Web Notes notes for Bartholomew DE BADLESMERE 1st Baron Badlesmere
On 26 Sep 1321 Edmund of Woodstock Plantagenet, brother of the King, was appointed Keeper of Tonbridge Castle, forfeited by Hugh de Audley the younger, but the Keeper, Bartholomew de Badlesmere, refused to give it up.174
Notes Weis' "Ancestral Roots" (54:33), (65:33), (65A:33), calls him the 1st Lord Badlesmere. States he was hanged at Canterbury 14 Apr 1322. Was Lord of Badlesmere and Chilham Castle in Kent. Was Steward of the King's household, ambassador to France, Savoy, and the Pope. Also mentioned (79:31). Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" , (Badlesmere, pp. 371-372).
From a posting to the soc.genealogy.medieval newsgroup on Internet by Homer B James on 22 Dec 1995: Bartholomew de Badlesmere in the life time of his father received command to attend the king at Portsmouth, upon the 1st day of September, with horse and arms to embark with him for Gascony, and in the year that he succeeded to his paternal property. He was in the wars of Scotland. He was afterwards in the retinue of Robert de Clifford (RIN 4304*) in the Welsh wars, and in the first year of KING EDWARD I was appointed the Governor of the castle of Bristol. In two years afterwards he was summoned to parliament as Badlesmere, and had a grant from the king, through the special influence of GILBERT DE CLARE, EARL OF GLOUCESTER AND HEREFORD (RIN 726) , and Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, of the castle and manor of Chelham, in Kent, for his own and his wife's life, which castle had been possessed by Alexander de Baliol in the right of his wife Isabel, and ought to have been escheated to the crown on the decease of the said Alexander, by reason of the felony of John de Straboli, Earl of Athol (Isabel's son and heir), who was hanged.
In the 5th year of King Edward II, Lord Badlesmere was constituted Governor of the castle of Ledes, and obtained at the same time grants of divers extensive manors. In the next year but one, he was deputed, with Otto de Grandison and others, ambassador to the court of Rome, and the next year, upon the death of Robert de Clifford, he obtained a grant of the custody of the castle of Skyton in Yorkshire, as of all other castles in that county and Westmoreland, whereof the said Robert died possessed, to hold during the minority of Roger de Clifford, his son and heir. He was further indebted to the crown for numerous charters for fairs throughout his extensive manors; and he held the high office of steward of the household for a great number of years; but notwithstanding his thus basking in the sunshine of royal favor, his allegiance was not trustworthy, for joining the banner of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (RIN 2859*), and other discontented nobles of that period, he went into Kent without the king's permission; where, being well received, he put himself at the head of some soldiers from his castle at Ledes, and thence proceeded to Canterbury, with 19 knights, having linen jackets under their surcoats, all his esquires being in plate armor, and thus repaired to the shrine of St. Thomas, to the amazement of the good citizens. While Lord Badlesmere remained at Canterbury, John de Crumwell and his wife sought his lordship's aid, and , pledging himself to afford it, he hastened to Oxford, where the barons of his party had been then assembled. In the meantime the King being apprised of the baron's proceedings, dispatched the Queen to Ledes, and upon admission being denied her, the castle was regularly invested by Adomere de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, and John de Britannia, Earl of Richmond, to whom it eventually surrendered, when Lord Badlesmere's wife, young son, and daughters, all falling into the hands of the besiegers, were sent prisoners to the Tower of London. The baron and his accomplices afterwards were pursued by Edmund, Earl of Kent, and John de Warren, Earl of Surrey, and being defeated and taken prisoners at the battle of Boroughbridge, his lordship was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Canterbury, and his head set upon a pole at Burgate. At the time of the baron's execution upwards of ninety lords, knights, and others concerned in the same insurrection, suffered a similar fate in various parts of the kingdom.
