Isabel de Vere, Countess of Oxford

There are conflicting well-researched reports as to whether this Isabel was the daughter of Walter de Bolbec (wife Sybil) or Hugh II de Bolbec of Whitchurch (wife Margaret), who were either brothers or possibly father and son. Apparently there were at least two Isabel de Bolbecs who lived at the same time and both of whom married into the de Vere family.

According to the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy's Medieval Lands Database, Hugh (II) de Bolebec was the father of Walter and the Isabel who married Henry de Nonant and secondly Robert de Vere. Walter had a daughter named Isabel who married Aubrey de Vere, and she died around 1206. Her aunt Isabel, who last married Robert De Vere and was the mother of Hugh de Vere, died 3 Feb 1245, and was buried at Oxford, Church of the Preaching Friars. According to the FMG:

Her two marriages are confirmed by the Testa de Nevill which includes a writ of King John dated 1212 recording that "Robertus de Ver" held "manerium de Cliston" in Devon "de dote cum Isabella uxore sua que fuit uxor Henrici de Nunant", adding that King Henry I had first granted the manor to "Rogero de Nunant antecessori suo"[424]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. m firstly HENRY de Nonant, son of --- (-1206). m secondly ROBERT de Vere Earl of Oxford, son of AUBREY de Vere [III] Earl of Oxford & his third wife Agnes de Essex (-before 25 Oct 1221, bur Hatfield Priory). [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISHNOBILITYMEDIEVAL3.htm#_Toc25...]

VERSION ONE (Walter as father). This version is in conflict with that of the FMG:

BIRTH: 1175, Wraysbury, England or Hatfield, Essex, England

DEATH: 3 Feb 1245, Oxfordshire, England

BURIAL: Friars Church, Oxford

Aka: Bolebec. "Isabel de Bolebec, daughter of Walter, was nine years old at the death of her father [in 1185], and became the ward of Alberic de Vere, Earl of Oxford, who paid the King 500 marks in 1191 in order that his son might marry her. She married Robert de Vere, and had a son, Hugh de Vere, who became fourth Earl of Oxford, Baron de Bolebec, and Great Chamberlain of England. In 1207, Isabel procured the King's patent, that she might receive from all her freehold tenants monies toward the means of raising a fine of three hundred marks and three palfreys, that she might not be compelled to marry, but might enjoy the arrears of her own inheritance, and that of her sister, Constance. After 1221, Isabel is known to have married Henry de Novant, whose name also appears as de Novent, and de Nuvant. As a widow of her first husband she had the custody of the castles of Caveneles, and Hengeham-- probably Heningham -- near Earls Colne, the burial place of the de Veres, committed to her charge in 1222. She built a convent for the Dominicans at Oxford. In 1239, Reginald de Valletort gave 600 marks to the King for the living of Clifton, Claughton,and Buksham, held by Isabel de Bolebec in dower from her husband Henry de Novant. That same year, she appointed Peter de Mera to the living of Whitchurch. Isabel died 3 February, 1245. Since her son, Hugh de Vere, assumed the title, Baron de Bolebec, most references consider Isabel as the last of her family. However, there were others to carry on the family name though their relationship is obscure, or unknown."

VERSION TWO (Hugh II as father). This version supports the FMG report, above, and appears to be the version with the most scholarly support:

Isabel de Bolebec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford (1165 – 3 February 1245) was eldest daughter and co-heiress of Hugh II de Bolebec, lord of Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, England (d. c. 1166) and his wife Margaret de Montfichet. Isabel was a patroness of the Order of Friars Preacher (Dominicans) in England. She was always referred to as Isabel or Isabella de Bolebec after her second marriage to Robert de Vere in contemporary documents.

Marriage

She married first Henry of Nonant (Novaunt), lord of Totnes, Devonshire who died childless in 1206. In 1207, she petitioned the Crown for the right to marry whom she wished. She received permission, and that same year she married Robert de Vere, later heir to the earldom of Oxford.[1] Her only known child, Hugh de Vere (later fourth earl of Oxford), was born within the next year, and Isabel became countess of Oxford when Robert inherited the earldom from his brother in 1214.

Robert joined the barons whose dissatisfaction with King John of England prompted their rebellion, and the earl was one of twenty-five barons elected by the terms of Magna Carta to ensure the king's continued good behavior. That position led to his excommunication when Pope Innocent III released John from the terms of Magna Carta, and the king took Castle Hedingham, Essex, the earl's seat, in 1216.

