  BARONY OF TREGOZ (I)
  
  JOHN DE TREGOZ, son and heir, was granted quittance of common summons for Sussex, 1271, and for co. Hereford, 1272, in which counties he alienated lands in 1280 and 1277; and he and his wife Mabel were granted free warren in Iden and Iham, Sussex, 11 June 1271. He was on the King's service in Wales, 1277, 1282 and 1287; was ordered to aid the royal officials in Wales, 1287 and 1288; and men were recruited from his lands to supply armies against the Welsh in 1294. On 14 June 1287 he was summoned to a military council at Gloucester; and in January and February 1290/1 he was summoned as a witness in the dispute between the Earls of Hereford and Gloucester. He served in Scotland, 1292, 1296 and 1297, and in Gascony, 1294. He was summoned to Parliament from 26 January 1296/7 to 10 April 1299, by writs directed Johanni de Tregoz, whereby he is held to have become LORD TREGOZ. In March 1296/7 he was ordered to aid the sheriff of Hereford in punishing those who disturbed the realm, being also one of the Commissioners concerning the clergy, for many of whom he vouched. He was summoned for service across the seas, May following; and was one of the council to advise the King's son, Oct. 1297. In 1298 he served again in Scotland, where he was present at the battle of Falkirk, 22 July, and afterwards at Stirling. He made several grants to Ewyas Harold priory, confirmed grants which had been made to Dore abbey, co. Hereford, and to Newark, by Guildford, priory, and (November 1283) endowed a chapel on the manor of Eaton Tregoz.
  
  He married, 1stly, Mabel, widow of William DE CREVEQUER (who died v.p. and s.p. before 6 April 1263), daughter of Sir Fulk FITZWARIN, of Whittingtoll, Salop, and Alveston, co. Gloucester.

  SIR JOHN TREGOZE, LORD BARON TREGOZE, only son and heir [of Robert & Juliana Cantilupe], did homage and obtained livery of his father's lands 52nd Hen. III. (1268), and stood in such favour with royalty that, notwithstanding his father's treason, he was acquitted of 50 marks of 100?. then due for his relief; after which he attended Edward I. into Wales, in the expedition made thither in the early part of his reign.
  
  By the Plac, de quo warranto, we find John Treooze, in 8th Edw. I. summoned to show by what title be claimed wrecks, waifs, and estrays, in his manor of Burneham, in Somersetshire; when he showed that it was the right of his ancestors and no usurpation of the royal prerogative. In the following year he was summoned to show why he claimed free warren in Lydyard Tregoze, in Wilts, without the King's licence; and in 20th Edw. I. he received a like summons regarding the manor of Retby in Irchingfield, in Herefordshire, when he answered he held it with Mabelia his wife, and would not show his title without her. In the 20th Edw. I. he was also summoned to prove his title to divers other prerogatives, viz. the correcting the infrinuement of the assize of bread and ale, and the holding Crown Pleas within his manor of Mathuenleye and Eton; when he showed they had been his ancestors' rights immemorially.
  
  In 13 Edw. I. (1284-5) he obtained licence to hold either a fair, or had free warren granted, at the following places, Eton in Herefordshire, Burneham and Cheleworth in Somersetshire, Lydiard and Alinton in Wilts; and in 22nd Edw. I. being in the campaign of Gascony, he had permission for his wife and family to reside in Devizes castle, and to have fires there.
  
  This Baron, during the latter part of his life was summoned to Parliament by writ as one of the Majores Barones; viz. on 26 Jan. 1296, 25th Edw. I. and on 6 Feb. 1299, 27th Edw. I.; and in the year 1300 was summoned to perform military service against the Scotch; but his death prevented it; for he died 21 Aug. 28th Edw. I. (1300), and was buried 12 kal. Sept. 28th Edw. 1. in the Priory of St. Augustin at Bristol.
  
  By the two Inq. post mort. made after that event, one in 28th, and the other 29th Edw. I., we find that he died seised of an immense inheritance, viz. the castle and honour of Ewyas Harold with its members in the Marches of Wales, which he held by barony, the manor of Eton Tregoze in Herefordshire, and numerous estates in Wilts, Northamptonshire, and Salop, &c.; a mandate to seize for the King the lands of John Tregoze defunct, being issued to Walter de Gloucester in 28th Edw. I.
  
  Long before this John Tregoze had married Mabel, daughter of Foulk Lord Fitzwarren; and this lady owned the manor of Weston in Bedfordshire, and the hamlet of Sturden, in Gloucestersbire, as appears by her Inq. post mortem, made 25th Edw. I. (1296-7) she being described in the record as his wife. By her John Lord Tregoze had only two daughters. [The Topographer and Genealogist, Volume II, 1853]

The second daughter, Sibilla Tregoze, who was still alive when her father died, married William de Grandison.

