Chapter 17. OTHER UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY
This document sets out English noble families in the post-conquest period who were granted no title of nobility, at least not before the late 13th century, whose names start from the letter T to Z. It represents a selection of these families, chosen only because they were the ones for whom records were found in the primary sources so far consulted. The scope of this document is being expanded as further sources are studied. It should be emphasised that the reconstructions in this document do not generally include outlines from secondary sources. The objective is to expand the reconstructions based only on primary sources, to avoid perpetuating errors.
Please see the introduction to the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A - C for more general background information on these families.
1. IVO Taillebois (-[1094/95], bur Spalding). "…Ivo Taillebois, Robert de Oilli" witnessed the spurious charter, purportedly dated 25 Dec [1071/75], under which William I King of England donated Chelsea to the monks of Westminster[1]. "…Ivonem Taillebois…" witnessed the charter under which William I King of England confirmed the rights of Ely abbey[2]. “Ivo Taleboys” donated Spalding Monastery to the church of Saint-Nicholas Anjou, for “conjugis suæ Luciæ et antecessorum Toraldi…uxoris eius” by undated charter[3]. “Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meæ Luciæ”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…”[4]. A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of land “in Claxtuna et ecclesiam de Kirkby-Stephen…” by “Ivo Taillebois”[5]. “…Ivonis de Taliber…” witnessed the charter dated Sep 1093 under which William II King of England donated property to Lincoln cathedral[6]. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the death of "Ivo Taillebois who had always been a most bitter enemy to Croyland" and his burial by "his wife the lady Lucia" in the priory of Spalding[7]. m firstly --- Bardolf, daughter of WILLIAM Bardolf & his wife ---. A book of fees records that “Ivo de Tailbois” held “baroniam de Hephall cum uxore sua…filia Will de Bardulf”, previously held by the latter, granted by William I King of England[8]. m secondly as her first husband, LUCY, daughter of --- (-1138, bur Spalding). The Chronicon Angliæ Petriburgense records "Luciæ comitissæ…filiæ Algari comitis Leicestriæ" as husband of "Ivo Tailbois comes Andegavensis, dominus Spaldingiæ et totius Hollandiæ" and "Toraldus avunculus eiusdem Luciæ"[9]. No other source has been yet been identified which names one of the parents of Lucy. If the source is accurate (and it is a later source), it is not known whether the relationship with Thorold was through Lucy´s father or mother, although if "avunculus" is used in its strict sense (which is not beyond doubt) Thorold was her maternal uncle. A manuscript recording the foundation of Spalding monastery records that “Yvo Talboys” married "Thoroldo…hærede Lucia" who, after the death of Ivo, married (in turn) "Rogerum filium Geroldi" and "comitem Cestriæ Ranulphum"[10]. “Ivo Taleboys” donated Spalding Monastery to the church of Saint-Nicholas Anjou, for “conjugis suæ Luciæ et antecessorum Toraldi…uxoris eius” by undated charter[11]. She married secondly (after 1094) Roger FitzGerold. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that "his wife the lady Lucia" married "Roger de Romar the son of Gerald de Romar" when "hardly had one month elapsed after the death" of her first husband "Ivo Taillebois"[12]. She married thirdly (1098) Ranulf "Meschin" Vicomte du Bessin. Ivo & his first wife had one child:
a) BEATRIX . “Ribaldus frater comitis” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “Alani comitis et Beatricis uxoris meæ”, by undated charter[13]. Her origin is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meæ Luciæ”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…”[14]. m RIBALD, illegitimate son of EUDES de Bretagne Comte de Penthièvre & his mistress ---.
Ivo & his second wife had one child:
b) daughter (-before [1094/95]). Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that the "only daughter" of "Ivo Taillebois…[and] his wife the lady Lucia" married "a husband of noble rank" but "died before her father"[15]. m ---. [same person as…? daughter . Domesday Descendants suggests that the wife of Eldred who was the daughter of Ivo Taillebois, adding that their grandson William de Lancaster held the barony of Kendal which was previously held by Ivo Taillebois[16]. This is contradicted by an undated manuscript relating to Cokersand Abbey, Lancashire which names “Elthredum” as son of ”Ivo Tailbot”[17], although this is improbable as no other primary sources indicate that Ivo had sons. If Domesday Descendants is correct, it is possible that Eldred´s wife was Ivo´s unnamed daughter by his second marriage. m ELDRED, son of ---.]
2. [RALPH Taillebois . “Ivo Talliebois” donated property to St Mary, York, for the soul of “uxoris meæ Luciæ”, by undated charter witnessed by “Lucia uxore mea, Ribaldo genero meo, Radulpho Taillebois…”[18]. The precise relationship between Ivo Taillebois and Ralph Taillebois is not known, but the positioning of his name in this charter directly after Ivo´s son-in-law suggests that it was close and that maybe they were brothers.]

1. GUILLAUME Taillebois . "Guillaume Taillebois" donated land "à Secqueville" to the abbey of Ardennes, Calvados, for his soul and that of "son frère Robert", by undated charter[19].

