It is unclear whether the donor was the same person as Gilbert son of Baderon [II]. However, this is a possibility if the witness “Jacobo de Monemuta” was the same person as James son of Baderon [II].

It is not known whether this witness was the son of the donor or the same person as the donor´s paternal uncle, although the latter would presumably have been old if he had witnessed this charter. The undated charter under which “Hugo de Laci et Roes. uxor mea et Robertus filius meus” donated revenue to Monmouth Priory, witnessed by "Gilberto de Monemue…Roberto de Monemue…"[946], suggests that Baderon may have had a son named Robert (although this possible relationship is not specified in the document. Robert Bishop of Hereford confirmed the donation of the church of St Roald at Traget to Monmouth priory made by "Rotbertum Baderonis filium" by undated charter, dated to before 1144[947].

Proof of the parentage of Rohese, first wife of Hugh de Lacy, has not been found in any of the primary sources consulted during the preparation of the present document. However, the charter quoted above suggests a family connection with the Monmouth family, who had founded the priory. Her name suggests that she may have been the daughter of Baderon and his wife of the same name. m as his first wife, HUGH de Lacy, son of GILBERT de Lacy & his wife --- (-killed 25 Jul 1185).]

William had one illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:

5. ROBERT . "Willelmus filius Baderonis" donated "terram Chachebren…juxta molendinum Castelli Godrici" to the priory of Monmouth, with the consent of "domina Haduis uxor domini Willelmi et Iveta et Advenia filiæ eorum", by undated charter witnessed by "Robertus frater domini Willelmi, Paganus, Robertus Walensis filius domini [Willelmi]…"[950]. Robert must have been illegitimate considering that he was named with William´s daughters in giving consent to the donation.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William fitzBaderon

• Born c 1060/65? possibly La Boussac, Brittany
• Died between 1125 and 1138 unknown
• Nationality Anglo-Norman
• Occupation nobleman
• Known for Lord of Monmouth c.1082-1125

William fitzBaderon (c. 1060/65? – before 1138) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman of Breton descent, who was lord of Monmouth between about 1082 and 1125. He was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being responsible for Monmouth Castle and ten other manors in the surrounding region, and was responsible in 1101 for the consecration of the town's Priory which had been established in 1075 by his uncle Withenoc.

Life

He was the son of Baderon, a nobleman of La Boussac, near Dol in Brittany. Baderon was the son of Caradoc de La Boussac, a nobleman with estates near Dol in Brittany. Baderon's brother Withenoc (or Gwithenoc) was appointed lord of Monmouth by King William after the disgrace of Roger de Breteuil in 1075, and founded the Priory at Monmouth. The pious Withenoc then gave up his secular responsibilities in about 1082 to become a monk at Saumur, and, because his own son Raterius and his brother Baderon were also monks, the responsibilities fell on Baderon's son, William.[1] Withenoc's responsibilities initially passed for a short time to Ranulf de Colville, perhaps because William had not yet reached adulthood.[2]

In any event, by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, William had become a major landowner.[1] Besides his castle at Monmouth, he was also lord of Huntley, Longhope, Ruardean, and Siddington, in Gloucestershire; and of Ashperton, Hope Mansell, Munsley, Stretton Grandison, Walsopthorne and Whitwick, in Herefordshire.[2][3][4] At Monmouth, he may have been responsible for completing the rebuilding of the original wooden motte and bailey castle in stone.[1]

He and his family, together with his vassals, their wives, and Wihenoc, were present when Monmouth Priory was consecrated in 1101.[5] William was of sufficient eminence to attract to the ceremony such notables as King Henry's chaplain, Bernard.[1] William granted, to the abbey of Saint Florent at Saumur, the Priory Church of St Mary at Monmouth, "and all their churches, and the tithes of all their lands and of all their tenants, namely, of grain, of stock, of honey, of iron, of mills, of cheeses, and of whatever is tithed. They also gave, near the castle of Monemuda (Monmouth) the land of three ploughs and the mill of Milebroc (?), and a meadow at Blakenalre (?), and land at St. Cadoc (Llangattock-Vibon-Avel), and a meadow beneath their castle, and a virgate of land, namely, Godric's, and at Siddington a hide of land, and in all their woods pannage for swine of the monks' demesne. They also gave all wood required by the monks or their men for building. Lastly, [he] granted seven burgesses in their market-place, free from all toll and from all dues, save offences deserving corporal penalty."[6]

