General Notes: Wikipedia says:
Henry was thirteen when his father died, so the Barony was placed in the custody of John de Felton.[1]

In 1316 he was granted the lands of Patrick IV, Earl of March, in Northumberland, by King Edward II of England.[2] In 1322, was made governor of Pickering Castle and of the town and castle of Scarborough and was later knighted at York.[3] Henry joined with other barons to remove the Despensers, who were favorites of Edward II.

Following a disastrous war with the Scots, Henry was empowered along with William Zouche to negotiate the Treaty of Edinburgh\endash Northampton.[4] This was an unpopular treaty and peace between England and Scotland lasted only five years.

He was appointed to Edward III's Council in 1327 and was given the manor and castle of Skipton. Was granted, by Edward III, the castle and barony of Warkworth in 1328. He was at the siege of Dunbar, the siege of Berwick and the Battle of Halidon Hill and was subsequently appointed constable of Berwick-upon-Tweed.[5] In 1346, Henry commanded the right wing of the English, at the Battle of Neville's Cross

Eleanor married 2nd Baron John FITZWALTER Fitzwalter [122040]. John was born about 1315 and died on 18 Oct 1361 aged about 46.

General Notes: Wikipedia says, although it says much more,
ohn FitzWalter, 2nd Baron FitzWalter (Fitzwalter[3] or Fitz Wauter;[4] c. 1315 \endash 18 October 1361)[5][note 1] was a prominent Essex landowner best known for his criminal activities, particularly around Colchester. His family was of a noble and ancient lineage, with connections to the powerful de Clare family, who had arrived in England at the time of the Norman conquest of England. The FitzWalters held estates across Essex, as well as properties in London and Norfolk. John FitzWalter played a prominent role during the early years of King Edward III's wars in France, and at some point FitzWalter was married to Eleanor Percy, the daughter of Henry, Lord Percy.

FitzWalter built a strong affinity around him, mainly from among leading members of the county's gentry, but also including men from elsewhere, such as a Norfolk parson. At their head, FitzWalter waged an armed campaign against the neighbouring town of Colchester, almost from the moment he reached adulthood. The townsmen seem to have exacerbated the dispute by illegally entering FitzWalter's park in Lexden; in return, FitzWalter banned them from one of their own watermills and then, in 1342, he besieged the town, preventing anyone entering or leaving for some weeks, as well as ransacking much property and destroying the market. One historian has described him, in his activities, as the medieval equivalent of a 20th-century American racketeer. Other victims of his Essex gang were local jurors, royal officials, a man forced to abjure the realm, and the prior of Little Dunmow Abbey.

FitzWalter intermittently returned to France and the war, but notwithstanding his royal service\emdash he also served on the royal council and attended parliament regularly\emdash he never held office in his county. Historians explain this as being due to his repeated defiance of the king's peace and his deliberate usurpation of the royal authority. FitzWalter was too powerful, and too aggressive in defence of his rights, for the local populace to confront him in court, and it was not until 1351 that he was finally brought to justice. The King despatched a royal commission to Chelmsford to investigate a broad range of social ills, among which was FitzWalter and his gang. Although most of his force received little or no punishment, FitzWalter himself was arrested and sent to London; he was immediately imprisoned in the Marshalsea. He then languished in the Tower of London for over a year until the King agreed to pardon him. FitzWalter was released and restored to his estates, but only on the condition that he buy the lands back from the King for the immense sum of over £800. FitzWalter died in 1361\emdash still paying off his fine\emdash leaving a son, Walter, as his heir. Lady FitzWalter had predeceased him; they were both buried in Dunmow Priory.

Historians have considered FitzWalter's criminality as illustrating how the disorder that pervaded the 15th century had its origins in the 14th. Although historians have generally considered his activities to demonstrate King Edward III's failure to maintain law and order, as FitzWalter's downfall demonstrates, royal justice could be firm when it chose, if not always swift.

Isabel married 2nd Baron William de ATON Aton [122042]. William died about 1388.

General Notes: Wikipedia says:
William was the son and heir of Gilbert de Aton of Ayton.[1] Baron Aton was summoned to a Council in October 1359, and to Parliament on 8 January 1370 by writ. He was Sheriff of Yorkshire between 1368-70 and 1372-73. He participated in the French Wars of King Edward III of England. He died c. 1388, his son and heir William died in his minority, thus the Barony fell into abeyance between his daughters.

