Bartholomew de Badlesmere and Margaret de Clare were great-great grandparents of Henry V.

"He was appointed one of the peers to regulate the royal household in 1310. [...] In Feb. 1316 he was sent to suppress the rebellion of Llewelyn, Prince of Wales. He was one of those appointed as amabassador to Amadeus of Savoy in Dec. 1316. He was appointed ambassador to the Pope in Jan. 1317. In 1319 he and Hugh Despenser the younger were appointed to reform the state of the Duchy of Aquitaine, and to remove all officers there as were unable to fulfill their duties. [...] In March 1320 he was appointed ambassador to the King of France and to the Pope. In Jan. 1321 he was among those who were sent to treat for peace with Robert de Brus, King of Scots. [...] In 1321 he joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster. In October 1321, while residing at Leeds Castle with her children, his wife, Margaret, refused Queen Isabel admission to the castle. The castle was immediately taken by the king. His wife, Margaret, and their son, Giles, were taken prisoners and conveyed to the Tower of London. A writ was issued to the Sheriff of Gloucestershire to arrest him 26 Dec. 1321. He and other rebellious barons attacked and burned the town of Bridgnorth in Shropshire. SIR BARTHOLOMEW DE BADLESMERE, 1st Lord Badlesmere, fought on the rebel side of the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1322. He was subsequently captured at Stow Park, attainted, and hanged as a traitor at Canterbury, Kent 14 April 1322." [Royal Ancestry]

"Bartholomew of Badlesmere. of Badlesmere and Chilham Castle, Kent, s. and h. of Guncelin or Gunselm B., of Badlesmere afsd., Justice of Chester, was excused from service in the war in Gascony (1294) 22 Edw.

(1309) 3 Edw. II, to 15 May (1321) 14 Edw. II, was sum. to Parl. by writs directed Bartholomeo de Badlesmere whereby he may be held to have become Lord Badlesmere. He obtained a grant of the Castle of Leeds in Kent, and in (1314-15) 8 Edw. II, was made Governor of Skipton Castle, and of all the castles in Yorkshire and Westmorland whereof Robert de Clifford had d. seized. He was also Steward of the King's Household. Notwithstanding the many favours he had received, he joined the Earl of Lancaster in his rebellion, and was defeated with him at Boroughbridge, 16 Mar. 1322, captured at Stow Park, attainted, and hung as a traitor at Canterbury, 14 Apr. 1322. He is described in the contemporary Boroughbridge Roll as a Banneret. He m., before 30 June 1308, Margaret, widow of Gilbert de Umfreville (who d. before 23 May 1303, s. and h. ap. of Gilbert 8th Earl of Angus), aunt and coh. of Thomas de Clare, Steward of the Forest of Essex, da. of Thomas de C., by Julian, (not Amy), da. of Sir Maurice fitz Maurice, Lord Justice of Ireland. He d. as afsd, 1322. His widow, notorious for having refused the Queen admission to the Royal Castle of Leeds in the summer of 1321, was besieged therein by Edward II, and being captured with the Castle on 1 1 Nov. following, was imprisoned in the Tower of London, but was released 3 Nov. 1322, and after staying some time at the Minorites without Aldgate, at the King's charge (2s. a day), had leave to go to her friends, 1 July 1324. She, who was aged 40 in Mar. 1326/7, had dower on lands at Castlecombe, Wilts, &c., and d. late in 1333." [Complete Peerage I:371-72, as corrected by Volume XIV.]

She subsequently retired to the convent house of the Minorite Sisters without Aldgate, and had two shillings per day allowed for her maintenance. In 1327 she petitioned the king and council, stating that while she was in the king's prison, Robert de Welles, husband of her younger sister, Maud de Clare, with the aid and maintenance of Hugh de Despenser, had the lands of their Clare inheritance assessed, and took Maud's share, both in England and Ireland; Margaret requested that the division be made again, according to the assessments returned in Chancery, and that she might have her choice of her share, as she is the elder sister, which request was granted."

Pardoned in 1313, along with his son Eudes, for their involvement in the death of Piers Gaveston.

