CP Addition: Eleanor de Montagu, wife of Sir John de Dinham

Hello All,

The diary of Richard Symonds is a well known source for studies
of the struggle between Cromwell and King Charles I in the 1640’s,
but also supplies some interesting non-military information. This
includes a detailed description of the windows of Exeter Cathedral,
including in some cases the family names of those whose arms are
depicted, shown as being recorded in 1644. These are most likely
the arms of individuals (in most cases, married couples) who were
benefactors of the cathedral.

Among the arms depicted, a number of married couples can be
identified. These include Sir Nicholas Carew (d. bef 20 Apr 1448)
and his wife Joan Courtenay ["COURTENAY, with a label of three
points azure." followed by "Or, three lions passant in pale sable
[CAREW]."], and Sir William de Montagu (d. 30 Jan 1343/4] and his
wife Katherine de Grandison ["GRANDISON." followed by
"MONTACUTE."] [1]. In particular, the arms described in the sixth
window (p. 85) are of interest, despite having only a partial
identification provided by the editor:

" Sixth window:
A similar coat to the last.
Argent, three fusils conjoined in fess gules, a bordure sable.
Or, three lions passant sable.
Gules, three fusils conjoined in fess ermine [DINHAM]. " [2]

The first pair of arms are probably those of a gentleman of the
Carew family ["Or, three lions passant sable."] and his wife; but
of special interest are those of the second pair of arms. The male
of the pair is clearly of the family of Dinham, of Hartland, Devon
& c. The arms of the lady in question ("Argent, three fusils
conjoined in fess gules, a bordure sable."] are those of Sir John
de Montagu, Lord Montagu (d. bef 5 Mar 1389/90), younger brother of
William, 2nd Earl of Salisbury, younger son of Sir William de
Montagu and Katherine de Grandison (see above) and husband of
Margaret de Monthermer [3].

The pairing of these arms clearly identify (without names) a
married couple, i.e. a male Dinham and a daughter of Sir John de
Montagu. This can only be Sir John de Dinham (d. 25 Dec 1428) and
his first wife, Eleanor (aka Ellen) de Montagu, the subject of
several prior SGM threads [4].

This is the first direct evidence of Sir John de Dinham’s wife
being identified as a daughter of Sir John de Montagu. In
combination with the circumstantial evidence previously provided in
the SGM posts referenced below, this identification can now be
classified as certain.

Cheers,

John *

I wonder if the windows were the wrong way round? Or perhaps that
Symonds was looking at them from the wrong side? For Symonds reports
all the apparent wives first and the husbands second? Or is he
reporting the husbands first and the wives second and the couples so
commemorated are completely different?

Dear Tim,

It appears that Symonds chose a particular direction in his
'walk-about' tour of the cathedral, and recorded the arms from that
direction. I do not believe that the marriages evidenced by the arms
are other than those known or discernible as I indicated: there would
otherwise be a host of 'mirror-image' marriages hitherto unknown.

Whether these windows (or most of them) are extant or not, I do
not know: perhaps someone else of the list has some familiarity with
Exeter (and the windows in particular) ......?

Cheers,

John

I have #31 as Agnes de Clifford, the daughter of Roger de Clifford and
Mahaut de Courtenay, Countess de Loretto. Sources: "Whose Son was
Peter de Braose?" by F.N. Craig, NEHGR 150 (1996):315-324; "Magna
Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families" by Douglas
Richardson (GPC, Baltimore, 2005). Is this not correct?

[John P. Ravilious]

Dear Martin,

I'm not familiar with the Craig article. Doug Richardson (Magna
Carta, p. 814) identifies her ('Agnes') as Agnes de Clifford, widow of
Henry Hussey/Husee, but without parentage.

There may be information in the SGM archives on the
identification you note - perhaps someone else of the list more
knowledgeable on the issue could chime in?

