-------------------------

Oxford, Earldom of: This title, held originally by the de Veres from 1142to 1702/3, was not the earliest post-Conquest earldom creation. But byCharles I's reign it had been held in unbroken male succession for solong, and the Wars of the Roses together with the Tudor's use ofattainder to cut down overmighty subjects had so depleted the other greatmedieval families, that Chief Justic Crew could in 1626 deliver hisfamous rhetorical question with some cogency. ["This great honour, thishigh and noble dignity hath continued ever since in the remarkablesurname of de Vere, by so many ages, descents and generations, as noother kingdom can produce such a peer in one and the self same name andtitle. I find in all this length of time, but two attainders of thisnoble family, and those in stormy and tempestuous times, when thegovernment was unsettled, and the kingdom in competition. I havelaboured to make a covenant with myself, that affection may not pressupon judgement, for I suppose there is not many that hath anyapprehension of gentry or nobleness, but his affection stands to thecontinuance of so noble a name and house, and would take hold of a twigor a twine thread to uphold it. And yet, time hath its revolutions;there must be a period and an end to all things temporal--finisrerum--and end of names and dignities and whatever is terrene, and whynot de Vere? For where is Bohun? Where is Mowbray? Where is Mortimer?Nay, which is more and most of all, where is Plantagent? They areentombed in the urns and sepulchres of mortality! And yet let the nameand dignity of de Vere stand so long as it pleaseth God."]

Aubrey de Vere's choice of Oxford as the name of his title in 1142 wassomewhat arbitrary, however. The Empress Maud had conferred on him anEarldom of Cambridgeshire, together with the third penny of certainrevenues from the count for the upkeep of the dignity, which at that timewas a necessary concomitant of earldoms. But if Cambridgeshire were inthe hands of the King of Scots [David I], which ultimately proved to bethe case, and the Empress could not effect and exchange, Aubrey was totake his pick of title from the Earldoms of Berkshire, Dorsetshire orWiltshire, besides Oxford (or Oxfordshire--there was little distinctionbetween a county name and county town name at this period where earldomswere concerned). Aubrey only seems to have chosen Oxford(shire) becauseit was the least remote from his own principal land holdings inEssex--which is to say, not close at all, particularly given 12th centurycommunications.