"His opposition to Edward II's government included involvement in the summary execution of Piers Gaveston in 1312, for which his proposed pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1317 may have been intended as an act of atonement. William's talents, however, were expressed mainly through military exploits. From 1301 he saw frequent service against the Scots. He also campaigned in Ireland and Gascony and had, too, experience in the law. In May 1330 he was justice in eyre in Derbyshire but had to be replaced before the end of the month because of ill health. Although his disease was believed to be incurable, he did recover, and continued to play a role in local administration and on the king's council (1337)." [Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]

Notes:

"Robert Tybotot, son and heir, born 1228, did homage and on 23 January 1249/50 was given seisin of his lands in Essex. On 3 May 1254 he was granted protection to go to Gascony, but is not further mentioned until 13 May 1260, when he was granted a rent in Eston, near Grantham, by the Lord Edward, who also gave him, 10 May 1263, all the manor of Nettlestead, Suffolk. In April 1262 he was ordered to return Shopland to the heir of Baldwin de Ostewic and he witnessed a deed of John de Burgo, 4 July following. During the conflict between the Crown and Simon de Montfort Robert Tybotot was a staunch supporter of the Lord Edward. After the defeat of the King at Lewes on 14 May 1264, he was among those supporters of the Crown who held Bristol against the Earl of Leicester. His name appears, in July 1264, among those who were said to be coming to aid the King, he joined in a raid to rescue the Lord Edward from imprisonment in Wallingford Castle, and in September 1264 he and others were ordered to surrender control of the castles of Marlborough and Ludgershall. In December 1264 Simon de Montfort and the Earl of Gloucester led an army against Bristol, but when the town surrendered Robert and his associates were allowed to establish themselves in Salisbury Castle, and the Earl of Leicester was forced to compromise with the garrison of Salisbury. In February 1264/5 Robert Tybotot and a companion were granted safe conduct to come to the King's household, and in the following March Robert and other persons were granted protection, provided that they did not join the King or the Lord Edward unless requested to do so by the King's Council which was controlled by Simon de Montfort. During the period of unrest after the battle of Evesham, 4 August 1265, Robert seized many lands which were later restored to their rightful tenants. However, when peace was finally restored his faithfulness to the Crown was rewarded. In October 1265 he was given the house of Philip le Taylur in the City of London, in the following month he became lord of Carbrooke, Norfolk, and in January and August 1266 the manors of Allesley and Fillongley, co. Warwick, Carlton Castle and Caenby, Lincs, passed under his control. Constable of Porchester Castle, November 1265 to April 1266. He was granted timber in 1267, received rights of free warren on his demesne lands, March 1268/9, and obtained control of Kingsbury, co. Warwick, October 1269. In February 1269/70 he became guardian of the lands of Geoffrey Lutterel in place of the £30 annual rent which he had been receiving from Bristol; and the manor of Streethall, Essex, also passed to his control. On 13 July 1270 he was among those who were granted protection for 4 years to accompany the Lord Edward on the Crusade, arrangements were made for the care of his heirs if he should die and attorneys were appointed to act during his absence. When he returned, the Archbishop of Canterbury was ordered by the Pope, 29 April 1273, to pay him 600 silver marks towards his Crusade expenses. In January 1274/5 he was appointed Constable of Nottingham Castle and Keeper of the forest of Bestwood, offices which he held until his death, and in September 1279 he became Keeper of the town of Nottingham. King Edward granted him many favours. In May 1275 he became guardian of the lands and heirs of John de Moese, and in September of the lands of Lucy de Meinill; he was granted the marriage of the heir of John de Mohun, July 1279, and obtained possession of the manors of Langar and Barnston, Notts, in 1285. He was named in October 1275 to supervise the collection of the fifteenth in Norfolk and Suffolk; was one of the Keepers of the Bishopric of Norwich in 1278; and in July 1279 he was ordered to enquire in Norfolk and Suffolk concerning those who were spreading evil rumours about the King. He was one of the keymen of the conquest and administration of Wales. In November 1276 he attended the Council which decided to declare war against Llewelyn; and in November 1277 he was one of the English representatives to negotiate the peace of Conway, to swear to the English observance of the peace and to conduct Llewelyn to meet Edward at Rhuddlan. He was summoned for service in Wales in 1277 and 1282; was at Westminster, September 1278, when Alexander, King of Scotland, did homage to Edward I; and was at Acton Burnell, Salop, Michaelmas 1283, when the Statute of Acton Burnell was promulgated. From 8 June 1281 till his death he was guardian of the King's lands and castles in West Wales and Justice of West Wales. He was nearly captured in March 1282, when the castles of Llandovery and Carreg Cennen, co. Carmarthen, fell to the Welsh. In the same month he was appointed captain of West Wales, but on 10 April 1282 he was placed under the command of the Earl of Gloucester there and in March 1283 he was ordered to serve against the Welsh in Merionethshire. The rebellion of Rhys ap Maredudd of Dryslwyn and Dinefwr in 1287-88 was crushed by Robert, who captured Newcastle Emlyn in January 1287/8. After the rebellion Maredudd ap Richard ap Maredudd of Elfed appeared before him to submit to the King. In June 1288 or 1289 Robert resisted the attempt of the Earl of Pembroke to seize the commote of Ystlwyf and in 1292 he granted the commote of Mallaen and Kylsaen to the sons of Madoc ap Arandor. Although there is no evidence of him being summoned to Parliament, he was present in pleno parliamento on 29 May 1290, when consent was given for the levy of an aid, and he was ad parliamentum to which the men of Yarmouth complained in the same year. In 1291 he was one of the mainperners for the Earl of Hereford in the dispute with the Earl of Gloucester and he was summoned for service against the Scots, 1291 and 1297. He attended the meeting at Berwick-on-Tweed, October 1292, to decide the claims of Bruce or Balliol to the Scottish throne, was at Tuggrall, Northumberland, December following, when the Great Seal passed to the care of John de Langton, and witnessed the homage, of Balliol to Edward I at Newcastle-on-Tyne, 26 December 1292. In June 1294 he was granted protection to proceed with the King to Gascony and mustered at Portsmouth, August following. During the expedition he was director of finance and one of the councillors of John of Brittany, King's Lieutenant in Gascony. He acted with John de St. John, Seneschal of Gascony, on diplomatic missions and was appointed to conduct negotiations with the King of Castile. In 1295 he just managed to escape from the town of Risonces, when it was captured by the French, and he remained in royal service in southern France until the end of 1297." [Complete Peerage XII/2: 89-93]

