Upon the decease of William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex, much dispute arose regarding the inheritance: Beatrix, his aunt
and heir, in the first place, preferring her claim, sent Geoffrey de Say, her younger son, to transact the business
for the livery thereof, but Geoffrey FitzPiers insisted upon the right of Beatrix, his wife. Nevertheless, Geoffrey de
Say, in consideration of 7,000 marks promised to be paid on a certain day, obtained an instrument in right of his mother,
under the king's seal, for the whole of the barony, but the said Geoffrey de Say, making default of payment, this Geoffrey
FitzPiers, being a man of great wealth and reputation, made representation that the barony was the right of his wife and,
promising to pay the money, obtained livery thereof and procured the king's confirmation of his title. One of the earliest
acts of this feudal lord was to dispossess the monks of Walden of certain lands which they had derived from his
predecessors, a proceeding followed by a long controversy, which, after being referred to the Pope and the King, was finally
compromised. Upon the removal of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the office of Justice of England by Richard I,
this Geoffrey was appointed to succeed him, and at the coronation of King John, 26 June, 1199, he was girt with the sword
as Earl of Essex, and then served at the king's table. Being nominated patron of the monastery at Walden, he appears soon
after to have been received with great ceremony by the monks and perfectly reconciled to those holy fathers. In the 7th
King John, he had a grant of the castle and honour of Berkhamstead, with the knights' fees thereunto belonging to hold to
him and the heirs of his body, by Aveline, his 2nd wife. His lordship m. 1st, Beatrix de Say, by whom he had issue, Geoffrey,
William, Henry, all of whom assumed the name of Mandeville, and Maud, m. to Robert de Bohun. He m. 2ndly, Aveline ---,
and had an only son, John FitzPiers, Lord of Berkhamstead. His lordship, whom Matthew Paris characterizes as "ruling
the reins of government so that after his death the realm was like a ship in a tempest without a pilot," d. 2 October,
1213,
and was s. by his eldest son, Geoffrey de Mandeville. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages,
Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 353, Mandeville, Earls of Essex]
GEOFFREY FITZ PETER (d. 1213), earl of Essex and chief justiciar of England, was a sheriff, a justice itinerant and a justice
of the forest under Henry II. During Richard's absence on crusade he was one of the five justices of the king's court
who stood next in authority to the regent, Longchamp. In 1190 Fitz Peter succeeded to the earldom of Essex, in the right
of his wife, who was descended from the famous Geoffrey de Mandeville. In attempting to asset his hereditary rights over
Walden priory Fitz Peter came into conflict with Longchamp, and revenged himself by joining in the baronial agitation
through which the regent was expelled from his office. Though refusing to give him formal investiture of the Essex earldom,
Richard appointed him justiciar in succession to Hubert Walter (1198). Fitz Peter continued Walter's policy of encouraging
foreign trade and the development of the towns; many of the latter received, during his administration, charters of
self-government. He was continued in his office by John, who found him an able instrument of extortion. He profited to
no small extent by the spoliation of church lands in the period of the interdict. But he was not altogether trusted by the
king. The contemporary "Historie des ducs" described Fitz Peter as living in constant dread of disgrace and
confiscation. In the last years of his life he endeavoured to act as a mediator between the king and the opposition. It was
by his mouth
that the king promised to the nation the laws of Henry I. (at the council of St. Albans, Aug. 4, 1213). But Fitz Peter
died a few weeks later (Oct. 2). Fitz Peter was neither a far-sighted nor a disinterested statesman; but he was the ablest
pupil of Hubert Walter, and maintained the traditions of the great bureaucracy which the first and second Henries had
founded.

