The Bluets 28 Fig. 8 Descendents of Walter Bluet * If visiting from Elizabeth below click here to return to the footnote If visiting from Petronella below click here to return except that he and his brother died in the continuing warfare in Wales after the withdrawal of the French forces in 1217 and the ascendency of the Bluet‘s patron, William Marshal Several of his descendents, however, were involved in national events and are worth discussing. The first was Walter‘s son Ralph, who witnessed a charter of Grace Dieu abbey in 1267. Paul Reed 96 has shown that this cannot be either Ralph IV 96 Reed PC (2008) Descent of St Maur family of Co.

The Bluets 29 or Ralph V and is an unrecognised Bluet having previously been assumed to have been Ralph IV or Ralph V. Nothing else is known of him for certain but his son Ralph married Amicia, daughter and heir of John Picard 97 . Their lands were mainly in the Marches; they were granted the Manor of Thurcleston, in Herefordshire, by Amicia‘s father on their marriage and in 1308 “[Ralph Bluet‘s] wife Amicia and himself were possessors of Almay after the death of John Picard “98 Two years previously John Picard had been tasked with providing a levy of 100 footmen to attend the king at Montgomery 99 . This was part of a general levy of the local area. It is not clear from whom they held the manor; in 1310 Ralph is seen holding from John son of Reginald 100 but the surname is not given. Ralph was holding land in Raglan in 1315 101 , Ralph and Amicia were affected by the turbulent history of the early fourteenth century; in 1321 Thomas, earl of Lancaster, Leicester, Lincoln and Salisbury and King Edward II‘s cousin, sought to take advantage of a climate of discontent with the king (brought about by his favouritism and weak rule over many years) and rebelled against the King, drawing his support from barons in Wales and the north of England Uncharacteristically Edward II acted with a sense of purpose 102 and 97 Anon (1878) The Picards or Pycards of Straddewy (now Tretower) castle and Scethrog, Brecknockshire Goldney & Lawrence p34, digitised at http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/FH10&CISOPT R=68552&REC=9 98 Anon (1878) ibid 99 Calendar of Welsh Rolls Edw I yrs 5 to 23 pp280-281 dated March 21 1283 100 Inquisitions Post Mortem vol V Edw II no 205 p106 IPM of John son of Reginald deceased Hereford 4 July 3 Edw II [1310] Straddeuwy : the manor held by Ralph Bluet for 3 knight‘s fees. 101 Inquisitions Post Mortem vol V Edw II no 538 p336 IPM of Gilbert de Clare earl of Gloucestershire and Hertford, inquisition held at Monmouth, 27 Sept 8 Edw II [1315] Raglan 1 fee held by Ralph Bluet 102 David Carpenter felt that Edward was a less than successful king, saying at one point the most hopeless king to sit on the English throne [Carpenter, D (2003) The Struggle for Mastery: Britain 1066-1284 OUP ISBN 0-19-522000- 5 p525]
