Sir Stephen Bauzan (born after 1210 – died 1257) was an English knight. Stephen descended from a prominent family originating in Devon/Cornwall.〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/templates/article.jsp?articleid=47235&back=〕 == Move to Wales == Stephen Bauzan, aka Bauchan, Bacun, Bauceyn (see source 3 below) in various translations from early French and Latin documents, first came to Wales in service to Richard Marshall. In 1234, he is holding himself in the abbey of Flexle with others under service to Earl Richard Marshall, who died in that year, and is to be surrendered to Nicholas de Molis his kinsman (cognatum) by a mandate to the Sherriff of Glocester, by Hugh le Dispenser. (Patent Rolls, vol 3, see source 4 below) In 1243, Richard de Clare, 6th Earl of Hertford (recently appointed feudal lord of Glamorgan, and the Earl of Clare) made Bauzan Sheriff of the County. This was possibly a plot to reduce the influence of the noble Richard Siward, Lord of Talyfan and Llanbleddian (who had been appointed 'keeper' of Glamorgan by Gilbert de Clare, 5th Earl of Hertford- Richard's father). Richard charged Siward with treason for breaking a truce. In order to settle the matter, Bauzan challenged Siward to a Trial by Combat. Siward refused. After refusing the Trial, Siward was declared an outlaw by Richard, and all of his lands were confiscated. Richard granted to Bauzan the lands of Breigan and Llansannor, which he had recently stripped from Siward. Additional information: Stephen Bauzan's wife was Agnes, (Patent rolls, vols. 5,6, see source 4 below] This is possibly Agnes de Clare, first daughter of Gilbert de Clare and Isabel Marshal, which would explain the appointment as sherriff of Glamorgan (and the grants of Breigan and Llansannor as given in paragraph above) by Richard de Clare, as well as the gift of Gilbert Marshall, of Kardigan-under-Hirewern, a grant affirmed by king's patent in 1242. (Patent rolls, vol.2, source 4 below] Stephen became a king's knight, (ibid) which also supports the idea that his wife Agnes was likely née de Clare, because Isabel, her mother, became the spouse of Richard of Cornwall after the death of Gilbert de Clare, thus making Stephen a (distant) member of the king's household. This might help explain the rapid rise of Stephen, apart from his obviously great skills as a knight, in King Henry's service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Bauzan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
