329	DEATH: Beheaded Edmund Fitz Alan, 9th/2nd Earl of Arundel; born 1 May 1285; knighted 1306, Capt General north of Trent 1316, having origianally opposed Edward II and his favourite Piers Gaveston changed sides and was on of only a handful of magnates who stayed loyal to Edward; Chief Justiciar of North and South Wales 1323, Warden of Welsh Marches 1325; married 1305 Alice, sister and in her issue eventual heir of John de Warenne, 8th Earl of Surrey of the 1088 creation, and was summarily beheaded at Hereford 17 Nov 1326, after being taken prisoner by adherents of Queen Isabella (wife but opponent of Edward II), following which he was posthumously stripped of his lands and titles. [Burke's Peerage] --------------------------------------------- Edmund Fitz-Alan, 8th Earl of Arundel. We find this nobleman, from the 34th Edward I [1306], to the 4th of the ensuing reign [1311], constantly engaged in the wars of Scotland; but he was afterwards involved in the treason of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, yet not greatly to his prejudice, for, in the 10th Edward II [1317], his lordship was constituted lieutenant and captain-general to the king, from the Trent northwards, as far as Roxborough, in Scotland, and for several years subsequently, he continued one of the commanders of the English army in Scotland, in which service he so distinguished himself, that he obtained a grant from the crown of the confiscated property of Lord Badlesmere, in the city of London and county of Salop, as well as the escheated lands of John, Lord Mowbray, in the Isle of Axholme, and several manors and castles, part of the possessions (also forfeited) of Roger, Lord Mortimer, of Wigmore. But those royal grants led, eventually, to the earl's ruin, for, after the fall of the unhappy Edward into the hands of his enemies, Lord Arundel, who was implacably hated by the queen and Mortimer, suffered death by decapitation at Hereford, in 1326. His lordship m. 1305, the Lady Alice Plantagenet, sister and sole heir of John, last Earl of Warren and Surrey of that family, by whom he had issue, Richard, his successor; Edmund (Sir), m.

332	Encyclopedia Britannica Online at britannica.com: Eleanor of Provence, born 1223 died June 25, 1291, Amesbury, Wiltshire, England. French ?l?onore De Provence queen consort of King Henry III of England (ruled 1216-7 2); her widespread unpopularity intensified the severe conflicts between the King and his barons. Eleanor's father was Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Provence, and her mother was the daughter of Thomas I, count of Savoy. The marriage of Eleanor and Henry (January 1236) was designed to further the King's con tinental ambitions. Eleanor soon alienated the barons by having her Savoyard and Proven?al uncles installed in high offices in England. After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the government in May 1264, Eleanor became the l eader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised an invasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders. Nevertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor then returned to England. Upon the death of Henry and the accession of her son Edward I, she retired to a nunnery at Amesbury.	BERENGER, Countess Eleanor Of Provence (I29104)

335	From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Blanche of Castile:" "French BLANCHE DE CASTILLE, Spanish BLANCA DE CASTILLA, wife of Louis VIII of France, mother of Louis IX (St. Louis), and twice regent of France (1226-34, 1248-52), who by wars and marital alliances did much to secure and unify French territories. Blanche was the daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor, who was the daughter of Henry II of England. Her grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of England, traveled to Spain to take the 11-year-old Blanche to France, where a marriage treaty was concluded with Louis, the young son of King Philip II Augustus. This politically motivated marriage had been arranged by Blanche's uncle, King John of England, and was celebrated in 1200 at Portsmouth, Hampshire. It represented only a brief truce in the struggle between England and France for control over certain French territories. "Blanche, who became French through marriage, was gradually to become French in spirit as well. Although she did not cease to be concerned for her family, among them her uncle John and his allies, her brother-in-law Ferrand of Portugal, and her cousin Otto of Brunswick (later Holy Roman emperor Otto IV), she rejoiced at the French victory over Otto and the English at Bouvines in 1214, marking the first stage of French unification, a goal for which she was constantly to strive. In the same year, she gave birth to Louis, the future king of France. Upon John of England's death, Blanche boldly tried to seize the English