    "Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
    "MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined ?1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
    (Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211. In 1294 Roger Botetourt and his brother Robert [presumably

    Notes:

    Edward I, called Longshanks (1239-1307), king of England (1272-1307), of the house of Plantagenet. He was born in Westminster on June 17, 1239, the eldest son of King Henry III, and at 15 married Eleanor of Castile. In the struggles of the barons against the crown for constitutional and ecclesiastical reforms, Edward took a vacillating course. When warfare broke out between the crown and the nobility, Edward fought on the side of the king, winning the decisive battle of Evesham in 1265. Five years later he left England to join the Seventh Crusade. Following his father's death in 1272, and while he was still abroad, Edward was recognized as king by the English barons; in 1273, on his return to England, he was crowned.
    He was the King that had William Wallace (Braveheart) executed.

    Edward I (17/18 June 1239 ? 7 July 1307), also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots (Latin: Malleus Scotorum), was King of England from 1272 to 1307.
    ...
    First marriage

    By his first wife Eleanor of Castile, Edward had at least fourteen children, perhaps as many as sixteen. Of these, five daughters survived into adulthood, but only one son outlived his father, becoming King Edward II (1307? 1327). He was reportedly concerned with his son's failure to live up to the expectations of an heir to the crown, and at one point decided to exile the prince's favourite Piers Gaveston.

    Edward's children with Eleanor were:
    1. Katherine (before 17 June 1264 ? 5 September 1264), buried at Westminster Abbey.
    2. Joanna (Summer or January 1265 ? before 7 September 1265), buried in Westminster Abbey.
    3. John (13 July 1266 ? 3 August 1271), predeceased his father and died at Wallingford while in the custody of his granduncle Richard, Earl of Cornwall; buried at Westminster Abbey.
    4. Henry (6 May 1268 ? 14 October 1274), predeceased his father, buried in Westminster Abbey.
    5. Eleanor (c. 18 June 1269 ? 19 August 1298); in 1293 she married Henry III, Count of Bar, by whom she had two children, buried in Westminster Abbey.
    6. Juliana (after May 1271 ? 5 September 1271), born and died while Edward and Eleanor were in Acre.
    7. Joan of Acre (1272 ? 23 April 1307), married (1) in 1290 Gilbert de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford, who died in 1295, and (2) in 1297 Ralph de Monthermer. She had four children by Clare, and three or four by Monthermer.
    8. Alphonso, Earl of Chester (24 November 1273 ? 19 August 1284), predeceased his father, buried in Westminster Abbey.
    9. Margaret (c.15 March 1275 ? after 11 March 1333), married John II of Brabant in 1290, with whom she had one son.
    10. Berengaria (May 1276 ? between 7 June 1277 and 1278), buried in Westminster Abbey.
    11. Daughter (December 1277 ? January 1278), buried in Westminster Abbey.
    12. Mary of Woodstock (11 March 1278 ? before 8 July 1332[260]), a Benedictine nun in Amesbury Priory, Wiltshire, where she was probably buried.
    13. Son (1280/81 ? 1280/81), predeceased his father; little evidence exists for this child.
    14. Elizabeth of Rhuddlan (c. 7 August 1282 ? 5 May 1316), married (1) in 1297 John I, Count of Holland, (2) in 1302 Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford. The first marriage was childless; by Bohun she had ten children.
    15. Edward II (25 April 1284 ? 21 September 1327), succeeded his father as king of England. In 1308 he married Isabella of France, with whom he had four children.

    Second marriage
    By Margaret of France, Edward had two sons, both of whom lived to adulthood, and a daughter who died as a child. The Hailes Abbey chronicle indicates that John Botetourt may have been Edward's illegitimate son; however, the claim is unsubstantiated.

    His progeny by Margaret of France were:
    1. Thomas of Brotherton, 1st Earl of Norfolk (1 June 1300 ? 4 August 1338), buried in Bury St Edmunds Abbey. Married (1) Alice Hales, with issue; (2) Mary Brewes, no issue.
    2. Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent (5 August 1301 ? 19 March 1330), married Margaret Wake, 3rd Baroness Wake of Liddell, with issue.
    3. Eleanor (4 May 1306 ? August 1311).

    Notes:

    She was the Princess Castile & Leon, and later became the Queen of England.

