  Notes	Source: A Chronicle of the Kings of England by Sir Richard Baker, Knight." London, 1660. Almeric de St. Amand was a great baron of that age whose chief seat was at Grendon Underwood, a parish in the hundred of Ashendon in Buckinghamshire ten miles west N. W. from Aylesbury. The male line became extinct and the property passed (through daughters) to other families. It would seem that Simon Montacute and Hawise de St. Amand, his wife, probably had a son whose name was William Montacute from the following passage taken from a very rare and ancient work His father, Ralph, died when he was ten years old. Until he was of age, the custody of his land was held by Matthew de Coudray, later Paulyne Peyvre, and finally John de Grey. He received legal possession of his lands and did homage [a ceremony in which a man acknowledges himself the vassal of a lord]. His lands were in Bedford, Buckinhamshire, Surrey, Sussex, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire. He married Isabel _____ in 1278 and was given timber in Savernack Forest. He marched against the Welsh in 1257, 1277, 1282 and 1283 and he was a Banneret [a knight leading his vassals into the field under his own banner and therefore ranking above a knight bachelor]. The King summoned Almaric II to his support at London and Oxford in 1261 and 1264. In 1263-1265 he aided Henry III during the "Barons' War", a war against the King. He was summoned to serve in the Assembly at Shrewsbury (not a Parliament) in 1283. He died in the autumn of 1285. ----------- Source: The Bigod Earls of Norfolk in the Thirteenth Century> Par Marc Morris "...
