Notities over Piers GAVESTON

Piers de Gavaaton was patently son of Sir Ernaud de Gavaston, a knight of Edward I, whose wife was the lady Clarmunda de Marsan et de Louvigny, known in her lifetime as the lady Marcia. Sir Ernaud evidently descended from "Ernald Gast whom King John in 1200 granted certain lands near Bordeaux [Charter Rolls for that year]. Also see C. F. Tout, The Place of Edward II in English History (2nd ed., 1936) p. 12, note, which adds corroborative details touching Gavaston's Gascon kinsfolk.

Piers became a favorite with Edward II, who created him Earl of Cornwall, and his sad story is well known. He married, 1 Nov. 1307, Margaret, daughter of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, by his wife Joan de Acre, the king's sister His rise was rapid and his career was brief. He was executed 19 June 1312. In spite of the assertion in Dugdale's Baronage, in the 11th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, vol. 11, p. 539, and in the new edition of the Complete Peerage, that Piers left an only daughter, he and his wife had the following issue:

Joan, b. Ca. 1309, d. Jan. 1325 aged 15 years [Calendar of Inquisitions, Misc., vol. II, p. 326, No. 1329; cf. VCH, Wiltshire, vol. VI. "Joan, daughter of Piers de Gavaston, late earl of Cornwall, died in the priory of Amesbury on the feast of St. Hilary, 18 Edward II, she was of age of 15 years and died of illness. Thomas de Multon, lord of Egremcnt, alienated none of her lands before or after her death."
2.(TAG Vol. 40, p. 95) Amy.

New Complete Peerage claims that his "only daughter" Joan died young. That he had another daughter, Amy or Anne, married to John de Driby (or Dryby), we Suspected but could not prove by direct positive evidence. We are indebted to the research of Mr. Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., for actual proof (the fine dated 1334. quoted under V below) that Amy (Anne) was indeed a daughter of Piers (Peter) de Gavaston.
DEATH: Executed
