HS this is rather a book of the genealogies of the
most prominent of the English Barons who pro-
cured the great Charter of Liberty from King
John than an essay on the Magna Charta itself, it is deemed
only necessary to state briefly the popular grounds on which
the Magna Charta of King John, it seems most probable,
was demanded, and the apparent methods by which it was
finally gained and confirmed, and to give an idea of the
manner in which the Barons acted, according to the monk-
ish chroniclers of the time. Those who desire to go more
deeply into the history and trace the rise, fluctuating prog-
ress, and permanent conclusion of this great instrument can
find such information given with great minuteness in the
essays of Sir William Blackstone, Sir Edward Coke, John
Richard Green, Richard Thomson, William Chadwick, and
others, based on the meagre information given in Roger de
Wendover's ** Flowers of History," from which this outline
of the accepted facts and few details connected with the
Magna Charta has been rewritten, for it must occupy a his-
tory of no trivial extent to show all the circumstances and
events concerning it.
Historians, basing their knowledge or deductions on
the few prejudiced chroniclers of the Plantagenet period,
differ in the details of the century of great and minor
events leading up to and causing the final insurrection of
the Barons; but in the main they agree that these were
2 9
lO THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
efforts to give the Anglo-Norman, or English nation, a cer-
tain constitution. Therefore, the uprising of the Barons
in 1 2 14-15 maybe termed the culmination of desire for a
tangible form of government The spirit of enlightenment
was upon them, and their eyes were wide open to the abuse
of kingly power, and the outcome was the Magna Charta,
the first great public act of the English nation after it real-
ized its own identity.
In the century since the conquest of England the de-
scendants of the conquerors had learned that the laws of the
conquered, instituted by equity, had been supplanted by
only the old-time arbitrary will of the Norman kings, and,
although they had never enjoyed the blessings of a constitu-
tional monarchy, they had, by association with those who in
a measure had, come to see their virtues, or, at least, those
of the code of Saxon laws, as formed by the Confessor.
Therefore, from the conquest of England there had been a
struggle between those who sought to enforce the feudal ex-
actions which the Normans had learned and been accus-
tomed to in France, and those who attempted to resist the
innovations and to hold to old Saxon customs. At first it
was a contest between the monarch, with his Norman fol-
lowing on one side, and the Saxon population, the con-
quered race, on the other. But when the leading Norman
Barons had been won over to the Saxon ideas, to gain the
restoration or adoption of these statutes became the en-
deavor of these Anglo-Norman peers. Each sovereign,
from William the Conqueror to Richard the Lion-Hearted,
had been earnestly entreated to grant their renewal ; but if
promises were made, they were evaded. Only once did a
sovereign, Henry I., the lawyer, in 11 00, concede a limited
charter for rectifying the most glaring abuses transplanted
into England, but it was never enforced and was soon for-
gotten.
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA II
The ascent of John to the throne on Ascension Day, in
1 1 99, was apparently pleasing to the majority of the Eng-
lish Barons and the people generally, as his succession
sprang out of a national choice as well as regal inheritance,
but it was claimed he was handicapped from the start by a
few discontented ecclesiastics, who were sufficiently influen-
tial to make his reign an exceedingly troublesome one to
the end. In his coronation oath John swore that, bad laws
being destroyed, he would substitute good ones, and exer-
cise true justice in the kingdom of England. Therefore,
early in his troublous reign, the propriety of a grant of
fixed laws was the question of the day, and was championed
by Robert Fitz-Walter, Saher de Quincey, and Eustace de
Vesci, and these, on the part of the other Barons, kept at
the king, persistently requesting him to give it. Therefore,
to conciliate them, and to gain, if possible, a cessation, or
at least a respite, from their importunities, John, like his
predecessors, promised a restoration of those liberties the
Barons, and very probably " the people," though they had
no voice in the matter, so earnestly desired, — a confirmation
of the charter of rights and liberties granted by his great-
grandfather, Henry L, and the renewal or adoption of the
Anglo-Saxon code.
This promise, made at the beginning of the new reign,
gave the Barons some hope for their performance. But the
Barons were in error in their judgment, for, seen in the
light of subsequent events, John, probably naturally selfish,
was particularly jealous and solicitous of his royal prerog-
atives, which he was certain would be curtailed by the arti-
cles of the proposed charter.
In the first years of his reign, John was so unfortunate as
to lose his great Duchy of Normandy to Philip of France,
and, while but few of the English Barons had holdings at
the time in that country, consequently the pride of the
12 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
nation was offended, so that the dissatisfaction with their
king suddenly became general among his subjects. What-
ever unpleasant opinions we may form of John's private
character and public actions, based upon sketches of him
which have been transmitted to us by the monks of his day,
we must admit that he was attentive to the work of admin-
istration, quick to discern the difficulties of his position, and
inexhaustible in the resources with which he met them, and
the charge of incapacity against him cannot be sustained.
Upon his return to England after the loss of Normandy,
in 1204, John's whole energies were bent to recover his lost
dominions ; but at the very outset he discovered the spirit
of national freedom which had sprung up in England during
his absence, and his project was thwarted by his chief coun-
cillors, Primate Hubert Walter representing the Church and
William Marshall, Sr., the peerage. John at once braced
himself to a struggle which he felt was coming. An unex-
pected chance to strengthen his position came with the
sudden death of the primate. He brought about the elec-
tion, to fill the vacancy, of one whom he could deal with and
trust, but an opposition candidate had been defeated, and,
as the election had to be ratified by the Pope, both claimants
appealed to Rome, and the Pope quashed both elections
and commanded the English monks to elect Cardinal
Stephen Langton, then a stranger to England, to the archi-
episcopal see of Canterbury and Primate of England, which
was done. The decision was a startling one to King John,
for it revealed the Pope's power and ambitions. It was at
once a usurpation of the rights of the Church and of the
crown. John immediately protested and then resisted, but
Langton was consecrated primate in June, 1207, by the
Pope, who threatened the realm with interdict if the cardi-
nal was excluded from his see, as John had refused to rec-
ognize him. But the Pope found John hard to control. He
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 1 3
replied by a counter-threat that the interdict would be fol-
lowed by the banishment of the clergy. Pope Innocent
considered himself and his high office insulted, and, as he
was not a man to draw back from his purpose, the interdict
he had threatened fell upon England in March, 1 207-8. To
John's impiety and rebellion against the authority of the
Church can be attributed the picture of his shameless char-
acter and wickedness drawn by the priests, the only ''his-
torians" of those days whose works have come down to us,
and who were the only ** authorities" followed by modern
biographers until the recent printing of the national records
of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries made them gen-
erally accessible, and many of the important statements of
the monks regarding King John were refuted by his official
records.
After a year, John giving no sign of yielding to his
authority, the Pope excommunicated him personally, but
this only increased his opposition and defiance, and the re-
sult was that the Church changed its attitude and became
the ally of the Barons in their struggle for betterment of
the laws and the curtailment of the powers of the king, for
the acts of Rome after the confirmation of the Magna
Charta show clearly that Pope Innocent III. was in fact
never very hostile to English freedom. Here we get the
best impression of the king. He stood alone, with his
nobles estranged from him and the Church against him.
His strength seemed utterly unbroken. He was uncon-
quered, standing at bay, defiant alike to his Barons as to
the Church. So years passed by and John was as unyield-
ing and as unmindful of his promise, virtually to curtail his
own authority, as had been any Norman predecessor on
the English throne, and instead greatly increased the royal
levies and other burdens.
The Barons began to lose patience with him and then to
14 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
devise ways to force him to keep his promise. They sys-
tematized their procedure, and, by the spring of the year
1 2 1 3, they had become so organized and powerful that the
king was almost alone in his glory and almost powerless,
but still obstinate, and was driven to desperation, as a war
was pending between England and France. At this junc-
ture, when he summoned the Barons to his aid, at mid-Lent,
1 2 1 3, they refused to attend him to defend the kingdom, —
first, because he had not kept his promise to them in regard
to the Charter, and, secondly, because he was an excom-
municated man and his kingdom was still under the papal
interdict for having banished his ecclesiastics, — Cardinal
Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, and his
monks, — who failed to respond to his will in 1 207.
Upon this John made what has been termed by some a
bold and statesman-like move, but others claim it was the
Pope's doing, for, as spiritual head of Christendom, he could
remove an excommunicated ruler from his throne who, by
the law of the Church, had ceased to be a Christian, and
take crown to himself, or confer it on one of his selection.
However, the facts are, John recalled his banished prelates
and Barons, and petitioned the Pope to remove his excom-
munication and the interdict he had brought upon his king-
dom ; the price of this being that he assign, grant, and con-
vey his entire kingdom and revenues to the Pope, and to
receive back and hold his inheritance as ** vicegerent," or
tenant-in-chief of the realm, under the Church of Rome, at
a nominal annual rental of seven hundred marks for Eng-
land and three hundred marks for Ireland. This bargain
being concluded, the transfer of the crown of England was
made by contract, dated May 13, 12 13.*
* Because of this particular transaction between King John and Pope Inno-
cent III., it is argued that John then became only a tenant-in-chief or free-
holder — a vassal— of the Church of Rome, and paid rent to it for his tenement,
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 1 5
By this transaction, a political measure, the success of
which was immediate and complete, John protected his
kingdom from French invasion, as it was then "Church
property," and the faithful were strictly forbidden to tres-
pass, — a scheme of defence which was pursued by England
for one hundred and fifty years. But the interdict was not
removed until June 29, 1214, by solemn ceremony at the
cathedral church of St. Paul, London, it having remained as
a security for John's fulfilling the terms of his agreement
with the Pope, and John was not formally absolved from his
excommunication until at Winchester, July 16, 12 14. Upon
this occasion he took a solemn oath, before Cardinal Lang-
ton, that the good laws of his ancestors, and especially those
of Edward the Confessor, should be recalled and the evil
ones destroyed, and that his subjects should receive justice,
according to the upright decrees of his court, before the
coming Easter.
Thus was John freed from excommunication and the in-
terdict tardily removed ; but, as he had sworn " that all cor-
porations and private persons whom the interdict had dam-
aged should receive full restitution of all which had been
taken away," this delay was only disagreeable. But with
freedom from ecclesiastic outlawry vanished all of John's
promises, and he supposed that his Barons would not renew
the struggle for the liberties of the Magna Charta. This
hope was futile.
The Barons finding that, while the country was then in a
England, and that all his landowning or landholding subjects, Earls and Barons
included, were only undertenants or copy-holders, according to feudal laws,
and that this fact broke the letters-patent of the nobility, and consequently the
baronage ceased to be peers of the realm when John transferred his crown to
the Pope. And, further, that since Barons were only, in feudal law, copy-
holders, they had no right to legislate at Runnemede or elsewhere, and conse-
quently the Magna Charta granted by King John was invalid in title and
worthless as a legal document.
l6 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
comparatively prosperous state, abuses and excessive taxes
were unabated. Secret meetings were held throughout Eng-
land by the Barons and their following, and their grievances
made common property, and all united in a firm determina-
tion not to give the king a single man for another proposed
invasion of France and an effort to recover Normandy. At
this time the strongest opposition to John's martial plans
was among his northern Barons. The great houses of de
Lacie, de Vesci, de Percy, de Ros, and others, were thor-
oughly English, and had no interest, excepting by tradition,
in Normandy, and took a most decided attitude of opposition
to his schemes. Furious at this revolt, John was preparing
to march the royal army against the northern Barons, when
he was dissuaded from this revengeful determination by his
Justiciary, John Fitz-Geoffrey, who was secretly friendly to
the Barons' cause, aided by the primate, Stephen Langton,
also in sympathy with the Barons, who counselled the king
to compel the northern Barons to obey him by process of
law.
By this time the Barons saw clearly that John was only
temporizing with them in the matter of the Charter, so a
general assembly of the peers and ecclesiastics was con-
vened at St Paul's Church, London, on August 25, 1214,
when Archbishop Langton presided and addressed them,
bringing to mind the oath made by the king on the occasion
of the removal of his excommunication, and then presented
to the convention an original copy of the Charter granted
by Henry I., which he asked them to support and accept as
a base for needed reforms, that the long-lost liberties of
England might be restored. This copy of the instrument
was addressed by King Henry "to Hugh de Boclande,
Justiciary of England, and all his faithful subjects, as well
French as English, in Hertfordshire, greeting," and was
witnessed by ** Maurice, Bishop of London, William, Bishop-
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA IJ
elect of Winchester, Gerard of Hereford, Earl Henry, Earl
Simon, Earl Walter Gifford, Robert de Montfort, Roger
Bigod, and many others." The contents of this instrument,
which had not only never been enforced, but of which all
trace had been lost, was, after some changes, acceptable and
incorporated in the draft of the Magna Charta. The as-
sembly of Barons then took solemn oath in a body to de-
fend their liberties with their lives, all feeling that the cov-
enant then made would eternally reflect honor on their
names.
This was the conclusion of the first formal meeting of
the Barons for securing, by force if necessary, the king's
consent to the Magna Charta. From that moment die
baronage was no longer drawn together in secret conspira-
cies by a sense of common wrong, or a vague longing for
common deliverance ; they had openly united in a definite
claim of national freedom and national law. But many were
the difficulties they had to encounter before such a conclu-
sion of their efforts was reached, and the liberties of Magna
Charta formed the only ostensible motive under which they
continued to act together.
The report of this meeting was taken by Langton to the
king, then with his army at Northampton, and it was then
that he and the justiciary persuaded the king to go to law
rather than war with the northern Barons. John now be-
came much alarmed and applied to the Pope, as a tributary,
for aid. This gave His Holiness an opportunity he desired.
He sent his legate at once to fully secure the Church's sov-
ereignty in England by receiving an additional act of sub-
mission from John. All the legate's demands were con-
ceded, but he declined to interfere with the Barons, though
John so requested him. This was, in fact, a second resig-
nation of the crown by John to the Pope, and, in behalf of
the Barons, Archbishop Langton entered a protest against
1 8 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
the proceeding. Spiritual aid was all the benefit John de-
rived from Rome, and excommunications were showered
on the Barons and ecclesiastics of England, who were in
opposition to the king and, therefore, to the Pope.
The year 1214 continued to pass away without any ap-
pearance of the liberties of the Magna Charta being insti-
tuted or the old laws being recalled. John's object in
meeting the Barons' claim by delay appears to have been
the hope that a victory over the French, as at this juncture
he had again carried war into their land, would turn their
minds to foreign from domestic affairs ; but again he was
defeated and his return forced on the crisis to which events
had so long been drifting, for this last defeat gave strength to
the opposition party at home, and the open resistance of the
northern Barons encouraged the others. So on November
20, 1 2 14, a second convention of the Barons and prelates
was called to take place in the abbey church of Bury St.
Edmunds, in County Suffolk, the object of which was to
take into consideration the most effective methods for
obtaining their demands and for compelling John to keep
his promise.
Archbishop Langton again presided. He read again the
Charter of Henry I., and also a rough draft of the Charter
desired, and, after some amendments, it was agreed to, the
proceedings being very formal. Before adjournment the
Barons confessed themselves annoyed and irritated in the
extreme by the procrastinations of the king, and called on
the presiding prelate to witness their solemn oath, which was
in effect that the king should immediately grant and confirm
the laws and liberties they desired by a charter under his
seal, or that they would withdraw themselves from his
fealty until they should gain the satisfaction they desired.
At length it was agreed that after the ensuing Christmas,
in 1 2 1 4, they should go to the king in a body to demand the
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 1 9
confirmation of their liberties, and that in the mean time
they should provide themselves with horses and arms, so
that if the king should endeavor to depart from his oath,
put them off again with promises, or refuse their requests
altogether, they would instantly, by capturing his castles,
compel him to satisfy their demands. Then the Barons
returned to their respective homes.
This engagement was kept, and January 6, 12 14-15, a
large delegation of the Barons appeared, fully mailed and
armed, before the king at the New Temple, in London, and
in distinct and resolute terms made known the wishes of
the peers, and demanded the confirmation of the liberties
and laws of King Edward and of Henry I. John was much
concerned with their impetuosity and surprised at their
military array.
But all the Barons could get out of the king was that, as
it was a great and difficult thing which they asked, he must
have a respite until the end of or after Easter, April 19,
1 21 5, for its consideration, and then, if it were in his opinion
proper, they should receive full satisfaction, as he had
promised in his oath of July 1 6 previous. This was an old
story to the Barons, and the most impetuous were for keep-
ing their oath made at St. Edmund's Bury; but, on the
matter being canvassed, it was decided to give the king his
wish, but to demand sureties for his promises. So John
nominated Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishop of Ely, and William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, who
were accepted, when these Barons returned to their homes.
Here, then, at last, was a certain day assigned, when all
hoped the civil contentions between the king and his sub-
jects would finally terminate. But John, during the period
yet allowed him, endeavored by various means to fortify
himself against the conclusion, so long procrastinated. To
circumvent the Barons, he caused the oath of allegiance to
20 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
be again administered to all his subjects and the nobles to
renew homage to him, assumed the cross in order to secure
personal shelter under ecclesiastic protection, and yielded
to the English prelates alone some of the liberties they con-
tended for.
Notwithstanding all these precautions, the king did not
strengthen his position. Easter, April 19, arrived, and, ac-
cording to their promise, — they always fulfilled their prom-
ises to John, — the Barons assembled with a large, well-
equipped army, in which there were upward of two thousand
knights, at the town of Stamford, in Lincolnshire, Easter
week, to receive the ratification of John's promises. The
king was, however, they learned, awaiting their coming at
Oxford; therefore, on Monday, April 27, the Barons
marched and encamped at Brockley, in Northamptonshire,
about fifteen miles from Oxford. Upon receiving a report
of their numbers and situation, the king thought it best for
him not to attend in person any conference with them, but
deputed William Marshall, Sr., Earl of Pembroke, and the
Archbishop of Canterbury, two of his sureties, to go to
them in his behalf and to demand a further description of
those laws and liberties which the Barons demanded, al-
though he had repeatedly been informed of them.
However, a schedule of the desired Charter was delivered
to the royal messengers, who were really their friends at
court, with the positive assurances that if the king still re-
fused to confirm it, under his seal, the Barons were resolved
at once to break through all the ties which had hitherto
withheld them, and force his lingering consent by seizing
upon his fortresses. John, upon receiving this reply, was
much agitated, and declared that it was the Barons' wish to
deprive him of his kingdom, but that his consent should
never be yielded to liberties which would involve his pre-
rogative in slavery.
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 2i
The Barons were well aware, by such a reply, which the
royal messengers brought to them, that time would effect
but little in their behalf, and that force alone could prosper
their faltering cause. Accordingly they prepared to execute
those resolutions which their message to the king had al-
ready premised. In pursuance of their intentions they con-
sulted together and unanimously elected Robert Fitz-Walter,
one of their number, their leader or general, under the title
of " Marshal of God and the Holy Church."
Without any declaration of war or further warning, the
Barons proceeded to carry their threat into execution. On
May 5 they solemnly threw off their allegiance at Walling-
ford. Their first aggressive move was to lay siege to the
casde of Northampton. Here, however, meeting with no
success after fifteen days' siege, as they had not prepared
battering-engines, the baronial army, after the loss of the
standard-bearer of Robert Fitz-Walter by a shot, withdrew
to Bedford, where the castle, on demand, was yielded to
them by William de Beauchamp, its owner.
Whilst the Barons were thus openly proceeding, a secret
plan of operations was also carrying on with the principal
citizens of London, including the mayor, who had agreed to
deliver up to them one of the gates of the city. Accord-
ingly, by forced marches in the night, going through Ware,
in Hertfordshire, the Barons arrived at London at day-
break, Sunday, May 24, and entered the city at Aldgate,
without any tumult, whilst the inhabitants were at church.
The Barons, having thus got into the city, placed their own
guards in charge of each of the gates, and then arranged all
matters in the city at will, for the rich citizens were favorable
to them and the poor ones were afraid to murmur against
them, and took security from the citizens.
Exeter and Lincoln followed the lead of London and sur-
rendered to detachments of the baronial army ; promises of
22 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
aid came from Scotland and Wales, and the northern Barons
marched hastily, under the leadership of Eustace de Vesci,
to join the others in the capital.
King John at the time of the capture of London by the
Barons was at Windsor, near the city, and was wholly igno-
rant, it is presumed, of this hostile move of the Barons and
of their intention to besiege his strongest fortress, the Tower
of London. It appears from his Itinerary, made up from
his dated official documents, that John continued at Windsor
till June 3, and then went to Odiham, and was at Winchester
until the 8th, and from there went to Merton, in Surrey, and
was back again at Odiham on the 9th, whence he returned
to Windsor, where he had his head-quarters during the
meetings with the Barons at Runnemede until June 26,
when he went to Winchester, where he remained until July.
The advantages the Barons had now gained were made
use of by them to gather to themselves as many as possi-
ble of the Barons who had retained their allegiance to the
king, and those others who had up to this remained neutral.
So, while preparations for the siege of the Tower were being
made, circular letters were sent to the nearest, demanding
their assistance in the interests of the Magna Charta, and
assuring them of the heaviest vengeance on their estates
and castles if they refused. The result was that the neutral
peers, with their armed followers, joined the baronial army,
and some of John's friends left his cause, deeming it
hopeless.
John's situation was now trying in the extreme. Virtu-
ally powerless, with nearly his whole baronage and subjects
of all degrees in arms against him, the pleas of the ex-
chequer and of the sheriff's courts stopped through the
realm because there was no one to make a valuation for the
king, he surrendered almost without striking a blow in de-
fence. He sent from Winchester, on June 7, William Mar-
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 23
shall, Earl of Pembroke, as a royal messenger to the Barons
in the city to declare his readiness to accede to their de-
mands, and expressed his willingness that an early period
be assigned for the conclusion and ratification of the Magna
Charta. The Barons returned for answer, by the Earl of
Pembroke, that they would wait upon him with the Charter
on Tuesday, June 9, outside of the city, on what was known
as Council Meadow, or Runnemede, on the bank of the river
Thames. John issued his writ of safe-conduct to the Barons,
dated June 8, at Merton, and they at once withdrew their
army from the city and encamped upon this meadow to
await him. But that night John sent a messenger deferring
the meeting till the Monday following. So the Barons again
had to await his pleasure.
On Trinity Monday, June 15 (O.S.), King John came out
from the city, attended by Langton and Marshall and a few
supporters, and occupied the royal tent on Runnemede.
He was astonished at the baronial array, and saw it would
be folly to retract or temporize again. The chief Barons
went into the royal tent. Preliminaries having been ar-
ranged and carried out, ceremony was dispensed with and
the business was quickly and firmly arranged. The en-
grossed copy of the Magna Charta was read over by the
Earl of Pembroke to the king and compared with the
schedule and articles already submitted to John, and spread
before him for his final act. There was almost breathless
silence in the royal tent and in the great multitude without
whilst the king confirmed the Magna Charta by a solemn
oath and placed his seal to the precious instrument, June 15,
121 5, in the seventeenth year of his reign, and then was
heard, even to London, a great shout of victory.
The original schedule of the principal liberties contained
in the Magna Charta, preparatory to the final setdement of
the more perfect instrument, was also sealed in a manner
24 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
similar to the charter itself. The original Magna Charta
was copied and the Great Seal of England, or the king's
seal, attached to it and sent to all the cathedrals in the king-
dom.
King John now left the Barons' camp and returned to
Windsor, while the Barons proceeded to the election of
twenty-five of their number whose duty it should be to
enforce the observance of all which the Magna Charta con-
tained. Those who were intrusted with this authority were
certainly some of the most celebrated men of their time,
both with regard to descent, to valor, and to intellectual en-
dowments.
The next day it had been the intention of the Barons
to break camp and return home, but some one raised the
question of security. It was true, he said, that they had
got the Charter from John, but what real and substantial
security for his performance of the articles of the Charter
had they ? Therefore a covenant was drawn up giving the
Barons custody of the city and Tower of London till Au-
gust 15 ensuing, and afterwards until the Charter should be
carried into execution, and the king was sent for and again
came to Runnemede and complied with the request of the
Barons and sealed and delivered the Covenant on June
19, four days after the confirming of the Magna Charta.
On this day John also delivered to the twenty-five sureties
their writs, or letters of election, as they were called, ad-
dressed by the king to the sheriffs, etc., in the various
counties of England. These gave the status of the sure-
ties, indicated their authority, and provided for the election
of twelve knights of the shire in each county who should
have power to rectify the laws and customs of their re-
spective counties and be responsible to the surety under
whose care the county was.
Before disbanding the major part of their army, the
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 25
Barons resolved to have a tournament in celebration of
their victory. But evidently this carried with it some risk,
as Robert Fitz- Walter issued an order to William d'Albini,
commander in the city of London, to be very vigilant to
keep possession of the city, as he had heard of an effort in-
tended to be made to take possession of it for the king.
On taking this precaution, Fitz-Walter issued an invitation
to all his companions, saying, " We enjoin and earnestly be-
seech you to come to the tournament [June 29] near Lon-
don, in Staines' Wood, and at the town of Hounslow, well
provided with horses and arms, that you may there obtain
honor. Whoever performs well there will receive a bear,
which a lady will send to the tournament. Farewell."
Holinshead states: "Great reiosing was made for this
conclusion of peace betwixt the kinge and his Barons, the
people iudging that God had toutched the king's heart and
mollified it, wherby happie daies were come for the relame
of England, as though it had beene deliuered out of bond-
age of Aegypt, but were much deceiued, for the kinge
hauing condescended to make such grant of liberties, farre
contrarie to his mind, was right sorrowfuU in his hearte."
The final acts immediately connected with the Runnemede
proceedings were John's writs dated at Runnemede, June
23, dismissing his foreign troops, and one dated Winches-
ter, June 27, for causing all persons to swear obedience to
the twenty-five sureties.
The Barons were still suspicious of John, and, although
they held London, they thought it advisable to secure Roch-
ester Casde, and sent William d'Albini to take possession
of it as a garrison. But as this was a matter outside of his
agreement with the Barons, John sent his royal troops to
retake it, which they did only after a siege of three months,
starving the garrison into capitulating, and d'Albini was im-
prisoned in Corfe Casde. Why the Barons did not go
3
26 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
from London to the aid of d'Albini is one of the mysteries
of the foggy historical atmosphere of these times.
After the final adjournment of the Barons, John did all that
he could to make the Charter a dead-letter. He prevailed on
the Pope to annul the Magna Charta and to suspend Langton
by bull dated September 24, and to excommunicate thirty-
one of the Barons therein named, which bull was dated De-
cember 16, 1215. The excommunicated were: "Those cit-
izens of London who have been the chief promoters of the
aforesaid crime and Robert Fitz-Walter, Saher, Earl of
Winchester, R[obert] de Quincey, his son, G[eoffrey] de
Mandeville, and William his brother, Robert [sic], Earl of
Clare, and Gplbert], his son, H[umphrey], Earl of Hereford,
R[ichard] de Percy, Eustace de Vesci, John [de Lacie], Con-
stable of Chester, William de Mowbray, William d'Albini,
WpUiam], his son, R[obert] de Ros, and William, his son,
P[eter] de Brus, R[oger] de Cressy, John, his son, Ralph
Fitz-Robert, R[oger], Earl Bigod, H[ugh], his son, Robert
de Vere, Fulk Fitz- Warren, W[illiam] Malet, W[illiam] de
Montacute, WpUiam] Fitz-Marshall, William de Beau champ,
S[imon] deKime, R[oger] de Mont Begon,and Nicholas de
Stuteville, and also several others expressed in the decree
by name as guilty."
John also again imported hired continental soldiers and
committed disgraceful devastations on the Barons' English
estates, and, to revenge and protect themselves, the Barons
offered the crown of England to the Dauphin of France
(subsequently King Louis VIII.), upon condition of his sup-
plying them with an army to defeat John and his hirelings.
In spite of papal wrath, the Dauphin landed with an army
in England, May 21, 12 16, entered London, and was con-
ducted by the Barons to St. Paul's, where he received their
homage and took an oath to govern them in the manner
they desired. The baronial cause was now attended with
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 27
rapid success, whilst that of John declined in proportion. It
seemed as if all England, and even Scotland, declared in
favor of Louis and the Barons. His few loyal Barons de-
serted John to Louis, and his foreign troops left him and
returned home. John, after this, was unfortunate in the
field, and died, after a few days' illness, at Newark Castle,
October 19, 1 2 1 6, in the forty-ninth year of his age, and his
body was deposited in Worcester Cathedral.
In a week, on October 27, a few days after John's body
had been deposited in the cathedral with befitting cere-
monies, the ecclesiastics and Barons friendly to the de-
ceased king were again convened here by the Pope's
legate, and arranged for the coronation of John's suc-
cessor, his eldest son, Henry, then only ten years old. On
the following morning the lad was crowned in this cathedral,
and after this function, William Marshall, Sr., Earl of Pem-
broke, was appointed Protector of the realm during the
nonage of the young king.
Almost immediately the Protector proceeded to attempt
to rid the country of the cause for a divided baronage and
to win the dissatisfied back to their allegiance. He re-
cruited the royal army, and called upon all Englishmen to
join the royal standard in a campaign against the French,
who had gained a foothold in England. Some of the sure-
ties for the Magna Charta — conspicuously William de For-
tibus, William d'Albini, William Marshall, Jr., Roger de
Montbegon, Richard de Percy, and Robert de Ros — joined
the royal standard again, but the majority still remained
loyal to the cause of the Charta (de Mandeville, de Vesci,
and Roger de Mowbray were dead, and de Laci was in the
Holy Land), as, as yet, no assurance had been given that
it would be confirmed by the new king. In the spring the
Protector started out to hunt up the Dauphin's army, and
eventually chased it into the city of Lincoln, which he gal-
28 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
lantly took by storm, killing the French commander, the
Count de Perche, and completely annihilating his army, on
May 19, 12 1 7, when the sureties Saher de Quincey, Henry
de Bohun, Robert Fitz-Walter, Richard de Montfichet, Wil-
liam de Mowbray, and Gilbert de Clare were taken pris-
oners. Immediately afterwards the Protector took posses-
sion of London, when terms were agreed upon allowing the
Dauphin to take his soldiers honorably to France, and rati-
fied on Runnemede meadow. Subsequently the Magna
Charta, with amendments, was confirmed by the king and a
general amnesty extended to all who had been in arms in its
interest.
This is the story briefly told of the Magna Charta of
King John up to the time of Henry III. A great many of
its stipulations refer to feudal exactions, now so long obso-
lete that the restraints on them cease to be intelligible and
not particularly interesting to non-professional readers ; but
its stipulations on the supremacy of fixed principles of the
law over the will and power of a monarch and its establish-
ment of a common law, with trial by jury, has endeared it
to multitudes of English-speaking people. Sir Edward Coke
writing of it: "As the gold-finer will not out of the dust,
threads, or shreds of gold let pass the least crum, in re-
spect of the excellence of the metal, so ought not the learned
reader to let pass any syllable of This Law in respect of the
excellence of the matter." King John's Great Charter has
the most conspicuous place in the history of all English
charters, not only from its comparative completeness and
that it was exacted by his Barons in arms, and was not,
therefore, a concession carelessly conceded and readily for-
gotten, but because this is the only charter which provided
securities for its observance. In all subsequent charters
and grants there was no clause similar to Section 69, the
omission probably being occasioned by a conviction that the
THE STORY OF THE MAGNA CHARTA 29
provision was derogatory to the rights of the crown. How-
ever, the circumstances under which this Charter was forced
from the king, and the uncertainty of John's promises, prob-
ably justified the appointment of overseers, especially, too,
as this was to be a general change of old customs all over
England.
The clause in the Charter stating that if the complaints
of the Barons were not redressed within forty days after
they had petitioned the king, it should become their duty to
levy war upon him, aided by the whole nation, was, in the
opinion of nearly all critics of the Magna Charta of King
John, most crafty and unlawful, and amounted to a permis-
sion to commit a species of high treason under the pre-
tence of reforming the laws, so it was omitted in succeeding
charters from its positive illegality. After the king had left
Runnemede he renewed this command, adding that those
who were unwilling to swear allegiance and assist the
Barons against the king would be compelled, by his com-
mand, to do so ! This command was given in a formal writ,
dated at Winchester, June 27, 121 5.

