Nicholas de Stuteville

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicholas de Stuteville († between May 20, 1217 and March 30, 1218) was an English nobleman and rebel.

Life

Nicholas de Stuteville came from the Anglo-Norman family Stuteville . He was a younger son of Robert III de Stuteville († 1183) and his wife Helewise. After the death of his older brother William de Stuteville , the family estates, which included Liddell in Cumberland and Cottingham in Yorkshire, initially came under royal administration. King Johann Ohneland left them to his confidante Brian de Lisle , who ruthlessly exploited the goods. It was not until 1205, when Williams' underage son Robert had died, that Nicholas could inherit from his brother. However, the king demanded an extraordinarily high fee of 10,000 marks from him before the properties were handed over to him. Since he could not raise this money, he had to hand over Knaresborough Castle to the king . When a nobility opposition rebelled against the king from 1213, Stuteville joined the rebels in Stamford like many other barons in northern England at Easter 1215 . With the recognition of the Magna Carta in 1215, the king also had to return Knaresborough Castle to Stuteville. Stuteville continued to support the rebels when it came to open war between the barons and the king. As a rebel he was on December 16, 1215 by Pope Innocent III. excommunicated . Apparently he was captured on May 20, 1217 in the Battle of Lincoln , which was victorious for the royal party . Stuteville was captured by William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke , the regent for the underage King Henry III. who was hoping for a large ransom from him. Stuteville paid over 1,000 marks in ransom, but before he was released he had to hand over the estates of Kirby Moorside and Liddel , which made an annual income of £ 200. But he probably died before the end of the War of the Barons in September 1217, at the latest before March 30, 1218.

Marriages and inheritance

Stuteville was apparently married twice. He had at least two sons with his first wife, whose name is not known:

  • Robert († 1213) ∞ Sybil de Valognes
  • Nicholas de Stuteville II († 1233)

Before 1197 Stuteville married Gunnora, the widow of Robert de Gant ( House of Gent ) , for the second time . On April 25, 1197, her cousin William d'Aubigné Gunnoras recognized the claim to part of the inheritance of her brother Ralph d'Aubigny, whereby she inherited estates in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire . His heir became the minor Eustach de Stuteville († 1241), the son of his eldest son Robert, for whom his uncle Nicholas de Stuteville II took over the administration of the property.