    Eleanor of Castile (1241 ? 28 November 1290) was an English queen consort, the first wife of Edward I, whom she married as part of a political deal to affirm English sovereignty over Gascony.
    The marriage was known to be particularly close, and Eleanor travelled extensively with her husband. She was with him on the Ninth Crusade, when he was wounded at Acre, but the popular story of her saving his life by sucking out the poison has long been discredited. When she died, at Harby near Lincoln, her grieving husband famously ordered a stone cross to be erected at each stopping-place on the journey to London, ending at Charing Cross.

    Eleanor was better educated than most medieval queens and exerted a strong cultural influence on the nation. She was a keen patron of literature, and encouraged the use of tapestries, carpets and tableware in the Spanish style, as well as innovative garden designs. She was also a successful businesswoman, endowed with her own fortune as Countess of Ponthieu. [1]

    Notes:

    Barons rebelled against his rule under Simond de Montfort.

    He was the King of England from 1216 to 1272. In the 24 years (1234-58) during which he had effective control of the government, he displayed such indifference to tradition that the barons finally forced him to agree to a series of major reforms, the Provisions of Oxford (1258).

    The elder son and heir of King John (ruled 1199-1216), Henry was nine years old when his father died. At that time London and much of eastern England were in the hands of rebel barons led by Prince Louis (later King Louis VIII of France), son of the French king Philip II Augustus. A council of regency presided over by the venerable William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, was formed to rule for Henry; by 1217 the rebels had been defeated and Louis forced to withdraw from England. After Pembroke's death in 1219 Hubert de Burgh ran the government until he was dismissed by Henry in 1232. Two ambitious Frenchmen, Peter des Roches and Peter des Rivaux, then dominated Henry's regime until the barons brought about their expulsion in1234. That event marked the beginning of Henry's personal rule.

    Although Henry was charitable and cultured, he lacked the ability to rule effectively. In diplomatic and military affairs he proved to be arrogant yet cowardly, ambitious yet impractical. The breach between the King and his barons began as earlyas 1237, when the barons expressed outrage at the influence exercised over the government by Henry's Savoyard relatives. The marriage arranged (1238) by Henry between his sister, Eleanor, and his brilliant young French favourite, Simon deMontfort, Earl of Leicester, increased foreign influence and further aroused the nobility's hostility. In 1242 Henry's Lusignan half brothers involved him in a costly and disastrous military venture in France. The barons then began to demand avoice in selecting Henry's counsellors, but the King repeatedly rejected their proposal. Finally, in 1254 Henry made a serious blunder. He concluded an agreement with Pope Innocent IV (pope 1243-54), offering to finance papal wars in Sicily if thePope would grant his infant son, Edmund, the Sicilian crown. Four years later Pope Alexander IV (pope 1254-61) threatened to excommunicate Henry for failing to meet this financial obligation. Henry appealed to the barons for funds, but they agreedto cooperate only if he would accept far-reaching reforms. These measures, the Provisions of Oxford, provided for the creation of a 15-member privy council, selected (indirectly) by the barons, to advise the King and oversee the entireadministration. The barons, however, soon quarrelled among themselves, and Henry seized the opportunity to renounce the Provisions (1261). In April 1264 Montfort, who had emerged as Henry's major baronial opponent, raised a rebellion; thefollowing month he defeated and captured the King and his eldest son, Edward, at the Battle of Lewes (May 14, 1264), Sussex. Montfort ruled England in Henry's name until he was defeated and killed by Edward at the Battle of Evesham, Worcestershire, in August 1265. Henry, weak and senile, then allowed Edward to take charge of the government. After the King's death, Edward ascended the throne as King Edward I.

    Henry married Countess Eleanor BERENGER, Of Provence on 14 Jan 1236-1237 in Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent Co., England. Eleanor (daughter of Count Raymond BERENGER, V and Countess Beatrice DE SAVOIE) was born in 1222 in Aix-En-Provence, Bouches Du Rhone, France; died on 24 Jun 1291 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England; was buried on 25 Jun 1291 in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.

    Eleanor of Provence, born 1223 died June 25, 1291, Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.
    French ?l?onore De Provence queen consort of King Henry III of England (ruled 1216-7 2); her widespread unpopularity intensified the severe conflicts between the King and his barons. Eleanor's father was Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Provence, and her
    mother was the daughter of Thomas I, count of Savoy. The marriage of Eleanor and Henry (January 1236) was designed to further the King's con tinental ambitions. Eleanor soon alienated the barons by having her Savoyard and Proven?al uncles installed in high offices in England.

    After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the government in May 1264, Eleanor became the l eader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised an invasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders.

    Nevertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor then returned to England. Upon the death of Henry and the accession of her son Edward I, she retired to a nunnery at Amesbury.

