  === Life Sketch ===
  Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick or Henry de Newburgh (died 20 June 1119) was a Norman nobleman who rose to great prominence in the Kingdom of England.
  Henry was a younger son of Roger de Beaumont by Adeline of Meulan, daughter of Waleran III, Count of Meulan, and Oda de Conteville.
  
  Early career
  Henry was given by his father the modest lordship of Le Neubourg, in central Normandy, 12 km (7.5 mi) to the northeast of his father's caput of Beaumont-le-Roger on the River Risle. From this lordship he adopted for himself and his descendants the surname Anglicised to "de Newburgh", frequently Latinised to de Novo Burgo (meaning "from the new borough/town").
  
  Henry was said, by Orderic Vitalis the Norman monk historian, to have been with William the Conqueror on his 1068 campaign in the Midlands when he was supposedly given charge of Warwick Castle, but there is no supporting evidence for this late source. Little is in fact known of his career before 1088. However, he took a leading role in reconciling the Conqueror with his eldest son Robert Curthose in 1081, so he stood high in the Conqueror's favour. In 1088 he was a royal agent in the arrest and trial of the traitorous bishop of Durham, William de Saint-Calais.
  
  Under William II
  Henry acquired a much greater land-holding in England when, in reward for help in suppressing the Rebellion of 1088, King William II made him Earl of Warwick in 1088. The lands of the earldom were put together from several sources. The bulk was provided by the majority of the lands in Warwickshire and elsewhere recorded as those of his elder brother Robert, Count of Meulan in the Domesday Survey of 1086. He also received large royal estates in Rutland and the royal forest of Sutton, which became Sutton Chase. The complicated arrangement to endow his earldom is unprecedented, and must have been the result of a three way arrangement between his father, his brother and the king.
  
  Under Henry I
  Henry became the companion and friend of King Henry I, William II's successor. When a division took place among the barons who had gathered together in the aftermath of the king's sudden death in 1100 to choose a successor, it was mainly owing to de Beaumont's advice that Henry, the conqueror's fourth son, was selected. However, in the following year most of the barons were openly or secretly disloyal and favoured the attempt of Henry's elder brother Robert Curthose, now Duke of Normandy, to gain the Crown. Henry de Beaumont and his brother Robert, King Henry's foremost advisors, were among the few that remained faithful to the King.
  
  Henry acquired the Lordship of Gower in Wales around 1107 from the favour of King Henry and built a castle at Swansea, which was unsuccessfully attacked by the Welsh in 1113; he also captured the Gower Peninsula in south west Glamorgan. He or his barons built other castles at Penrhys, Llanrhidian and Swansea in 1120, together with the others at Oystermouth and Loughor, the only remains of the latter are a mound and a keep.
  
  Marriage and offspring
  Before 1100 Henry married Margaret (died after 1156), daughter of Geoffrey II of Perche and Beatrix of Montdidier, daughter of Hilduin IV, Count of Montdidier.
  They had two daughters and the following sons:
  1. Roger, 2nd Earl of Warwick (c. 1102 - 1153), who succeeded Henry.
  2. Robert de Neubourg (died 1159), who inherited Henry's Norman lands and was Steward of Normandy. Robert's eldest son Henry de Neubourgh (c. 1130 - 1214) inherited his lands in Normandy, while his younger son Roger de Newburgh (c. 1135 - 1192) inherited his lands in Dorset.
  3. Rotrou (died 1183), who was successively Bishop of Évreux and Archbishop of Rouen, Chief Justiciar and Steward of Normandy. In 1167 he led the funeral service of Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I and mother of Henry II.
  4. Geoffrey de Neubourg. He moved to England at the end of 1137 and resided thereafter with his eldest brother Earl Roger of Warwick. He made a number of appearances in Earl Roger's charters as "Geoffrey the earl's brother." When Roger died in 1153 and was succeeded by his son, Earl William, "Geoffrey the earl's uncle" continued to live in the Warwick household. He appears as a ducal justice in Normandy in his later years.
  5. Henry de Neubourg, otherwise known as "Henry of Gower". He re-conquered the family's Welsh estates in around 1136, holding the lordship of Gower throughout the reign of King Stephen.
  
