About Hugh de Beauchamp, of Bedford

Parentage undocumented.

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3.htm

HUGH de Beauchamp ([1050/60]-[1114]). His birth date range is suggested by his absence from any charters of King William I, which indicates that he may have come of age in the latter part of the king´s reign. William II King of England confirmed to "Hugh of Beauchamp and all his barons of Bucks" that Gilbert Abbot of Westminster had proved his title to land granted by King William I, by charter dated to [1087/95][418]. "…Hugo de Beauchamp…" witnessed the undated charter under which King William II instructed Ramsey abbey to return fugitives if found[419]. "Hugh de Beauchamp, Ralph Paganel" witnessed the charter dated to [1094/1100] under which William II King of England granted a market to St Mary of Thorney[420].

m MATILDA, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the Chronicon Rameseiensis which records a donation which names "quatuor ex hominibus Simonis de Bellocampo et Mahald matris eius", dated to [1124/30][421]. A charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1124/30] names "Simonis de Bello Campo et Mahald matris eius"[422].

Hugh & his wife had [at least] two children:

a) SIMON de Beauchamp (-[1137]). "…Simone de Bello Campo…" witnessed the charter dated 1114 under which Henry I King of England granted the land of Roger de Worcester to Walter de Beauchamp[423]. A charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1124/30] names "Simonis de Bello Campo et Mahald matris eius"[424]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Symon de Belcapo" in Bedfordshire[425]. Orderic Vitalis records that Bedford castle had been granted to "Rodberti de Bello Campo…frater eius", presumably referring to Simon as the same paragraph records his daughter´s marriage[426]. "…Simundus de Belecamp…" witnessed the charter of Ramsey abbey dated to [1133/37] which records that "Walterus de Bolebeche…Heylenius uxor sua et Hugo filius suus" donated "terram de Waltone"[427]. m ---. The name of Simon´s wife is not known. Simon & his wife had one child:

i) daughter . Orderic Vitalis records that "Hugoni cognomento Pauperi" married "filiam Simonis de Bello Campo"[428]. m HUGH de Beaumont, son of ROBERT de Beaumont-le-Roger Comte de Meulan, Earl of Leicester & his wife Elisabeth de Vermandois [Capet] (-after 1140). A favourite of King Stephen who gave him the castle and barony of Bedford in 1138, thereby creating him Earl of Bedford. He was ejected from Bedford by his wife´s first cousins, the sons of Robert Beauchamp. He appears to have lapsed into poverty and was probably degraded from his peerage[429].

b) ROBERT de Beauchamp (-before 1130). Orderic Vitalis records that Bedford castle had been granted to "Rodberti de Bello Campo…frater eius" (the latter referring to Simon de Beauchamp)[430]. He presumably died before the 1129/30 Pipe Roll in which his son is named. m ---. The name of Robert´s wife is not known. Robert & his wife had two children:

i) MILES de Beauchamp (-after [1141/42]). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Miloni de Belcampo" in Buckinghamshire[431]. The Gesta Stephani Regis records that King Stephen besieged "Milonem de Bellocampo" in the castle of Bedford, dated to [1140/42][432]. Orderic Vitalis records that "filii Rodberti de Bello Campo" held the castle of Bedford against King Stephen[433]. Empress Matilda made various grants of property by charter dated to [1141/42] witnessed by "…Milo de Belloc´…"[434].

ii) PAYN de Beauchamp (-1156). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Lord of Bedford. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…”, by undated charter dated to [1150][435]. “Ricardus de Bellocampo” donated "ecclesiam de Lamerseia" to Colne Priory, Essex, with the consent of "Adelinæ uxoris meæ", by undated charter, witnessed by "Pagano de Bellocampo, Stephano et Waltero de Bellocampo"[436]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois…”[437]. m (after 1144) as her second husband, ROHESE de Vere, widow of GEOFFREY de Mandeville Earl of Essex, daughter of AUBREY de Vere, Chamberlain of England & his wife Adelisa de Clare ([1105/10]-after 1166, bur Chicksand Priory). “G de Magnavilla et Roeisa uxor eius” donated property to Hurley Priory, Berkshire by undated charter[438]. “Paganus de Bellocampo et uxor eius Rohaisa comitissa” founded Chicksand priory, for the soul of “…Simonis de Bellocampo…”, by undated charter dated to [1150][439]. “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…Ivo Taillebois…”[440]. A manuscript document narrating the foundation of Newenham Priory names “Paganus de Bello-campo” as its founder, his wife “Roisia”, and their son “Simon de Bellocampo”[441]. Payn & his wife had [two] children:

(a) [HELEN . “Paganum et comitissam Roheis…sponsa mea” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “dominella Elena…”[442]. It is probable that "dominella Elena", as first in the list of subscribers, was closely related was the donors, possibly their daughter. If this is correct, the absence of the couple´s known son Simon suggests that Helen must have been their oldest suriviving child.]

(b) SIMON de Beauchamp (-1207). A manuscript document narrating the foundation of Newenham Priory names “Paganus de Bello-campo” as its founder, his wife “Roisia”, and their son “Simon de Bello-campo”[443]. Lord of Bedford.

Came to England with William the Conqueror. [The Roll of Battle Abbey]

Beauchamps, near Avranches, in the Cotentin, was part of the barony of St-Denis le Gaste. Hugo de Belcamp is written in Domesday as holding a great barony, comprising 37 lordships in Bedford, Buckingham and Hertford. Hugh is said to have had three sons, Simon, Pagan, and Milo . This great family, one of whom was among the founders of the order of the Garter, was the same race as the Grenvilles, Meurdracs, Montagues and were the ancestors of the earls of Warwick. [Falaise Roll, p. 58]

Three or four under-tenants of Beauchamp of Bedford derived their names from places within the single canton of Tilly-sur-Seulles: Wimund de Taissel from Tessel, William de Locels from Loucelles, and Serlo de Ros from Rots. The fourth is Osbert de Broilg, who Round suggest s may have derived from Brouay, pointing out however that the Domesday form is more suggestive of Breuil, a name borne by several places in Calvados, though not in the canton of Tilly . These facts suggest further that the original home of the Beauchamps is to be sought in Calvados , but of the only two Beauchamps in that department one is a fief in Moyaux, cant. Lisieux, 7 6 kil. E of Tilly-sur-Seulles, and the other in Vouilly, cant Isigny, 32 kil W of it , and it is impossible to draw any sound inference from such evidence. [Anglo-Norman Familie s, pp. 2 0-21]

m. Matilda Taillebois; father of Robert, Simon, Walter. [GRS 3.03, Automated Archives, CD#10 0 ]

Possible Son of Robert de Vieilles, Seigneur; Walter De Beauchamp; Robert de Beauchamp de Ferrers and Emiline De Beauchamp
