He was, accordingly, on 13 Nov 1362, createdin full Parliament, DUKE OF CLARENCE ('de Clarentia'). He had, when amere child, been made Guardian of England, 1 Jul 1345 and 25 Jun 1346,and had (as Earl of Ulster), probably shortly before Apr 1361, beennominated KG; Chief Governor of Ireland, 1 Jul 1361064, again 1364-5, andagain for some part of 1367.

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

Lionel Plantagenet, b. 29 November, 1338 (of Antwerp), 3rd son of KingHenry III, who became jure uxoris, Earl of Ulster, and was created 15September, 1362, Duke of Clarence.* The prince was likewise a knight ofthe Garter, he had an only child by the heiress of Ulster, PhilippaPlantagenet, who m. Edmond Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. About four yearsafter the death of the Duchess Elizabeth (25 April, 1368), King Edwardconcluded the terms of a new marriage for his son, the Duke of Clarence,with Violanta, or Jolantis, the dau. of Galeas, prince of Milan, andsister to John Galeas, who subsequently became 1st Duke of Milan. Thebargain, for such it was in the strictest meaning of the word, was struckat Windsor, upon which occasion the wealthy and munificent Prince Galeaspaid down for his daughter's dowry, the sum of 100,000 florins. This,however, was but a prelude to the unbounded munificence with which hereceived his son-in-law and his small but chosen retinue of Englishnobles, who in number amounted to about 200. When the duke married hisaffianced bride on 15 June, 1368, the luxury of the various feasts thatfollowed upon the nuptial and the richness of the gifts presented byGaleas to the bridegroom and his followers were such as fairly toconfound the imagination. The whole scene, as described by Paulus Jovius,is only to be paralleled by the wild dreamings of some eastern story. Atone banquet, when the celebrated Petrarch was present, thirty coursessucceeded each other, all composed of the choicest viands that the earthor sea could supply, and between each course, as many rare gifts werebrought in by Galeas himself and presented by him to Clarence.

'But not five months after, the Duke of Clarence (having lived with thisnew wife after the manner of his own country, forgetting, or notregarding the change of air, and addicting himself to immoderatefeasting), spent and consumed with a lingering disease, departed thisworld at Alba Pompeia, called also Longuevil, in the Marquisate ofMontserrat, in Piedmont, on the vigil of St. Luke the Evangelist, viz.,the 17th day of October, anno 1368.'

The duke was first buried in the city of Pavia, but was afterwardsbrought over to England by Thomas Narbonne and others of the retinue, whohad accompanied him in his nuptial expedition. The body was then conveyedto the church of the Augustine Friars, at Clare, in Suffolk, and finallydeposited near the remains of his 1st wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Violantaherself was afterwards m. to Otho, Marquis of Montserrat, but as thechronicler quaintly observes, her 2nd marriage was not more fortunatethan her first; -- Otho soon perished ignobly in the mountains, beingslain by a country stable-keeper.

At the death of Lionel, the Dukedom of Clarence became extinct.

* The title of Clarence was derived from the honour of Clare. [SirBernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd.,London, 1883, p. 434, Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence]

Lionel of Antwerp, duke of Clarence, also called (1346-62) EARL OF ULSTER(b. Nov. 29, 1338, Antwerp--d. Oct. 17, 1368, Alba, Italy), secondsurviving son of King Edward III of England and ancestor of Edward IV.

Before he was four years of age Lionel was betrothed to Elizabeth (d.1363), daughter and heiress of William de Burgh, earl of Ulster (d.1333), and he entered nominally into possession of her great Irishinheritance. Having been named as his father's representative in Englandin 1345 and again in 1346, Lionel was created earl of Ulster and joined(in 1355) an expedition into France, but his chief energies were reservedfor the affairs of Ireland. Appointed governor of that country, he landedat Dublin in September 1361. In November 1362 he was created duke ofClarence and in the following year his father made an abortive attempt tosecure for him the succession to the crown of Scotland.

His efforts to secure an effective authority over his Irish lands wereonly moderately successful, and after holding a parliament at Kilkenny,which passed the celebrated Statute of Kilkenny in 1366, he threw up histask in disgust and returned to England. At Milan, on May 28, 1368, hemarried Violante, only daughter of Galeazzo Visconti, lord of Pavia, whobrought him a rich dowry. Several months were then spent in festivities,during which Lionel was taken ill and died at Alba.