  Death and legacy
  Henry entered the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux before his death and died as a monk there on 20 June 1119. An eighteenth-century woodcut of his tomb in the chapter house, with those of his brother and father beside him, survives, though the abbey is long ruined.

  === Henry was the first who bore the title ===
  Henry was the first who bore the title of Earl of Warwick, to which he was created by William I, but when this eminent person obtained the earldom is not exactly ascertained. Sir Wm. Dugdale presumes the period to have been toward the close of the Conqueror's reign, "for then saith he, King William, having begirt Warwick with a mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and erected the gates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the earldom and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at that time belonged to the crown." Dugdale makes him die 23 of Henry I, 1123. He was buried in Preaux Abbey in Normandy. (This line ended 26 of Henry III, 1242.) Although Henry was made Earl of Warwick by the first Norman sovereign, he was not invested with all the lands attached thereto until the ensuing reign, when on the accession of William Rufus he received the inheritance of the Saxon Earl of Warwick, Turchitel, who at the time of the conquest had the reputation of Earl and gained the favor of the Conqueror by espousing his cause and was rewarded by being allowed to retain Warwick. From this time the Earls of Warwick used the "bear and ragged staff," the device of Turchil's family, derived from the chivalrous Guy, Earl of Warwick, famed for his marvelous feats related in the Saxon Chronicles, and has continued as the badge of the Earls of Warwick. The name of this Henry, Earl of Warwick, appears as a witness to the charter of King Henry I, whereby that Prince confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor and granted many other immunities to the clergy and laity. He was memorable for his donations for pious foundations as well for his military record. He died in 1123. He married Margaret, sister of Rotrode, Earl of Perch, and daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Moreton. They had two daughters, names unknown. and five sons: Roger, Henry, Geoffrey, Rotrode and Robert.

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “GUNDRED DE WARENNE, married (1st) before 1130 ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, by Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Perche. He was probably a minor in 1119. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Warwick] Waleran [4th Earl of Warwick], and Henry, and three daughters, Gundred (wife of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Roger de Glanville), Margaret, and Agnes (wife of Geoffrey de Clinton the younger). He joined his parents, Henry and Margaret, in an undated grant of property to Warwick St. Mary. He succeeded to the earldom in 1123, before Easter, presumably when he came of age. He completed the foundation of the collegiate church of St. Mary and All Saints, Warwick c.1123. He attested charters of King Henry I, the two latest in 1131. After the accession of King Stephen, he was at the Easter court in 1136 at Westminster. He witnessed the king's charter of liberties at Oxford in April 1136. Following the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he joined the Empress Maud of his own free will. He served with her at the Siege of Winchester in 1141, but early in 1142 he was with King Stephen at Stamford. At an unknown date he allowed Warwick Castle to be garrisoned by Stephen's troops. In 1153 he was with the king when he heard that the garrison had been tricked by Henry's knights and the Castle surrendered. He founded the Templars' House and St. Michael's Hospital, both in Warwick, and completed the foundation of Warwick Priory. ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, died in 1153. In the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II [1158-9], his widow, Gundred, had remission granted of the scutage upon 20 knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. She married (2nd) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE LANCASTER (also known as WILLIAM FITZ GILBERT), of Kendal, Westmorland, Lamplugh, Muncaster, and Workington, Cumberland, Garstang, Ulverston, Warton, and Wyresdale, Lancashire, etc., son and heir of Gilbert, by his wife, Godith. In the period, 1150-5, Roger de Mowbray granted him all his land of Lonsdale, Kendal, and Horton in Ribblesdale. In the period, 1153-60, he was granted lands in Gastang, Ulverston, and Warton, Lancashire by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. In the period, 1153-6, he and his wife, Gundred, and his son and heir, William, granted the canons of St. Mary de Pré, Leicester the manor and church of Cockerham, Lancashire. In the period, 1156-60, he added common of pasture throughout his fee in Lonsdale and Amoundemess. His wife, Gundred, Countess of Warwick, was living in 1166. WILLIAM DE LANCASTER died before Michaelmas 1170, when Richard de Morville proferred 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with Avice his wife, daughter of the said William.

  Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, so created between July and Dec 1088 and granted lands which up till two years previously had belonged to a Saxon Thane, Turkill or Turchil of Arden (an ancestor of William Shakespeare); born c1048; granted feudal Lordship of Gower, South Wales by Henry I some time between 1106 and 1116; married Margaret (died in or after 1156), daughter of Geoffrey, Count de Perche, and died most probably 20 June 1119.