EARLDOM OF OXFORD (I) 1142

AUBREY DE VERE III, Hereditary Master Chamberlain of England, 1st son andheir, born probably circa 1110. Before 1136 he was given land atHintlesham, Suffolk, and elsewhere by Alan son of Ralph and his motherAgnes, the grant being confirmed by Henry I and Count Stephen of Brittanyas Lord of Richmond. Stephen's successor, Alan, Earl of Richmond, gaveAubrey and his heirs the lordship of Spains Hall in Finchingfield, Essex.In or shortly before 1139 the Count and Countess of Guisnes selected himas husband for their granddaughter and heiress, and he married Beatricein England. On the death of her grandfather, Count Manasses, at the endof 1139, Aubrey hastened to Guisnes and, after doing homage to Thierry,Count of Flanders, became Count of Guisnes; and returning to England, beobtained from King Stephen his wife's English inheritance, i.e. a part ofthe barony of Folkestone. He remained in England, and in 1140 or early in1141, as Count Aubrey, be confirmed his father's gifts to Hatfield; andOrding, Abbot of St. Edmunds, granted to him as Count of Guisnes the feesand service of his uncle Roger de Vere and of Alan FitzFrodon, and 100shillings per annum. In May 1141 Aubrey succeeded his father, and hecontinued to reside chiefly in England. From Stephen he probably obtaineda charter confirming him in all his father's holdings; after which heturned to the Empress Maud, who gave him a general charter ofconfirmation, in particular of the office of Master Chamberlain. In 1142he joined the plot of his brother-in-law, Geoffrey de Mandeville, 1stEarl of Essex, against Stephen, and in July 1142 the Empress granted hima charter, as Earl or Count Aubrey, by which she conceded that he shouldbe Earl of Cambridgeshire, with the third penny, unless that county wereheld by the King of Scots; in which case, if she could not obtain it byexchange, Aubrey should be Earl Of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, orDorsetshire at his option. She also confirmed the abovementioned chartersand granted him inter alia all the land of William d'Avranches with theinheritance which he claimed jure uxoris and the tower and castle ofColchester. Evidently the King of Scots regarded Cambridge as an appanageof his Earldom of Huntingdon, for Aubrey took the title of EARL OFOXFORD, and so styled himself in a charter granted to Colne Priory forthe soul of his father, probably soon afterwards and certainly not laterthan 1147. In 1143 Stephen crushed the plot against him by arrestingEarls Geoffrey and Aubrey at St. Albans; and Aubrey had to surrenderCanfield Castle to regain his freedom. In that year he is styled "ComesAlbericus" in 3 documents relating to Hatfield Priory. Meanwhile Aubreyrefused to return to his wife; and finally her father, the Constable ofBourbourg, arranged a divorce, with the consent of Aubrey, who thusceased to be Count of Guisnes, within the years 1144-46. EvidentlyStephen did not recognise his Earldom, for in 1150 Aubrey attested aroyal charter at Winchester without the style of comes. A rapprochementwith Stephen was probably connected with Aubrey's 2nd marriage, for theKing and Queen gave the bride the manor of Ickleton (Cambs) in freemarriage; and on 3 May 1152 Queen Maud died at the Earl's castle ofHedingham. In the winter of 1152-53 he was with Stephen, who now appearsto have recognised him as Earl, for at the siege of Wallingford heattested a royal charter as Earl Aubrey, and on 6 November 1153 atWestminster he attested the treaty between Stephen and Henry with thesame Style. After the accession of Henry II he paid 500 marks for havingthe chamberlainship which his father held; and early in 1156 (2-10January) the King granted him as Earl Aubrey the third penny of the pleasof Oxfordshire in order that he might be Earl thereof. As Earl Aubrey heattested royal charters at Newcastle and Colchester in 1158 and at LeMans probably about Christmas 1160; but after 1160 his name does notappear as a witness to royal charters for some 16 years. At the inquestof 1166 his return showed that 30 tenants held between them 29 fees underAubrey. From about 1176 his name again appears as a witness to charters.In 1184 or 1185 he obtained the wardship of Isabel, daughter and heir ofWalter de Bolebec. He was present at the Coronation of Richard I on 3September 1189; and in 1194 he was called on to pay £30 2s. 6d. towardsthe King's ransom. Aubrey probably founded the priories of Ickleton andCastle Hedingharn. He confirrned his father's foundation of Hatfield andgift to Colchester, and his mother's grant to St. Osyth; and he madegifts to St. Edmund and very many benefactions to Colne. He alsoconfirmed a gift to Clerkenwell by Maud de Ros, daughter of Richard deCanville.

He married, 1stly, in or before 1139, Beatrice (born after 1120),daughter of Henry, Constable of Bourbourg, by his 1st wlfe Sibyl (usuallycalled Rose), daughter and in her issue sole heir of Manasses, COUNT OFGUISNES, by Emma, daughter and coheir of William, vicomte of Arques andLord of Folkestone, which marriage was dissolved in or before 1146, andBeatrice married, 2ndly, Baldwin, Lord of Ardres, but died s.p., a fewdays later, and was buried in the Abbey of La Capelle. Aubrey m., 2ndly,in or before 1152, Eufeme, said to be daughter of William DE CAUNTELO.She died s.p.m., almost certainly s.p., in 1153 or 1154, and was buriedat Colne. He married, 3rdly, in 1162 or 1163, Agnes, daughter of Henry DEESSEX, Lord of Rayleigh and Haughley, by his wife Cicely. This child, whowas born in 1151 or 1152, the Earl tried to repudiate within a year; butshe appealed from the Bishop of London's court to Rome, and in 1171 or1172 Alexander III directed the Bishop to order him to take his wifeback. She was living with him in 1191, and survived her husband. Aubreydied 26 December 1194, and was buried at Colne. Agnes was buried by hisside. [CP X:199-207, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