William married Hawise (or Hadwise), and was succeeded as lord of Monmouth by his eldest son, Baderon fitzWilliam of Monmouth, in about 1125. It is not known whether he died at that time, or retreated to a monastic life.[1]

"... William Fitz-Baderon was living in 1119, and was succeeded by his son Baderon Fitz-William, who augmented the estates of the Priory. He was living in 1128, about which period he married Rohesia, daughter of Gilbert Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, sister of Richard Strongbow, the Conqueror of Ireland, and was father of Gilbert, James, Walter de Huntley (whose descendants still exist), and Robert. Gilbert de Monmouth died about A.d. 1190, and was succeeded by his son John, who served as Sheriff for Herefordshire in 1231, and died in 1247, having, between the years 1230 and 1240, made further donations to the Priory. By his first wife Cecily, daughter of William Walerand, he left four daughters; and by his second, Agnes de Musgros, he had issue William, who died vita patris; John, who succeeded to the Estates; Richard de Wyesham; and Walter."

MANORS AND OTHER ESTATES. An estate of 4 hides in Ruardean, held in 1066 by Hadwig, had passed by 1086 to """"William son of Baderon"""", under whom it was held by Solomon. (fn. 146) Robert of Aumale (fl. 1176) (fn. 147) was perhaps the man with that name who claimed the advowson of Ruardean church in 1200 (fn. 148) and held land in Ruardean from the Crown by the serjeanty of guarding the bailiwick of Ruardean in the Forest. He was succeeded by his son William of Aumale, who obtained seisin of the land in 1233. (fn. 149) William, from whom the bailiwick was taken in hand for the Crown in 1250, (fn. 150) held the manor of RUARDEAN at his death c. 1256 by a cash rent, the service of attending the constable of St. Briavels with a horse and hauberk in the Forest, and suit to the Forest court. The manor was divided between his sisters or their sons, Thomas d'Evercy, Isabel of Aumale, Richard of Stalling, Maud of Aumale, and William Hathaway. (fn. 151) Some rents passed to Robert of Stalling, who died c. 1296 leaving an infant son John. (fn. 152) Although Thomas d'Evercy's share was said to be held by the service of guarding Ruardean bailiwick and paying a cash rent of 20s. at St. Briavels castle, (fn. 153) the Crown entrusted the bailiwick in 1301 to two men. (fn. 154) The Crown also made grants of the bailiwick in 1376 during the minority of the heirs of Thomas Hathaway, who was said to have held it in fee, (fn. 155) and in 1385. (fn. 156) Custody of the bailiwick had been restored to Ruardean manor by 1428 (fn. 157) and was held with it until the late 18th century. (fn. 158)

