  === Life Sketch ===
  Fulk le Strange, 1st Baron Strange of Blackmere (died 23 January 1324), was a 13th-14th century English nobleman.
  
  He was a younger son of Robert Le Strange. After the death of his older brother John, Fulk inherited in 1289 lands in Wrockwardine, Ellesmere and the other possessions of his family in Shropshire. In 1294 he took part in the campaign in Gascony. From 1298 he took part during the Scottish Wars of Independence in several campaigns during the reigns of Kings Edward I and Edward II of England. Through writ of summons he attended parliament in 1308 and 1309 as Baron Strange of Blackmere. He was appointed on 26 May 1322 as Seneschal of Gascony. He died in January 1324 and was succeeded by his son John.
  
  Fulk married Eleonore, daughter of John Giffard, 1st Baron Giffard and his wife Maud de Clifford, and had the following known issue:
  
  1.) Fulk
  
  2.) John
  
  3.) Elizabeth, married Robert Corbet
  
  Inherited Whitchurch from his mother Eleanor; he served with credit as a young man in Gascony in 1294, and also during all the Scottish campaigns of Edward I. Though not summoned to the Parliament held at Lincoln in 1301, his name as Lord of Corfham appears among those of the barons who sealed the letter to the Pope, and he was one of the three le Strange knights who were present at the tournament in 1309. In that year he was summoned to Parliament under the style of Lord Strange of Blackmere, and the rolls for the next fifteen years are full of writs directed to him for civil and military employments. In the reign of Edward II Fulk was among the adherents of the Earl of Lancaster, and received a pardon for the part which he had taken against Gaveston and the King's friends. Like most of the Marchers, he espoused the policy of the lords ordainers, and on several occasions he appears to have evaded compliance with the royal writs requiring him to perform active service against the Scots. In 1321 he changed sides, like most of the Marcher lords, on account of their fear of Despencer's encroachments, and he joined the association formed by them to drive the Despencers out of the kingdom. Apparently he fought on the King's side at the battle of Boroughbridge, which resulted in the capture and execution of Lancaster. These services, and his early experiences in Gascony, procured for him in 1322 the appointment to the important office of Seneschal of Aquitaine, and he administered that province for upwards of a year, until stricken down there by illness from which he never recovered; he probably died in France early in 1324.
  
  On 16 July 1289 it was ordered that he should have his brother's lands on the condition of doing homage to the king when Edward I was next in England. In 1294 he was recorded as going to Gascony, and from March 1298 until April 1323 he was summoned for service against the Scots. In Feb. 1300/1 he had his seal appended to the Baron's letter to the Pope as "Fulco Lestrange dominus de Corfham". He was summoned to Parliament by writ directed "Fulconi Lestrange," whereby he is held to have become Lord Strange, on 4 March 1308/9 in 2 Edward II. In 1312 he adhered to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and in 1315 he was pardoned some debts due from his uncle Hamon for service in Gascony. He was appointed Seneschal of Aquitaine in 1322, and the same year he was licensed to crenellate his dwelling-place of Whitechurch, Shropshire. He was field commander of the forces of Edward I and Edward II in Scotland and France, and Sénéschal of the Duchy of Aquitaine. Children: i. Elizabeth, in. by March 1323 Sir Robert Corbet of Moreton Corbet i. John, 2nd Baron Blackmere, d. 21 July 1349; m. Ankaret Boteler, who d. 8 Oct. 1361. iii. Maud, m. Bryan de Cornwall of Kynlet. iv. Fulk, left infant daughters Joan (who m. John Careless or Carless) and Eleanor (who m. Edward de Acton).
