DNB* Burgh, Richard de (d. 1243), justiciar of Ireland, was the son of William de Burgh (d. 1206) and his wife, the daughter of Domnall Mór Ó Briain, king of Thomond, who married in 1193. The de Burgh family came from Norfolk. William, the brother of Hubert de Burgh, justiciar of England from 1215 to 1232, became involved in Ireland as a result of the visit of John, lord of Ireland, in 1185. About 1194 John granted him Connacht, but he made little progress in establishing himself there. Before 1201 he also held two knights' fees of Theobald Walter near Tullow, in Carlow, as well as land in Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Limerick. He died in 1206 and Richard, his heir, became a ward of the crown until 1214 when he received his inheritance. He later added to his property in Munster and also urged a regrant of Connacht. Between June and September 1215 Richard de Burgh served in the household of his uncle, Hubert de Burgh. On 13 September of that year Connacht was granted to its Irish king, Cathal Ó Conchobhair, but on the same day a secret grant of the province was also made to Richard, who in 1219 offered the crown money in return for a curtailment of Cathal's rights; this was rejected.

De Burgh was in Ireland in 1220 but appears to have made a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1222. Before 1225 he married Egidia, daughter of Walter de Lacy and acquired with her the cantred of Eóghanacht Caisil with the castle of Ardmayle in Tipperary. In 1223 and again in 1225 he was appointed seneschal of Munster and keeper of the castle of Limerick.

De Burgh's grant to Connacht was executed in July 1226 after Áed, son of Cathal, was declared forfeit and in the following year de Burgh and Áed, son of Ruaidrí Ó Conchobhair, a rival to Cathal's son, plundered around Lough Mask. On 13 February 1228 de Burgh was appointed justiciar of Ireland, having previously been given custody of counties Cork and Waterford and all the crown lands of Decies and Desmond. In 1230 he made Fedlimid, son of Cathal, king of Connacht, but in the following year imprisoned him when he proved unco-operative and replaced him with Áed, son of Ruaidrí. In 1232 Hubert de Burgh fell from power and Richard was replaced as justiciar by Maurice Fitzgerald (d. 1257) and was ordered to release Fedlimid. Henry III was planning a campaign against Richard in 1233, but he distanced himself sufficiently from his disgraced uncle to reassure the king. In 1234 he was restored to favour and was one of the magnates of Ireland who opposed Richard Marshal on the Curragh on 1 April when Marshal was mortally wounded.

Richard de Burgh effectively conquered Connacht in 1235 and 1236. Of the thirty cantreds of the province the king was to have five centred on the Shannon and de Burgh the remaining twenty-five. De Burgh kept three of these cantreds for himself, all in Galway. His principal manor was in the barony of Loughrea where in 1236 he built a castle. He also kept Galway town and the islands on Lough Mask and Lough Orben. The other cantreds were granted by him to magnates with existing Irish interests such as Hugh de Lacy, Maurice Fitzgerald, Richard de Carew, William Barrett, Jordan of Exeter, Peter of Bermingham and Adam of Staunton. De Burgh died early in 1243 when serving on Henry III's expedition to Poitou. He had three sons: Richard, his first heir, who died in 1248; Walter de Burgh (d. 1271), his eventual heir, who in 1263 was created earl of Ulster; and William, who died in 1270 and whose descendants came eventually to control most of Connacht.

Death*1 April 1212 2,5

DNB* Grandmesnil, Petronilla de, countess of Leicester (d. 1212), magnate, was the daughter and heir of Guillaume, lord of Grandmesnil in Normandy. She was the last representative of the great Norman aristocratic house of Grandmesnil. Her father's name is known only from a grant by her to the abbey of St Evroult in his memory. It is assumed that Guillaume was the son of Robert (II) de Grandmesnil (d. c.1136), the last lord of Grandmesnil mentioned by Orderic Vitalis, but this is by no means certain. Petronilla was given in marriage (presumably as a royal ward) by Henry II to Robert de Breteuil (c.1130-1190), the only son of Robert, earl of Leicester. The marriage had taken place by 1159. The pair initially lived in Normandy, where Robert had the charge of his father's honour of Breteuil and administered in his own right the honour of Pacy and his wife's honour of Grandmesnil in central Normandy. By 1164 they had had several children, among them Roger, bishop of St Andrews.

