:''For the councillor of Henry II, the crusading earl of Essex, see William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex.'' William de Mandeville (died before 1130)〔George Edward Cokayne, ''The Complete Peerage'', Vol. V (The St. Catherine Press, Ltd., London, 1926), p. 113〕 was an Anglo-Norman baron and Constable of the Tower of London. ==Life== William de Mandeville inherited the estates of his father Geoffrey de Mandeville, the Domesday tenant-in-chief, around 1100.〔K.S.B. Keats-Rohan, ''Domesday People'', I Domesday Book, (Boydell Press, 1999) p. 227〕 He was Constable of the Tower of London at that time,〔Ronald Sutherland Gower, ''The Tower of London'', Vol. ii (George Bell & Sons, 1902), p. 179〕 and thus keeper of the first person known to be imprisoned there for political reasons, Ranulf Flambard. Flambard's escape in February 1101 would have significant consequences for William.〔J. H. Round, ''Geoffrey de Mandeville'', (Longmans, Green, 1892), p. 37〕 It is not known if William was in some way complicit in the escape of Flambard, or was simply a careless keeper. Regardless, as a punishment, in 1103 Henry I confiscated the three richest of William's Essex estates, Sawbridgeworth, Saffron Waldon, and Great Waltham, comprising about a third of his entire holdings, as well as the constableship giving them to Eudo Dapifer, William’s father-in-law.〔C. Warren Hollister, ''Henry I'', Editor Amanda Clark Frost (Yale University Press, New Haven, London, 2003), p. 173〕〔Nicholas Vincent, 'Warin and Henry fitz Gerald, the King’s Chamberlains: The Origins of the FitzGeralds Revisited,' '' Anglo-Norman Studies 21'' (Boydell Press, Woodbridge, 1999) pp. 223-260〕 Little is known of William's activities after this. William married Margaret, daughter of Eudo FitzHubert (''Dapifer'')〔()〕 and Rohese de Clare, she married secondly Othuer fitz Earl (d. 1120), natural son of Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester.〔〔K. S. B. Keats-Rohan, ''Domesday People'', I Domesday Book, (Boydell Press, 1999) p. 194〕 Their son Geoffrey de Mandeville would recover the seized estates and the constableship during the reign of king Stephen.〔 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「William de Mandeville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