189. Countess Margaret AUDLEY de Stafford [121974] (1st Earl Hugh de AUDLEY of Gloucester & 1st Baron Audley¹³⁶, Isolde de MORTIMER¹¹², 2nd Baron Edmund de MORTIMER of Wigmore⁸³, Baroness Maud Matilda de BRAOSE Mortimer⁶⁴, William Abergavenny (Baron)⁴⁵, Reginald Abergavenny (9th Baron)²², William of Bramber (4th Lord)¹², William II of Bramber (3rd Lord)⁵, Philip of Bramber (2nd Lord)³, William of Bramber (1st Lord)², de Brix (Seigneur)¹) was born in Jan 1305 in Stafford Staffordshire England, died on 7 Sep 1347 in Tonbridge Kent England at age 42, and was buried in Tonbridge Kent England.

Margaret married 1st Earl Ralph de STAFFORD of Stafford [121973]. Ralph was born on 24 Sep 1301 and died on 31 Aug 1372 at age 70.

General Notes: Wikipedia says.
Stafford was made a Knight banneret in 1327 and was fighting the Scots shortly afterwards. He supported the plot to free Edward III of England from the control of Roger Mortimer, which earned the king's gratitude. By the summer of 1332, he was a commissioner of the peace in Staffordshire and had served abroad on royal business, accompanying Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester. He was also still fighting the Scots, commanding archers at the Battle of Dupplin Moor on 11 Aug 1332 and on three further Scottish campaigns.[5]

He was first summoned to Parliament by writ as Lord Stafford on 29 November 1336 and continued to attend until 1350.

His military career continued, accompanying King Edward to France in 1338 as an advisor and being present at the naval battle of Sluys on 24 June 1340. He also fought at the relief of Brest and the siege of Morlaix. He was captured at Vannes but was exchanged in time to negotiate a truce at Malestroit.

On 6 January 1341, he was made Steward of the Royal Household but resigned that post on 29 March 1345 having assumed the office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, an English possession in France, where he stayed for about a year. He took part in the Gascon campaign of 1345 including the battles of Bergerac and Auberoche, the siege of Aiguillon, from where he escaped prior to its lifting, a raid on Barfleur and the English victory at the Battle of Crecy, on 26 August 1346. He became one of the twenty-six founding members and the fifth knight of the Order of the Garter in 1348.[5][6]

In November 1347, his wife's father died; they were able to take possession of his estates without paying the king's homage, an indication of the relationship between them. Ralph was now a very wealthy man, from his estates and from the many prizes from the French war.[5]

Edward III created a number of new peerage titles to honour his war captains and to mark his jubilee year. Ralph was created the 1st Earl of Stafford on 5 March 1350, with an annuity of 1000 marks. He now replaced Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster as the king's lieutenant in Gascony. He committed to serve with 200 men at his own expense with the expectation of this being doubled in March 1353 at the king's expense. The campaigns provided several captives that were ransomed, but were ultimately unsuccessful, leading to the appointment of Edward, Prince of Wales to command.[5]

Even at the age of sixty, Stafford continued to command troops and act as a royal envoy, both in France and in Ireland in 1361, accompanying Lionel of Antwerp to try and restore English control.

191. Margaret de NEVILLE [121993] (Alice de AUDLEY¹³⁷, Isolde de MORTIMER¹¹², 2nd Baron Edmund de MORTIMER of Wigmore⁸³, Baroness Maud Matilda de BRAOSE Mortimer⁶⁴, William Abergavenny (Baron)⁴⁵, Reginald Abergavenny (9th Baron)²², William of Bramber (4th Lord)¹², William II of Bramber (3rd Lord)⁵, Philip of Bramber (2nd Lord)³, William of Bramber (1st Lord)², de Brix (Seigneur)¹) was born on 12 Feb 1329 and died on 12 May 1372 at age 43.

Margaret next married 1st Earl Henry PERCY of Northumberland & 4th of Alnwick [121995] in 1358. Henry was born on 10 Nov 1341 and died on 20 Feb 1408 at age 66.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of Henry,
Henry Percy was originally a follower of Edward III of England, for whom he held high offices in the administration of northern England. At a young age, he was made Warden of the Marches towards Scotland in 1362, with the authority to negotiate with the Scottish government. In February 1367, he was entrusted with the supervision of all castles and fortified places in the Scottish marches. He went on to support King Richard II, was formally created an Earl on Richard's coronation in 1377,[2] and was briefly given the title of Marshal of England. Between 1383 and 1384, he was appointed Admiral of the Northern Seas. After Richard elevated his rival Ralph Neville to the position of Earl of Westmorland in 1397, Percy and his son, also Henry and known as "Hotspur", supported the rebellion of Henry Bolingbroke, who became King as Henry IV.

On King Henry IV's coronation, Henry Percy was appointed Constable of England and granted the lordship of the Isle of Man. Percy and Hotspur were given the task of subduing the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr, but their attempts to make peace with the Welsh rebels did not meet with the king's approval.