In 1168 Robert inherited his father's earldom. When the new earl rebelled against Henry II, he took Petronilla with him into exile at the court of Louis VII. The countess seems by now to have established a reputation as a strong-willed, political figure. She accompanied the earl's invasion of England at the head of a mercenary army in 1173. Jordan Fantosme tells how the earl obliged her to dress in armour and carry shield and lance to ride with him at the head of his force as it marched to encounter the royal army near Bury St Edmunds. Fantosme puts into her mouth a rather slighting speech directed against the English, and seems to regard her as a bad influence on her husband. She was unhorsed, thrown into a ditch, and captured by Simon de Wahull during the battle, causing her husband to panic, according to Fantosme. She was imprisoned with the earl in Portchester Castle, and doubtless she stayed with him in his various places of confinement until his release in 1177. Between 1179 and 1181 the earl went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and it is probable that the countess accompanied him. On the earl's next arrest in 1183, it is significant that she was also kept under surveillance, and lodged with one of her daughters and her household in Bedford Castle. She was imprisoned from April to September of that year.

On the earl's death abroad in 1190 Petronilla did not remarry, and seems to have come under the tutelage of her eldest surviving son, the heir to the earldom, Robert de Breteuil (d. 1204). He answered for, and eventually paid, her minor debts contracted to Aaron of Lincoln. He seems to have venerated her to the unusual extent of abandoning the paternal surname of Breteuil (which appears on his secret seal before his succession) to take up the matronym filius Petronille, by which he was customarily known after 1190. She did not come into full control of her lands until 1204, on the death of her son. Her dower included lands and houses in Leicester and three and three-quarters knight's fees in the county. She also owned Netheravon in Wiltshire. Her centre and habitual residence as a widow was the town of Ware, Hertfordshire (Grandmesnil dower lands in the Domesday Book), where the earls maintained a hall; she acted as advocate of Ware Priory, and at least one prior did homage to her. In 1208 the king granted her a market in the town and control of its bridge for life. Petronilla also exerted rights over the abbey of St Evroult in Normandy, by virtue of her descent. She granted the abbey the cell of Charley in Leicestershire to be a daughter house. She appears to have maintained her claim on Grandmesnil, despite the loss of Normandy. In 1206 she offered 2000 marks for control of Leicester—which indicates a certain wealth—but was outbid by her son-in-law Saer de Quincy (d. 1219). The countess died on 1 April 1212.

Richilde had promised William her hand, Witness=Baldwin I of Hainault, Witness=Richilde von Egisheim2,3 
DNB* William fitz Osbern, earl (d. 1071), magnate, was from a Norman family connected with the ducal house, his father, Osbern, being nephew to Gunnor, wife of Duke Richard (I) (d. 996), and his mother, Emma, a niece of Duke Richard himself. Of an age with the future William the Conqueror (who was born in the late 1020s), he was raised in the ducal household, where his father was the duke's steward. The boys shared a traumatic adolescence marked by Osbern's murder, and William grew up to be Duke William's oldest and most loyal friend.

Once his brother Osbern had left for England about 1043, William was their father's sole heir; and in 1049 he inherited from his mother's brother Hugues, bishop of Bayeux, the vast estates which had belonged to his maternal grandfather Rodulf, count of Ivry. Probably about then he married Adelize de Tosny and together they founded a monastery at Lyre; a second abbey at Cormeilles followed a decade later. His Norman lands were extensive, their heart in the south-east around Breteuil, where about 1054 Duke William built a major castle which he entrusted to him. William fitz Osbern sought to develop Breteuil as an economic centre by allowing its burgesses extensive privileges.

By the mid-1060s William was using the title count of the palace (comes palatii) in imitation of a Carolingian office. He had long been the duke's steward and prominent in all the duchy's affairs, influential, too, in small matters like a squabble between Lanfranc and a royal clerk. He was later remembered as having persuaded the lesser barons to give adequate support for the invasion of England. He himself contributed sixty ships and fought at Hastings.

After 1066 William fitz Osbern was the king's right-hand man in England, wielding great power throughout the most difficult early years of Norman rule. His authority was based on the implicit trust which the king had in his ability and loyalty, not on any formal position, and to accord him a precise title would be to distort his role. Historians writing in the nineteenth century and for much of the twentieth called William a ‘palatine earl’, an inappropriate translation of the title which he had used in Normandy; there were no palatine earldoms in England until the thirteenth century. Nor was he really a ‘prototype justiciar’, as David Bates called him. He was not even ‘earl of Hereford’, as he appears in most historical writing. The king certainly made him an earl (comes) in England in 1067, but the title was personal, not territorial, and he had comital authority not just over Herefordshire but probably throughout the southern shires where Harold Godwineson had been earl. His main base, indeed, was not Hereford but Winchester. In the king's absence he and Odo, bishop of Bayeux (d. 1097), were co-rulers. Together they built the castles from which others oppressed the English without restraint or the possibility of appeal. It was supposedly on Earl William's advice that the king had the monasteries searched for treasure stashed away by the English.

