Hello All,

In my post of 12 September, re: the descendants of Thurstan de
Montfort and the identification of his daughter Juliana (de Montfort)
de Daiville, I noted that there was a relationship to the Cantelou
family that would be elaborated upon.

CP, Vol. IX (under Montfort of Beaudesert), p. 123 note a states
concerning Thurstan de Montfort:

' It is possible that he m. a da. of William
de Cauntelo the elder, steward of the
household to King John. His son Piers wrote
to Walter de Merton, Chancellor 1261-63,
about the business of (Walter de Cauntelo)
Lord (Bishop) of Worcester,
"avunculi nostri"
[Anc. Corresp., P.R.O., vol. vii, no. 20]. '

Certainly there is other evidence of a close relationship
between the Montforts of Beaudesert and the Cantelou family;
some of which does not immediately lend itself to assuming a
marital or blood relationship, including the acquisition of
the wardship of young Piers de Montfort by William de Cantelou
following his father's death before 21 Nov. 1216. However,
the long-term relationship between the family members, dating
throught the turbulent period of the 1260's down to the Battle
of Evesham in 1265, bears all the hallmarks of a familial
relationship which the above statement by Piers de Montfort
appears to finally resolve.

The existence of this relationship, while not identified
in other contemporaneous records to date, is supported by the
writings of Adam Marsh in the 1250's. Margaret Howell wrote,
concerning the aftermath of the June 1252 trial of Simon de
Montfort,

' According to Adam Marsh, the three men on whose
support Montfort could rely unfailingly were
Peter de Montfort (not a relative), Walter
Cantilupe bishop of Worcester, and Peter of
Savoy. Peter de Montfort and Cantilupe were
closely tied into Simon's affinity,.... ' [1]

Given the birth range for Thurstan de Montfort (ca. 1184,
as he was a minor on his father's death ca. 1199, with King
John taking his homage in 1205 - with the proviso he demise
his lands temporarily to William de Cantelou ! CP Vol. IX,
p. 130-131) and his son Piers (after Oct. 1210), it is clear
that Thurstan's wife was a sister of William de Cantelou 'the
younger' and Walter de Cantelou, and not a niece. Walter de
Cantelou was then uncle ['avunculus'] to Piers de Montfort,
and not a great-uncle as might otherwise be theorised.

The chart below outlines the relationships now evident
between the Cantelou, Longchamp, Montfort (Beaudesert) and
other families down to the 'daughtering-out' of the senior
line of the Cantelous of Aston Cantlow, co. Warwick.

Any and all comment, criticism, or added documentation
is welcome as always.

Best regards,

John *

to
John, this is intriguing - thanks.

(You may have noticed that Aston Cantlow and Beaudesert - presently
in Henley-in-Arden - are in virtually adjoining pshes, 4 mi. apart.
Many think the Cantiloup a Beaudesert, and some will pay a
considerable aMontfort.)

There seems to be confusion regarding the parentage of Henry de
Longchamp, spouse of Maud. There ALSO is confusion as to whether
there was an additional generation between Henry and Maud and Henry
and Joan. See both below:

1 Hugh de LONGCHAMP b: ABT. 1100 d: UNKNOWN
+ Eve de LACY b: 1112 d: UNKNOWN
2 Hugh de LONGCHAMP II b: ABT. 1128 d: UNKNOWN
+ Emma de St.LEGER b: ABT. 1130 d: UNKNOWN
3 Henry de LONGCHAMP b: 1150 d: 1212
+ Maud de CANTELU b: ABT. 1155 d: UNKNOWN
4 Hugh de LONGCHAMP III b: 1177 d: BEF. 1264
+ Georgia de COLUMBARS b: 1185 d: AFT. 1253
5 Henry de LONGCHAMP b: ABT. 1210 d: 1264
+ JOAN b: ABT. 1214 d: UNKNOWN


AND

1 Hugh I De Longchamp of Wilton,b: c 1120,d: c 1155
..+daughter De Lacy,b: c 1124
.... 2 Henry I De Longchamp,b: c 1153,d: 1212
...... +Maud De Cantilupe,b: c 1158
........ 3 Hugh III De Longchamp of Wilton,b: 1179
.......... +Georgia Columbaris, d: Aft. 1253
............. 4 Sir Henry II De Longchamp of Wilton,b: Aft. 1190,d:
Bef. 1258
............... +Joan (De Longchamp) of Wilton, m: Abt. 1230
................. 5 Maud De Longchamp of Wilton,b: c 1245,d: Bef. Nov
21, 1302


Clarification would be MOST appreciated!

~~~~ Is anyone still working on this family? Milisent Cantelupe? Niece of Bishop Thomas. Were William and Thomas brothers? as there's a big age difference. I'm looking at Milisent having lands in Northampton, that are linked to the Ravenscroft ( so called wife of John Norreys.)
I see that in 'Cheshire Viz 1580' it is given that Roger Monte Alto gave Bretton lands to ancestor of Hugh Ravenscroft wife, Isabelle Holland. Thank you ~~~~~