Robert made peace with the regents of John's son, Henry III of England, in 1217 and eventually served as a judge until his death in 1222. The widowed Countess Isabel purchased the wardship of her minor son and his inheritance for 6000 marks. They travelled together on pilgrimage "beyond the sea" in 1237.

Dominican Order

Isabel was one of the chief benefactors of the Dominican Order in England. She assisted the friars sent to England in 1221 to find quarters in the city of Oxford, contributing to the building of their oratory there c. 1227. When the friars needed a larger priory, she and the bishop of Carlisle bought land south of Oxford and contributed most of the funds and materials needed. She was buried in the new church there.

The countess was litigious, engaging in a number of lawsuits, including one long dispute with Woburn Abbey.

Notes

  1. ^ Her niece bore the same first and surname, Isabel de Bolebec, and also married a de Vere, Robert's brother Aubrey de Vere, 2nd earl of Oxford. That has led to confusion and difficulty separating the two women. Isabel the younger had died by 1207, and her aunts Isabel and Constance were her co-heirs.

Isabel de Bolebec, Countess of Oxford (1165 – 3 February 1245) was eldest daughter and co-heiress of Hugh II de Bolebec, lord of Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire, England (d. c. 1166) and his wife Margaret de Montfichet. Isabel was a patroness of the Order of Friars Preacher (Dominicans) in England. She was always referred to as Isabel or Isabella de Bolebec after her second marriage to Robert de Vere in contemporary documents.

Marriage

She married first Henry of Nonant (Novaunt), lord of Totnes, Devonshire who died childless in 1206. In 1207, she petitioned the Crown for the right to marry whom she wished. She received permission, and that same year she married Robert de Vere, later heir to the earldom of Oxford. Her only known child, Hugh de Vere (later fourth earl of Oxford), was born within the next year, and Isabel became countess of Oxford when Robert inherited the earldom from his brother in 1214.

Robert joined the barons whose dissatisfaction with King John of England prompted their rebellion, and the earl was one of twenty-five barons elected by the terms of Magna Carta to ensure the king's continued good behavior. That position led to his excommunication when Pope Innocent III released John from the terms of Magna Carta, and the king took Castle Hedingham, Essex, the earl's seat, in 1216.

Robert made peace with the regents of John's son, Henry III of England, in 1217 and eventually served as a judge until his death in 1222. The widowed Countess Isabel purchased the wardship of her minor son and his inheritance for 6000 marks. They travelled together on pilgrimage "beyond the sea" in 1237.

Dominican Order

Isabel was one of the chief benefactors of the Dominican Order in England. She assisted the friars sent to England in 1221 to find quarters in the city of Oxford, contributing to the building of their oratory there c. 1227. When the friars needed a larger priory, she and the bishop of Carlisle bought land south of Oxford and contributed most of the funds and materials needed. She was buried in the new church there.

The countess was litigious, engaging in a number of lawsuits, including one long dispute with Woburn Abbey.

Notes

^ Her niece bore the same first and surname, Isabel de Bolebec, and also married a de Vere, Robert's brother Aubrey de Vere, 2nd earl of Oxford. That has led to confusion and difficulty separating the two women. Isabel the younger had died by 1207, and her aunts Isabel and Constance were her co-heirs.

The widowed Countess Isabel purchased the wardship of her minor son and his inheritance for 6000 marcs. They traveled together on pilgrimage 'beyond the seas' in 1237.

Countess Isabel was one of the chief benefactors of the Dominican Order in England. She assisted the friars sent to England in 1221 to find quarters in the city of Oxford, contributing to the building of their oratory there c. 1227. When the friars needed a larger priory, she and the bishop of Carlisle bought land south of Oxford and contributed most of the funds and materials needed. She was buried in the new church there.

The countess was litigious, engaging in a number of lawsuits, including one long dispute with Woburn Abbey.

[edit]Notes

^ Her niece bore the same first and surname, Isabel de Bolebec, and also married a de Vere, Robert's brother Aubrey de Vere, 2nd earl of Oxford. That has led to confusion and difficulty separating the two women. Isabel the younger had died by 1207, and her aunts Isabel and Constance were her co-heirs.
