Waleran de Newburgh 4th Earl of Warwick

* s/o Roger and Gundred de Warenne of Surrey

• m1: Margery de Oilly Issue:Henry, Waleran
• m2: Alice de Harcourt Issue: Alice, Gundred
• NB: marriage to Margaret de Bohun unlikely because of birth dates

Waleran de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Warwick (1153 – 12 December 1204) was the younger son of Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick and Gundred de Warrenne, daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey and Elizabeth de Vermandois. He was also known as Walerian de Newburg.

After his brother's death an impostor arose, claiming to be the deceased Earl; he gave Waleran a great deal of trouble in maintaining his claim. He does not appear to have been a great soldier, for he paid scutage money to escape military service in Wales. His position in the Court is attested by his bearing the right hand Sword of State at the Coronation of King John, 27 May 1199.

He liberally supported the hospital of St. Michael, Warwick and gave to the nuns of Pinley land at Claverdon, and land at Brailes to the nuns at Wroxall.

Family and children He married first to Margery, daughter of Henry d'Oily and Maud de Bohun and had children:

Henry de Beaumont, 5th Earl of Warwick, his heir. Waleran de Beaumont of Gretham and Cotismore. Gundred de Beaumont. She and her cousin Mabel became nuns at the Abbey of Pinley. His second wife was Alice de Harcourt, widow of John de Limesy, Lord of Cavendish, daughter of Robert de Harcourt and had one child:

Alice de Beaumont (died before 1263), married William de Maudit, Baron of Hanslape, Chamberlain to the King. They children were: William Maudit, 8th Earl of Warwick; Isabel de Maudit, married William de Beauchamp, Baron Emley. Their son was William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick.

WALERAN, son of ROGER Earl of Warwick & his wife Gundred de Warenne of Surrey (-[24 Dec 1203]). The Annals of Waverley record that “Wallerannus” succeeded “fratri suo Willelmo in comitatu Warevici” in 1185[1549]. He succeeded his brother in 1184 as Earl of Warwick. His succession was later challenged by someone claiming to be his older brother returned from Palestine[1550].

m firstly MARGARET [Margery], daughter of --- (-before 1196). Earl Waleran made a grant at Pinley for the soul of his wife Margery, as well those of his parents and his brother William[1551]. According to the Complete Peerage[1552], Earl Waleran's first wife was Margaret de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun & his wife Margaret of Hereford. This appears chronologically improbable considering the likely birth dates of the children of Humphrey/Margaret in the 1140s, and in light of the estimated birth date of Waleran/Margaret's son in [1190]. One possibility is that Margaret was the daughter of the younger Humphrey de Bohun and his wife Margaret of Huntingdon, who were married in early 1171. A more likely hypothesis is set out in the on-line Corrections and Additions to the Complete Peerage[1553], where it is suggested that Waleran's first wife was Margery de Oilly, daughter of Henry de Oilly of Hook Norton, Oxford & his wife Matilda de Bohun who, according to the Complete Peerage[1554], was the first wife of Waleran's son, Henry, despite the obvious chronological difficulties of the latter considering her birth date before 1163, when her father died. This latter hypothesis appears confirmed by a writ dated 7 Mar "47 Hen III", after the death of "John de Plessetis alias de Plascetis earl of Warwick", which notes that "Humphrey de Bohun gave the manor [of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire] in free marriage to Henry de Oylly with Maud his sister", names "a son Henry and two daughters" as their children, adding that "from the elder [daughter] issued Thomas earl of Warwick and one Margery"[1555]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1234, by "Walterus filius Symonis" against "Thomam comitem de Warewyc" which records that "Matillis de Boun antecessor ipsius Symonis" was "uxor Henrici de Oylly" by whom she had "filium Henricum de Oylly" who died without heirs but had "sororem Margeriam" who was the mother of "Henricum…comitem de Warewyc et qui fuit pater ipsius Thome"[1556].

m secondly ([1196/98]%29 as her second husband, ALICE de Harcourt, widow of JOHN de Limesey Lord of Cavendish, Suffolk, daughter of ROBERT de Harcourt of Bosworth, Leicestershire & his wife Millicent de Camville of Stanton, Oxfordshire (-after Sep 1212). The 1198/99 Pipe Roll records "Robert de Harcurt" in Warwick and Leicestershires and “the Earl of Warwick accounts for 100 marks for having to wife Robert de Harecurt’s daughter, widow of John de Limesi”[1557].