set, Philip de Albiniac, Robert de Roppel, John Mareschal,
John Fitz-Hugh, and others, our liegemen, have in the first
place granted to GOD, and by this our present Charter,
have confirmed, for us and our heirs forever :
That the English Church shall be free and shall have her
whole rights and liberties inviolable ; and we will this to be
observed in such manner, that it may appear from thence,
that the freedom of elections, which is reputed most requisite
to the English Church, which we granted, and by our Char-
ter confirmed, and obtained the Confirmation of the same,
from our Lord, Pope Innocent the Third, before the rupture
between us and our Barons, was of our own free will ; which
Charter we shall observe, and we will it to be observed with
good faith, by our heirs for ever.
We have also granted to all the Freemen of our Kingdom,
for us and our heirs for ever, all the underwritten Liberties,
to be enjoyed and held by them, and by their heirs, from us
and from our heirs :
I. If any of our Earls or Barons, or others who hold of
us in chief by military service, shall die, and at his death his
heir shall be of full age, and shall owe a relief, he shall have
his inheritance by the ancient relief; that is to say: the heir
or heirs of an Earl, a whole Earl's Barony, for one hundred
pounds ; the heir or heirs of a Baron, for a whole Barony,
by one hundred pounds ; the heir or heirs of a Knight, for a
whole Knight's Fee, by one hundred shillings at most ; and
he who owes less, shall give less, according to the ancient
custom of fees.
But if the heir of any such be under age, and in ward-
ship, when he comes to age he shall have his inheritance
without relief and without fine.
The warden of the land of such heir, who shall be under
age, shall not take from the lands of the heir any but reason-
able issues, and reasonable customs, and reasonable services,
32 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
and that without destruction and waste of the men or
goods.
And if we commit the custody of any such lands to a
Sheriff, or any other person who is bound to us for the issues
of them, and he shall make destruction or waste upon the
ward-lands, we will recover damages for him, and the lands
shall be committed to two lawful and discreete men of that
fee, who shall answer for the issues to us, or to him to whom
we have assigned them.
And if we shall give or sell to any one the custody on
any such lands, and he shall make destruction or waste upon
them, he shall lose the custody, and it shall be committed to
two lawful and discreete men of that fee, who shall answer to
us in like manner as it is said before.
But the warden, as long as he hath the custody of the
lands, shall keep up and maintain the houses, parks, war-
rens, ponds, mills, and other things belonging to them, out
of their issues, and shall restore to the heir, when he comes
of full age, his whole estate, provided with ploughs and other
implements of husbandry, according as the time of Wainage
shall require, and the issues of the lands can reasonably
afford.
Heirs shall be married without disparagement, so that
before the marriage be contracted, it shall be notified to the
relations of the heir by consanguinity.
II. A widow, after the death of her husband, shall imme-
diately, and without difficulty, have her marriage and her in-
heritance ; nor shall she give any thing for her dower, or for
her marriage, or for her inheritance, which her husband and
she held at the day of his death ; and she may remain in
her husband's house forty days after his death, within which
time her dower shall be assigned.
No widow shall be distrained to marry herself while she
is willing to live without a husband ; but yet she shall give
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 33
security that she will not marry herself without our consent,
if she hold of us, or without the consent of the lor*d of whom
she does hold, if she hold of another.
III. Neither we, nor our Bailiffs, will seize any lands, or rent,
for any debt, while the chattels of the debtor are sufficient
for the payment of the debt ; nor shall the sureties of the
debtor be distrained, while the principal debtor is able to pay
the debt And if the principal debtor fail in payment of the
debt, not having wherewith to discharge it, the sureties shall
answer for the debt ; and if they be willing, they shall have
the lands and rents of the debtor, until satisfaction be made
to them for the debt which they had before paid for him
unless the principal debtor can show himself acquited
thereof against the said sureties.
IV. If any one hath borrowed any thing from the Jews,
more or less, and die before that debt be paid, the debt
shall pay no interest so long as the heir shall be under age,
of whomsoever he may hold ; and if that debt shall fall into
our hands, we will not take any thing except the chattel con-
tained in the bond.
And if any one shall die indebted to the Jews, his wife
shall have her dower and shall pay nothing of that debt ; and
if children of the deceased shall remain who are under age,
necessaries shall be provided for them, according to the
tenement which belongs to the deceased ; and out of the
residue the debt shall be paid, saving the rights of the lords
{of wham the lands are held\ In like manner let it be with
debts owing others than Jews.
V. No scutage, nor aid shall be imposed in our kingdom,
unless by common council of our kingdom ; excepting to re-
deem our person ; to make our eldest son a knight, and to
marry our eldest daughter once ; and not for these [causes']
unless a reasonable aid shall be demanded. In like manner
let it be concerning the aids of the City of London.
34 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
The City of London shall have its ancient liberties, and
its free customs, as well by land as by water. Furthermore
we will and grant that all other Cities, and Burghs, and
Towns, and Ports shall have their liberties and free cus-
toms. And also to have the common council of the king-
dom, to assess and aid, otherwise than in the three cases
aforesaid.
For the assessing of scutages, we will cause to be sum-
moned the Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Earls, and great
Barons, individually, by our letters. And besides, we will
cause to be summoned, in general, by our Sheriffs and
Bailiffs, all those who hold of us in chief, at a certain day,
that is to say, at a distance of forty days [before their meet-
tng\ at the least, and to a certain place ; and in all the
letters of summons we will express the cause of the sum-
mons. And the summons being thus made, the business
shall proceed on the day appointed, according to the counsel
of those who shall be present, although all who had been
summoned have not come.
We will not give leave to any one, for the future, to take
an aid of his own free-men, except for redeeming his own
body, and for making his eldest son a knight, and for mar-
rying once his eldest daughter, and not that unless it be a
reasonable aid.
VI. No one shall be distrained to do more service for a
Knight's Fee, nor for any other free tenement, than what is
due from thence.
VII. Common Pleas shall not follow our court, but shall
be held in some certain place.
Trials upon writs of Novel Disseisin^ of Mort d'Ancestre,
and Darrien Presentment shall not be taken but in their
proper counties, and in this manner : — we, or our Chief Justi-
ciary, if we are out of the kingdom, will send two Justicia-
ries into each county, four times in the year, who, with
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 35
four Knights of each county, chosen by the county, shall
hold the aforesaid assizes, within the county, on the day and
at the place appointed. And if the aforesaid assizes cannot
be taken on the day of the county-court, let as many
knights and freeholders, of those who were present at the
county-court, remain behind, as shall be sufficient to do jus-
tice, according to the great, or less importance of the
business.
VIII. A freeman shall not be amerced for a small offence,
but only according to the degree of the offence, and for a
great crime, according to the magnitude of the crime, saving
his contenement ; a Merchant shall be amerced in the same
manner, saving his merchandise ; and a villain shall be
amerced after the same manner, saving to him his Wain-
age, if he shall fall into our mercy. And none of the
aforesaid amerciaments shall be assessed but by the oath
of honest men of the neighborhood. Earls and Barons
shall not be amerced but by their peers, and that only ac-
cording to the degree of their delinquency. No Clerk
shall be amerced for his lay-tenement, but according to the
manner of the others as aforesaid, and not according to the
quantity of his ecclesiastical benefice.
IX. Neither a town, nor any person, shall be distrained to
build bridges, or embankments, excepting those which an-
ciendy, and of right, are bound to do it.
X. No Sheriff, Constable, Coroners, nor other of our
Bailiffs, shall hold pleas of our crown.
XL All Counties and Hundreds, Trethings, and Wapen-
takes shall be at the ancient rent, without any increase, ex-
cepting in our Demesne-manors.
XII. If any one holding of us a lay-fee, dies, and the
Sheriff or our Bailiff shall show our letters-patent of sum-
mons concerning the debt which the deceased owed to us, it
shall be lawful for the Sheriff, or our Bailiff, to attach and
36 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
register the chattels of the deceased, found upon his lay-fee,
to the amount of that debt, by the view of lawful men, so
that nothing shall be removed from thence until our debt be
paid to us ; and the rest shall be left to the executors to
fulfil the will of the deceased ; and if nothing be owing to
us by him, all the chattels shall fall to the deceased saving
to his wife and children their reasonable shares.
XIII. If any freeman shall die intestate, his chattels shall
be distributed by the hands of his nearest relations and
friends, by the view of the Church, saving to every one the
debts which the deceased owed.
XIV. No Constable, nor Bailiff of ours, shall take the
corn, or other goods, of any one without instantly paying him
money for them, unless he can obtain respite from payment
by the free will of the seller.
XV. No Constable shall distrain any Knight to give
money for castle-guard, if he be willing to perform it in his
own person, or by another able man, if he cannot perform
it himself, for a reasonable cause. And if we have carried,
or sent him into the army, he shall be excused from castle-
guard, according to the time that he shall be in the army by
our command.
XVI. No Sheriff, nor Bailiff of ours, nor any other per-
son shall take the horses, or carts of any freeman, for the
purpose of carriage, without the consent of the said freeman.
XVII. Neither we, nor our Bailiffs, will take another man's
wood, for our casdes, or other uses, unless by consent of him
to whom the wood belongs.
XVIII. We will not retain the lands of those who have
been convicted of felony, excepting for one year and one
day, and then they shall be given up to the lord of the fee.
XIX. All wears for the future shall be quite removed out
of the Thames and the Medway, and through all England,
excepting upon the sea-coast.
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 37
XX. The writ which is called Praecipe, for the future shall
not be granted to any one of any tenement, by which a
freeman may lose his cause.
XXI. There shall be one measure of wine throughout
all our kingdom, and one measure of ale, and one measure
of com, namely, the quarter of London, and one breadth
of dyed cloth, and of russets, and of halberjects, namely, two
ells within the lists. Also it shall be the same with weights
as with measures.
XXII. Nothing shall be given, or taken for the future for
the Writs of Inquisition for life or limb ; but it shall be
given without charge, and not denied.
XXIII. If any hold of us by Fee-Farm, or Socage, or
Burgage, and hold land of another by Military Service, we
will not have the wardship of the heir, nor of his lands,
which are of the fee of another, on account of that Fee-
Farm, or Socage, or Burgage ; nor will we have the cus-
tody of the Fee-Farm, Socage or Burgage, unless the
Fee-Farm owe Military Service. We will not have the
wardship of the heir, nor of the lands of any one, which he
holds of another by Military Service, on account of any
Petty Sergeantry which he holds of us, by the service of
giving us daggers or arrows or the like.
XXIV. No Bailiff, for the future, shall put any man to his
oath, upon his simple affirmation, without credible witnesses
produced for that purpose.
XXV. No freeman shall be seized, or imprisoned, or dis-
possessed, or outlawed, or in any way destroyed ; nor will we
condemn him, nor will we commit him to prison, excepting
by the legal judgment of his peers, or by the laws of the
land.
XXVI. To none will we sell ; to none will we deny ; to
none will we delay right or justice.
XXVII. All Merchants shall have safety and security in
38 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
coming into England, and going out of England^ and in
staying and in travelling through England, as well by land
as by water, to buy and sell, without any unjust exactions,
according to ancient rights and customs, excepting in the
time of war, and if they be of a country at war against
us. And if such are found in our land at the beginning of
a war, they shall be apprehended without injury of their
bodies and goods, until it be known to us, or to our Chief
Justiciary, how the Merchants of our country are treated
who are found in the country at war against us ; and if ours
be in safety there, the others shall be in safety in our land.
XXVIII. It shall be lawful to any person, for the future,
to go out of our kingdom, and to return, safely and securely,
by land or by water, saving his allegiance to us, unless it be
in time of war, for some short space, for the common good
of the kingdom ; excepting prisoners and outlaws, according
to the laws of the land, and of the people of the nation at
war against us, and Merchants, who shall be treated as it is
said above.
XXIX. If any hold of any escheat, as of the Honor of
Wallingford, Nottingham, Boulogne, Lancaster, or of other
escheats which are in our land, and are Baronies, and shall
die, his heir shall not give any other relief, nor do any other
service to us, than he should have done to the Baron, if that
Barony had been in the hands of the Baron ; and we will
hold it in the same manner that the Baron held it
XXX. Men who dwell without the Forest, shall not come,
for the future, before our Justiciaries of the Forest on a
common summons, unless they be parties in the plea or
sureties for some person or persons who are attached for
the Forest.
XXXI. We will not make Justiciaries, Constables, Sheriffs,
or Bailiffs, excepting of such as know the laws of the realm,
and are well disposed to observe them.
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 39