Robert married Eve de Chaworth before 18 Oct 1269. Eve (daughter of Patrick de Chaworth and Hawise de London) was born in 1252; died before 14 Jun 1300. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 14 Jun 1300
• Alternate death: Bef 30 Aug 1300

Notes:

"Dugdale, Baronage, Vol. ii, p. 38, says that Eve was daughter of Payn de Chaworth, but he gives no proof. Payn was a close associate of Robert during the wars against Simon de Montfort, he was with Robert in the Crusade and the name Payn was borne by Roberts 2nd son. Payn was, however, aged only 13 or 14 in 1258 and d. s.p. or s.p.s. before 20 September 1279, when his brother Patrick was his heir. Assuming a Chaworth marriage, it seems likely that Eve was Payn's sister and daughter of Patrick Chaworth by his wife Hawise de Londres. In a ped. of Tybotot in Thoroton's Notts, Vol. i. pp. 203-04, Robert's wife is called Eve, daughter of P . . . de Chaworth. In the Visitation of Notts, Harl. Society, p. 124, Eve, daughter of Patrick and sister of Payn and Patrick Chaworth, Lords of Kidwelly, appears as the wife of Sir John (sic) Tiptofte. Payn himself mentions his sister Eve in a grant made by him, Trin. 1270, to the monks of Blanchland, in South Wales. In April 1283 Robert made a grant to Mottisfont Priory, Hants, of which the Chaworth family held patronage. The grant is sealed with the arms a saltire lozengy, legend 'S. Roberti de Tibotot'. He bore silver, a saltire engrailed gules." [Complete Peerage XII/2: 93]

Notes:

Or Gunselm. Justice of Chester and Cheshire, 16 Oct 1274 to 1281. Custodian of Chester Castle.