    Notes:

    From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Ferdinand III:"

    "canonized Feb. 4, 1671; feast day May 30"

    "also called SAINT FERDINAND, Spanish SAN FERNANDO, king of Castile from 1217 to 1252 and of Leon from 1230 to 1252 and conqueror of the Muslim cities of C?ordoba (1236), Ja?en (1246), and Seville (1248). During his campaigns, Murcia submitted to his son Alfonso (later Alfonso X), and the Muslim kingdom of Granada became his vassal.

    "Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of Leon and Berenguela, daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile. When born, he was the heir to Leon, but his uncle, Henry I of Castile, died young, and his mother inherited the crown of Castile, which she conferred on him. His father, like many Leonese, opposed the union, and Ferdinand found himself at war with him. By his will Alfonso IX tried to disinherit his son, but the will was set aside, and Castile and Leon were permanently united in 1230.

    "Ferdinand married Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the Holy Roman emperor, a title that Ferdinand's son Alfonso X was to claim. His conquest of Lower Andalusia was the result of the disintegration of the Almohad state. The Castilians and other conquerors occupied the cities, driving out the Muslims and taking over vast estates."

    In 1217 Ferdinand became King of Castile, which crown his mother renounced in his favour, and in 1230 he succeeded to the crown of Leon, though not without civil strife, since many were opposed to the union of the two kingdoms. He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens. Following his mother's advice, Ferdinand, in 1219, married Beatrice, the daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany, one of the most virtuous princesses of her time. God blessed this union with seven children: six princes and one princess. The highest aims of Ferdinand's life were the propagation of the Faith and the liberation of Spain from the Saracen yoke. Hence his continual wars against the Saracens. He took from them vast territories, Granada and Alicante alone remaining in their power at the time of his death. In the most important towns he founded bishoprics, reestablished Catholic worship everywhere, built churches, founded monasteries, and endowed hospitals. The greatest joys of his life were the conquests of Cordova (1236) and Seville (1248). He turned the great mosques of these places into cathedrals, dedicating them to the Blessed Virgin. He watched over the conduct of his soldiers, confiding more in their virtue than in their valour, fasted strictly himself, wore a rough hairshirt, and often spent his nights in prayer, especially before battles. Amid the tumult of the camp he lived like a religious in the cloister. The glory of the Church and the happiness of his people were the two guiding motives of his life. He founded the University of Salamanca, the Athens of Spain. Ferdinand was buried in the great cathedral of Seville before the image of the Blessed Virgin, clothed, at his own request, in the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis. His body, it is said, remains incorrupt. Many miracles took place at his tomb, and Clement X canonized him in 1671. His feast is kept by the Minorites on the 30th of May.

    Fernando married Jeanne (Joan) DAMMARTIN in Oct 1237 in Castile, Burgos, Spain. Jeanne (daughter of Count Simon DAMMARTIN, II and Countess Marie (Or Jeanne) De PONTHIEU) was born about 1216 in Of, Dammartin, Seine-Et-Marne, France; died on 15 Mar 1279 in Abbeville, Somme, France; was buried in 1279.

    Countess of Ponthieu, Montreuil, and Aumale

    She was born about 1220, and succeeded to Ponthieu in 1251 on her mother's death. His widow, Queen Jeanne, returned to France in October 1254, where she took up residence at Abbeville in Ponthieu. Jeanne was co-heiress in 1259 to her cousin, Mahaut de Dammartin, Countess of Boulogne and Dammartin, by which she inherited the county of Aumale.

    JEANNE de Dammartin ([1220]-Abbeville 16 Mar 1279, bur monastery of Valoires). The De Rebus Hispani? of Rodericus Ximenes names "Mariam?mater Joann? Regin? Castell? et Legionis" as the daughter of "Comitis de Pontivo" and his wife "Adelodis" daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" (and his wife "Elisabeth", an error for Constanza). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus?natu maiorem filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi?filius comitis de Augo?comes de Roceio". "Symon comes Pontivi et Monstreoli et?Maria comitissa dicte terre" granted "quatuor millaria alectium?annuatim" [four thousand herrings a year] to the nuns of Espaigne, at the request of "primogenite nostre J. ?regine Yspanie et Castelle", by charter dated Aug 1237. It is not known whether the document accords the queen?s title to Jeanne because she was already married or just betrothed at that date. The contract of marriage between "Ferrandi?regis Castelle et Toleti, Legionis et Galicie" and "donna Johanna?socero nostro?comite Pontivi" is noted in a charter dated Jan 1238 (N. S.) issued by Louis IX King of France, which also refers to the king of Castile's letter dated 31 Oct 1237. She succeeded her father as Ctss d'Aum?le in 1239. She succeeded her mother in 1250 as Ctss de Ponthieu. She returned to France after her first husband died[1361].

