Dear Douglas, Cris, et al.,
In recent posts by yourselves and others, entries from the Yearbooks (reign of Edward I I believe) were introduced which appeared to demonstrate relationships between the Longchamp and Grey (Wilton) families, and also Grey (Wilton) and Mortimer. Two items which had not been resolved in the course of those threads were:
1. The identification of 'W' as the father of Maud de Longchamp, heiress of Wilton, co. Hereford and wife of Sir Reynold de Grey of Ruthin, co. Denbigh & c. (d. 1308).
2. The identification of the manor of 'C', in dispute between the King on the one hand, and Sir Reynold and his wife Maud on the other.
The manor in question has not been identified to date, and wonder how this might eventually be accomplished. However, it seems certain that the Yearbook entries include an erroneous individmacl ('W') in the lineage of Maud de Longchamp.
I have compared the account of the family of Longchamp in Dugdale [Baronage, pp. 593-4; quoted in part in previous thread] to the records of the royal grants for fairs and markets at Wilton, co. Hereford and find the Dugdale account to be accurate
Account Per Details re:
Dugdale Fairs and Markets
1. Henry de held Wilton,
Longchamp 12 Hen. II (1165) ;
6 Joh. (1204) grant of market to
'Henry de Long Campo'
26 Sept 1205 [1]
died
13 Joh. (1211/2)
2. Henry de held Wilton : grant of fair and
Longchamp market 'to be held
at the manor'
8 Sept 1231 [2]
3. Maud de held Wilton : grant of fair and
Longchamp & market 'to be held
Reynold de at the manor'
Grey 1257 [3]
There seems no support for an individmacl, either 'W' or 'William FitzHugh', to be placed within the above generations. The FitzHugh identified elsewhere (Burke's as I recall) has no documentation to explore; I would suggest that the individmacl 'W' is an erroneous identification, similar to the Yearbook entries' renaming of Joan as Maud, Maud as Joan, & c. as noted by Douglas Richardson in the earlier posts of those entries.
Most logically, this would be an understandable outgrowth of actmacl relationships if William de Longchamp, identified by Dugdale as 'the Son of Henry de Longcamp' [Baronage, p. 594], and by Dugdale and others as the (2nd) husband of Petronilla de Craon, was the brother of the second Henry de Longchamp. The confusion of the compiler of the Yearbook entries (or of the original writers of the entries) would then be certainly understandable.
The following chart is then based on the account of Dugdale, as modified by the above identifications.
