Notes for Hubert fitz Ralph and Edelina de Alwodestone

1164 Hubert Filius Radulfi: "Son of Ralph fitz Odo, lord of Crick, Derbyshire, and Matilda, secondly the wife of Ralph de Aincourt. He came of age c. 1164, having succeeded his father as a minor by c. 1154 (Foulds, Cart. Thurgarton, pp lviii-ix)." [1]

1166 "Hubert fitz Ralf who then held the barony made a return (among the cartae baronum) for 30 knight's fees." [2], which cites [3]

1175 "The said Hubert Fitz-Raph in the Year 1175, [Ex Regist de Derley. p. 134] confirmed to these Canons the Land of Pentriz, and of Rippeie, and of Ulkerthorp,and that Land of Chilwell, which belonged to the said Manor of Pentriz, which Land his Father gave, Raph Fitz-Stephen afterwards granted, and divers other Things this Hubert gave them" [4] [5]

c 1187 "His lands were divided c 1187 between Henry de Stuteville, son of Leonia de Stuteville, a probable great-granddaughter of Hubert's great-grandfather Ralph fitz Hubert (g.v.), and Hubert fitz Ralph." [6]

"Hubert fitz Ralph was married twice, a fact referred to by his descendant Peter de Freschenville of Stavely in 1630 (BL Landsdowne 207f, p. 72). His first wife was Edeline, daughter of William fitz Ralph of Alwoldestone (son of Ralph fitz Geremund, q.v.), and his second wife was Sara. See Sanders, 38. Holdsworth, Rufford Charters, nos 144-145; Pipe Roll II Henry II, 87-ntdb" [7] [8]

"The gift to Darley Abbey of the church of S. Michael, by William Fitzralph, included the chapel of Alvaston. Geoffrey Alselin held the manor of Alvaston, as well as Elvaston, etc., at the time of the Domesday Survey, but by some means it soon afterwards passed to Fitzralph. His daughter, Edelina, was the first wife of Hubert Fitzralph, Baron of Crich, and brought to her husband the manor of Alvaston. Their daughter and heiress, Juliana, married Anker de Frecheville." [9]

"After his marriage to his second wife, Sara, Hubert [fitz Ralph] gave to the canons a villein and a bovate and a quarter in Chrich and half a bovate in the same village. He appears to have had no issue by his second wife." [10]

1215 "Near the end of his life, in or after 1215, he [Hubert] gave to the canons the advowson of the church of Scarcliff." [11]

1225 "Hubert Fitzralph, Baron of Crich and Lord of Scarcliffe and Palterton, died about the year 1225. By his first wife, Edelina, he left two daughters, his co-heiresses, the eldest of whom, Juliana, was married to Anker de Frecheville [12], but he [Anker] dying before his father-in-law, Crich passed to his son, Ralph de Frecheville." [13]

1225 "It is not known whether this Hubert was the same as the Hubert of 1166, only that he died in 1225, when his heir was his grandson Ralph fitz Anscher de Frescheville, who had been a minor in 1222 at the death of his mother Juliana, daughter of Hubert. The balance of probability is that the two Huberts were the same." [14] "Hubert Fitzralph, Baron of Crich and Lord of Scarcliffe and Palterton, died about the year 1225. By his first wife, Edelina, he left two daughters, his co-heiresses, the eldest of whom, Juliana, was married to Anker de Frecheville [15], but he dying before his father-in-law, Crich passed to his [Anker's] son, Ralph de Frecheville." [16]

"Only fifteen of the thirty knight's fees which Hubert fitz Ralph had in 1166 passed to the Frechevilles, for the barony had been divided between Hubert and the Stutevilles in his lifetime." [17]
