Notes par Reginald van Warenne

Reginald de Warenne (sometimes Rainald de Warenne;[1] between 1121 and 1126 – 1179) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and royal official. The third son of an earl, Reginald began his career as an administrator of his brother's estates and married the heiress to the feudal barony of Wormegay in Norfolk. By the reign of King Henry II, Reginald was a royal justice and played a minor role in the Becket controversy in 1170. He died in 1179 and left a son and heir together with several daughters.

Reginald de Warenne was the third son of William de Warenne,[2] the second Earl of Surrey, who died in 1138. Reginald's mother was Isabel de Vermandois.[3] Reginald was likely born between 1121 and 1126.[1] Reginald's brothers were William de Warenne, the third Earl of Surrey, and Ralph de Warenne. Reginald's two sisters were Gundrada de Warenne who married first Roger, Earl of Warwick and then William of Lancaster, and Ada de Warenne who married Henry, Earl of Huntingdon.[3] Ada's husband was the only son of King David I of Scotland, and she was the mother of two kings of Scotland – Malcolm IV and William I. From their mother's first marriage to Robert de Beaumont, Reginald and his siblings were half-siblings of the twins Robert de Beaumont the Earl of Leicester and Waleran de Beaumont, the Count of Meulan and Earl of Worcester.[4] There was another Reginald de Warenne alive during Reginald's lifetime – this may have been an illegitimate half-brother.

Reginald married Alice, the daughter and heiress of William de Wormegay, Baron of Wormegay in Norfolk. William de Wormegay had died in 1166 and Reginald was fined just over 466 pounds by the king for the right to inherit his father-in-law's lands. With his father-in-law's death he became Lord of Wormegay, or Baron Wormegay.[19] This lordship was assessed at 14 and a quarter knight's fees and was located mostly in Norfolk and Suffolk. The centre of the honour was at Lynn, Norfolk.[20]

Sometime between Michaelmas 1178 and the start of 1179, Reginald retired from public life and became a monk at Lewes Priory, which had been founded by his family.[1] When he retired, the Exchequer began to pressure him to repay his debts to the king, which for the previous decade or more they had ignored.[18] Reginald died in 1179, and his heir was his son William de Warenne.[19] Besides his son, Reginald also had several daughters. One was Gundrada who married three times – first to Peter de Valognes,[2] son of Roger de Valognes,[21] second to William de Courcy,[2] son of William de Courcy[c] and Avice de Rumilly the daughter of William Meschin,[22] and third to Geoffrey Hose,[2] the son of Henry Hose.[23] Another daughter was Alice who married Peter, constable of Mealton. A possible third daughter was Muriel, who was a nun at Carrow Abbey.[2] Another possible daughter was Ela, who married Duncan the Earl of Fife.[24] At his death, Reginald still owed a large portion of the fine levied against him for the inheritance of his father-in-law's estates.[1]

The historian Edmund King has called Reginald "the fixer in that formidable family".[25] Reginald gave lands and gifts to several monasteries. Among these were the Warenne family foundations of Lewes and Castle Acre Priory, with further gifts to Carrow, Clerkenwell Priory, and Binham Priory.
