5TH BARON OF ELMLEY CASTLE
WILL 7 JAN 1268/69
1ST EARL WARWICK
William de Beauchamp inherited not only the feudal barony of Elmley fromhis father, but had previously derived from his mother the Earldom ofWarwick (originally possessed by the Newburghs), and the barony ofHanslape (which had belonged to the Mauduits). This eminent nobleman wasa distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish wars of King Edward I."In the 23rd year of which reign (1294-5), being in Wales with the king,"as Dugdale relates, "he performed a notable exploit; namely hearing thata great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain betwixt two woodsand, to secure themselves, had fastened their pikes to the group, slopingtheir pikes towards their assailants, he marched thither with a choicecompany of cross-bowmen and archers, and in the night time encompassingthem about, but betwixt every two horsemen on cross-bowman, whichcross-bowman killing many of them that held the picks, the horsemencharged in suddenly and made very great slaughter. This was done nearMontgomery." His lordship m. Maud, widow of Girard de Furnival, and oneof the four daughters and co-heiresses of Richard FitzJohn, son of JohnFitz-Geffrey, chief Justice of Ireland, by whom he had surviving issue,Guy, his successor; Isabel, m. to Peter Chaworth; Maud, m. to -- Rithco;Margaret, m. to John Sudley; Anne and Amy, nuns at Shouldham, co.Norfolk, a monastery founded by his lordship's maternal greatgrandfather. William de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Warwick of that family, d.in 1298, having previous to his mother's death used the style and titleof Earl of Warwick, with what legality appears very doubtful, and was sby his eldest son, Guy de Beauchamp. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant andExtinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 30, Beauchamp,Earls of Warwick]
William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick; born c1240; Hereditary Sheriffof Worcs and Pantler at Coronations, Keeper of Forest of Dean 1270,Captain of Cheshire and Lancs 1276; led an English army which defeatedthe Welsh at Maes Moydog, Montgomeryshire, 5 March 1294/5; commander inthe English army, which defeated the Scots at Dunbar 1296, Constable ofRockingham Castle and Steward of forests between Oxford and Stamford1297-98; married c1270 Maud (died April 1301), daughter of Sir John fitzGeoffrey and widow of Sir Gerard de Furnivall(e), and died 5 or 9 June1298.

------------------------
EARLDOM OF OXFORD (V) 1263
ROBERT (DE VERE), EARL OF OXFORD, Hereditary Master Chamberlain ofEngland, son and heir, born circa 1240, did homage 5 March 1263/4. Hejoined Simon de Montfort and was knighted by him before the battle ofLewes, 14 May 1264. In June he attested Simon's ordinance for the peaceof the realm, and in December 1264 he was summoned to Simon's Parliament.On 16 February 1264/5 he was forbidden, with other magnates, to tourneyat Dunstable or elsewhere. In 1265 he assisted the younger Simon deMontfort in plundering Winchester, and was captured when they weresurprised at Kenilworth on 1 August. On 27 October 1265 the King grantedthe comitatus and honor of Oxford to Roger de Mortimer, but Robertrecovered them under the Dictum de Kenilworth, and in March 1267/8 hemade an agreement with Roger for payment for the return of his lands andfor the marriage of his eldest son to Roger's daughter Margaret. He didnot recover the Chamberlainship, but there is some reason to believe thathe was allowed to execute the office at the Coronation of Edward I in1274. On 12 November 1276 he was present at the Council concerningLlewelyn; and he was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1277, 1282,and 1283, and to the Parliaments held in 1283, 1295 and 1296. In 1290Robert attended the marriage of the Princess Margaret to John of Brabant,with a retinue of 12 knights, sumptuously arrayed. In 1292 he was atBerwick, taking part in the proceedings to decide the question of theScottish succession. The Earl was a benefactor to the KnightsHospitallers, Hatfield Priory, and Thremhall Priory.
He married Alice, daughter and heir of Gilbert DE SANFORD, hereditaryChamberlain to the Queen for her Coronation, by Lorette, daughter of(------). Robert died before 7 September 1296, and was buried at EarlsColne, his heart being buried in the Grey Friars, Ipswich. Alice, whosurvived him, died before 9 (probably 7) September 1312, at Canfield, andwas buried at Earls Colne.