hold by charters from the Kings of England, or by ancient
tenure, shall have the custody of them when they become
vacant, as they ought to have.
XXXIII. All Forests, which have been made in our time,
shall be immediately disafforested ; and it shall be so done
with Water-banks, which have been taken, or fenced-in by
us during our reign.
All evil customs of Forests and Warrens, and of For-
esters and Warreners, Sheriffs and their officers. Water-
banks and their keepers, shall be immediately inquired into
by twelve Knights of the same county, upon oath, who
shall be elected by good-men of the same county; and
within forty days after the inquisition is made, they shall be
altogether destroyed by them never to be restored; pro-
vided that this be notified to us before it be done, or to our
Justiciary, if we be not in England.
XXXIV. We will immediately restore all hostages and
charters, which have been delivered to us by the English, in
security of the peace and of their faithful service.
XXXV. We will remove from their bailiwicks the rela-
tions of Gerard d'Athyes, so that, for the future, they shall
have no bailiwick in England, [a/so] Engelard de Cygony,
Andrew, Peter and Gyone de Chancell, Gyone de Cygony,
Geoffrey de Martin, and his brothers, Philip Mark, and his
brothers, and Geoffrey, his nephew, and all their followers.
And immediately after the conclusion of the peace, we will
remove out of the kingdom all foreign knights, cross-bow
men, and stipendiary soldiers, who have come with horses
and arms to the molestation of the kingdom.
XXXVI. If any one hath been disseised, or dispossessed
by us, without a legal verdict of his peers, of his lands,
castles, liberties, or rights, we will immediately restore these
things to him ; and if any dispute shall arise on this head.
40 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
then it shall be determined by a verdict of the twenty-five
Barons, of whom mention is made below, for the security of
the peace. Concerning all those things of which any one
hath been disseised, or dispossessed, without legal verdict of
his peers, by King Henry, our father, or King Richard, our
brother, which we have in our hand, or others hold with our
warrants, we shall have respite, until the common term of
the Croisaders, excepting those concerning which a plea
has been moved, or an inquisition taken, by our precept,
before our taking the Cross ; but as soon as we shall return
from our expedition, or if, by chance, we should not go
upon our expedition, we will immediately do complete
justice therein.
The same respite will we have, and the same justice shall
be done, concerning the disafforestation of the forests, or
the forests which remain to be disafforested, which Henry,
our father, or Richard, our brother, have afforested ; and
[/Ae same] concerning the wardship of lands which are in
another's fee, but the wardship of which we have hitherto
had, occasioned by any of our fees held by Military Service ;
and for the abbeys founded in any other fee than our own,
in which the Lord of the fee hath claimed a right; and
when we shall have returned, or if we shall stay from our
expedition, we shall immediately do complete justice in all
these pleas.
XXXVII. No man shall be apprehended, or imprisoned
on the appeal of a woman, for the death of any other man
than her husband.
XXXVIII. All fines that have been made by us unjusdy,
or contrary to the laws of the realm ; and all amerciaments
that have been imposed unjusdy, or contrary to the laws of
the realm, shall be wholly remitted, or ordered by the verdict
of the twenty-five Barons, of whom mention is made below,
for the security of the peace, or by the verdict of the greater
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 4 1
part of them, together with the aforesaid Stephen, Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, if he can be present, and others
whom he may think fit to bring with him ; and if he cannot
be present, the business shall proceed, notwithstanding, with-
out him, but so, that if one, or more, of the aforesaid twenty-
five Barons have a similar plea, let them be removed from
that particular trial, and others elected and sworn by the
residue of the same twenty-five, be substituted in their room,
only for that trial.
XXXIX. If we have disseised, or dispossessed any Welsh-
men of their lands, or liberties, or other things, without a
legal verdict of their peers, in England, or in Wales, they
shall be immediately restored to them ; and if any dispute
shall arise upon this head, then let it be determined in the
Marches by the verdict of their peers : for a tenement of
England, according to the law of England ; for a tenement
of Wales, according to the law of Wales ; for a tenement
of the Marches, according to the law of the Marches. The
Welsh shall do the same to us and to our subjects. Also
concerning those things of which any Welshman hath been
disseised, or dispossessed without the legal verdict of his
peers, by King Henry, our father, or King Richard, our
brother, which we have in hand, or others hold with our war-
rant, we shall have respite, until the common term of the
Croisaders, excepting for those concerning which a plea hath
been moved, or an inquisition made, by our precept, before
our taking the Cross. But as soon as we shall return from
our expedition, or if, by chance, we should not go upon our
expedition, we shall immediately do complete justice therein,
according to the laws of Wales, and the parts thereof. We
will immediately deliver up the son of Llewellyn and all the
hostages of Wales, and release them from their engage-
ments which were made with us, for the security of the peace.
XL. We shall do to Alexander, king of Scotland, con-
4
42 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
ceming the restoration of his sisters and hostages, and
his liberties and rights, according to the form in which we
act to our other Barons of England, unless it ought to be
otherwise by the charters which we have from his father,
William, the late king of Scodand ; and this shall be by the
verdict of his peers in our court.
All these customs and liberties aforesaid, which we have
granted to be held in our kingdom, for so much of it as
belongs to us, all our subjects, as well clergy as laity, shall
observe towards their tenants as far as concerns them.
Since we have granted all these things aforesaid, for GOD,
and for the amendment of our kingdom, and for the better
extinguishing of the discord which has arisen between us
and our Barons, we, being desirous that these things should
possess entire and unshaken stability forever, give and
grant to them the security underwritten ; namely, that the
Barons may elect twenty-five Barons of the kingdom, whom
they please, who shall, with their whole power, observe, keep
and cause to be observed, the peace and liberties which we
have granted to them, and have confirmed by this, our pres-
ent Charter, in this manner : that is to say, if we, or our
Justiciary, or our Bailiffs, or any of our officers, shall have
injured any one in anything, or shall have violated any article
of the peace or security, and the injury shall have been
shown to four of the aforesaid twenty-five Barons, the said
four Barons shall come to us, or to our Justiciary, if we be
out of the kingdom, and making known to us, the excess
committed, petition that we cause that excess to be redressed
without delay.
And if we shall not have redressed the excess, or, if we
have been out of the kingdom, our Justiciary shall not have
redressed it within the term of forty days, computing from
the time when it shall have been made known to us, or to
our Justiciary, if we have been out of the kingdom, the
THE MAGNA CHARTA OF KING JOHN 43
aforesaid four Barons shall lay that cause before the residue
of the twenty-five Barons, and they, the twenty-five Barons,
with the community of the whole land, shall distress and
harass us by all the means in which they are able ; that is
to say, by the taking of our castles, land, and possessions,
and by [/f^y] other means in their power until the excess
shall have been redressed, according to their verdict ; saving
[karmUss] our person and [/fe j^soms] of our Queen and
children ; and when it hath been redressed, they shall behave
to us as they have done before.
Whoever of our land pleaseth, may swear that he will
obey the commands of the aforesaid twenty-five Barons, in
accomplishing all the things aforesaid, and that with them
he will harass us to the utmost of his power ; and we will
publicly and freely give leave to every one to swear who
is willing to swear ; and we will never forbid any to swear.
But all those of our land, who, of themselves, and of their
own accord, are unwilling to swear to the twenty-five Barons,
to distress and harass us [lo^'eiAer] with them, we will
compel them by our conunand, to swear as aforesaid.
If any one of the twenty-five Barons shall die, or remove
out of the land, or in any other way shall be prevented from
executing the things above said, they who remain of the
twenty-five Barons shall elect another in his place, accord-
ing to their own pleasure, who shall be sworn in the same
manner as the rest
In all those things which are appointed to be done by
these twenty-five Barons, if it happen that all the twenty-
five have been present, and have differed in their opinions
about anything ; or if some of them who had been sum-
moned, would not, or could not be present, that which the
greater part of those who were present, shall have provided
and decreed, shall be held as firm and as valid as if all the
twenty-five had agreed in it.
44 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
The aforesaid twenty-five [^Barons] shall swear, that they
will faithfully observe, and with all their power, cause to be
observed, all the things mentioned above.
We will obtain nothing from any one, by ourselves, nor
by another, by which any of these concessions and liberties
may be revoked, or diminished. And if any such thing shall
have been obtained, let it be void and null ; and we will
never use it, neither by ourselves, nor by another.
We have fully remitted and pardoned to all men, all the
ill-will, rancour, and resentments, which have arisen between
us and our subjects, both clergy and laity, from the com-
mencement of the discord. Moreover, we have fully re-
mitted to all the clergy and laity, and, as far as belongs to
us, have fully pardoned all transgressions committed by
occasion of the said discord, from Easter, in the sixteenth
year of our reign, until the conclusion of the peace. And,
moreover, we have caused to be made to them testimonial-
letters of the Lord Stephen, Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Lord Henry, Archbishop of Dublin, and of the aforesaid
Bishops, and of Master Pandulph, concerning this security
and the aforesaid concessions.
Wherefore our will is, and we firmly command that the
Church of England be free, and that the men in our king-
dom have and hold the aforesaid liberties, rights and con-
cessions, well and in peace, freely and quietly, fully and en-
tirely, to them and their heirs, of us and our heirs, in all
things and places, for ever as is aforesaid.
It is also sworn, both on our part, and on that of the Barons,
that all the aforesaid shall be observed in good faith, and
without any evil intention.
Witnessed by the above, and many others.
Given by our hand in the meadow which is called Runne-
mede, between Windsor and Staines, this fifteenth day of
June, in the seventeenth year of our reign.