• Thomas d'Evercy's share of the estate, which continued to be called the manor of Ruardean, (fn. 159) passed at his death c. 1293 to his grandson Thomas d'Evercy. (fn. 160) William of March, bishop of Bath and Wells, who was apparently the latter's guardian, (fn. 161) had given the manor by 1302 to Robert Urry, possibly a relative of the d'Evercys, and Robert had sold it by 1306 to Alexander of Bicknor. (fn. 162) Alexander, a clerk who was appointed treasurer of Ireland in 1307, (fn. 163) agreed in 1311 to settle the manor on the marriage of his niece Margery and Geoffrey of Langley (fn. 164) but he retained it in 1325 when the reversion was granted to Richard of Carrant and his wife Margery, presumably the niece. (fn. 165) Alexander Carrant died seised of the estate in 1375 leaving his son John, a minor, as his heir. (fn. 166) John (d. 1382) was succeeded by his brother Edward, also a minor, whose father-in-law Thomas of Manston (fn. 167) had been custodian of the estate from 1376. (fn. 168) By 1415 it had apparently passed to Thomas Carrant (fn. 169) and in 1428 Thomas Carrant of Gloucester quitclaimed it to Robert Baynham of Mitcheldean. (fn. 170) At his death in 1436 (fn. 171) Robert settled the manor on his daughter Anne. She later married Thomas Deerhurst (fn. 172) and the manor passed to their son John. (fn. 173) He died in 1484 leaving Thomas Deerhurst, an infant, as his heir. (fn. 174) Of Robert Baynham's direct descendants Sir Alexander Baynham died seised of land in Ruardean in 1524 (fn. 175) and William Baynham held the manor at his death in 1568. William was succeeded in turn by his sons Robert (fn. 176) (d. 1572) and Joseph (d. 1613), whose son Alexander (fn. 177)retained the manor at least until 1617. (fn. 178) The descent of the manor after 1617 is obscure. Joan Vaughan, owner of Hathaways in Ruardean, claimed ownership in and before 1634 (fn. 179) but Thomas Roper evidently owned the manor in 1645. Thomas, a Roman Catholic, (fn. 180) died in 1647 (fn. 181) and his son William recovered part of the manor sequestered for his own recusancy. (fn. 182) William (d. 1685) was succeeded by his son John but in 1703 the manor was held by Benjamin Hyett, a Gloucester attorney, who was apparently among John's creditors. (fn. 183)Just before his death in 1709 John Roper appointed trustees to sell the manor and in 1717, the sale having been delayed by his protestant heir Edward Roper of Eltham (Kent), it was purchased by Edward's son-in-law Charles Henshaw, who paid off John's debts. (fn. 184) Charles (d. 1726) was succeeded by his daughters Elizabeth, Katherine, and Susanna, (fn. 185) and in 1738 Katherine and the baronets Edward Dering and Rowland Wynne, the respective husbands of Elizabeth and Susanna, sold the manor to Stephen Ashby of Worcester. (fn. 186) Ashby, who had acquired Hathaways manor and other land in Ruardean, died in 1743 leaving his Ruardean estate to his cousin Richard Clarke of New Hill Court (later Hill Court) in Walford (Herefs.). (fn. 187) Richard (d. 1748) was succeeded by his brother John (d. 1759) and John by his sisters Alicia (d. 1779), Jane (d. 1806), and Mary (d. 1789) as joint owners. (fn. 188) After Jane's death much of her Ruardean land was sold off in lots (fn. 189) but the Hill Court estate, which she left to Kingsmill Evans, (fn. 190) retained a small part of it. (fn. 191) The manorial rights and some land were bought by James Pearce of Lydbrook. (fn. 192) He died in 1827 leaving his estate to his wife Ann for life, and in 1856, when she was still alive, his surviving son John sold the manorial rights and a little land to John Francis Vaughan of Courtfield, (fn. 193) whose family had held land in Ruardean since 1635 or earlier. (fn. 194) From J. F. Vaughan (d. 1880) the manorial rights passed in the direct line to Francis (d. 1919), Charles (fn. 195) (d. 1948), and Joseph (d. 1972), (fn. 196) and trustees acting for Joseph's son Mr. Patrick Vaughan held them in 1990. (fn. 197)

In the later Middle Ages the manor included a castle (fn. 198) built under the licence granted in 1311 to Alexander of Bicknor to crenellate his house at Ruardean. (fn. 199) The castle, on a spur north-west of the church, was defended by a perimeter wall and included a substantial earthwork. It may have been still standing in 1611 (fn. 200) but most of its masonry had been removed by 1831. (fn. 201) In the 1930s, when the site was investigated by local treasure hunters, remains of a small chamber were uncovered and in 1990 the surviving fabric included part of a doorway. (fn. 202)

