Notes par Richard I of Vernon

William's son Richard de Vernon, Seigneur de Reviers, Vernon, and Néhou was known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings along with his brother Walter, for which he was rewarded with lands in Cheshire under the patronage of Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester. Richard settled at Shipbrook, about 2 miles to the south east of Northwich and was created Baron of Shipbrooke, he was appointed as one of the eight barons under the Norman administration of Cheshire. Richard de Verno married Adzelia, the daughter of William Peverel, who was rumoured to be an illegitimate son of William the Conqueror.

He was a faithful adviser of the Conqueror's youngest son, King Henry I, and aided him in his struggle against his brother Robert Curthose for control of the English throne. He witnessed more than 20 of Henry's charters & royal writs, in several different places, and sometimes as the only witness. By the time of his death in 1107, de Vernon had risen to become one of the richest and most powerful barons in England. Henry I rewarded him with several large grants of land, these included the honours of Plympton in Devon, Carisbrooke on the Isle of Wight and Christchurch in Hampshire. In addition to these he held estates in Normandy in the Cotentin and he had also acquired the manors of Crowell in Oxfordshire and Woolley in Berkshire on his marriage. Richard died on 8th September 1107 and was buried at his foundation of the Abbey of Montebourg in Normandy. Following his death his loyalty was remarked upon by the saintly Anselm of Canterbury. He left 3 sons, Badwin de Vernon, who became 1st Earl of Dorrset, William de Vernon, Lord of Vernon, who commanded a company of perhaps the first Welsh archers to be used in the Norman wars, and was later a travelling judge with County Geoffrey Plantagenet in Normandy. The third son was Hugh de Vernon, Baron of Shipbrook, from whom the Shipbrook Vernons descend. Source: http://www.cheshirenow.co.uk/vernon_family.html
