Notities over Benedict I Gernet

Benedict first married Mabel Fitzurse, in about 1170. She was born about 1140 in Northamptonshire. She was the daughter of Richard Fitzurse and Maud de Boulers [Bollers]. Richard was also the father of Reginald Fitzurse, who infamously murdered Thomas Becket. Maud was the daughter of Baldwin de Bollers, of Montgomery castle, and Sibyl de Falaise. Baldwin was a member of the great de Aubigny/Mowbray family. Benedict and Maud's children must have included at least the eldest, William and Roger, since Roger made a claim on the Honor of Montgomery based on his connection to Hamon de Bouler via Mabel Fitzurse."

"Some sources claim that Mabel died circa 1205, but I think this assumption is based solely on Benedict's death at around that time. I believe it more likely that she died before then. Benedict did apparently marry twice. Footnote. "Benedict [Adam's son and heir] married Cecily, daughter of Roger de Hutton, of Hutton in Leyland Hundred . . ." - from The Great Inquest of Service, A.D. 1212, page 43-44, "Lancashire Inquests, Extents, and Feudal Aids ..." by William Farrer Cecily was dower holder of lands in Fishwick from her father Roger de Hutton."

Research Notes

By the way this geni profile of Master Forester Benedict Gernet mentions Benedict son of Adam in the narrative, but has his father as Richard. Unsure which work it's citing.

"• Records and Notes. Between 1189 and 1206, a grant was made by Benedict, son of Adam Gernet, to the abbey and monks of St. Mary of Furness, of four acres of meadow in Nithinghou given by his father to the said monks, paying one pound of wax on Easter day to the church of Halton. [Annual Report of the Deputy Keeper of Public Records, p. 167]"

"When the Lancashire forest was formed, Speke became part of the fee attached to the chief forestership held by the Gernet family and their descendants the Dacres. (fn. 5) The interest of the master foresters in Speke was, however, merely that of superior lord after Roger Gernet, living in 1170, had granted the manor to Richard de Molyneux of Sefton in free marriage. (fn. 6)".[1]

Source for unplaced Roger Gernet (is it Garnet-28?) "In 1212 Roger Gernet was master forester; and at the inquest taken after his death it was found that 'in the vill of Speke he held 2 plough-lands of William earl of Ferrers'; Lancs. Inq. and Extents (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), 43, 188. In 1324 William de Dacre, who married Joan the daughter and heir of Benedict Gernet, held Speke; Dods. MSS. cxxxi, fol. 33b. In the feodary of 1484 Lord Dacre, as 'next of kin and heir of Roger Gernet,' is called the chief lord; Duchy of Lanc. Misc. cxxx."[2]