  === Wikipedia Biography ===
  from Wikipedia: Ewyas (Welsh: Ewias) was a possible early Welsh kingdom which may have been formed around the time of the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. The name was later used for a much smaller commote or administrative sub-division, which covered the area of the modern Vale of Ewyas (now within Monmouthshire, Wales) and a larger area to the east including the villages of Ewyas Harold and Ewyas Lacy (now within Herefordshire, England). A legendary kingdom: Some researchers interpret the evidence of the medieval Llandaff charters to suggest that early Ewyas may have encompassed much of south-east Wales, including the later kingdoms of Gwent and Ergyng. However, these sources are open to several interpretations and this is not generally accepted by mainstream historians. Geoffrey of Monmouth gives the legend of Octavius (Welsh: Eudaf), "earl of Ewyas and Ergyng", in his famous pseudo-history Historia Regum Britanniae, making him a descendant of Caratacus who had led the Silures in battle against the Romans. According to Geoffrey, he took up a supposed "British High Kingship" after defeating Trahern, the brother of King Coel Godhebog, in the late third or early fourth century. There is no historical evidence to corroborate this and Coel's reign in the Hen Ogledd is usually placed in the 5th century. In the Welsh versions of the Historia, such as Brut Dingestow, Octavius is called Eudaf; this is the same legendary figure that appears in Breuddwyd Macsen Wledig as father of Elen, wife of Macsen Wledig, and living near Segontium in north Wales.[1][2]
  
  An 8th-century charter relating to the church at Clodock includes an account of its origin at a time when Clydawg, "king in Ewyas" was murdered while on a hunting expedition, and an oratory was built to commemorate his martyrdom.[3]
  
  Cantref: Whatever the origins of Ewyas may be, north of the present site of Longtown, a religious centre dedicated to St. Beuno was founded at Llanveynoe, where what is probably the oldest stone cross in the modern county of Herefordshire stands, from around 600 AD. At around the same time, a religious centre may have been founded at Llanthony, on the site of the later Priory.[4] In the mid 10th century there were seven cantrefs in Glamorgan, including "Ystradyw and Ewyas".
  Lordship
  
  In about 1046 Osbern Pentecost, a Norman follower of Edward the Confessor, built a motte and bailey castle at Ewyas Harold, believed to be one of the first built in Britain. Following the Norman Conquest, Ewyas remained in Welsh hands briefly under Rhydderch ap Caradog, apparently a client ruler of Ewyas obeisant to William the Conqueror. It was then granted to the Norman retainer Walter de Lacy[3]
  
  By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Ewyas or Ewias was an autonomous area bounded by the Black Mountains in the west, Graig Syfyrddin in the south, the line of the Golden Valley in the east, and Yager Hill and Cefn Hill to the north, just below the village of Clifford Castle near Hay-on-Wye.[5] Domesday records that Alfred of Marlborough held the castle of Ewyas of the king; this was presumably the re-built Pentecost Castle.[4] Land around Ewyas Harold Castle was held by Walter's son Roger de Lacy.[3]
  
  Ewyas became a Marcher lordship, largely independent of the English crown. Further motte and bailey castles were built at Walterstone, Llancillo, Rowlestone and Clodock, followed after 1216 by Longtown Castle, presiding over the newly founded borough of Longtown. The line of de Lacys ended in 1241, when the Lordship of Ewyas Lacy was divided Into Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.
  
  In 1536 the administration of Wales was reorganized, and the border between Herefordshire and Wales took more or less its present form, with the county of Herefordshire assimilating the Welsh territory of Ewyas Lacy. The Llanthony valley, or Vale of Ewyas, became part of the hundred of Abergavenny, within Monmouthshire. In 1852 the Parishes of Clodock with Longtown, Michaelchurch Escley, Craswall, St Margarets, Ewyas Harold, Rowlestone, Llancillo, Walterstone, Dulas and Llanveynoe were transferred from the diocese of St David's to that of Hereford. To the west of Hatterall Ridge, the other old parishes of Ewyas – Llanthony, Cwmyoy and Oldcastle - were transferred from St David's to the diocese of Llandaff.[6]

  Sir John Tregoze, Lord Baron Tregoze, only son and heir, did homage and obtained livery of his fathers' lands 52nd of Henry III, 1268, and stood in such favour with royalty that, notwithstanding his father's treason against Henry III, he was acquitted of 50 marks of œ100, then due for his relief, after which he attended Edward I on the expedition into Wales. This Baron, during the latter part of his life, was summoned to Parliament from Jan. 26, 1296, to Feb. 6, 1299, and in 1300 was summoned to perform military service against the Scotch, but his death prevented it, for he died Aug. 21, 1300. He died seized of an immense inheritance. He married Mabel, daughter of Foulk, Lord FitzWarine, and this lady owned the Manor of Weston, in Bedfordshire, and the Hamlet of Sturden in Gloucester. By her Lord Tregoze had only two daughters, Clarissa, who married John de la Warre, and Sibilla, of whom further. At his lordship's decease the barony of Tregoze fell into abeyance between his grandson, John de la Warre, and his 2nd daughter, Sybilla de Grandison, as it still continues with their representatives.
