  Children of Roger de Clare, by Maud de St. Hilary...
  ii. AVELINE DE CLARE, married (1st) before 1186 WILLIAM DE MUNCHENSY, Knt., of Swanscombe, Kent, Winfarthing and Gooderstone, Norfolk, etc., younger son of Warin de Munchensy, by Agnes, daughter and co-heiress of Pain Fitz John. They had two sons, William and Warin, Knt. He was heir before Michaelmas 1190 to his older brother, Ralph de Munchensy, Knt. In 1198 he was serving in Normandy. He was one of the guarantors of the treaty between King John and the Count of Flanders at Roche d'Andelys in 1199. He was fined for not serving overseas in 1201. He was a benefactor of the religious houses of West Dereham and Missenden. SIR WILLIAM DE MUNCHENSY died before 7 May 1204. His widow, Aveline, married (2nd) before 29 May 1205 (date of grant) (as his 2nd wife) GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Knt., Earl of Essex [see ESSEX 2], of Wellsworth (in Chalton), Hampshire, Cherhill and Costow, Wiltshire, Chief Forester, Sheriff of Northamptonshire, 1184-89, 1191-94, Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire, 1190-93, Constable of Hertford Castle, Justiciar of England, 1198-1213, Sheriff of Staffordshire, 1198, Sheriff of Yorkshire, 1198-1200, 1202-4, Sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, 1199-1204, Sheriff of Westmorland, 1199-1200, Sheriff of Hampshire, 1201-4, Sheriff of Shropshire, 1201-4, and, in right of his 1st wife, of Streadey, Berkshire, Amersham and Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, Pleshey, Essex, Digswell, Hertfordshire, Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, etc., younger son of Peter de Ludgershall, of Cherhill and Linley (in Tisbury), Wiltshire, and Gussage Saint Andrew (in Sixpenny Handley), Dorset, by his wife, Maud. He was born before 1145. They had one son, John, Knt., and four daughters, Hawise, Cecily, ___, and Maud. Sometime in the period, 1157-66, he witnessed an exchange of land between Roger de Tichborne and the Bishop of Winchester. He held a fee in Cherhill, Wiltshire of new enfeoffment in 1166. Sometime in the period, c.1166-90, Elias de Studley conveyed to him his land held of the fee of William Malbanc in Heytesbury and Cherhill, Wiltshire at an annual rent of 20s. In 1184 he accounted for the farm of Kinver before the itinerant justices in Oxfordshire. He married before 25 Jan. 1184/5 BEATRICE DE SAY (died before 19 April 1197), daughter and co-heiress of William de Say, of Kimbolton, Huntingdonshire, and Saham, Norfolk [see SAY 4i for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffrey de Mandeville [5th Earl of Essex], William de Mandeville, Knt. [6th Earl of Essex], and Henry [Dean of Wolverhampton], and two daughters, Maud and Alice. In 1186-7 King Henry II granted him the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight, as his father Peter or his brother Robert held it. In the period, 1186-89, he and his two half-brothers, William and Hugh de Buckland, witnessed a charter of William, Earl of Ferrers, to Ralph Fitz Stephen. In the period, c.1189-99, he founded Shouldham Abbey, Norfolk, to which he gave the manor and the advowson of the church of Shouldham, Norfolk, together with the churches of Shouldham Thorpe, Stoke Ferry, and Wereham, Norfolk. In 1190 he obtained the lands to which his 1st wife's grandmother, Beatrice, had become heir on the death of her nephew, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. From Easter 1190 he received the third penny of the county of Essex. Sometime in the period, 1190-1213, Sibyl de Fiennes, daughter of Pharamus of Boulogne, conveyed to him 300 acres on Hyngeshill [?in Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire] at an annual rent of an unmewed sparrowhawk, or 12d. Sometime in the period 1190-1213, he granted the manor of Cherhill, Wiltshire to his younger son, William de Mandeville. He was one of those excommunicated for his part in removing Longchamp in 1191. About 1195 he and his two half-brothers, William and Geoffrey de Buckland, witnessed a charter of Geoffrey Fitz Nigel de Gardino to William de Ultra la Haia. In 1195 he owed £4 4s. in the vill of Lydford, Devon for making the market of the king there. In 1198, Eustace de Balliol and his wife, Pernel (widow of Geoffrey's brother Robert), quitclaimed all their right to lands in Salthrop (in Wroughton), Wiltshire to Geoffrey, in return for 30 marks silver. In the period, 1199-1216, Geoffrey further gave Shouldham Priory, Norfolk twelve shops, with the rooms over them, in the parish of St. Mary's Colechurch, London, for the purpose of sustaining the lights of the church and of providing the sacramental wine. Sometime in or before 1199, he made a grant to William de Wrotham, Archdeacon of Taunton, of all his land of Sutton at Hone, Kent to make a hospital for the maintenance of thirteen poor men and three chaplains in honour of the Holy Trinity, St. Mary, and All Saints. In the period, 1200-13, he made notification that Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster had at his petition confirmed to the nuns of Shouldham all tithes pertaining to them in Clakelose Hundred, Norfolk, in return for £1 10s. due annually to the almoner of Westminster. In the same period, Abbot Ralph and the convent of Westminster granted him the vill of Claygate, Surrey to hold of them for his lifetime. In 1204 King John granted him the manor of Winterslow, Wiltshire, and, in 1205, the honour of Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire with the castle at a fee farm of £100 per annum. He campaigned against the Welsh in 1206 and 1210. He was granted a significant part of the lands forfeited by Normans, including the manors of Depden and Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and other lands in Norfolk and Suffolk, all worth over £100 per annum. In 1207 the king confirmed his possession of the manor of Notgrove, Gloucestershire, which Geoffrey had by the gift of John Eskelling. Sometime before 1212, he was granted the manor of Gussage Dynaunt (or Gussage St. Michael), Dorset, which manor was forfeited by Roland de Dinan. At some unspecified date, when already earl, he granted all his right in St. Peter's chapel in Drayton to the canons of St. Peter's Cathedral, York. He was the founder of the first church of Wintney Priory, Hampshire. SIR GEOFFREY FITZ PETER, Earl of Essex, died 14 October 1213, and was buried in Shouldham Priory, Norfolk. In 1213-4 the king commanded Geoffrey de Buckland to let the king have, at the price any others would give for them, the corn, pigs, and other chattels at Berkhampstead, Hertfordshire which belonged his brother, Geoffrey Fitz Peter, lately deceased. About 1214 his widow, Aveline, granted the canons of Holy Trinity, London, in frank almoin, a half mark quit rent out of her Manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, part of whose body is buried there. In 1221 the Prior of the Hospital of Jerusalem in England sued her regarding two virgates and five acres of land in Towcester, Northamptonshire. Aveline, Countess of Essex, died before 4 June 1225.
