The Saint-Amand
Connection Lines
This page includes the history and lineage of various connecting
lines to the Daspit and Saint-Amand lines. It is substantially taken
from Chapter V of Michael Bergeron's Book with some additions and updates
from my own researches, particularly the section on The Plantagenet Connection.
Michael's book also includes a section on Warwick Castle and numerous pictures
of coats of arms and other drawings. Since my copy of the book is
a copy of a copy for I don't know how many generations, many of the pictures
did not scan very well, consequently were omitted. If better copy
becomes available, I will add as many of the pictures as I can.

master, or whether he was of Saxon or Norman extraction; nor is it clearly

THURSTAN LE DESPENCER. Of this steward, Camden, in
his Remains, relates the following story. "In the time of Henry I it was
the custom of the court, the books, bills, and letters, should be drawn
and signed by servitors in court, concerning their own matters, without
fee. But at this time Thurstan, the king's steward, or Le Despencer, as
they then called him (from whom the family of the Lord Spencer came), exhibited
to the king a complaint against Adam of Yarmouth, clerk of the signet,
for, that he refused to sign, without a fee a bill passed for him. The
king first heard Thurstan commending the old custom at large, and charging
the clerk for exacting somewhat contrary thereunto, for passing his book.
Then the clerk was heard, who briefly said, "I received the book , and
sent unto your steward, desiring only of him to bestow upon me two spice
cakes made for your own mouth; who returned for answer, he would not, and
thereupon I desired to seal his book." The king greatly disliked the steward
for returning this negative, and forthwith made Adam sit down upon the
bench, with the seals and Thurstan's book before him, but compelled the
steward to put of his cloak, to fetch two of his best spiced cakes for
the king's own mouth, to bring them in a fair white napkin, and with low
curtsie to present them to Adam , the clerk. Which being accordingly done,
the king commanded Adam to seal and deliver him his book, and made them
friends, adding this speech-"Officers of the court must gratifle and show
cast of their office, not only one to another, but also to strangers, whensoever
need shall require." Thurstan was survived by his son, Almaric de Spencer.

usher of his chamber, son of Thurstan, and uncle of this Almaric, for his
homage and service, reserving a pair of gilt spurs, or twelve pence, to
be yearly paid for the same into the exchequer. In the 6th of King John
this Almaric paid a fine of 120 marks and one palfry to be exempted from
attending upon the king in an expedition then proposed to be made beyond