His wife is frequently given as Joan Fitzbernard, daughter of Ralph Fitzbernard of Kingsdown, Kent, probably due to the statement to that effect in CP I, p. 372. However, CP V (p. 403, note b) states "Nor is anything known about the wife of Guncelin, father of Bartholomew de Badelesmere." CP XIV, p. 57, correcting volume I, notes the latter passage.

"He joined his brother, Gilbert, against King Henry III and was knighted by Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, before the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264. He subsequently deserted the baronial cause with his brother, Earl Gilbert. In May 1265 Thomas arranged the gift of a speedy horse to Prince Edward, by means of which Prince Edward escaped from Simon de Montfort at Hereford. Thomas fought for the king at the Battle of Evesham 4 August 1265. In 1267 he took the cross at St. Paul's, London, being moved by the preaching of the papal legate, Ottobuono. [...] He went on crusade to the Holy Land with Prince Edward in 1271, and returned in 1272." [Royal Ancestry]

This Thomas de Clare was identified in early volumes of the Complete Peerage as a son of Sir Richard de Clare d. 1262, and then removed in volume 14 in the articles on Badlesmere and Clare. Despite this, it appears to be correct; Chris Phillips lays out the details here.

(who d. before 14 Oct. 1257), by Agnes, da. of Sir Geoffrey de Neville, of Raby, co. Durham. The King took his homage, though he was still a minor, on or before 8 Jan. 1268/9. He was in the Army of Wales in 1277, 1282, and 1294, and in the Army of Scotland in 1299. He was sum. for Military Service from 16 Apr. (1291) 19 Edw. I to 1 May (1325) 18 Edw.

He did homage for his lands in Burnby, co. York, to three successive Archbishops of York, 1299, 18 July 1300, and 3 May 1310. As Edmundus de Eyncourt dominus de Thurgerton, he took part in the Barons' Letter to the Pope, 12 Feb. 1300/1. He was one of those ordered, 3 Sep. 1312, to prohibit the Earl of Lancaster and others from repairing to the King with horses and arms. By a fine, levied in the octaves of St. Michael II Edw.

He m. Isabel, da. of Sir Reynold de Mohun, of Dunster, Somerset, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, da. of William (de Ferrers), Earl of Derby. He d. 6 Jan. 1326/7.

*****

Note that despite CP's assertion that he married "Isabel, da. of Sir Reynold de Mohun, of Dunster, Somerset, by his 2nd wife, Isabel, da. of William (de Ferrers), Earl of Derby," there is no clear evidence that this Isabel was the mother of his children. Moreover, Royal Ancestry doesn't even list an Isabel among the children of Reynold de Mohun and Elizabeth de Ferrers.

Notes:

In this 2010 post to SGM, Douglas Richardson notes that most historical reference works before 1900 placed this Eudes la Zouche a generation later, as a younger son of Alan la Zouche and his wife Ellen de Quincy. Richardson further notes that some descendants of this Eudes la Zouche included Quincy arms among their quarterings, presumably because they believed themselves to be descended from Ellen. But Complete Peerage volume 12 (2) (1959) places Eudes as a younger brother, not a son, of Alan la Zouche, like him a son of Sir Roger la Zouche and his wife Margaret. Citing a 1262 Patent Rolls entry that refers to "Eudo la Zouche, brother of the said Alan," and noting that the record shows Eudes to have been continually active from 1251 to 1279, Richardson goes on to argue that Complete Peerage was in fact correct.

Note also that the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography ("Zouche [de la Zouche] family, magnates") agrees with this placement of Eudes la Zouche.

"As a younger son Eudo sought advancement through royal service, which he had already entered before 1254 when he escorted Queen Eleanor to join Henry III in Gascony. He associated with the Lord Edward in the late 1250s when he acted as witness to the prince's charters. Furthermore, during disturbances in the Welsh marches in 1262 he was entrusted with the defence of Edward's castles in Cheshire. Eudo's continuing support for the royal cause in the barons' war is suggested by his summons in arms to the king at Windsor in 1263. Royal service notwithstanding it was Eudo's marriage in 1268 to Millicent (d. 1299), widow of John de Montalt and sister and coheir of Sir George de Cantilupe (1251–1273), which established the family's landed fortune." [Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]

Regarding the date of his marriage to Millicent de Cantelow, Patricia Junkin says here that he "was married to Millicent Cantilupo by 1262 when he is given livery of her lands, including Baseford."