  Earldom of Warwick: Apart from the period 1618 to 1759 the various creations and descents of the Earldom of Warwick have been to and among grantees connected by blood, however tenuously. That is remarkable, given that the period stretches to nearly a thousand years. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2944]
  
  -----------------------
  
  The first who bore the title of Earl of Warwick, after the Norman Conquest, was Henry de Newburgh (so called from the castle of that name in Normandy), a younger son of Roger de Bellomont, Earl of Mellent. When this eminent person obtained that earldom is not exactly ascertained, but Sir William Dugdale presumed the period to be toward the close of the Conqueror's reign, "for then," saith he, "King William, having begirt Warwick with a mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and erected the gates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the earldom, and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at that time belonged to the crown." But, though Henry de Newburgh was made Earl of Warwick by the first Norman sovereign, he was not invested with all the lands attached to the earldom until the ensuing reign, as we find William Rufus, soon after his accession to the throne, conferring upon him the whole inheritance of Turchil de Warwick, a Saxon, who, at the coming of Duke William, had the reputation of earl; and thenceforth the "bear and ragged staff," the device of Turchil's family derived from the chivalrous Guy, Earl of Warwick, was assumed by the first of the Newburgh dynasty, and it has been continued ever since as a badge of the successive Earls of Warwick. The name of this Henry, Earl of Warwick, appears as a witness to the charter of King Henry I, whereby that prince confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor, and granted many other immunities to the clergy and laity. His lordship m. Margaret, dau. of Geffrey, Count de Moreton, and sister of Rotrode, Earl of Perch, and had issue, two daus., whose names are not mentioned, and five sons, viz., Roger, his successor; Henry; Geffrey; Rotrode, bishop of Evreux; and Robert, seneschal and justice of Normandy, who was a great benefactor to the abbey of Bec in which he was afterwards shorn a monk and d. in 1123.
  
  This Earl Henry commenced imparking Wedgenock, near his castle of Warwick, following the example of his sovereign, King Henry, who made the first park that had ever been in England, at Woodstock. His lordship, who was as memorable for pious foundations as distinguished for military achievements, d. in 1123 and was s. by his eldest son, Roger de Newburgh. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 399, Newburgh, Earls of Warwick]
  
  --------------------
  
  The earldom of Warwick was created by William II in 1088 for Henry de Beaumont, who had held Warwick castle since its building by William the Conqueror 20 years before.
  
  Henry, younger brother of Robert, count of Meulan, was lord of Neubourg, near Beaumont-le-Roger in Normandy, and Rufus gave him the great midland estate of the English noble, Thurkill of Arden. The new earl was an intimate friend of Henry I, whose succession he did much to promote. He died in 1123 and was buried at Preaux (Normandy). Roger, his eldest son, held the earldom until his death in 1153. [Encyclopædia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 23, p. 375, EARLS OF WARWICK]
  
  ________________
  
  Henry de Newburgh, Neubourg, or Beaumont, Earl of Warwick (d 1123), called after his lordship Neubourg, near Beaumont-le-Roger, Normandy, younger son of Roger de Beaumont and Adeline, daughter of Waleran, count of Meulan, is spoken of by Wace as a brave knight in 1066. His name is included in some Battle Abbey Rolls, but his presence at Hastings seems a matter of inference, and the prowess of his elder brother Robert is mentioned without any notice of him. When the Conqueror built the castle at Warwick in 1068 he gave it into the keeping of Henry, who, however, probably lived in Normandy during the greater part of the reign; for his name does not appear in Domesday, and he was in 080 a baron of the Norman exchequer. In that year he, in common with his father and brother, persmacded the Conqueror to be reconciled to his son Robert at Rouen. He was made Earl of Warwick by William II, probably early in his reign, and received from the king the lands of a rich English noble, Thurkill of Arden; for as Thurkill's successor he claimed certain lands in Warwickshire that Thurkill had given to the abbey of Abingdon. The abbot, to secure his goodwill and obtain a confirmation of the grant, offered him a mark of gold, which he accepted and confirmed the grant.
  
