Arnulf of Montgomery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnulf of Montgomery (c. 1068 - 1118/22) was an Anglo-Norman aristocrat, who played a role in the history of England, Wales, and Ireland.

He was the youngest son of Roger of Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Mabel of Bellême.

Around 1090 he along with his elder brother Robert built a castle at Pembroke in Wales. In 1093 king William II of England rewarded his efforts with the formal lordship of Pembroke; some historians say that he was in fact created Earl of Pembroke. In any case the lordship was smaller than the later Pembrokeshire.

His holdings were greatly expanded in 1096 when Rufus gave him the lordship of Holderness, which in addition to that part of Yorkshire included land in Lincolnshire.

It is likely that Arnulf had been designated heir of his brother Hugh of Montgomery, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury, but after Hugh's death in 1098 Arnulf was outmaneuvered by the eldest brother Robert, who became the 3rd earl of Shrewsbury. This caused some rift between the brothers but nevertheless Hugh participated in their rebellion of 1102 against Henry I of England which caused the loss of all theirEnglish and Welsh lands, and their banishment from the kingdom of England.

Arnulf turned his attention to Ireland, where not long before he had married Lafrocoth, daughter of the Irish king Muircheartach Ua Briain in about the year 1100, and certainly before 1102, when he ismentioned by Muirchertach as his son-in-law in a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury Anselm of Bec . Muirchertach provided support for Arnulf's rebellion, and as a result King Henry I of England placed a trade embargo on Ireland. It is suggested by Orderic Vitalis that Arnulf went to Ireland after the rebellion failed and served for Muirchertach Ua Briain, although the Irish Annals make no mention of this.

In later years he was in the entourage of count Fulk V of Anjou

-------------------------------------
ARNOLD DE MONTGOMERY who in the reign of William II with a party of knights invaded Pembrokeshire and conquered it; seems to have been created Earl of Pembroke; in the reign of Henry I erected a slender fortress at Penbrock, "the head of the estuary or brook adjoining the territory of Ros, and which is separated from it by an arm of the sea," and which, upon returning to England, he consigned to the care of Geraldus de Windsor, his Constable and Lieutenant-General, a worthy and discreet man and the ancestor of the Geraldines of Ireland; granted much land in Pembrokeshire to the mother church at St. Martin's at Seez; gave to St. Martin's the church of St. Nicholas, within the walls of the castle at Pembroke, in 1098, which was afterwards erected into a priory by William Mareschal; married Lapracoth, daughter of Murrough, King of Leinster (ped. 161), and appears to have played an important part in the wars between the Norwegians and the Irish; for a long time resided with Robert de Belesme but, having lost the whole of his estates through joining in his rebellion, he appears to have quarreled with him and to have gone over to the party of the Duke of Normandy, to whom he ceded the Castle of Almeneches, which he had taken by surprise, and collected about him many of his brother's partisans; the following year, notwithstanding his supposed forfeiture, he seems to have still been inpossession of his Welsh estates, for it is asserted that the Irish, terrified at the power of the Norwegian King, called in the aid of the Normans and that Arnold and the men of Pembroke hastened tobring them succor; at this time, apparently, Governor of Pembroke Castle in Milford Haven. The Irish entrapped the Norwegian King Magnus and killed him through treachery and even attempted to massacrethe Normans, resolving to kill Arnold as the reward of his allegiance, and the King actually carried off Arnold's wife, his own daughter, and married her to one of his own relations. Arnold discovered in time the treachery of the Irish and made his escape from the country and Ordericus relates that for twenty years afterwards he wandered abroad a homeless man. We hear again of Arnold in Normandyin 1118, when Stephen, Earl of Moreton, who held the Castle of Alencon for King Henry, so offended the inhabitants that they implored the aid of Fulk, Earl of Anjou. Arnold was their envoy on this occasion. Ordericus relates that, true to his early love, he rashly returned to ireland some twenty years after he was so badly treated there and became reconciled with the King, according to appearances, and married the princess of his love, from which it would seem that on the former occasion she had only been betrothed to him. "On the morrow of his nuptials he fell asleep after a banquet and, shortly expiring, left the guests to listen to funeral dirges instead of an epithalamium."

Nest (princess)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Nest verch Rhys (died after 1136) was a princess of Deheubarth who was renowned for her beauty. She was the daughter of Prince Rhys ap Tewdwr by his wife, Gwladys verch Rhiwallon.

After her father died in 1093, Deheubarth was conquerored by the Normans and King Henry I of England appointed himself her protector. Nest bore him a son, Henry FitzRoy. In 1100 King Henry decided tomarry her to one of his knights, Gerald of Windsor, whom he appointed castellan of Pembroke. Nest and Gerald had four children:

William FitzGerald (died 1173)
Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Lanstephen (died September 1, 1177)
David FitzGerald, Archdeacon of Cardigan and Bishop of St. David's
Angharad de Windsor

During Christmas 1109, Nest and her husband were visited by her cousin, Owain ap Cadwgan. Owain was so taken with Nest's beauty that he and fifteen companions attacked Cenarth Bychan, seized Nest, andcarried her off. This abduction earned her the nickname "Helen of Wales" because it led to civil war on a small scale. Nest bore to Owain two sons, Llywelyn and Einion, before finally being returnedto her husband. After Gerald's death, Nest became the lover of Stephen, constable of Cardigan, by whom she had another son, Robert FitzStephen.

Nest's daughter, Angharad, was the mother of historian Gerald of Wales. Her sons Maurice and Robert campaigned in Ireland with Strongbow; Robert died there in 1182. Nesta verch ("Princess of Deheubarth") Rhys, Princess of Deheubarth, had person sources.^1,2,3,4,8