In a post to SGM on 22 Feb 2017, Douglas Richardson notes that "Eudes la Zouche and his brother, Henry la Zouche, served as manucaptors (or sureties) for their niece, Joyce, daughter and heiress of William la Zouche, in 1272-3. Reference: LTR Memoranda Rolls, E368no46, image 2128 (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/E1/E368no46/IMG_2128.htm). For evidence that Henry la Zouche was the brother of William la Zouche, see Jenkinson & Formoy, Select Cases in the Exchequer of Pleas (Selden Soc. 48) (1932): 80–81."

This couple were ancestors of President Rutherford B. Hayes.

"In 1277, being then a knight, he served for his father in the campaign in Wales, and in 1287 was going into Wales on the King's service with the Earl of Gloucester, when he was accompanied by his illegitimate elder brother, John Lovel of Snorscombe.

He was summoned to the campaign in Scotland in 1298, in which Edward defeated Wallace at Falkirk, but did not serve; summonses to serve in person were continued till his death. In 1301, as lord of Docking, he joined in the Barons' letter to the Pope. From March 1302/3 he was again in Scotland on the King's service, and his wife with him. In July 1304 it was 'the nobleman, Sir John Lovel, knight,' to whom Sir William Oliphant surrendered the keys of Stirling Castle after the fierce three months' siege. In November following he had licence to crenellate his mansion of Titchmarsh. In 1306 he was lieutenant of the Earl Marshal of England.

From Complete Peerage XII/2: 88-89:

The name Tybotot does not appear in the records before June 1204, when Walter, father of Robert Tybotot, a tenant in co. Leicester, is mentioned. Walter was one of the King's enemies at this time, for in July following the sheriff of co. Leicester was ordered to grant possession of Walter's lands to his overlord, the Earl of Derby. The date of Walter's death is not known. In 1209 Robert Tybotot was one of the knights of the King's household in the army of Scotland, and in September 1216 the release from captivity of Robert Tybotot, knight of the Earl of Derby, was ordered. There is no proof of the parentage of this Robert Tybotot, but the fact that he was a tenant of the Earl of Derby suggests that he may be the son of Walter, who was a tenant of the same Earl.

HENRY TYBOTOT was probably of the same family. In May 1217 John de Boterel and Henry Tybotot were granted the lands of Adam Painel in Yorks and Lincs, and in 1223 the sheriff of co. Leicester was ordered to seize the lands of Henry Tybotot, who had attended a tournament against the King's will. Henry Tybotot had connections with Essex as early as Apr. 1228, and in Sep. 1229 he was granted custody of the lands and heir of William de Haye in that county. He was given timber from Essex to build a mill and a house in 1232 and 1233; and in Apr. 1233 he was granted the manor of Shopland, Essex, to keep him in the King's service. Henry, who may have served in Ireland during the reign of King John, was granted protection, Oct. 1229, for the expedition which was to go to Brittany and in Apr. follg. he crossed to France with the King. In May 1234 he was among those asked to supply a knight for service in Brittany. He m. Alda and d. some time before 26 Dec. 1241. Alda survived him but the date of her death is not known.