General Notes: Wikipedia says:
John Hastings, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, KG (29 August 1347 \endash 16 April 1375), was a fourteenth-century English nobleman and soldier. He also held the title Baron Abergavenny. He was born in Sutton Valence, the son of Laurence Hastings, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Agnes Mortimer. His father died when John Hastings was only a year old, and he became a ward of King Edward III whilst remaining in his mother's care. The King arranged for John to marry Edward's daughter Margaret in 1359, which drew John into the royal family. However, Margaret died two years later. John Hastings inherited his father's earldom, subsidiary titles and estates in 1368. The same year he made a second marriage, to Anne, daughter of Walter, Lord Mauny. The following year Pembroke commenced the career in royal service that was to consume the rest of his life. The Hundred Years' War had recently reignited in France, and in 1369 Pembroke journeyed to Aquitaine.

There he took part in a sequence of raids, sieges, and counter-measures against the French, with both notable successes and failures. The latter were compounded by his apparent inability to work alongside the famed soldier Sir John Chandos, who, although head of the King's forces there, was far below Pembroke in rank. He was, however, far above Pembroke in ability, and his subsequent death led to even more problems for Pembroke in France. A couple of years later, the earl was summoned to parliament and returned to England. There, perhaps exasperated by the political failures of the king's ecclesiastical ministers, he was responsible for forcing them from power and being replaced by laymen. Pembroke was soon to return to France again, for what was to be the last time. In 1372 he set off with a small fleet, intending to raise a new army once in Aquitaine. However, his arrival had been anticipated by the Castilian navy (whose kingdom was then allied to France). Pembroke, outnumbered and outgunned, was forced to fight at the Battle of La Rochelle, where he went down to a crushing defeat. Captured and taken to Castile, he was imprisoned in harsh conditions. It took a further three years for a large ransom to be negotiated, but in 1375, he was finally released. Returning to England through France, he was taken ill near Paris and died before reaching home. He was about 28 years old; his wife survived him, as did a son, born in 1372, whom Pembroke had never seen.[note 1] Also named John, he would eventually inherit the earldom. Pembroke was buried in Hereford in spring 1375.

John married Countess Margaret PLANTAGENET of Pembroke [122012]. Margaret was born on 20 Jul 1346 in Windsor Berkshire England and died in Dec 1361 at age 15.

241 i. 3rd Earl John HASTINGS of Pembroke [121880] was born in 1372 and died in 1389 at age 17.

John married Elizabeth PLANTAGENET [121879]. Elizabeth was born in 1364 and died in 1426 at age 62.

205. Earl [2nd] James BUTLER of Ormonde [120894] (Countess Eleanor de BOHUN of Ormonde¹⁵², Earl [4th] Humphrey VII de BOHUN of Hereford¹¹⁵, 3rd Earl Humphrey VI de BOHUN of Hereford⁸⁷, Eleanor de BRAOSE⁶⁵, William Abergavenny (Baron)⁴⁵, Reginald Abergavenny (9th Baron)²², William of Bramber (4th Lord)¹², William II of Bramber (3rd Lord)⁵, Philip of Bramber (2nd Lord)³, William of Bramber (1st Lord)², de Brix (Seigneur)¹) was born on 4 Oct 1331 in Kilkenny Castle Co. Kilkenny Ireland, died on 18 Oct 1382 in Knocktopher Castle Co. Kilkenny Ireland at age 51, and was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral Co. Kilkenny Ireland.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of James, that:
The son of James Butler, 1st Earl of Ormond and Lady Eleanor de Bohun, James was born at Kilkenny Castle and given in ward on 1 September 1344 to Maurice FitzGerald, 1st Earl of Desmond for the fine of 2,306 marks; and afterward to Sir John Darcy who married him to his daughter Elizabeth. He was usually called The Noble Earl, being a great-grandson, through his mother, of King Edward I of England.[1] He died at Knocktopher Castle in Kilkenny, Leinster, Ireland.
In 1362, he slew 600 of Mac Murrough's followers at Teigstaffen (County Kilkenny). On 22 April 1364, was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland to Lionel of Antwerp, Duke of Clarence: Clarence, from his first arrival in Ireland, placed great trust in him, and for a few years it seems that as Deputy he was almost all-powerful. In the 1360s he clashed with Maurice FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Kildare. In 1364 the Irish House of Commons sent a delegation to England, headed by Kildare, to complain of misgovernment, and to ask for the removal of "corrupt" officials, some of whom had links to Ormond. A number of these officials were removed, but Ormond's position was not seriously threatened.

He was Lord Justice by 24 July 1376, with a salary of £500 a year, in which office he was continued by King Richard II of England. On 2 April 1372, he was made constable of Dublin Castle, with the fee of £18 5s. a year.[2] He was summoned to the Parliaments held by Richard II.

He died on 18 October 1382 in his castle of Knocktopher (near which he had, in 1356, founded a Friary for Carmelite friars). He was buried in St. Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny.
