Aymo de Turenberd - ancestral to the St Georges of Hatley

One of the more nebulous ancestors of the St George family of Hatley St
George is Aymo de Turenberd, sometime Constable of the Tower of London
under Henry III.

According to the Visitation of Cambridgshire, sub St George, the
Turenberd line was as follows:

Simon (sic) de Tarnberd/Turnebere married Barzilia (i.e. Basilia) d. of
Oxham/Sopham (i.e. Lady of Soham), d[omi]na de Mepham, of the Isle of
Ely, and had four daughters and coheirs:

1. Margaret, married Sir William St George (ff 1301-1302) and left
issue
2. Elizabeth, married Thomas des Chatariis/Dischalariis (i.e. de
Scalers)
3. Margaret (sic), married Roger Greney [Gyney]
4. Eleanor, married William Colne

Additionally, Basilia is said to have married (secondly) Baldwin St
George, the father of Sir William [his first wife is said to have been
Rohesia de Upwood - see Burke's Extinct Peerage].

Hayden's Book of Dignities tells us that "Aymon Thorimbergh" was
Constable of the Tower in 1255 (sic)

The Patent Rolls contain some further references to de Turenberd, which
throw a little additional light on his career while adding to the
confusion about his name:

13 September 1256: Appointment during the King's pleasure of Aymo
Thorumbert to keep the Tower of London; mandate to Peter le Blund to
deliver it to him.

1259: Aymo Thorumbert, amongst those going abroad with the King.

18 July 1261: Commitment during pleasure to Aymo de Turumberd of the
manors of Cookham and Braye with the seven hundreds and the forest of
Windsor and the manor of Kenyton, on the same conditions as Richard de
Freitmantell had it [in the same year, he was also entrusted with the
keeping of the castle of Windsor].

26 April 1262: Mandate to the Justice of the forest beyond Trent to let
Hamo Thurumberd have four oaks fit for timber.

20 July 1262: Commitment to Aymo Thurumberd until Michaelmas of the
town of Windsor.

15 October 1268: Ratification of the restitution by Edmund Turemberd,
yeoman of Eleanor consort of Edward the King's son, to Ralph de
Muntjoye, which the King gave him by occasion of trespasses done by the
said Ralph in the time of the disturbance.

VCH Cambs sub Soham tells us that the de Soham family held two manors
there from at least the earliest part of the 13th century. Robert de
Soham (ff 1200-1208) was succeeded by his brother or son, Warin de
Soham, a rebel circa 1216; in 1235 the manors descended to his son,
Ralph de Soham, subsequently Sir Ralph. He was succeeded in 1271 by
his daughter and heir Basilia, who also obtained the dower of Sir
Ralph's widow, Mabel, in 1283. Basilia had married her second husband,
Baldwin St George, by 1282, so Aymo de Turenberd must have been dead by
that date.

Basilia was dead by 1295, when two of her daughters and coheirs held
the manors. Margaret "married by 1282" to Sir William St George, and
Margery, married to Roger de Gyney of Norfolk, these two having
purchased the other quarter shares from their remaining two sisters.

Sir William St George and Margaret his wife held the manor of
Netherhall Wygorns in Soham, a portion of which was entailed upon his
daughter Maud upon her marriage to Sir Peter Huntingfield shortly after
1302 (there was no issue from this marriage, and Sir Peter died in
1308). Sir William was apparently dead by 7 Edward II (1314), when
"Margaret de Sancto Georgio" granted the manor of Melton-on-the-Hill,
Yorkshire, to Robert Haringel in free marriage with her daughter
Margaret, with remainder, in default of heirs of the marriage, to the
grantor, who retained the manor of Soham (PROCAT: C143/102/23).

The St George portion of the Soham manors descended to Sir William and
Margaret's grandson and heir, William St George, whose father Baldwin
had died v.p.

It is tempting to equate "Turenberd//Thurumberd/Thorimbergh" with
Thornborough, there being two villages of that name, in Buckinghamshire
and in Yorkshire, the former of which is called Torneberge in Domesday.