THE
DEMISE OF THE DESPENCERS
On the 22nd of the reign of Edward I ( 1293)
, Hugh, Jr. was made governor of Odiham Castle, co. Southampton and the
same year had summons to attend the king at Portsmouth, prepared with horse
and arms for an expedition into Gascony. In two years afterward he was
at the battle of Dunbar, in Scotland, where the English arms triumphed,
and the next year he was one of the commissioners accredited to treat of
peace between the English monarch and the kings of the Romans and of France.
In the 26th and 28th years of Edward (1297 & 1299) he was again engaged
in the wars of Scotland, and was sent by his sovereign, with the Earl of
Lincoln to the papal court, to complain of the Scots, and to entreat that
his holiness would no longer favor them, as they had abused his confidence
by falsehoods. To the very close of King Edward I's reign his lordship
seems to have enjoyed the favor of that great prince, and had summons to
parliament from him from June 23, 1295 to March 14, 1322, but it was after
the accession of Edward's unhappy son, Edward II, that the Spencers attained
that extraordinary eminence, from which, with their feeble-minded master
(the king), they were eventually hurled into the gulph of irretrievable
ruin. In the first years of Edward II's reign, we find the father and son
(Hugh, Sr. and Hugh, Jr.) still engaged in the Scottish wars. In the 14th
year of the king (1320), hearing of great animosities between young Spencer
and Humphrey de Bohun , Earl of Hereford and Essex , and learning that
they were collecting their followers in order to come to open combat, interfered,
and strictly commanded Lord Hereford to forbear. About the same time, a
dispute arising between the Earl of Hereford and John de Moubray regarding
some lands in Wales, Hugh, Jr. seized possession of the estate, and kept
it from both the litigants. This conduct, and similar proceedings on the
part of Hugh, Sr., exciting the indignation of the barons, they formed
a le ague against the favorites, and placing the king's cousin, Thomas
Plantagenet, Earl of Lancaster, at their head, marched, with banners flying
, from Sherbourne to St. Alban's, whence they dispatched the bishops of
Salisbury, Hereford, and Chichester, to the king with a demand that the
Spencers should be banished; to which mission the king, however, giving
an imperious reply in the negative, the irritated nobles continued their
route to London: when Edward, at the instance of the queen, acquiesced;
whereupon the barons summoned a parliament, in which the Spencers were
banished from England; and the sentence was proclaimed in Westminister
Hall. To this decision, Hugh, Sr. submitted and retired; but Hugh, Jr.
lurked in divers places; sometimes on land, and sometimes at sea, and was
fortunate enough to capture, during his exile, two vessels near Sandwich,
laden with merchandise to the value of 40,000 pounds; after which, being
recalled by the king, an army was raised, which encountered and defeated
the baronial forces at Boroughbridge, in Yorkshire. In this action, wherein
numbers were slain, the Earl of Lancaster being taken prisoner, was carried
to his own castle at Pontefract, and there, after a summary trial (the
Hugh, Sr. being one of the judges), beheaded. The Spencers now became more
powerful than ever, and Hugh, Sr. was immediately created Earl of Winchester,
the king loading him with grants of forfeited estates. He was about the
same time constituted warden of the king's forests on the south of Trent.
Hugh, Jr. obtained, like his father, immense grants from the lands forfeited
after the battle of Boroughbridge; but not satisfied with those, and they
were incredibly numerous, he extorted by force whatsoever else he pleased.
Amongst other acts of lawless oppression, it is related that he seized
upon the person of Elizabeth Comyn, a great heiress, the wife of Richard
Talbot, in her house at Kennington, in Surrey, and detained her for twelve
months in prison, until he compelled her to assign to him the manor of
Painswike, in Gloucestershire, and the castle and manor of Goderich, in
the marches of Wales; but this ill-obtained and ill-exercised power was
not formed for permanent endurance, and a brief space only was necessary
to bring it to a termination. The queen and the young prince, who had fled
to France, and had been proclaimed traitors through the influence of the
Spencers, ascertaining the feelings of the people, ventured to return;
and landed at Harwich, with the noblemen and persons of eminence who had
been exiled after the defeat at Boroughbridge, raised the royal standard,
and soon found themselves at the head of a considerable force; when, marching
upon Bristol, where the king and his favorites then were, they were received
in the city with acclamation, and the Hugh, Sr. being seized (although
in his 90th year), was brought in chains before the prince and the barons
and received judgment of death, which was accordingly executed, by hanging
the culprit upon a gallorus in the sight of the king and of his son, upon
St. Dennis's day, in October 1326. It is said by some writers that the
body was hung up with two strong cords for four days, and then cut into
pieces, and given to the dogs. Hugh, Jr., with the king, effected his escape;
but they were both, soon afterwards, taken and delivered to the queen,
when the unfortunate monarch was consigned to Berkeley Castle, where he
was basely murdered in 1327. Hugh, Jr. it appears, was impeached before
parliament, and received sentence "to be drawn upon a hurdle, with trumps
and trumpets, throughout all the city of Hereford", and there to be hanged
and quartered, which sentence was executed on a gallows 50 feet high, upon
St . Andrew' s eve, 1326 (20 Edward II). Thus terminated the careers of
two of the most celebrated royal favorites in the annals of England. The
two Baronies of Spencer and the Earl of Winchester expired with the demise
of these two Spencers.

When Henry obtained earldom is not exactly ascertained

begirt Warwick with a mighty ditch, for the precinct of its walls, and
erected the dates at his own charge, did promote this Henry to the earldom,
and annexed thereto the royalty of the borough, which at that time belonged
to the crown." But though Henry de Newburgh was made Earl of Warwick by
the first Norman sovereign, he was not invested with all the lands attached
to the earldom until the ensuing reign, as we find William Rufus, soon
after his accession to the throne, conferring upon him the whole inheritance
of Turchil de Warwick, a Saxon, who, at the coming of Duke William, ha.
d the reputation of earl; and thenceforth the "bear and ragged staff",
the device of Turchil's family, derived from the chivalrous Guy, Earl of
Warwick, was assumed by the first of the Newburgh dynasty; and it has been
continued ever since as a badge of the successive Earls of Warwick . The
name of this Henry, Earl of Warwick, appears as a witness to the charter
of King Henry I whereby that prince confirmed the laws of Edward the Confessor,
also granted many other immunities to the clergy and laity. Earl Henry
commenced imparking Wedgenock, near his castle of Warwick, following the
example of his sovereign, King Henry, who made the first park that had
ever been in England, at Woodstock. His lordship, who was as memorable
for pious foundations as distinguished for military achievements died in
1123. His lordship married Margaret, daughter of Geffrey, Count de Moreton,

himself to be his brother, Earl William, deceased in the Holy Land, which
occasioned him no little trouble and vexation; so that it is thought by
some, that the grant which he made to Hubert, archbishop of Cantebury,
then chancellor of England, of the advowson of all the prebendaries belonging
to the collegiate church, in Warwick, to hold during his life, was to purchase
his favour in that weighty business." His lordship married first to Margery,