Cheers,

John

her identification as the mother of Sir Josce de Dinham was
shown by Douglas Richardson:
'A few years after the death of Sir Oliver de Dynham, his son, Josce's
son and heir, John de Dynham, came of age. This took place in 1316.
Shortly before John obtained livery of his father's lands, Hugh de
Courtenay (grandson of Isabel de Vere) wrote a letter to William de
Airmyn dated c. September 1316, in which he requested assistance for
his kinsman, John de Dynham, now of age, in obtaining seisin of his
lands [Reference: List of Ancient Correspondence, Lists and Indexes,
No. XV, reprinted 1968, pg. 552; cf. Index to Ancient Correspondence
of the Chancery and the Exchequer, 1 (Lists and Indexes, Supplementary
Series, No. XV) (reprinted 1969), pp. 308, 351]. The King
subsequently took John de Dynham's homage, and he had livery of his
father's lands, 18 October 1316.'[33]

The relationship between John de Dinham and Hugh de Courtenay was that
of first cousins (of the half-blood):

he evidently has a genealogical link to King Edward I of England and
his brother Edmund. Douglas Richardson wrote,
' Dear Newsgroup:

I've located two references in the medieval source, Foedera, in which
Edmund, Earl of Lancaster (younger son of King Henry III of England)
refers to Sir John de St. John as his "cousin" [see abstracts below].
I haven't made an attempt to determine the exact nature of the kinship
involved, but I presume it comes through John de St. John's maternal
grandmother, Milicent (de Gournay) de Cantelowe. Milicent de Gournay
has many descendants, among them being Milicent de Cantelowe, wife of
Eudes la Zouche, of recent topic here on the newsgroup.

If anyone has any particulars which might identity the kinship between
Earl Edmund and John de St. John, I'd appreciate it if they would post
their information here on the newsgroup. Thanks!

Wilton (cf. J. Ravilious, 'Identification of Maud, wife of John de Moels,
Lord Moels (d.1310)' , Society of Medieval Genealogy, 15 January 2002).

Grey, including provisions for Roger de Moels [identified by John
Ravilious as grandson of John de Grey].[67]

Matilda in So. Rec. Soc., Vol. 6) of Lord Grey de Ruthyn; G.E.C.

50 Piers de Montfort.[39]
Born abt 1240.
died bef 4 Mar 1286, he was 46.[9]

of Beaudesert, co. Warwick

Fought at Evesham for Simon de Montfort, 4 Aug 1265 (taken prisoner; subseq.
restored to part of father's lands).
On pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, 1271/72 and again 1274/75[9]

aft 1264 when Piers was 24, he married Matilda de la Mare.[70],[9]

51 Matilda de la Mare. Born aft 1251.[70]

identified by Douglas Richardson as the daughter of Sir Henry de la Mare
(not his son Matthew) by his wife Joan de Neville, dau. of John de Neville
of Hallingbury, Essex:
' "Pro Matilli filia Henrici de la Mare. - Rex Willelmo de Wenling',
escaetori suo citra Trentam, salutem. Monstravit nobis Matildis filia
Henrici de la Mare quod, cum dudum contulissemus eidem Henrico
custodiam terrarum Willelmi Ortye defuncti qui de nobis tenuit in
capite habendam sibi et assignatis suis cum feodis militum, wardis et
aliis ad dictam custodiam pertinentibus, et idem Henricus dudum ante
mortem suam custiodiam illam assignasset eidem Matildi habendam usque
ad legitimam etatem heredem ejusdem Willelmi ..."

Briefly, the above text states that the king had formerly granted the
lands of William de Lorty deceased to Henry de la Mare, which Henry
during his life had assigned to his daughter, Maud, to have until the
lawful age of the heir of the said William de Lorty. Since no husband
is mentioned for Maud in this record, I assume she was unmarried at
the date this document was recorded. Typically, a husband would be
named if one existed. We know from other records that Maud was
definitely a minor in 1260. If we assume that Maud was still an
unmarried minor in 1265, this might suggest that she was born in or
about 1252. Maud and her husband, Peter de Montfort, had their first
known child in or about 1271, so a marriage date of between 1265 and
1271 for Maud and Peter would surely be acceptable.