The earl also received much land, including the Isle of Wight, the lease of royal estates in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, many other manors in those shires and Oxfordshire, and at least some in Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, and Worcestershire. Much of it had belonged to Earl Harold, but it was as yet early days for the Normans in England, and much more land might have come William's way had he lived. From those riches he endowed Lyre and Cormeilles and gave manors to his knights and servants, though curiously not to the principal families of Breteuil.

Because he had taken over as earl from Harold, William was drawn into the Welsh borders and especially the district around Hereford, where he encouraged economic development by extending the privileges of Breteuil to the borough. Herefordshire had been severely disrupted by Welsh incursions in Edward the Confessor's time, though the advantage had already been turned against them by Harold's decisive victories in 1063–4. Earl William secured the Welsh border with castles, notably Chepstow, where he immediately began building in stone, as opposed to the earthwork and timber structures at Wigmore, Clifford, Ewyas Harold, and Monmouth. From those bases he pushed into Brycheiniog and Gwent, where he fought and defeated at least three Welsh kings, Cadwgan ap Meurig and the brothers Rhys and Maredudd ab Owain. Within at most four years he had laid the foundations of the southern marches, taking much land from the Welsh of Gwent for himself and his men and establishing an embryonic division into an ‘Englishry’ and a ‘Welshry’.

At the same time William remained active in the king's service in England and Normandy. In 1068 he and the Breton Count Brian led an army against English rebels at Shrewsbury and Exeter, and in 1069, after York was sacked, he went north with the king and was put in charge of a new castle there. Some time after Christmas 1070 the king sent him to govern Normandy with Queen Matilda, probably with an eye on Flanders; from there he led a token force, apparently only ten knights, to join the French army which invaded Flanders to assist young Count Arnulf against his uncle Robert the Frisian. They were ambushed at Kassel on 20 or 21 February 1071 and William was killed. His men carried their lord's body back to Normandy for burial at Cormeilles.

William's wife, who apparently died before him, was buried at Lyre. The king made their elder sons, William and Roger de Breteuil (fl. 1071-1087), their father's heirs in Normandy and England respectively. A third son, Rodulf, was a monk at Cormeilles, and the only known daughter, Emma, married Ralph de Gael in 1075.

William of Poitiers wrote soon after William fitz Osbern's death of his physical courage, strength of character, and wise advice. Two anecdotes were remembered at Battle Abbey, among a wealth of stories about the Hastings campaign. If accurately remembered, they illustrate his quick mind and a persuasive way of talking. During the landing at Pevensey, Duke William fell, cut himself, and bled. Many of his soldiers feared a bad omen for the battles to come, but Earl William raised their spirits by interpreting it as a sign of success: the duke had grasped England with both hands, he said, and had consecrated the land with his own blood. Later, preparing for battle, the duke was handed his mail shirt back-to-front, another portent of bad luck. Working harder this time, the earl offered the comment that things which were the wrong way round would soon be put right, by a Norman victory. Earl William's qualities were elaborated by twelfth-century historians, unanimous in their praise except for William of Malmesbury's incredible moralistic tale that in 1071 he was intent on marrying Count Arnulf's mother and ruling Flanders himself. For Orderic Vitalis he was the bravest of the Normans, renowned for generosity, ready wit, integrity, and loyalty; even William of Malmesbury thought him ‘better than the very best princes’ (De gestis regum, 2.314). Orderic spoke for all in saying that he was ‘universally mourned’, at least by the Normans (Ordericus Vitalis, Eccl. hist., 2.284–5).