Zbe fl^agna Cbatta Bescribeb
i^^t^HE following descriptions of the series of English
■ J[^ Charters of Liberties, which are now extant in
any form, granted before and immediately after
the time of King John, have been compiled from authentic
sources, with the intent of giving a general idea of their
appearance. A compilation of the preserved fragments of
the ancient Anglo-Saxon Statutes can be found in Dr.
Wilkins's " Leges Anglo-Saxonicae."
The first separate Charter, properly so called, issued for
the restoration of the early Common Law of England, was
the one granted about a.d. i ioo by King Henry I., which
was the foundation of King John's Magna Charta and all
Charters of Liberties that succeeded. Of this Charter, en-
tided "The Institutions of King Henry," the earliest text
appears now to be preserved in the ancient manuscript, in
the Chartulary at Rochester, entitled " Textus Roffensis,"
compiled by the bishop of that see, between 1116 and 1125.
Stephen, Earl of Blois, the successor to Henry I., when
he took his coronation oath, December 26, 1135, made the
terms of it almost equivalent to a Charter of Liberties, and
subsequently, in the first year of his reign, secured the lib-
erties, principally ecclesiastical, which he had promised by
two proper instruments. One of these interesting relics of
English history is preserved in the archives of Exeter Ca-
thedral, with part of the Great Seal still remaining attached
to it The parchment containing it measures ten and five-
45
46 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
eighths by four and seven-eighths inches. The seal of King
Stephen is attached to a thin cord, and the Latin script is
comprised in nineteen lines of a small kind of Norman run-
ning-hand, with numerous contractions.
King Stephen violated every article in this Charter, which
caused his Barons to revolt from their allegiance, forfeit
their estates, and the whole realm become involved in a civil
war for the remainder of his reign. The other Charter of
Liberties granted by this sovereign was very brief, also writ-
ten in Latin, without date, and is preserved in an ancient
entry in the Cottonian MSS.
King Henry II. made no promises concerning charters and
liberties which had so much involved his predecessors. To
restore tranquillity to his kingdom, he convened the Na-
tional Assembly at Wallingford, when it was decreed that
the ancient laws of England should be restored, and he also
confirmed the Charter of his grandfather, Henry I., a copy
of which confirmation is preserved in the Red Book of the
Exchequer. In 1 1 75, Henry II. again confirmed the common
laws of King Edward the Confessor, after which all great
proceedings upon the Charters of Liberties were suspended
until the time of King John, since the Barons were too much
occupied with foreign wars in the reign of Richard I.
In the second year of his reign commenced the disputes
between King John and the clergy, which in 1 207 laid the
whole kingdom under an interdict, and lasted till in 12 14,
when it terminated in the resignation of his crown to the
Pope and the granting of his first Charter, giving an absolute
freedom in the choice of prelates for England. This Char-
ter was " Given at the New Temple, by die hand of Master
Robert de Marsh, our Chancellor, the 21st day of Novem-
ber," and was witnessed by Peter de Rupibus, William
Marshall, Sr., William de Warren, Ralph de Meschines,
Saher de Quincey, Geoffrey de Mandeville, William de
THE MAGNA CHARTA DESCRIBED 47
Ferrers, William de Briwere, Warine Fitz-Gerald, William
de Cantilupe, Hugh de Nevill, Roger de Vere, and William
de Huntingfield. An ancient copy of this Charter is pre-
served in the Register-books in the archives of Canterbury
Cathedral. The Pope confirmed this Charter March 30,
1215-
An undoubted original of the articles or rough draught
of the Magna Charta containing the heads of the statutes
incorporated into the Magna Charta of King John, with a
fragment of the Great Seal in brown wax still suspended
to the lower part by a parchment label, is preserved in the
Library of the British Museum. It is pasted on muslin and
preserved beneath a frame and glass in the room containing
the Royal Library, No. VII. These articles are in Latin,
written on a skin of parchment, eighty-nine inches long,
and measure ten and three-quarters inches in breadth by
twenty-one and one-half inches in length, inclusive of the
fold for receiving the label. The seal is considerably dam-
aged, but the script is well preserved, excepting some
letters which have been worn out by the creases in the
parchment. The character is a very small Norman run-
ning-hand, with many contractions, generally the same
throughout the whole, though some parts appear to have
been added some short time subsequent to the rest, in a
more hasty hand, as if done upon more mature deliberation.
It is believed that the original of the Magna Charta, that
which was first actually drawn into form, and upon which
King John placed his seal at the meadow of Runnemede,
the original whence all the perfect copies were made for
distribution throughout the realm, is the one preserved in
the Cottonian Library in the British Museum, because of its
deficiency in several words and sentences which are added
for insertion beneath the instrument, while the other few
copies extant have not this probable proof of originality.
48 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
This celebrated instrument is written in Latin on a skin
of parchment, now measuring fourteen and one-half inches
in breadth by twenty and one-half inches in length, including
the fold for the label. It was very much shrivelled and mu-
tilated, and the seal reduced to almost a shapeless mass, by
a fire which took place at Westminster, October 23, 1731.
It is a curious circumstance that the passages of the Magna
Charta which remain the most legible are the two most
famous sections in the whole instrument, which would alone
have procured it the title of the Great Charter. These are
Sections XXV. and XXVI.
The whole Charter, the character in which it is written
being nearly similar to that of the preliminary articles, con-
sists of eighty-six lines, including one of the additions,
which are referred to by asterisks, to be inserted in four
different places. This mutilated, original Magna Charta
is exhibited in a frame, under glass, and its preservation
is considered one of the most remarkable instances of
the recovery of ancient manuscripts. One of the pro-
visions of the treaty of peace concluded between Henry
III. and Louis, the Dauphin, was dated at the Lambeth
Palace, and contained the provision that Louis should re-
store to the king certain public records and the Magna
Charta granted by King John, which were in the possession
of him and the English Barons. These writings were de-
posited in the archbishop's palace after the compact was
concluded, and remained forgotten in the archives until in
1640, when, on December 18, William Laud, Archbishop of
Canterbury, was brought to the bar of the House of Lords.
Apprehending the termination of the trial, Dr. Laud sent
Dr. John Warner, the Bishop of Rochester, to Lambeth, to
go over his papers and destroy or secrete all which were
compromising. Dr. Warner carried away the Magna
Charta with the mass of the archbishop's manuscripts he
THE MAGNA CHARTA DESCRIBED 49
desired to secrete. This quaint document was discovered
and appropriated by the executor of Dr. Warner, and,
through the hands of his son's executor, Colonel Lee,
passed into the appreciative hands of Bishop Burnet^ the
historian, by whom it was transmitted to the museum.
It is not known how many copies of the Magna Charta
were made for distribution throughout the various shires,
but to this fact and the Anglo-Saxon custom of registering
and preserving important writings in religious houses is
due the preservation of several original copies in the ar-
chives of the English cathedrals. A well-preserved copy
is in the Lincoln Cathedral, carefully written in a small Nor-
man running-hand, with many contractions, with the added
words in their proper places. The whole instrument occu-
pies fifty-four lines and measures seventeen and one-eighth
by seventeen and one-half inches, exclusive of the fold for
the label, and is a fair example probably of the copies dis-
tributed in the summer of 12 15. Another original copy of
the Magna Charta is in the archives of the Salisbury Cathe-
dral, and another is in the Cottonian Collection, British
Museum. It measures seventeen inches by twenty-one
inches, and the script is written on the length of the parch-
ment, the character being similar, however, to that of the
other copies, occupying fifty-two lines.
There is no original copy extant of the Covenant of Se-
curity given by King John to the Barons. The only ancient
record of it is on the Close Roll of the seventeenth of John,
in the Tower of London. The next in importance of this
series of instruments is the First Great Charter of Henry
III., dated at Bristol, November 12, 1216, and is preserved
in the archives of Durham Cathedral. The copy of the
Second Great Charter of Henry III. is in the Bodleian
Library, at Oxford, and in appearance resembles the others,
with Cardinal Gaulo's seal in white wax and William Mar-
50 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
shalFs in green. All of the other original Charters of Henry
III. and of Edward I. have also been preserved by the English
government.
These ancient original Charters are generally written in
Latin across the shortest way of the parchment, without
paragraphs, and bore no signatures, although it is a popular
notion that the Magna Charta of King John was signed by
him and witnessed by the signatures or seals of certain
Barons. There are no appearances of signatures on the
original Magna Charta, nor on any of the orignal copies of
it, and the words of the Charter — Data per manum nostram
— only signify that the instrument was given by the king's
hand, as a confirmation of his own act. In simply placing
his seal on the Magna Charta, the king followed only the
common law maxim that sealing was sufficient to authenti-
cate a deed, though it was essential that it should be deliv-
ered before witnesses, whence the expression in the Magna
Charta, — Testtbus supraduHs, et muliis aliis. Therefore
King John's seal was the only one attached to the instru-
ment, and he did not sign it, nor did any Baron sign or at-
tach his seal to it The seal which John used on the Magna
Charta was accidentally lost, with all his treasure, in a whirl-
pool when crossing the washes of Lincoln from Crosskeys
to Fosdyke, October 12, 121 6, only a week before his death.
For two years after this the only seal used on public or
royal documents was that of the Protector, William Mar-
shall.
IRunnemebe
a HE famous meadow or plain upon which the Barons
encamped, and where King John sealed and deliv-
ered to them the long-desired Magna Charta, is
situate on the southwest bank of the river Thames, be-
tween Staines and Windsor, in the hundred of Godley, oi
Chertsey, in the county of Surrey.
** Here was that Charter sealed, wherein the Crown,
All marks of arbitrary pow*r lays down ;
Tyrant and Slave, those names of hate and fear,
The happier style of King and Subject bear —
Happy when both to the same centre move,
When Kings give Liberty, and Subjects Love.'*
Thus does the poet, Sir John Denham, in his poem
entitled "Cooper's Hill," an eminence which bounds the
prospect to the west of Runnemede, allude to this historic
spot.
The origin of the name of this celebrated meadow has
not been distinctly traced, and this probably accounts for
its varied spelling : Runimed in the original Latin Magna
Charta, Runnemede in the popular translations of it, varied
to Runemed, Runemeid, Rendmed, Redmede, Runnymede,
Runni-mede, Runney Mead, Rennemed, and even Rumney
Mead. Conjecture is that it was derived from the Saxon
words Rune, signifying Council, and Made, or Madewe,
Mead, or Meadow. The vulgar name given to this historic
SI
52 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
spot is Running Mead, from the running of horses here, or
the race-course, or from the river running beside it. It
also has been called Council Mead or Meadow.
This field proper — ^a triangular slip of meadow about a
mile long— contains about one hundred and sixty acres of
pasture-land, and adjoins two other large meadows, called
Long Mead, on the west, and Yard Mead, on the south-
east ; but there is no doubt that the whole of the bottom or
level was all in one field at the time of the sealing and de-
livering of the Magna Charta. Between Runnemede and
the Thames River is a raised causeway, constructed at the
cost of a patriotic merchant of London, Thomas de Hen-
ford, in the reign of Henry III., and since carefully main-
tained as a barrier against the river floods. It is a portion
of the manor of Egham, and, although belonging to the
crown, Runnemede is part freehold and part copy-hold, and
tithe free. It is let at from twenty to thirty shillings per
acre, to generally a dozen persons, who have the sole use
of it from March to the middle of August, when it becomes
common to all the parish of Egham, which then turns on it
all the cattle for pasturage. The last week in August it is
enclosed for public horse-races, when the so-called Egham
races are run on a good two-mile track, which take place on
the last Tuesday in August and the following two days, and
this is the only annual celebration on this historic mead,
but the events of 1 2 1 5 are recalled by the racing for the
'* Magna Charta," " Runnemede," and " King John" stakes.
From time immemorial it would seem that this mead has
been appropriated to horse-racing, and in early times to
stag-hunting.
It has been several times in contemplation to erect a
column on Runnemede as a perpetual memorial of the
great historic event which took place here in 1 2 1 5 ; but,
either from insufficient means or a reproachful deficiency of
RUNNEMEDE 53
English sentimental patriotism, no effectual steps have been
taken to accomplish that desirable object.
The poet Mark Akenside, about the middle of the last
century, composed the following lines as an appropriate in-
scription for the panel of such a monument :
" Thou who the verdant plain dost traverse here,
Whilst Thames among the willows from thy view
Retires, O Stranger ! stay thee, and the scene
Around contemplate well. This is the place
Where England's ancient Barons, clad in arms
And stem with conquest, from their tyrant King
(Then rendered tame), did challenge and secure
The Charter of thy freedom. Pass not on
Till thou hast bless* d their memory, and paid
Those thanks which God appointed the reward
Of Public Virtue. And if chance thy home
Salute then with an honour'd Father's name.
Go, call thy Sons ; — instruct them what a debt
They owe their ancestors ; and make them swear
To pay it, by transmitting down intire
Those sacred rights to which themselves were bom."
There has been a tradition current in modern times that
the Magna Charta was sealed on an eyot, or small island, in
the Thames, adjacent to Runnemede, and not in the mead
itself; but this is easily disproved by the closing passage of
the original Charter, which expressly states that it was
" given by our own hand, in the Meadow which is called
Runnemede, between Windsor and Staines."
The opinion is sometimes expressed that the treaty was
negotiated on the island, and the Charter itself sealed in the
meadow. Aubrey's "History of Surrey" says, "On the
back side of Egham, northwards, lies Rumney-Mead, to-
wards the Thames ; in which meadow was sealed Magna
Charta. In this flat of meadow which is long, extending
westward by the River side, are several enclosures, but
doubtless then it lay all open. The meadow called Rum-
54 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
ney-Mead lies between Long-Mead and a mead abutting on
Humber Lane. They say one of the armies lay in Long
Mead, and the other in the aforesaid meadow, next Egham.
The tradition is, that the Treaty was in an Eight, over
against Yard-mead, which is Rumney-mead, and the Great
Charter was settled here."
The only person particularly interested in having this
island, which contains about fifteen hundred acres of land,
as the scene of the sealing of the Magna Charta, is its owner,
or lessee, as there is a unique lodge on the island fitted up
as a refreshment-room, and " Charta Island" is noted princi-
pally for this among the pleasure-seekers and sight-seers.
This " Memorial Lodge," as the inscription on a stone slab
informs the visitor, was erected in 1834, by George S. Har-
court, of Ankerwyke House, lord of the manor, and then
high sheriff of Buckinghamshire, in which county Charter
Island is situated. Though certainly the island was not the
place where John granted the Magna Charta, it could easily
have derived its appellation from having been historically
connected with the events of that era, for, according to
Matthew Paris's statements, in his " History of England," of
the events of this time, the treaty between Henry III. and
the Dauphin of France, whereby the foreign auxiliaries, both
of the deceased king, John, and of the Barons, were con-
strained to quit the country, was finally settled " near the
town of Staines, in a certain Island by the river Thames."
"There King Henry, with the legate and great marshal
and many others, on the one part, and Louis, with the Barons
and others associated with him, on the other part, by the
grace of God, settled the terms of peace, on the 3d of the
ides of September, 12 17." There is a tradition that the
Barons often held consultations in a great hall beneath
Reygate Casde, in County Surrey, near to Runnemede,
which was one of the seats of the Warrens, ancient Earls
RUNNEMEDE 55
of Surrey. At the time of the baronial uprising it was
held by an Earl of Warren and Surrey who was more
friendly to King John than to the Barons. Although he was
frightened by the Barons into taking up arms against the
king, his name appears on John's part in the opening pas-
sage of the Magna Charta. As the Barons seized his
Casde of Reygate to keep him with them, it is possible they
may have used it, and particularly the great hall.

