Marriage* Principal=Maud Ridel 
Death*between 16 September 1144 and 29 May 1147 1 
DNB* Basset, Richard (d. in or before 1144), justice, was the son of Ralph Basset (d. 1127?), another of Henry I's justices. His official career began in the third decade of Henry's reign, his name first appearing in royal documents in the king's confirmation of the settlement whereby he married Matilda, daughter of Geoffrey Ridel, another justice, who had drowned in the White Ship in 1120. The marriage took place some time between November 1120 and April 1123. Basset was given custody of Geoffrey's land and the wardship of his children, including Robert Ridel. At some stage, presumably after the death of Robert Ridel, his marriage brought him into possession of the barony of Great Weldon in Northamptonshire, in addition to his share of his father's lands, and others he evidently acquired in the course of his career.

In 1125 Basset and a colleague were sent to Peterborough Abbey to take charge of the revenues for the king after the abbot's death, and he is recorded as sole witness to a royal writ issued in 1126 or 1127. In the years before 1129 he also acted as a royal justice in Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, while in the fiscal year 1129/30 he appears as a key figure in royal administration, for he and Aubrey de Vere were jointly appointed sheriffs of no fewer than eleven English counties, on special terms by which they paid to the king a large surplus over and above the shire revenues they held at farm. Their assignment, which may not have lasted longer than one year, was evidently intended to improve the yield of revenues received from the sheriffs, and was arranged in the aftermath of an audit of the treasury in the preceding year. In the same year Basset also heard pleas in Sussex, Leicestershire, Suffolk, and Lincolnshire, and the range of his judicial activities indicates that his authority, like his father's, was not confined to a single county. He was one of several justices whose local visitations are referred to in the pipe roll of 1130, and which set precedents for the later general eyre. The Leicestershire survey of 1130 contains a reference to a tenant of Richard's, who held his land by the service ‘of finding for the justiciar a messenger to go through the whole of England’ (Leicestershire Survey, 15); but as the tenant's name was Warin Ridel, the reference may in fact relate to the period when Geoffrey Ridel was lord of the estate in question. A number of royal documents issued in and around 1130 provide further illustration of his work at that time, including the royal precept addressed to him and ‘all the royal justices and ministers of Surrey’ which declared that Battle Abbey was to be free of various customs and obligations, particularly work on London Bridge. The frequency with which he attested documents issued in Henry I's name before the king's final departure from England in 1133 suggests that Basset was often at court between 1131 and 1133, notably at the councils held at Northampton in 1131 and at Westminster in the following year.

Basset is not known to have been employed as a justice or sheriff by King Stephen—although his name occurs as a witness to a charter of Stephen's of 1136, the document may not be authentic. He built a stone castle in Normandy at Montreuil-au-Houlme on his patrimonial estates. This was taken over by William de Montpinçon, who held it against the Angevins in 1136. Basset died in or before 1144, when the Empress Matilda restored to his son Geoffrey Ridel all his father's lands in England and Normandy. Richard and his wife founded an Augustinian priory at Launde in Leicestershire, probably in the early 1120s, and are known to have had at least three sons, Geoffrey Ridel of Great Weldon (named after his maternal grandfather), Ralph Basset of Drayton, Staffordshire, and William Basset of Sapcote, who became a sheriff and justice. An impression and a drawing of Richard's seal survive, showing a knight in full armour striking a monster which has a figure in its mouth; it was presumably intended to represent Richard Basset as the upholder of justice.

Geoffrey Ridel1

M, #14541, d. circa 1120

Marriage* Principal=Geva of Chester 
Death*circa 1120 1 
DNB* Ridel, Geoffrey (d. 1120), justice, is of uncertain but possibly distinguished origins. There is a single reference in the Domesday survey of Norfolk to a man named Geoffrey Ridel, who is said to have come from Apulia with the brother of Roger (I) Bigod. A family named Ridel was prominent in southern Italy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and a Geoffrey Ridel who is mentioned between 1061 and 1084 as a lieutenant of Robert Guiscard became duke of Gaeta. That Geoffrey Ridel the justice was well connected is suggested by the fact that his brother Matthew was appointed to the important abbacy of Peterborough in 1102, while Geoffrey himself leased the manor of Pytchley from the abbey, originally, so the abbey claimed, for one year only, though he refused to give up the estate and was still in possession at the time of his death. It is about 1105 that Ridel begins to appear as a witness to royal documents. By 1106 he may already have received the lands of Robert de Buci centred on Great Weldon in Northamptonshire, for in that year he was included in the address of a royal precept relating to land in the county. In the same year he was appointed to a judicial panel inquiring into a complaint made against Osbert, sheriff of Yorkshire, and three years later he attended a royal council at Nottingham. About 1110 he was one of a group commissioned to inquire into the king's rights in Winchester, a city omitted from the Domesday Book, and in either 1110 or 1111 he was present when the king's court met before the Empress Matilda in the treasury at Winchester to deal with a case involving Abingdon Abbey, possibly an early reference to the court of the exchequer.

