  === Life Sketch ===
  Richard (5 January 1209 – 2 April 1272) was an English prince who was King of the Romans from 1257 until his death in 1272. He was the second son of John, King of England, and Isabella, Countess of Angoulême. Richard was nominal Count of Poitou from 1225 to 1243, and he also held the title Earl of Cornwall from 1225. He was one of the wealthiest men in Europe and joined the Barons' Crusade, where he achieved success as a negotiator for the release of prisoners and assisted with the building of the citadel in Ascalon.
  
  Early life
  He was born 5 January 1209 at Winchester Castle, the second son of John, King of England, and Isabella, Countess of Angoulême. He was made High Sheriff of Berkshire at age eight, was styled Count of Poitou from 1225 and in the same year, at the age of sixteen, his brother King Henry III gave him Cornwall as a birthday present, making him High Sheriff of Cornwall.
  ...
  Marriage to Isabel, 1231–1240
  In March 1231 he married Isabel Marshal, the wealthy widow of the Earl of Gloucester, much to the displeasure of his brother King Henry, who feared the Marshal family because they were rich, influential, and often opposed to him. Richard became stepfather to Isabel's six children from her first husband. In that same year he acquired his main residence, Wallingford Castle in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), and spent much money on developing it. He had other favoured properties at Marlow and Cippenham and was a notable lord of the manor at Earls Risborough, all in Buckinghamshire.
  
  Isabel and Richard had four children, of whom only their son, Henry of Almain, survived to adulthood. Richard opposed Simon de Montfort and rose in rebellion in 1238 to protest against the marriage of his sister, Eleanor, to Simon. Once again he was placated with rich gifts. When Isabel was on her deathbed in 1240, she asked to be buried next to her first husband at Tewkesbury, but Richard had her interred at Beaulieu Abbey instead. As a pious gesture, however, he sent her heart to Tewkesbury.
  ...
  After the birth of Prince Edward in 1239, provisions were made in case of the king's death, which favoured the Queen and her Savoyard relatives and excluded Richard. To keep him from becoming discontented King Henry and Queen Eleanor brought up the idea of a marriage with Eleanor's sister Sanchia shortly after his return on 28 January 1242. On his journey to the Holy Land, Richard had met Sanchia in Provence, where he was warmly welcomed by her father Raymond Berenger IV. Richard and Sanchia were married at Westminster in November 1243. Marriage to Sanchia had the advantage of tying Richard closely to the royal couple and their interests.
  ...
  Wives and progeny
  Richard of Cornwall married three times and had six legitimate children, none of whom themselves had children, and he also had illegitimate progeny:
  
  First wife
  Richard married first, on 30 March 1231 at Fawley, Buckinghamshire, to Isabel Marshal (d.1240) was the daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, by his wife Isabel de Clare, who in turn was daughter of Sir Richard "Strongbow" de Clare and Aoife MacMurrough. Isabel Marshal died on 17 January 1240 while giving birth at Berkhamsted Castle and was buried at Beaulieu Abbey. By Isabel Marshal he had four children, of whom only one reached adulthood:
  1. John of Cornwall (31 January 1232 – 22 September 1232), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey.
  2. Isabel of Cornwall (c. 9 September 1233 – 6 October 1234), born and died at Marlow, Buckinghamshire, buried at Reading Abbey.
  3. Henry of Cornwall (2 November 1235 – 13 March 1271). Known as "Henry of Almain" (Germany), he was murdered by his cousins, the Montfort brothers Guy and Simon the Younger, in revenge for the beheading of their father and older brother at the Battle of Evesham. He was buried at Hailes Abbey in Gloucestershire. He had no children.
  4. Nicholas of Cornwall (b. & d. 17 January 1240 at Berkhamsted Castle), died shortly after birth; buried at Beaulieu Abbey with his mother.
  
  Second wife
  Richard's second marriage took place nearly four years after the death of his first wife. His new bride, whom he married in Westminster Abbey on 23 November 1243, was Sanchia of Provence (c. 1225 – 9 November 1261), the third of four daughters of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence, by his wife Beatrice of Savoy. She was a younger sister of the Queens of France and England, while the youngest sister would later become Queen of Sicily. The match was arranged by Sanchia's elder sister Eleanor of Provence, wife of Richard's elder brother King Henry III of England. Sanchia died on 9 November 1261 at Berkhamsted Castle and was buried 15 November in Hailes Abbey in Gloucestershire.
  By Sanchia of Provence, Richard had a further two sons:
  1. unnamed son (Jul 1246 – 15 Aug 1246), died in infancy.
  2. Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall (26 December 1249 – before 25 September 1300), usually styled Edmund of Almain. Edmund married Margaret de Clare (1250 – shortly before November 1312), daughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, but by her had no children.
  