• William Hathaway, one of the lords of Ruardean in the early 14th century, (fn. 203) had probably inherited part of William of Aumale's estate as a minor. (fn. 204) Hathaway's estate, later called HATHAWAYS or HATHAWAYS COURT manor, (fn. 205) was held from Alexander of Bicknor for a cash rent. It passed from William (d. c. 1317) to his son William (fn. 206) and by 1355 to the latter's son Walter. Thomas Hathaway, the owner in 1366, (fn. 207) held land in Ruardean from the Crown for a cash rent paid at St. Briavels castle and at his death in 1376 his heirs were his infant daughters Isabel, Sibyl, and Ellen. (fn. 208) His estates in Ruardean and St. Briavels were divided between them in 1382, when Isabel and her husband Thomas Walwyn received her share. (fn. 209) The Crown retained the other shares until Sibyl, who married Nicholas Hyde, and Ellen came of age. (fn. 210) Thomas Walwyn, of Much Marcle (Herefs.), died in 1415 and was survived by Isabel and several sons, of whom Richard was his heir. (fn. 211) In 1445 Ellen, the widow of William Walwyn, quitclaimed rents in Ruardean to John Hickox and his wife Isabel, and in 1450 Isabel quitclaimed land which she had inherited from her mother Sibyl Hyde to William Walwyn of Bickerton in Much Marcle. (fn. 212) William held a manor court in 1454, (fn. 213) when he was also described as of Ruardean, (fn. 214) and at his death in 1471 Hathaways, held from Ruardean manor for 1d., passed to his daughter Alice, wife of Thomas Baynham (fn. 215) (d. 1500). Alice, who later married Sir Walter Dennis (d. 1505 or 1506), (fn. 216) died in 1518 and the estate passed to her son Sir Christopher Baynham (fn. 217) (fl. 1534). (fn. 218) His son George, who held it in 1541, (fn. 219) was knighted in 1546 and died later that year leaving the manor for life to his wife Cecily, who later married Sir Charles Herbert. (fn. 220) From Cecily, whose son Richard Baynham may have held the manor court in the 1550s, it passed in 1585 to another son Thomas Baynham, (fn. 221) who was succeeded in 1611 by his daughter Joan and her husband John Vaughan of Kinnersley (Herefs.). (fn. 222) John, a Roman Catholic, was outlawed and in 1612 the manors he held in Joan's right were confiscated. (fn. 223) Joan recovered her estates but forfeited them, temporarily, on her conviction for recusancy in 1619. John died later that year and Joan, who continued to support the Roman Catholic cause and resided in Ruardean, in 1642. Her son and heir Baynham Vaughan (fn. 224)died in 1650, (fn. 225) his estates having been sequestered for his recusancy. (fn. 226) Hathaways, which in 1658 was held by Thomas Frewen and John Monger, was eventually recovered by John Vaughan, (fn. 227) Baynham's eldest son, who died in 1694. (fn. 228) The estate passed to John's cousin Thomas Vaughan, a lunatic by 1703, and reverted at his death c. 1727 to Sir John Gifford, Bt., of Burstall (Leics.). (fn. 229) In 1736 Joseph Clarke bought the manor from Gifford for his nephew Stephen Ashby, (fn. 230) and in 1738 it was united with Ruardean manor, with which it passed to the Clarke family on Ashby's death. (fn. 231)

• Chapter 10. LORDS of MONMOUTH

Two brothers, whose names indicate Breton origin:

