=== BASSET (a) (of Drayton)
RALPH BASSET, s ===
BASSET (a) (of Drayton)
RALPH BASSET, son and heir of Ralph Basset, of Drayton, co. Stafford, and of Colston Basset, Notts (b), was summoned to Parliament 24 December 1264, by writ directed Radulfo Basset de Drayton; which writ however, having issued in rebellion, should not create a peerage dignity.
He married Margaret, daughter of Roger de Somery, of Dudlcy, co. Worcester, by his 1st wife (to whom she was daughter and cohheir), Nicole, daughter and eventually coheir of William (d'AUBIGNY), EARL OF ARUNDEL. He died 4 August 1265, being slain at the battle of Evesham fighting against the King, who, however, continued the estates to his widow and son, as her father had fought for the King at Evesham. His widow married before 26 January 1I270/1, as 2nd wife, Ralph DE CROMWELL, Of Cromwell, Notts, and West Hallam, co. Derby, who died shortly before 18 September 1289. She took the veil shortly before 18 June 1293. [Complete Peerage II:1-2, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(a) In Dugdale's "Usage of Arms", are given the numerous variations (for the sake of "difference") in the armorial ensigns borne by the various members of the Basset family. From this it would appear that the house of Weldon, and that of Drayton, both of whom derived from the elder sons of Richard Basset by Maud, daughter and heir of Geoffrey Ridel (a powerful feudal Baron, whose lands they inherited), adopted the "3 piles" (the Ridel coat), but that William Basset (ancestor of the house of Sapcote, being the youngest son of the said William and Maud), "having no advancement by the house of Rydell, retained "Undie" the devise of the Bassets, and only changed the colours thereof (from gold and red) into silver and black. But, about the time of Edward III, Simon Basset, Baron of Sapcote (descended from the forenamed William) and Sir John Basset of Blore (also so descended), both of them (I know not the case why) at one instant (as I think) relinquished their devise of "Undie" and invested themselves into "Ridels" (ie. the 3 piles with certain variations). [G.E. Cokayne] J. H. Round, however points out that all this is invalidated by the fact that Geoffrey Ridel d. as early as 1120, when there cannot have existed a family coat of Ridel. [Vicary Gibbs]
(b) This Ralph, who d. 1254-61, was son of Ralph, who d. 1211, son of Ralph who d. 1160, son of Richard Basset, Justiciar temp. Henry I, who held Drayton through his marriage with Maud Ridel, and d. 1144.
------------------------------------
"Immediately after the Norman conquest," says Collins, "arose into power and importance, more especially in the midland counties, the great baronial family of Basset" (descended from Thurston the Norman), which gave a chief justice to England in the reign of Henry I, in the person of Ralph Basset, from whom sprang the Lords Basset of Drayton, the Lords Basset of Heddington, &c. About the middle of the 12th century, the Bassets of Cornwall obtained the estates of Tehidy by marriage with the heiress of the great house of de Dunstanville. In the 42nd year of King Henry III (1257-8), Ralph Basset, Lord of Drayton, co. Stafford, [great-]great-grandson of Richard Basset, justice of England, and his wife, Maud Ridel, had summons (amongst other great men) to attend the king at Chester, well furnished with horse and arms, to oppose the incursions of the Welsh. But in the 48th of the same monarch, having joined Simon Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and the other rebellious barons, he was appointed the next year, after the defeat of the king's arms at Lewes, and capture of the king, governor for those lords of the castles of Salop and Bruges. He fell, however, before the close of the same year at the battle of Evesham. It is said that when the Earl of Leicester perceived the great force and order of the royal army, calculating upon defeat, he conjured Ralph Basset and Hugh Dispenser to retire and reserve themselves for better times but they bravely answers, "that if he perished, they would not desire to live." Lord Basset m. Margaret, dau. of Roger de Someri, Baron of Dudley, and widow of Uriah St. Pierre, and had issue, Ralph, and Maud. Notwithstanding the death of Lord Basset, thus in arms against the king, his widow was so favoured by the monarch as to have the chief of his estates settled upon her for life, but soon afterwards, taking the veil, she passed her title in those lands to her son, Ralph Basset. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 26-7, Basset, Barons Basset, of Drayton]
_____________________
Ralph Basset (d 1265), baronial leader, was lord of Drayton in Staffordshire, and, joining the baronial party against Henry III, was appointed by them custos pacis for Shropshire and Staffordshire on 7 June 1264, and was summoned to Simon de Montfort's parliament on 4 Dec 1264 as Ralph Basset 'de Drayton'. He fell at Evesham by De Montfort's side on 4 Aug 1265, heaving refused, when urged by him, to seek safety in flight.

NOTES:
a. Summoned to Parliament 24 Dec 1264. He was slain at the battle of Evesham, fighting against the King, who, however, continued the estates to his widow and son, as her father had fought for the King at Evesham. His widow married Ralph de Cromwell as his second wife. She survived him and took the veil before 18 Jun 1293.
b. First Lord Basset of Drayton, he served in the French and Scottish wars. He was summoned to Parliament 23 Jun 1295 to 10 April 1299. He held lands of Ralph Basset of Weldon 1284/85.
c. Richard Basset was found to be son and heir of his father, Ralph Basset, of Weldon (d 1257/58) and aged 30 or more at his father's death. He did homage and had livery of his inheritance 28 Mar 1258.
d. Ralph Basset, son and heir of Richard Basset of Great Weldon and Weston by Welland, Northants, Madeley, co. Stafford, etc., did homage and had livery of his inheritance 25 Jun 1276. He was summoned to attend the King at Shrewsbury 28 Jun 1283.
e. A minor at his father's death, he had livery of his inheritance 1 Jul 1295. He was summoned to attend the King at Salisbury 26 Jan 1296/97, and to Parliament 6 Feb 1298/99, whereby he is held to have become Lord Basset, but none of his descendants were ever summoned to Parliament. He was taken prisoner at Bannockburn, 24 June, and died shortly thereafter, before 18 Aug 1314.
f. He was born at Huntingfield, and baptised in the church there. The custody of his lands, together with his marriage, was obtained by Richard de Grey of Codnor. Having proved his age, 29 Mar 1322, he did homage and had livery of his inheritance the following May. He was summoned against the Scots 5 Apr 1327.
g. Her identity is still a matter of contention. While CP states he married Joan, and cites another source which identifies her as a "daughter of [unknown] Sturdon of Winterbourne, Gloucestershire", some researchers, including Mr. Douglas RIchardson, question this, Mr. Richardson stating that he has never found evidence of this Joan's identity as a Sturdon. Some sources have mistakenly identified her as Joan de la Pole, but, in fact, it was this Ralph's son, Ralph, who md Joan de la Pole.
h. Edith Fitz Forn, mother of Edith d'Ouilly, was the sister of Ivo of Greystoke, both being children of Forn, son of Sigulf.
