Notes


RALPH Basset [I], son of --- (-after 1124). Orderic Vitalis names "Goisfredus de Clintona, Radulfus Basset et Hugo de Bocalanda…" among those who were "de ignobili stirpe" and whom King Henry I raised "de pulvere" (from the dust)[492]. Henry of Huntingdon names "Ralph Basset and his son Richard, justices of all England"[493]. Henry I King of England confirmed property ot Eynsham abbey by charter dated 25 Dec 1109, including the donation of "decimam suam de Strattona" by "Gillebertus Basset" and "decimam suam de una hida de Estelai" by "Radulfus Basset"[494]. "…Radulfo Basset" witnessed the charter dated 1113 granted by Henry I King of England in favour of Thorney abbey[495]. "Radulfus Basset et uxor eius A." donated land "in villa…Chinalton" by charter dated 1120 witnessed by "…Willelmus Basset et Ricardus Basset"[496]. "…Rad Basset…" subscribed the charter dated to [10 Apr/29 May] 1121 which records the arrangements for the marriage of "Miloni de Gloec" and "Sibilia filia Beorndi de Novo Mercato"[497]. The Chronicle of Abingdon records that "Turstinus" [=Thurstan Le Despencer, see the document ENGLAND EARLS created 1207-1466, Chapter 1.B] donated "ecclesiam de Mercham" to "cuidam ex regis clericis (Radulfo…de Tamewrtha)", after recording the dispute between Thurstan and Abingdon monastery concerning that church[498]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records in 1124 that "Ralph Basset held a court of the king’s thanes at Hundehoh in Leicestershire and hanged there more thieves than ever before"[499]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Radulfus Basset" used to hold one knight’s fee from the abbot of Glastonbury in Somerset "tempore Regis Henrici" (presumably indicating King Henry I) now held by "hæres Radulfi Basset junioris"[500]. It is possible that "Radulfus Basset" was the paternal uncle of "Radulfi Basset junioris" although no proof has been found that this is correct. Another possibility is that "Radulfus", referring to the senior Basset, was an error for "Richardus" who is recorded elsewhere as the father of "Radulfi Basset junioris" (see above). m A---, daughter of --- (-after 1120). "Radulfus Basset et uxor eius A." donated land "in villa…Chinalton" by charter dated 1120 witnessed by "…Willelmus Basset et Ricardus Basset"[501]. Ralph [I] & his wife had [four or more] children: a) RICHARD Basset (-1144 or before). Henry of Huntingdon names "Ralph Basset and his son Richard, justices of all England"[502]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Ricardus…Basset" held "parvo feudo" in "Mosterolo" {Montreuil-au-Houlme, Orne, arr. Argentan, canton Briouze} which his father had obtained in Normandy, when reporting that Guillaume de Montpinçon took the castle as a base against the Angevins (dated to 1136)[503], which suggests that Richard was his father’s oldest son. "Radulfus Basset et uxor eius A." donated land "in villa…Chinalton" by charter dated 1120 witnessed by "…Willelmus Basset et Ricardus Basset"[504]. Henry I King of England confirmed that he had granted "filiam Galfridi Ridel in uxorem" to "Ricardo Basset", together with the wardship of "terre predicti G. Ridel" until "Robertus Ridel" became a knight and married "neptem Radulfi Basset, scilicet filiam cuiusdam filie sue de muliere", by charter dated to [1120/23] witnessed by "…Roberti Basset et Osmundi Basset et Turstini Basset…"[505]. Henry I King of England recorded that "Nicholaus Basset" had quitclaimed him lands held of him "in capite…Mixeb et Wilaviston et…in Neuiton et Vivilcote", and that he had granted the lands to "Ricardo Basset", by charter dated to [1129/30][506]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Ric bass" (two entries) in Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire, in Surrey/Cambridge/Huntingdonshire, in Essex/Hertfordshire, and exempt in Staffordshire[507]. "…Ricard[us] Basset…" witnessed the charter dated to [Apr/21 Nov] 1136 under which King Stephen confirmed churches in Exeter[508]. m ([1120/23]) MATILDA, daughter of GEOFFREY Ridel & his wife Geva ---.

Ridel" until "Robertus Ridel" became a knight and married "neptem Radulfi Basset, scilicet filiam cuiusdam filie sue de muliere", by charter dated to [1120/23][509].

Richard & his wife had five children: i) RALPH Basset of Drayton Basset, Staffordshire (-1160). Henry II King of England confirmed the property of Eynsham abbey, including the donations by "Gisleberti Basset decimam de Stratona…Radulfi Basset decimam…de Estlaia" by charter dated 20 Dec [1159/61][511]. - BASSET of DRAYTON BASSET, STAFFORDSHIRE. ii) GEOFFREY Ridel (-1180).

His parentage is confirmed by the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 which records “terra eius in Riscinton” held by “uxor que fuit Roberti de Caux et mater uxoris Radulfi filii Stephani, Cambellani domini regis, filia Ricardi Basset et soror Willelmi Basset…”[513]. "…Willo Basset…" witnessed the charter dated to [1152/67] under which the monks of Leicester abbey authorised the establishment of the church of St Mary the Less, Leicester[514].

Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter date to [1160] under which [her brother] "Gaufridus Ridel" granted various properties in the counties of Leicester, Rutland and Northampton to "Johanni fratri meo", which notes that "ipse Johannes filius Johannis" swore homage to the grantor and gave him a gold ring[517]. William Reedy assumes that "Johanni fratri meo" was the grantor’s brother-in-law John de Stuteville[518]. This appears to be confimed as correct by theundated charter under which "Gaufridus Ridel" confirmed that "Johanni de Stutevilla" did homage to him by on the same day, witnessed by "…Radulfus Basset, Ricardus Basset, W. Basset…R. de Stutevill, Nicolaus de Stutevill…"[519].
