About William II Pantulf, seigneur d'Emiéville

from fmgMedlands

WILLIAM [II] Pantulf, son of [IVO Pantulf & his [second] wife Alice de Verdun] (-after 1166). "Normannus Panton" confirmed to "Ranulpho de Tetesworth" the rights granted by "Alicia de Verdon mater mea, consensu Willi Panton fratis mei" in "villa de Rudierd" by undated charter[56]. Domesday Descendants states that William, son of Ivo, was the same person as William who is named in the other sources below, but does not cite the primary source which confirms this affiliation[57]. Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed donations to Langley Nunnery, Leicestershire made by “Willielmus Pantulf…de Bredun”, and including other donations made by “…Burgæ quondam uxoris Willielmi Pantulf de Bredun”, by undated charter[58]. "William Pantulf of Samella, his wife Burga and his three sons William, Roger and Philip" donated "the land of Samella" to Saint-André de Gouffern by charter dated 1166, witnessed by "Willelmus Bastardus filius meus…"[59].

m BURGA [de Stuteville], daughter of [ROBERT [II] d’Estouteville & his second wife Erneburga ---] (-after 1166). Domesday Descendants names "Burga de Stuteville" as the wife of William Pantulf, but does not cite the primary source which confirms her family origin[60]. If this affiliation is correct, the chronology suggests that Burga was the daughter of Robert [II] d’Estouteville and his second wife, named after her mother. Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed donations to Langley Nunnery, Leicestershire made by “Willielmus Pantulf…de Bredun”, and including other donations made by “…Burgæ quondam uxoris Willielmi Pantulf de Bredun”, by undated charter[61]. "William Pantulf of Samella, his wife Burga and his three sons William, Roger and Philip" donated "the land of Samella" to Saint-André de Gouffern by charter dated 1166, witnessed by "Willelmus Bastardus filius meus…"[62].

William [II] & his wife had three children: 1. WILLIAM [IV] Pantulf of Breedon-on-the-Hill, Leicestershire (before [1160]-). "William Pantulf of Samella, his wife Burga and his three sons William, Roger and Philip" donated "the land of Samella" to Saint-André de Gouffern by charter dated 1166, witnessed by "Willelmus Bastardus filius meus…"[63].

m JOAN de Goldington, daughter of PETER de Goldington & his wife [Eva ---]. Domesday Descendants names "Joan de Goldington", daughter of Peter de Goldington, as the wife of William Pantulf[64].

William [IV] & his wife had one child: a) ISOLDA Pantulf (-after 1267). "Isolda q fuit ux Walteri de Baskvill" paid a fine for "dote sua" in Leicestershire, dated 1213[65]. “Isolda Pantulf…in viduitate constitutam” confirmed donations to Langley Nunnery, Leicestershire made by “Willielmi Pantulf avi mei…Burgæ aviæ meæ” by charter dated "die Jovis prox. ante festum sanctæ Margaretæ post mortem Walteri de Baskervile domini mei, anno quo Ricardus de Marisco consecratus fuit in episcopum"[66]. "Isolda Biset" paid a fine for "villa de Magorham…Henr Biset quondam vir suus…habuit" in Wiltshire, dated 9 Dec 1213[67]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1222, by "Almaricus de S. Amando et Isolda uxor eius" against "Ricardum de Cahannes et Sarram uxorem eius" concerning "tercie partis ville de Kideministro…dotem eiusdem Isolde…ad warantum Johannem Biset fratrem et heredem Willelmi [error for Henrici] Bisset quondam viri eiusdem Isolde"[68]. The Complete Peerage states that her son and heir Robert de Tattershall undertook payment of her debts and orders were made in 1223 and 1228 which would normally connote her death, but that in 1267 she was still prosecuting her rights of dower against her grandson Robert de Tattershall[69].