WILLIAM D'ALBINI
Cms Surety was descended from Robert de Todeni,
feudal lord of Belvoir Castle, in Lincolnshire, pos-
sessed of eighty lordships at the time of the Gen-
eral Survey, who d. 1088. His eldest son by his wife, Adela :
William d'Albini-Brito, lord of Belvoir Casde, was a
gallant commander in the war in Normandy, and d. 11 55,
having issue by his wife, Maud, widow of Robert, son of
Richard Fitz-Gilbert de Clare :
William d'Albini-Meschines, the Briton, lord of Belvoir
Castle, a Baron by tenure, d. 11 67, who was the father of
William d'Albini, lord of Belvoir Casde, third feudal
Baron. When his father died he was in ward to King
Henry II., and, in 1 194, he was in the army of Richard I. in
Normandy. In the following year he was constituted sheriff
of the counties of Warwick and Leicester, and also held the
same office for those of Rudand, Bedford, and Buckingham,
between 1196 and 1199. Upon the accession of John to
the throne he received several valuable grants, being already
wealthy. In 1201, when the Barons refused to attend King
John into France, he demanded diat their casdes should be
given up to him as security for their allegiance, beginning
with William d' Albini, of whom he claimed Belvoir Casde, in-
stead of which he gave him his son, William, as a hostage.
He appears to have remained longer faithful to the king,
as well as more moderate in his opposition to him, than most

of the Barons, and did not join the insurgents until he could
no longer with safety either remain neutral or adhere to the
king, for so late as January, 12 14-15, he was one of King
John's commissioners appointed for the safe-conduct of such
as were travelling to his court, at Northampton. After he
joined the Barons he entered with great spirit into their
cause, and was elected one of the Sureties for the observance
of the Magna Charta, and was excommunicated ; but after
having gained their point, he was looked upon with sus-
picion because he did not attend the grand tournament, on
June 29, to celebrate the victory, and it was not until after
other Barons had alarmed him, that he fortified his casde at
Belvoir, and joined them at London. But the sequel proves
their suspicions were not well grounded. He was placed
as governor of Rochester Casde, when, though he found
it so utterly destitute of provisions as almost to induce his
men to abandon it, he recruited and held it until famine,
weakness, and watching obliged them to surrender to the
king. The siege having lasted three months, and being at-
tended with considerable loss, King John ordered that all
the nobles in the castle should be hanged ; but this sentence
being resolutely opposed by his chief councillors, William
d* Albini and his son Odonel, with several other Barons, were
committed to the custody of Peter de Mauley, and sent pris-
oners to Corfe and Nottingham Castles. Whilst d'Albini
remained at Corfe, the king marched on Christmas morning,
1 2 16, from Nottingham to Langar, near Belvoir Casde, and
sent a summons to surrender. Upon this, Nicholas d'Al-
bini, one of the Baron's sons and a clerk in orders, deliv-
ered the keys to the king, asking only that his father should
be mercifully treated. The fortress was then committed to
the custody of Geoffrey and Oliver de Buteville. His lib-
erty was gained only by William d'Albini paying a fine to
the king of six thousand marks (four thousand pounds), the

sum being raised from his own lands by his wife, on dieir
being delivered to her for that express purpose. After
King John's death, though he submitted himself to King
Henry III., he was forced to give his wife and son Nicholas
as hostages for his allegiance ; but in 1 2 1 7 he was one of
the king's commanders at the battle of Lincoln. * He d. at

74 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
HUGH BIGOD
An account of this Baron's ancestors is given with that
of his father. He was the eldest son and heir of Roger
Bigod, one of the celebrated twenty-five Sureties for the
observance of the Magna Charta, and took part from the
beginning in the Barons' Magna Charta proceedings, and
was, with his father, elected one of the Sureties for this in-
strument. There are few particulars of this Baron's life
extant, for he enjoyed the tide of Earl of Norfolk, and his
father's estates and honors, to which he succeeded in 5
Henry III., 1220-21, but a few years, as he died 9 Henry
III., 1224-5.
He m. Maud, her first husband, eldest daughter and co-
heiress of William le Mareschal, or Marshall, by his wife
Isabel de Clare, only child and heiress of Richard the
Strongbow, second Earl of Pembroke, who had been under
the guardianship of King Henry II., and was given in mar-
riage to William Marshall by King Richard the Lion-
Hearted, in 1 189, before his coronation, and with her he
acquired the earldom of Pembroke, and in this rank bore
the royal sceptre at the coronation of Richard I. He was
brother and heir-male of John, Baron Marshall, hereditary
marshal of the king's household, who bore the great golden
spurs of the king at the coronation of Richard I., and shortly
d. s, p.
William Marshall first appears in English history as a
supporter of Prince Henry, the rebellious son of Henry II.
This prince, upon his death-bed, delivered to his most confi-
dential friend, William Marshall, his cross, to convey to
Jerusalem, which commission, however, he personally never
BIOGRAPHIES OF THE SURETIES 75
fulfilled, as he shortly afterwards married the great heiress,
became Earl of Pembroke, and was left at home by Richard
Coeur de Lion, when he set out on his journey to the Holy
Land, as one of the assistants in the government of the
realm during his absence. Upon the decease of his brother
John, in 1199, he became lord marshal to King John, and
on the day of John's coronation he was invested with the
sword of the earldom of Pembroke, being then confirmed
in the possession of the said inheritance, and was shortly
afterwards appointed high sheriff of the counties of Sussex
and Gloucester. In a few years he had grants from King
John of Goderich Casde, in County Hereford, and of the
whole province of Leinster, in Ireland. Being in such high
favor with the king, he was a strenuous supporter of the
royal interests upon the breaking out of the baronial insur-
rection, and was deputed by the king, with the Archbishop
of Canterbury, to ascertain the grievances and demands of
the Barons, while his eldest son, William, was a supporter
of the baronial cause and was elected one of the twenty-five
Sureties for the observance of the Magna Charta. At the
demise of King John, the Earl of Pembroke was so power-
ful that he prevailed upon the Barons to appoint a day for
the coronation of Henry III., to whom he was constituted
guardian, by the Barons who had remained firm in their al-
legiance. Subsequently he took up arms in the royal cause,
and, after achieving a victory over the Barons, at Lincoln,
proceeded to London, then held by the Barons, and invested
the city, both by land and water, and reduced it to extremity
for want of provisions. He was the most eminent statesman
and soldier of his time, and was also distinguished for his
piety and attachment to the Church. He had five sons, by
the heiress of Clare, who each succeeded in his lands and
honors, and all died without issue, when all his honors be-
came extinct and his great inheritance devolved upon his
76 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
five daughters. Lady Maud, wife of Hugh Bigod, obtained
as her share the homestead-manor of Hempsted-Marshall, in
Berks, with the office of marshal of England, which was in-
herited by her son, Roger Bigod, fourth Earl of Norfolk, and
surrendered to the crown by her grandson Roger, fifth Earl.
The Earl of Pembroke had as his second wife, Alice, daugh-
ter of Baldwin de Bethune, Earl of Albemarle, m. in 1 203.
Richard de Clare, aforesaid, surnamed the Strongbow,
was the eldest son of Gilbert de Clare (brother of Richard
de Clare, first Earl of Hertford), who, having license from
the king to enjoy all the lands he should win by his sword
in Wales, brought Caerdiganshire under subjection, erected
strong castles, and, in 1 1 38, was created Earl of Pembroke
by King Stephen. Richard the Strongbow procured for
himself a conspicuous place in history by the leading part
he took in the subjugation of Ireland, and his romantic mar-
riage with Princess Eva, daughter of Dermot Macmurcha,
last king of the province of Leinster, with whom he had in
dower a great part of the realm. He was constituted Jus-
ticiary of Ireland by King Henry II., and, dying in April,

ROGER BIGOD
Roger Bigod, or le Bigot, a feudal Baron, the first of this
great family that settled in England, was in the Conqueror's
time possessed of six lordships in Essex and one hundred
and seventeen in Suffolk. Adhering to the party that took
up arms against William Rufus, he fortified the casde of
Norwich, and wasted the country around. At the accession
of Henry I., being a witness of the king's laws and stanch
in his interests, he obtained gifts of land from the crown,
and was lord high steward in right of his wife. In 1 103
he and his wife founded the abbey of Whetfor^, in Norfolk,
where he was buried in 1107, 7 Henry I. He m. before

Count de Beaumont, and had :
Hugh Bigod, second son, who succeeded his elder
brother, William, accidentally drowned s,p. with the king's
children, 20 Henry I., as steward of the household to Henry
I. He was mainly instrumental in raising Stephen, Earl
of Boulogne, to the throne, upon the decease of Henry
I., and was rewarded by him with the earldom of East
Angles, or Norfolk, about 11 40. He was steadfast and
faithful in his allegiance to King Stephen through the diffi-
culties which beset that monarch, and gallantly defended
Ipswich Castle against the Empress Maud and her son, but
was finally obliged to surrender for want of timely relief.
That he was a wealthy and powerful noble is evident from
his certifying his knight's fees to be one hundred and sixty

in 12 Henry II. He evidendy enjoyed royal favor, as he
was recreated Earl of Norfolk by Henry II., and obtained a
grant of the office of lord high steward of the kingdom,
which his father had held.
Notwithstanding these and other equally substantial
marks of the king's liberality, the Earl of Norfolk arrayed
himself under the banner of Robert, Earl of Leicester, in
the insurrection incited by that nobleman in favor of the
king's son, 19 Henry II. His part in this rebellion cost him
the loss of his strongest castles and the heavy fine of one
thousand marks, over six hundred and sixty-six pounds.
After this he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and died
23 Henry II., 11 77. He had by his first wife, Juliana, sister
of Alberic de Vere, created, 11 35, Earl of Oxford, great
high chamberlain of England, and daughter of Alberic,
second Baron de Vere, of Kensington, appointed by Henry
I. great high chamberlain of England, by his wife Adeliza,
daughter of Gilbert de Clare, of Tonebruge, Kent, and his
wife Adeliza, daughter of Hugh, Count de Clermont :
Roger Bigod, eldest son, who succeeded as second Earl
of Norfolk, and was reconstituted in his earldom and the
office of lord high steward by Richard I. upon his accession,
by charter dated November 27, 1189, and also obtained at
this time restitution of some manors his father had forfeited,
with grants of others, and the confirmation of all demesnes
he held. He was appointed, 1 189, by King Richard one of
the ambassadors from him to Philip of France, for obtaining
aid towards the recovery of the Holy Land. Upon the
return of King Richard from his captivity in Germany, the
Earl assisted at a great council held by the king at Notting-
ham, 1 194, and at this monarch's second coronation his
lordship was one of the four earls that had the honor of
carrying the silken canopy over the monarch's head.
In 1 200 the Earl of Norfolk was sent by King John as

land, to do homage to him in Parliament at Lincoln, and

HENRY DE BOHUN
Humphrey de Bohun, a kinsman and companion in arms
of the Conqueror, generally known as " Humphrey with the
Beard," was the founder of the House of Bohun in England.
He does not seem to have profited much through his alleged
relationship to the Conqueror, as at the General Survey he
possessed only one lordship, Taterford, in Norfolk, in which
he was succeeded by his son :
Humphrey de Bohun, who, in contradistinction to his
father, or because of the wealth his wife brought him, or
because of his conquest of so wealthy a lady, was sumamed
the Great. He m,, by command of King Stephen, Maud,
only daughter of Edward d'Evereux, lord of Salisbury, or
Saresbury, sheriff of Wiltshire, who owned manors in eight
counties, and had :
Humphrey de Bohun, eldest son and heir, who was stew-
ard and sewer to King Henry I. At the instigation of his
father-in-law he espoused the cause of the Empress Maud
and her son against King Stephen, and so faithfully main-
tained his allegiance that the Empress, by her especial
charter, granted him the office of steward and sewer, in
both Normandy and England. In 20 Henry II. he accompa-
nied Richard de Lacie, Justiciary of England, into Scodand,
with an army, to waste the country ; and was one of the
witnesses to the accord made by William of Scotland and

