02. Sir Maurice De Berkeley [1] 5th feudal baron of Berkeley and son of Thomas and Joan was born in 1218. He was known as "Maurice the Resolute". He married Isabel De Credonia on July 12, 1247, daughter of Baron Maurice De Credonia and Isabel De Valence, the illegitimate daughter of King John by Rohese. He joined the Barons against King Henry III in 1264 which resulted in his lands being seized. King Henry III, having a respect for Isabel and out of compassion for the poverty of his niece, assigned he manors of Herietsham and Trottesclyffe for her maintenance. Maurice died on April 4, 1281.
The Berkeley family is unique in English history in that it has to this day an unbroken male line of descent from a noble Saxon ancestor before the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and also retains possession of much of the lands it held from the 11th and 12th centuries, centered on Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire.
