The Bluets 80 It is likely that this was the same Mill which was the source of the earlier disagreement between Roger Bluet and Ela. William agreed never to disturb the supply again in exchange for land, some of which was next to land of Alice de Beuelye. Agreement was made concerning repair of the conduit. There had been changes since the earlier agreement. William had remarried, the dedication is "for the souls of his wife and his children " 340 whereas previously it was only "for the health of the soul of Margaret his wife 341 ", which is the only known reference to her that has been found. Alice was the name of the next abbess 342 . William was given respite from taking up knighthood in 1253 343 and again between 1256 and 1258 344 . As has been seen both he and his brother Ralph V supported Simon de Montfort in his short lived rebellion 345 . 340 Rogers KH (1978) Lacock Abbey Charters p25, no 51, dated 1257-70 The Harveys indicate a date of 1280 for a similar document 341 Rogers KH (1978) Lacock Abbey Charters WRS p25, no 49, dated 1257 -70 342 Kite, E (1917) Lacock Abbey and its owners Wilts.

The Bluets 81 Although very little is known about Ralph V some information does exist. There was an Inquisition of 1265 that said that Ralf Bluet was a rebel 346 and that his land at [Hinton Blewett] was in the hands of Sir Edward 347 . This is not surprising as Ralph and William had been in wardship to Simon 348 . The battle of Evesham, at which de Montfort was killed was fought on August 4 th 1265, and Ralph Bluet V also perished there. Thus two Bluets rebelled against the king – Ralph IV rebelled against Henry III in 1233 and lost his lands for a time; thirty years later his son Ralph V rebelled against the same king and lost his life! In an assize of 1280 there was a dispute about the ownership of tenements in Henton [Hinton Blewett] and Roger Kantok‘s bailiff said that the tenements were of one Ralf Bluet who was killed at the battle of Evesham [fighting] against King Henry 349 . It appears that Ralph V‘s son William gave the tenements in question to a Walter Bluet who had a son Richard. The descent of these Bluets is not known for certain but may have been cousins on the Somerset line 350 or Walter may have been William‘s son although this isn‘t clear. It may be relevant that the claimant in the assize case was Nicholas de Montfort Ralph V does appear in connection with an Eyre held in northern Wiltshire in 1249. He was one of the 12 good and lawful men of Wiltshire that were the jury for an Inquisition to determine whether The Second Barons' War (1264–1267) was a civil war in England between the forces of a number of rebellious barons lead by Simon de Montfort and the Royalist forces led by Prince Edward (later Edward I) of England. 346 Pipe Rolls Henry III, dated Friday before St Calixdis 49 Hen III 9 Oct 1265. (No details of this Saint have been found, the 9th October 1265 was, indeed, a Friday - calculator at http://www.albion.edu/english/calendar/weekday.htm . There was a St. Callixtus, whose feast day was 14th October, it might be that the Pipe roll refers to this saint.) 347 Calendar Inquisitions Miscellaneous vol 1 no 826 p265 348 Crouch, D (2005) The Birth of Nobility: Constructing Aristocracy in England and France, 900-1300 p287 (from PRO KB26/131 membrane 8d) 349 Feet of Fines Somerset Record Society vol 44 350 Feet of Fines ibid.
