Surety for the Magna Charta
Hugh Bigod, b. bef. 1195, was the eldest son and heir of Roger Bigod, also one of the celebrated twenty-five Sureties for the observance of the Magna Charta, and took part from the beginning in the barons' Magna Charta proceedings, and was, with his father, elected one of the Sureties for this instrument. There are few particulars of this baron's life extant, for he enjoyed the title of Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and his father's estates and honors, to which he succeeded in 5 Henry III, but a few years, as he died 9 Henry III.
He md. Maud, (her first husband), eldest dau. and co-heiress of William le Mareschal, (or Marshall), by his wife Isabel de Clare, only child and heiress of Richard, the Strongbow, second Earl of Pembroke. She had been under the guardianship of King Henry II, and was given in marriage to William Marshall by King Richard, the Lion-Hearted, in 1189, before his coronation, and with her he acquired the earldom of Pembroke, and in this rank bore the royal sceptre at the coronation of Richard I. He was brother and heir-male of John, Baron Marshall, hereditary marshal of the king's household, who bore the great golden spurs of the king at the coronation of Richard I, and shortly died s. p.
William Marshall first appears in English history as a supporter of Prince Henry, the rebellious son of Henry II. This prince, upon his death-bed, delivered to his "most confidential friend, William le Mareschal", his cross, desiring him to convey it to Jerusalem, which commission, however, he personally never fulfilled, as he shortly afterwards md. the great heiress, Isabel de Clare, became Earl of Pembroke, and "king of Leinster", in her right, and was left at home by Richard, Coeur de Lion, when he set out on his journey to the Holy Land, as one of the assistants in the government of the realm during his absence. Upon the decease of his brother John, in 1199, he became lord marshal to King John, and, on the day of John's coronation, he was invested with the sword of the earldom of Pembroke, being then confirmed in the possession of the said inheritance, and was shortly afterwards appointed high sheriff of the counties of Sussex and Gloucester. In a few years he had grants from King John of Goderich Castle, in County Hereford, and of the whole province of Leinster, in Ireland.[1] Being in such high favor with the king, he was a strenuous supporter of the royal interests upon the breaking out of the baronial insurrection, and was deputed by the king, with the Archbishop of Canterbury, to ascertain the grievances and demands of the barons, but his eldest son, William, was a supporter of the baronial cause and elected one of the twenty-five Sureties for the observance of the Magna Charta. At the demise of King John, the Earl of Pembroke was so powerful that lie prevailed upon the barons to appoint a day for the coronation of Henry III, to whom he was constituted guardian by the barons who had remained firm in their allegiance. Subsequently, as protector of England, he took up arms in the royal cause, and, after achieving a victory over the rebel barons, at Lincoln, proceeded to London, then held by the barons, and invested the city, both by land and water, and reduced it to extremity for want of provisions. He was the most eminent statesman and soldier of his time, and was also distinguished for his piety and attachment to The Church. He had five sons, by the heiress of Clare, who each succeeded in his lands and honors, and all died without issue, when all his honors became extinct, and his great inheritance devolved upon his five daus.
Lady Maud, wife of Hugh Bigod, obtained as her share the homestead-manor of Hempsted-Marshall, in Berks, with the office of marshal of England, which was inherited by her son, Roger Bigod, fourth Earl of Norfolk, and surrendered to the crown by her grand-son Roger, fifth Earl. The Earl of Pembroke had as his second wife, Alice, dau. of Baldwin de Bethune, Earl of Albermale, md. in 1203.
Richard de Clare, aforesaid, surnamed the Strongbow, was the eldest son of Gilbert de Clare (brother of Richard de Clare, first Earl of Hereford), who, having license from the king to enjoy all the lands he should win by his sword in Wales, brought Caerdiganshire under subjection, erected strong castles, and, in 1138, was created Earl of Pembroke by King Stephen. Richard, the Strongbow, procured for himself a conspicuous place in history by the leading part he took in the subjugation of Ireland, and his romantic marriage, in 1171, at Waterford, with Princess Eva, dau. and heiress of Dermot Macmurcha, the last king of the province of Leinster, with whom he had in dower a great part of the realm, and was "king of Leinster", in right of his wife. He was constituted justiciary of Ireland by King Henry II, and, dying in Apr 1176, was bur. in the chapter-house at Gloucester, leaving issue an only dau. and heiress, Isabella, who md., as above, William Marshall.
