Ralph Bloet (nobleman, † 1241 or 1242)
Ralph Bloet (also Ralph IV Bloet ) († 1241 or 1242) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman.
Ralph Bloet came from the Bloet family , a lower nobility family with estates in south west England and the Welsh Marches . He was the son of his father of the same name, Ralph III Bloet (nobleman, † 1199) and his wife Nest . After the death of his father, his mother successfully sued his uncle Robert Bloet , who had initially taken over the administration of the estate, a Wittum . After he came of age, Ralph took over his father's inheritance. As the most important vassal of the Striguil lordship in Southeast Wales, he attested several documents from his Lord William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke . When he was one of the most important supporters of the crown during the First War of the Barons from 1215 to 1217, Bloet also fought for King Johann Ohneland and his son Heinrich III. When Richard Marshal, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and Lord of Striguil rebelled against the king in 1233 , Bloet was suspected of supporting the rebels, which is why his English goods were confiscated. However, he got it back quickly. He died in late 1241 or early 1242. His sons were minors when he died. The management of the estates of the Bloet family until the heirs came of age was given to Walter Marshal, 5th Earl of Pembroke , Lord of Striguil, who however sold the guardianship and the right to marry the heirs to Earl Simon de Montfort .
Bloet had several sons:
- William Bloet († between 1287 and 1300)
- Ralph V Bloet († 1265 at the Battle of Evesham ), Lord of Hinton Blewitt