  Third wife
  The third marriage of Richard was to Beatrice of Falkenburg, said to be one of the most beautiful women of her time. Her father, Dietrich I, Count of Falkenburg, of Valkenburg Castle in the Netherlands, was a supporter of Richard's claim to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. The two men fought on the same side in a battle, at which time Richard met Beatrice and grew besotted by her. They married on 16 June 1269 at Kaiserslautern, when she was about fifteen years old while he was in his sixty-first year and his youngest child was only four years older than Beatrice. Richard doted on his young wife, and she had a high regard for him, but they produced no children. Beatrice survived Richard by only five years and never married again. She died on 17 October 1277 and was buried before the high altar at the Church of the Grey Friars in Oxford.
  
  Illegitimate children
  Richard had several documented out-of-wedlock children. One of Richard's mistresses was Joan de Vautort, widow of Ralph de Vautort (d.1267), feudal baron of Harberton, Devon and Trematon, Cornwall. Joan later married Sir Alexander Okeston, lord of the manor of Modbury in Devon, a part of the Vautorts' feudal barony of Harberton that had been granted him by Roger de Vautort. Joan bore Alexander a son and heir, Sir James Okeston.
  
  By Joan de Vautort or other mistresses, the Earl of Cornwall had at least three sons and a daughter as follows:
  1. Philip of Cornwall, a priest.
  2. Sir Richard of Cornwall, who received a grant from his half-brother Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall (d. 1300), in which he was called "brother". He married Joan, allegedly daughter of John Fitzalan III, and by her had three sons and a daughter. He was slain by an arrow at the Siege of Berwick in 1296. His daughter Joan of Cornwall married Sir John Howard, from whom the Howard family, Dukes of Norfolk, are descended.
  3. Sir Walter of Cornwall, who received a grant of the royal manor of Brannel, Cornwall, from his half-brother Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall, in which he was called "brother". He was ancestor of the Cornwalls of Branell.
  4. Joan of Cornwall, daughter of Joan de Vautort, in 1283 received a grant from her half-brother Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall, in which she was called "sister". The younger Joan married (1st) Richard de Champernoun and (2nd) Sir Peter de Fishacre of Combe Fishacre and Coleton Fishacre, Devon, having no issue by the second. Her childless half-brother Sir James Okeston made her son (or grandson) Richard de Champernoun his heir.

  === [gheller.ged] Richard, Earl of Cornwall ===
  [gheller.ged] Richard, Earl of Cornwall, and titular Emperor of the Romans, was second son of John, King of England, and his queen, Is abella, and was born at Winchester in 1209. After serving with distinction in France, he went , about 1240, to Palestine, where his presence, as nephew of the formidable Richard Cœur de L ion, gave courage to the Christians and filled the Saracens with terror. On his return he ha d an interview with the Emperor Frederick II. in Sicily, and by his desire attempted to media te between him and the Pope, Gregory IX.; but unsuccessfully. He arrived in England in 1242 ; again served in France; mediated more than once between Henry III. and the barons, agains t whom he ultimately fought; was charged by the king, in 1255, to torture and extort money fr om the Jews, by which means he got much of his wealth; and in 1256 he accepted the title of K ing of the Romans, offered him after the death of William, Count of Holland. He had a rival , however, in Alfonso of Castile, who was chosen by some of the electors. Richard was crowned at Aix-la-Chapelle (now Aachen -1996), with his wife, Sanchia, in May, 1 257, and won golden opinions by his prodigal gifts and expenditure. He returned to England af ter two years, but several times revisited Germany and exercised authority in some respects a s Emperor. He took part on the king's side at the battle of Lewes, and was captured, and kep t prisoner more than a year. The assassination of his eldest son, Henry, a prince of great pr omise, by the sons of Simon de Montfort, at Viterbo, in 1271, deeply affected him, and he die d at Berkhampstead in April, 1272. His body was interred in the abbey of Hayles, which he ha d founded.

