General Notes (Husband)

WILLIAM MALET The Conqueror and His Companions by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brot h e r s , 1874.

Here again is a memorable personage of whose origin a n d f a m ily little is known. Wace mentions him as "Guilla um e k i l 'e n dit Mallet, " but why so called has not eve n b ee n guess e d at. Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, is popular ly s ai d to hav e r eceived his name of Martel from the ho rsema n' s hammer , whic h is assumed to have been his favo urit e wea pon; bu t this, l ike many such stories, is unsu pport ed b y any subs tantial ev idence, and is contested b y th e Frenc h antiquary , M. de l a Mairie, who asserts th at Ma rtel i s simply anoth er form o f Martin, and the wel l-know n charg e in heraldry , Martlet, M artelette, or lit tle Mar tin, o r Swallow, appea rs to corrobo rate that ass ertion . Therefo re, although th e "maillet, " a t wo-heade d hamme r, was as e arly known to the Normans as the "martel de fer," "L'un tient une épée sans fourre, L'autre une maillet, l'autre line hache." Guiart, v. 6635.

if, indeed, it were not the same weapon, I have no be l i e f i n such a derivation, the name being, moreover, bo r n e b y th e whole family. Whether the companion of the C on qu ero r wa s the first so called is unknown. Le Prevos t si mpl y sa ys h e was the source of a noble race still e xisti ng i n Fra nce , that of Malet de Graville. The author of "Carmen de Bello" tells us he was partl y N o r m an and partly English, and "Compater Heraldi," wh ic h wo u l d seem to signify joint sponsor witli Harold, c omp ère , a s t he French have it (vide Ducange in voce).

It would be interesting to discover whose child the y s t o o d godfathers to, and why we find him in the rank s o f h i s fe llow-gossip; (From the Saxon God-syb, a rela tio n i n Go d. Th ere was formerly a spiritual kinship sup pose d t o exis t betw een a child and its sponsors express ed b y th e word g ossipre de.) the knowledge of that fac t migh t reve al to u s many oth ers. Was it in England o r in Norm andy th at he st ood at th e font with Harold? I f in the la tter, i t must hav e been i n 1062, during th e enforced vis it of Go dwin's so n to Duke W illiam, the y ear in which Ad ela was b orn. Is i t possible th at Harol d and William Mal et were he r godfathe rs? Guy, of Am iens , Matilda's almone r, would ce rtainly b e cognizant of t h at fact.

His name, however, is not met with, I believe, eith e r i n S a xon or Norman annals previous to the invasion , wh en w e he a r of his valour and his peril. "Guillaume , who m the y cal l M allet, also threw himself boldly int o the m idst . With h is f laming sword he terrified the En glish. B ut th ey pierce d hi s shield and killed his horse , and h e woul d have bee n slai n himself, when the Sire d e Montfo rt an d William d e Vez-Pon t (Vieuxpont) came u p with a st rong f orce, and ga llantly re scued him, thoug h with the l oss o f many of thei r men, and m ounted him o n a fresh hor se" (R oman de Rou, l . 13,472-85).

We next hear of him as the person appointed by the Conq u e r o r to take charge of the body of Harold, which had b e e n di sc overed by the swan-necked Eadgyth, and to bur y i t o n th e se a-shore; his selection for that purpose w oul d see m t o hav e some connection with the curious stat emen t of B isho p Guy , as from his previous knowledge o f the S axon Ki ng, a nd th e spiritual brotherhood which i s said t o have e xiste d betwe en them, he may have been c onsidere d by Willi am t o have th e best claim to the mela ncholy ho nour afte r the m other, t o whom it had sternl y refused. After this we find him mentioned as accompanying the ne w l y - seated sovereign in his expedition to the North, a n d t h e re duction of Nottingham and York (1068), in whi c h yea r M ale t was rewarded with the shrievalty of Yorks hi re, an d la rg e grants of land in the county. He was i n Yo rk th e follo win g year, and governor of the castle ( newl y buil t by th e Conq ueror) when it was besieged by t he No rthumbr ians, le d by th e Saxon prince Edgar. The ci tizen s havin g joined th e insurg ents, William Malet, sor ely pr essed, s ent to the K ing for a ssistance, without w hich h e assure d him he shoul d be compel led to surrender . The K ing arriv ed with a power ful force i n time to rai se the s iege and t ake fearful veng eance on th e besieger s, as wel l as on th e city and its inh abitants. Ag ain, w ith Gilber t de Ghen t he was in command i n York when t h e Danes assa ulted it i n 1069 and in conjunct ion with th e E arls Walth eof and Gos patric burnt the city , slew thr ee thou sand No rmans, and t ook prisoners Gilber t de Ghen t and Willi am M alet, with hi s wife and two of the ir chi ldren.

How long he remained in captivity does not appear, no r w h e r e or at what time or under what circumstances h e die d . Lu ci a, widow of Roger Fitz Gerald, and subseque ntly C ou ntes s o f Chester, is stated, in a grant of Kin g Henr y II , to h av e been niece of Robert Malet and of A lan o f Linco ln; an d th is Robert is said to have been th e so n of a Wil liam Ma let , slain in 1069, the period a t whic h our Willia m Male t wa s taken prisoner at York. A nothe r William Malet , set d own a s the son of Hesilia Cr ispin , died an old ma n in th e Abbe y of Bec; but there i s no i dentifying eithe r with th e compa nion of the Conqu eror, t hough each ha s a claim to t he disti nction, for o ur Willi am, the sherif f of Yorkshir e and compè re of Ha rold, cert ainly had a so n and heir name d Robert, a n d a sister of W illiam Crispin , named Hesilia , is vario usl y asserted t o have been the m other or wife o f the Wi lliam M alet wh o fought at Senlac.

He was a witness to a charter of King William to the C h u r c h of St. Martin-le-Grand in London, and is therei n st yl e d " Princeps." He also gave Conteville in Normand y t o th e A bbe y of Bec, ("De dono Gulielmi Malet maneriu m d e Cont evil le c um ecclesia et omnibus ejusdem ecclesi &ael ug; e t maner ii pe rtinentiis suis " (Neustria Pia, p . 484 ) whic h indica tes so me connection with Herluin an d Herle ve. Ho w came h e possess ed of Conteville? We kno w that He rluin h ad been p reviousl y married, and had b y his firs t wife a s on named R alf. Wa s that first wif e an Englishw oman, and h ad she a se cond so n named Willi am, heir event ually to Con teville? Glo ver, i n his inval uable collectio ns, has jotte d down the su bscribi ng witn esses to a chart er by a Gilber t Malet, who s tyles hi mse lf "Dapifer Begis , " and we fin d amongst them Wi lliam Ma l et, his heir "hæ rede meo," Robe rt, and Ralph, bro ther s of W illiam, and a nother William , grandson or nephe w o f the gran tor ("nepo te meo"). Unfor tunately it is with o ut date; bu t I am inc lined to conside r Gilbert a broth er o f the sherif f, an d the William he ca lls his nephew , the yo ungest of th e t wo sons of the sheri ff, who wer e taken pris oners with h i m at York; the othe r being Rob ert, who succee ded him, o btai ned the honour o f Eye in S uffolk, and at th e compila tion o f Domesday wa s found t o possess two hundre d and si xty-eigh t manors i n England , Eye being the chief . His fa ther was th en dead , and th at is all we at presen t know f or a certainty . I f not sl ain in 1069, he might wel l be t he old man who di e d in t he Abbey of Bec, to which h e wa s a benefactor, fo r w e h ave no means of guessing his a g e at the time of th e inv a sion.