Earl Waleran & his first wife had two children:

1. HENRY ([1190]-1229 before 17 Oct). He succeeded his father in [1203] as Earl of Warwick. He was still a minor in 1205 when Thomas Basset paid for his wardship[1558]. An order dated 11 Oct 1227 records a lawsuit against "Henricum comitem Warewici et Philippam uxorem eius et Thomam filium ipsius comitis…"[1559]. The Annals of Tewkesbury record the death in 1229 of “comes Warewik”[1560]. m firstly ---. According to the Complete Peerage[1561], Earl Henry married firstly Margery de Oilly but, as shown above, it is more likely that she was Henry’s mother. The existence of the marriage appears to be based only on an interpretation of a 1263 inquisition according to which Henry's two children "issued from [exierunt]" the daughter of Henry de Oilly, although a broader translation of the expression as "descended from" is possible[1562]. m secondly (after 1205) as her first husband, PHILIPPA Basset, daughter and co-heiress of THOMAS Basset [II] of Headington, Oxfordshire & his wife --- (-before 29 Nov 1265, bur Bicester Priory). "Thom Basset" paid a fine for the marriage of "fil sua fil com de Warwic" in Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, dated 1205[1563]. "Henry earl of Warwick…and Philippa his wife, and Reginald de Vautorte…and Joan his wife, and Alice sister of Philippa and Joan" performed homage for the lands formerly of "Thomas Basset, whose heirs are Philippa, Joan and Alice", dated 19 May 1220[1564]. An order dated 11 Oct 1227 records a lawsuit against "Henricum comitem Warewici et Philippam uxorem eius et Thomam filium ipsius comitis…"[1565]. She married secondly (before 4 Nov 1229, divorced 1242) Richard Siward. Bracton records an inquiry, dated 1231, by "Thome Basset" which names "Ricardus Suward…et Philippam comitissam Warwici uxorem eius"[1566]. A writ dated 25 Aug "26 Hen III", and subsequent inquisitions, after the death of "Thomas Earl of Warwick" excluded the dower of "Philippa sometime the wife of Henry earl of Warwick and Maud sometime the wife of Henry de Oylly" and listed his lands without naming an heir[1567]. Earl Henry & his first wife had two children:

a) THOMAS (-26/27 Jun 1242, bur St Mary's Warwick). An order dated 11 Oct 1227 records a lawsuit against "Henricum comitem Warewici et Philippam uxorem eius et Thomam filium ipsius comitis…"[1568]. He succeeded his father in 1229 as Earl of Warwick. King Henry III received the homage of "Thome de Warewic filii et heredis H. quondam comitis Warewic", dated 1229[1569]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1242 of “Thomas comes Warwike”[1570]. A writ dated 25 Aug "26 Hen III", and subsequent inquisitions, after the death of "Thomas Earl of Warwick" excluded the dower of "Philippa sometime the wife of Henry earl of Warwick and Maud sometime the wife of Henry de Oylly" and listed his lands without naming an heir[1571]. A later writ dated 5 Feb "28 Hen III", after the death of Thomas Earl of Warwick, assigns two parts of his fees to "John de Plesseto and Margery his wife, sister and heir of the said earl" and one part to "Ela late his wife in dower"[1572]. A writ dated 7 Mar "47 Hen III", after the death of "John de Plessetis alias de Plascetis earl of Warwick", which notes that "Humphrey de Bohun gave the manor [of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire] in free marriage to Henry de Oylly with Maud his sister", names "a son Henry and two daughters" as their children, adding that "from the elder [daughter] issued Thomas earl of Warwick and one Margery" both of whom died childless[1573]. m as her first husband, ELA Longespee of Salisbury, daughter of WILLIAM Longespee Earl of Salisbury & his wife Ela Ctss of Salisbury (-9 Feb 1298, bur Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire). The Book of Lacock names “Isabellam de Vescy…Elam…Idam de Camyle” as the daughters of “Guillelmus Longespe ex…Ela”, adding that Ela married “Comes Warwik, et postea Philippus Basset” but was childless[1574]. A writ dated 5 Feb "28 Hen III", after the death of Thomas Earl of Warwick, assigns two parts of his fees to "John de Plesseto and Margery his wife, sister and heir of the said earl" and one part to "Ela late his wife in dower"[1575]. She married secondly ([13 Nov 1254/23 Mar 1255]) as his second wife, Philip Basset of Wycombe. Pope Innocent IV issued a dispensation to “Ela de Warwick of the diocese of Worcester to contract marriage with Philip son of Alan knight who is connected with her in the third degree of affinity”, dated 13 Nov 1254[1576]. Pope Alexander IV issued an indult to “Philip knight son of Alan deceased of the diocese of London and his wife Ela de Warwec...to remain in the marriage they have contracted notwithstanding that they are related in the fourth degree of consanguinity”, dated 23 Mar 1255[1577]. The Chroniculum of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbrook records the death in 1300 of “domina Ela comitissa Warwici” and her burial “Oseneye”[1578].

