  • Background Information. 1116
  Walter, who held Essendine of the bishop in 1086, appears to be identical with Walter Espec, founder of the monasteries of Rievaulx and Kirkham in Yorkshire and of Warden in Bedfordshire, in the time of Henry I. He was probably son of William Espec, holder in 1086 of a number of manors in Bedfordshire including Warden [Blore, op. cit. 14]. Walter died without issue, and the manor passed before 1159 [Wright, Hist. of Rutl. 62] to his nephew and co-heir, William de Bussey, son of Walter's sister, Hawisia. William died about 1177, leaving two sons, Bartholomew, who died about 1179, and Walter, who died before 1182, neither of whom apparently left any issue [Rot. de Dom. (Pipe R. Soc), note by J. H. Round on p. 11; Round, Family Origins, 13\endash 21.]. William's widow Rose, daughter of Baldwin Fitz Gilbert de Clare, married Baldwin Buelot and was again a widow by 1185, when, it was reported, she had two daughters, Cecily the wife of John de Builli and Maud the wife of Hugh Wake [Ibid.; Curia Regis R. i, 326; Dugdale, Mon. Angl. v, 281; Maitland, Bracton's Note Bk. no. 1085; V.C.H. Beds. ii, 230; iii, 252; Blore, op. cit. 15]. Rose, with the consent of her daughters, gave to the monks of St. Andrew, Northampton, 12 acres of the demesne of Essendine, for which they undertook to maintain a chaplain to serve the chapel there [Wright, op. cit. 62, 64, quoting MSS. of Sir Wingfield Bodenham.].