Ridel was one of those described by the chronicler Henry of Huntingdon as a ‘justice of all England’, a term which refers to the geographical scope of their authority as opposed to those who acted for the king in only one or two counties. But there is less evidence for his activities as a justice than for those of his colleague Ralph Basset: he does not appear as frequently in royal documents, and when he does it is often in a midlands context, from which it may be inferred that he was not constantly at court. The man named Warin Ridel who is recorded as a tenant of Richard Basset in 1130 in Leicestershire as holding his land by the service ‘of finding for the justiciar a messenger to go through the whole of England’ (Leicestershire Survey, 15) may have been established by Geoffrey Ridel, Richard Basset's predecessor as overlord.

Ridel's wife, Geva, was a daughter of Hugh, earl of Chester. It has been surmised that she was illegitimate, but there is no evidence on this point, the fact that she did not succeed her brother in the earldom in 1120 being no proof of illegitimacy. Although Ridel did not attest documents issued by Henry I in Normandy, he was evidently returning to England with the royal court in 1120 when he lost his life on 25 November in the wreck of the White Ship off Barfleur in Normandy. His wife survived him and founded a priory at Canwell in Staffordshire; his daughter married Richard Basset, who succeeded to his lands.

Death*8 January 1267/68 1 
Burial* Westminster Abbey, (His heart was buried at Catesby Priory, Northants.)2 
DNB* Mauduit, William, eighth earl of Warwick (1221x3-1268), magnate, was the son and heir of William Mauduit (c.1195–1257), lord of Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, and hereditary chamberlain of the exchequer, and his wife, Alice de Newburgh, the daughter of Waleran, earl of Warwick. Between August 1233 and July 1234, William was held as a royal hostage, in the custody of Herbert fitz Matthew, to ensure the loyalty of his father. In 1242 he was ordered to deputize for his father if necessary and accompany a treasure ship on its way to the royal army campaigning in Gascony, and in 1243 Henry III met the expenses he incurred in crossing to Gascony. In July 1253 William, together with John de Plessis, earl of Warwick, and the royal administrator Gilbert of Segrave, was seized by a mob at Pons, in Poitou, and imprisoned; Segrave, whose daughter Alice was William's wife, died during their captivity.

The heirs to the earldom of Warwick, William's parents, Alice de Newburgh and William Mauduit, were constrained to acquiesce in the life tenure of the earldom and its lands by John de Plessis, who held it by royal grant for life only, since Margery de Newburgh, the widowed granddaughter of Earl Waleran and the countess of Warwick in her own right, claimed that she had already remarried before Henry III designated John as her husband. In 1257 William succeeded to his father's claims and his barony of Hanslope, to the estate of Barrowden in Rutland, Hartley Mauditt, Hampshire (held by sergeanty of his chamberlainship) and to estates in Warwickshire which had formed the marriage portion of Alice de Newburgh. He also inherited the chamberlainship of the exchequer; the routine work was performed by official deputies, but the chamberlain received robes which were perquisites of office and enjoyed legal privileges.

William's political activities contrasted with those of his father, who sided with the baronial opposition in 1215–17, as well as in 1233. He was perhaps influenced by John de Plessis, a staunch supporter of the king; certainly Henry III believed him to be a potential supporter when, in February 1261, he summoned a group of the lesser barons, in an effort to shake off the restraints imposed upon him by Simon de Montfort and his supporters. William, like others who supported the king militarily, was granted an annual fee, in his case of 40 marks, payable in half-yearly instalments, which he received until May 1263. Between March 1258 and March 1264 he received regular royal summonses to render military service—a campaign against Llywelyn, the Welsh prince, was the usual reason given, but these levies helped to strengthen the king's hand against the baronial opposition.

John de Plessis eventually died in February 1263. Alice de Newburgh predeceased him, and William Mauduit, as her son, succeeded to the earldom of Warwick. In April 1263 he rendered to Henry III his homage as earl, but the comital inheritance had been mismanaged by twelfth-century earls, while the dower entitlement of the long-lived thirteenth-century countesses had further depleted its resources. William probably controlled little more than a third of the total resources of the earldom, and during the unrest in 1264 his activities were largely confined to within a 10 mile radius of Warwick Castle. A Montfortian commander, John Giffard, captured the castle, together with William and Alice. Its fortifications were destroyed, and the earl and countess were imprisoned in Kenilworth, pending payment of his ransom of 1900 marks. On 22 November 1265 William was granted forfeited estates to the value of £100, but at his death on 8 January 1268 he was in debt to the crown. He left no direct heir, and was succeeded by William (IV) de Beauchamp, the son of his deceased sister, Isabel Mauduit. William Mauduit was buried in Westminster Abbey, but his heart was interred at the Cistercian nunnery at Catesby, Northamptonshire, perhaps reflecting a devotion to the cult of Edmund Rich, some of whose relics were there.
