figure rests. But whatever the Founder's design, some traditions of the Crusades evidently hang about the church. The patron Saint of the Stapeltons was honoured at Ingham as well as North Morton, for in 1782, a quantity of panel-painting of the 14th century was discovered, representing the common legends of the life of St. Nicholas. Although it no longer exists, drawings have fortunately been preserved by Mr. Dawson Turner, which are now in the British Museum.
