fictional novel about the life and times of Roger de Lacy for publication.The following
account is
true, as
based upon available documentation of this most remarkable man of
medieval
history.John, his father was in charge of Dublin, Ireland,
in 1181,
during the period that Hugh de Lacy was Governor (Lord Palantine)
of
Ireland.Prior to his
death John de
Lacy founded Stanlaw Abbey and the hospital of Castle Denington
about 1172.He waged a ruthless war against the Welsh, his
very name
striking fear into the men of Cambria.Robert II de Lacy had fought by the side of King Henry II and his
son,
Prince John, in Normandy.Roger exerted great energies developing the Baronage (Pontefract)
and
prospered.He employed at minimum a steward, general manager, a
bailiff, a
cook whose name was Ranulf, a dispenser, two chamberlains and a
chapel
overseer.By this action the Chancellor unwittingly
contributed to the
deaths of two of the King's knights.Roger's
fierce de Lacy spirit engaged, he ordered them hanged forthwith.In revenge
of this aggressive action by the Baron, John then ordered Roger's
lands
ransacked and plundered.Afterward, in 1199, Roger warily swore
fealty to
King John upon his ascension to the throne.In November 1200, Roger was chartered by King John to escort
William the
Lion of Scotland to Lincoln and was then ordered present in court
when
William gave tribute and allegiance to King John.Later in 1201,
Roger was
summoned to command 100 knights alongside of William Marshall,
the Earl of
Pembroke, to defend Normandy and all of John's Norman possessions
against
the aggression of the King of France.Intrigue pervaded the court of the King behind the scenes
involving the
politics of the day, medieval though it was.In private he much preferred the tenderness of the
fair maidens a
habit which seemed to often interfere with duties of being the
warrior King.Castle Gaillard in Normandy.Having has his forged will taken to Hell and back at Castle
Gaillard against
the armies of King Philip of Normandy himself, when everyone else
had
abandoned King John, and then with no promise of any reward or
the sparing
of his life, who could then deny Roger the sole rights to all of
Pontefract?There is the record still preserved of all of King John's losses
to Roger
detailed in the royal calendars "in Ludo ad tabulas to Rogerii de
Laici".The
confident
but concerned Earl would send for no other than Roger de Lacy to
hasten with
aid to his defense.Lacy
banner of the
Purple Lion, became wildly panic stricken and fled incontinent!In rightful
commemoration of this event Roger duly received "jurisdiction"
over these
"professionals" and hence the saying "Roger, and by all the
fiddlers of
Chester".Roger of Hell remained on intimate terms with King John to the
end and so
due to the great favor of the two, the lasting record of all the
King's
losses to him preserved.Chester
was later
erected into a Palatine by the King for his kinsman Hugh lupus,
like the
Earldom of Meath in Ireland had been erected for the great Hugh
de Lacy in
1172.Recorded in the Royal calendars are the successors of the

much
recorded information about the de Lacys.Too bad you left it
out.In addition, Hugh de Lacy, began the task of building the Trim
castle
(the English named for the land designation).Regretably, history does not name the Irish man
that stood
up for the others, all so angry about stealing stones from a

build a castle, thus, one day while inspecting the work, the

landed at Waterford with a train of four hundred knights.Among these
was Hugh de Lacy, a Norman by descent, and high in the favour and
confidence of the king.In his arrangements for the purpose of counterbalancing the rising
power of Strongbow, we have mentioned already that Henry raised several
of his knights into power and possession: amongst these De Lacy was the
foremost.Brefni, which we have now to record.O'Ruark was a party in every contest and confederacy by which the
English might be unfixed from their acquisitions.It was instantly answered by the sudden appearance of an
armed party who came rapidly up the hill.So rapid was their approach that De Lacy, whose back was turned, was
taken by surprise.Gerald, whom the
chance of the struggle brought near.Griffith and his gallant party were now on the spot, and the assailants
were endeavouring to escape.His party was then attacked and put to flight with
some slaughter.His death removed a serious obstacle to the ambition of
De Lacy.This incident occurred in 1173.His government had,
however, given satisfaction.He had preserved order, and materially
strengthened the English settlement.Dermot, Leighlin, Leix, Delvin,
Carlow, Tullaghphelim, and Kilkay.In three months after, therefore, he was restored, and, as well as we
can collect, continued till 1184.He was during this time as active and
efficient as at first, and raised forts as numerous in Leinster as
before in Meath.It was during this interval that the
romantic career of John de Courcy commenced under the auspices of De
Lacy, to whose government his military prowess was an efficient
support.It was his custom to
superintend, and occasionally to take part in the work, a practice
explained by the rough and manly habits of his age, when all sorts of
physical exertion were familiar in the highest rank.De Lacy stooped down, either in
explaining his orders, or to make some exertion, he seized the
occasion, and with a blow struck off his head.There is some difference
among historians as to the identity of the
native chief concerned in this adventure.The Cambridge Handbook of Phonology (2007).Hugh I de Lacy b abt 1010, prob Normandy.Lord of Pontefract, b abt 1036, prob Normandy, d abt 1093.She md Robert de Lisours abt 1113, son of Fulk de Lisours and Albreda.Lord of Weobley, b abt 1042, prob Normandy, d 27 Mar 1085.He md Ermeline abt 1066.Children of Walter de Lacy and Ermeline were:
