BLAKENHAM, Alice

  Research Notes:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blakenham-3 Extensive notes as to the Richardson's determination of Alice's surname. May not be in his volumes- appears that it was only listed on a Usenet Group by Richardson, is as follows:

Dear Newsgroup ~

Complete Peerage, 11 (1949): 365-366 (sub Saint Philibert) has a good
account of the life history of Sir Hugh de Saint Philibert (died
1304), of Cresswell (in Bray), Berkshire. Regarding his marriage, the
author states:

"He married Alice -----."

No further particulars are provided.

The published Edington Cartulary includes the abstract of a quitclaim
in fee dated 1297 from Bennet de Blakenham, son and heir of Bennet de
Blakenham, to Hugh and Alice de Saint Philibert. This document
clearly identifies Alice, wife of Hugh, as the sister of Bennet de
Blakenham the younger. The abstract reads as follows:

"622. 20 Oct. 1297. Quitclaim in fee from Bennet, son and heir of
Bennet de Blakenham, to Hugh de Sancto Philberto and his wife Alice,
Bennet's sister, and to Alice's heirs, of his manors of Etone Hasting,
Westwell, Thormertone, and Southrop, and the advowsons of the church
of Etone Hasting and the chapel of Thormerton, with dower from the
said manors when it occurs. Witnesses: Warin de Lisle, Richard de
Colleshulle, Geoffrey de Turburwill, John de Lenham, knights, John de
Speresholte, Ralph de la Stane, William de Sancto Mauro, William de
Raumpayn, Thomas Alewy, Adam de Fauelore, John Cokerel. Braye, Sunday
after St. Luke, 25 Edward I." END OF QUOTE. [Reference: Janet H.
Stevenson, Edington Cartulary (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 42) (1987): 159].

Judging from the chronology, it appears that Alice (de Blakenham) de
St. Philibert is the sister of _____ de Blakenham (daughter of Bennet
de Blakenham), 2nd wife of Mattthew de Lovaine. The Lovaine couple
are ancestral to Sir William Bourchier, Count of Eu (died 1420),
husband of Anne of Gloucester, granddaughter of King Edward III.
Further information on the Blakenham family can be found in the book,
Suffolk Fines, by Rye. Further information on the Bourchier amd Saint
Philibert families can be found in my book, Plantagenet Ancestry.

Note that I left off the part where Richardson connected them to 17th Century Colonial American ancestors, as the original post was written circa 2004, which was prior to Richardson's connecting up Audrey Barlow to this line.

Alice married Baron Hugh DE ST. PHILIBERT IV. (Baron Hugh DE ST. PHILIBERT IV was born about 1270 in Chelsworth, Suffolk, England and died on 31 Dec 1304 in Sulham, Bradfield, Berkshire, England.)