Title Earl of Leicester. "The city of Leicester had then four lords, viz., the king, the bishop of Lincoln, Earl Simon, and Yvo, the son of Hugh de Grentmesnel. This Earl of Mellent [Beaumont], by favour of the king, cunningly entering it on that side which belonged to Yvo (then governor thereof, as also sheriff, and the king's farmer there), subjecting it wholly to himself; and by this means, being made an earl in England, exceeded all the nobles of the realm in riches and power."6 
Note* "The wisest of all men betwixt this and Jerusalem, in worldly affairs; famous for knowledge, plausible in speech, skilful in craft, discreetly provident, ingeniously subtile, excelling for prudence, profound in council, and of great wisdom."6 
DNB* Beaumont, Robert de, count of Meulan and first earl of Leicester (d. 1118), magnate, was the son of Roger, lord of Beaumont-le-Roger and Pont Audemer, and Adeline, daughter of Waleran, count of Meulan. He attested ducal acts before the conquest of England, one as early as 1055, which encourages the belief that he was already of age well before 1066. His participation in the Hastings campaign confirms that assumption. He appears in the witness lists of a small number of royal acts in England and France datable from before he inherited the county of Meulan from his uncle, Count Hugues, late in 1080. One of these is an act of Robert Curthose, which hints that he was associated with the household of William I's heir at one point. Beaumont did not join in Curthose's rebellion against his father in 1078, however, but is mentioned as one of the courtiers who worked to persuade the Conqueror to come to a settlement with his son. In 1086 Count Robert appears as a major landholder in England, with estates concentrated in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. Since there is evidence that his father (still alive and prominent in affairs) had held some of the Warwickshire estates before 1086, it seems that Beaumont's English lands had come to him in a family arrangement. It may be that he held them in 1086 as his father's lieutenant (by the same arrangement as he held Brionne in Normandy from his father); this caretaker role would explain how, in 1088, his brother Henry obtained the bulk (although not all) of Robert's Domesday estate, which became the core of the earldom of Warwick. This explanation would also make it unnecessary to postulate Roger de Beaumont's retirement to Préaux Abbey c.1088 to facilitate the exchange, which is a theory in any case contradicted by the fact that Orderic Vitalis and the cartulary of Préaux depict Roger as still active about public affairs in 1090.

Following the death of the Conqueror, Count Robert seems to have decided to pay court to Robert, the new duke of Normandy, and attested several of the acts of the earlier part of the duke's career. However, in 1090 there was a major dispute between count and duke over the castle of Ivry. The count had claimed it as an appurtenance of the castle of Brionne, which his father had earlier had by grant of the duke. Duke Robert, under the influence of a hostile court faction, imprisoned the count and seized Brionne. Roger de Beaumont was able to extract his son from prison, and secured the return of Brionne with some difficulty. Long before Duke Robert mortgaged the duchy to his brother in 1096, Count Robert had transferred his allegiance to William II. Eadmer pictures him in 1093 at Rochester as being then a principal adviser of the king. He appeared at Gloucester with the court in December 1093 with his brother Earl Henry. At Winchester in October 1097 Eadmer describes him as the leader of baronial opinion against Archbishop Anselm. In the same year Count Robert supported William Rufus's campaign in the Vexin, and the next year Orderic portrays him as chief of the king's counsellors, advising the king not to take the exiled Helias, count of Maine, into his court. His ability to influence the king was the excuse for his neighbours to waste his lands when Rufus died. In 1099 he was with the king in England, and attended the celebration held in the new hall of Westminster Palace, while in August 1100 he was in the fatal hunting party in the New Forest when Rufus was accidentally killed. Robert is named as the companion of Count Henry, the king's brother, when he hastened to claim the throne, and he was one of the few magnates (with Henry de Beaumont, earl of Warwick, his brother) to support the new king in his successful campaign to hold the throne against Robert Curthose. Orderic says that it was by his advice that King Henry used generous promises and gifts to secure even those he suspected to his side, until the danger was past and he could safely deal with them. The count is consistently depicted by all sources as the chief counsellor of the new king.

Rufus had augmented Beaumont's small English estate with some isolated grants of manors, but in 1101 Henry I began the process of raising Count Robert to the status of a great magnate in England. The king obliged Ivo de Grandmesnil, lord of Leicester, who had been disloyal the previous year, to mortgage his lands to the count and to go on crusade. Ivo was to resign his lands to the count for 500 marks and betroth his son to a daughter of Henry of Warwick. In the event, Ivo did not return from the East, and his great midlands honour was never restored to his heir. In 1103 Count Robert was in Normandy acting as mouthpiece of the king's interest in the problems concerning the succession to the honour of Breteuil, and he became embroiled in difficulties with Ascelin Goel, lord of Ivry, who kidnapped one of his commercial agents. The end result, however, was that the count skilfully created a network of local support for King Henry in central Normandy, and was able to secure the succession to Breteuil of Eustace de Breteuil, the king's son-in-law. In 1105 the count was excommunicated by Pope Paschal II for his continuing resistance at court to Archbishop Anselm's demand that the king dispense with investiture. Later in the year the archbishop was still unsatisfied with the count's conduct, and blamed him for delaying the implementation of an agreement he had reached with the king at L'Aigle. It was not until 1108 that the count adopted an outlook more pleasing to Anselm, and became ‘a changed character’ as he called him in a letter to the pope. In the meantime Henry I had invaded Normandy late in 1104, and Count Robert played the part of leader of the Norman nobility begging the king to restore order to the duchy. Beaumont was next after the king to have his hair cut to satisfy accusations of luxury made against the court by the bishop of Sées. The count commanded the second column at the battle of Tinchebrai on 28 September 1106, when he must have been in his late fifties, at the least.