Orderic Vitalis lists William Pantulf and his sons Roger and Rodbert as vassals of Roger de Montgommery in Shropshire in 1071. He also states that William, count Pantolf, donated the churches of Norun to S. Ebrulfo [Evroul] with the consent of Earl Roger, his lord, in 1073 with 40 marks to establish a priory at Noron.(1) The monks of St. Evroul contributed £16 towards a pilgrimage to the Shrine of St. Giles near Nîmes.(6) On 23 Oct. 1077 he was present with William the Conqueror at the consecration of the church at Bec. Oderic also states that William Pantolf and Rodbert, his son, went with Abbot Rodbert, brother of Hugh de Grentemesnil to Apulia in 1077 and that after his return was accused of involvement in the murder of countess Mabilia, wife of Roger de Montgommery, by Hugh d'Igé, knight, and had his lands confiscated by Earl Roger. William and his family took refuge with his family at the monastery of St. Evroult. William purged himself of Mabel's murder by the ordeal of fire, by carrying the hot iron. Such ordeals were designed to elicit the judgment of God. Folks of the time looked to the supernatural for proof of doubtful facts! William rewarded the monks of St. Evroul for their prayers and support with a present of four altar cloths produced by the silk looms of Apulia.(2) William made another voyage to Apulia after the death of William the Conqueror and upon his return donated the manor of Trotton, Sussex to the church of St. Peter.(3) In June 1092 he gave the relics of St. Nicholas to Noron. He made another donation to the church of St. Peter with the consent of his wife Lesceline and his three sons Philip, Ivo, and Arnulf in 1112 shortly before his death, granting 60 marks to the new church.(4) We have all this information on William and his family as he was a benefactor of the Abbey of St. Evroul of Uticum where Oderic Vitalis was a monk.

Priory of Saint-Pierre Chapel- Noron-l'Abbaye

In 1098 Robert de Belleme became Earl of Shrewsbury and deprived William of his lands. When the earl rebelled against Henry I in 1102 William offered him his services, however, he was refused and William entered the service of King Henry who put him in charge of Stafford Castle and its 200 soldiers. William negociated the surrender of Iorwerth ap Bleddyn and persuaded the garrison at Bridgnorth to surrender as well. For his services King Henry restored William's lands and gave him the fief of Roger de Courcelles.

From the Domesday survey: "The same William hold Weme [under the Earl Roger]: Wighe, Leuuius, Alveva, and Ælveva held it [in Saxon times] for four Manors, and were free. Here are IIII hides, geldable. There is [arable] land for VIII ox-teams. In demesne is one team; and there are II Serfs, IIII Villains, and VIII Boors with one team. Here is a Hawks-ærie, a Wood which will fatten 100 swine, and a Haye. In King Edward's time the Manor was worth 27s, [per annum]. Now it is worth 40s. He [William Pantulf] found it waste." (5)

Roger de Montgomery was granted the earldom of Shrewsbury before 1071 and William was one of the people entrusted with governing his western province. In Normandy, William's lands were mostly in Noron, a town west of Falaise.

Orderic Vitalis states that William made a donation to the church of St. Peter with the consent of his wife Lescelina and his three sons Philip, Ivo and Arnulf in 1112, commenting that his son Rodbert [Robert] inherited his father's lands in England. He also mentions that Philip, Robert, Ivo and Arnulf had not increased the donations of their parents since they died.(1) The Pipe Roll for 1130 records a plea of Hugh Malbanc concerning a feud between him and Robert Pantulf which was settled by trial by combat.(2)

Eyton in his Antiquities of Shropshire states that Ivo was the son of Robert, however, no primary source is given.(1) As his death was in 1175 he was not the same person as Robert's brother.

In 1130 Ivo witnessed a charter in which Nicholas, son of Robert de Stafford and Robert, his son and heir, donated the church of "Sancti Wlfadi de Stanis" [Stone, Staffordshire and land at Walton] to Kenilworth priory.(2)

There is a charter dated 4 Apr. 1266 of King Henry III recording donations to Cumbermere by Ivo and his son Brice.(3) Ivo also donated land of Hyde in Sheriff Hales, to Haughmond Abbey with the consent of William Fitz Alan by a charter c.1175 which was witnessed by Ives, the chaplain, his brother Alexander, Walter Meverello, and Ralph Diablo.(4)

The Pipe Rolls for 1175 lists William Purcel and Godfrey de Codewalton, vassals of Ivo Pantolf in Staffordshire as being fined 2 merks by the King for trespassing in the forest.(5)