Although there may be another grant involved, it appears that Henry de
la Mare obtained the lands of William de Lorty deceased in 1256 on the
payment of a fee of 100 marks a year at the Exchequer. The grant does
not mention William de Lorty's lands, rather the wardship "falling in
land to that yearly value" late of Sabina de Lorty. That Henry de la
Mare, the royal justice, is the person who obtained the Lorty
properties is indicated by the fact that Henry was then stated to be
in the king's "service," and then when he was in Gascony, he "gave
commandment to the queen and R[ichard] earl of Cornwall, guardians of
the realm." Elsewhere, the king states that he is about to send Henry
on a message to the court of Rome [Reference: Calendar of Patent
Rolls, 1247-1258 (1908), pp. 463, 478]. The records show that during
his career, Henry de la Mare the justice made several trips abroad for
the king. '[70]

the manor of Ashtead, co. Surrey was her maritagium or inheritance[71]

identified previously in error as daughter of Matthew de la Mare:
Regarding Sir Peter's marriage, Complete Peerage states,
"He married circa 1260 Maud, daughter and heiress of Matthew,
son of Henry de la Mare, with whom he has Ashtead in Surrey."
[CP IX:127][9] ( see also R. Borthwick[71] and Kay Allen[72])

~ this results from evident confusion with the de la Mare family
of Bradwell, Essex. Chris Phillips advises of the following record,
' A pedigree in De Banco R. 926, m. 427, cited both for the marriage of
Peter and Matilda, and for her being the daughter of Matthew son of Henry. I
believe this equates to the modern reference CP 40/926, which remarkably
enough is a plea roll from Michaelmas 9 Henry VII [1493]. If I've got that
right it means that in this instance CP has, bizarrely, preferred the
evidence of a pedigree recorded more than two centuries after the event, to
two contemporary records placing Maud as the daughter of Henry.'[73]

and her service, his entire manor of Lambourn with all
appurtenances, to have and hold for herself and the heirs
of her body of Fulk and his heirs freely, quietly, etc.,
saving religious service, as is described in his charter.’
[Meisel, p. 96, citing records of King's Bench for 1249[54]
___________________________

concerning proof of her parentage, Douglas Richardson wrote:
' For evidence that Mabel Fitz Warin was heiress of her mother, Clarice
de Auberville, I find that Mabel and her husband, Sir John Tregoz, were
granted free warren of Iden and I[s]ham, Sussex 11 June 1271. '

her identification as Margaret, daughter of Piers de Braose by Douglas
Richardson:
' A while back, I discussed evidence regarding the possible identity of
Margaret, wife successively of Henry le Tyeys, Knt. (died 1322), 2nd
Lord Tyeys, and Thomas de Monthermer, Knt. (died 1340), 2nd Lord
Monthermer. Margaret's identity is of special interest to medieval
historians and genealogists, as her 2nd husband, Sir Thomas de
Monthermer, was a grandson of King Edward I of England. By Margaret
and Thomas' daughter, Margaret de Monthermer, wife of John Montagu,
Knt., the Monthermer family is ancestral to many living descendants
today.
In my earlier post (see copy below), I noted that both Margaret and
her
first husband, Sir Henry le Tyeys, had various associations with the
family of Sir Peter de Brewes (died 1312), of Tetbury, Gloucestershire,
and his wife, Agnes de Clifford. Briefly, I found that sometime prior
to 1322, Henry le Tyeys conveyed a messuage to Peter de Brewes' widow,
Agnes de Clifford. Also, I found Henry le Tyeys' widow, Margaret,
associated with Agnes (de Clifford) de Brewes in a record shortly
before Margaret's marriage to Thomas de Monthermer. I queried if
Margaret le Tyeys might not have been a daughter of Peter de Brewes and
his wife, Agnes de Clifford. Such an arrangement is certainly possible
chronologically, as Peter de Brewes and his wife, Agnes, are known to
have married in 1300. Henry and Margaret le Tyeys were evidently
married in or about 1316, at which date, Margaret's age still required
that she needed a guardian. This implies Margaret was born in or after
1300. Also, it is known that Henry le Tyeys had the wardship and
marriage of Peter de Brewes' heirs, and thus he would have been in a
position to easily have married Peter de Brewes' daughter, if one was
available.
In the intervening time since my original post, I've determined
that
the personal seal of Margaret le Tyeys has survived, it being attached
to a document dated 1323 during the period of her first widowhood. The
seal is described in detail by Roger Ellis in his interesting book,

