Ralph de Wayer, Guader, or de Waet, was constituted by William the Conqueror, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk. Some of our historians affirm that this nobleman was an Englishman by birth, born in Norfolk, but others, that he was a native of Brittany, which is the more probable as hewas the owner of the castle of Guader, in that province. Of this earlthere is nothing memorable beyond his conspiracy against his royal master, whom he sought to destroy or expel, and to that end drew into his plans Roger, Earl of Hereford, Waltheof, the great Earl of Northumberland, and other persons of distinction. He m. Emma, sister of the Earl of Hereford, and he took the opportunity of his wedding day to disclose to the conspirators, when they were elated with wine, the whole of his projects. As soon, however, as they had recovered the effect ofinebriation, the greater number refused to participate and the Earl of Hereford alone joined him in openly resorting to arms. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, however, by those stout and warlike prelates, Odo, bishop of Bayeux, and Geffrey, bishop of Worcester. The Earl of Norfolk fled into Brittany, leaving his followers to their fate in their encampment at Cambridge; of those, many were put to the sword and more were taken prisoner. The castle of Norwich was subsequently besieged and his countess obliged to surrender, but she was suffered to go beyond sea. In the end, this turbulent person assumed the cross andjoined an expedition to Jerusalem against the Turks under Robert Curthose where he afterwards became a pilgrim and died a great penitent. By the treason of alph de Wayer, his earldom became forfeited. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 571, Wayer, or Guader, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk]

Birth

He was probably born before 1040, as not later than 1060 he attested, in company with other Bretons, a notification at Angers as Ralph son of Ralph the Englishman, most probably in 1042 in Hereford.

[edit] Inheritances

He inherited the great Breton barony of Gael, which comprised more than forty parishes. In England, whether by inheritance or by grant from the Crown, he held large estates in Norfolk, as well as property in Suffolk, Essex, Hertford, and possibly other counties. In some of these estates he certainly succeeded his father, but it is doubtful whether he obtained the Earldom immediately on his father’s death.

[edit] Up to 1074

* In 1065 he was with Conan II, Duke of Brittany when he besieged Thiwallon, Lord of Dol, in the castle of Combour.
* In 1066 he fought on the Norman side at the Battle of Hastings.
* In February or March 1068 he was present at William the Conqueror’s court with his father.
* In 1069 he routed a force of Norsemen which had invaded Norfolk and occupied Norwich. It may been in recognition of this exploit (or of services rendered at Hastings) that the Conqueror created him Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, or the East Angles, the Earldom being also styled, from its capital, of Norwich.
* It is presumably this Ralph who, on 13 April 1069 was with the King at Winchester and witnessed, as Earl Ralph, a diploma in favour of St.Denis of Paris and in the same year witnessed, as Earl Ralph, a grant in favour of the Bishop of Essex.
* 1074- It is possible that Ralph defended Dol when the Conqueror besieged it unsuccessfully in 1074.

Ralph built a church in Norwich, in the new town, and give it to his chaplains; but there is not record of religious benefactions by him in Brittany.

[edit] Marriage and revolt

Main article: Revolt of the Earls

He married, before 1080, Emma, daughter of William Fitzosbern, 1st Earl of Hereford and Adelissa de Tosny (Toeni).

In 1075 the king's refusal to sanction this marriage caused a revolt in his absence by Ralph, his new brother-in-law Roger de Breteuil, 2nd Earl of Hereford and Waltheof, 1st Earl of Northumberland. The revolt was plagued by disaster. Waltheof lost heart and confessed the conspiracy to Lanfranc, who urged Earl Roger to return to his allegiance, and finally excommunicated him and his adherents - Waltheof was later executed by William. Ralph encountered a much superior force under the warrior bishops Odo of Bayeux and Geoffrey de Montbray (the latter ordered that all rebels should have their right foot cut off!) near Cambridge and retreated hurriedly to Norwich, hotly pursued by the royal army. Leaving his wife to defend Norwich Castle, he sailed for Denmark in search of help, and eventually returned to England with a fleet of 200 ships under Cnut and Hakon, which failed to do anything effective.