  Richard would raise his voice three times in protest against his brother, Henry the king's policies or his choices, and each time, Richard would receive generous gifts in order to placate and silence him. When his first wife, Isabel was on her deathbed, she asked to be buried next to her first husband at Tewkesbury, Gilbert de Clare. Richard had her interred at Beaulieu Abbey but sent her heart to Tewkesbury.
  Richard fought in no battles but managed to negotiate for the release of prisoners and the burials of Crusaders killed at a battle in Gaza in 1239, and fortified Ascalon, which had been demolished by Saladin. On his return from the Holy Land, Richard visited his sister Isabella, the empress of Frederick II and met Sanchia (Cynthia) who he made his second wife.
  On 27 May 1257 the archbishop of Cologne himself crowned Richard "King of the Romans" in Aachen, but only after large sums of money were paid to those who opposed him. and his title never meant much.
  He founded Hailes Abbey by 1246, Burnham Abbey in Buckinghamshire in 1263, and the Grashaus, Aachen in 1266, fought with Henry against Simon de Montfort in the Second Barons' War (1264–67). After the defeat at the Battle of Lewes, Richard hid in a windmill, but was found and imprisoned until September of 1265.
  Richard's third wife, Beatrice, was sixteen and one of the most beautiful woman of the era. They had no children, and she died at 24 in 1277 buried before the high altar at the Church of the Grey Friars in Oxford.
  In December 1271, he had a stroke when his right side became paralyzed and he lost the ability to speak. On 2 April 1272, Richard died at Berkhamsted Castle in Hertfordshire, buried next to Sanchia of Provence and Henry of Almain, his son by his first wife, at Hailes Abbey.
  Richard was succeeded by Edmund, son of his second wife Sanchia, and Rudolph I as the King of the Romans.