Catalogue of Personal Seals in the Public Record Office, vol. 2 (1981),

pg. 108:

"P2161 Margaret widow of Henry le Tyas (Tyays) 1323

In a cusped quatrefoil, hung from a triple bush, two shields of arms:
(L) a chevron [TYEYS], the field hatched, and (R) crusilly (?) a lion
rampant, queue fourchy.

SIGIL[LUM] MARGA/RET ... YAYS (Lom)

Round, c. 23, red, tongue. Good impression but edge much damaged.
E2113/25.

We see above that Margaret le Tyeys' arms on her personal seal are
crusilly a lion rampant, queue fourchy. These arms are, of course, the
well known arms of the baronial Brewes family. As such, it appears
that Margaret was a Brewes as suspected, and doubtless the daughter of
Sir Peter de Brewes.'[41]

What is the exact nature of the quotes from this source?
If he was a minor in 1291 and 36 BEFore 1307 then he could *only* have been
born exactly in 1270.
Right? Wrong?

Dear Will,

That's a very good question.

I recall some extended conversation on the topic some time ago on
the list. The following is what I have in my notes on the subject:

NOTE: his death is given in CP II:465, note (f) [sub _Courtenay_] and
CP IV:370, note (h) as 3 May 1274. Footnote (h) says,

"Chron. of Ford (Monasticon, vol. v,
p. 379), where, however, the year is erroneously given as 1273. The
writ of
diem cl. ext. was issued 12 May 1274 (Fine Roll, 2 Edw. I, m. 23)."

So either (A) the Ford cartulary is off a year, or (B) it took a
rather long time from date of death (3 May 1273) until the writ was
issued (12 May 1274). I'm of the opinion that (B) is correct, for the
following two reasons:

A. Josce de Dinham (son of Isabel de Vere by her 2nd marriage to
Sir Oliver de Dinham) was - allegedly - born before 26 Feb 1274/5, as
he was stated to be aged 24 and more at his father's IPM in 1298/99.

B. Josce's son Sir John de Dinham (d. 1332) was acknowledged by
Hugh de Courtenay as his kinsman, as discovered by Douglas Richardson
[1]. This makes it rather certain that Josce was a son of Isabel de
Vere (grandmother of Hugh de Courtenay).

So, there was either a somewhat abbreviated pregnancy for Isabel
de Vere when carrying Josce de Dinham (say March 1274 - Feb or March
1274/5), or a slightly wider range for betrothal, marriage,
consummation and Josce's birth (say March - June 1273 to Feb or March
1274/5).

For the time being, I've left it at the 1273 date.

Cheers,

John

I had the birth of William, 2nd Lord Montagu who married Elizabeth de
Montfort, as abt 1265.
Since his father Simon was a minor still in 1270 and not yet married or just
then married, this cannot be correct
Checking the chronology of William, 2nd Lord, I see no reason not to move his
birth forward, so now I'm setting it as 1270/85.

Comments appreciated.

Dear Will,

For better or for worse, my genealogy program (Generations 8.0)
generates certain statements, incl. taking the 'after 21 May 1270'
birth date for Sir Richard Lovel and the 'before 1307' marriage date
and stating plainly (if too succinctly),

' bef 1307 when Sir Richard was 36, he married Muriel de Soulis.'

Sir Richard was known to have been a minor at his father's death
(his lands were taken into the King's hands), 21 May 1291, hence my
statement that he was born after 21 May 1270 [CP VIII:205, sub
_Lovel_]. The same account states he was married before 1307. He may
have been aged 36 when married; for all we know, he may have been 16.
Most likely he was aged somewhere in between ( "say 26" ?).

Cheers,

John