From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography:

Richard de Clare was a minor at the time of his father's death, and heir to one of the greatest collections of estates and lordships in all of England and Wales. His wardship and marriage were thus matters of the keenest interest to the politically powerful and ambitious of the day. The justiciar Hubert de Burgh, using his position in the government of Henry III, managed to have custody of Richard assigned to himself. On Hubert's fall from power in 1232, the king transferred custody of both Richard and his lands to the new royal favourites, Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester, and his nephew Peter des Rivaux. Hubert de Burgh's wife, in an apparent effort to rescue the family fortunes, secretly married Richard de Clare to her daughter Margaret; but the marriage was apparently never consummated, and was in any event mooted by Margaret's death in 1237. In the meantime both Peter des Roches and Peter des Rivaux had themselves fallen from power in 1234, and thereafter King Henry kept the wardship in his own hands, although allowing custody of at least some of the Clare lands to be secured by Richard de Clare's uncle Gilbert Marshal, earl of Pembroke. During this time the king began searching for a suitable marriage. A proposed arrangement with the great French comital family, the Lusignans, fell through, and in 1238 Richard de Clare was married to Maud, daughter of John de Lacy, earl of Lincoln. The prime mover in the marriage negotiations seems to have been the king's brother, Richard of Cornwall, who was Richard de Clare's stepfather, having married the widowed Isabel Marshal in 1231. Notwithstanding his marriage Clare remained the ward of the king until 1243, when he came of age and received both official seisin of his inheritance and formal dubbing to knighthood.

The complexities, intricacies, and rivalries involved in the story of Richard de Clare's wardship are an excellent case study of the stakes and resources at issue when contemplating the lives of the upper aristocracy in the thirteenth century. A connection to Richard de Clare was a prize well worth pursuing at full tilt. His inheritance was vast. [...] Richard de Clare was, by every criterion--annual income (close to £4000), knight's fees (nearly 500), and both the sheer number of and the strategic location of his estates and lordships--easily the richest and potentially the most powerful baron, next to the members of the immediate royal family, in the British Isles (excluding Scotland) as a whole.

From Wikipedia:

He joined in the Barons' letter to the Pope in 1246 against the exactions of the Curia in England. He was among those in opposition to the King's half-brothers, who in 1247 visited England, where they were very unpopular, but afterwards he was reconciled to them.

In August 1252/3 the King crossed over to Gascony with his army, and to his great indignation the Earl refused to accompany him and went to Ireland instead. In August 1255 he and John Maunsel were sent to Edinburgh by the King to find out the truth regarding reports which had reached the King that his son-in-law, Alexander III, King of Scotland, was being coerced by Robert de Roos and John Balliol. If possible, they were to bring the young King and Queen to him. The Earl and his companion, pretending to be two of Roos's knights, obtained entry to Edinburgh Castle, and gradually introduced their attendants, so that they had a force sufficient for their defense. They gained access to the Scottish Queen, who made her complaints to them that she and her husband had been kept apart. They threatened Roos with dire punishments, so that he promised to go to the King.

Meanwhile the Scottish magnates, indignant at their Castle of Edinburgh's being in English hands, proposed to besiege it, but they desisted when they found they would be besieging their King and Queen. The King of Scotland apparently traveled South with the Earl, for on 24 September they were with King Henry III at Newminster, Northumberland."

In July 1258 Richard de Clare and his brother William both fell ill. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes contemporary reports that this was due to an attempted poisoning, "supposedly instigated by King Henry's uncle, William de Valence, earl of Pembroke, in retaliation for Clare's support of the baronial reform movement; and Valence's purported agent in the plot, Clare's seneschal, Walter de Scoteny, was tried and hanged." William died, but Richard survived with the loss of his hair and nails. In 1259 Richard was appointed chief ambassador to the Duke of Brittany, presumably in hopes of frightening the duke by sending a hairless, nailless creature to his court. Three years later, Richard died at Ashenfield, Waltham, Kent, on the 15th, the 16th, or the 22nd of July 1262. It was again bruited about that he had been poisoned, this time by the Queen's uncle Peter of Savoy, but the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, noting that "the annals of Tewkesbury Abbey are the single most valuable literary source for the reconstruction of [de Clare] family history for this period", points out that "the silence of the Tewkesbury account on this point strongly indicates that such rumours were unfounded."

In a perfectly medieval series of postmortem events, Richard de Clare's body was borne to the Cathedral Church of Christ at Canterbury, where his entrails were buried before the altar of St. Edward the Confessor; it was then taken to the Collegiate Church of Tonbridge, Kent, where his heart was buried; finally, what remained of his body was taken to Tewkesbury Abbey in Gloucestershire where it was buried in the choir at his father's right hand.
