List of nobles and magnates of England in the 13th century


During the 13th century England was partially ruled through Archbishops, Bishops, Earls, Barons, marcher Lords, and knights. All of these except for the knights would always hold most of their fiefs as tenant in chief. Although the kings maintained control of huge tracts of lands through judges, constables, castles, and sheriffs, the nobles of England were still powerful. This is a list of the various different nobles and magnates including both lords spiritual and lords secular. It also includes nobles who were vassals of the king but were not based in England. Additionally nobles of lesser rank who appear to have been prominent in England at the time. The nobles are listed categorically by rank starting with the Archbishops and going down to the nobles who did not hold titles.

Archbishops

The word Archbishop originates as an additional honor for powerful bishops who held sway over several dioceses.. Archbishops were usually associated with an important city holding land and influence within the city
Note: Several Archbishops are not listed because they were either not consecrated, set aside within 3 years, did not rule for more than a year, or were quashed by the pope/the king.

Earls/Counts

Earls were powerful lords holding their lands per baronium. Technically they were the kings highest representative in their given shires, for example the Earl of Devon would be the highest administrator of Devonshire, however he was not the overlord of the barons in Devonshire.

Lords Spiritual

The lords spiritual were bishops, abbots, and other leading clergymen who functioned similarly to feudal barons holding their land per baronium. Generally they were centered at a cathedral or abbey and not a castle and although some were expected to provide soldiers for the king, they were not expected to fight themselves. Bishops who ruled for less than three years will not be listed to avoid clutter.

Barons & Royal Demesne Equivalents

Holding land per baronium was considered the highest form of land tenure. Barons were generally tenants in chief who held usually 10-50 manors, often scattered around but usually with a general grouping of estates around the Caput Baronium. Many of these manors were held by knights who provided military service to their lord. Often a few of the baron's manors were held from another tenant in chief. A barony with more than 20 manors in it was termed an honour. Most bishops also held their land per baronium and all earls held their land per baronium.
Welsh Marcher Barons Under the Crown:
Marcher-lords enjoyed a greater degree of independence having almost all feudal rights. However they could not mint coins nor could they judge someone guilty of high treason and if they died without heirs their land would revert to the crown. Marcher lordships seem to have functioned in a similar way to that of a state in the Holy Roman Empire, enjoying extensive freedom but still subject to the crown.

Feudal Barons and Barons by Writ Under the Crown:
The difference between a feudal barony and a barony by writ is not a clear distinction since barons had been summoned for council before the parliaments of that later 13th century. Barons who attended the Curia Regis of 1237 were undoubtedly equal in rank to the ones later summoned to the parliaments of 1246 and beyond. In fact many of the barons attending the Curia Regis were predecessors to those attending the later Parliaments.

The earls of Chester were considered earls-palatine of the earldom of Chester. They had almost complete rights over their domain and ruled like kings: they had their own court with their own barons, and their own justices. Chester was last held be a non-royal by John the Scot who died in 1237- since than it passed to the crown and was given to a royal relative.

De Facto'' Under the Justiciar of Ireland:
These lords were the descendants of norman adventurers who had come over to Ireland following Richard FitzGodbert de Roche, Strong-bow, and others who had originally come as mercenaries for an Irish prince. These Norman adventurers had continued their predecessors conquest by making alliances, truces, pushing wars, etc. Although briefly almost independent of England, royal authority was soon established in Ireland.

Knights and Officials of the Royal household

These are companions of the Kings of England during the 13th century. The kings kept household knights and a variety of skilled noblemen including administrators, scribes, and judges in his court in order to do is bidding in administrative, military and judicial matters. In many cases noblemen would serve in more than one office depending on their favor with the king at the time. These nobles tended to be lesser nobles who acquired land, offices, and titles by service to the king. The office or Royal Steward was the highest office in the kings household who was responsible for managing the entire household including ensuring discipline within the ranks of the household knights.
