Ralph Daubeney
Sir Ralph Daubeney (around 1304, † 1378 ) was an English knight and military man.
Origin and heritage
Ralph Daubeney came from the Daubeney family , a gentry family with estates in Somerset, England, and Brittany . He was the eldest son of Elis Daubeney and his wife Joan . His father died in 1305, so that the family's possessions fell under royal guardianship. When Ralph came of age in 1326, he received the estates in England, while his twin brother William inherited the family estates in Brittany.
Military service
Like his father, Ralph Daubeney took part in several English campaigns to Scotland during the Scottish Wars of Independence , where he was beaten to a Knight Bachelor and later to the Knight Banneret . At the beginning of the 1330s, however, he got into Scottish captivity, from which he was only released in October 1337. Nevertheless, he was able to continue his career in England afterwards. In February 1342 he became a member of the royal council, but unlike his father, he apparently never received a personal writ of summons for appointment to parliament , which is why he is not considered Baron Daubeney . In the wake of Bishop Thomas Hatfield of Durham, he took part in King Edward III's campaign during the Hundred Years War in 1346 . to France. He fought in the Battle of Crécy and took part in the long but successful siege of Calais .
Marriages and offspring
Daubeney was apparently married three times. In his first marriage he had married Alice , a daughter of William Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Somerset. With her he had at least one son:
- Giles Daubeney (around 1333-1386)
In his second marriage he married Katherine , a daughter of Marmaduke of Thwing, 1st Baron Thwing . With her he had at least one daughter:
- Elizabeth († 1433) ⚭ William de Botreaux, 1st Baron Botreaux
Apparently he married Mary in his third marriage († around July 1398), whose origin is unknown.
His heir became his son Giles from his first marriage. His third wife Mary survived him, she married Sir John Bussy for the second time before June 1386 . As a Wittum , she accepted an annual pension of 50 marks from the income of the South Ingleby estate in Lincolnshire , which she received until her death.
