Hi all,

>From all of the published pedigrees of the de Tregoz family, that I can
find, John de Tregoz married Mabel FitzWarin and died in 1300, leaving
two daughters as heirs: Clarice, married to Sir Roger la Warre and
Sibyl, married to Sir William de Grandison.

Therefore, I'm at a bit of a loss in how to explain the following
entries in the Calendar of Patent Rolls:

7 Nov 1288 : Licence, for a fine of 10l., for Mabel late the wife of
John Tregoz, tenant in chief, to marry whomsoever she will of the
king's allegiance. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 2, p 302]

28 Feb 1301: Grant to John la Warre, king's yeoman, of a moiety of the
forfeiture due to the king by Joan, late the wife of John Tregoz,
tenant in chief, for marrying without licence. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 3, p
577]

8 Jun 1307: Pardon to Laurence de Hamelden, for taking to wife Joan,
late the wife of John Tregoz, tenant in chief. [CPR, Edward 1, Vol 4, p
527]

Either John de Tregoz divorced Mabel and re-married Joan, or the John
de Tregoz married to Joan and who died in 1300 was actually the son of
the first John de Tregoz who had died before November 1288.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to which of these possible
interpretations may be correct.

Regards,

John Watson

The two John's were not the same person. I think that much should be read.

Whether one was the son of the other is not clear from the above however.

Hi Will,

On further looking around on Google books, I found the IPM for
Wiltshire for the John Tregoz who died in 1300 and who seems pretty
conclusively to be the father of Clarice and Sybil.

Wiltshire Inquisition Post Mortem of John de Tregoz, made before the
escheator, 25th October, 28 Edward I [1300], of the lands and tenements
which were of John Tregoz in co. Wilts on the day that he died. States,
"John la Warre, son and heir of Clarice la Warre, first-born daughter
of the said John Tregoz, who is dead, and Sibill de Graunteson, second
daughter of the said John Tregoz, are the next heirs of the said John
Tregoz : the said John la Warre is aged 24 years, and the said Sibill
30 years and more." Chan. Inq.p.m., 28 Edward I, No. 43. [Abstracts of
Wiltshire Inquisitiones Post Mortem, 1242 - 1326, British Record
Society, London 1908, pp 254-5]

So I'm still puzzled about that "Mabel late the wife of John Tregoz" in
1288. Must be a different Mabel and John - however unlikely that
seems.

Regards,

John

I don't understand the problem. John Tregoz married about 1288 Mabel
Fitzwarin. He has two daugters say 1289-1291. That leaves 9-10 years
for his first wife to die and he to remarry a woman named Joan and them
himself die in 1300. So, why jump to divorce? And why would WIll
Johnson need to add his two cents that the two men were different?

Unless you have a document that says Mabel was alive past her husband,
I'm not sure I see a research problem.

Except you seem to fail to notice that Mabel is being given license to MARRY
whomever she wants after her marriage to John now dead obviously.

Obviously you don't understand. In 1288, Mabel was fined for not
getting a license although she was already married. The language reads
as Mabel, late[ly] the wife of John Tregoz. Meaning that she "of late"
got married without a license. Nowhere does it say that John Tregoz is
the late John Tregoz. His IPM is in 1300. So, again, what's the
problem?

Please. She had already married him. That why she was being fined.

The IPM for both John and Mabel appear in Vol. III of the Calendar of
Inquisitions for Edward I (1912).

#412, p. 274

Mabel, late the wife of John Tregoz.
Writ, 24 May, 25 Edw. I
Inq. Wednesday after St. Barnabus, 25 Edw. I
for Bedfordshire. Weston (the manor) was held by Maud, daughter of an
dheir of William de Averenchis the elder. Hamo le Creveker married her
and they gave the manor to William their son and heir in free marriage
with the said Mabel. This William died without heir of his body so
that the said Mabel held the manor for life according to the form of
the gift aforesaid.

