Fulk de Cantilupe
Fulk de Cantilupe (also Cantelupe ) († between November 4, 1217 and March 6, 1218) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and official of the English King John Ohneland .
Fulk came from a lower nobility family who originally came from Canteleu in Normandy. He is mentioned for the first time in 1198 as a member of the household of Johann Ohneland , when he was still Count von Mortain . After Johann Ohneland became King of England in 1199, Fulk served as Sheriff of Berkshire from 1200 to 1201 . During the Franco-English War , he set up a fleet for the king along the Seine in the spring and summer of 1203 . After a serious conflict between the King and the Pope over the election of a new Archbishop of Canterbury , the King appointed Fulk and Reginald of Cornhill as administrators of the Archdiocese in 1207 . According to the chronicler Roger von Wendover , Fulk drove the monks of the cathedral chapter from Canterbury. The king justified all measures that Fulk took as administrator of the lands of the archdiocese. In January 1208, however, the king appointed new administrators for the archdiocese, possibly after Pope Innocent III. Fulk and Reginald excommunicated on August 27, 1207 . As a result, Fulk continued to serve the king. The chronicler Roger von Wendover considered him one of the king's poor advisers , and during the First Barons' War he administered rebel estates.
Johann Ohneland rewarded Fulk with the bestowal of numerous goods. Already before 1199 he received Oxenbourne in Hampshire , and before 1204 he was administrator of the royal estate of Calne in Wiltshire . After the end of September 1214 Fulk was able to expand his possessions in Wiltshire to Calstone, in addition he owned goods in Burton in Northamptonshire , and in Shopland in Essex . Before 1207, lands were added in County Cork , Ireland . At the latest from 1208 to 1210 he administered the property of Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke . In addition, in 1211, the underage Warin de Munchensi was administered .
Before his death, Cantilupe is said to have entered the Knights Templar . He probably died without male descendants, so that his possessions reverted to the king when he died. Under King Henry III. received his nephew William I de Cantilupe in 1218 Calne and Calstone in Wiltshire.
