NOTES
1). The earliest notice of this family occurs in the time of Henry I., when Gilbert Mareschall, and John, his son , were impleaded by Robert de Venoiz, and William de Hastings , for the office of Mareschel to the king , but without success . The son bearing the same surname, derived from his office , John Mareschall, attaching himself to the fortunes of Maud, against King Stephen , was with Robert , the consul, Earl of Gloucester., at the siege of the Winchester Castle, when the party of the empress sustained so signal a defeat. Upon the accession of Henry II., however, his fidelity was amply rewarded by considerable grants in co. Wilts and in the 10th year of that reign, being then marshal, he laid claim, for the crown, to one of the manor s of the see of Canterbury, from the celebrated prelate, Thomas a Becket, who about that period had commenced his contest with the king. This John was succeeded by his son and heir, John Mareschall , to whom King Henr y II. confirmed the office of marshal , and the lands which he held of the crown of England, and elsewhere. At the coronation of Richard I., the John Mareschal l bore the great gilt purs, and the same year obtained a grant from the crown of the manor of Boseham, in Sussex, in fee farm, paying 42 pounds yearly, to the exchequer with other extensive lordships. He died soon after, and it appear s with out issue, for his brother , William Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke, succeeded as his heir. We now come to then ephew of the said William , E arl of Pembroke, Sir Jo h n Marsh al, who married Aliva, e l der daughter and co he i r of Huber t de Rie, feudal lor d o f Hingham, co. Norfol k , by whom he a cquired that lord ship . Espousing the cau s e of King John aga inst the baron s, Si r John Marshal ac qui red from the crown , all the for feite d lands of the E arl o f Evreux, in England , as als o the lan ds of Hugh d e Gornay , lying in the countie s o f Norfolk an d Suffolk , whereof t he said Hugh was posses s ed when he des erte d the royal ban ner and he likewise o btai ned a gran t i n fee, of the offi ce of Marshal of Irel and. H e was s ubsequ ently, in the sam e reign, constitute d guardia n o f the marc hes of Wales, an d sheriff of Linco lnshire, a n d afterward s joined with Joh n Fitz Robert, i n the sher iffal ty of th e cos. of Norfol k and Suffolk, an d the cus tody of t he cast les of Norwic h and Orford. He w as likew ise made gove rnor o f Dorcheste r Castle moreover , he ha d the same year , liver y of the o ffice of marsha l of Ire land, and whatsoeve r di d appertai n thereto so t hat h e should appoint a knigh t t o execut e its duties eff ectu ally. Continuing steadfas t i n his all egiance to Kin g Jo hn, he was made sheriff of W orce stershi re, and gover no r of the castle of Worcester an d h e was o ne of thos e w ho marched with the king into the n orth , t o waste th e l ands of the insurrectionary barons the re. U p on the ac ce ssion of Henry III., Sir John Marshal wa s cons t itute d s heriff of Hampshire, and governor of the ca stl e o f De vi zes, in Wilts, and retained, during the remain de r o f h i s life, the favor of that monarch. He died in 12 3 4 , a n d was succeeded by his son, John. John Marshal, who dying in 1242, was succeeded b y h i s s o n and heir, William. William Marshal, who, adopting a different line of pol i t i c s, joined the baronial standard, in the 49th yea r o f t h e re ign of King Henry III., and died about the s am e peri o d 126 4 , leaving two sons, John and William , the n under ag e, who , the next year, through the interc essio n of Will ia m de Say e, obtained the king s pardon f or the ir father s t ransgress ion, and had permission t o enjoy h is lands, w it h whatever p ossessions they had , by gift o f Aliva, thei r g randmother. The elder of these sons, John Marshal, died in the 1 2 t h y e ar of Edward I., and was succeeded by his son, Wi ll ia m Ma rs hal, who in the 34th year of Edward I., was i n t h e war s o f Scotland, and was summoned to parliamen t a s a B aron , fro m January 9, 1309, to November 26, 131 3.
