So.. read on and see where this family above comes into the line of nobility below. It is quite interesting.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some English descendants of Malcolm III ‘Canmore’, King of the Scots
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many genealogists and family historians will be familiar with the Marquis of Ruvigny’s famous series on the Blood Royal of England, both Plantagenet and Tudor. In those volumes he traces mainly indirect descents, and many of the lines end with quite ordinary people rather than just the aristocracy.
He extols such genealogical research as equally as important as direct lines. Many, however, will be unaware that there are Scottish connections and here we begin that with


Malcolm Canmore
(1031-1093)
Who is famous for returning to Scotland from exile in 1056/7 and defeating Macbeth, who murdered his father, King Duncan 1st in 1040.

Malcolm’s first wife was Ingibiorg, daughter of Finn Arnesson, Jarl of Holland, and by her he had nine children including Duncan II King of Scots, born in 1060 and murdered in 1094. Duncan had married in 1090 Ethelreda, daughter of Gospatrick Earl of Northumberland.

Malcolm Canmore married secondly, in 1069, Margaret (later canonised as Saint Margaret) Atheling (1043-1093) daughter of Edward Atheling ‘The Exile’ (d.1057) Prince of England, by Princess Agatha of Hungary (d.after 1067).

Agatha was a daughter of King Stephen (969-1038 and later canonised as a Saint) of the House of Arpad, whose ancestry can be taken back to Atilla the Hun.

Malcolm and St.Margaret had six children, and here we shall treat with Princess Matilda (1079-1118) who married in 1100, Henry 1st ‘Beauclerc’ (b.1069 at Selby, Yorks. – d. 1st December 1135 in Normandy) King of England. They had William IV Duke of Normandy (1101-1120), and Princess Matilda (b.1102, d. 30th January 1164, and buried in Rouen Cathedral, France).


Matilda married firstly, in 1114, Henry V (1081-1125) of the Salian House, a Holy Roman Emperor.

She married secondly, on 17th June 1728, Geoffrey IV ‘Plantagenet’ (b.1113, d. September 1150 and buried in St.Julian’s Church, Mans, France) a son of Fulk V Count of Anjou and King of Jerusalem (d. at Acre in 1143.)

Details of Fulk’s ‘career’ and end in Palestine can be found in Sir Steven Runciman’s epic “Kingdom of Jerusalem.”
 Matilda and Geoffrey had Henry II Plantagenet, King of England (1133-1189) and he married, in 1152, the famed Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204).

Of the five children of Henry & Eleanor, I propose to deal with here the two lines of Princess Eleanor (1162-1214), and her rather notorious brother, King John (1167-1216).

(1) Eleanor married in 1177 Alphonso VII King of Castile (1155-1214) and they had six children of whom
Princess Berengaria (1181-1244) married in 1198 Alphonso IX King of Leon (1166-1230), who in turn had
Ferdinand III King of Castile and Leon (1200-1252) who married, in 1237, Joan of Aumale (d.1278).
The daughter of Ferdinand and Joan was  Princess Eleanor of Castile (b.1244, d.1290 at Harby, Nottinghamshire) who married in October 1254 at the Monastery of Los Heulgas, near Burgos, Spain, as his first wife, Edward 1st Plantagenet (b.June 1239 at Westminster, - d.7th July 1307 at Lanercost Priory, Cumberland) King of England, from whom Kings Edward II and III and their descendants all descend.
 

Edward and Isabella’s daughter, Princess Joan, was born before September 22, 1272 at Acre, Kingdom of Jerusalem, whilst  Edward 1st was on Crusade. (See below for a further descent to King Edward 1st.)
Cont...

Princess Joan of Acre (d.1307) married on 30th April 1290, firstly, and as his second wife, Sir Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Clare, Earl of Hertford and 8th Earl of Gloucester (b.2nd September 1243, Christchurch, Hants., - d.7th December 1295 Monmouth), a descendant of Dermod MacMurrough, King of Leinster, and a prominent nobleman who was a commander for the royal cause at the battle of Evesham.

Isabella, sister of Gilbert’s father, had married Robert de Bruce, Lord of Annandale (1210 – 1294) and they were in turn grandparents of King Robert 1st ‘The Bruce’.

