BARONY OF VERDUN (I)

THEOBALD DE VERDUN, 3rd but 1st surviving son and heir, by 1st wife, was born circa 1248; had livery of his father's and mother's lands, 7 November and 7 December 1274; and was constantly in Ireland for the next 25 years. He was one of those magnates who, having large Irish interests, granted to the King in Parliament, 19 May 1275, the export duties on wool and hides in their ports in Ireland; served in Wales, 1277, 1282 and 1283; styled himself Constable of Ireland, circa 1282-84; and was summoned, 28 June, to attend the Assembly to be held at Shrewsbury, 30 September 1283. On 29 May 1290 he was one of the magnates and proceres, assembled in full Parliament, who granted an aid for the marriage of the King's daughter; and he was summoned to Parliament from 24 June 1295 to 11 June 1309, by writs directed Theobaldo de Verdun, whereby he is held to have become LORD VERDUN. He was summoned for service against the Scots, 1291-1309, excepted from that in Gascony, 1294, and summoned for service overseas, 1297; was with the King at Norham, June 1291, when he settled the claims to the Scottish Crown; but being involved in the quarrel between the Earls of Hereford and Gloucester, he was accused of divers transgressions and sentenced, Michaelmas 1291, to imprisonment and the confiscation of Ewyas Lacy. He was, however, released on payment of 500 marks and Ewyas Lacy was restored to him, 8 June 1292. His seal was appended to the Barons' letter to the Pope, 12 February 1300/1, as Dominus de Webbele.

He married, before 6 November 1276, Margery (c). He died 24 August 1309 at Alton, aged about 61, and was buried 13 October in Croxden Abbey, in that co. [Complete Peeerage XII/2:249-50, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
