  === Life Sketch ===
  ALMARIC (AMAURI) II DE SAINT-AMAND of Bedford, England was born in 1235. His father, Ralph, died when he was ten years old. Until he was of age, the custody of his land was held by Matthew de Coudray, later Paulyne Peyvre, and finally John de Grey until 1956. He received legal possession of his lands in 1956 and did homage (a ceremony in which a man acknowledges himself the vassal of a lord) on February 20. His lands were in Beds, Bucks, Surrey, Sussex, Notts, and Derbs. He married Isabel _____ in 1278 and was given timber in Savernack Forest. He marched against the Welsh in 1257, 1277, 1282 and 1283 and he was a Banneret (a knight leading his vassals into the field under his own banner and therefore ranking above a knight bachelor). The King summoned Almaric II to his support (cum equis et armis) at London and Oxford in 1261 and 1264. In 1263-1265 he aided Henry III during the "Barons' War", a war against the King. He was summoned to serve in the Assembly at Shrewsbury (not a Parliament) in 1283. he died in the autumn of 1285. At the time of death he had three sons. His first son Guy (1267-1287), his second was Almaric III 1st Baron, and his third was John. Almaric III was born at Milbrook Co, Bedford in March 1268 and died on July 29, 1310. Almaric III signed Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII as "Dominus de Wydehaye", married in 1290, was summoned to serve in the Parliament from December 29, 1299 to June 16, 1311, served in Gascony and was Governor of Bordeaux in 1294. Almaric III was held by modern doctrine to become Lord St. Amand and was referred to in King's Writs as "Almarico de Sancto Amando" in 1299. Almaric III was summoned to meet Edward II and Queen Isabel in January 1307 in Dover. Almaric III was the 1st Baron de Saint-Amand and was succeeded by his brother John.
