Notes

GEOFFREY de Mandeville (-after 1104). “…Josfridi de Magna Villa…” witnessed the charter dated to [1070/75] under which William I King of England donated Plumstead to St Augustine’s, Canterbury. “Godefridus de Magnavilla” founded Hurley Priory, Berkshire,for the souls of “uxoris meæ Lecelinæ…Athalaisæ primæ uxoris meæ, matris filiorum meorum iam defunctæ,” by undated charter witnessed by “Lecelina domina uxor mea, Willielmus de Magnavilla….” "…Goffridum de Mannavilla…" witnessed the charter under which William I King of England confirmed the rights of Ely abbey. Domesday Book records the land of “Geoffrey de Mandeville” in Brixton, Wallington and Woking Hundreds in Surrey, in Berkshire including in Kintbury Hundred and Lambourn Hundred, properties in Middlesex and Hertfordshire. He held the manors of Great Waltham, Saffron Walden, High Easter and Pleshey, in Essex, as well as other manors in other counties in Domesday Book[668]. A charter dated 1104 records donations to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur by "Nigellus presbyter de Geroville et Rogerus frater eius et Briennius filius ipsius," witnessed by "Rogero de Magnevilla et Gaufrido fratre suo…." m firstly ADELAIS, daughter of --- (-before [1085]). “Godefridus de Magnavilla” founded Hurley Priory, Berkshire, for the souls of “…Athalaisæ primæ uxoris meæ, matris filiorum meorum iam defunctæ,” by undated charter. m secondly (before [1085]) LESCELINE, daughter of ---. “Godefridus de Magnavilla” founded Hurley Priory, Berkshire, for the souls of “uxoris meæ Lecelinæ…”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lecelina domina uxor mea, Willielmus de Magnavilla….” Geoffrey & his first wife had four children:
a) WILLIAM de Mandeville (-[1116]). “Godefridus de Magnavilla” founded Hurley Priory, Berkshire, for the souls of “uxoris meæ Lecelinæ…”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lecelina domina uxor mea, Willielmus de Magnavilla…”[673]. ”Walterus de Gant, filius et hæres Gisilberti de Gant” restored Bardney Abbey in 1115, witnessed by “Roberto de ---, Willielmo nepote meo constabulario Cestriæ, Willielmo de Mandevill…,” m ([1100/05]) as her first husband, MARGUERITE, daughter of EUDES de Rie, dapifer,of Colchester, Essex & his wife Rohese ---. The Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names “Margareta” as daughter of “Eudoni dapifero Regis Normanniæ,” adding that she married “Willielmo de Mandavill” by whom she was mother of “Gaufridi filii comitis Essexiæ et iure matris Normanniæ dapifer.” According to the Complete Peerage, this genealogy is “probably erroneous” but it does not explain the basis for the doubts. She married secondly ([1116/19]) Ottiwell. This second marriage is suggested by the charter dated [1141/42] under which Empress Matilda made various grants of property including a grant to "Willelmo filio Otuel fratri…Comitis Gaufredi." The only contemporary Ottiwell who has so far been identified was Ottiwell FitzHugh, illegitimate son of Hugh Earl of Chester. William & his wife had [three] children:
i) GEOFFREY ([1100/05]-Mildenhall, Suffolk 14 or 16 Sep 1144, bur 1163 New Temple Church). The Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names “Gaufridi filii comitis Essexiæ et iure matris Normanniæ dapifer” as son of “Willielmo de Mandavill” and his wife “Margareta.” He was created Earl of Essex in 1140 and 1141.

ii) BEATRIX ([1105]-[Rickling, Essex] 19 Apr [1197 or before], bur Walden Abbey). A manuscript listing property of Walden abbey states, quoting a charter of Stephen King of England dated 1147, that “sororem suam…Beatricem” (referring to "Galfridus Essexiæ comes") married "Hugoni Talebot" from whom she was divorced and secondly "Willielmo de Saye." She became the heiress of her nephew William de Mandeville Earl of Essex, her son by her second husband, Geoffrey, being allowed to occupy her place inview of her age. The History of the foundation of Walden abbey records that “Beatrix de Mandavilla domina de Say, soror Galfridi primi, fundatoris, et amita Willielmi” succeeded her nephew. The History of the foundation of Walden abbey records the death in 1200 of “Beatrix de Say, soror fundatoris nostri et uxor Willielmi de Say” and her burial in the abbey[682]. m firstly (divorced) HUGH [III] Talbot, son of ---. m secondly WILLIAM de Say, son of [JORDAN de Say & his wife Lucy de Rumilly] (-[1155]). He fought with his brother-in-law at the siege of Burwell Castle in Aug 1144.
iii) [ALICE . Round suggests Alice’s parentage and marriage based on a charter in which "Adelid" Capra names William Earl of Essex as her "nepos"[684]. m WILLIAM "Capra", son of ---. Empress Matilda made various grants of property by charter dated to [1141/42] including a grant of "terram patris sui" to "Willelmus Cap.’"]

i) [WILLIAM .] m ---. The name of William’s wife is not known. The descendants shown below are as noted in Domesday Descendants.

(1) WILLIAM FitzGeoffrey . King John confirmed the grant made by "Hug de Bellocampo" of "terram…in Chelardeston" to "Willelmo fil Gaufr…in maritagio cum Olyva sorore predicti Hug" by charter dated 5 Jun 1200. m OLIVA de Beauchamp, daughter of --- de Beauchamp & his wife ---. King John confirmed the grant made by "Hug de Bellocampo" of "terram…in Chelardeston" to "Willelmo fil Gaufr…in maritagio cum Olyva sorore predicti Hug" by charter dated 5 Jun 1200.
