------------------------------------

William de Beauchamp inherited not only the feudal barony of Elmley from his father, but had previously derived from his mother the Earldom of Warwick (originally possessed by the Newburghs), and the barony of Hanslape (which had belonged to the Mauduits). This eminent nobleman was a distinguished captain in the Welsh and Scottish wars of King Edward I. "In the 23rd year of which reign (1294-5), being in Wales with the king," as Dugdale relates, "he performed a notable exploit; namely hearing that a great body of the Welsh were got together in a plain betwixt two woods and, to secure themselves, had fastened their pikes to the group, sloping their pikes towards their assailants, he marched thither with a choice company of cross-bowmen and archers, and in the night time encompassing them about, but betwixt every two horsemen on cross-bowman, which cross-bowman killing many of them that held the picks, the horsemen charged in suddenly and made very great slaughter. This was done near Montgomery." His lordship m. Maud, widow of Girard de Furnival, and one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of Richard FitzJohn, son of John Fitz-Geffrey, chief Justice of Ireland, by whom he had surviving issue, Guy, his successor; Isabel, m. to Peter Chaworth; Maud, m. to -- Rithco; Margaret, m. to John Sudley; Anne and Amy, nuns at Shouldham, co. Norfolk, a monastery founded by his lordship's maternal great grandfather. William de Beauchamp, 1st Earl of Warwick of that family, d. in 1298, having previous to his mother's death used the style and title of Earl of Warwick, with what legality appears very doubtful, and was s by his eldest son, Guy de Beauchamp.

  Events

� Title: 6th Baron de Beauchamp and Elmsley; 9th Earl of Warwick (1268-1298). ¹³

� Manorial Estate, 1267-1298, Hawridge Manor, Hawridge, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5, GB. ¹⁴ The manor of HAWRIDGE is not mentioned in the Survey of 1086, and is first referred to in the 13th century, when it was held of the honour of Wallingford, (fn. 5) to which it remained attached as late as 1507. (fn. 6) In 1560, however, it was said to be held in free socage of Sir Francis Knollys as of his manor of Wingrave. (fn. 7)

Hawridge must have been included among the possessions of which Thurstan Basset died seised c. 1223 and passed to his daughter Isabel, widow of Robert Mauduit. (fn. 8) Their son William Mauduit (fn. 9) held here in 1235, (fn. 10) and was succeeded at his death about 1257 by his son Sir William Mauduit, afterwards Earl of Warwick. (fn. 11) On his death without issue about 1268 his estates passed to his nephew and heir William Beauchamp Earl of Warwick, (fn. 12) who in 1284 occupied the position of mesne lord. (fn. 13) This intermediary lordship is last heard of in 1300, when it was held by Guy his son and heir. (fn. 14)

The John Beauchamp who was holding the manor in fee in 1284 (fn. 15) was probably the brother of the ninth Earl of Warwick. (fn. 16)

C. Hen. III. File. 35. (13.)

� Manorial Estate, 1287-1297, Kemerton Manor, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, GL20, GB. ¹⁶ In 1190 John de Bonville held 2 knight's fees in Kemerton, presumably the whole of Girard's former estate, but by the early 13th century the manor seems to have been divided between two branches of the F�camp family. One part, described as half the manor and 1 knight's fee, was held by Nicholas de F�camp. It passed to the Crown by reason of the escheat of the Normans, and in 1240 was granted to Robert de Mucegros, lord of Boddington,who in 1235 had held the land at farm from Nicholas de F�camp, and later from the Crown during the minority of Nicholas's heirs. Robert died in 1254 and his half of the manor passed to his son, John (d. c. 1275), and then to John's son, Robert who died in 1280, leaving as his heir a daughter Hawise aged 4 years. Hawise married three times: first William de Mortimer (d. c. 1297), then John de Ferrers, who held the fee in 1303, and thirdly, before 1316, John de Bures. Hawise's inheritance was later disputed between the children of her second and third marriages, and although John de Bures (d. 1350) was recorded as holding the Mucegros half of Kemerton manor, the fact that in 1346 John de Ferrers, grandson of Hawise and her second husband, was given as the holder of the fee suggests that the title was even then in dispute. In 1357 an agreement was reached by which the Mucegros manors were divided between the two families, Kemerton being confirmed to the daughter and son-in-law of Hawise and John de Bures, Katherine and Giles Beauchamp (d. 1361), son of Walter Beauchamp of Powicke.

The other half of the manor was held in the early 13th century by Henry FitzGerald. In 1218 he was granted a market at Kemerton, and in 1229 disputed the advowson of the church with Nicholas de F�camp. Henry had acquired the estate by marriage with Ermentrude Talbot, whose interest may have stemmed from an earlier division of the manor between members of the F�camp family. Henry died c. 1231 and his lands reverted to the Talbots. Euphemia Talbot, presumably the daughter of Robert de F�camp, who was probably the Euphemia of Kemerton mentioned in 1210, held the estate at her death in 1240 when she was succeeded by her son, Gerard Talbot. Earlier, in 1237, Gerard's brother William Talbot had had an interest in the advowson of Kemerton church. In 1263 Robert de Stuteville held the fee, and in 1281 rights in it were exercised by Nicholas of Mitton, who was described as the partner of Robert de Mucegros in the town. By the end of the century, however, the Talbot inheritance seems to have been divided between the two sons of William Beauchamp, who was lord of the near-by manor of Elmley Castle (Worcs.). The elder son, William Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, held lands in demesne in Kemerton as early as 1287 when his claim to free warren in them was upheld, and at his death in 1297 he was seised of a quarter of the manor. The other quarter of the manor was held by his brother, Walter Beauchamp of Powicke, in 1303; it was later claimed that Walter had been granted his lands in Kemerton by his father, but part at least was granted by Simon the chamberlain c. 1300. After Walter's death his estate was held in dower by his wife, Alice, and after her death it presumably passed to their son, Giles Beauchamp, who through his wife, Katherine de Bures, had acquired the Mucegros half of the manor.
