Contact: [email protected] THE DE LACY CONSTABLES OF CHESTER AND EARLS OF LINCOLN: THE TRANSFORMATION OF AN HONOUR (1190-1311) by Andrew David Connell Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 i ii Abstract This thesis examines the lives, careers and fortunes of the de Lacy constables of Chester and earls of Lincoln, Roger, John, Edmund and Henry de Lacy, between 1190 and 1311, and sheds light on a family who have been relatively neglected within existing scholarship. This thesis charts the family’s rise from local baronial magnates to comital status with two earldoms, and their position as one of the richest tenants-in-chief of the crown. This study establishes how the family, as a whole, was able to take advantage of the opportunities arising over four generations, one hundred and twenty one years and the reigns of five kings, to develop and maintain its lordship. The thesis explores the mechanisms they used and were able to take advantage of, during such a vibrant period of history, which included tumultuous civil wars and dynamic political change. It examines in detail the political careers of each of the de Lacy constables in turn and explores their relationships with royal government and the affect of Magna Carta and Plantagenet rule on this family. It then explores the development of the de Lacy family’s honorial estates through each generation and the strategies they employed to expand their dominions. It also discusses the family’s patronage and the evolution of their various associations with religious communities and how this compared to contemporary trends. The examination of the de Lacy affinities, in particular, is the first to explore their composition and development across four generations of this family, identifying the men who were in their service and the transition from a baronial to comital following. This study of the de Lacy constables therefore sheds new light on the development of baronial families and the transformation of their honours during this period of history. i ii Acknowledgments This thesis would not have been possible without a three year studentship from the Graduate School at Canterbury Christ Church University. I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Louise Wilkinson. Her extensive knowledge and familiarity with this period in history has proved invaluable and her guidance, advice and suggestions have been greatly appreciated. In particular, her support, patience, understanding and constant encouragement have been of extreme value during the time it has taken to reach this point. I would also like to thank the other members of my supervisory panel, Dr Lesley Hardy and Professor Thomas Hennessey. Their perspectives, advice and support during my work have been exceptionally helpful. I have been privileged to have met and worked with numerous other exceptional medievalists in the wider academic community during my studies and my thanks, in particular, go to my colleagues Rodulph Billaud, Harriet Kersey and Abby Armstrong. Your friendship support and encouragement have helped me (and my sanity) so much and I am forever grateful. My thanks also go to the staff at Canterbury Christ Church University, in particular the Graduate School, Library and School of Humanities who have assisted me on countless occasions. The staff at the National Archives who were so helpful during my numerous research trips to examine original manuscripts. Also the staff at the archives of Canterbury Cathedral, Beverley, Bradford, Chester, Denbigh, Lancashire, Leeds University, Lincoln, Nottingham, Wakefield and West Yorkshire, who all assisted in the research of material for this thesis. I would also particularly like to thank Professor David Crouch and the Comital Acta Project at Hull University. Professor Crouch was immensely kind with his time and office space so that I could examine the de Lacy charters in his collection. This was truly invaluable and I am extremely appreciative. I would like to thank my family. First my father - I could not have done this without you. Finally, to my wife, and my son (who we welcomed into the world during this journey), your love, encouragement and unwavering support has meant so much to me over the past few years and in particular through the completion of this thesis. I love you, you are my everything and this is for you. iii iv Abbreviations AM Annales Monastici, ed. H.R.

St Mary’s soon established a dependent priory at Wetheral, which lies some five miles east of Carlisle.

  • CHRONICLES of THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, with NOTICES of the SUCCESSIVE LORDS of THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &C
    379 CHRONICLES OF THELWALL, CO. CHESTER, WITH NOTICES OF THE SUCCESSIVE LORDS OF THAT MANOR, THEIR FAMILY DESCENT, &c. &c. THELWALL is a township situate within the parochial chapelry of Daresbury, and parish of Runcorn, in the East Division of the hundred of Bucklew, and deanery of Frodsham, co. Chester. It is unquestionably a place of very great antiquity, and so meagre an account has been hitherto published a as to its early history and possessors, that an attempt more fully to elucidate the subject, and to concentrate, and thereby preserve, the scat• tered fragments which yet remain as to it, from the general wreck of time, cannot fail, it is anticipated, to prove both accept• able and interesting. The earliest mention that is to be met with of Thelwall appears in the Saxon Chronicle, from which we find that, in the year 923, King Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, made it a garrison for his soldiers, and surrounded it with fortifications. By most writers it is stated to have been founded by this monarch, but the opinion prevails with some others that it was in existence long before, and was only restored by him. Towards the latter part of the year 923, King Edward is recorded to have visited this place himself, and for some time made it his residence, whilst other portion of his troops were engaged in repairing and manning Manchester. These warlike preparations, it may be observed, were rendered necessary in consequence of Ethelwald, the son of King Ethelbert, disputing the title of Edward.

  • Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton
    A Transformed Life? Geoffrey of Dutton, the Fifth Crusade, and the Holy Cross of Norton. Despite the volume of scholarship dedicated to crusade motivation, comparative little has been said on how the crusades affected the lives of individuals, and how this played out once the returned home. Taking as a case study a Cheshire landholder, Geoffrey of Dutton, this article looks at the reasons for his crusade participation and his actions once he returned to Cheshire, arguing that he was changed by his experiences to the extent that he was concerned with remembering and conveying his own status as a returned pilgrim. It also looks at the impact of a relic of the True Cross he brought back and gave to the Augustinian priory of Norton. Keywords: crusade; relic; Norton Priory; burial; seal An extensive body of scholarship has considered what motivated people to go on crusade in the middle ages (piety, obligation and service, family connections and ties of lordship, punishment and escape), as well as what impact that had across Europe in terms of recruitment, funding and organisation. Far less has been said about the more personal impact of crusading for individuals who took part. This is largely due to the nature of the sources from which, according to Housley, ‘not much can be inferred…about the response of the majority of crusaders to what they’d gone through in the East.’1 With the exception of accounts of the post-crusading careers of the most important individuals, notably Louis IX of France, very little was written about how crusaders responded to taking part in an overseas campaign which mixed the height of spiritual endeavour with extreme violence.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • William Marshal and Isabel De Clare
    The Marshals and Ireland © Catherine A. Armstrong June 2007 1 The Marshals and Ireland In the fall of 1947 H. G. Leaske discovered a slab in the graveyard of the church of St. Mary‟s in New Ross during the repair works to the church (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65). The slab was some eight feet by one foot and bore an incomplete inscription, Isabel Laegn. Since the only Isabel of Leinster was Isabel de Clare, daughter of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada, it must be the cenotaph of Isabel wife of William Marshal, earl of Pembroke. Leaske posits the theory that this may not be simply a commemorative marker; he suggests that this cenotaph from St Mary‟s might contain the heart of Isabel de Clare. Though Isabel died in England March 9, 1220, she may have asked that her heart be brought home to Ireland and be buried in the church which was founded by Isabel and her husband (“A Cenotaph of Strongbow‟s Daughter at New Ross” 65, 67, 67 f 7). It would seem right and proper that Isabel de Clare brought her life full circle and that the heart of this beautiful lady should rest in the land of her birth. More than eight hundred years ago Isabel de Clare was born in the lordship of Leinster in Ireland. By a quirk of fate or destiny‟s hand, she would become a pivotal figure in the medieval history of Ireland, England, Wales, and Normandy. Isabel was born between the years of 1171 and 1175; she was the daughter and sole heir of Richard Strongbow de Clare and Eve MacMurchada.