Geoffrey de Mandeville, who like his fellow (the 2nd (meaning Algernon Capell, 2nd Earl of Essex of the 1641 creation)) Earl
of Essex of the present creation was Constable of the Tower of London, was created Earl of Essex in 1140 by King
Stephen. He already held numerous manors in Berks, Bucks, Essex, Herts, and Middlesex, which had belonged to his grandfather,
another Geoffrey, at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086. The family originated in Normandy, but precisely where
is unclear, since there are several place names there akin to Mandeville (which seems originally to have been in Latin
'Magna Villa' or "Great Town"). De Mandeville later sided with the Empress Maud, who granted him a more generously
framed
charter, including a clause making the post of Constable of the Tower hereditary. Later still de Mandeville again sided
with Stephen but subsequently rebelled yet again. His son was recreated Earl of Essex by Maud in Jan 1155/6, the rebellious
habits of the father and perhaps also the appointive nature of earldoms at the time requiring a regrant.
After the death of the 3rd de Mandeville Earl, right to the title passed through a female branch but these descendants of
the original de Mandevilles took the old family name (Mandeville) and were recognised as Earls of Essex in the time of
King's John and Henry III. [Burke's Peerage, page 1004]
Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Essex, pp. 113-116), says that, for reasons that are somewhat obscure, KING STEPHEN,
made him Earl of Essex, then proceeds to detail Geoffrey's frequent switching of support for the EMPRESS MAUD and for KING
STEPHEN in their contest for the throne. About Oct 1143, he was accused of treason, but he ridiculed the charge. He was,
however, arrested and imprisoned until he surrendered his castles to avoid being hanged. He then broke into open revolt,
seized and fortified the Abbey of Ramsey, sacked Cambridge, and ravaged the fen country, until, when beseiging Burwell
Castle, having removed his headpice on account of the heat, he was mortally wounded by an arrow

The mother of Geoffrey Fitz Piers was Maud, wife of Piers de Lutegareshale. As far as I have been able to determine, there
was never any Maud de Mandeville at this point in the Mandeville pedigree until someone misread CP. I followed back the
references cited by Weis/Sheppard Magna Carta Sureties (later repeated in AR7) and they all either say nothing of the
sort, or else lead right to the CP Essex article. Nowhere in the text does it mention a Maud other than simply as wife of
Piers, and there it does not call her Maud de Mandeville nor provide any evidence of a connection. In the associated chart,
(and here's the rub) Piers, Maud, and her second husband are placed under the horizontal line which unites the children
of Geoffrey de Mandeville. This would, at first glance, appear to show Maud as Geoffrey's daughter (this applies to Maud,
but not Piers or his successor, because Maud is not given a surname). However, a closer look reveals that there is no
vertical line dropping down from the horizontal to connect her with Geoffrey: Geoffrey de Mandeville.
Maud was not intended by this to be represented as Geoffrey's daughter, but this appears to be the genesis of this mistaken
affiliation. As has been pointed out, it is clear that Geoffrey Fitz Piers came to hold Mandeville land, as well as the
Earldom of Essex, through his wife, who was granddaughter of Geoffrey de Mandeville's sister. This is best seen by the
fact that the land and titles descended to Bohun, to the exclusion of Geoffrey's son and male heir, John Fitz Geoffrey, son
by a second wife. So, no Mandeville land can be shown to have been held by Piers, or by Geoffrey prior to his marriage;
no Mandeville land descended to Geoffrey's (and hence Maud's) heir male; no document has been brought forward which claims
Maud, wife of Piers, was a Mandeville; no daughter or sister of an Earl of Essex would have been allowed to marry such
a lowly knight as Piers. No, Maud was not a Mandeville. [Ref: TAF 3 Apr 1998]
Maud de Mandeville was not daughter of Geoffrey and Rohese. This comes from a misreading of the chart of Essex in CP. She
is placed at the same level as Geoffrey's children, but there is no line connecting her with Geoffrey. Likewise, Piers was
a local forester, and never would have been given the daughter of someone of Geoffrey's status. Even if it were true,
her children would have been immediately elevated in status, but instead, Geoffrey Fitz Piers had to work his way up through
the king's household service. He was a "new man", and not the grandson of an Earl. [Ref: TAF 19 Apr 1998]