His only child, Philippa (1355-81), a daughter by his first wife, marriedin 1368 Edmund Mortimer (1352-81), 3rd earl of March, and through thisunion Clarence became an ancestor of Edward IV. [Encyclopædia BritannicaCD '97]

On the Dukedom of Somerset [Burke's Peerage, p. 1661]

Two and a half ceturies later Richard II created the eldest of John ofGaunt's bastards by Catherine Swynford, John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset.He was later promoted Marquess of Somerset, though degraded from the rankin the early part of Henry IV's reign. Both before and after thedeposition of Richard he was a prominent military figure, chiefly inFrance during the Hundred Years War. The latter conflict continured toprovide the Beafort Earls of Somerset with opportunities; the 3rd Earl[John Beaufort], one of John's younger sons, was promoted Duke ofSomerset in 1443 following various military operations in Normandy,Anjou, and Maine, though these were competently executed rather thanconspicuously triumphant. Probably his close kinship with Henry VI wasthe chief cause of his leap in the peerage, for his mother Margaret wasdaughter of Thomas Earl of Kent, a descendant of Edward I. It is thisDuke of Somerset's daughter who was mother of Henry VII.

The Dukedom of Somerset created in 1443 expired with the death of thegrantee [John Beaufort] in 1444.

     She Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann AT yahoo.com, wrote in a post-em (but Ithink based on unreliable information):

FWIW, the flwg is from:


& says his wife was Sara de VESEY dau & h of Wm. de VESEY, Earl ofSuffolk (in right of his wife) Maud de GLANVILLE dau of Ralph DeGlanville s of Gilbert de GLANVILLE, 3rd Earl of Suffolk (who wasstripped of his estates & title by Henry III).

Ralph de Glanville, the eldest son (of Gilbert de Glanville, 3rd Earl ofSuffolk), was a benefactor to Leiston Abbey, founded by hisgreat-grandfather, the Lord Chief Justice. 'Ufortunately I have not comeacross anything further connected with him but that he left an onlydaughter, Maud de Glanville, his sole heiress, who married Sir William deVesey, [fn 46] of Ireland, who, as most people do say, was created Earlof Suffolk, in right of his wife, in 1326. Sir William de Vesey had issueby her, Sara de Vesey, sole heiress, who married Robert de Ufford, [fn47] and whose issue were now made Earls of Suffolk. The original name ofUfford was Peyton of Peyton, in Suffolk. The above-named Robert deUfford, or more properly Peyton, was a younger son of John de Peyton, andhe assumed his surname from his lordship of Ufford.

Robert de Ufford, who married Sara de Vesey, inherited through herconsiderable estates which had formerly belonged to the Glanvilles. Theirson, Robert de Ufford, was summoned to Parliament as a Baron 13 Jan.1308, and continued to sit as such until the year 1311. He considerablyaugmented his estates by his marriage with Cicely, daughter and coheir ofRobert, Lord Valoins, and also heiress of another branch of the Glanvillefamily.

Sarah Vesey's marriage Robert de Peyton is based on a book written byWilliam Urmston S. Glanville-Richards, Esq. in 'Records of the AngloNorman House of Glanville from AD 1050 to 1880', who describes three'Earls of Suffolk', which titles are totally false, and is described as'a classic example [e.g.] of 19th century antiquarian mayhem - built froma mass of unquestionably invaluable Glanville source material, assembledinto a dismally ill-considered narrative/pedigree. (The most blatant and- because it is so patently berserk - ultimately least crucial examplebeing his persistently calling Ran(d)ulph, William and Gilbert deGlanville the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 'Earls of Suffolk' when no such earldomexisted).' [Christopher Nash, 1 Sep 1998 posting tosoc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup]

After such a glowing review of the veracity of the Glanville-Richardsinformation, there is doubt whether Sarah existed or was married toRobert. She certainly is not indicated by any reliable source (CP, MCS,etc.]. However, the 'reliable sources' do not have Robert marrying forthe first time until he was about 40, which is unlikely. Plus I have asource for Alice as being a daughter of Robert, when her indicated agewould be by a first wife earlier than the 'Mary, widow of William de Say'who is the 1st wife, according to the 'reliable sources'.

I see in Jack Comas' files on World Connect db=:990696, rootsweb.com,that Sarah is daughter of William de Vescy by his first (according to'reliable sources') wife Isabel Longespee. This looks reasonable to me. Sarah de Vescy was also known as Sarah de Vesey.