GILBERT DE CLARE
An account of the ancestry of this Baron is given in the
sketch of his father, Richard de Clare. He was granted
some Welsh lordships in 1210-11 by King John, and forti-
fied the castle of Buelth, in Wales, but shortly afterwards,
with his father, took up arms with the Barons against the
king in the interests of civil and religious liberty, and was
elected one of the celebrated Sureties for the Magna Charta,
and was excommunicated. He was one of the Barons still
opposing the arbitrary proceedings of the crown, who cham-
pioned Louis, the Dauphin, fought at Lincoln under the
baronial banner, and was taken prisoner by the Earl of
Pembroke, the Protector of England, and sent to Glouces-
ter, but soon afterwards made his peace and married one of
the five daughters, and coheiresses of her five brothers, of
the Protector. After the decease of his father, in 1 2 1 8, he

RICHARD DE CLARE
Richard Fitz-Gilbert was the founder of the House of
Clare in England. He accompanied William the Conqueror
into England, and participated in the spoils of conquest,
and obtained extensive possessions in the new and old do-
minions of his royal leader and kinsman. He was the eldest
son of Gislebert, surnamed Crispin, Count of Eu, or Ewe,
Earl of Brion, in Normandy, in right of his wife, sister and
heiress of the Earl of Brion, and by inheritance from his
father, Geoffrey (or Godfrey), Earl or Count of Eu and
Brion, or Bryomy, a natural son of Richard I., Sanspeur,
third Duke of Normandy, d. 986, ancestor of William the
Conqueror.
In 6 William I., Richard was joined, under the designation
of Ricardus de Benefacta, with William de Warren, Earl
of Surrey, in the great office of Justiciary of England, with
whom in three years afterwards he was in arms against the
rebellious Barons, the Earl of Hereford, and the Earl of
Norfolk and Suffolk. At the time of the General Survey
of England he was designated as Ricardus de Tonebruge,
from his seat at Tonebruge (now Tunbridge), in Kent, which
town and castle he had obtained from the Archbishop of
Canterbury, in lieu of the casde of Brion, at which time he
is recorded as possessed of thirty-eight lordships in Surrey,
thirty-five in Essex, three in Cambridgeshire, ninety-five in
Suffolk, and some in Wilts and Devon. One of these lord-
ships was that of Clare, on the borders of and in Suffolk,
which subsequently becoming his chief seat, he came to
be styled Richard de Clare, and his descendants known as
Earls of Clare, although never so created. He fell in a skir-

mish with the Welsh, having issue by his wife Rohese, or
Rohais, daughter of Walter Giffard, first Earl of Bucking-
ham, son of Osborne de Bolebec and his wife Aveline,
sister of Gunnora, wife of Richard I., third Duke of Nor-
mandy, great-grandmother of William the Conqueror.
Walter Giffard was distinguished for gallant action in the
batde of Hastings. He assisted in making the General
Survey of England, and is recorded as the owner of one
hundred and seven lordships in the kingdom. He was the
commander of the army of William Rufus, in Normandy, in
1089, and in 1102 sided with Robert Curthose against
Henry I., and died in this year.
Gilbert de Tonebruge, eldest son of Robert Fitz-Gilbert,
inherited all his father's English estates. He appears to
have joined in the rebellion against King William Rufus,
and lost his casde of Tonebruge, and, dying shordy after-
wards, a munificent benefactor of the church, left issue by
his wife, Adeliza, daughter of Hugh, first Count de Cler-
mont, by his wife Margaret, daughter of Hildwin IV., Count
de Montdider and de Rouci, by his wife Adela, or Alexan-
dria, Countess de Rouci, whose mother, Beatrix, was a
daughter of Ranigerus, or Rynerius V., Count of Hainault,
977, and his wife, the Princess Havide, or Hedewige,
daugher of Hugh Capet, King of the Franks, 987, by his
wife Adela, or Alisa, daughter of William, Duke of Aqui-
taine and Adelheid, daughter of Otto I,, Emperor of Saxony.
Of this distinguished ancestry was
Richard de Clare, eldest son and heir of Gilbert de
Tonebruge. He was known as the Earl of Hertford, as well
as Earl of Clare, and invaded Wales and became lord of
vast possessions there by power of his sword, but finally was
slain in a skirmish with a few Welshmen, 11 39. He had
issue by his wife Alice, or Adeliza, daughter of Ranulph de
Meschines, Viscount Bayeux, in Normandy, third Earl of

Roger de Clare, second son of the above, succeeded his
brother Gilbert, who d.s. p. 1 151, as third Earl of Hertford
and " Earl of Clare." In 3 Henry II. he obtained permission
from the king to own all lands in Wales which he could win,
marched into Caerdigan, and captured and fortified the cas-
tles there. Six years afterwards he was summoned by the
celebrated Thomas 4 Becket, to Westminster, in order to do
homage to this prelate for his castle of Tonebruge, which
had been restored to his father, but, at the command of
King Henry, he refused, alleging that, holding it by military
service, it belonged rather to the crown than to the Church.
This earl, who, from his munificence to the church and his
numerous acts of piety, was called the "good Earl of Hert-

covenant made between King John and the Barons, and as
he did not die until " the 3d of the Calends of December
in the yeare after Christ 12 18," — December 30, 12 18, — and
there being no other prominent man of his name, it is very
likely that he was the Surety named. He was buried either
at Clare, or in the middle of the choir of the priory of Tun-

ROBERT FITZ-W ALTER
Robert Fitz-Richard, fifth son of Richard Fitz-Gilbert,
lord of Clare, in Suffolk, Justiciary of England, 1073, being
steward to King Henry I., obtained from that monarch the
barony of Dunmow, in Essex, forfeited by William Baynard,
as also the honor of Baynard Castle, in the city of London,
and, dying about 1 1 34, he had issue by his wife, Maud, Lady
of Bradham, reputed daughter of Simon de St. Liz, first
Earl of Huntingdon :
Walter Fffz-Robert, lord of Dunmow, eldest son. In
the controversy between the Earl of Moreton, brother of
King Richard I., and the Bishop of Ely, governor of the
realm during the king's absence in the Holy Land, Walter
adhered to the bishop, and was given the custody of the
Casde of Eye, in Suffolk; He m. first, Maud, daughter of
Richard de Lucie, with whom he had the lordship of Disce,
in Norfolk, and m. secondly, Margaret de Bohun, and, dying
in 1 198, was succeeded by his eldest son, by his first wife,
who d.mii 40, who was a sister of Geoffrey de Lucie, Bishop
of Winchester :
Robert Fitz-W alter, lord of Dunmow, leader of the
Barons who secured the Magna Charta from King John, and
styled Marshal of the Army of God and the Holy Church.
The first public act recorded of this subsequendy important
Baron, who was castellan and standard-bearer of the city
of London, conveys at first a bad impression of him. It is
recorded that "in 5 John (1203) Robert Fitz-Walter, being
trusted, together with Saier de Quincey, to keep the casde
of Ruil, in France, delivered it up to the king of that realm
so soon as he came before it with an army." This appears
92 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS'
to imply not less of disloyalty than of cowardice; but a
short time proved to which of these motives it was to be as-
signed. At that time the Barons, not only those at home
but those abroad, were preparing to try to compel King
John to keep his promises in the matter of the proposed
statutes, and several conspiracies to this end were discov-
ered, wherein Robert Fitz-Walter was materially concerned.
On the discovery of his treasonable practices, Fitz-Walter,
with his wife and children, sought an asylum in France ; but
in the following year, 12 13, his friends persuaded him to
return home, and with the other Barons he was reconciled
to King John. But this friendship was only of short dura-
tion, for shortly it was again discovered that he was still
plotting against the king in the interests of reform in the
government, so his residence in London, the Casde of Bay-
nard, was, in consequence, entirely destroyed, and the hatred
between John and Fitz-Walter was violent in the greatest
degree. Tradition has assigned a disgraceful act on the
part of King John as the principal cause of this, which was
no less than an attempt to procure Fitz-Walter's daughter,
Maud, for one of his concubines. But whether this is truth
or fiction, Fitz-Walter's opposition seemed to be dominated
by the desire for the Magna Charta, and his feelings and
conduct were engulfed in the agitated sea of history which
opened at this period.
To endeavor to win him over to his side. King John pre-
tended to admire Fitz-Walter's skill, prowess, and valor in a
tournament, which took place in Normandy, before the courts
of the kings of England and France, and, making this an
excuse, restored to him the whole of his forfeited estates
and permitted him to repair his destroyed fortresses, and
constituted him governor of Hertford Casde, 12 14-15. But
Fitz-Walter's heart was still in the cause of the Barons, and
he was soon again in open opposition to the king. His lands
BIOGRAPHIES OF THE SURETIES 93
were again seized, which course effectually secured him to
the discontented Barons and the people. The active spirit
of Fitz-Walter made him a desirable leader to their party,
and he was selected as one of the commissioners to
treat of a composure of differences at a meeting at Erith
Church, to which he had letters of safe-conduct, and sub-
sequendy he was formally elected their leader under the
title of " Marshal of God and the Holy Church in England."
To relate his subsequent connection with the efforts to pro-
cure the Magna Charta, of which he was one of the twenty-
five celebrated Sureties, would be to repeat the story of this
period.
After the granting of the Magna Charta, when King John
endeavored to elude his promises, Fitz-Walter was one of the
committee of the baronial party which went to France to invite
the Dauphin to accept the throne of England, and on this
prince's coming he, with William de Mandeville and William
de Huntingfield, reduced the counties of Essex and Suffolk
to the authority of the Dauphin. Upon the accession of
Henry III., Fitz-Walter, then a prisoner, with the majority
of the Barons, finding the Dauphin a useless political factor,
dropped him, and returned to their allegiance, and engaged
to ship him back to France. However, as the civil conflict
was renewed, we find Fitz-Walter again in arms. One of
the haughty and ambitious spirits yet unconquered by the
king was Saher de Quincey. He would not yield the casde
of Mountsorrel, in Leicestershire. When William Marshall,
the Protector, proceeded with part of the royal army to be-
siege it, de Quincey called on his fellow-Sureties to assist
him. They raised a force of about twenty thousand armed
men and placed themselves under the leadership of the
Dauphin, and Fitz-Walter appears as one of his principal
generals. The two armies met and fought the battle of

This Baron had his most distinguished ancestry on his
mother's side. She was Hawyse, widow of William de
Mandeville, Earl of Essex and Earl of Albemarle, jure
uxoris, who d. s. p. 1190, and daughter and coheiress of
William le Grosse, third Earl of Albemarle and Earl of
York, a person of great note in the period in which he
lived. In 1 1 38 he defeated the Scots under King David at
North Allerton, when they had invaded England and claimed
Northumberland, and for his gallantry upon this occasion he
was rewarded with the earldom of York. He flf. 1 1 79, leaving
issue by his wife Cicily, daughter of William Fitz-Duncan
(nephew of Malcom III., King of Scots) by his wife Alice,
daughter of Robert de Romely, lord of Skipton, in Craven,

was Earl of Albemarle, in right of his wife, and was consti-

a son, William, who was the youngest of the Sureties for

William de Fortibus became of age in 12 14-15, when
King John confirmed to him all the lands which accrued to
him by inheritance from his mother, and he succeeded in her
right as Earl of Albemarle, or Aumerle, in Normandy. He
arrayed himself on the side of the Barons in their conten-
tions with King John, and was one of the celebrated twenty-
five chosen to enforce the observance of the Magna Charta,
but he subsequently deserted the Barons and joined King

John in his expedition into the north, so marked by spoil
and rapine. For his services the king granted him all the
lands belonging to his sister Alice, then wife of William
Marshall, Jr., and constituted him, in 1218, governor of the
castles of Rockingham, in Northamptonshire, Sauvey, in
Leicestershire, and Botham, in Lincolnshire, with strict com-
mand to destroy all the houses, parks, and possessions of
those Barons who were in arms against the king. In the
reign of Henry III. this nobleman fought under the royal
banner at the batde of Lincoln, and shared largely in the
spoils of victory. He was subsequendy alternately for and
against the king. His rapacious personal excursions being
opposed by the king, his submission was procured only by
excommunication. In 1230 he was one of the commanders
of the royal troops in Normandy, and in 1241, having set
out on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he died on the Med-
iterranean Sea, March 29. He m. Aveline, sister and co-

WILLIAM DE HARDELL
But very litde is known of the antecedents of this Surety,
nor, in fact, of himself He was the mayor of the city of
London (the first mayor by popular election of the citizens)
at the time of the insurrection of the Barons, and very likely
induced the citizens to deliver up one of the gates of the
city, Aldgate, to the Barons, through which they entered the
city, Sunday morning, May 24, 121 5, while the people were
at mass, and, for the part he took in subsequent proceed-
ings, was elected one of the Sureties for the observance of
the Magna Charta. There is no evidence that he was even
a feudal Baron, and, being a civil officer of so early a period,
there is some doubt as to his arms. He served as sheriff of
the city of London, in 1 207. It is not known that he had
descendants. For several years, temp. Henry III., Richard,
or Ralph, Hardell, a draper, was mayor of London. He
may have been a descendant, but his arms were different.
A William Hardell was clerk of the wardrobe to Henry III.
in 1245-6, and a John Hardell was elected in 1246-7, on
the king's writ, to be keeper of the die of the mint of Lon-
don. A family of this surname held many estates in County
Essex, in 1284-5. His surname is sometimes given as
Hadel.

WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD
Roger de Huntingfield, who held the manor of Hunt-
ingfield, in County Suffolk, as undertenant, temp. Henry I.,
of Robert Malet, was apparendy first to assume this sur-
name, and was the founder of this family. His son, Wil-
liam DE Huntingfield, d. i Henry II., 1155, having a son
and successor, Roger de Huntingfield, whose eldest
son:
William de Huntingfield, was one of the celebrated
twenty-five Sureties. In 5 John, 1203-4, he was constable
of Devon Castle, and took the usual oath of office before
the king, and delivered his son to the Earl of Arundel and
his daughter to the Earl of Ferrers, as hostages for his good
faith. Five years after this he was one of the itinerant jus-
tices, at Lincoln, and some time was high sheriff of Norfolk
and Suffolk, until the end of 1 2 1 3-14, 1 5 John. He was gov-
ernor of Sauvey Casde, in Leicestershire, when he joined the
cause of the Barons in arms against King John, and, having
been elected one of the twenty-five to govern the kingdom,
was excommunicated by the Pope, and his lands given to
Nicholas de Haya. He seems partly to have returned to
his allegiance, since, in 1 2 1 6, King John restored to him the
manor of Clayford, in Hants. But he does not seem to
have been thoroughly reconstructed to the satisfaction of the
Protector, Earl of Pembroke, as his possessions in several
counties were transferred to John Marshall, but they were
probably restored at the general amnesty.
Very likely the cause of the Protector's severity towards
this baron was that he was one of those who plotted to have
the Dauphin come to England, and after his landing was

very active in reducing the counties of Essex and Suffolk
to his authority. He was one of the witnesses to the
Charter King John granted in 1 2 1 4, allowing free ecclesias-

possessions were all seized into the king's hands during the
interdict, and subsequendy were granted to William.