  He was a friend and companion of the Conqueror's youngest son Henry, and when there was a division among the lords who met to choose a successor to William II in 1100, it was mainly owing to his advice that they chose Henry. He was a witness to the charter of liberties that Henry published at his coronation, signed the king's letter recalling Archbishop Anselm, and was no doubt a member of the inner circle of Henry's counsellors. When most of Henry's lords were either openly or decretly disloyal and favoured the attempt of Duke Robert in 1101, Earl Henry and his brother were among the few that were faithful to the king. He held, and is said to have built, a castle near Abertawy, or Swansea, which was unsuccessfuly attacked by the Welsh in 1113. Jointly with his brother he was patron of the abbey of Preaux, near Pont Audemer in Normandy, which had been build by his grandfather, Humphrey de Vielles, and where his father Roger, had ended his days as a monk in 1094. Both the brothers loved and greatly enriched the house and Henry gave the monks the maor and church of Warmington in Warwickshire, where they founded a hospital, or priory, of Austin canons at Warwick in honour of the holy sepulchre, and of that order, which was finished by his eldest son Roger, and largeley endowed the church of St Mary, at Warwick, intending to make it collegiate, which was afterwards done by Roger. He also began to form Wedgnock Park, near Warwick, in imitation of the park that King Henry formed at Woodstock. He died on 20 June 1123, as was buried with his fathers in the abbey of Preaux. Less prominent and les ambitious than his brother, he was held in high repute; for he was prudent, active, upright, and law-abiding, of pleasant disposition and holy life. By his wife Margaret, elder daughter of Geoffrey, count of Perche, he had five sons, Roger de Beaumont (who succeeded him as Earl of Warwick, and died 1153), Henry, Robert de Neubourg (who succeeded to his father's Norman estates, became seneschal and chief justiciar of Normandy, was a benefactor to the abbey of Bec, assumed the monastic habit there, and in 1185 died and was buried at Bec), Geoffrey, and Rotrou, who became archdeacon of Rouen, was consecrated bishop of Evreux in 1130, was translated to the archbishopric of Rouen in 1165, and died in 1188. He also had tow daughter. His countess Margaret, was beautiful and was famed for her noble and religious character. She was a benefactor to the Knights Templars and to the canons of Kenilworth.

  Henry De Neubourg
  Henry was the younger son of Roger De Beaumont and Adeline of Meulan. He inherited the modest lordship of La Neubourg, in central Normandy, but acquired a much greater holding in England, when, in reward for help in suppressing the Rebellion of 1088, William II of England made him Earl of Warwick. Henry was one of those who immediately supported Henry I after the death of William II. He had been close to Henry II before the latter became king, and remained loyal (along with his brother) to the king when his rule was challenged by Robert Curthose. Some time between 1106 and 1116 he was granted the lordship of Gower in Wales. Henry was by disposition quiet and retiring, and was overshadowed by his elder brother Robert of Meulan, reputedly one of the most brilliant men in England. He married Marguerite, daughter of Geoffrey II of Perche. (Wikipedia)

Dugdale presumes the period to have been toward the close of the Conqueror's reign, "for then saith he, King William, having begirt Warwick with a mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and erected the gates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the earldom and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at that time belonged to the crown."

  === Life Sketch ===
  Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick or Henry de Newburgh (died 20 June 1119) was a Norman nobleman who rose to great prominence in the Kingdom of England.
  Henry was a younger son of Roger de Beaumont by Adeline of Meulan, daughter of Waleran III, Count of Meulan, and Oda de Conteville.
  
  Early career
  Henry was given by his father the modest lordship of Le Neubourg, in central Normandy, 12 km (7.5 mi) to the northeast of his father's caput of Beaumont-le-Roger on the River Risle. From this lordship he adopted for himself and his descendants the surname Anglicised to "de Newburgh", frequently Latinised to de Novo Burgo (meaning "from the new borough/town").
  
  Henry was said, by Orderic Vitalis the Norman monk historian, to have been with William the Conqueror on his 1068 campaign in the Midlands when he was supposedly given charge of Warwick Castle, but there is no supporting evidence for this late source. Little is in fact known of his career before 1088. However, he took a leading role in reconciling the Conqueror with his eldest son Robert Curthose in 1081, so he stood high in the Conqueror's favour. In 1088 he was a royal agent in the arrest and trial of the traitorous bishop of Durham, William de Saint-Calais.
  
