The primary source which confirms that Richard was her father has not yet been identified, but from a chronological point of view this appears likely to be correct.

The Pagnel family held the manor of Newport after the Norman conquest. Fulk Pagnel was responsible for founding Tickford Priory, to which he gave the church, and possibly for building the castle which was probably a wooden structure.

THE PRIORY OF TICKFORD OR NEWPORT PAGNEL

The priory of Tickford was not the only house of this order in Buckinghamshire; but it was the only one which survived the suppression of alien priories and became indigenous, during the course of the Hundred Years' War. It was certainly one of the earliest monasteries founded in this county, if not actually the first (fn. 1) ; but the date of foundation cannot be exactly fixed. There is a charter in existence, witnessed by Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury, and therefore not later than 1154, (fn. 2) which recounts the gifts of Gervase Paynel, then living, and also of his father Ralf and his grandfather Fulk, the founder of the house; and this seems to bring it very near the beginning of the twelfth century. Fulk Paynel is said to have been the son of Ralf Paynel, (fn. 3) who appears in the Domesday Survey and was founder of the priory of Holy Trinity at York near the close of the eleventh century.

Footnotes

1 The priory of Ivinghoe may perhaps have been a little earlier: but its date of foundation is as uncertain as that of Tickford.

2 Round, Cal. of Doc. France, i. 444. It is a charter of Robert de Chesney, bishop of Lincoln. Reference was made to the same charter and others of Fulk and Gervase Paynell and of Henry II. in some inspeximus charters of Hubert archbishop of Canterbury, dated 1224 (Harl. MS. 2188, f. 125).

NICK BANTOCK, THE MYTH

An unsavory tale of love, treachery, revenge --

and, yes, an evil dragon -- lies at the heart of a huge Neolithic burial mound near the center of Jersey Island.

SOMEWHERE AROUND 1200 A.D., when the cruel idolatries of the Druids and pagan rites of the Romans were still secretly performed in the dark corners of Europe, the estate of Hambie in Normandy was ruled by the Knight Fulk Paynel. Now, as much as Lord Paynel loved his beautiful wife, Ermengarde de Ravenel, he had grown tired of the tedium of daily routine.

So when a passing minstrel happened to sing the tale of a Dragon who was causing much distress on the adjacent Isle of Jersey (devouring maidens and perpetrating other unpleastnesses), the good Knight, being of noble heart, and seeing a way to alleviate his boredom, vowed to fight with the beast. Of course his wife begged him not to embark on such a risky venture, but Lord Paynel heeded her not, and set sail, taking with him Gaspond de Lunel, his esquire and cousin. Unbeknownst to Paynel, Gaspond had a grudge against him -- it would seem that some unnamed wrong had filled his heart with gall and wormwood, leaving him ripe for revenge.

The pair traveled to the gloomy marsh of St. Laurens where the Dragon was in residence, and there, a great battle took place. All day the Knight struggled against the mighty wreaths of vapors that were emitted from the Dragon's fiery nostrils, but eventually Paynel triumphed and the creature lay dead. Naturally, being quite exhausted from the fight, the gallant Knight took a nap, and while in repose, Gaspond snatched the opportunity to slide a long dagger between the joints of his Lord's armour, thus putting an end to his gallant master.

Taking the signet ring from the expired man's finger, Gaspond returned to Normandy, and declared that his Lord had been slain by the Dragon, and that he, Gaspond, had in turn put the creature to the sword. He also claimed that Paynel's dying wish had been that Ermengarde be betrothed to none other than Gaspond, his avenging servant.

Ermengarde did not take well to the suggestions, but after lengthy considerations she acquiesced. Gaspond married, bedded the comely lady, and became Lord of the estate. His infamy had seemingly succeeded, but then a few year later he became ill and during a fevered sleep blurted out the true story behind the e fateful day in the marsh of St. Laurens.

The following morn he was taken to the Palace of Justice in Rouen, tried, and found guilty. However, Ermengarde (who must have had a very magnanimous spirit) remained faithful to Gaspond, forgive him for his show of bad manners in killing her husband. In fact, she even shared Gaspond's dungeon in order to attend to his deepening sickness.

Many of the Hambie clan journeyed to Rouen to witness Gaspon's public departure from the world, but on the night before his execution, the villain compounded his crimes by dying, thus cheating everyone of their much-anticipated entertainment.

Back at her home in Normandy, the Lady Ermengarde, who could see the outline of Jersey from her castle window, decreed that a great "houge" and church (The Nortre Dame de Hambie) be built on the site of the slaying — not just in memory of her first husband, but in expiation of her second. THE END.
