John de Ros Bishop of Carlisle
( - 1332)
John de Ros Bishop of Carlisle was the son of Sir Robert de Ros 1st Baron and Isabel D'Aubigne.
John Ravilious wrote on the Medieval Mailing list: The statement in the IPM of 1491 identifying John de Ros as 'son of Robert Roos' appears to be in error. In a prior post, I noted that John de Ros may well have been the brother, not the son of Sir Robert de Ros (d. 1285). Two reasons support that suggestion:
1. The fine dated 1280 provides for reversion of the manors to John de Ros, 'with remainders to Alexander, John's brother...' Sir Robert de Ros (d. 1285) had no known son Alexander; however, he did have younger brothers John and Alexander, the latter of whom was identified in a charter of Sir Robert, enfeoffing Thomas de Werke, chaplain, in certain lands in Helmsley, dated 1264x1285. This charter was witnessed by his brothers Sir Peter, Sir William, Sir Alexander and Sir Herbert ("Hiis testibus: Dominis Petro de Ros, Willelmo de Ros, Alexandro de Ros, Herberto de Ros, militibus et fratribus..")[3]
2. The chronology of the generations does not readily support the filiation in the 1491 IPM (and in CP XI:8). Sir William de Ros, eldest son and heir of Sir Robert, was born 1255 or before (he was aged 30 and more at his father's death), and his mother Isabel de Aubigny was born ca. 1233. It is not reasonable to place Lucy de Ros, widow of Henry de Audley b. 1251, d. 1276 or before) and married 2ndly in 1280 or before to William de Ryther, as the daughter of a man (son of Sir Robert de Ros and Isabel de Aubigny) who would himself likely have been born 1255 or later, and very possibly after 1260.
If in fact Lucy was the daughter of John de Ros, he was therefore certainly the brother, not son, of Sir Robert. Lucy his daughter would therefore have been the namesake of her paternal grandmother, Lucy (daughter of Piers fitz Herbert of Blaen Llyfni).
The identification of Lucy, wife of (1) Henry de Audley and (2) Sir William de Ryther as daughter of John de Ros is not proven, but is probable based on the evidence in hand. The entail of Gildehusdale and the other lands on 'the heirs of Lucy's body', with reversion to John de Ros and remainder to his brother Alexander, is indicative of a family transaction.
Fine dated 1280: 28. York. Morrow of Hil. 8 Edw I. Before the same. Between John, son of Robert de Ros of Hamelak, quer., and William de Rither, deforc. [seller], of the manors of Rither, Schardecroft, Gyldhusum' and the advowson of Rither church. Covenant. John's right as of William's gift. John and his heirs to hold of the chief lords. William and his heirs to warrant. For a sore sparrowhawk.
This feoffment was the first stage of a settlement. The second fine as given by John took place very soon after, on February 2 1280.
54. York. Morrow of Cand. Before the same. Between William de Ryther, quer., and John de Ros, deforc., [seller] of the manors of Ryther, Scarthecroft and Gildehus' with the advowson of Ryther church. Covenant. John's right. William and Lucy his wife and the heirs of Lucy's body to hold of the chief lords with remainder to William and reversion after William's death to John and the heirs of his body with remainders to Alexander, John's brother, and the heirs of his body and to William's next heirs.
Rosie Bevan wrote: The two fines had a threefold purpose - feoffment, marriage jointure, and protection against wardship of the lands in case of a minority.
That Gildersdale was of the fee of Ros at the time of the settlement, there is no question - it is listed in Feudal Aids with Robert's holding as chief lord given in the past tense, meaning its tenure was recorded just after his decease in 1285. Its two carucates had descended to the Ros family via the Trussebuts, with William de Ros inheriting it on the death of his aunt Agatha in 1247. It is possible that John had been enfeoffed in this manor, but there are indications that Rithers were tenants long before it passed into Ros posession, and the marriage settlement shows that it was unlikely to have been Lucy's maritagium.
The settlement of the Ryther lands on Lucy and her issue is characteristic of a jointure, an increasingly preferred method of marrying off daughters without reducing the family estate by the end of the thirteenth century. A sum of money passed hands as the bride's marriage portion, and in return there was a settlement of the groom's lands on her for life. The jointure also protected the issue of the marriage from claims by other children of the husband from earlier or later marriages. Most importantly if the husband died leaving a widow and underage children, the lord did not have wardship of that land.
John de Ros must have been related to Lucy in some way. Usually the principals of a marriage jointure were the father or brother providing dowry, but in this case it is possible that being a secondary marriage it was only a small one, and with Lucy's youth, William Rither was more interested in her Audley dower. Chronology goes against Lucy being daughter of John, but she may certainly have been a younger daughter of Robert de Ros and Isabel D'Aubigny who were married around 1244. We would expect them to have had a daughter called Lucy, named after Robert's mother. At a guess it is possible that John and Alexander were clerics and did not expect to leave heirs. The reversion to them on the death of William in the event of lack of heirs would represent a refund of the marriage portion, with the lands ultimately passing to William's right heirs after their death.
As it happens, the Ryther lands did pass down William's direct line, so the fine clearly served its primary intent. Notably, while Scarcroft and Ryther descended with his heirs, there is no mention of Gildersdale in the 1491 inquisition for Robert Ryther, so it appears to have passed out of the family in the intervening 211 years.