  Under William II
  Henry acquired a much greater land-holding in England when, in reward for help in suppressing the Rebellion of 1088, King William II made him Earl of Warwick in 1088. The lands of the earldom were put together from several sources. The bulk was provided by the majority of the lands in Warwickshire and elsewhere recorded as those of his elder brother Robert, Count of Meulan in the Domesday Survey of 1086. He also received large royal estates in Rutland and the royal forest of Sutton, which became Sutton Chase. The complicated arrangement to endow his earldom is unprecedented, and must have been the result of a three way arrangement between his father, his brother and the king.
  
  Under Henry I
  Henry became the companion and friend of King Henry I, William II's successor. When a division took place among the barons who had gathered together in the aftermath of the king's sudden death in 1100 to choose a successor, it was mainly owing to de Beaumont's advice that Henry, the conqueror's fourth son, was selected. However, in the following year most of the barons were openly or secretly disloyal and favoured the attempt of Henry's elder brother Robert Curthose, now Duke of Normandy, to gain the Crown. Henry de Beaumont and his brother Robert, King Henry's foremost advisors, were among the few that remained faithful to the King.
  
  Henry acquired the Lordship of Gower in Wales around 1107 from the favour of King Henry and built a castle at Swansea, which was unsuccessfully attacked by the Welsh in 1113; he also captured the Gower Peninsula in south west Glamorgan. He or his barons built other castles at Penrhys, Llanrhidian and Swansea in 1120, together with the others at Oystermouth and Loughor, the only remains of the latter are a mound and a keep.
  
  Marriage and offspring
  Before 1100 Henry married Margaret (died after 1156), daughter of Geoffrey II of Perche and Beatrix of Montdidier, daughter of Hilduin IV, Count of Montdidier.
  They had two daughters and the following sons:
  1. Roger, 2nd Earl of Warwick (c. 1102 – 1153), who succeeded Henry.
  2. Robert de Neubourg (died 1159), who inherited Henry's Norman lands and was Steward of Normandy. Robert's eldest son Henry de Neubourgh (c. 1130 – 1214) inherited his lands in Normandy, while his younger son Roger de Newburgh (c. 1135 – 1192) inherited his lands in Dorset.
  3. Rotrou (died 1183), who was successively Bishop of Évreux and Archbishop of Rouen, Chief Justiciar and Steward of Normandy. In 1167 he led the funeral service of Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I and mother of Henry II.
  4. Geoffrey de Neubourg. He moved to England at the end of 1137 and resided thereafter with his eldest brother Earl Roger of Warwick. He made a number of appearances in Earl Roger's charters as "Geoffrey the earl's brother." When Roger died in 1153 and was succeeded by his son, Earl William, "Geoffrey the earl's uncle" continued to live in the Warwick household. He appears as a ducal justice in Normandy in his later years.
  5. Henry de Neubourg, otherwise known as "Henry of Gower". He re-conquered the family's Welsh estates in around 1136, holding the lordship of Gower throughout the reign of King Stephen.
  
  Death and legacy
  Henry entered the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux before his death and died as a monk there on 20 June 1119. An eighteenth-century woodcut of his tomb in the chapter house, with those of his brother and father beside him, survives, though the abbey is long ruined.

