David Nash Ford's Royal Berkshire History

Sir Nicholas Carew, Baron Carew of Moulsford

• Born: circa 1255
• Died: 1311 at Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire

Nicholas was the son of Nicholas Carew Senior and his wife, Avice Tuitt. His father was an important marcher lord living at Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire from which the family took its name. They were descended from Walter FitzOther, the Constable of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, and their main residence in England was Moulsford Manor in the same county, where they lived when attending the Royal Court in Oxford or Woodstock, or even London.

Sir Nicholas became a high ranking officer and distinguished soldier under King Edward I. His early career is obscure, but, in 1278, he received Royal letters of protection upon travelling to Ireland for two years on the King's service. In 1299, he gave letters of attorney, as he was again going abroad with Aymer de Valence, the Earl of Pembroke. By the following year, he was serving in the King's army in Scotland where he was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in the July. One can imagine that he fought bravely in many of King Edward's Scottish, Welsh and French campaigns. His reputation was such that he attended the Parliament called at Lincoln, in January 1301, to consider the letter from Pope Boniface VIII claiming his position as feudal overlord of Scotland. He signed the barons reply as 'Lord of Moulsford', but because he had not actually received a writ of summons, his position as Lord Carew is not generally accepted. Later, in June that same year, he was summoned, as from Devon, to perform military service in person against the Scots and to attend the muster at Berwick. In August 1305, he was appointed Constable of Bothwell Castle.

At home, 'Lord' Carew was responsible for much of the medieval construction of Carew Castle between 1280 and 1310. He died in 1311 and was buried the parish church of Carew Cheriton, where an effigy of a knight, believed to be his, remains to this day. He had married twice, firstly to Amicia Peverel by whom he had four sons, and secondly to Avice Martin by whom he had a further four son and a single daughter. He was succeeded in his estates by his eldest surviving son, John.

Nicholas Carew (died 1311), by Wikipedia

He was feudal lord of Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, feudal lord of Odrone[2] (mod. Idrone, County Carlow)[3] in Ireland and lord of the manor of Moulsford in Berkshire (since 1974 in Oxfordshire), was a soldier. He was the first of the Carew family to form a connection with the English county of Devon,[4] where his descendants became very prominent until modern times. His descendants obtained three Carew baronetcies and four peerage titles, namely Baron Carew (1605) in the Peerage of England (for Sir Sir George Carew (1555–1629), created in 1626 Earl of Totnes) and Baron Carew (1834) in the Peerage of Ireland and Baron Carew (1838) of Castle Boro in the County of Wexford, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom (both for Robert Shapland Carew (1787–1856)).

Origins

He was the eldest son and heir of Nicholas de Carew (died 1297), feudal lord of Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire, lord of the manor of Moulsford in Berkshire and jure uxoris feudal lord of Odrone, by his wife Avice Tuitt, daughter and heiress of Richard Tuitt of Marston in County Westmeath, Ireland, whose family had acquired the Barony of Odrone by an earlier marriage to the heiress of Odrone.[5]

Career

As Nic(olae)us de Carru, D(omi)n(u)s de Mulesford ("Nicholas de Carew, lord of the manor of Moulsford") he was one of 103 signatories of the Barons' Letter of 1301 addressed to Pope Boniface VIII as a repudiation of his claim of feudal overlordship of Scotland and as a defence of the rights of King King Edward I of England as overlord of that kingdom.

Baron Carew

In 1300–1 he was summoned to Parliament by writ of King Edward I (1272–1307) as Dominus de Moulsford ("lord of the manor of Moulsford") by which he is deemed to have become Baron Carew.[6] He is called "Baron Carew" in various sources,[7] but a peerage title Baron Carew at this early date is not mentioned in the authoritative Complete Peerage (1887–98) by George Edward Cokayne. Pole however states that he was summoned to Parliament by writ of King Edward I (1272–1307), which would have made him a baron.[8] If so, there is no clear descent of such barony, and no explanation of why it had no clear ending.[9] According to Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage, 1968: "For several generations the heads of the family are described as Barons of Carew and Hidron, but none of them sat in Parliament with the exception of Nicholas de Carew who subscribed to the celebrated Barons' letter to the Pope in 1300".

Caerlaverock Roll

He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle in Scotland in 1301, during which his armorials were amongst those blazoned in French verse by English heralds in the Caerlaverock Roll of Arms, as follows:[11]

An vaillant home e de grant los
O lui, Nichole de Karru,
Dont meinte foiz orent paru
Li fait en couvert e en lande
Sur la felloune gent d'Irlande;
Baniere ot jaune bien passable,
O treis lyouns passans de sable.

("A valliant man ... Nicholas de Carew, who many times appeared ... a banner of gold ... three lions passant of sable")
