Giles Daubeney (politician, around 1333)
Sir Giles Daubeney (also Giles I Daubeney ) (* around 1333, † June 24, 1386 in South Petherton ) was an English knight and politician.
origin
Giles Daubeney came from the Daubeney family , a respected gentry family with extensive holdings in southern England. He was the eldest son of Sir Ralph Daubeney and his first wife Alice Montagu .
Life
During his father's lifetime, Daubeney was able to build up his own property by buying the goods of Kempston in Bedfordshire and Tottenham in Middlesex for 200 marks , which he had borrowed from his uncle Sir William Daubeney . In doing so, he increased the family's influence in southern England beyond Somerset . As a result, he then took over local offices in Bedfordshire, including the office of sheriff from 1379 to 1380 . After the death of his father in 1378 he inherited the other family estates, whereupon he concentrated his activities on Somerset. In 1382 and at least two more times he was elected Knight of the Shire for Somerset, which he then represented in parliaments . He died on one of his estates in Somerset, but was buried in Kempston, Bedfordshire. The funerary monument for him and his wife was probably later moved to St Botolph's Church in Saxilby .
Marriage and offspring
In 1358 Daubeney Alianore Willington (also Eleanor ) († August 6, 1400), a daughter of Sir Henry Willington († 1349) married. With her he had at least three sons:
- Sir Giles II Daubeney (1370-1403)
- Thomas Daubeney
- William Daubeney
His heir became his eldest son, Giles II Daubeney.