  === Royal Ancestry Biography ===
  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “GUNDRED DE WARENNE, married (1st) before 1130 ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, son and heir of Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick, by Margaret, daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Perche. He was probably a minor in 1119. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Warwick] Waleran [4th Earl of Warwick], and Henry, and three daughters, Gundred (wife of Hugh le Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Roger de Glanville), Margaret, and Agnes (wife of Geoffrey de Clinton the younger). He joined his parents, Henry and Margaret, in an undated grant of property to Warwick St. Mary. He succeeded to the earldom in 1123, before Easter, presumably when he came of age. He completed the foundation of the collegiate church of St. Mary and All Saints, Warwick c.1123. He attested charters of King Henry I, the two latest in 1131. After the accession of King Stephen, he was at the Easter court in 1136 at Westminster. He witnessed the king's charter of liberties at Oxford in April 1136. Following the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, he joined the Empress Maud of his own free will. He served with her at the Siege of Winchester in 1141, but early in 1142 he was with King Stephen at Stamford. At an unknown date he allowed Warwick Castle to be garrisoned by Stephen's troops. In 1153 he was with the king when he heard that the garrison had been tricked by Henry's knights and the Castle surrendered. He founded the Templars' House and St. Michael's Hospital, both in Warwick, and completed the foundation of Warwick Priory. ROGER, 2nd Earl of Warwick, died in 1153. In the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II [1158-9], his widow, Gundred, had remission granted of the scutage upon 20 knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. She married (2nd) (as his 2nd wife) WILLIAM DE LANCASTER (also known as WILLIAM FITZ GILBERT), of Kendal, Westmorland, Lamplugh, Muncaster, and Workington, Cumberland, Garstang, Ulverston, Warton, and Wyresdale, Lancashire, etc., son and heir of Gilbert, by his wife, Godith. In the period, 1150-5, Roger de Mowbray granted him all his land of Lonsdale, Kendal, and Horton in Ribblesdale. In the period, 1153-60, he was granted lands in Gastang, Ulverston, and Warton, Lancashire by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. In the period, 1153-6, he and his wife, Gundred, and his son and heir, William, granted the canons of St. Mary de Pré, Leicester the manor and church of Cockerham, Lancashire. In the period, 1156-60, he added common of pasture throughout his fee in Lonsdale and Amoundemess. His wife, Gundred, Countess of Warwick, was living in 1166. WILLIAM DE LANCASTER died before Michaelmas 1170, when Richard de Morville proferred 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with Avice his wife, daughter of the said William.

  Henry was the younger son of Roger De Beaumont and Adeline of Meulan. He inherited the modest lordship of La Neubourg, in central Normandy, but acquired a much greater holding in England, when, in reward for help in suppressing the Rebellion of 1088, William II of England made him Earl of Warwick. Henry was one of those who immediately supported Henry I after the death of William II. He had been close to Henry II before the latter became king, and remained loyal (along with his brother) to the king when his rule was challenged by Robert Curthose. Some time between 1106 and 1116 he was granted the lordship of Gower in Wales. Henry was by disposition quiet and retiring, and was overshadowed by his elder brother Robert of Meulan, reputedly one of the most brilliant men in England.

  Earldom of Warwick: Apart from the period 1618 to 1759 the various creations and descents of the Earldom of Warwick have been to and among grantees connected by blood, however tenuously. That is remarkable, given that the period stretches to nearly a thousand years. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2944]
  
  -----------------------
  
  The first who bore the title of Earl of Warwick, after the Norman Conquest, was Henry de Newburgh (so called from the castle of that name in Normandy), a younger son of Roger de Bellomont, Earl of Mellent. When this eminent person obtained that earldom is not exactly ascertained, but Sir William Dugdale presumed the period to be toward the close of the Conqueror's reign, "for then," saith he, "King William, having begirt Warwick with a mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and erected the gates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the earldom, and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at that time belonged to the crown." But, though Henry de Newburgh was made Earl of Warwick by the first Norman sovereign, he was not invested with all the lands attached to the earldom until the ensuing reign, as we find William Rufus, soon after his accession to the throne, conferring upon him the whole inheritance of Turchil de Warwick, a Saxon, who, at the coming of Duke William, had the reputation of earl; and thenceforth the "bear and ragged staff," the device of Turchil's family derived from the chivalrous Guy, Earl of Warwick, was assumed by the first of the Newburgh dynasty, and it has been continued ever since as a badge of the successive Earls of Warwick. The name of this Henry, Earl of Warwick, appears as a witness to the charter of King Henry I, whereby that prince confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor, and granted many other immunities to the clergy and laity. His lordship m. Margaret, dau. of Geffrey, Count de Moreton, and sister of Rotrode, Earl of Perch, and had issue, two daus., whose names are not mentioned, and five sons, viz., Roger, his successor; Henry; Geffrey; Rotrode, bishop of Evreux; and Robert, seneschal and justice of Normandy, who was a great benefactor to the abbey of Bec in which he was afterwards shorn a monk and d. in 1123.
  