The widow, Albreda, whose surname has not been pre-

Casde, Yorkshire, temp. Henry II., m, secondly, Kudo de
Lisours, and had by him an only daughter and heiress, Al-
breda, who m. first, Richard Fitz-Eustace, lord of Halton and
constable of Chester, and had by him a son and heir :
John de Lacie, who inherited the baronies of Halton and
Pontefract, with the constableship of Chester, and assumed
the surname de Lacie. He d. in the Holy Land, 1179,
having issue by his wife, Alice de Vere :
Roger de Lacie, lord of Halton and Pontefract and con-
stable of Chester. In 1192 he assisted at the siege of
Agon, under Richard the Lion-Hearted, and shared in the
subsequent triumphs of this chivalrous monarch. At the
accession of John he was a person of great eminence, and
was one of the noblemen who escorted William of Scodand
to Lincoln to confer with King John, and the next year he
was present, also at Lincoln, when David of Scodand did
homage and fealty to King John. Receiving word that the
Earl of Chester, who had invaded Wales, was forced to take
refuge in Rothelan Casde, where he was closely besieged by
the Welsh, as constable, Roger de Lacie collected all the
men of all descriptions attending a public fair at Chester,
and marched to his relief, and upon their approach the
Welshmen fled. For this timely service the Earl of Chester
conferred upon de Lacie and his heirs the patronage of all
minstrels in those parts, as many of the rescuing force were
simply minstrels, musicians, and actors, which patronage the
BIOGRAPHIES OF THE SURETIES lOI
constable transferred to his steward, Dutton, and his heirs,
and it was long enjoyed by them.
He d. in 121 1, having issue by his wife Alice, daughter of
Geoffrey, third Baron Mandeville, hereditary sheriff of
London and Middlesex, and sheriff of Hertfordshire,
created Earl of Essex by King Stephen, by his first wife,
whose name has not been preserved :
John de Lacie, Baron of Halton and hereditary con-
stable of Chester, who, in 15 John, undertook the payment
of seven thousand marks (four thousand six hundred and
sixty-six pounds) in the space of four years, for livery of
the lands of his inheritance, and to be discharged of all his
father's debts, further obliging himself by oath, that in case
he should ever swerve from his allegiance all his possessions
should devolve upon the crown ; promising also that he
would not marry without the king's license. By this agree-
ment it was arranged that the king should retain the castles
of Pontefract and Dunnington, and that de Lacie should
pay him rent for their use. This was a hard bargain, and it
is not surprising that shortly afterwards he joined the baro-
nial standard as one of the earliest who took up arms, and
was elected one of the Sureties for the observance of the
Magna Charta. He was also appointed to see that the new
statutes were properly carried into effect and observed in
the counties of York and Nottingham, and was, of course,
excommunicated by the Pope. Upon the accession of
Henry III. he joined a party of noblemen and made a pil-
grimage to the Holy Land, and did good service at the
siege of Damietta.
During the dispute between Henry III. and Richard, lord
marshal, John de Lacie remained attached to the king, prob-
ably because of his gratitude, as this monarch had created
him, by charter dated November 23, 1232, Earl of Lincoln,
with remainder to the heirs of his body, by his wife Marga-

ret, in whose right only he had previously enjoyed the title.
In 1237 the Earl was one of those appointed to prohibit
Otto, the Pope's legate, from establishing anything derog-
atory to the king's crown and dignity, in the great council
of English prelates, and was deputed with the marshal to
protect the legate as he went to and from the council. In
this year, and in 1 240, he had a grant of the sheriffalty of
Chester, and was made governor of Chester and Beeston
Castle. He d. July 22, 1240, and was buried in the Cister-
cian Abbey of Stanlaw, in the county of Chester.
John de Lacie, Earl of Lincoln, m. first, Alice, daughter of
Gilbert d'Aquila, but had no issue by her. He m. secondly,
after his marked gallantry at the siege of Damietta, Marga-
ret, the only daughter and heiress of Robert de Quincey, a
fellow-crusader, who died in the Holy Land, eldest son of
Saier de Quincey, Earl of Winchester, one of the twenty-
five Sureties for the Magna Charta. Her mother was
Hawyse, a sister and coheiress of Ranulph de Meschines,
fourth Earl of Chester and Lincoln, and daughter of Hugh,
third Earl of Chester. Earl Ranulph, by a formal charter,
granted the earldom of Lincoln to said Hawyse, so that she
could be a countess and that her heirs might enjoy the earl-
dom, which grant was confirmed by the king, and at the
especial request of the Countess of Lincoln, John de Lacie,
her son-in-law, was created Earl of Lincoln, in 1232. John,
Earl of Lincoln, had by Lady Margaret, who survived him,
and m. secondly, William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke :
Edmund de Lacie, second Earl of Lincoln, d. 1257. He is
called the second Earl, although the title was never attrib-
uted to him in any charter, by reason that he died before
his mother, through whom the dignity came. Dugdale
states that he married, in 1247, "an oudandish lady from
the parts of Savoy, brought over purposely for him by Peter
de Savoy, uncle to the queen, which occasioned much dis

content amongst the nobles of England/' This lady was
Alice, daughter of the Marquess of Saluces, in Italy, and a
cousin of the queen.
Maud, wife of Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester.
John, Earl of Lincoln, was promised the marriage of his
eldest daughter to Richard de Clare, in the event of the
king not marrying him to a daughter of the Earl of March,
and for this grant he engaged to pay five thousand marks.
This agreement, having been made without the consent of
the Barons, excited considerable dissatisfaction, especially in
the elder de Clare.

This Baron was the son of William de Lanvallei, feudal
lord of Hallingbury and Stanway, in County Essex, who d.
12 John, I2IO-II, and whose estates do not appear to have
been of any very considerable extent, since his widow paid
only two hundred marks (;^i 33-6-8) for their delivery.
William de Lanvallei, the younger, in 17 John, 121 5-16,
was governor of Colchester Castle when he joined the in-
i surgent Barons, who constituted him one of the twenty-five
elected to govern the kingdom, and he was likewise a party
to that Covenant which yielded to them the city and Tower
of London. He appears to have been reconciled to Henry
III. at the great treaty in 121 7, but there are no further
particulars extant concerning him.
In 14 John, 1 212-13, Alan Basset, of Wycombe, who is
named in the Magna Charta as one of the king's liegemen,
and also the same in the first Charter of Henry III., dated
November 12, 12 16, gave the king two hundred marks and
" an excellent palfry,*' that his daughter might marry Wil-

relief upon doing his homage. The issue of this marriage

WILLIAM DE MALET
This Surety was the son of Robert de Malet, feudal lord
of the honors of Eye and Huntingfield, in Suffolk, Great
Chamberlain of England, temp. Henry I., who was " banished
and disinherited,*' and who was probably the son or grandson
of William de Malet, one of the commanders in William of
Normandy's army of invasion, and appointed governor of
York Castle, who was probably the brother of King Harold's
wife.
William de Malet appears to be first mentioned as a
minor, in 1194, in an expedition then made into Normandy,
and in the ensuing year he had delivery of his inheritance.
His estates, including the principal one, Curry-Malet, in
Somersetshire, were held by the service of twenty knights'
fees. In 1 210-14 he was sheriff of Somerset and Dor-
set shires, when he joined the Barons in their insurrection.
His lands in four counties were thereupon confiscated and
given to Hugh de Vivonia, his son-in-law, and Thomas Bas-
set, his father-in-law, and he was excommunicated by Pope
Innocent, having become one of the Sureties for the ob-
servance of the Magna Charta. He was also fined two
thousand marks, but which was not paid till after his de-
cease, when one thousand marks were remitted, being found
due to him for military service to King John in Poictou.

by his wife, who predeceased him, daughter of Thomas

Geoffrey de Magnaville, or de Magna Villa, of Nor-

mandy when he invaded and conquered England, and ob-
tained as his share of the spoils of conquest many valuable
manors in a dozen counties, and seated himself at Waldene,
He was constituted constable of the Tower of London for
life, and at his decease was succeeded by his son :
William de Mandeville, who had by his wife Margaret,
only daughter and heiress of Eudo, dapifer or steward to
King William, a daughter, Beatrix de Mandeville (see be-
low), and Geoffrey de Mandeville, who in 5 Stephen had
livery of his inheritance, and was advanced by special char-
ter by King Stephen from the degree of baron by tenure to
the dignity of Earl of Essex, in order to secure his services.
But the Empress Maud, by a more ample charter, allured
him to her party, confirming to him whatsoever his ances-
tors had owned or enjoyed, particularly the Tower of Lon-
don, with the castle under it, to strengthen and fortify at his
pleasure, and bestowed upon him the hereditary sheriffalty
of London and Middlesex and of Hertfordshire, and the
lands and office of Eudo le Dapifer, and numerous other
valuable immunities. As soon as King Stephen heard of this
he seized the earl and made him disgorge everything con-
ferred upon him, or inherited, to regain his liberty. Where-
fore, the earl and his brother-in-law, William de Say, in re-
venge, raided the king's property and churches whenever
they could. At last, being publicly excommunicated for his
many outrages, he besieged Burwell Casde, in Kent, and

ing the tide of Earl of Essex, the king married him, upon
payment of twenty thousand marks, to Isabel, Countess of
Gloucester, third daughter and coheiress of William, second
Earl of Gloucester, which Isabel had first been married to
King John himself, but was repudiated on account of con-
sanguinity, both being great-grandchildren of King Henry
I., and for want of issue. In right of his wife, Geoffrey be-
came Earl of Gloucester, and was put in possession of all
the liberties belonging to the earldom. He was one of the
wealthiest of the Barons opposed to King John, and as he
adhered to them he was excommunicated by the Pope. He
was elected as one of the Sureties for the observance of the
Magna Charta, but only lived a short time, as, in 1 2 1 6, he
was mortally wounded at a tournament in London, and was
interred in the priory of the Holy Trinity, in the suburbs of
the city.
He died without issue, and was succeeded by his brother,

WILLIAM MARSHALL, JR.
An account of this Baron's ancestry has been given in the
sketch of Hugh Bigod. He was the eldest son, and was
commonly called the younger '* Comes Mareschal, Jun.," to
distinguish him from his father, the famous Protector of the
kingdom, and was as strenuous a supporter of the baronial
cause as his father was of the royal interests, and was elected
one of the celebrated Sureties to make his father and King
John observe the Magna Charta, and was excommunicated
by the Pope. Upon the death of King John, the Protector
procured the consent of the Barons to the coronation of
young Henry, requiring the allegiance of the Barons, in-
cluding his son, William, Jr., who, for making his peace, re-
ceived a grant of the lands of Saher de Quincey, David le
Scot, William de Mowbray, and Gilbert de Gant, who re-
fused to lay down their arms against the king, with the fees
of all such as held of them and adhered to the rebellious
Barons. In 1223-4 he returned from Ireland and gained
a great victory over Prince Llewellyn and the Welsh, who
had taken in his absence two of his castles, and was made
governor of the castles of Caerdigan and Caermarthen, and,
in 1230, captain-general of all the king's forces in Bretagne.
The third Earl of Pembroke died in 1231, very wealthy,
but had no issue by his two wives, Alice, daughter of Bald-
win de Bertune, Earl of Albemarle, and Princess Alianore
Plantagenet, who survived him, sister of King Henry III.
and daughter of King John. He was buried near his father,
in the New Temple Church, London, April 14.

ROGER DE MONTBEGON
But little is known of the family of this Baron. He was
the successor of Adam de Monte Begonis, whose principal
lands were in Lincolnshire, and was apparently the son of
this Adam, by his wife, Maud Fitz-Swaine.
During the imprisonment of Richard I. in Germany
Roger de Montbegon seems to have favored Prince John's
designs on the throne, since he was one of those who held
out the castle of Nottingham against the Bishop of Durham,
then vicegerent of the kingdom ; but when the king, on his
return, advanced to besiege that fortress, he came out and
submitted himself, without firing an arrow, and, in 1 197-8,
paid five hundred marks to be reconciled to King Richard,
and have restoration of his lands, which had been seized for
his rebellion.
In the Barons* proceedings to procure the Charter of Lib-
erty from King John, he evidently took some prominent part,
as he was elected one of the twenty-five Sureties for the ob-
servance of the Magna Charta, and was one of the parties
to the Covenant for surrendering the city and Tower of
London into the hands of the Barons, although several lord-
ships were granted or confirmed to him by King John, even
so late as 12 15-16. However, there is no reason to doubt
his original loyalty to the cause of the Barons, for when he
took up arms against the king, his possessions were seized
and given to Oliver d'Albini, whilst he himself was excom-
municated, with the other Barons, by the Pope. He de-
serted the Barons, nevertheless, before the Magna Charta
was confirmed a year, and Roger de Mowbray was substi-
tuted for him in the conunittee of Sureties. He became
112 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
reconciled to Henry III., and in 1219-20 his lands were
again confirmed to him.
Roger de Montbegon d. 10 Henry III., 1225-6, and was
succeeded by his cousin, Henry de Montbegon, having had
no issue by his wife Olivia, m. about 1 200, widow of Robert
de St. John. This surname is variously written. In the an-
cient list of Securities for the Magna Charta, in the Harleian
MSS., it is de Mumbezon, while Matthew Paris writes it de
Montbegon and Mount Begon, and in the Covenant he
seems properly called de Monte Begonis.

Richard de Montfichet was under age at the time of his
father's-death, and his wardship was committed to Roger de
Lacie, constable of Chester. As he did not become of age
until in the spring of 121 5, his first public act appears to
have been joining the baronial party in arms against the
king, and for some reason not evident he was chosen as one
of the twenty- five Sureties for the observance of the Magna
Charta and to govern the realm. The next year he went
with Robert Fitz-Walter into France, to solicit aid, and con-
tinued one of the most enthusiastic of the Barons until he
was taken prisoner at Lincoln. Even after he was released
he attended the tournament at Blithe, 7 Henry III., contrary
to the king's prohibition, for which his lands were seized.
He subsequently made peace with the king, and was, in
1236-7, constituted justice of the king's forests for nine-
teen counties of England, and, in 1 241-2, was made sheriff
of Essex and governor of Hertford Castle.
Richard de Montfichet never married, and died, with-
out issue, after 1258, and his lands were divided between his
three sisters.

less than a year after his election as one of the original

WILLIAM DE MOWBRAY
Roger d'Albini was the father, by his wife, a sister of
Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, of two dis-
tinguished sons, — William " Pincerna Henrici Regis Anglo-
rum," the king's butler, ancestor of the ancient Earls of
Arundel, and
Sir Nigel d'Albini, who came to England with the Con-
queror, and obtained several extensive lordships after the
victory at Hastings. In the reign of Rufus, he was bow-
bearer to the king, and was knighted by Henry I., who con-
ferred many grants and favors upon him, and so attached
him to the interests of his sovereign that he served him
faithfully in his cause against Robert Curthose, his brother,
whom he captured and delivered over to King Henry, for
which he had further rich grants of confiscated manors. For
distinguished military services in Normandy he was remu-
nerated by a royal grant of the forfeited lands and castles of
his maternal uncle, Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northum-
berland, both in Normandy and in England, with the castle of
Bayeux. These grants made him the possessor of two hun-
dred and forty knights* fees, and consequently one of the
most influential Barons of his time. He died at an ad-
vanced age, and was buried with his ancestors in the Abbey
of Bee, in Normandy.
Sir Nigel d'Albini m. first, his aunt, Maud, daughter of
Richard d* Aquila, by papal dispensation, her husband, Robert
de Mowbray, aforesaid, being then alive, but in prison for
rebellion. From her, by whom he had no issue, he was sep-
arated by the Pope on account of consanguinity and the
Il6 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
scandal the marriage caused. He m. secondly, in 1118,
Gundreda, daughter of Gerald, or Gerard, de Gournay, d.
1096, by his wife, Edith, daughter of William de Warren,
first Earl of Surrey, d. 1088, and his wife, Gundreda, alleged
daughter of Matilda, Queen Consort of King William the
Conqueror, and had by this lady :
Roger de Mowbray, eldest son, who, succeeding to the
lands of Mumbray, or Mowbray, assumed by royal command
the surname of Mowbray. When he was not yet of age he
was one of the chief commanders in the celebrated Batde of
the Standard, with the Scots, in 1 1 38 ; and adhering to King
Stephen, in his contest with the Empress Maud, he was
taken prisoner with the king at the battle of Lincoln. In
1 148 he accompanied Louis VII. of France to the Holy
Land and acquired great renown. He was afterwards in-
volved in the rebellion of Prince Henry against King Henry
II., and lost some of his casdes. Subsequendy his grants to
the Church were munificent and his religious enthusiasm
so fervent that he again assumed the cross and went to
the Holy Land, where he was captured, but was redeemed
by the Knights Templars. Dying soon afterwards in the
East, he was buried at Sures. Some historians state he
died in England and was buried in the Abbey of Riland.
He m. Alice daughter of Gilbert de Gant, or Gaunt, of
Folkingham, a companion of the Conqueror, son of Baldwin
VI., eighth Earl of Flanders and Artois, by his wife, Richil-
dis. Countess of Hainault and Namur, and had :
Nigel de Mowbray, who, like his father, was a crusader,
and died on his pilgrimage, 1 192-3. He m. Mabel, daugh-
ter of Roger, Earl of Clare and Hertford, and had :
William de Mowbray, eldest son, who was of age in
1 194-5, 2tnd next year, or 6 Richard I., when a scutage was
levied for the king's ransom, he was one of the securities
for its payment. He was early embittered against King
BIOGRAPHIES OF THE SURETIES II 7
John by being compelled by him to surrender the barony of
Fronteboeuf, which Henry I. had conferred on his great-
grandfather, Nigel d'Albini, to a descendant of the original
owner. This was probably because de Mowbray, upon the
accession of King John, was tardy in pledging his allegiance,
and at length only swore fealty upon condition that " the
king should render to every man his right." At the break-
ing out of the baronial war he was governor of York Castle,
and it is not surprising that he at once sided with the Barons
against King John, and was one of the most forward of them.
He was elected one of the Sureties for the Magna Charta,
and was a party to the Covenant for holding the city and
Tower of London, and one of those whom Pope Innocent
III. excommunicated by name. He still continued in arms
after the decease of King John, and was in the battle of
Lincoln, and taken prisoner there, when his lands were con-
fiscated and bestowed upon William Marshall, Jr., but he
was subsequently allowed to redeem them. After this he
attached himself to Henry III., and was with him at the siege
of Bitham Castle, in Lincolnshire, and, dying 1223-4 (about
8 Henry III.), in the Isle of Axholme, was buried in the
Abbey of Newburgh, in Yorkshire.