feoffamento" and thirty-five "de novo", upon the occasion of the assessment
in aid of the marriage of the king's daughter, and he appears to have acquired
at this period a considerable degree of royal favor, for we find him not
only re-created Earl of Norfolk, by charter, dated at Northampton, but
by the same instrument obtaining a grant of the office of steward, to hold
in as ample a manner as his father had done in the time of Henry I. Notwithstanding,
however, these and other equally substantial marks of the king 's liberality,
the Earl of Norfolk sided with Robert, Earl of Leicester, in the insurrection
incited by that nobleman in favor of the king's son (whom Henry himself
had crowned), in the 19th of the monarch's reign; but his treason upon
this occasion cost him the surrender of his strongest castles, and a fine
of 1,000 marks. After which he went into the Holy Land with the Earl of
Flanders, and died in 1177. His lordship had married twice; by his first
wife, Julian, daughter of Alberic de Vere, he had a son Roger and by his
2nd, Gundred, he had two sons, Hugh and William.

his lordship obtaining at the same time restitution of some manors, with

In the same year he was made one of the ambassadors from the English monarch
to Philip of France, for obtaining aid towards the recovery of the Holy
Land. Upon the return of King Richard from his captivity, the Earl of Norfolk
assisted at the great council held by the king at Nottingham ; and at his
second coronation, his lordship was one of the four earls that carried
the silken canopy over the monarch's head. In 1191, he was keeper of Hereford
Castle. He was Chief Judge in the King's Court from 1195 to 1202. In 1200
he was sent by King John as one of his messengers to summon William the
Lion, King of Scotland to do homage to him in the parliament which was
held at Lincoln and subsequently attended King John into Poitou, but on
his return he was won over to their cause by the rebel Barons and became
one of the strongest advocates of the Charter of Liberty, for which he
was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. He died before 1221. His lordship

BEATRIX DE SAY married Geoffrey Fitz-Piers. One of
Geoffrey's first acts as a feudal lord was to dispossess the monks of Walden
of certain lands which they had derived from his predecessor, and after
a long controversy which was referred to the Pope and the King, was finally
compromised. Upon the removal \of Hubert, archbishop of Canterbury, from
the office of Justice of England, by Richard I, Geoffrey was appointed
to succeed him; and at the coronation of King John on June 26, 1199, he
was girt with the sword as Earl of Essex and then served at the king's
table. Being nominated patron of the monastery of Walden, he appears soon
after to have been received with great ceremony by the monks, and perfectly
reconciled to those holy fathers. He had a grant of the castle and honor
of Berkhamstead. With Beatrix de Say the four above mentioned children.

The family of de Vere, the noblest in England
and indeed, as Englishmen love to say, "the noblest in all Europe," derive
their title through an uninterrupted male descent from a time when the
Nevilles and Percys enjoyed only a. local celebrity and when even the great
name of Plantagenet had not yet been heard in England.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson's advice to Lady Clara Vere
de Vere:
"A simple maiden in her flower Is worth a
hundred coats-of-arms.
The daughter of a hundred earls ...you fix'd
a vacant stare And slew him with your noble birth.
Trust me, Clara. Vere de Vere
From yon blue heavens above us bent
The gardener Adam and his wife
Smile at the claims of long descent.
Howe'er it be, it seems to me,
'T is only noble to be good.
Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than Norman blood."

SAIRE DE QUINCEY the Surety, born before 1154, a
Baron present at Lincoln when William the Lion, of Scotland, did homage
to the English monarch in October 1200. He obtained large grants and immunities
from King John, and was created Earl of Winchester on March 2, 1207, having
been, in 1203, governor of the castle of Ruil, in Normandy. To him is credited
the re-writing of Magna Charta from the Charter of King Henry I and the
Saxon code. Opposing the King's concession to the Pope's legate, he was
bitterly hated by King John. He was one of the Barons to whom the city
and Tower of London were resigned, and was excommunicated with the other
barons the following year. He was sent, with Robert FitzWalter, the Surety,
by the other Barons, to invite the Dauphin of France to assume the crown
of England, and, even after the death of King John, he kept a strong garrison
in Mountsorell Castle, in behalf of Prince Louis. When the Barons, being
greatly outnumbered, were defeated by the troops of King Henry III, Saire
de Quincey with many others was made prisoner and his estates forfeited.
In the following October his immense estates were restored upon his submission.
In 1218, the Earl of Winchester went with the Earls of Chester and Arundel
to the Holy Land, assisted at the siege of Damietta, 1219, and died November
3, 1219 on the way to Jerusalem. His wife Margaret was daughter of Robert