John was the leader of the English forces which lost to William Wallacein the battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 as depicted in the film"Braveheart".
John de Warren (Plantagenet), Earl of Warren and Surrey, was but fiveyears of age at the time of his father's decease, and was placed in wardwith Peter de Savoy, the Queen's brother. When he attained majority, heattached himself zealously to Henry III in his conflicts with the baronsand maintained the cause of the king with his sword at the battle ofLewes. His lordship was a person of violent and imperious temper and wasoften betrayed into acts of great intemperance, as in the instance ofassaulting Sir Alan Zouch and his son, Roger, in Westminster Hall, whenhe almost killed the one and wounded the other. And again, when Edward Iissued the first writs of Quo Warranto, his lordship being questioned asto the title of his possessions, exhibited to the justices an old swordand unsheathing it said, "Behold my lords, here is my warranty; myancestors coming into this land with William the Bastard, did obtaintheir lands by the sword, and I am resolved with the sword to defend themagainst whomsoever shall endeavour to dispossess me, but our progenitorswere sharers and assistants therein." The earl was constituted, by KingEdward, general of all his forces on the north of Trent for the betterrestraining the insolences of the Scots; whereupon he marched intoScotland and so terrified the inhabitants that they immediately sued forpeace and gave hostages for their future good conduct.

Edward II, byname EDWARD OF CAERNARVON (b. April 25, 1284, Caernarvon,Caernarvonshire, Wales--d. September 1327, Berkeley, Gloucestershire,Eng.), king of England from 1307 to 1327. Although he was a man oflimited capability, he waged a long, hopeless campaign to assert hisauthority over powerful barons.
The fourth son of King Edward I, he ascended the throne upon his father'sdeath (July 7, 1307) and immediately gave the highest offices to EdwardI's most prominent opponents. He earned the hatred of the barons bygranting the earldom of Cornwall to his frivolous favourite (and possiblelover), Piers Gaveston. In 1311 a 21-member baronial committee drafted adocument -- known as the Ordinances -- demanding the banishment ofGaveston and the restriction of the King's powers over finances andappointments. Edward pretended to give in to these demands; he sentGaveston out of the country but soon allowed him to return. Inretaliation the barons seized Gaveston and executed him (June 1312).
Edward had to wait 11 years to annul the Ordinances and avenge Gaveston.Meanwhile, the Scottish king Robert I the Bruce was threatening to throwoff English overlordship. Edward led an army into Scotland in 1314 butwas decisively defeated by Bruce at Bannockburn on June 24. With onestroke, Scotland's independence was virtually secured, and Edward was putat the mercy of a group of barons headed by his cousin Thomas ofLancaster, who by 1315 had made himself the real master of England.Nevertheless, Lancaster proved to be incompetent; by 1318 a group ofmoderate barons led by Aymer de Valence, earl of Pembroke, had assumedthe role of arbitrators between Lancaster and Edward. At this junctureEdward found two new favourites--Hugh le Despenser and his son andnamesake. When the King supported the younger Despenser's territorialambitions in Wales, Lancaster banished both Despensers. Edward then tookup arms in their behalf. His opponents fell out among themselves, and hedefeated and captured Lancaster at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, in March1322. Soon afterward, he had Lancaster executed.
At last free of baronial control, Edward revoked the Ordinances. Hisreliance on the Despensers, however, soon aroused the resentment of hisqueen, Isabella. While on a diplomatic mission to Paris in 1325, shebecame the mistress of Roger Mortimer, an exiled baronial opponent ofEdward. In September 1326 the couple invaded England, executed theDespensers, and deposed Edward on 21 Jan 1327 in favour of his son, whowas crowned (January 1327) King Edward III. Edward II was imprisoned andin September 1327 died, probably by violence. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD'97]
Reigned 1307-1327, deposed and murdered. Invested as the first Prince ofWales in 1301. His reign was troubled by extravagances, his militaristdisasters in Scotland, notably at Bannockburn(1314), and the unpopularityof his favourite peers, Piers Gaveston, who died in 1312, and Hugh leDespencer, 1262-1326. He was deposed on 21 Jan 1327, and murdered by ared-hot poker in his bowels.

His opponents fell out among themselves, and hedefeated and captured Lancaster at Boroughbridge, Yorkshire, in March1322. Soon afterward, he had Lancaster executed.
At last free of baronial control, Edward revoked the Ordinances. Hisreliance on the Despensers, however, soon aroused the resentment of hisqueen, Isabella. While on a diplomatic mission to Paris in 1325, shebecame the mistress of Roger Mortimer, an exiled baronial opponent ofEdward. In September 1326 the couple invaded England, executed theDespensers, and deposed Edward on 21 Jan 1327 in favour of his son, whowas crowned (January 1327) King Edward III. Edward II was imprisoned andin September 1327 died, probably by violence. [Encyclopædia Britannica CD'97]