  === Richard, Earl of Cornwall and King of th ===
  Richard, Earl of Cornwall and King of the Romans (1209-1272), second son of King John and Isabella of Angouleme, sho subsequently married Hugh of Lusignan, was born at Winchester on Monday, 5 Jan 1209. He was christened Richard in memory of his uncle, Richard I. In February 1214 he accompanied his father and mother on John's unlucky expedition to Poitou. After John's death on 19 Oct 1216, Geoffrey de Marisco, justiciar of Ireland, offered Richard and his mother a safe refuge in Ireland, which was, however, civilly declined by the council of Henry III, Richard's elder brother. Early in the new reign Richard became governor of Chilham Castle in Kent,a nd lord of the great honour of Wallingford. Richard now seems to have spent much of his time at Corfe Castle, Dorset, under the charge of its governor, Peter de Mauley, King John's Poitevin favourite. Here he received his early education. On 7 May 1220 Peter de Mauley was ordered to bring Richard from Wallingford to Westminster to witness his brother's coronation.
  In 1221 Richard received the honour of Eye. Early in 1223 he lay sick at Lambeth. In July of the same year he went on pilgrimage to Canterbury with his brother-in-law, Alexander II, king of Scots. In the late summer Richard accompanied his brother on his invasion of the Welsh border. To his honour of Eye was now added half of the estates of Henry of Pagham, a follower of Falkes de Breaute.
  Richard's active career began in 1225, when he was sixteen years old. The pacification of England had now so far advanced that a great effort was resolved upon to win back the Aquitanian heritage of the English kings which had been almost altogether lost under King John. Richard was chosen as the nominal leader of the expedition destined for France. On 2 Feb 1225 Henry III girt him with the knightly sword. On 13 Feb Richard was granted the wealthy kingdom of Cornwall, then in the king's hands, to which were added in November the Cornish tin mines in possession of his mother, Queen Isabella. It is probable that he was invested at the same time with the county of Poitou, so that he might call upon the allegiance of the Poitevins as their lawful lord against the agressions of Louis VIII. His uncle, the veteran William Longsword, earl of Salisbury, and Philip of Albigny were appointed his chief counsellors. On 28 March Count Richard sailed with a considerable army. He landed at Bordeaux, where he was enthusiastically received. Richard easily captured St Macaire and Bazas, the outposts of French influence, and on 2 May he wrote a brief letter to Henry III, boasting that all Gascony, save one town and one noble, was reduced to his obedience. The one resisting town, La REole, was now subdued, after a long, fierce, and often interrupted struggle, while the winning over of Bergerac, through the timely defection of its lord to the English, opened up the road over the Dordogne towards Poitou. Richard's position was made more difficult by the disunion of his advisers, by the sickness and return home of William Longsword, and by the depredations of Savary de Mauleon and the corsairs of La Rochelle, who intercepted his convoys and straitened his resources. Richard, who sought to keep on good terms with the ecclesiastical authorities, was further embarrassed by the necessity of forming an alliance with Raymond of Toulouse, who supported the Albigensians. Early in 1226 Louis VIII took the cross against Raymond, and Raymond complained to Henry III that he could get no help from Richard. But strict neutrality was enjoined on both Henry and Richard by the pope. On the other hand the pope exhorted Louis VIII to surrender the lands that the English kings had once held, and the Lusignans to obey their English count. Richard also negotiated an alliance with the counts of Auvergne. he sent home a proposal for his own marriage with a daughter of the king of Leon, but was told by the king and council that they hoped soon to negotiate a more advantageous union. Various reinforcements were sent out from England, but Richard was forced to tax Gascony severly, and to offend his ally, the archbishop of Bordeaux, by laying hands on church property. Under these circumstances there was little fighting in 1226. In the spring the French appeared before the walls of Bordeaux. Richard made a vain effort to find a refuge in La Rochelle. But the death of Louis VIII on 8 Nov 1226 gave Richard another chance. Louis IX was a minor, and many of the great barons entered into a conspiracy against his authority. Savary de Mauleon again changed sides, and at his bidding La Rochelle opened its gates to Richard. The turbulent Hugh of Lusignan and the powerful Viscount of Thomacrs concluded treaties with Richard on 18 Dec, and a truce followed with the French king. Henry III confirmed and prolonged the agreement, and in May 1227 Richard returned to England.
  In 1230 Richard attended Henry III on his inglorious expedition to Brittany, when Count Peter of Brittany regained the earldom of Richmond, which Richard had had in his custody since 1227. On 30 March 1231 Richard was married to Isabella, the beautiful daughter of the elder William Marshal, the first earl of Pembroke of that house, and widow of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester, who had died on 25 Oct 1230. The alliance closely connected Richard with the baronial leaders. The Earls Marshal and the Earls of Norfolk and Derby were his brother-in-laws, the Earl of Gloucester was his stepson. Richard in July 1232 joined his brother-in-law, Richard Marshal, in upholding Hubert de Burgh, on whose ruin the king was resolved in deference to his foreign counsellors.
  On 10 June 1240 he bade adieu at Dover to the king, in whose care he left his little son Henry and his vast estates. A large number of English knights and nobles followed him. The most famous among them were Simon de Montfort and the younger William Longsword, earl of Salisbury. By mindummer day 1240 Richard had reached Paris, where St Louis and his mother, Queen Blanche, gave him a hearty welcome. Raymond Berenger, count of Provence, the father of Queen Eleanor, met him at Tarascon, and accompanied him to Saint-Gilles. Meanwhile Gregory IX renewed his quarrel with Frederick II, and wished to defer all crusading until Frederick was subdued. At Saint-Gilles the papal legate John Baussan, archbishop of Arles, forbade Richard to proceed. Richard was also asked by his brother-in-law the emperor to abandon the undertaking. But he angrily rejected all such counsels, and embarked for Palestine at the free Provencal city of Marseilles. On 8 Oct he landed at Acre, where he was rejoined by Simon de Montford.
  Three days after landing at Acre, Richard issued a proclamation offering to take into his pay all pilgrims forces to go home for lack of means. After completing his preparations he marched to Jaffa. He was accompanied by the Duke of Burgundy, almost the only Frankish crusader who had not gone home. Richard prudently kept aloof from the factions of the Latin host. He ordered a march towards Ascalon, and busied himself with the fortification of the city. At the same time he negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, a dependent of the sultan of Egypt, by which many French captives were restored to liberty on 23 April. Richard also collected th bones of the Christians slain at Gaza, gave them Christian burial at Ascalon, and endowed a priest to say mass for the repose of their souls. He then handed over Ascalon to the deputy of the Emperor Frederick, whom Richard regarded as the lawful king of Jerusalem.
  But, to improve his position, he now agreed to mary Sanchia, third daughter of Raymond Berenger, count of Provence, and sister of the queens of France and England. The lady, brought to England by her mother, Beatrice, solemnly entered London on 18 Nov. On 23 Nov 1243 the marriage was magnificently celebrated at Westminster by Walter de Grey, archbishop of York. On 1 Dec the king and Richard made a settlement with regarding the latter's property. Richard renounced his rights in Ireland and Gascony, and received a confirmation of his earldom of Cornwall, and the honours of Wallingford and Eye, with a sum of money and fresh lands in compensation. Just as his first marriage had connected him with the baronial opposition, so did his second marriage closely bind him to the court, to the Savoyards, and the unpopular foreign influences. Henceforth he was the political ally of his brother. His change of policy left room for the rise of Simon de Montfort.
  Since his crusade and his redemption of Frankish captives Richard had been a personage of European importance. He had already twice declined the pope's offer of a foreign throne in Sicily and Germany respectively, owing to scruples due to his friendship for Frederick II. But the latter's death in 1259 altered the sitmaction. When, in November 1252, the papal notary Albert came to England, charged to renew Innocent's offer of the Sicilian throne, Richard entered into long negotiations with him, but, distrusting the pope's terms, rejected the offer. Richard was, however, annoyed with Henry III during his Gascon expedition of 1254 accepted the Sicilian throne for his son Edmund without asking Richard's advice. The death of Henry, Frederick II's son by Isabella of England, in December 1253, meanwhile loosened the dynastice connection between England and the empire. In May 1254 Conrad IV, Frederick's eldest son, died, and his papal rival, William of Holand, thereupon ruled Germany without a rival until his death in January 1256. Nearly a year elapsed before a new king of the Romans was elected. The German princes were divided into partisans of the Hohenstaufen and of the pope. Pope Alexander IV, who had just succeeded Innocent IV, perceived that a strong German king, a partisan of the Hohenstaufen, might well ruin papal predominance in Italy as well as Germany. Henry III watched German affa

