Henry de Audley (Aldithley)
Richard Ledyard
daughter of Henry de Audley (Aldithley). Based on dates, I would guess
that her father was Henry, younger brother of James, justicar of Ireland,
who succeeded James' son, James, and died in 1276. Can anyone confirm or
shoot this apart?
Thank you,
Dick Ledyard

Henry de Alditheley was in great favor with Ranulph de Meschines, Earl of
Chester and Lincoln (the most powerful subject in England in his time).
Henry de Alditheley obtained from Ranulph de Meschines a grant of Newhall in
Cheshire, with manors in Staffordshire and other parts, and for his adhesion
to King John, in that monarch's struggle with the insurrectionary barons, a
royal grant of the lordship of Storton, in Warwickshire, part of the
possessions of Robert of Summerville. In the four first years of the reign of
King Henry III. he executed the office of sheriff for the counties of Salop
and Stafford, as deputy for his patron, the great Earl Ranulph. In the 10th
year of Henry III. this Henry de Alditheley was appointed governor of the
castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan, and made sheriff the next year of the
counties of Salop and Stafford and constable of the castles of Salop and
Bridgenorth, which sheriffalty he held for five years. Upon his retirement
from office, he had a confirmation of all such lands, whereof he was then
possessed, as well as those granted to him by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and
Nicholas de Verdon, as those in Ireland, given him by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of
Ulster, whose constable he was in that province. He subsequently obtained
diverse other territorial grants from the crown, but, notwithstanding, when
Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, rebelled, and made an incursion into
Wales, the king, Henry III., thought it prudent to secure the persons of this
Henry, and all the other barons-marchers. He was afterwards, however,
constituted governor of Shrewsbury, in the place of John de Lacy, Earl of
Lincoln, and on the death of John, Earl of Chester, governor of the castle of
Chester, and also that of Beeston, then called the "Castle on the Rock," and
soon after made governor of Newcastle-under-Lyne. This powerful feudal baron
married Bertred Meisnilwarin, daughter of Ralph de Meisnilwarin. of Cheshire.
He died in 1236, having founded and endowed the Abbey of Hilton, near to his
castle at Heleigh, in Staffordshire, for Cisterian monks, and was succeeded
by his son, James. [HBJ]

d: Abt. 11 June 1276 in IRL
James de Alditheley was a great favorite of Richard, Earl of Cornwall, at
whose coronation as King of Almaine (Germany) he assisted. He had livery of
his lands in the 31st year of King Henry III., and was constituted in two
years afterwards constable of Newcastle-under-Lyne. Being one the
lords-marchers he was actively employed for some years against the Welsh, and
was appointed governor of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, and sheriff
of the counties of Salop and Stafford. He was the Justice of Chester, sealed
1259. In the 47th year of Henry III., he was made Justice of Ireland; and in
the same year, upon the misunderstanding between the king and the barons,
regarding the provisions of Oxford, being referred to the arbitration of
monarch of France, he was one of the noblemen who undertook for the king
therein. The next year we find him with Roger de Mortimer and the other
barons-marchers, giving battle to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales, and afterwards
joining the Earl of Gloucester at Evesham in rescuing the king, who had
become captive to the Earl of Leicester at the battle of Lewes. In the 52nd
year of Henry III., he performed a pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in
Galicia, in Spain, and the following year embarked in the Crusade with the
king and Prince Edward. He married Ela, daughter of William Longespee, Earl
of Salisbury. She was living in 1282. [HBJ]
He died of a broken neck.

A minor at his father's death as his wardship was given to William de
Cauntelo; in 1236 he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago with William de
Cauntelo, the Younger. He was with the King on the unsuccessful expedition to
Poitou in 1242, but in 1245 his lands were confiscated by the King when he
attended a prohibited tournament at Cambridge. In 1248 he was overseas with
Simon de Montfort & served in Gascony. He accompanied Prince Edward in the
summer of his journey to Spain for his marriage to Eleanor of Castile. In Feb
1258 he was appointed a commissioner to arrange a truce with Llewelyn, Prince
of Wales. When the King renewed his struggle with the barons in 1261, he was
elected one of the 3 arbitrators to negotiate with the King, & later he was
one of the magnates who besieged & took Worcester, 28 Feb. 1262/3. However,
he was captured when Northampton Castle fell to the King in AprilI 1264 & was
for a short time imprisoned in Windsor Castle until being released by the
victorious baronial party after the Battle of Lewes. During the dominance of
Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, he received many commissions & grants,
but was slain at the Battle of Evesham, 4 Aug. 1265.