    Wiki (2-2014):
    Joan of Dammartin (French: Jeanne de Dammartin; c.1220 - March 16, 1279) was Queen consort of Castile and Le?n (1252), suo jure Countess of Ponthieu (1251-1279) and Aumale (1237-1279). Her daughter, the English queen Eleanor of Castile, was her successor in Ponthieu. Her son and co-ruler in Aumale, Ferdinand II, Count of Aumale, predeceased her, so she was succeeded by her grandson John I, Count of Aumale, deceased at the Battle of Courtrai, 11 July 1302.

    Joan was the eldest daughter of Simon of Dammartin, Count of Ponthieu (1180- 21 September 1239) and his wife Marie of Ponthieu, Countess of Montreuil (17 April 1199- 1251). Her paternal grandparents were Alberic II, Count de Dammartin and Mahaut de Clermont, daughter of Renaud de Clermont, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, and Cl?mence de Bar. Her maternal grandparents were William IV of Ponthieu and Alys, Countess of the Vexin, daughter of Louis VII of France and Constance of Castile.

    After secret negotiations were undertaken in 1234, it was agreed that Joan would marry King Henry III of England. This marriage would have been politically unacceptable to the French, however, since Joan stood to inherit not only her mother's county of Ponthieu but also the county of Aumale that was vested in her father's family. Ponthieu bordered on the duchy of Normandy, and Aumale lay within Normandy itself. The French king Philip Augustus had seized Normandy from King John of England as recently as 1205, and Philip's heirs could not risk the English monarchy recovering any land in that area, since it might allow the Plantagenets to re-establish control in Normandy.

    As it happened, Joan's father Simon had become involved in a conspiracy of northern French noblemen against Philip Augustus and to win pardon from Philip's son Louis VIII, Simon - who had only daughters - was compelled to promise that he would marry off neither of his two eldest daughters without the permission of the king of France. In 1235, the queen-regent of France, Blanche of Castile, invoked that promise on behalf of her son, King Louis IX of France, and threatened to deprive Simon of all his lands if Joan married Henry III. Henry therefore abandoned the project for his marriage to Joan and in January 1236 married instead Eleanor of Provence, the sister of Louis IX's wife.

    In November 1235, Blanche of Castile's nephew, King Ferdinand III of Castile, lost his wife, Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen, and Blanche's sister Berengaria of Castile, Ferdinand's mother, was concerned that her widowed son might involve himself in liaisons that were unsuited to his dignity as king. Berengaria determined to find Ferdinand another wife, and her sister Blanche suggested Joan of Dammartin, whose marriage to the king of Castile would keep her inheritance from falling into hostile hands. In October 1237, at the age of about seventeen, Joan and Ferdinand were married in Burgos. Since Ferdinand already had seven sons from his first marriage to Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen, there was little chance of Ponthieu being absorbed by Castile.

    They had four sons and one daughter:
    Ferdinand II, Count of Aumale (1239-ca 1265) m. (after 1256) Laure de Montfort, Lady of Espernon (d before 08.1270), and had
    issue:
    Eleanor of Castile, Countess of Ponthieu, who married king Edward I of England and had issue
    Louis (1243-ca 1275), who married Juana de Manzanedo, Lady of Gaton, and had issue
    Simon (1244), died young and buried in a monastery in Toledo
    John (1245), died young and buried at the cathedral in C?rdoba

    She accompanied Ferdinand to Andalucia and lived with him in the army camp as he besieged Seville in 1248.

    Upon her mother's death in 1251, Joan succeeded as Countess of Ponthieu and Montreuil, which she held in her own right.

    After Ferdinand III died in 1252, Joan did not enjoy a cordial relationship with his heir, her stepson Alfonso X of Castile, with whom she quarreled over the lands and income she should have received as dowager queen of Castile. Sometime in 1253, she became the ally and supporter of another of her stepsons, Fadrique of Castile, who also felt Alfonso had not allowed him all the wealth their father had meant him to have. Joan unwisely attended secret meetings with Henry and his supporters, and it was rumored that she and Fadrique were lovers. This further strained her relations with Alfonso and in 1254, shortly before her daughter Eleanor was to marry Edward of England, Joan and her eldest son Ferdinand left Castile and returned to her native Ponthieu.