  General Notes:
  
  Richard, earl of Cornwall, 1209–72, second son of King John of England and brother of Henry III . In 1227, following an expedition to Gascony and Poitou, Richard forced Henry to grant him the land and wealth he regarded as his right, as well as the title of earl of Cornwall. He improved his position further by his marriage (1231) to Isabella, daughter of William Marshall, 1st earl of Pembroke. He went on a crusade in 1240 and concluded (1241) a truce with the sultan of Egypt. On Henry's expedition to Poitou in 1242, Richard was barely able to save his brother from complete military disaster. In the 1230s, Richard had often associated himself with the baronial opposition to Henry. However, after his marriage (Isabella having died) to the queen's sister in 1243, he became a faithful supporter of the king and his most sensible adviser. He financed the reform of the coinage in 1247, adding greatly to his already considerable wealth, and acted as regent when Henry was out of the country. Richard refused (1252) Pope Innocent IV's offer of the Sicilian crown (which Henry later accepted for his son Edmund), but in 1257 he had himself elected king of the Romans (i.e., emperor-elect of the Holy Roman Empire). Richard was crowned at Aachen and made three visits to Germany, but was never more than nominal ruler there. When the Barons' War broke out in earnest, Richard was one of Henry's chief supporters. He was captured at the battle of Lewes (1264) and held prisoner until after the battle of Evesham (1265). In the settlement after the war he advised moderation against the rebels.