William de Percy, who accompanied William of Nor-

designation " Alsgernons," with the whiskers. He received
a barony from the Conqueror, and refounded the Abbey of
St Hilda, in Yorkshire. He accompanied Duke Robert in
the first crusade, and died in 1096-7, at Mountjoy, near
Jerusalem, having issue by his wife, Emma de Port, of a
Saxon family, whose lands were among those bestowed upon
him by the Conqueror, ** he wedded hyr that was very heire

the decease without issue of his aunt, Countess of Warwick,
entered, by the king's advice and his mother's license, into
her share of the Percy inheritance, and soon received the
major part of his mother's, and continued for the balance of
his life at the head of the family and enjoyed all its baronial
rights. He was one of the first of the powerful feudal lords
who took up arms against King John in the cause of a con-
stitutional government, and, having a principal hand in ex-
torting the great charter of English freedom, was chosen
one of the twenty-five Sureties to see that it was duly ob-
served, and was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. He
was appointed by the Barons, with Robert de Ros, a Surety,
and Peter de Brus, or Bruce, to subject Yorkshire to the •
allegiance of the Dauphin of France. He became recon-
ciled to Henry III., as in 12 18 he was in arms for this

I20 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
SAHER DE QUINCEY
The pedigree of this distinguished Baron is brief and
modest, beginning only with his father :
Saier de Quincey, who had a grant from Henry II. of the
manor of Bushby, Northamptonshire. He m. Maud de St.
Liz, probably a daughter of Simon de St Liz, a noble Nor-
man, who was created Earl of Northampton and Hunting-
don, and his wife Maud, daughter and coheiress of Waltheof,
first Earl of Northampton and Northumberland, who, con-
spiring against the Normans, was beheaded, in 1075, at
Winchester, although his wife was a niece of the Conqueror.
Waltheof was the son of Syward, the celebrated Saxon Earl
of Northumberland.
Saher de Quincey, a son of the aforesaid, was one of the
Barons present at Lincoln when William the Lion, of Scot-
land, did homage to the English monarch. He subsequently
obtained large grants and immunities from King John, and
was created Earl of Winchester before 12 10, having been in
1 203 governor of the castle of Ruil, in Normandy. He was
one of the first Barons to contend for the Charter of Lib-
erty, and is credited with having rewritten it from the Charter
of Henry I. and the Saxon code, and, opposing the king's
concession to the Pope's legate, had the bitter hatred oif
King John, and was very active in the conferences between
the Barons and the king. But though the king made him,
in 1 2 15, governor of Mountsorell Castle, he was one of the
Barons to whom the city and Tower of London were re-
signed, and elected one of the twenty-five Barons who were
to enforce the Magna Charta and govern the kingdom, being
excommunicated with the other Barons in the following year.
BIOGRAPHIES OF THE SURETIES 121
He was sent, with Robert Fitz-Walter, by the other Barons
to invite the Dauphin of France to assume the crown of
England, and even after the death of King John he kept a
strong garrison in Mountsorell Castle, on behalf of Prince
Louis. The fortress being besieged and nearly captured by
a division of the troops of Henry III., the Earl of Winchester
and Prince Louis gathered a large force in London, and,
having raised the siege, marched to Lincoln, then also sur-
rounded by the king's army. In the general battle which
followed, the Barons were defeated, being greatly outnum-
bered, and Saher de Quincey, with numerous others, was
made prisoner and his estates forfeited. In the following
October his immense estates were restored upon his sub-
mission.
In 1 2 1 8 the Earl of Winchester went with the Earls of
Chester and Arundel to the Holy Land, where he assisted
at the siege of Damietta, 12 19, and died in the same year in
his progress towards Jerusalem. He m. before 6 John, 1 204,
Margaret, youngest sister and coheiress of Robert Fitz-
Parnell, last Earl of Leicester, by whom he acquired a very
considerable inheritance, and daughter of Robert-blanch-
mains de Bellomont, or Beaumont, third Earl of Leicester,
lord high steward of England, d. 1196 (and his wife, m.
1 1 67, Petronella, daughter of Hugh de Grentemaisnil, lord
high steward of England, d. s. p. tn. 1098), son of Robert-
bossu, second Earl of Leicester, Justiciary of England, d.
1 1 68, by his wife Aurelia, or Amicia, daughter of Ralph de
Gauder, Earl of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridge, who for-
feited in 1074.
Saher, or Saier, or Saerus (his singular Christian name
was probably a corruption from the Hebrew Zair^ affliction ;
or of the Saxon Segher^ a conqueror) de Quincey, Earl of
Winchester, had issue by Lady Margaret :

John de Lacie, Earl of Lincoln, one of the celebrated twenty-
five Magna Charta Sureties.

father's lands, although his elder brother was alive in the
Holy Land, and succeeded to the earldom of Winchester,
and in right of his first wife, daughter of Alan, lord of Gal-

ROBERT DE ROS
Peter de Ros, or Roos, feudal Baron of the lordship of
Roos, in Holderness, temp. Henry I., is the first authenti-
cated ancestor of this Surety. He m. Adeline, one of the
sisters and coheirs of Walter d'Espec, lord of the manor of
Helmeslac (Hamlake), or Helmesly, in the North Riding
of Yorkshire, and had :
Robert de Ros, lord of Hamlake, who was a munificent
benefactor to the Knights Templars. He d, about 11 60,
having issue by his wife, Sybil de Valoines (who after his
decease m, Ralph d'Albini) :
EvERARD de Ros, Lord of Hamlake, who seems to have
been very wealthy, as in 11 76 he paid the then very large
sum of five hundred and twenty-six pounds as a fine for his
lands, and other large amounts subsequently. He m. Rose,
one of the daughters and coheiress of William de Trus-
but, lord of Wartre, in Holderness, East Riding, 11 39, and,
dying in 1 1 86, had :
Robert de Ros, of Furfan, fourth Baron Ros, of Hamlake,
b. 1 1 77, who, 2 Richard I., 11 90-91, paid a thousand marks
fine for livery of his lands, although only thirteen years old.
In 8 Richard he, being with the king in Normandy, was
arrested, 1197, for what offence it does not appear, he was
not yet twenty-one, and committed to the custody of Hugh
de Chaumont, but Chaumont trusting his prisoner to Wil-
liam de Spiney, the latter allowed him to escape out of the
castie of Bonville. King Richard thereupon hanged Spiney
and collected a fine of twelve hundred marks — eight hundred
pounds — from Ros's guardian as the price of his continued
freedom.
124 THE MAGNA CHARTA BARONS
Upon the accession of King John, this monarch, to con-
ciliate him, gave Ros the whole barony of his great-grand-
mother's father, Walter d'Espec, to enjoy in as large and
ample a manner as Espec ever held it. Soon afterwards he
was deputed one of those to escort William the Lion, King
of Scotland, into England, to swear fealty to King John.
About 14 John, Robert de Ros assumed the habit of a
monk, whereupon the custody of all his lands and Castle
Werke, in Northumberland, were committed to Philip
d'Ulcote, or Olcott, but he did not long continue a recluse,
as in about a year, 1 2 1 2-1 5, he was executing the office of
high sheriff of County Cumberland.
At the commencement of the struggle of the Barons for
a constitutional government, this feudal Baron at first sided
with King John, and in consequence obtained some valuable
grants from the crown, and was made governor of Carlisle ;
but he was subsequently won over by the Barons and be-
came one of the celebrated twenty-five appointed to enforce
the observance of the Magna Charta, the county of North-
umberland being placed under his supervision. He re-
turned to his allegiance in the reign of Henry III., for in
12 1 7-18 his manors were restored to him, and although he
was a witness to the Great and the Forest Charters of 1224,
he seems to have been in favor with that prince.
He erected the castles of Helmesley, or Hamlake, in
Yorkshire, and of Werke, in Northumberland, and was a
member of the Order of the Knights Templars. He d, 1 1
Henry III., 1226-7, and was buried " in his proper habit" in
the church of the New Temple, at London, where his tomb
is yet extant. His effigy is described by Gough, in " Sepul-

in the Temple Church, representing a comely young knight
in mail, and a flowing mantle with a kind of cowl ; his hair
neatly curled at the sides, his crown appears shaved. His

only child of William Tyson, Saxon Lord of Alnwick, in
Northumberland, and lord of Malton, Yorkshire, whose
father, Gilbert Tyson, was slain at the battle of Hastings,
fighting under the Anglo-Saxon banner. The only issue of
this marriage was another heiress :
Beatrix de Vesci, who m. as his first wife, Eustacius Fitz-
John de Burgo, lord of Knaresborough, in Yorkshire, who
was the nephew and heir of Serlo de Burgh, who erected
Knaresborough Castle, and the son of John-monoculus, a
great feudal Baron, and friend of Henry L, who gave him
great grants of land and the governorship of Bamburgh
Castle, in Northumberland ; but he was deprived of the
latter by King Stephen, although his wife, Magdalen, was
the king's aunt. John-with-one-eye was the son of Eusta-

was the mother of William the Conqueror, and son of John ^
de Burgo, Earl of Comyn and Baron of Tonsburgh (Tour- *

daughter he had married, but shortly he became intimately
connected with the rise and progress of the baronial insur-
rections. In 1 2 1 2 he and Robert Fitz- Walter, upon being
required to give security for their faithful allegiance, fled to
Scotland. His English possessions were seized and his cas-
tle of Alnwick was ordered to be destroyed. This and King
John's incontinence and vitiating reputation so embittered de
Vesci that he became the most inveterate of the king's ene-
mies and a principal leader in the insurrection, and took a
prominent part in all their conventions, and was elected one
of the twenty-five Sureties for the observance of the Magna
Charta. He was one of the Barons to whom the city and
Tower of London were committed ; was excommunicated,
and was one of those who urged the Dauphin to come to
England. In attending his brother-in-law, Alexander, king
of the Scots, to welcome Prince Louis, and to do him hom-

Hertford, and Gloucester, d. 1295. He m. May 2, 1290,
as his second wife, the Princess Joan d'Acre, d. 1305,
daughter of Edward I., King of England, and his first
wife, Eleanor of Castile, and had by her :
5. Lady Alianore de Clare, who m. May i, 1306, as
her first husband, Hugh le Despencer, Jr., one of the
hapless favorites of King Edward I. He was the son of
Hugh le Despencer and his wife. Lady Isabel de Beau-
champ, and widow of Patrick de Chaworth, whom he m.
without license and was heavily fined by King Edward I.
Hugh Spencer, the elder, to the very close of the reign
of Edward I., enjoyed the favor of the king. When the
Spencers, father and son, attained extraordinary eminence
and influence with Edward II., the indignant Barons as-
sembled and marched to St. Albans, whence they sent to
Edward II. a demand that the Spencers should be banished.
This the king declined to do, and thereupon the Barons, under
Lancaster, proceeded towards London to seize it. The
king then, at the instance of the queen, acquiesced, where-
upon the Barons called a parliament and the Spencers were
banished by them. However, the king soon raised an
army, recalled the Spencers, and gave them important com-
mands, and encountered and defeated the Barons at Bor-
oughbridge. The Spencers now became more powerful
than before, and the elder Hugh was created Earl of Win-
chester, and loaded with grants of forfeited estates. Hugh,
Jr., also obtained many valuable grants, and the two used
their influence to have the queen and the young prince
banished as traitors. When the excitement had somewhat
subsided the queen returned, rallied the defeated Barons
about her, and marched to Bristol, where the king and his
favorites were. They seized Hugh, the elder, and hanged
him, in October, 1326. Hugh, Jr., and the king escaped, but
were shortly captured, and by the queen's order his Maj-
MEMBERS OF THE ORDER OF RUNNEMEDE 223
esty was consigned to Berkeley Casde, and was murdered
the next year, and Hugh, Jr., was sentenced " to be drawn
upon a hurdle, with trumps and trumpets, throughout all
the city of Hereford," and was then hanged and quartered
November 29, 1326. Thus terminated two of the most
celebrated royal favorites in the history of England.

James Dunlop was the son of John Dunlop, of London,
England (and his wife, Mary Ruffin Gilliam, of Virginia),
son of James and Marian (Buchanan) Dunlop, son of Colin
and Martha (Bogle) Dunlop. Colin Dunlop, 6. January 7,
1 706, was the thirteenth child of James Dunlop, second laird
of Garnkirke, who bore for arms : Ar.^ an eagle displayed,

The original name of the Dunlop family was de Morville,
from the barony of Morville, in Normandy. When Prince
David, lord of Cumberland, succeeded, in 1 100, his brother
as King of Scotland, Hugh, Baron de Morville, went with
him and was created feudal lord of Cuningham and con-
stable of Scodand, and conferred on his younger brother
the lands and barony of Dunlop, in Cuningham, and the
office of huntsman, from whence Dunlop was called Hunt-
hall. Another younger branch of de Morville remained in

Cumberland, and of this was Hugh de Morville, one of the
four lords in waiting to Henry II. He had only one daugh-
ter, who, by marriage, carried his baronies into her husband's
family. The elder branch of Cuningham also became ex-
tinct in the male line after three generations. Hugh was
succeeded by his son Richard, who was succeeded by his
son William, whose daughter and heiress married Alan, lord
of Galloway, and through her daughter the lordship of Cun-
ingham came to the royal family of Baliol, and after to the
royal family of Stuart, and is now part of the principality of
Scotland.
The only male line of de Morville now remaining is in the
line of William de Dunlop, lord of Dunlop in 1260. His
son Robert had : Nigel, who had : John, who had : James
de Dunlop, who forfeited the barony of Dunlop for adhering
to the royal family of Baliol, and it was granted to the Earls
of Douglas, but was afterwards restored to the family of
Dunlop. In 1407 John de Dunlop succeeded in the barony,
and in 1424 his son Alexander succeeded, who in 1471 was
succeeded by his son Constantine, and in 1476 was suc-
ceeded by his son Constantine de Dunlop, of Dunlop, who
was succeeded in 1489 by his son Constantine (whose
daughter Jane married James Stuart, lord of Bute, grand-
son of King Robert II. and ancestor to the Earls of Bute),
whose son, John de Dunlop, succeeded in 1 507. He m. Lady
Marion, daughter of the Earl of Douglas, in 1492, and was
succeeded by his son Alexander, who m. Lady Helen Cun-
ingham, daughter of the Earl of Glencairn. In 1549 his
son James succeeded. He m, Isabel Hamilton, of Orbus-
ton, and had James and Alan. Alan was a rich merchant
and the provost of Irvine, Ayrshire, whose daughter Bessie
married, first, John Maxwell, a merchant of Glasgow, who
bequeathed her all his property, with which the lands and
barony of Garnkirke were bought from the archbishop of

gow in some of the old papers. Of this marriage there
were six sons and three daughters. James Dunlop, afore-
said, was his eldest son and the second laird of Garnkirke,
succeeded in 1697. He was also a lawyer, and m. in 1689,

George County in 1779, and his first wife, Anne, daughter
of William Gilliam. He was a brother of Brigadier-Gen-
eral Charles Harrison and Benjamin Harrison, governor of