    Sometime between May 1260 and 9 February 1261, Joan took a second husband, Jean de Nesle, Seigneur de Falvy et de La H?relle (died 2 February 1292). This marriage is sometimes said to have produced a daughter, B?atrice, but she was in fact a child of Jean de Nesle's first marriage. In 1263, Joan was recognized as countess of Aumale after the death of a childless Dammartin cousin. But her son Ferdinand died around 1265, leaving a young son known as John of Ponthieu.

    During her marriage to Jean de Nesle, Joan ran up considerable debts and also appears to have allowed her rights as countess in Ponthieu to weaken. The death of her son Ferdinand in 1265 made her next son, Louis, her heir in Ponthieu but around 1275 he, too, died, leaving two children. But according to inheritance customs in Picardy, where Ponthieu lay, Joan's young grandson John of Ponthieu could not succeed her there; her heir in Ponthieu automatically became her adult daughter Eleanor, who was married to Edward I of England. It does not appear that Joan was displeased at the prospect of having Ponthieu pass under English domination; from 1274 to 1278, in fact, she had her granddaughter Joan of Acre (the daughter of Edward I and Eleanor) with her in Ponthieu, and appears to have treated the girl so indulgently that when she was returned to England her parents found that she was thoroughly spoiled.

    That same indulgent nature appears to have made Joan inattentive to her duties as countess. When she died at Abbeville, in March 1279, her daughter and son-in-law were thus confronted with Joan's vast debts, and to prevent the king of France from involving himself in the county's affairs, they had to pay the debts quickly by taking out loans from citizens in Ponthieu and from wealthy abbeys in France.

    They also had to deal with a lengthy legal struggle with Eleanor's nephew, John of Ponthieu, to whom Joan bequeathed a great deal of land in Ponthieu as well as important legal rights connected with those estates. The dispute was resolved when John of Ponthieu was recognized as Joan's successor in Aumale according to the inheritance customs that prevailed in Normandy, while Edward and Eleanor retained Ponthieu and John gave up all his claims there. By using English wealth, Edward and Eleanor restored stability to the administration and the finances of Ponthieu, and added considerably to the comital estate by purchasing large amounts of land there.

    Notes:

    Walter II de Beauchamp (1192/3 ? 1236), of Elmley Castle in Worcestershire (12 miles south-east of the City of Worcester), was hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire.
    He was the second son and eventual heir of William II de Beauchamp (d.1197) of Elmley, hereditary constable of Worcester Castle and hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, who died when Walter was aged about 5, when his wardship and marriage was acquired firstly by William de Braose and secondly, for the sum of 3,000 marks, by Roger Mortimer (d. 1214) of Wigmore Castle.

    Early origins
    He was the great-grandson of Walter I de Beauchamp (d.1133) of Elmley Castle, hereditary Sheriff of Worcestershire, who married Emmeline d'Abetot, daughter and heiress of Urse d'Abetot (c.1040-1108), feudal baron of Salwarpe in Worcestershire and Sheriff of Worcestershire in about 1069. Walter I de Beauchamp inherited his father-in-law's barony and also inherited Elmley Castle and other estates (held from the Bishop of Worcester) from his wife's uncle Robert d'Abetot.

    Career
    Walter's elder brother William died before Michaelmas 1211, leaving Walter as his heir, then aged 19. In 1212, still not having reached the age of mojority (i.e. 21), he was married to Johanna Mortimer (d.1225), his warder's daughter. He was in possession of his barony by 1214. He obtained his father's hereditary office of Sheriff of Worcestershire on 19 August 1215, but lost it in May 1216 when, with nineteen of his knights, he deserted to the rebels. He returned to his allegiance to King John in August 1216, and was reinstated in his lands. Walter was a witness at the re-issue of Magna Carta on 11 November 1216 and in March 1217 he was restored by King Henry III to his shrievalty and castellanship, and became Keeper of the Royal Forests in Worcestershire. He witnessed the further re-issue of Magna Carta on 11 February 1225.

    He married twice:

    Firstly, in 1212 at the age of 20, to Johanna Mortimer (d.1225), daughter of his warder Roger Mortimer (d. 1214) of Wigmore Castle, by whom he had issue including:
    1. William (III) de Beauchamp (1215-1269), eldest son and heir, who married Isabel de Mauduit, sister and heiress of William Mauduit, 8th Earl of Warwick, by whom he was the father of William de Beauchamp, 9th Earl of Warwick.

    Secondly, in 1225 or later, he married a certain Angaret (d.1280/3), of unrecorded family.

    Death
    Walter died on 11 April 1236.