The claimant is John de Lenham, son of Iseult the second of the
daughters of the said Hamo and Maud aged 30 and more. The last line
notes that the manor should revert to him since the death of said
Mabel.

Endorsed: A day is given to John Tregoz and Richard de Weylaund and
other parceners.

So thus Mabel was dead by 24 May 1397 and John was still alive.

His IPM is #603, pp. 453-6, never mentions a wife named Joan. The writ
is dated 6 Sept. 28 Edward I. All the writs take place in the fall of
that year into the early part of 29 Edw. I (post December).

In the Calendar of Fine Rolls, Vol. 1 1272-1307, p. 386:

24 May 1297 Portsmouth: Order to the escheator on this side Trent to
take into the king's hand the lands late of Mabel late the wife of John
Tregoz, deceased, tenant in chief.

p. 253 is the fine in question, note the commas:

7 November 1288: Grant, for a fine of 10l., to Mabel, late the wife of
John Tregoz, tenant in chief, that she may marry whomsoever she will
int he king's fealty.

p. 432: 6 September 1300: Order to the escheator beyond Trent to take
into the king's hand the lands late of John Tregoz, deceased, tenant in
chief.

p. 435: 26 November 1300: Order to the same to make partition of the
lands late of John Tregoz, tenant in chief, into two equal parts and to
deliver to John la Ware, kinsman and one of the heirs of John Tregoz,
to wit, son of Clarice his first-born daughter, and to William de
Grandison and Sibyl his wife, younger daughter and the other heir of
John Tregoz, their pourparties of the said lands, except the body of
the castle of Ewyas Harold which the king has assigned to John as
senior heir for the capital messuage of the said inheritance, so that
he assign to William and Sibyl 60s. of land agreed upon between him and
them before the king's council at York, and saving to Joan, late the
wife of John Tregoz, her dower; the said John la Ware and William
having done homage.

p. 449: 9 Feb. 1302: Order to the escheator beyond Trent to restore the
goods of Laurence de Hamelden and Joan his wife, late the wife of John
Tregoz, tenant in chief, which he took into the king's hand on account
of their trespass in intermarrying without license, the king having
pardoned Joan for a fine made by Laurence.

Get it now?

The only fly in this ointment is that the IPM for Mabel is headed
"Mabel, late the wife of John Tregoz." meaning that he was already
dead.

No. She was dead. If he was dead the sentence would read: Mabel, the
wife of the late John Tregoz or Mabel, the wife of John Tregoz, late .

Ok - so here's a different hypothesis, which fits most of of the known
facts:

(a) Mabel, widow of William Crevequer, marries John Tregoz who is the
younger brother of Robert Tregoz. He dies in or before 1288. There is
no IPM because he holds nothing in chief. They have no children. She
dies in 1297.

(b) John Tregoz, the son of Robert Tregoz, marries someone, perhaps
Joan, and has two daughters, Clarice born about 1255 and Sibyl, born
about 1270. He dies in 1300. His widow Joan later marries Laurence de
Hamelden.

John

Your analysis may be true and has already appeared in print. I truly
did not understand your initial post and you didn't cite any sources
or analysis, so it was not easy to understand.

The Tregoz family of Ewyas falls outside of the two major royal
compilations by Doug Richardson since they were not Plantagenet nor
Magna Carta descendants. They do appear in Ancestral Roots (AR), 8th
edition, 2004, Line 255A, which was researched by, coincidentally by
Doug Richardson. He gives the line as:

1. Robert II de Tregoz m. Juliane de Cantelou
2. Sir John de Tregoz m. Mabel Fitz Warin, widow of William le
Crevequer
3. Clarice de Tregoz m. Sir Roger la Warre, 1st Baron La Warre.
3. Sibyl de Tregoz m. William de Grandison

This we can call the "standard" line. He exclusively cites to the
Complete Peerage (CP) IV:139-143 for generations 2 and 3. For
generation 1 he also cites CP XII (2):20-22. He also notes Sussex
Archaelogical Collections 93 (1955):34-56 for generation 1 only.