1. WETHENOC [Guihenoc] . “Wihenocus de Monemue” founded the church “in castro meo de Monemue”, and donated it to the monastery of Saint-Florent de Saumur, by undated charter witnessed by "Baderon frater meus, Willielmus Yvin, Robertus, Paganus, Ywen Troue filii Baderonis…"[865]. A charter dated 4 Feb [1075/86] records the confirmation by William I King of England of a donation to Saumur Saint-Florent by "Wethenocus de Monmouth", witnessed by "Alano comite et Baderono fratre Wethenoci et ipso Wethenoco…"[866]. "Wihenoecus…atque Willelmus nepos eius" donated the priory of Monmouth to Saint-Florent de Saumur by undated charter witnessed by "Wihenocus Sancti Florentii monachus…de hominibus domni Willelmi…Raterius filius Wihenoci…", later consented to by "uxor domni Willelmi et filiæ ipsius…Iveta et Advenia"[867]. This charter shows that Wethenoc became a monk at the end of his life. m ---, daughter of JUHEL Archbishop of Dol & his wife ---. An enquiry made at Dol by order of Henry II King of England dated Oct 1181 records that "Juhellus" was consecrated archbishop of Dol, against the wishes of the Pope, was married and "ex ea habuit filiam" whom he married to "Guihenoco" with "monus Brientii…in Dolensi territorio" as her dowry[868]. Wethenoc had one illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:

a) RATHER . "Wihenocus Sancti Florentii monachus…de hominibus domni Willelmi…Raterius filius Wihenoci…", later consented to by "uxor domni Willelmi et filiæ ipsius…Iveta et Advenia"[869]. Rather must have been illegitimate as he did not inherited the lordship of Monmouth, which went to Wethenoc´s nephew.

• unknown
• Nationality Anglo-Norman
• Occupation nobleman
• Known for Lord of Monmouth c.1082-1125
• William fitzBaderon (c. 1060/65? – before 1138) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman of Breton descent, who was lord of Monmouth between about 1082 and 1125. He was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being responsible for Monmouth Castle and ten other manors in the surrounding region, and was responsible in 1101 for the consecration of the town's Priory which had been established in 1075 by his uncle Withenoc.
• Life
• He was the son of Baderon, a nobleman of La Boussac, near Dol in Brittany. Baderon was the son of Caradoc de La Boussac, a nobleman with estates near Dol in Brittany. Baderon's brother Withenoc (or Gwithenoc) was appointed lord of Monmouth by King William after the disgrace of Roger de Breteuil in 1075, and founded the Priory at Monmouth. The pious Withenoc then gave up his secular responsibilities in about 1082 to become a monk at Saumur, and, because his own son Raterius and his brother Baderon were also monks, the responsibilities fell on Baderon's son, William.[1] Withenoc's responsibilities initially passed for a short time to Ranulf de Colville, perhaps because William had not yet reached adulthood.[2]

In any event, by the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, William had become a major landowner.[1] Besides his castle at Monmouth, he was also lord of Huntley, Longhope, Ruardean, and Siddington, in Gloucestershire; and of Ashperton, Hope Mansell, Munsley, Stretton Grandison, Walsopthorne and Whitwick, in Herefordshire.[2][3][4] At Monmouth, he may have been responsible for completing the rebuilding of the original wooden motte and bailey castle in stone.[1]

• He and his family, together with his vassals, their wives, and Wihenoc, were present when Monmouth Priory was consecrated in 1101.[5] William was of sufficient eminence to attract to the ceremony such notables as King Henry's chaplain, Bernard.[1] William granted, to the abbey of Saint Florent at Saumur, the Priory Church of St Mary at Monmouth, "and all their churches, and the tithes of all their lands and of all their tenants, namely, of grain, of stock, of honey, of iron, of mills, of cheeses, and of whatever is tithed. They also gave, near the castle of Monemuda (Monmouth) the land of three ploughs and the mill of Milebroc (?), and a meadow at Blakenalre (?), and land at St. Cadoc (Llangattock-Vibon-Avel), and a meadow beneath their castle, and a virgate of land, namely, Godric's, and at Siddington a hide of land, and in all their woods pannage for swine of the monks' demesne. They also gave all wood required by the monks or their men for building. Lastly, [he] granted seven burgesses in their market-place, free from all toll and from all dues, save offences deserving corporal penalty."[6]

William married Hawise (or Hadwise), and was succeeded as lord of Monmouth by his eldest son, Baderon fitzWilliam of Monmouth, in about 1125. It is not known whether he died at that time, or retreated to a monastic life.
