On 1 January 1187/8 he was knighted at Caen by the King. Fr om 1189 till his divorce from her in 1199 he, in right of h is wife Constance, widow of Geoffrey, Earl of Richmond, sty led himself EARL OFRICHMOND and also DUKE OF BRITTANY. I n 1194 he was Commander of the Forces for Richard I, at who se second Coronation, 17 April 1194, he bore the "Curtana, " one of the three swords of State. From 1209 to 1214. he e ngaged in warfare with the Welsh. He was faithful to King J ohn against the rebellious Barons, being one of the few wit nesses, ex Rare Regis, to the Charter of 15 June 1215, in w hich year he was Gov. of Newcastle-under-Lyme; Gov. of th e Peak Castle and Forest, and Custos of the fief of the gre at Earldom of Leicester; Sheriff of the counties of Lancast er, Stafford and Salop;Steward of the Honour of Lancaster , &c.

In Apr il 1229 he opposed in Parliament the grant of a tenth to th e Pope, and absolutely forbade its collection in his own do main. From October 1230 to July 1231 he was Chief Commande r of the Royal troops in Brittany, &C., and in June 1231 wa s a joint Commissioner to treat with France. He resigned th e Earldom of Lincoln, between April 1231 and his death, t o his sister Hawise, to whose son-in-law (John de Lacy) i twas, 22 November 1232, confirmed.

He died at Wallingford, shortly before 27 October, and wa s buried 3 November 1232, with great pomp, in the chapter H ouse at St. Werburg's, Chester, his heart being interred a t Dieulacres Abbey. Hisgreat estates passed to his four si sters, and coheirs or their descendants while the Earldom l apsed to the Crown. His widow, who had dower in 1233, survi ved him 20 years, and died 1252.

Ralph de Monthermer was born about 1268 in Acre, Hazafon, Palestine.1 He and Joan of Acre Plantagenet were married in 1297 in Akko, Hazafon, Isreal.2,3 He died on 5 April 1325, at age ~57, in Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.2
Ralph de Monthermer, "a plain Esquire," having m. the Lad y Joane Plantagenet (commonly called Joane of Acre), dau. o f King Edward I and widow of Gilbert, Earl of Clare, Glouce ster, and Hertford, in her right, and was summoned to parli ament as "Comiti Gloucester' et Hertf." from 6 February, 12 99 to 3 November, 1306. In the 26th Edward I [1298], his lo rdship was in the expedition then made into Scotland, and b ehaved so valiantly that the king rendered to him and his w ife, the said Joane, the castle and honour of Tonebruge wit h other lands in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, as also the Isl eof Portland and divers other estates belonging to the sai d Joane, which had been seized by the crown in consequenc e of her marriage without license with the said Ralph, an d the king became eventually much attached to his son-in-la w, to whom he had been reconciled through the intercessio n of Anthony Bek, the celebrated bishop of Durham. In the 3 1st, 32nd, and 34th of his father-in-law [1203,1304, and 1 306], the earl was again in Scotland and in the contest wit h Bruce. King Edward conferred upon him the whole of Ananda le with the title of Earl of Atholl, the Scottish noblema n who heldthat dignity having espoused the fortunes of Bru ce, but it was not long after that that Joane of Acre depar ted this life (viz., 1st Edward II), and he never, subseque ntly, obtained the title of Earl of Gloucester and Hertfor d although he lived for several years; in a grant of consid erable landed property made to him and his sons in two year s afterwards, he is styled Ralph de Monthermer only. Nor i s he otherwise denominated in the 5th Edward II [1312], a t which time, for recompense of his service in Scotland, th e king gave him 300 marks, part of the 600 marks which he w as to have paid for the wardship of John ap Adam, a great m an of that age. Nor in two years afterwards, when again i n the wars of Scotland, he was made prisoner at Bannockburn , but he then found favour from hisformer familiarity wit h the King of Scotland, at the court of England, and obtain ed his freedom without paying ransom. He was, however, summ oned to parliament as a Baron from 4 March, 1309, to 30 Oct ober, 1321. His lordship m. 2ndly, Isabel, widow of John d e Hastings, and sister and co-heir of Aymer de Valence, Ear l of Pembroke, by whom he had no issue. By his first wife , the Princess Joane, he had two sons, viz., Thomas, his he ir; Edward, who was summoned to parliament as a Baron, 23 A pril, 1337, 11th Edward III, but never afterwards, and noth ing further is known of him or his descendants.
