  • Notes 
    • "Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
      "ROBERT DE TREGOZ, Knt., of Tr?gots, Favarches, and St. Romphaire (all in Normandy), Bailiff of C?tentin, 1180, Sheriff of Wiltshire, 1191-2, Keeper of Salisbury and Clarendon Castles, and of Bristol, Warden of Gavray, Neaufle, and Similly Castles, and, in right of his wife, of Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire, Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire, Lydiard Tregoz, Wiltshire, etc., son and heir. He married SIBYL DE EWYAS (or EWIAS), daughter and co-heiress of Robert de Ewyas, of Ewyas Harold, Herefordshire, Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, etc., by his wife, Pernel. They had three sons, Robert, John, and William [Rector of St. Keyne]. He was in constant attendance on King Richard I, witnessing a large number of his charters in England and Normandy. In 1194 the king granted him land in Martinsgrove (Groves in Oving), Sussex of the annual value of 100s. In 1197 he found a religious house near his castle as a cell to the abbey of Hambie. A few years later, he gave land in his manor of La Grave (in Oving), Sussex to Boxgrove Priory. He continued to enjoy royal favor under King John, many of whose charters he attested, and by his adherence to him lost his possessions in Normandy. In the inquest of 1212, he appears as holding in Herefordshire one knight's fee and a half in right of his wife. SIR ROBERT DE TREGOZ died shortly before 4 June 1214. In 1214 his widow, as Sibyl de Ewias, arraigned an assize of ultima presentacionis against the Abbot of Gloucester regarding the church of Brean, Somerset. In 1218 his widow, Sibyl, rendered account for 800 marks not to be distrained to marry, to marry as she chose, and to have her maritagium and dower of Robert de Tregoz [see Pipe Roll 2 Henry III, p. 93 (sub Herefordshire)]. In Nov. 1218 the lands of Robert de Tregoz in Tregots, Favarches, and St. Romphaire were granted to King Philip Augustus to Mile de L?vis. She married (2nd) before 13 Feb. 1216/7 ROGER DE CLIFFORD, of Tenbury, Worcestershire, Constable of Hanley Castle, 1216, Constable of St. Briavels Castle and Warden of the Forest of Dean, 1224-30, younger son of Walter de Clifford, of Clifford, Herefordshire, Corham, Shropshire, etc., Sheriff of Herefordshire, by Agnes, daughter of Roger de Condy. They had one son, Roger. He fought in Ireland in 1210. He adhered to King John against the Barons. In 1217 he was granted the manor of Axford, Wiltshire by the king. In 1221 he was present at the Siege of Bytharn Castle in Lincolnshire. In 1222 he brought a suit against the Prior of Gloucester regarding the advowson of the church of Burnham, Somerset, he pleading that the son of Robert de Ewyas, father of the plaintiff's wife, last presented to the church. He was granted a weekly market at Tenbury, Worcestershire in 1223 and free warren at Lydiard, Wiltshire in 1226. He was granted the manor of Severn Stoke, Worcestershire by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke about 1229. In 1230 he was granted the manor of Slaughter, Gloucestershire by the king. ROGER DE CLIFFORD died shortly before 28 August 1231, and was buried in Dore Abbey, Herefordshire. His widow, Sibyl, as "Sibyl de Ewias, lady of Burneham," acknowledged that Helias the chaplain and the canons of Wells have a right of way to carry wheat and hay through the land of her men of Burnham, Somerset, and common of pasture with them for 5d. yearly rent at Michaelmas. Sibyl died shortly before 1 July 1236.
