The Bluets 50 He assisted in laying the foundations of the Cathederal of New Sarum (Salisbury), it is known that he placed the fourth foundation stone and Ela the fifth. He was also the first person buried there. Fig. 10 Arms of William, earl of Salisbury 200 * Upon his death [Ela] reigned alone in her castle at Old Sarum; and in fact ruled the county, for she filled the office of High Sheriff for seven or eight years 201 . At last, being weary of feudal dignity and its burdens, she retired to one of the monasteries she had built, and became Abbess of Lacock, where she died, as it has been said, at nearly 100 years of age 202 Which contrasts with the 74 given by Dugdale To return to the children of Ralph III; he and Nest had three sons. One, Roland, is an interesting figure and involved in the trials and tribulations of King John. The earliest mention of him, which is also the earliest mention of a fine at St Briavel‘s 203 in the Forest of Dean (which was then 200 Azure six lions rampant or by permission of Brian Timms at http://perso.numericable.fr/briantimms/era/early%20rolls%20of%20arms.htm 201 Jackson, Rev Canon J E (1856) The Sheriffs of Wiltshire WAM III pp 194-195 Actually only 5 – 1227-1228 and then 1231-1235, which is a strange mistake to make seeing Jackson wrote both articles, and he is usually impeccably accurate with his facts 202 Jackson, Rev Canon J E WAM XX, no LVIII p 30 203 http://www.wyenot.com/stbriavels.htm “St. Briavels Castle was built for King John between the years of 1209 to 1211” St Briavel‘s was the main manufactory of cross-bow bolts later in the century;during Edward I‘s campaign against Llywylen in 1276 he ordered 200,000 cross-bow bolts from here [Morris, M (2008) A Great and Terrible King : Edward I and the forging of Britain p146]
The Bluets 51 a Royal Forest) is dated to the first year of John‘s reign, 1213 . This record states that Roeland Bloet made a fine with the King of 300 marks and 7 palfreys for the lands of Roger de Meisythe King being at St Briavel‘s [Castle] that day. 204 Roland was at times in charge of the Castles of Bramber and Knepp 205 . These are both in West Sussex. There is no mention on Knepp Castle before 1210, although there was a house there in 1206. It was probably originally built as a hunting lodge by the de Braose family but was forfeited to King John from 1208 206 and In 1214, [he] founded the stone castle, when adding a two storey keep or hall-house to the natural low mound. Surrounded by a moat, with a counterscarp bank, the keep and a chapel were also encased by a curtain wall, flanked by a gatehouse. Sited in an important centre for hunting, it was used more as a fortified hunting lodge than a castle. 207 Bramber is situated 9 miles south of Knepp, and is an interesting stone motte and bailey. Built in the Norman layout of two baileys with the motte in-between and, unusually, its chapel in a small ditched enclosure below the gatehouse. To the west the curtain wall has a strong deep ditch and bank in front of it and the only entrance is guarded by the remains of a tall Norman gatehouse, which was blocked off to become a keep. 208 From the beginning [of Norman rule the Castle] served as the 204 Feet of Fines 14 John 1 dated 29 Nov 1213, quoted in Taprell-Allen, Rev W (1879) St Briavel‘s Castle Proc Brist.