  This Earl Henry commenced imparking Wedgenock, near his castle of Warwick, following the example of his sovereign, King Henry, who made the first park that had ever been in England, at Woodstock. His lordship, who was as memorable for pious foundations as distinguished for military achievements, d. in 1123 and was s. by his eldest son, Roger de Newburgh. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 399, Newburgh, Earls of Warwick]
  
  --------------------
  
  The earldom of Warwick was created by William II in 1088 for Henry de Beaumont, who had held Warwick castle since its building by William the Conqueror 20 years before.
  
  Henry, younger brother of Robert, count of Meulan, was lord of Neubourg, near Beaumont-le-Roger in Normandy, and Rufus gave him the great midland estate of the English noble, Thurkill of Arden. The new earl was an intimate friend of Henry I, whose succession he did much to promote. He died in 1123 and was buried at Preaux (Normandy). Roger, his eldest son, held the earldom until his death in 1153. [Encyclopædia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 23, p. 375, EARLS OF WARWICK]

  Henry de Newburgh, Neubourg, or Beaumont, Earl of Warwick (d 1123), called after his lordship Neubourg, near Beaumont-le-Roger, Normandy, younger son of Roger de Beaumont and Adeline, daughter of Waleran, count of Meulan, is spoken of by Wace as a brave knight in 1066. His name is included in some Battle Abbey Rolls, but his presence at Hastings seems a matter of inference, and the prowess of his elder brother Robert is mentioned without any notice of him. When the Conqueror built the castle at Warwick in 1068 he gave it into the keeping of Henry, who, however, probably lived in Normandy during the greater part of the reign; for his name does not appear in Domesday, and he was in 080 a baron of the Norman exchequer. In that year he, in common with his father and brother, persmacded the Conqueror to be reconciled to his son Robert at Rouen. He was made Earl of Warwick by William II, probably early in his reign, and received from the king the lands of a rich English noble, Thurkill of Arden; for as Thurkill's successor he claimed certain lands in Warwickshire that Thurkill had given to the abbey of Abingdon. The abbot, to secure his goodwill and obtain a confirmation of the grant, offered him a mark of gold, which he accepted and confirmed the grant.
  
  He was a friend and companion of the Conqueror's youngest son Henry, and when there was a division among the lords who met to choose a successor to William II in 1100, it was mainly owing to his advice that they chose Henry. He was a witness to the charter of liberties that Henry published at his coronation, signed the king's letter recalling Archbishop Anselm, and was no doubt a member of the inner circle of Henry's counsellors. When most of Henry's lords were either openly or decretly disloyal and favoured the attempt of Duke Robert in 1101, Earl Henry and his brother were among the few that were faithful to the king. He held, and is said to have built, a castle near Abertawy, or Swansea, which was unsuccessfuly attacked by the Welsh in 1113. Jointly with his brother he was patron of the abbey of Preaux, near Pont Audemer in Normandy, which had been build by his grandfather, Humphrey de Vielles, and where his father Roger, had ended his days as a monk in 1094. Both the brothers loved and greatly enriched the house and Henry gave the monks the maor and church of Warmington in Warwickshire, where they founded a hospital, or priory, of Austin canons at Warwick in honour of the holy sepulchre, and of that order, which was finished by his eldest son Roger, and largeley endowed the church of St Mary, at Warwick, intending to make it collegiate, which was afterwards done by Roger. He also began to form Wedgnock Park, near Warwick, in imitation of the park that King Henry formed at Woodstock. He died on 20 June 1123, as was buried with his fathers in the abbey of Preaux. Less prominent and les ambitious than his brother, he was held in high repute; for he was prudent, active, upright, and law-abiding, of pleasant disposition and holy life. By his wife Margaret, elder daughter of Geoffrey, count of Perche, he had five sons, Roger de Beaumont (who succeeded him as Earl of Warwick, and died 1153), Henry, Robert de Neubourg (who succeeded to his father's Norman estates, became seneschal and chief justiciar of Normandy, was a benefactor to the abbey of Bec, assumed the monastic habit there, and in 1185 died and was buried at Bec), Geoffrey, and Rotrou, who became archdeacon of Rouen, was consecrated bishop of Evreux in 1130, was translated to the archbishopric of Rouen in 1165, and died in 1188. He also had tow daughter. His countess Margaret, was beautiful and was famed for her noble and religious character. She was a benefactor to the Knights Templars and to the canons of Kenilworth.