Meanwhile the Countess held out in Norwich until she obtained terms for herself and her followers, who were deprived of their lands, but were allowed forty days to leave the realm. Thereupon the Countess retired to her estate in Brittany, where she was rejoined by her husband. Ralph was deprived of all his lands and of his Earldom.

[edit] Baron of Britanny

For the rest of his life he remained a great baron of Brittany, with no interests in England. In 1076, having plotted against Duke Hoel of Brittany, he was besieged at Dol, and the Conqueror came to Hoel's aid; but Ralph finally made his peace.

In 1089 he attested the judgment in a dispute between the monks of Redon, Ille-et-Vilaine and the chaplains of the Duke of Brittany. He also attested a charter of Alan IV, Duke of Brittany, in favour of St.Georges at Rennes (1084-1096). The Conqueror being dead, Ralph appears in Normandy c.1093 as a witness in the record of a suit between the abbots of Lonlay and St.Florent. There is, however, no record of religious benefactions by him in Brittany.

[edit] Crusade

In 1096, accompanied by his wife and under Robert Curthose, he went on Crusade. He was one of the Breton leaders who took part in the siege of Nicaea, after which he joined Bohemund I of Antioch’s division of the army.

Both Ralph and his wife Emma died on the road to Palestine in the course of the Crusade.

Ralph de Guader (otherwise Radulf Waders or Ralph Wader) (before 1042-c.1096) was the Earl of East Anglia (Norfolk and Suffolk) and Lord of Gaël and Montfort (Seigneur de Gaël et Montfort).

Marriage and Revolt

He married, in or before 1075, Emma, daughter of William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford and Alice or Adelise (or Adelissa), daughter of Roger I of Tosny.

In 1075 the king's refusal to sanction this marriage caused a revolt in his absence by Ralph, his new brother-in-law Roger de Breteuil, 2nd Earl of Hereford and Waltheof, 1st Earl of Northumberland.

Thereupon the Countess retired to her estate in Brittany, where she was rejoined by her husband. Ralph was deprived of all his lands and of his Earldom.

At the time of his revolt, he was a land-holder in Whaddon, Cambridgeshire. This is according to the Domesday Book, which uses the name of Radulf[us] Waders.

Ralph the Staller (or Radulf stalre (meaning Ralph the Constable), otherwise Ralph the Englishman) (c. 1011-1068), Earl of Norfolk was a landowner in both Anglo-Saxon and post-Conquest England.

Suffolk, other creations: Shortly after the Norman Conquest and Earldom conbining Norfolk and Suffolk was conferred on one Ralph the Staller [Staller was a functionary of some sort in the Saxon Royal Court]. At that time, and seemingly for nearly three centuries afterwards, no distinction was made between Norfolk and Suffolk for the purpose of conferring titles based on county names, the two areas being conflated as the land of the East Angles. In any case, with Ralph's death a few years after he was created Earl the title apparently passed back into the possession of the Crown, though within another year it seems to have been conferred on Ralph's son, called Ralph de Gael from a fief he held in Britanny. The second Ralph, Earl of this somewhat shadowy creation, rebelled against William I (The Conqueror) in 1075 and was stripped of his titles and lands. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2761]

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

Ralph was also called Ralph "Gauder"; he was 1st Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk.

Ralph was Breton on his mother's side, and English on his father's (at least his father was born in England).

He fought on William the Conqueror's side at Hastings, in the company of Nigel of the Cotentin, on 14 October 1066.

Ralph succeeded his father, Ralph the Staller, to the earldom of East Anglia circa 1069. He was also Lord of Gaël (Guader) in Brittany. Ralph was created Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk by William the Conqueror in 1073.

Ralph married Emma of Hereford, daughter of William FitzOsbern, seigner de Bréteuil, Earl of Hereford and Adelise de Tosny, in 1075, in Exning, Suffolk.

Ralph entered into a conspiracy against King William with his brother-in-law, Roger, 2nd Earl of Hereford, in 1075. The conspiracy failed, and Ralph forfeited his titles in 1078. He escaped to Brittany circa 1078. He died in 1099 at Outremer in the Holy Land during the First Crusade.
