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, further down page.
(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 :
Princess Eleanor
(1162-1214) and

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
