EARLDOM OF LINCOLN (II, 1)

WILLIAM DE ROUMARE, Seigneur of Roumare (near Rouen), son of RogerFITZGEROLD, by Lucy, "the Countess," was born circa 1096. In 1118 he heldNeufmarché, of which he was Castellan, for Henry I during a rebellion inwhich he was one of the few Norman barons on the King's side. He foughtfor the King in the battle of Brémule in 1119, and in November 1120 wasto have sailed in the White Ship with Prince William, but did not embark,and so saved his life. Shortly afterwards he quarrelled violently withthe King about his mother's inheritance, and, crossing to Normandy,vented his wrath on the country around his castle of Neufmarché. He alsojoined in the rebellion of 1122 led by the Count of Meulan and others,and opposed the King until the latter, in about 1127, restored a largepart of what he claimed. Thereafter he became a favourite companion ofthe King. He attested a charter granted by Henry I to Le Bec in 1131, andhis name appears as a witness to the renewed charter to the leperhospital at Chartres in 1135. He had placed monks in the church of S.Pierre at Neufmarché, and in 1132 gave the control of them to St.Evroult. On the King's death in 113 5 he was one of those charged withthe defence of the frontier of Normandy, and later took part in theadministration of the Duchy, where he mostly resided, being madeJusticiar there by Stephen. He appears to have been made an Earl byStephen, with the title of EARL OF CAMBRIDGE, though he had no land inthat county. The grant of the Earldom of Lincoln to William d'Aubigny byStephen appears to have caused great offence to William de Roumare andhis half-brother, the Earl of Chester, who, through their mother, held agreat position in Lincolnshire. Although Stephen had recently bestowedfavours on them, they, shortly after Stephen left Lincoln, seized thecastle of Lincoln in December 1140 by stratagem, and held it against himwhen he hurried back at Christmas to reclaim it. Finding it difficult todefend themselves, the Earl of Chester made his escape from the castleand sought help from Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and on 2 February 1140/1their combined forces overcame and captured the King. On his releaseStephen appears to have been reconciled to William de Roumare and to havecreated him, circa 1141, EARL OF LINCOLN. William witnessed a writ ofGeoffrey, Duke of Normandy, at Rouen, and a charter of the same there, 11October 1147. In the spring of 1152/3 he was acting for his half-brother,the Earl of Chester, in negotiating with Henry of Anjou, (afterwardsHenry II) a heavy price for the Earl of Chester's support. About thistime he went on pilgrimage to Santiago. He is said to have built thecastle of Bolingbroke.

He married Hawise, sister of Baldwin (DE REVIERS), 1st EARL OF DEVON, anddaughter of Richard DE REVIERS, who as Hadewisa comitissa attested achartcr of his in which he is called William Consul of Lincoln. He issaid to have become a monk at Revesby. He d. before 1161. His widow in1161 accounted to the Sheriff for 10 marks in Somerset. She, as Hadewysiacomitissa de Rumara, gave lands at Bure and Chewton to ChristchurchPriory, Hants, being part of her marriage gift from her brother EarlBaldwin, for the souls of her husband William Earl of Romara, and her sonWilliam and others. She gave the church of Feltham, near Staines, to thehospital of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. [Complete Peerage VII:667-70,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