throne: in 1216 Louis of France invaded England on her behalf. The English stood firm against him, and John's nine-year-old son was finally crowned Henry III. "A devout Roman Catholic, Blanche soon became involved in what she sincerely believed to be a holy war against the heretical Cathari, a sect founded on the belief that good and evil had two separate creators, which was flourishing throughout southern France. Her husband, who became Louis VIII in 1223, took part in a crusade against the Cathari but suffered a fatal attack of dysentery upon returning to the north of France in 1226. In accordance with her husband's will, Blanche became both guardian of the 12-year-old Louis and regent of France. She zealously pressed to have Louis crowned immediately, and the coronation took place at Reims three weeks after Louis VIII's death. "Her most pressing problem was to deal with a rebellion of the great barons, organized by Philip Hurepel, the illegitimate son of King Philip II Augustus, and supported by King Henry III of England. In the face of such adversity, Blanche showed herself by turns a delicate diplomat, a clever negotiator, and a strong leader. Dressed in white, on a white palfrey draped in the same colour, she rode into battle at the head of her troops. After an attempted abduction of the young king, Blanche did not hesitate to replace rebel noble associates with commoners if she thought it necessary. She also created local militias. Blanche was gradually able to subdue the revolt, establish a new truce with England, and, in 1229, pacify the south of France by signing the Treaty of Paris with Raymond VII, count of Toulouse. France then entered an era of domestic stability, which saw the construction of many cathedrals throughout the country. "On only one occasion did Blanche fail to exhibit diplomatic conduct. In 1229 a dispute between an innkeeper and some students took place in the Latin Quarter in Paris. The police were summoned, and the students were beaten and thrown into the Seine; such intervention in the Latin Quarter, however, was contrary to the prerogatives granted to the university, and the faculty and students threatened to strike if the university's privileges were not respected. Badly advised, Blanche held firm, but the university closed its doors, and the faculty and students left Paris for the provinces and abroad. It was to take four years and the intervention of the pope before the university would return to Paris with new prerogatives, this time granted by Blanche herself. "Although Louis IX came of age on April 25, 1236, Blanche remained at his side as his most loyal and steadfast supporter. She lacked tact, however, with regard to her son's private life. Although Blanche herself had selected Margaret of Provence to be Louis's wife, she treated Margaret with considerable severity. In 1244, after Louis recovered from a serious illness, he and his wife, much against Blanche's wishes, made a vow to go on a crusade against the Muslims. They embarked in 1248, and once again the kingdom was entrusted to Blanche. Informed of Louis's defeat at Al-Mansurah, Egypt, and his subsequent imprisonment, Blanche herself went to seek his ransom and that of the French army. She petitioned her parents, her allies, and the pope for funds and supplies, but interest in the crusade had dwindled. "Although weakened by a heart ailment, Blanche did not neglect her obligations as a regent. Continuing to preside over council meetings, she signed laws and watched over the poor of Paris. When some of the poor were mistreated by the cathedral chapter, she herself rode, as formerly, to open the gates to their prison. On her way to the Abbey of the Lys, one of her favourite retreats, Blanche suffered an attack of the heart ailment that was to take her life. She was returned to the palace of the Louvre, dressed in a nun's habit, and laid on a bed of hay. There, after begging forgiveness of all and having received the last sacraments, she died. She was buried at Maubuisson Abbey and her heart taken to the Abbey of the Lys. Louis IX was in Jaffa when he learned of his mother's death. The news distressed him greatly, for he was aware that he had lost not only an incomparable parent but also the strongest supporter of his kingship."	Blanche Of Castile (I4101)