(a) The marriage presumably took place before 10 Feb 1340/1, when theEarl of Salisbury [William's father] had lic. to settle Mold uponWilliam, son of William de Montagu, and Joan his wife; certainly beforethe date in 1343, when the Bishop of Exeter (Grandison) wrote that hisnephew, son and heir of the Earl of Salisbury, had m. the niece of ThomasWake (Lord Wake of Liddell). Sir Thomas Holand (later Earl of Kent)afterwards proved that he had m. Joan (about 1339, when she would havebeen 11), and alleged that, in his absence in Prussia, she was m. toWilliam de Montagu. William and Joan were still living as husband andwife, 15 Oct 1348. They were divorced in or before Oct 1349. The popeordered the re-establishment of the 1st marriage, 17 Nov 1349. The papalcommission to the archbishop, concerning the marriage of the Prince ofWales and the Countess Joan, 7 Sep 1361, confirmed by another Bull, 11Dec following, records that the Earl of Salisbury acquiesced in thedefinitive sentence (pronounced in 1349) and m. another lady, whom hethenceforth possessed, and still possesses, as his lawful wife.

Earl of Salisbury [Ref: Weis AR7 47 & 236]
2nd Earl of Salisbury [Ref: Paget p20]
Jul 13 1346: knighted at the landing of La Hogue [Ref: CP XI:388]
founding Knight of Garter, and last surviving founder [Ref: CP XI:388]

William Montacute, Earl of Salisbury (1328-1397) Born: 20th June 1328at Donyatt, Somerset, Baron Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, Died: 3rd June1397 at Bisham, Berkshire.

This Earl, the eldest son and heir of William, Lord Montacute, thefirst Earl of Salisbury of that family, by Katherine daughter of William,Lord Grandisson, was born on the 20th June 1328. His father, one of themost eminent warriors of his time, died on the 30th January 1344, inconsequence of bruises received at the Windsor jousts; and the youngEarl, then in his sixteenth year, having doubtless also participated, andwith distinction, in those chivalrous exercises, was chosen to be one ofthe Founders of the Order of the Garter in the April following.

He was in the expedition into France in 1346 and received knighthood,if not the degree of banneret, upon landing at La Hogue. We find himmentioned as assisting at the Siege of Caen and it may be presumed thathe was also at Crécy. In the two following years, he was again on servicein France and, about this period, he contracted a marriage with the LadyJoan Plantagenet, 'the Fair Maid of Kent'. However, Sir Thomas Hollandpetitioned Pope Clement VI, alleging that she had previously been hiswife, in virtue of a marriage lawfully solemnised, and that, during hisabsence in distant parts, the Earl had married and then unjustly detainedher from him. The case was referred, by the Holy See, to theinvestigation of Cardinal Ademar, who, having examined witnesses on bothsides, reported that the marriage between Holland and Joan had beenlegally celebrated. The Pope thereupon, by his bull dated at Avignon,13th November 1349, decreed the contract with Montacute to be null andvoid, and ordered restitution of the lady to Holland, her lawful husband.

In the same year, William made proof of his age and had livery of hislands, and, before the end of the year, succeeded, upon the death of hismother, to the lands which she had held in dower. In 1350, he was in thenaval engagement with the Spaniards off Winchelsea and, on 24th October1353, did homage to the King at Westminster, in the presence of PrinceEdward, for his Barony of Denbigh. Being, along with his younger brother,Sir John Montacute, of that Prince's retinue, he embarked at Plymouth forGascony, on 1st January 1356 in order to play his part in the HundredYears War against France. He had, with him, letters to the Seneschal forhis special protection against any demand upon him during two years, onaccount of the debts of his ancestors. William was involved in the foray,with the Earls of Warwick, Suffolk and Oxford, in Languedoc, on whichoccasion they burnt the suburbs of Narbonne, destroyed Carcassonne andreturned, over the district of Armagnac, to Bordeaux.

In 1356, the Earl commanded the rear of the English army at the Battleof Poitiers and continued in France during the year following. In 1359,he appears to have been in attendance on the King in his Frenchexpedition; and was there also in 1360. He was present, in 1368, at theconclusion of the truce and, in 1369, was sent, with the Earl of Warwickand others, under the command of the Duke of Lancaster, to Calais. In1370, he was, at Westminster, one of the witnesses to the celebratedletter for the redress of grievances in Aquitaine. In 1372, he embarkedwith the King at Southampton and sailed towards Rochelle with a view torelieve Thouars; but the fleet was compelled, by contrary winds, toreturn to England. In 1376, he was constituted Admiral of the Fleet and,in the same year, was found by inquisition to be one of the co-heirs ofhis cousin, Thomas, Lord Grandisson.