Another source, although not much cited, is Carl Boyer's Medieval
English Ancestors of Certain Americans (2001), pp. 245-6. Boyer gives
the standard line as well and cites to the same sources as Richardson.

However, the article in question, Tregoz by L.F. Salzman, F.S.A., in
Sussex Arch. Collection 93:34-56 gives the line as:

1. Robert II de Tregoz m. Gillian (i.e. Juliane) de Cantelupe
2. John de Tregoz m. Joan, dau. of Adam de Cokefeld m. 2nd Laurence de
Hameldene
3. John de Tregoz m. Mabel widow of William de Crevequer, brother to
Clarice and Sibyl, noted above.

This is your theory. Sadly, neither Richardson, nor Boyer give
analysis on why they choose their theory over yours. CP XII (2):17-22
also gives the standard line. CP also cites to Salzman's article.
So we have disparate theories with no analysis. Perhaps Doug can give
us some guidance on his thinking.

Using just chronological basics, CP says that Joan who married John
Tregoz, married 2nd. Laurence de Hamelden who was living in 1307.
Afterwards she married before 1313-4, William de Beauchamp and
predeceased him (he d. 7 Apr 1354). She must have been somewhat young
to marry John Tregoz in 1298 and get married twice more.

John La Warre married shortly before November 1294. If 18, he was born
c. 1276. So his parents were married c. 1275 and Clarice was born say
1258. AR line 255A notes that William le Crevequer died in 1263 (which
totally cramps the timeline). Perhaps he was known to be dead by then.
In any case. If Clarice is born in 1258, then John and Joan were
married in 1257 and she is born in 1240. So we must believe that she
married secondly at 61 in 1301 and again c. 1312 at 72, possibly living
to 90-100. A stretch. If one could prove that Joan had children with
either Laurence or William, then she couldn't possibly also be the
mother of Clarice and Sibyl.

So wisdom anyone can impart would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Martin, Will, John, et al.,

I believe you will find the 'standard' descent is the correct one.
This is based on two pieces of evidence: the tenure of Lambourn, co.
Berks., and the inheritance by Mabel Fitz Warin of of Iden and Isham,
Sussex.

1. For the first, an extended look at the transmission of Lambourn
over 5 generations, esp. from Fulk Fitz Warin to his daughter
Mabel and from Mabel via her daughter Sybil de Tregoz to the
Grandison family, see the pedigree below.

2. As to the second, Doug Richardson wrote a while back (in part):

' 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. ' [1]

Doug noted that Iden and Isham were subsequently inherited
by Sibyl de Tregoz.

Cheers,

John *

But John, can you explain the 1288 fine to Mabel that was posted?

The simple answer is that there were two Johns and two Mabels.

John Tregoz of Ewyas Harold married Mabel, daughter of Fulk fitz Warin
and Clarice de Auberville (as identified by Paget). He and Mabel
settled 87 librates of land in Isham and Iden, Sussex, (Mabel's
inheritance) and 23 librates of land in Chipping Lambourn (Mabel's
maritagium given by her father in 1249 on her first marriage to William
de Crevequer d.s.p. 1263 [CRR XIX no.326]) on William de Grandison and
Sybil in 1284/1285 [Salzmann. F of F Sussex vol. II, no.978]. Mabel
died in 1297 when an inquisition was held into the dower she held of
William de Crevequer's heirs [CIPM, 3 no. 412].