336	From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Ferdinand II:" "king of Leon from 1157 to 1188, second son of Alfonso VII. "Despite several internal revolts against his rule, Ferdinand's reign was notable for the repopulation of Leonese Extremadura and for the victories he secured farther south against the Almohads in the last 20 years of his reign. These included the capture of Alc?antara (1166) and Badajoz (1169). He also gave important support to the new military order of Santiago, founded with his approval in 1170. Ferdinand, who called himself rex hispanorum ("king of the Spaniards"), established a temporary tutelage over Castile during the minority of his nephew Alfonso VIII and occupied Segovia and Toledo (1162-66), though Alfonso later reacted violently against Ferdinand. Ferdinand was also frequently engaged in hostilities with the nascent Portuguese kingdom but came successfully to the rescue of the Portuguese when the Almohads invested the key city of Santar?em (1184)." King of Leon (1157-88). He was the second son of Alfonso II, king of Castile, who was also king of Leon as Alfonso VII. Ferdinand was noted both for his intermittent wars with Castile an d Portugal and for his reorganization, about 1170, of the military Order of Saint James of th e Sword (Santiago de la Espada) to participate in the campaign to drive the Moors from Spain.	LEON, King Ferdinand Alfonsez II Of (I8)
337	From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Ferdinand III:" "canonized Feb. 4, 1671; feast day May 30" "also called SAINT FERDINAND, Spanish SAN FERNANDO, king of Castile from 1217 to 1252 and of Leon from 1230 to 1252 and conqueror of the Muslim cities of C?ordoba (1236), Ja?en (1246), and Seville (1248). During his campaigns, Murcia submitted to his son Alfonso (later Alfonso X), and the Muslim kingdom of Granada became his vassal. "Ferdinand was the son of Alfonso IX of Leon and Berenguela, daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile. When born, he was the heir to Leon, but his uncle, Henry I of Castile, died young, and his mother inherited the crown of Castile, which she conferred on him. His father, like many Leonese, opposed the union, and Ferdinand found himself at war with him. By his will Alfonso IX tried to disinherit his son, but the will was set aside, and Castile and Leon were permanently united in 1230. "Ferdinand married Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the Holy Roman emperor, a title that Ferdinand's son Alfonso X was to claim. His conquest of Lower Andalusia was the result of the disintegration of the Almohad state. The Castilians and other conquerors occupied the cities, driving out the Muslims and taking over vast estates." In 1217 Ferdinand became King of Castile, which crown his mother renounced in his favour, and in 1230 he succeeded to the crown of Leon, though not without civil strife, since many were opposed to the union of the two kingdoms. He took as his counsellors the wisest men in the State, saw to the strict administration of justice, and took the greatest care not to overburden his subjects with taxation, fearing, as he said, the curse of one poor woman more than a whole army of Saracens. Following his mother's advice, Ferdinand, in 1219, married Beatrice, the daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany, one of the most virtuous princesses of her time. God blessed this union with seven children: six princes and one princess. The highest aims of Ferdinand's life were the propagation of the Faith and the liberation of Spain from the Saracen yoke. Hence his continual wars against the Saracens. He took from them vast territories, Granada and Alicante alone remaining in their power at the time of his death. In the most important towns he founded bishoprics, reestablished Catholic worship everywhere, built churches, founded monasteries, and endowed hospitals. The greatest joys of his life were the conquests of Cordova (1236) and Seville (1248). He turned the great mosques of these places into cathedrals, dedicating them to the Blessed Virgin. He watched over the conduct of his soldiers, confiding more in their virtue than in their valour, fasted strictly himself, wore a rough hairshirt, and often spent his nights in prayer, especially before battles. Amid the tumult of the camp he lived like a religious in the cloister. The glory of the Church and the happiness of his people were the two guiding motives of his life. He founded the University of Salamanca, the Athens of Spain. Ferdinand was buried in the great cathedral of Seville before the image of the Blessed Virgin, clothed, at his own request, in the habit of the Third Order of St. Francis. His body, it is said, remains incorrupt. Many miracles took place at his tomb, and Clement X canonized him in 1671. His feast is kept by the Minorites on the 30th of May.	CASTILE AND LEON, King Fernando Alfonsez "The Saint" III (I29126)
