Biography

The parents of Susanna de Cancell are unknown. Her year of birth is unknown and is estimated as c 1195.

Marriages

She married first Walter de Baskerville, son and heir of Walter de Baskerville, of Eardisley, Herefordshire.

On 20 December 1213 Andrew de Cancell paid 50 marks and two horses for having the marriage of the son of Walter de Baskerville.[1][2][3][4]

In 1214 Walter de Baskerville had licence to marry Susanna, sister of Andrew de Cancell [Coplestone-Crow Cited: PR, 16 John, 59; Rotuli Litteratum Clausarum, Vol. I , p 162 ].[1][3][5][6][7]

Her husband Walter de Baskerville died in 1244.[8]

She may have married second Adam de Montalt.[9]

There are Baskerville pedigrees[10][11][12] which claimed that Walter Baskerville married Susanna, daughter of John 'Crigdon'. However, no primary sources have yet been identified to support this claim.

Children

Walter de Baskerville[8]

Undated charter: Walter de Baskyrvill son of Walter de Baskyrvill and Susanna; Phillipp le Peer. The former grants the latter for his homage and service .. three acres of land .. in his manor of Ardesleg [Eardisley] Millitis which Walter Co'e once held. One of the witnesses was Andrea de Baskervill.[13]

Undated charter: Walter de Baskervill son of Walter de Baskervill and Susanna; John de Acre. The former grants the latter for his homage and service .. twelve acres of land .. in his manor of Ardesleg [Eardisley]. One of the witnesses was Andrea de Baskervill.[14]

Baskerville pedigrees by Ingham[15] and Coplestone-Crow[9] have indicated that the Walter Baskerville who died 1244 was succeeded by a son Walter Baskerville who died c 1259.

Coplestone-Crow[9] indicated the wife of the younger Walter de Baskerville as Juliana de Marcy. Presumably this has been inferred as the de Marcy family were the tenants at Greenstead, Essex, prior to Walter Baskerville who was tenant about 1250.[16][17]

Other Records

Perhaps she was the Suffamia de Baskervill, widow, recorded in 1265. Or perhaps Suffamia was Juliana, the wife of her son Walter.[18]

26 October 1265: Gift, for good service, to Roger de Clifford of ….. all the lands in Erdesley, Grensted, Horcopp . and Cumbe late of Walter de Baskervill, and of all the lands in Horcopp, Yakesour and Stratton, when they fall in, which Suffamia de Baskervill holds in dower of the inheritance of the said Walter .. [Walter Baskervill etc "rebels and enemies"].