Sir Gilbert de Clare and his wife Princesss Joan had, as well as a son Gilbert, the 9th Earl;

Eleanor, married in 1306 to Hugh le Despencer, Earl of Gloucester (executed 1326); Lady Margaret de Clare, who married (1) Piers Gavestone, Earl of Cornwall (beheaded 1312) and (2) Hugh, Lord Audley (see below); and Lady Elizabeth de Clare (c1290,- 4th November,1360, Bardfield, Essex), founder of Clare College, Cambridge.

This lady was buried at Ware Priory, in Hertfordshire, with her third husband Sir Roger, Lord d’Amory (d.1321), Baron of Armoy in Ireland, who had his first summons to parliament in 1317/8. He was engaged in the wars of Scotland, and was governor at different times of Knaresborough Castle, Gloucester Castle, and St.Briavel’s Castle.

He joined in the confederacy against the Spencers and with Thomas Earl of Lancaster marched on Burton-upon-Trent, and thence to Tutbury Castle, where he fell ill, never to recover.
"
Lord d’Amory and Elizabeth de Clare
had two daughters: Eleanor (or Agnes?) who married John de Raleigh, ancestor of the famous Sir Walter; and Elizabeth, who married John 3rd Lord Bardolf (d.1371), Knight Banneret, of Wirmegay in Suffolk. T.C.Banks (1808) states that this Lord Bardolf did homage and was summoned to parliament in 1336, but Burke states that he was first summoned in January 1338, and “participated in the glories of the martial reign of King Edward III.” 

They had: William 4th Lord Bardolf, of Wirmegay (1358-1386),
who served in the French and Irish wars, latterly under John of Gaunt, and who was summoned to parliament as early as 20th January 1376.
He married, after 1366, Agnes (d.after 1386), daughter of Sir Michael Poynings
(d.1369), 2nd Baron Poynings of Bures, a veteran of the battle of Crecy. (One of Lord Poynings great granddaughters, Eleanor Poynings (d.1482), married Henry Percy (1421 – 1461) 3rd Earl of Northumberland).

Lord Bardolf and Lady Agnes Poynings had two children that we know of: his heir Thomas 5th Lord Bardolf, of Wormegay, who died following the battle of Bramham Moor (& through whose daughter descend the Viscounts Beaumont), and
.......   Lady Cecily Bardolf,

(2) John Plantagenet, (1167- d.19th October 1216 at Newark, Notts), King of England, famous in the Robin Hood fables, and for signing the Magna Carta, brother to Princess Eleanor (1), above, as well as Richard The Lionheart.

King John had a natural daughter, Joan (of whom, below) Agatha, daughter of Robert Ferrers, Earl of Derby.
John’s second wife wife,(his first marriage to Isabella de Clare being annulled) whom he married on 24th August 1200, was Isabella (d.1246 and buried in Fontevrault Abbey, Anjou, France) daughter of Almar Taillfer, Count of Angouleme.

By her he had five children, one of whom was Henry III Plantagenet (1207- d. 16th November,1272 at Westminster) King of England, whose son was King Edward 1st of England, whom we have noted already, above.


King John’s daughter, by Agatha, daughter of Lord Ferrers, Joan, married Llewellyn ab Iowerth, Prince of North Wales who died in 1240, and was buried at Conway.

Their daughter Gwladys Ddu ap Llewellyn, married in 1230 Ralph de Moritimer,
(d. 6th August 1246) 5th Baron of Wigmore.

His son and heir was Sir Roger de Mortimer, (b.c1231, d. 26th October 1282 and buried with his ancestors in Wigmore Abbey) 6th Baron of Wigmore.

Sir Roger married in 1247, Matilda (d.1301) daughter of William de Braose who had been hanged by Llewellyn in 1230.

Sir Roger and Matilda had a family of six children that we know of, one daughter, Isabella marrying the Fitzalan ancestor of the Earls of Arundel.

We are concerned with the son and heir, Sir Edmund de Mortimer, (d.before July 1304) 7th Baron of Wigmore, who married Margaret, daughter of Sir William de Fandles.
Their son, Roger de Mortimer (b.c1286) 8th Baron Wigmore, who was created 1st Earl of March, but died at Tyburn, London, on 29th November 1330 after being hung drawn and quartered. He was buried in Wigmore Abbey a full year later. He had married before October 1306, Joan (1286 - 1356) daughter of Peter de Geneville by his wife Joan, daughter of Hugh, 12th Comte de Lusignan.