338	From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled Eleanor of Aquitaine: "also called ELEANOR OF GUYENNE, French ?EL?EONORE, OR ALI?ENOR, D'AQUITAINE, OR DEGUYENNE, queen consort of both Louis VII of France (in 1137-52) and Henry II of England (in 1152-1204) and mother of Richard I the Lion-Heart and John of England. She was perhaps the most powerful woman in 12th-century Europe. "She died in 1204 at the monastery at Fontevrault, Anjou, where she had retired after the campaign at Mirebeau. Her contribution to England extended beyond her own lifetime; after the loss of Normandy (1204), it was her own ancestral lands and not the old Norman territories that remained loyal to England. She has been misjudged by many French historians who have noted only her youthful frivolity, ignoring the tenacity, political wisdom, and energy that characterized the years of her maturity. "She was beautiful and just, imposing and modest, humble and elegant"; and, as the nuns of Fontevrault wrote in their necrology: a queen "who surpassed almost all the queens of the world."ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE (1122-1204) was one of the most important rulers of Medieval Europe. Many noblewomen in the Middle Ages were well-educated. but Eleanor had the chance to use her education at a time when European politics was dominated by men. When she was just fifteen, Eleanor's father died, and she inherited Aquitaine. the largest kingdom in France. That same year she married King Louis VII and became Queen of France. Although still a teenager, Eleanor was an impressive figure--beautiful, very well-educated, and fearlessly independent. When Louis went off on the Crusades, she went with him, traveling thousands of miles, much of it through hostile lands. But Eleanor and Louis had no male heir, and tensions developed between them. The Pope granted them a divorce when Eleanor was twenty-nine. Within months. Eleanor married Henry Plantagent, her ex-husband's main rival. Two years later Henry became King of England--and Eleanor was a queen again. However, Henry soon fell in love with another woman, and Eleanor left England to set up her own court in Aquitaine, which she still ruled. Troubadours from all over France flocked to her palace at Poitiers, where Eleanor acted as patron of the arts. Many of the ideas of chivalry that we associate with the Middle Ages were developed in Eleanor's court.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- Some say King Lewis carried her into the Holy Land, where she carried herself not very holily, but led a licentious life; and, which is the worst kind of licentiousness, in carnal familiarity with a Turk.	AQUITAINE, Queen Eleanor De (I13601)
339	George Grahame, of Inchbraikie The first and second Lairds of Inchbrakie were conspicuous by their early marriages, and very soon after his father's death we find George our second laird contemplating matrimony, or perhaps we should say, having it contemplated for him! Probably it was hastened to suit his mother the Lady Margaret Stewart, who was anxious to betake herself to her new home in Argyleshire; but it must remain an open question whether his marriage really occurred at the time the following Frank is dated, for he cannot have been much more than fourteen years of age. King James V. gave a letter or Frank dated 1538 to Robert master of Montrose of the ward of the lands of "Strathie-bowie" (which had belonged to the deceased Patrick Graeme of Inchbrakie) on the marriage of George Graeme "sone and are of the said umquhile Patrick". Such a grant shows that George was still a ward when the marriage was contemplated. These lands of Strathiebowie and Nether Pernzie in the Stewartry of Strathearn became in this generation as in the previous one, the subject of a special retour; in 1555 (3 October) we find George retoured heir to his father Patrick in them, just as in 1516 that same Patrick the first baron, had been retoured heir to his father the Earl of Montrose. This pointedly corroborates the descent of the older Inchbrakies, though curiously enough (says Mr Riddle) it was never adduced at the noted service in 1770 when the Inchbrakie of that day was served heir male to Patrick first of Inchbrakie. It appears more probable that this retour of 1555 was made with regard to marriage settlements as it occurred so long after his succession and when he was not more than about twenty four years of age. We also find another retour to our Laird at this date, of the lands of Crago ? This paper is docketed Nota Andrew of Fawdouryd (?) gift of Maintenance of lands of Crago to George Graeme of Inchbrakie. The tenour of this document is, that Andrew Ker son and Heir of the late Margaret Haliburton one of the ladies of Dirleton, assigns to his cousin George Graeme of Inchbrakie son to the late Patrick Graeme of Inchbrakie "brother to my said Mother" the power to uptake and intromit to his own use and profit all rents etc, of the farms and lands of Crago. His letter will is made at Inchbrakie on the 1st November 1575, and runs as follows: - "I George Graeme of Inchebreky being in my lege pousta, veseit be the hand of God with sair infirmitie of seiknes, makis and dispones my latter will and Testament in presens of the Almyehtie God to qu home I rander my saule, perpetualie with him to regne in eternall