b) MARGARET (-3 Jun 1253). She succeeded her brother in 1242 as Ctss of Warwick, suo iure. A writ dated 5 Feb "28 Hen III", after the death of Thomas Earl of Warwick, assigns two parts of his fees to "John de Plesseto and Margery his wife, sister and heir of the said earl" and one part to "Ela late his wife in dower"[1579]. A writ dated 7 Mar "47 Hen III", after the death of "John de Plessetis alias de Plascetis earl of Warwick", which notes that "Humphrey de Bohun gave the manor [of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire] in free marriage to Henry de Oylly with Maud his sister", names "a son Henry and two daughters" as their children, adding that "from the elder [daughter] issued Thomas earl of Warwick and one Margery" both of whom died childless[1580]. m firstly (before 23 Aug 1242) JOHN Marshal Marshal of Ireland, son of JOHN Marshal, Marshal of Ireland & his wife Aline de Rye (-[3 Oct/23 Oct] 1242). m secondly (before 14 Sep 1243) as his second wife, JOHN du Plessis, son of --- (-25 Feb 1263, bur Missenden Abbey, Buckinghamshire). He succeeded as Earl of Warwick, de iure uxoris, using the title from Aug 1247 until his death[1581]. A charter dated 3 Feb 1247 records a final agreement between "Johannem de Plesseto" and "Willelmum Mauduyt et Aliciam uxorem eius", relating to "maneriis Warwyk…pertientibus ad comitatum Warr, unde Thomas frater Margerie uxoris eiusdem Johannis, cuius heres ipsa est", agreeing the succession of the latter if the wife of the former died without heirs[1582]. A writ dated 7 Mar "47 Hen III", after the death of "John de Plessetis alias de Plascetis earl of Warwick" records "Hugh his son, aged variously stated as 24 and more, 25 or more and 26, is his heir"[1583].

2. WALERAN (-after 30 Nov 1208). "Waleranus comes Warewych" granted "totam villam de Gretaham…medietatem de Cotusmor" to "Walerano filio meo" by charter dated to [1193/1204][1584]. King John confirmed "manerio de Gretham et Cotesmore", granted to "Walann fil com Walann de Warewic" by "predictus com Walann pater suus", by charter dated 30 Nov 1208[1585].

3. ALICE (-[3 Feb 1247/1263]). King John confirmed "manerio de Wauton", granted to "Alic fil com Walann de Warewic" by "predictus com Walann ad se maritand", by charter dated 30 Nov 1208[1586]. A charter dated 3 Feb 1247 records a final agreement between "Johannem de Plesseto" and "Willelmum Mauduyt et Aliciam uxorem eius", relating to "maneriis Warwyk…pertientibus ad comitatum Warr, unde Thomas frater Margerie uxoris eiusdem Johannis, cuius heres ipsa est", agreeing the succession of the latter if the wife of the former died without heirs[1587]. m ([30 Nov] 1208) WILLIAM [IV] Mauduit of Hanslope, Berkshire, son of ROBERT [II] Mauduit & his wife Isabella Basset (-before 14 Feb 1257).
