| 4814 | Walter Strode was thirteen when the War of the Roses between the Houses of York and Lancaster concluded in 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth in the English Midlands. Public law and government had been completely dismembered during much of the thirty years of the war. Although a dozen battles were fought over most of England, the region where the Strodes lives was not directly embroiled in any of them. Records of Walter Strode's family are incomplete. He married about 1492 in Shepton Mallet but the identity of his wife is unknown. Also, an existing record of only one son of this marriage can be found. The name of his hometown of Shepton Mallet may suggest what most of the citizens there did for a livelihood. Shepton derived from the Old English terms "sceap" and "tun", literally meaning sheep town or sheep farm. It was located three miles east of Wells, home of a great cathedral built in the early 1200's; stone carvings on its front facade are among the most magnificent in England. It was the seat of bishops for the area, including the town of Bath. There had been a Roman settlement there was well as in Bath where the impressive baths they built are still largely intact.

He was soonafterwards put to death with the unfortunate princess. [I believe JoanPlantagenet died 6 or 7 years later.] From The Genealogist article by Wm. Addams Reitwiesner He was discovered in Joan's chambers, accused of being her lover, andpromptly and publicly hanged. While the story that William and Joan werelovers has been generally accepted, the Annals of Margam (in T. Gale, ed, Historiae Britannicae et Anglicanae Scriptores XX (Oxford, 1687), 2-18,[anno] MCCXXX) implies that the "intimacy" was devised by Llywelyn toavenge himself on William for political injuries inflicted not only byWilliam but by the entire Braose family; the execution was hailed by theWelsh as a vindication of a blood-feud against the Braoses dating from atleast 1176. Indeed, shortly after the execution Llywelyn wrote toWilliam's widow Eva and to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, Eva'sbrother, stating, in effect, that so far as he was concerned, theintended marriage between Llywelyn's son Dafydd and Eva's daughterIsabella could go forward as planned, and that he could not haveprevented the Welsh magnates from taking their vengeance. See J. GoronwyEdwards, Calendar of Ancient Correspondence concerning Wales (Board ofCeltic Studies of the University of Wales, History and Law Series,2)(Cardiff, 1935), pp 51-52, nos. XI.56a, 56b.

| 4831 | William de Strode left his home in Parnham to marry Alice de Ledred of Somerton, in the adjacent county of Somerset, about 1443. They reared a family of four sons and a daughter there. Somerset would continue to be the home shire of six more generations of the Strodes. The east-central section of the county where they lived was a good agricultural area, with much grain being grown and exported from ports in Bridgewater Bay on the Bristol Channel. To the west of them lay the wild moorlands of Exmoor and to the north the Mendip Hills where quarries produced the warm-hued stone from which the beautiful buildings in Bath were constructed. The Strodes were to see continuing turbulent times for their country during their lifetimes. William was a youngster of about ten years when the War with France took a favorable turn and the English monarch Edward VI was crowned king of France. It followed the capture in 1431 of the French heroine Joan of Arc by Burgundian allies of the English, following which she was tried as a witch and burned at the stake in Rouen. But, by 1453, fortunes were reversed and the English were swept completely out of France to end the war. The interruption in commerce over such a protracted period and the continuing cost of conducting the war had reduced the English economy to shambles and left its people exhausted both emotionally and financially. No sooner had this conflict been left behind than England was subjected to wrenching civil strife between 1455 and 1485 as the royal houses of York and Lancaster fought for the throne. It was known as the Wars of the Roses, so named for the symbols adopted by each side -- a white rose for York and a red rose for Lancaster. After the crown changed hands several times -- two kings were killed in battle and two murdered in the Tower of London -- the wars ended when an arranged marriage united the contesting sides. The royal battles obviously had no effect on the longevity of the Strodes. William de Strode died in Somerton in 1499 at age 79; Alice lived on until May of 1514, reaching a most usual age for those times of 89 years.

In May 1213 hewas with the King at Dover, and was a party to John's submission to thePope and resignation of his crown. In January 1214/5 he was among thosewho came to London with the Archbishop to discuss grievances, but on 10May 1215 he was security for the King in his promise of concessions tothe barons. On 24 May 1215 he took part with the barons in the seizure ofLondon; and on 15 June at Runnymede was one of those who advised the Kingto grant Magna Carta; and he afterwards swore to observe the mandates ofthe 25 barons. On 16 May 1216 he was appointed Warden of the CinquePorts; but soon afterwards he joined Louis of France. On 22 June 1217,however, he had renewed his fealty to the King and on 24 August took partin the naval battle in which Eustace the Monk was defeated and slain. In1217 he was sheriff of Surrey.

In 1227 he joined the Earl of Cornwall at Stamford inhis revolt against the King; but at Christmas he was with the King atYork. In 1229 he was about to make a voyage on the King's service. InJune 1230 he was taking an assize of arms in Sussex, and in July waswarden of the ports and seacoast of Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk; and inthe same year he was appointed a justiciar of England.

| 4835 | William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In thebeginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, hewas afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of thecounties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John )[1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at onceespoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he wasincluded by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. Thenext year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held theoffice from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also agrant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witnessto the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee forthe former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby Johnresigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principalleader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when heswerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewisof France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he didhomage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, whichthe king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor ofthe king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constitutedsheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested atthe same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship ofthe castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied theEarl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, inwhich the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars,whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great atempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and richapparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned amighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and abeautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain sothat it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenlyvision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security,but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend exceptthe earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessedvirgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdleof knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day atmass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that,for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." Arumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, andHubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor forhis supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received lettersfrom her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon aftercame to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, hepreferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unlessthe king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himselfotherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however,appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table,where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castleof Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno1226.

