  === Life Sketch ===
  Sir Maurice de Berkeley "the Resolute" (1218 – 4 April 1281), 5th (feudal) Baron de Berkeley, was an English soldier and rebel, residing at Berkeley Castle in the English county of Gloucestershire.
  
  Life
  Maurice was born in 1218 to Thomas de Berkeley and wife Joan de Somery. He married Isabel FitzRoy, daughter of Richard FitzRoy, Baron of Chilham (an illegitimate son of King John of England) and wife Rose de Douvres,[1][2] sometime before 12 July 1247.
  
  Berkeley fought in the French Wars and was invested as a knight before 1242. He inherited the title of Baron de Berkeley in 1243 and, on 14 December 1243, he had livery of his father's lands. He fought in the war in North Wales and in 1264 he joined the Barons against King Henry III. Berkeley died on 4 April 1281 and was buried in St Augustine's Abbey in Bristol.
  
  His son was Thomas de Berkeley.

  MAURICE DE BERKELEY, feudal LORD OF BERKELEY, son and heir, who " may bee called Maurice the Resolute," born 1218. He attended the wars with France and afterwards with North Wales. Was knighted before 1242. He did homage and had livery of his father's lands, 14 December 1243. He joined the Barons against the King in 1264, was present at the award of Kenilworth in 1267, at the Council at MarlboroughI, and at the various assemblies (1275-79). He married, before 12 July 1247, Isabel, daughter of Richard FITZROY (illegitimate son of King John), by Rose, daughter and heir of Foubert de Douvres. On 10 August 1264, the King, out of compassion for the poverty of his niece, Isabel, the wife of Maurice de Berkeley, granted her certain manors. She died 7 July, probably in the year 1276 or 1277, and was buried at St. Augustine's. He died 4 April 1281, aged 63, " being his great clymactericoll yeare, " and was buried at St. Augustine's.* [Complete Peerage II:131, XIV:87]
  *Note: St. Augustine's is now Bristol Cathedral. Only remnants of the original abbey are left (per Wikipedia).