Sir Roger, Earl of March, and Joan, had five children, one of whom was killed in a tournament at Shrewsbury. We are concerned with their daughter

Katherine de Mortimer, who married Thomas de Beauchamp (d.circa November 1369) 3rd Earl of Warwick, a Knight of The Garter.
Their daughter, Phillipa de Beauchamp (d. before September 1386) married Hugh, son and heir to Ralph, 1st Earl of Stafford, Knight Banneret and K.G., (1299 – 1372) and his wife Margaret (d.1347), daughter to Hugh Lord Audley and Margaret de Clare (see above).
Hugh 2nd Earl of Stafford, K.G., died 26th September 1386 in Rhodes, whilst returning home from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. His body was returned and buried in Stone Priory, Staffordshire.


Upon reaching Hugh 2nd Earl of Stafford two distinct descents from Malcolm Canmore merge –

One through the natural daughter of King John of England and the Princely House of Wales, and another through John’s wife, Isabella Taillfer via King Henry III Plantagenet, of England.
Two other descents which have also merged in Princess Joan of Acre, are those of her parents, Eleanor Princess of Castile and Leon and Edward 1st King of England, both descendants of Henry II Plantanagent, King of England & Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Hugh 2nd Earl of Stafford (d.1386) had a daughter Catherine Stafford, who is buried in the Collegiate Church of Wingfield in Suffolk. She married before September 1385, Sir Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, who died in battle before Harfleur in France, and whose body was transported back to Wingfield Church for burial.

They had numerous children of note. One daughter, Agnes, married Sir John Bussey, knight, of Lincolnshire, from whom that family descend. One of the Earl’s sons, Sir Thomas de la Pole, knight, died in 1433 whilst being held hostage by the French for his brother, William.

Sir Thomas had married Anne, daughter of Nicholas Cheney, Esquire, and they had a daughter Catherine.

We return now to Lady Cecily Bardolf, a descendant, as shown above, of two of the children of King Henry II Plantagenet:
The two children of King Henry II which Lady Cecily descended from are :

King John, merging in their descendant Princess Joan of Acre.
Sir Miles Stapleton, knight, Lord of Ingham Manor, Norfolk (d.1466), married Katherine, daughter of Sir Thomas de la Pole (d.1433, France, see above), brother of the Duke of Suffolk, a further merging of descents from Malcolm Canmore.

He and Lady Cecily Bardolf had a second son, Brian Stapleton of Kessingland, Suffolk; and they had a daughter, Anne, married to Thomas Heath, of Hengrave, Suffolk. Their eldest son was:

They had two daughters, Elizabeth and Jane.

Elizabeth married three times:

(1) Sir John Fortesque, Chief Justice of the King’s Bench,
(2) Sir Edward Howard, Lord High Admiral, and
(3) as his second wife) Sir William Calthorpe, of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, who died in 1494 and was buried in the White Friars Church, Norwich. 

He was an important nobleman and sometime High Chamberlain of England, Ireland and Acquitaine.

By Sir William, Lady Calthorpe had five children:

Ann Calthorpe had married Sir Robert Drury (died 2nd March 1536, at Hawstead and buried in a monumental and magnificent tomb in St.Mary’s Church, Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk). Sir Robert was Lord of the Manors of Thurston and Hawstead, Suffolk, a barrister of Lincoln’s Inn, Privy Councillor and Speaker of the House of Commons.

Sir Robert was present at the funeral of the young Prince Henry in 1511 and is noted as one of the knights who bore the canopy. He was buried in a monumental and magnificent tomb in St.Mary’s Church, Bury St.Edmunds, Suffolk.
Between 1510 and 1513 he was engaged with various colleagues in the attempt to pacify the Scottish border by peaceful methods. He was a witness to the marriage of Princess Mary on 9th October 1514 and was knighted in 1516. He was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, and has a long list of other important appointments to his credit, too numerous to mention here. The site of his family’s London home is still called Drury Lane.
 

Sir Robert Drury and Anne Calthorpe had two sons:
Sir Robert, of Hedgerley, Bucks, who married Elizabeth Brudenell with issue, one of whom was Sir William Drury, Marshall of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and later Lord Justice of Ireland;
