  • Name Ralph DE MONTHERMER  [1, 2
    • Ralph De Monthermer was born in 1262, of unknown parentage, and a servant to her first husband. The marriage enraged her father, the King, and he committed Ralph to prison in Bristol Castle, and all Joan's lands were seised into the King's hand. By the Mediation of Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, however, peace was made between the King and his daughter, and her lands were restored to her on 31 July 1297, Ralph having done homage. The King afterwards became much attached to his new son-in-law, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, during the minority of his step-son Gilbert de Clare. He was at the siege of Carlaverock in the summer of 1300. Joan of England died on 23 Apr 1307 and was buried at Clare. he was summoned to Parliament from 4 Mar 1308/9 by writs directed 'Raulph de Monte Hermerii', whereby he is held to have become Lord Monthermer. He fought at Bannockburn in 1314. In December 1315 he had permission to go to Santiago on pilgrimage. [1]