fruitioun etc. etc.; and I desire you all that be heir present, to assist me in my prayer and making of my confession to the eternall God saying 'oure father' etc." The will goes on to constitute his "wele beloved spouse in the Lord, Mairjorie Rollok tutour testamentrix, and onlie intramissatrix with my bairns thair leving, in soumes of money etc. etc, to be governet be hir in during her we do heid and thair minoritie; and als I constitute my honorabill and welbelovit freindis Johne Campbell of Laweris, George Rollok of Duncrub, Robert Graeme my bruther germane Archidene of Ross, and Maister Johne Stewart constable of the Castell of Striviling, Tutouris and curatoures to my foresaid spous and bairnis, and my chief John, Erle of Montroise, overman to my spous and bairnis." In case of his wife's "default or inabilities" he constitutes the foresaid friends in her place, providing that nothing is done for the children except, with the advice and councel of "foresaid chief overman." The witnesses to the will are Johne Grahame, son to the Laird of Garvock, two servants belonging to the Laird of Lawers and Andro Drummond (doubtless the man who would draw up the will), notair publick, "with utheris diverse." The will is an index of the man's nature, still in the zenith and prime of his life, at 45 years of age. He not only has the usual religious preamble recorded, but it is a more earnest and complete one than is commonly used; and the request for the Lord's Prayer to be said with him at the close is a somewhat singular one, showing the reverent side of his character, while his expression of love to his wife, and warm confidence in his friends and relations show an affectionate nature, which must have shone through most actions of his life. May we not picture the grouping of that solemn scene? The central figure of the man who though still almost young, was leaving all he loved, so humbly and so patiently, going forth to meet his Redeemer, his mind at rest as to his worldly affairs, his eyes fixed on his weeping wife, the solemn little knot of witnesses, and the grey light of the November day struggling through the deep embrasures of the castle walls, the bare branches of the beeches swaying fitfully in the wintry breeze. A few days pass of suffering and weakness, more or less prolonged, and George Graeme's spirit had gone to its eternal home. Thus his children will be cared for by John Campbell of Lawers (his half sister's husband), George Rollo (his brother-in-law), Robert Graeme the "Archidene," his brother; and John Stewart, Constable of Stirling Castle, his uncle (his mother's brother). Strange that the chief witness to the will is John, second son of Graeme of Garvock, afterwards Graeme of Balgowan, the man who in a year or two will win the heart of George's widow Marion, and who will faithfully care for the children of his friend.	GRAHAM, Laird George 2nd Laird of Inchbrakie (I594772084)
340	Harold Shaffer Harold J. Shaffer, 62, a lifelong resident of Idaho passed away Thursday, March 30, 1995, of natural causes. Harold was born September 26, 1932, at Drumwright, Oklahoma, the son of LeRoy and Marie Shaffer. The Shaffers moved to Homedale, Idaho, where he was raised and educated. Mr. Shaffer served in the U.S. Army, earning him the National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Occupation Medal (Germany). While stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, he met and married Minnie F. Carney and upon his discharge returned to Idaho where together they made their home and raised three daughters. Harold was a truck driver and dispatcher for Simplot for over thirty years. He enjoyed fishing, camping and boating. His daughters spent many an hour waterskiing behind his boat. Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Marie Shaffer, of Caldwell; three daughters, Susan Mutina, of Kempner, Texas, Sally Gohn and Sherry Hutchison of Caldwell, Idaho; three grandsons, Robby and Kenny Hunnicutt of Tomball, Texas, and Keith Hutchison of Caldwell, Idaho. Special friends of Harold's included Monte Goodloe of Mountain Home, Idaho (who was like a son), and Donna Allen of Caldwell, Idaho, who was "very special" to Harold and his daughters. He was preceded in death by his father, LeRoy W. Shaffer, and his wife, Minnie F. Shaffer. Graveside services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, 1995, at Canyon Hill Cemetery, Caldwell, Idaho. Pastor Jack Cooke of Centennial Baptist Church, Caldwell, will officiate. Friends may call today, , April 3, 1995, from 4 until 8 p.m. at the Flahiff Funeral Chapel, Caldwell	SHAFFER, Harold James (I30430)