March 7, 1226, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Eng.), an illegitimateson of Henry II of England, and a prominent baron, soldier, andadministrator under John and Henry III. He acquired his lands and titlefrom Richard I, who in 1196 gave him the hand of the heiress Ela, orIsabel, daughter of William, earl of Salisbury. He held numerous officialpositions in England under John. He was sent on missions to France (1202) and to Germany (1209). In1213-14 he organized John's Flemish allies, taking part in thedestruction (1213) of the French fleet at Damme, then the port of Bruges,and leading the right wing of the allied army at Bouvines (July 27,1214), where he was captured. He was exchanged and was back in England byMay 1215, when he was employed by John in inspecting the defenses ofroyal castles and fighting the rebels in the southwest. During John's war against the barons, Salisbury deserted the king afterthe landing of Louis of France (May 1216); he returned to royalallegiance, however, by March 1217, fought at Lincoln (May) and Sandwich(August), and attested the Treaty of Kingston (September 1217). Salisburyheld various posts during the minority of Henry III and served againstthe Welsh in 1223 and in Gascony in 1225. He and his wife werebenefactors of Salisbury Cathedral and laid foundation stones of the newcathedral in 1220. William was buried there and his effigy, a splendidearly example, still survives. [Britannica CD '97] William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In thebeginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, hewas afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of thecounties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John )[1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at onceespoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he wasincluded by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. Thenext year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held theoffice from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also agrant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witnessto the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee forthe former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby Johnresigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principalleader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when heswerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewisof France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he didhomage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, whichthe king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor ofthe king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constitutedsheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested atthe same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship ofthe castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied theEarl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, inwhich the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars,whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great atempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and richapparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned amighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and abeautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain sothat it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenlyvision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security,but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend exceptthe earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessedvirgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdleof knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day atmass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that,for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." Arumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, andHubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor forhis supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received lettersfrom her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon aftercame to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, hepreferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unlessthe king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himselfotherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however,appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table,where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castleof Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno1226.

| 4839 | William Stroud was a close friend of Oliver Cromwell. He was the grandfather to Barnard Stroud. His friendship with Cromwell was probably the reason why Barnard's parent were killed. He was in the House of Commons. Taken from Strode Family by Vic Ledger: "William followed commercial pursuits from which he acquired great wealth and reputation for integrity and honesty. In 1627 he purchased the estate of Barrington Court, in Somerset County, which had a great mansion house upon it. Then in a very short time, he became owner of many other estates -- at Martlock, Glastonbury, Street, and other places in Somersetshire. "In Richard Symond's Diary, Symond states that 'William Strode ... lived at Barrington -- 3 myle from Ilminister -- had another house at Street, and hath all the parsonages between this town and Barrington ... his wealth was obtained by being a factor in Spain and the inheritance he received from his father, William Strode, who was a clothier in Shepton-Mallet ...' "The Strodes served over a 200 year period as members of Parliament from Somerset County. William Strode was reelected as a member of Parliament to represent Ilchester, County Somerset in 1640. Thus he served his county in one of the most momentous times in English history. The Long Parliament (1640-1653) had two William Strodes as members. This has caused much confusion. "The similarities of names and principals for which both stood caused this William Strode of Barrington and the William Strode, 'one of five members' impeached by Charles I, to be confused by historians, who should have known better. While William Strode of Barrington was in Parliament, having been returned there from the borough of Ilchester, and being a member of the Long Parliament of 1640, he could not have been one of the 'five members' for the following reasons: "William Strode, M.P. -- 'The Member' -- died in 1645 and was buried in Henry VII's Chapel in Westminster Abbey. William Strode of Barrington did not die until 1666. "That there were two contemporary William Strodes, who were members of the Long Parliament, is clearly proven by the Calendar of State Papers, '... Proclamation for the apprehension of William Strode of the County of Devon, who was accused of sedition ... was one of the representatives of the borough of Beer Alston in Devonshire. "In Collision's Notes and Queries, Second Series, Volume XII, on page 461, '...William Strode, 'the member' ... son of Sir William Strode of Devon ... Beer Alson ... Long Parliament of 1640 ... died 1645.' To compound confusion the fathers of these two Williams were also named William. "William Strode, M.P. for Ilchester in the Long Parliament of 1640, was son of William Strode, clothier of Shepton-Mallet ... he distinguished himself by opposition to the King's authority in Somersetshire ... The State Papers abound with notices of him during this period, and he appears to have been a source of trouble and annoyance to the King, the Bishop, and the Sheriff ... funeral for him was held in the year 1666. "There is more than sufficient evidence to distinguish between the two William Strodes. Both were heavily involved in the opposition to King Charles I as members of Parliament. This mistaken identity has caused much confusion and misinformation amongst Strode descendants in the U.S. Many American descendants have claimed descent from William of Devonshire, the 'one of five members' impeached. In many cases the tradition has been perpetuated without documentation.