>From John's IPM in 1300 [CIPM 3, no.603] we know that his heirs were
his grandson John de la Warre, son of Clarice and Roger de la Warre,
aged 24, and Sibyl, John's second daughter, aged 30, wife of William de
Grandison. John left a widow, Joan, daughter of Adam de Cokefield
(heir of her brother Robert d.1297 when she was recorded as 23 years of
age [CIPM 3, no.384] who married secondly Lawrence de Hameldene by 9th
February 1302 [CFR, 1, p.449] and thirdly William de Beauchamp [Farrer.
Honors and Knight's Fees, v. 3, p.367]. (The latter was presumably
uncle of Roger de Beauchamp of Bletsoe who married Sybil de Pateshall,
granddaughter of Sybil Tregoz)

There was another contemporary and kinsman of Sir John Tregoz. He died
around 1288 as noted, and was possibly the same as the John Tregoz,
nicknamed 'pauper' holding a knight's fee in Ewyas Harold of Sir John
Tregoz. His wife Mabel was formerly wife of John de la Riviere d. 1277
(whose mother was incidentally Eleanor, da. of Fulk fitz Warin). Mabel
died in 1317 when her inquisition [CIPM 6, no. 765] established that
she held the hamlet of Sturdon, Gloucestershire as tenant of the king,
that she had died on 26th March, and that her daughter, Joan, wife of
Richard de la Ryvere, "aged 24 and more" was her next heir. Shortly
afterwards the king made the order to the escheator "to deliver to
Richard de la Riviere and Joan his wife, daughter and heir of Amabel
late the wife of John de Tregoz, tenant in chief, the lands late of her
said mother, Richard having done fealty" [CFR, 1307-1319, pp. 332].
Presumably Joan was her daughter by John Tregoz, for in 1338 Alina
Burnel complained that Joan de la Ryvere of Wyke, her son John, John
Tregoz, and others of Joan's household broke into her houses in Compton
Daundo and carried away her goods and assaulted her servants [CPR,
13338-1340, p.183].

I hope this has helped clarify the situation.

No; she was John Tregoz's widow in 1288. The "fine" was simply a
payment to excuse her from being obliged to marry someone else, in the
days when a feudal lord had the right to arrange the marriage of his
tenant's widow.

Sussex 11 June 1271. ' [1]

by Sibyl de Tregoz. >>

Agreed. However that creates the problem that Mabel, in 1288, is being fined
10 pounds for either getting married, or in order to get married, however you
view it. And yet, she is the mother of a Clarice granted free warren in
1271, during the lifes of both her own parents? So assuming the manor went to
Clarice in marriage, still Mabel has a 1288 fine.

How can that be explained?

Dear Rosie, Will, John et al.,

Thank you all very much for clearing up my confusion over the two Johns
and two Mabels.

There is a possiblility that the John Tregoz who died in or before 1288
was the son of Sir John Tregoz. In a post to SGM by Douglas Richardson
on 13 Dec 2005, he quotes a footnote in VCH Sussex, Vol 9, pp 152-3.
"FN (9) Cal. Charter Rolls, 1257-1300, pg. 169. There is mention of
Sir John Tregoz, elder and younger, before 1269: Lord de L'Isle and
Dudley MSS. (Hist. MSS. Comm.), 113."

I note that now we have another John Tregoz mentioned in the CPR of 16
Nov 1338, quoted above. I wonder who he was?

Regards

John

Since this 1263 is an issue, does CRR actually state "1263" or does it say
something more vague that makes the terminus date obscure ?

Since the 1300 IPM of John is quite specific about the ages of the heirs,
this point is of the utmost importance obviously since, if 1263 is an actual
terminus, then we are once more thrown to the wolves on this family, since Clarice
HAS to be born by 1261 at the absolute latest, unless we want to go
considering an 11 or 12 year old mother....

Cheers John! Just to help a bit to keep the Tregoz discussion clear
of confusion where poss, I wonder if we might just hold this part of
the sequence under wraps until some clear evidence for it turns up?
Not quite sure how, short of a visit to the sybil, we'll find
something hard as a pierre here, but otherwise I-for-one fear passing
the muddle on to my grandisons?!

Yrs ever,