341	Humphrey was Earl Hereford and Constable of England in right of his mother, if the chronicles of Lathony be correct. His lordship married Margaret of Scotland (daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, and Ada de Warren; son of David I, King of Scotland, and Maud; daughter of Waltheof and Judith; daughter of Adelaide; sister of William, the Conqueror). David I of Scotland was son of Malcolm III, King of Scotland, and Margaret, princess and heiress of the Saxon royal line. Thus bringing into the de Bohun family the royal English, Saxon, Scottish, French and Dukes of Normandy. Upon the death of Milo deGlos in 1146, this Humphrey IV assumed the title of Earl of Hereford, but died before his father, hence was never confirmed in it. The hereditary right descended to his son. He was the Earl of Hereford.	DE BOHUN, Humphrey "The Young" IV (I3790)

344	John was born on Christmas Eve 1167. His parents drifted apart after his birth; his youth was divided between his eldest brother Henry's house, where he learned the art of knighthood, and the house of his father's justiciar, Ranulf Glanvil, where he learned the business of government. As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available to him, giving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marriage lasted but ten years and was fruitless, but his second wife, Isabella of Angouleme, bore him two sons and three daughters. He also had an illegitimate daughter, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler of All Wales, from which the Tudor line of monarchs was descended. The survival of the English government during John's reign is a testament to the reforms of his father, as John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially. The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richard clashed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father's wishes surrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sent John to rule Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and the transplanted Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves; the experiment was a total failure and John returned home within six months. After Richard gained the throne in 1189, he gave John vast estates in an unsuccessful attempt to appease his younger brother. John failed to overthrow Richard's administrators during the German captivity and conspired with Philip II in another failed coup attempt. Upon Richard's release from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon and he spent the next five years in his brother's shadow. John's reign was troubled in many respects. A quarrel with the Church resulted in England being placed under an interdict in 1207, with John actually excommunicated two years later. The dispute centered on John's stubborn refusal to install the papal candidate, Stephen Langdon, as Archbishop of Canterbury; the issue was not resolved until John surrendered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tribute for England as the Pope's vassal. John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to the Irish debacle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating the murder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, he lost the last of his French possessions and returned to England. The final ten years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts to regain these territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon the barons to pay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented barons revolted, capturing London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the following June, John succumbed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and the English people at-large, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, a declaration of feudal rights, stressed three points. First, the Church was free to make ecclesiastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normal amounts of money could only be collected with the consent of the king's feudal tenants. Third, no freeman was to be punished except within the context of common law. Magna Carta, although a testament to John's complete failure as monarch, was the forerunner of modern constitutions. John only signed the document as a means of buying time and his hesitance to implement its principles compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons offered the throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion from the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North. John was remembered in elegant fashion by Sir Richard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: ". . .his works of piety were very many . . . as for his actions, he neither came to the crown by justice, nor held it with any honour, nor left it peace." MAGNA CARTA The Great Charter of English liberty granted (under considerable duress) by King John at Runnymede on June 15, 1215 John, by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, earls, barons, justices, foresters, sheriffs, stewards, servants, and to all his officials and loyal subjects, greeting.

