     "EUDES de Rie (-1 Mar 1120, bur Colchester). His parentage is confirmed by the History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester which names “Eudoni…major domus regiæ”, “pater…eius…Hubertus de Ria, qui internuntius et sequester inter ducem Normanniæ et regem Angliæ…”, his three brothers “Radulfus...custodia castelli et comitatus Notingehamiæ, Hubertus…turris Norwici…Adam…in Cantia”, and “Roasya uxor eius…Gilbertum comes, Rohaisæ frater”[579]. "…Eudo dapifer" witnessed the charter dated to [1072] under which William I King of England summoned knights to attend Easter at Clarendon[580]. "…Eudo de Ria fitz Hubert…Engelramn fitz Hubert [=Hilbert]…" witnessed the charter dated 14 Jul 1080 under which William I King of England confirmed the foundation of the abbey of Lessay[581]. The Chronicon Rameseiensis records the donations made by "Eudo…dapifer Regis…sororis suæ Muriellæ" dated to [1080], witnessed by "…Radulfo fratre Ilgeri, Rogero vicecomite et Osberno sororio Eudonis et Walgero filio eius…"[582]. "…Eudo, Adam brother of Eudo…Richard de Meri, Geoffrey de Sai, Robert de Oilli" witnessed the charter dated 1084 under which William I King of England confirmed a donation by Roger de Albini to Lessay Holy Trinity[583]. Domesday Book records “Eudo fitzHubert” holding Ashe in Overton Hundred in Hampshire; St Leonards in Ripplesmere Hundred in Berkshire; "Eudo the Steward" holding numerous properties in Essex, in Norfolk and in Suffolk[584]. "…Eudo dapifer, Ivo dapifer, Hanno dapifer…" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1091 under which William II King of England confirmed the status of Bath abbey[585]. "Eudo dapifer" donated "the whole tithe of the forest of Tison...[and rights] in all his honour of Préaux [Pratellis]" to Saint-Amand by undated charter[586]. “Eudo dapifer domini regis” founded Colchester St John, for the souls of King Henry I, Queen Matilda “...uxore mea Roaysia”, by undated charter[587]. The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester records the death “pridie Kal Mar 1120” of “Eudoni…major domus regiæ”, and that “Waltherius eius nepos” brought his body for burial[588]. Dapifer.
     "m ROHESE, daughter of RICHARD FitzGilbert de Brionne & his wife Rohese Giffard (-7 Jan 1121, bur Le Bec, Normandy[589]). “Eudo dapifer domini regis” founded Colchester St John, for the souls of King Henry I, Queen Matilda “...uxore mea Roaysia”, by undated charter[590]. Her parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which “Rohais uxor Eudonis dapiferi” donated “manerium de Halingberi sicut dominus meus Eudo die qua vivus et mortuus fuit illud habebat” and land which “Gelebertus frater meus” gave her, for the souls of “Eudonis dapiferi mariti mei et Gilberti fratris mei”[591], which is corroborated by the undated charter under which “Walterus filius Roberti” donated “terram de teia” to Colchester St. John, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti filii Ricardi et matris mee Matildis et...Rohaise amite mee que ecclesiam Sancti Johannis fundavit et fratrum suorum”, to Colchester St. John[592]. The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester also names “Eudoni…major domus regiæ” and “Roasya uxor eius…Gilbertum comes, Rohaisæ frater”[593]. Other sources suggest a different parentage for Rohese. According to Guillaume de Jumièges and the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, she was Rohese, widow of Richard FitzGilbert de Brionne, daughter of Gauthier Giffard & his wife Ermengarde (-after 1113, bur [Colchester]). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Galterium Giffardum primum” as father of “secundum Galterium Giffardum et filias plures” of whom “una...Rohais” married “Richardo filio comitis Gisleberti”[594]. According to the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire, ”Rohesia” married secondly “Eudoni dapifero Regis Normanniæ” after the death of “Ricardo filio comitis Gisleberti” and that they were both buried “tempore Henrici primi” in “castrum Clecestriæ…cœnobio in honore sancti Johannis” which Eudo constructed[595]. The Complete Peerage says that this parentage is “probably erroneous”[596]. From a chronological point of view, the connection would be tight, assuming that the death date of Richard FitzGilbert is correctly estimated to [1090] and the birth of Rohese’s granddaughter by her alleged second marriage, Beatrix, is correctly assessed at [1105]. This supposed different parentage is disproved by the three sources quoted above."