The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "VI Non Oct" of "Constantia de Togné soror Guillelmi de Bellomonte episcopi nostri et mater Richardi de Togné thesaurarius nostri"[114].
Roger [IV] & his wife had [four] children:
1. RAOUL [VI] de Tosny of Castle Maud, Radnorshire (-[29 Sep 1239]). The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land from the king in Hertfordshire, dated to [1204/12]: "Radulfus de Tony" held land "in Flamstede"[115]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Radulfus de Toany" holding property "Flamstede" in Essex, and four knights´ fees and parts "in Estham, Rudmerlega, La Bereve, Warneslega, La More, Scravelega, Sendeslega" in Worcestershire in [1210/12][116].

1. ALURED . m ---. The name of Alured´s wife is not known. Alured & his wife had one child:
a) JUHEL de Totnes (-[1099/1129]). [“…Whali [Rahel?] filii Aluredi…” witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England granted land at Covenham to the church of St Calais[124]. It appears likely that "Whali" is a transcription error for "Juheli".] His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Joelis filii Aluredi” founded Barnstaple Priory[125]. His name suggests Breton origin. “Juhellus filius Aluredi” founded Totness Priory by undated charter, dated to the reign of William II King of England[126]. An undated charter records that King William II expelled “Juhello de Totenesio" from "hæreditatem eius" and granted it to "Rogerio de Novant” founded Totness Priory by undated charter, dated to the reign of William II King of England[127]. m --- de Picquigny, daughter of ---. A "sœur de Guermond de Picquigny, mariée en Angleterre avec un riche seigneur nommé Joelle de Totenes" is referred to in the De Miraculis sanctæ Mariæ Laudunensis[128]. Juhel & his wife had [three] children:
i) ALURED (-after 1136). The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Alur fil Johel" accounting for "terre patris sui" in Devonshire[129]. The Gesta Stephani Regis records that "Aluredo filio Joelis" held out against the king, after helping his friend Baldwin de Reviers at the siege of Exeter, following the surrender of most of his followers, dated to [1136][130].
ii) ELEANOR . "Philippus de Brausia" confirmed the donations to the church of Saints Gervais et Protais de Briouze, by "pater eius Guillemus de Brausia", by charter dated 5 Jan [1096], with the consent of "uxor eius Aanor et Guillelmus filius suus"[131]. Her parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Willielmus de Braosa” confirmed donations to Barnstaple Priory by "Johelis avi sui" by undated charter[132]. m PHILIP [I] de Briouse, son of GUILLAUME [I] de Briouse & his wife --- (-[1131/39]).
iii) [daughter . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. It is probably speculative, designed to explain how the Tracy family held part of the honour of Barnstaple (the other part of which was in the hands of the Briouse family, inherited through Juhel de Totnes´s recorded daughter Eleanor): the 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Oliverus de Traci…pro parte sua de honore de Berdestapl" in Devonshire[133]. Domesday Descendants comments that the honour of Barnstaple "probably came to [Henry de Tracy] by grant of King Stephen, against whom Alfred [fitz Juhel] had fought in the previous year, though the possibility that his wife was a sister of Alfred cannot be excluded"[134]. Stapleton is more specific, stating that Oliver de Tracy held "a moiety of the Honour of Barnstaple…through the grant of King Stephen to his father Henry de Tracy, but which grant had been made to the prejudice of the heir of the former possessor Joel son of Alured, who was the grandfather of William de Briouze"[135]. m --- de Tracy, son of ---.]
The Tracy family provides yet another example of bogus descents which were fabricated in later centuries, presumably to provide more illustrious ancestors for contemporary family members. The result for the present-day is considerable confusion and inaccurate information in many published secondary sources. The following is an attempt at finding a way through the puzzle, but I would not claim that it provides the definitive answer to all the difficulties.
1. WILLIAM de Tracy (-after 1110). “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue”[136]. m ROHESE, daughter of --- (-after 1110). “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue”[137]. William & his wife had two children:

b) HENRY de Tracy of Barnstaple (-[1164/65]). “William de Tracy" donated property to Mont Saint-Michel on becoming a monk there by charter dated 1110, signed by "…Guillelmi de Traceio, Rohes[ie] uxoris sue, Turgisi filii sui, Henrici filii sui, Gieve sororis sue”[139]. “Henricus de Traci…cum filio meo Olivero” donated property to Barnstaple Priory by charter 1146[140]. The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records "Oliverus de Traci" owing ".D. m p parte sua de Honore de Barnestapl" in Devonshire, maybe indicating the recent death of his father[141]. m firstly HAWISE, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by an undated charter which confirms that her grandson "domini Henrici de Tracy" requested a daily mass at Pilton St James, for the souls of "Henrici de Traci avi sui et Oliveri patris sui et Hawysiæ avæ suæ"[142]. m secondly (after [1130/35]) as her second husband, CECILY de Rumilly, widow of WILLIAM FitzRanulf Meschin, daughter and heiress of ROBERT de Rumilly [Romilly] of Skipton & his wife ---. Domesday Descendants notes that Cecily de Rumilly married as her second husband "Henry de Tracy of Barnstaple", without citing the corresponding primary source, but adds that "there is no evidence to suggest that she was the mother of Henry de Tracy´s heir Oliver"[143]. Henry & his first wife had one child:
i) OLIVER de Tracy of Barnstaple (-after 1203). “Henricus de Traci…cum filio meo Olivero” donated property to Barnstaple Priory by charter 1146[144]. The 1164/65 Pipe Roll records "Oliverus de Traci" owing ".D. m p parte sua de Honore de Barnestapl" in Devonshire, maybe indicating the recent death of his father[145]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Oliver de Tracy xvii l x s" in Devonshire in [1167/68][146]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Oliverus de Tracieio" with one knight "de vicecomitatu de Cerenciis" and four knights in his own service[147]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Oliverus de Traci…pro parte sua de honore de Berdestapl" in Devonshire[148]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], names "Olyver de Tracy" among those granted delay in payment "per brevia" in Devonshire[149]. The Feet of Fines records an agreement 28 Jan 1196 settling a claim by "Will de Breosa" against "Oliver de Traci" for "medietate honoris de Bordestapl", tracing the alienations made by "predicto Olivero vel Henrico patre suo"[150]. "…Will de Traceio, Oliv de Traceio" both paid rent on land in Normandy, dated 1198[151]. "Oliver de Traci" paid a fine for "heritanda baroñ Willi de Traci" in Devonshire, dated [1199/1200][152].

"Lucia de Moon […terre de Moon]…Will de Traceio…versus Oliv de Traceio" all paid rent in "Ballia Constancien" in Normandy, dated 1203[154]. [m firstly ---. No primary source has yet been identified which confirms this supposed first marriage. However, if Eva was his known wife, and she had children by her first marriage who had not reached the age of majority by [1218/19] (see below), it is unlikely that she was the only wife of Oliver who was already old enough in 1146 to suscribe a charter with his father.] m [as her second husband, EVA, widow of THOMAS de London], daughter of [FULK FitzWarin [II] & his wife Hawise de Dinan] (-after [Jun] 1222). The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings, dated 1219, which includes "Eva de Trascey" holding land "in Esgarestona…in hundredo de Launburn" in Berkshire and "Bovy" in Devonshire[155]. The parentage of Eva, and her relationship to the main Tracy family shown above, has not been traced. She could have been the widow of Oliver de Tracy. The king ordered the sheriff of Berkshire to "take into the king´s hands" the lands of "Fulk fitz Warin and Eva de Tracy and her sister on account of the son and heir of Thomas de London, who they detain from the king", dated to [1218/19][156]. This document suggests that Eva was closely related to Fulk FitzWarin [III], maybe his sister. Her first marriage is confirmed by an order to the sheriff of Devon to take "the daughter and heiress of Thomas of London [if] found in his bailiwick" and "if she has been abducted out of the bailiwick" to confiscate the lands of "Eva de Tracy her mother", dated to [1218/19][157].

(a) HENRY de Tracy . An undated charter confirms that "domini Henrici de Tracy" requested a daily mass at Pilton St James, for the souls of "Henrici de Traci avi sui et Oliveri patris sui et Hawysiæ avæ suæ"[161]. "Henr de Trascy" is named among the guarantors for a pledge of "Roberti de Ferariis" for a fine for "hnda fil Willelmi de Boclaund cum hereditate sua", dated [Oct] 1216[162]. An order dated 2 Apr 1219 records "Henry de Tracy" repaying part of a debt[163]. m --- [de la Mare], daughter of ---. The name of Henry´s wife is not known. Henry & his wife had one child:
(1) HENRY de Tracy ([May] [1237/38]-). A writ dated 10 Jan "33 Hen III", after the death of "Gunnora de la Mare" names "Henry, son of Henry Tracy her uncle, aged 13 at Whitsunday, 35 Hen III, and a son of Henry de la Mare, whose name is unknown, aged 15, are variously stated to be her heir" and "Elveiscot alias Elfeiscot, Alfiscot [Oxford]…Winterburne [Wiltshire]"[164].

Turgise [I] & his wife had [three] children:
1. [WILLIAM de Tracy (-[1172/1200]). The parentage of William de Tracy has not been confirmed beyond doubt.

A charter dated to [1154/87] records that “W[illiam] de Traceio" built a house for lepers "at Coismas” but assigned its revenues to "Alan the clerk brother to the said W[illiam]"[170]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Willelmus de Tracy" held one knight´s fee from the bishop of Exeter in Devon[171].

a) HUGH de Couterne (-after May 1201). "Hugo de Corterua" confirmed the donation made by "dominus Willermus de Traci avunculus meus", before the murder of the archbishop of Canterbury, to "Alano de Traci clerico" by charter dated to [1180], witnessed by "Olivero de Traci…"[189].

Round suggests that "filia eius" in this passage is an error for "neptis eius", as Gunnor was the senior heiress of her grandmother as only daughter of the latter´s second surviving son, and pointing out that "Durandus de Osteilli" paid scutage in Essex/Hertfordshire of £15/3/4 in the Pipe Roll 1190, equivalent to the 30 and one third knights´ fees on which the barony of Valoignes paid had paid in 1166, and on which "Gunnore de Valoniis" paid in 1194[304].
