King of England Henry I Beauclerc
King of England 1100 to 1135.
Throughout his career, Henry showed a capacity for swift and violent action. He caused two of his granddaughters to be blinded in retaliation for their father's treatment of hostages and, in 1124-25, he had all the moneyers in England mutilated without trial, to discourage their successors from falsifying the coinage. He seems to have been naturally both cruel and avaricious. All the same, this heavy hand checked lawlessness in all parts of his kingdom, and he had the knack of winning admiration and even trust.
Henry reigned for the most part in peace. In 1106, however, he defeated his older brother Robert of Normandy in an unexpectedly decisive battle at Tinchebrai, seized his Duchy and imprisoned him for the rest of Robert's life.
One of Henry's first acts as King was to marry a descendant of King Alfred the Great, a match with obvious dynastic overtones.
The Barons de Roos owned Helmsley or Hamlake Castle. Baedeker remarks only that it is an interesting Castle, but we can give some description of it. Hamlake has a rectangular bailey, a barbican, and an outwork at the East end of the bailey. Its singular defense was a double line of ditches, both of which were fed by the River Rye. The curtain wall was built about 1170, and the keep about 1190. The East gateway and barbican are ascribed to the 13th Century. The Castle, except for the keep, was destroyed in 1649. The other half remains, one hundred feet above the bailey. The keep is an excellent example of traditional design, combining the old square style with coming roundness in towers. The outside of the tower is rounded to baffle sappers, and the portion inside the curtain is square, as a convenience for the occupants.
ROBERT de ROOS of Fursan, the Surety, fourth Baron of Hamlake Manor, was born in 1177. When only fifteen years of age he had paid a thousand marks' fine for livery of his lands, and in 1197 when aged twenty years, while with the King of Normandy, he was arrested, though we know nothing of the offense, and was committed to the custody of Hugh de Chaumont. However, de Chaumont trusted his prisoner to William de Spiney, and the latter allowed him to escape out of the Castle of Bonville. King Richard thereupon hanged de Spiney and collected a fine of twelve hundred marks, about eight hundred pounds, from Roos' guardian as the price of his continued freedom.
When John became King, he gave young Roos the whole Barony of his great grandmother's father, Walter d'Espec, as conciliation. About the 14th of King John, Robert assumed the habit of a monk, whereupon the custody of all his lands and Castle Werke, were committed to Philip d'Ulcote. But Robert did not long continue as a recluse, as in about a year he was executing the office of high sheriff of co. Cumberland. At the beginning of the struggle of the Barons for a constitutional government, he at first sided with King John and, in consequence, obtained some valuable grants from the Crown. He was made governor of Carlisle, but was later won over by the Barons. He returned to his allegiance in the reign of Henry III for, in 1217/8, his manors were restored to him, and, although he was a witness to the second Great Charter and the Forest Charter of 1224, he seems to have been in favor with the King.
Roos erected the Castles of Helmsley, or Hamlake, in Yorkshire, and of Werke, in Northumberland. He was a member of the Order of Knights Templar. He died in 1226/7 and was buried "in his proper habit" in the Knights' Church, or the New Temple in London, where his tomb may be seen. His effigy is described by Gough, in "Sepulchral Monuments," as "the most elegant of all the figures in the Temple Church, representing a comly young knight in mail, and a flowing mantle with a kind of cowl; his hair neatly curled at the sides; his crown appears shaved. His hands are elevated in a praying posture, and on his left arm is a short, pointed shield charged with three water-bougets. He has on his left side a long sword, and the armor of his legs, which are crossed, has a ridge, or a seam up the front, continued over the knee. At his feet is a lion, and the whole figure measures six feet two inches." He married Isabel, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland, and widow of Robert Bruce.Wurts.From Wurt's "Magna Carta."
Called the first King of all England, 802-839. Born about 775 and fled his cousin Brethrick, taking refuge in the court of Charlemagne where he stayed for about twelve years serving as one of his captains. On the death of Brethrick, who was poisoned by hs wife, Egbert returned to England. In 802 at Winchester, he was crowned king of the West Saxons. He subdued West Wales, or Cornwall, defeated the king of Mercia at Ellandune, annexed Kent and in 829 became overlord of all the English kings and gave the name England to the whole realm. There are still in existence some coins struck by Egbert, though these are now rare. In 835, Egbert defeated a formidable army of Danes at Hingston Down in Cornwall when they attempted to invade England.
This line may be traced thorugh some eleven more generations to Cerdic, a patriarch of the Blood Royal of Saxony, who landed in Hampshire in 495 and in 519 gained a great victory at Charford. Died in 534.Called the first King of all England, 802-839.

I leave and give to my son James, my rifle gun. I leave and give to my daughter Manning Anderson all the part of my land the same side of the branch where they now live for her share with what she had besides. I leave and give to my daughter Betsy her bay mare, and what she had for her share, and all the remainder part of my estate that is to be divided amongst the rest of my children, by appraisement by two persons chosen by my beloved wife and my executors.----"

According to the Revolutionary War Record of Clement Moberley, at National Archives, he was born in 1746 in Bedford County, Virginia. He moved to South Carolina, then to Madison County, Kentucky, shortly after the Revolutionary War. He then moved to Warren County, Kentucky, and from there to Crawford County, Arkansas, in 1831. p. 70 - On May 10, 1799 (Deed Book 1, Page 108) the Trustees for the town of Bowling Green sold to Clement Moberley lot 17 in said town, one-half acre in size. On June I, 1807 (Deed Book C, Page 3) Clement Moberley sold this lot to Samuel Campbell. On August 19, 1799, Survey Book A, Page 231, 200 acres were surveyed for Clement Moberley on McFaddill's Fork, adjoining Elisha Moberley and John Moberley. John Moberley and Charles Moberley were chainbearers. Previously, Page 165, 200 acres had been surveyed for John Moberley on a branch of Gasper River, in which Clement was a chainbearer. I was advised in Bowling Green that all of these 200 acre tracts were for Revolutionary soldiers and that the land between the Green River and the Barren River was originally set aside for land grants to Revolutionary soldiers.