In a war with the French king Philip II, he lost Normandy and almost all his other possessions in France. In England, after a revolt of the barons, he was forced to seal the Magna Carta (1215). From the Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "John:" "John's reputation, bad at his death, was further depressed by writers of the next generation. Of all centuries prior to the present, only the 16th, mindful of his quarrel with Rome, recognized some of his quality. He was suspicious, vengeful, and treacherous; Arthur I of Brittany was probably murdered in captivity, and Matilda de Braose, the wife of a recalcitrant Marcher baron, was starved to death with her son in a royal prison. But John was cultured and literate. Conventional in his religion rather than devout, he was remembered for his benefactions to the church of Coventry, to Reading Abbey, and to Worcester, where he was buried and where his effigy still survives. He was extraordinarily active, with a great love of hunting and a readiness to travel that gave him a knowledge of England matched by few other monarchs. He took a personal interest in judicial and financial administration, and his reign saw important advances at the Exchequer, in the administration of justice, in the importance of the privy seal and the royal household, in methods of taxation and military organization, and in the grant of chartered privileges to towns. If his character was unreliable, his political judgment was acute. In 1215 many barons, including some of the most distinguished, fought on his side." "Lackland" refered to John's status as the youngest son, resulting in no significant inherited fiefs from his Father. His titles included King of Ireland 1177, Count of Mortain 1189, Earl of Gloucester. John succeeded his brother Richard I as King in 1199. In 1215 he put his seal on the Magna Carta (Great Charter). The Magna Carta is the foundation of English Constitutional law and liberties and placed the King, like the subjects he ruled, subject to the rule of law. He is Interred in Worcester Cathedral.

349	Magna Carta Surety, 1215. From Magna Charta, p. 112: "one of the barons present at Lincoln when William the Lion, of Scotland, did homage to the English monarch in October 1200. He obtained large grants and immunities from King John, and was created Earl of Winchester, 2 March 1207, having been, in 1203, governor of the castle of Ruil, in Normandy. To him is credited the re-writing of Magna Charta from the Charter of King Henry I and the Saxon code. Opposing the King's concession to the Pope's legate, he was bitterly hated by King John. He was one of the Barons to whom the city and Tower of London were resigned, and was excommunicated with the other barons the following year. He was sent, with Robert FitzWalter, the Surety, by the other Barons, to invite the Dauphin of France to assume the crown of England, and, even after the death of King John, he kept a strong garrison in Mountsorell Castle, in behalf of Prince Louis. When the Barons, being greatly outnumbered, were defeated by the troops of King Henry III, Saire de Quincey with many others was made prisoner and his estates forfeited. In the following October his immense estates were restored upon his submission. In 1218, the Earl of Winchester went with the Earls of Chester and Arundel to the Holy Land, assisted at the siege of Damietta, 1219, and died 3 November in the same year on the way to Jerusalem.

350	McCarty Family Genealogy Forum Re: Jacob and Mary Morrow McCarty Mecklenburg, NC Posted by: John Glenn Date: November 02, 1998 In Reply to: Jacob and Mary Morrow McCarty Mecklenburg, NC by Darla Rohan of 3056 The father of your Jacob McCarty was probably Daniel McCarty. In 1782 Daniel left a will in Lincoln Co., NC (which is excerpted in Grace Davidson's Historical Collections of the Georgia Chapters of the DAR, Vol. II) that mentions (among others) his son Jacob and his son-in-law Hugh Blair. It sounds as if this is your Jacob, and he named a son for his brother-in-law. I'm descended from Daniel via his daughter Olivia, who married Samuel Johnston (whose will is also excerpted in the same volume). Daniel's wife's name was Agnes, although I do not know if she was Jacob and/or Olivia's mother. He also mentions property left him by Cornelius McCarty - perhaps his father, perhaps an uncle or brother. ************************************************************************ ******************* CAIN CONNECTIONS (USA to Australia) by Kate Lloyd "WCP" at RootsWeb ID: I46 Name: Olley MCCARTY Sex: F Birth: in of Lincoln Co,NC Death: AFT 1791 in likely Richmond,Georgia Burial: ,Richmond County,Georgia Marriage 1 Samuel JOHNSON b: ABT 1730 Children: Alex JOHNSON b: 1758 Cornelius JOHNSON b: 1774 in Putman Co.,Georgia Daniel JOHNSON Jacob JOHNSON Olley JOHNSON Nellie JOHNSON Sarah JOHNSON b: 17 MAY 1776 in ,,NC Maggy JOHNSON John JOHNSON b: 9 MAY 1750 Marriage 2 Thomas Willingham Married: 20 JUL 1791 in ,Columbia,GA	MCCARTY, Olivia "Olley" (I2251)