In 1107 Count Robert accompanied the king back to England and received a grant of the earldom of Leicester. There has been some doubt raised as to whether Robert took the title ‘earl of Leicester’ as he does not use it in his genuine charters, but in fact he used the titles of Meulan and Leicester on either face of the one surviving impression of his double-sided seal (now in Keele University Library). His earldom was augmented with numerous royal manors and by the subordination of several Domesday honours, such as those of Cahaignes, Guizenboded, and Aubrey de Couci. It was at this point that he had a testament drawn up laying down how his lands were to be divided between his twin sons (born 1104) after his death. His position after the conquest of Normandy was one of unassailable power, and it seems that his connection with the king was so close that he was charged by that politic monarch with the duty of speaking the king's mind and views, particularly in any circumstance where opposition was likely. In 1109, for instance, it was the count who challenged the bishops as to why they had accepted Anselm's prohibition of the consecration of Thomas, elect of York. Although Eadmer assumes that the count was trouble-making, this is a courtly evasion; both he and the bishops knew that the count was speaking the king's mind, hence their fear of the consequences. Attestations reveal that his attendance at the royal court was constant, although we find that in 1110 he was in Meulan, where he supervised the building of a new castle above the town from which he took his title. The count's last datable appearance at the court of Henry I was in February 1116. Henry of Huntingdon describes a gloomy end to his life, plagued by age and depressed by the adultery of his wife with another earl, whom he suggests was working to overthrow Count Robert's influence. This cannot be confirmed, and the gossip about Countess Isabel may simply have arisen from the fact that on the count's death the king promptly married her to William (II) de Warenne, earl of Surrey. Henry of Huntingdon also describes him as dying without absolution because he refused to restore what he had taken from the church, so as to preserve his inheritance intact for his sons. He died on 5 June 1118, in his late sixties, at least. A source stemming from the abbey of La Croix-St Leuffroy indicates that he died in England, conventionally absolved and making restorations; Jumièges Abbey sources note one such in its favour in the county of Meulan. But the fact (recorded by Orderic) that he was buried at Préaux, alongside his father and brother, raises the possibility that he died in Normandy.

His widow was Isabel (d. 1147), daughter of Hugues, count of Vermandois, whom he had married in or about 1101. They had twin sons, Waleran, count of Meulan, and Robert, earl of Leicester, born in 1104, and another son Hugh Poer (that is, the Young), born after 1107 and briefly earl of Bedford after 1138. His eldest child was a daughter Adelina, betrothed to Amaury de Montfort in 1103, but ultimately married to Hugues de Montfort in 1123. He had other daughters: Alberada, married in 1123 to Hugues de Châteauneuf; Matilda, married the same year to Guillaume Louvel of Ivry; and Isabel, or Elizabeth, mistress of King Henry, who married Gilbert de Clare, earl of Pembroke.

Robert de Beaumont was a figure of great political importance in his day: Henry of Huntingdon says that at his whim the kings of France and England were at war one year and at peace the next. William of Malmesbury portrays him as setting the social tone of his age for courtly behaviour and abstinence. Eadmer tells us that he could read Latin, and in this too he may have set the tone for his day: he took care to have his heirs educated to a high standard, and other aristocrats may have copied him in this, as much as the king. He was responsible for the setting-up of an exchequer to monitor his fiscal affairs in England, which must have been the first private financial bureau in northern Europe since the fall of Rome. All contemporary writers agree that he was the greatest and richest man of his day, and this may be no exaggeration. All also state that he was politic and cunning above all his contemporaries, and liable to forget the law and justice in pursuit of his aims. As a patron of the church he was not unmindful of his obligations to his family's foundations. His major patronage went to the abbey of Bec-Hellouin, whose advocacy he struggled to have recognized as his by right of his possession of the castle of Brionne. This was the cause of the first major clash between the count and Anselm, then abbot of Bec, who resisted his attempt. But on Anselm's departure the abbey seems to have capitulated, electing the count's cousin William as the new abbot in 1093. Among many grants, the count transferred to Bec the major collegiate church of St Nicaise of Meulan as a priory in the later 1090s. He set up two collegiate churches, one at St Mary-de-Castro, Leicester, another at St Nicholas in Meulan Castle, and also patronized the minster at Wareham.