  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “RICHARD OF ENGLAND, Knt., Earl of Cornwall, Count of Poitou, Lieutenant of Guienne, 1226-7, Keeper of Castle and Honour of Wallingford, 1230-1, Lord of the Manor, Castle, and Honour of Knaresborough, 1235, Lord of the Manor and Castle of Lideford, 1239, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusaders, 12/10 1, Privy Councillor, 1253, Joint Guardian of England, 1253, 2nd son, born at Winchester Castle 5 Jan. 1209. He was knighted by his brother, King Henry III, 2 Feb. 1224/5. He was granted the honour of Launceston, Cornwall in 1225 and the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire in 1229. He fought for his brother in Brittany in 1230. He married (1st) at Fawley, Buckinghamshire 30 March 1231 ISABEL MARSHAL, widow of Gilbert de Clare, 4th Earl of Gloucester, 5th Earl of Hertford [see CLARE 6], and 2nd daughter of William Marshal, Knt., 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal, by Isabel, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil) [see MARSHAL 3 for her ancestry]. She was born at Pembroke Castle 9 October 1200. They had four children (see below). He was granted the borough of Wilton, Wiltshire by his brother, King Henry III, on the occasion of his marriage. In 1232-3 he fought in Wales against Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. In 1237 he openly rebuked his brother the king for his greed and maladmininistration. He was on an embassy to Emperor Frederick in 1237. By March 1233 he had driven Llywelyn back and strongly fortified Radnor Castle. His wife, Isabel, died testate at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire in childbed of jaundice 17 Jan. 1239/40. Her body was buried at Beaulieu Abbey, Hampshire, her bowels went to Missenden, and her heart was sent to Tewkesbury Abbey for burial in her 1st husband's grave. In 1240 he left for the Holy Land on crusade, in the company of a large number of English knights and nobles. In 1241 he negotiated a treaty with the sultan of Krak, by which many French captives were restored to liberty. He fought in Poitou in 1242-3. He married (2nd) at Westminster Abbey 23 Nov. 1243 (by contract dated 17 July 1242) SANCHE (or SANCHIA, SENCHIA) OF PROVENCE, 3rd daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger V, Count and Marquis of Provence, Count of Forcalquier, by Beatrice, daughter of Thomas (or Tommaso) 1, Count of Savoy, Marquis in Italy. She was the sister of Eleanor of Provence, wife of his brother, King Henry III of England [see ENGLAND 6]. She was born about 1225 at Aix-en-Provence. They had two sons (see below). In Dec. 1243 the king demanded a written renunciation of any rights that Richard might possess in Ireland or Gascony, together with an explicit disclaimer of the award that had been made at Saintes. In return, Richard was confirmed in possession of Cornwall and of the honours of Wallingford and Eye. In 1244 he negotiated a treaty with Scotland and sat on the committee to investigate baronial grievances against the crown. The same year he was granted the honour of Bradninch, Devon. In 1245 he allowed his nephew the Welsh rebel, Dafydd ap Llywelyn, to take shelter at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. In 1246, together with King Henry III, he sought unsuccessfully to oppose the efforts of Charles of Anjou, husband of Sanche's younger sister, Beatrice, to claim the entire dominion of Count Raymond Berengar V of Provence. He served as principal governor of the royal mint between 1247 and 1258, during which period he organized the first complete recoinage since 1180. In 1247 he presented to the churches of Arnbrosden, Horspath, and Brightwell. He was Joint Plenipotentiary to France and Ambassador to Pope Innocent IV in 1250. In 1252 he determined the amount of Simon de Montfort's expenses while lieutenant in Gascony. He served as Regent of England in 1253-4, 1264, and de facto 1270-2. He was elected King of the Romans (also styled King of Almain) 13 Jan. 1256/7, and was crowned at Aachen 17 May 1257. He failed to establish his authority in Germany, however, was soon dispossessed, and returned to England in Jan. 1259. In 1260 he mediated between the Earl of Gloucester and the Lord Edward and the king. In April 1261 he was elected senator of Rome for life, a purely honorary title which he made no attempt to exercise in person, and in which he was subsequently supplanted by Charles of Anjou. His wife, Sanche (or Sanchia), died at Berkharnpstead, Hertfordshire 9 Nov. 1261. In 1263 he secured a temporary truce after war had broken out between his brother the king and the English barons. In 1264, when conflict became inevitable, he supported his brother. He was taken prisoner with his brother at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. After the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265, he was released and his lands restored. He married (3rd) at Kaiserslautern, Germany 16 June 1269 BEATRICE DE FALKENBURG (or FAUQUEMONT), daughter of Dietrich II de Falkenburg, seigneur of Montjoye, by Berta, daughter of Walrarn of Limburg, seigneur of Montjoye. They had no issue. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), he had several illegitimate children, including three sons, Philip (clerk), Richard, Knt., and Walter, Knt., and one daughter, Joan. He presented to the church of St. Stithian's, Cornwall in 1268. In 1270 he purchased from Roger de Vautort the honour of Trematon, Cornwall, consisting of 60-1/2 knights' fees, including the Castle and manor of Trematon, Cornwall and the manor and advowson of Calstock, Cornwall. RICHARD, King of the Romans, Earl of Cornwall, died testate at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire 2 (or 3) April 1272, and was buried with his 2nd wife, Sanche, at Hailes Abbey, Gloucestershire, his heart being interred in the choir of the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford. His widow, Beatrice, died testate 17 October 1277, and was buried before the high altar at the Church of the Grey Friars, Oxford.