Lucy de Ros
(circa 1270 - )
Lucy de Ros was born circa 1270 in Helmsley, Yorkshire. Complete Peerage states, after a correction in Vol XIV, that Lucy was 'da. of John de Ros, son of Robert de Ros of Helmsley'.

Beauchamp in Beds (Round, in F.C.H. Beds, vol. i, P. 201). There seems no reason to connect Ros of Helmsley with these or later persons of the name in Kent and Essex),

Chris Phillips wrote in response to Douglas Richardson who recommended Hedley's Northumberland Families (1968), pp. 224-229: The problem is that there is that one piece of evidence cited by MichaelAnne - the IPM mentioning a Christiana as widow of "Robert de Ros, son of Robert de Ros of Werk" - which cannot be reconciled with Hedley's solution. There is also an associated entry on the fine roll (Cal. Fine Rolls i 32; cited by Complete Peerage) that says the same thing.
This is why several different reconstructions of the family have been published - one in Complete Peerage, which makes Christine Bertram the wife of Robert, the father of Robert the husband of Margaret, and another in History of Northumberland, which makes her the wife of Robert, the son of Robert and Margaret. Then there is Hedley, who makes her the wife of William, the brother of Robert the husband of Margaret.
The unfortunate thing is that Hedley doesn't comment on the problematic inquisition at all, so it's not clear whether he was even aware of the difficulty.
I think on the whole Hedley's solution does make most sense, and the references to a Christiana widow of Robert probably have to be set aside as an error. But it would be nice to have some definite proof that the Robert of this IPM was the husband of Margaret.

Sir Robert de Ros 1st Baron

Sir Robert de Ros 1st Baron was born circa 1213. He was the son of Sir William de Ros and Lucy FitzPiers.
Sir Robert de Ros 1st Baron married Isabel D'Aubigne, daughter of William D'Aubigne Brito IV and Albreda or Isabel Biseth, between 5 June 1243 and 17 May 1244.

In the same year, he and his lady Isabel had a controversy with the Prior and Convent of Belvoir, relative to the right of presentation to the Church of Redmile (near Bottesford), which was amicably compromised by their relinquishing the patronage to the convent, for a certain compensation. In 1261 he obtained from the king the grant of a weekly market, to be held at Belvoir, on Tuesday; and of an annual fair on the feast of St John the Baptist, to continue for three days. In 1264, he was one of the insurgent barons who defeated Henry III at the battle of Lewes, and took him and the prince prisoner, confining them in Hungerford Castle.

Thomas de Ros 10th Baron
(9 September 1427 - 17 May 1464)
Thomas de Ros 10th Baron was born on 9 September 1427. He was the eldest son of Thomas de Ros, 9th Baron de Ros and Eleanor Beauchamp. His mother was daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick and his first wife Elizabeth Berkeley. Eleanor was an older half-sister of Henry de Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick and Anne Neville, Countess of Warwick.
Thomas himself was an older maternal half-brother to Henry Beaufort, 3rd Duke of Somerset and Edmund Beaufort, 4th Duke of Somerset.
As a loyal supporter of King Henry VI of England, de Ros was attainted in Parliament on November 4, 1461. He was later beheaded at Newcastle for treason, and the Ros lands were confiscated. Belvoir Castle was given to Lord Hastings.
In February 1461, he had been one of the knights made at the second Battle of St Albans by Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales. Thomas had inherited the barony of de Ros when he was barely four years old. His great uncle, Sir Robert Ros, knight, was deputed to perform the office of chamberlain to Archbishop Stafford, on the day of his installation at Canterbury; this office belonged to the Lord Ros, from his tenure of the manor of Hethfield, in Kent. The fee for this service was the furniture of the room, and the basin and towel. The manor, and tenure on which it was held, came to the Ros family, from the marriage of an ancestor with Margaret Badlesmere.
Thomas Lord Ros was only eighteen years of age when put by the king into full possession of his father's estates. Having been faithful to Henry VI throughout his reign, he was rewarded with certain commercial privileges, consisting, chiefly, in an entire remission of the customary duties on exported wool. In 1456, he had permission to go on a pilgrimage, and in 1460, the king settled on him, as in part, a recompense for the expenses and losses incurred in his service, an annuity of £40, arising out of certain manors forfeited by the Earl of Salisbury. In the same year, being with king at York when news arrived of the Lancastrian defeat at the Battle of Towton, he accompanied Henry to Berwick.
Thomas was married to Philippa de Tibetot, the sister of John Tiptoft, 1st Earl of Worcester. Their children were:
John de Ros
Edmund de Ros, 11th Baron de Ros
Eleanor de Ros
Isabel de Ros
Joan de Ros
Margaret de Ros. He was the son of Thomas de Ros 9th Baron.