On the accession of Richard II, William was appointed to secure thesea?coasts in the counties of Hampshire, Dorset & Somerset and, in thefollowing year, was Governor of Calais. In 1384, he was ordered to marchagainst the Scots. In 1385, the Isle of Wight and the Castle ofCarisbrooke were granted to him for life. He continued in publicemployment until his death, which happened on 3rd June 1397, at the ageof sixty?nine. He made his will on 20th April 1387, under the titles ofEarl of Salisbury and Lord of the Isles of Man and Wight, and directedhis interment in the conventual church of the Priory of Bisham inBerkshire, which had been founded by his father. The will was proved on27th June following.

The Earl had, soon after the decision of the Pope in 1349, marriedElizabeth, the eldest daughter and co-heiress of John, Lord Mohun ofDunster (Somerset), by whom he had an only child, Sir William Montacute,who married, in 1378, Elizabeth FitzAlan, daughter of Richard, Earl ofArundel, but died without issue, having been unhappily slain in a tiltingmatch at Windsor (Berks) by the Earl, his father, on the 6th August 1382.Elizabeth, Countess of Salisbury, took the veil some years after thedeath of her husband; and was received into the sisterhood of the conventof St. Albans on 10th October 1408. She made her will on the eve of St.Katherine, 1414, and died on 14th January 1415, leaving Philippa, Duchessof York, her younger sister, and Richard, Lord Strange of Knockyn, son ofMaud her other sister, her next heirs.

[k] In 1823 Sir John Shelley Sidney, Bart., petitioned for thedetermination of the abeyance in the Barony of Lisle in his favour assole heir of the body of Margaret, the eldest da. and coh. of Elizabeth,Countess of Warwick. The petitioner's descent from Gerard, 1st Lord Lisle[1357] was through the families of Shelley, Perry, Sydney, Dudley, Grey,Talbot, Beauchamp, Berkeley and Lisle. The other coheirs were: George,Earl of Essex, Sir Henry Hunloke, Bart., and Charlotte, Baroness Ros, ascoheirs of the body of Eleanor, the 2nd da; and Hugh, Duke ofNorthumberland Winchcomb Henry Howard Hartley, James Knightley, TrothGrove, Villiers William Villiers, Montagu, Earl of Abingdon, Sir FrancisBurdett, Bart., William Fermor, and John, Lord Rollo, as coheirs of thebody of Elizabeth, the third da. The case is fully set out in Sir N. H.Nicolas's Report of the Proceedings on the Claim to the Barony of L'Isle[1829], which he published with a view to defending the modern doctrineas to barony by writ, in which, as a practising Peerage Counsel, he wasmuch interested. The doctrine was assailed in the judgment delivered byLord Redesdale (18 and 22 May 1826), which did not reject the petition,as has been generally supposed, on the ground of want of proof ofsitting, but because in his Lordship's opinion a writ of summons and asitting thereunder at so early a date did not in fact create anhereditary barony. On 25 May following the House of Lords resolved 'thatthere did not appear to be sufficient ground to advise His Majesty toallow the claim of the Petitioner.' In 1835 the petitioner's only son wascreated Baron De L'Isle and Dudley of Penshurst.

(1) Thomas, Lord Ros, (2) Edmund, Duke of Somerset, and (3) WalterRokesley, Esq; and Elizabeth, wife of George Neville, Lord Latimer.According to the usual descent of Baronies in fee the dignity created bythe Writ of Summons of 1295 and that of 1308, should have devolved on thesaid Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Thomas, Lord Berkeley, and not uponhis collateral heir male; but whether this anomaly arose from an ideathen prevailing, that the tenure of the Castle of Berkeley conferred theBarony, or whether the heir male had the greater political influence,cannot now perhaps be ascertained: the inference which may be drawn fromthe relative situations of the husband of the said Elizabeth, who was oneof the most powerful noblemen of the time, and that of James Berkeley whosucceeded to the Barony, is, that the tenure of Berkeley Castle was thenconsidered to confer the dignity on its possessor, and consequently thatthe said James was allowed that dignity as his right, rather than by thefavour of the Crown. There were, however, other instances, as inBurghersh and De la War, of the heir male of a Baron by Writ, beingsummoned instead of the heir general, and if modern decsisions may beapplied to the subject, the Baronies of Berkeley, created by the Writs ofSummons are now in abeyance between the descendants and representativesof the three daughters and coheirs of Elizabeth, Countess of Warwick,above mentioned, whose names will be found in a Note to the account ofthe Barony of Lisle; and the Barony possessed by the Earls Berkeley(1658-1882) is that created by the Writ of Summons to James Berkeley 1421.