In an undated charter Norman "Panton" [Pantolf] confirmed to Ralph de Tetesworth the rights granted by Alice de Verdon, his mother, with the consent of his brother William "Panton" in the town of Rudierd [Rudyard, Staffordshire]. This implies that Alice was the mother of these two sons and that the older sons were Ivo's by an earlier marriage.(6)

Hugh was Sheriff of Shropshire from 1179 until 1189. A charter from the end of Henry II's reign, c.1176, records the sale of the lands of Wogheresforlong and Dorfaut in the presence of Hugh Pantolf and his brothers Hamlin and Brice. Its later donation to Haughmond abbey and the subsequent dispute was witnessed by Hugh Pantolf, then viscount.(1)

Haughmond Abbey- 1786

In Jan. 1190 Hugh was at court with Richard the Lionhearted and apparently went with him to Palestine on the Crusade.(4) In 1194 he paid £3 for his lands in Shropshire and £2 for his Staffordshire lands for King Richard's ransom.(5) Hugh and Robert Corbet were sent on a mission by King John in Aug. 1204 to Gwenwynwyn ap Owain Cyfeiliog, Prince of Powys. Hugh was at King John's court in Nottingham in 1206 and is mentioned in regards to scutage in 1221. In 1202 King John granted a charter to the manor of Wem to hold a market on Sunday and on the Feast of St. Peter. Sunday markets were forbidden in 1351 and it was moved to Thursdays where it remains to this day.(6)

In 1197 is a charter recording an agreement between Herve Bagot and Thomas de Erdinton, releasing the latter from marrying his first born daughter Hawise, or another daughter of his or the third, with the consent of his wife Milisandre, witnessed by William, son of Alan, Hugh Pantolf, Robert Corbet, John "Extraneo" [a stranger], Radulf Basset and William Bagot.(2)

Hugh married Christiana, daughter of William FitzAlan. By a charter from 1170, King Henry II authorised the deduction from the FitzAlan estates of the revenue from the manor of Badminton "which the king had assigned as the marriage portion of William Fitz Alan's daughter". Hugh Pantolf then donated his rights in the church of Badminton to Lilleshall Abbey by a charter, c.1215 and then Hugh names his wife Christiana in a donation to Shrewsbury Abbey.(3)

Skrevet: 25 Jul 2007 18:43:58 Tittel: Pantulf chronology (or Lesceline: what's in a name?)

The recent thread examining Iseult Pantulf's various marriages has shown how little seems to be known about the chronology of the early Pantulf family.

According to Keats-Rohan (Domesday Descendants, p 1059), Iseult's grandfather, William Pantulf, was the son of Ivo Pantulf and Alice de Verdun; he married Burga de Stuteville, with whom he founded a nunnery at Langley, "circa 1150". His three legitimate sons, William, Roger and Philip, were apparently named in a charter of 1166, so were born before the latter date.

The entry for Ivo Pantulf states that he succeeded his father "before c1137/1138" and died in 1175. By his first marriage, he had Hugh, Hamelin and Brice, and by his second marriage (to Alice de Verdun) he had William and Norman.

Hugh was his father's heir, inheriting the family's estate at Wem. He is the subject of an ODNB article, which states he married Christiana Fitzalan in 1170, and died in 1224.

These latter two dates seem to cast a question mark over the activities of William, apparently his younger brother (in fact, two other brothers seem to be between them). If Hugh married in 1170 and died in 1224, is it likely that his younger brother should have been married and founding priories by circa 1150?

I am also intrigued by the fact that Ivo Pantulf's apparent paternal grandmother, the wife of the first William Pantulf, was named Lesceline (see ODNB article on William). So far as I know, Lesceline is a rather unusual name. Ivo's second wife, Alice de Verdon, was the daughter of Norman de Verdun, whose wife was Lesceline, the daughter of Geoffrey de Clinton by his wife Lesceline [DD, pp 402-3]. This is strongly suggestive of an earlier connection between the Clintons and the Pantulfs, and perhaps calls into further question the traditional

genealogy of the Pantulfs on consanguinity grounds.
