Nb. Vicomte d'Avranches, Earl of Chester. To the detriment of his elder brother of the half-blood, William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, he appears to have long held a large portion of the profits of the Earldom of Lincoln. He distinguished himself
as a soldier both on the side of the Empress Maud and that of King Stephen, with the greatest impartiality. He was one of the five earls who witnessed the Charter to Salisbury granted at the Northampton Council of Henry I, 8 Sep 1131. To
Stephen's second Charter of Liberties he was, in 1136, a witness, and by him he was made Constable of Lincoln. Against that king, however, he took part at the battle of Lincoln, 2 Feb 1141, in which Stephen was made prisoner, who retaliated
on the Earl 29 Aug 1146, by seizing him at Court, at Northampton. The King granted him the Castle and city of Lincoln, probably after the pacification of 1151. Having again taken part with Kin Stephen, and being consequently distrusted by both
sides, he died 16 Dec 1153, being supposed to have been poisoned by his wife and William Peverell of Nottingham.