     "Eudo Dapifer (sometimes Eudo fitzHerbert[1] and Eudo de Rie);[2][page needed] (died 1120), was a Norman aristocrat who served as a steward (server, Latin 'dapifer') under William the Conqueror, William II Rufus, and Henry I.
Life
     "Eudo was the fourth son of Hubert of Ryes,[3] who is legendarily known as the loyal vassal who hosted Duke William of Normandy prior to his flight from Valognes during a revolt in 1047.[4] Eudo's brothers were Robert, Bishop of Séez,[5] Hubert,[5][6] William,[7] and Adam.[5] A sister, Albreda, was married to Peter de Valognes.[8] There was also a sister, named Muriel, who was married to Osbert.[3] Eudo is known as "dapifer" because of his position as a steward at an unknown age [9] or server[10] which in Latin is "dapifer".[11]
Service in England
William the Conqueror
     "There is no evidence of Eudo having been at the Battle of Hastings, although some have speculated that Wace may have designated him as the Sire de Préaux which Eudo was in possession of by 1070. After the Norman Conquest of England all five brothers and their father were in England.
     "Eudo's brother Ralph was named Castellan of Nottingham, Hubert had custody of Norwich Castle, and Adam was one of the commissioners of the Domesday Survey in 1085. Eudo received lands in Essex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Hampshire, Norfolk and in Suffolk;[12] as well as being a steward in the English royal household by at least 1072.[9] Sometime after the Domesday Survey he inherited the lands of his brother Adam, held of Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, and those of his brother William at Bardley, Hertfordshire.[7] He was involved in the building of Colchester Castle, the largest Norman keep built and the first stone keep in England,[13][page needed] becoming its custodian until his death, when it reverted to Crown ownership.[2][page needed][14]
William II
     "Eudo was present at Rouen for the death of King William, and then accompanied the new king, William II of England to England; securing for him the royal castles at Dover, Pevensey, and Hastings.[15]
     "Eudo was a steward to William II also, and was one of the early adherents, witnessing charters and serving in the royal household.[16] In 1096/7 Eudo founded Colchester Abbey,[3] as well as St Mary Magdalene's Hospital in Colchester.[17][page needed] During William II's reign, Eudo witnessed 27 royal writs.[18] The historian Francis West, who studied the office of the justiciarship, asserts that Eudo, along with Haimo and Urse d'Abetot, as well as Ranulf Flambard, could be considered the first English justiciars,[19] a position that the historian Emma Mason has modified towards them being the first barons of the exchequer.[20] By that time Eudo's position was so powerful that he was able to impede efforts by the monks of Westminster Abbey to recover a church in London that had previously belonged to the abbey but had been alienated.[21]
Henry I
     "Eudo continued as a steward to King Henry I of England, William's younger brother who succeeded as king in 1100.[22] Eudo was one of the witnesses to Henry's coronation charter, issued shortly after his coronation in August 1100.[23] Eudo was also a royal witness to the treaty between Henry and his brother Robert Curthose in 1101.[24] From his service to Henry, Eudo acquired more lands, including the town of Colchester and several manors.[22] Eudo continued to be a frequent witness to the royal charters and writs, along with Urse and Haimo.[25]
     "In 1103, Eudo's son-in-law William de Mandeville had lands confiscated which were then granted to Eudo. The punishment was likely for allowing Ranulf Flambard to escape from the Tower of London in 1101.[26] In addition Henry I removed William de Mandeville as Constable of the Tower of London and appointed Eudo to the position.
Death
     "Eudo died at Préaux in Normandy early in 1120, and was buried in the chapter-house of St John's Abbey, Colchester, which he had founded, on 28 February 1120.[3][27] He left gifts to Colchester Abbey, including the manor of Brightlingsea. There is a statue of Eudo on Colchester Town Hall in honour of his service to the town.[13][page needed]
Family
     "Eudo was married to Rohais, daughter of Richard Fitz Gilbert,[3] in about 1088.[28] They had one daughter Margaret who married William de Mandeville and Ottiwel d'Avranches, the illegitimate son of Hugh d'Avranches, Earl of Chester.[3][notes 1] She was the mother of Geoffrey de Mandeville, first Earl of Essex.
Notes
1. Some sources state that Eudo died childless, apparently basing this on the fact that his estates went to the king on his death.[28]
a. The household office of steward (sewer, or dapifer) in the mid to late eleventh century had not yet evolved into the great office of state, later called the Lord High Steward. It paralleled the dapifer’s position in the French court, that of a chef-du-service, or server at the royal banquet table. The rapid rise to prominence of the dapifer in the English court was more due to the officers themselves than the position they held. See Harcourt, His Grace The Steward, pp. 5-6.
