Event: 1215 named in MAGNA CHARTA, King John advisor
JOHN MARSHAL, the founder of this family, owed his political advancement to his 
near relationship to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke (b), and his feudal position to 
his marriage with Aline, eldest daughter and coheir, and afterwards sole heir, of 
Hubert IV de Rye, lord of the barony of Rye (c). John Marshal first appears on the 
page of history in 1197, as one of the knights, under command of William Marshal, 
sent by Richard I to assist the Counts of Flanders and Boulogne against France. In 
1203 he was in Normandy with King John, and in the following year went to Ireland in 
the service of the Earl Marshal, while the Earl went to Normandy in the service of the 
King. On 12 November 1207 he was made Marshal of Ireland. He accompanied King 
John on his Irish expedition, 1210. From 1213 to the end of the reign he was 
constantly occupicd in the King's service in England; in 1215 he was with King John 
at Runnymede, and one of those by whose advice the King gave his assent to Magna 
Carta; later in the year he was one of the embassy to the court of Rome. Returning, he 
accompanied the King on his march to the North, and attended him at his death at 
Newark, 19 October 1216. Nine days later he was present at the Coronation of Henry 
III at Gloucester, and was a member of the council of his uncle, guardian of the young 
King. He was among the "barons" in the Earl Marshal's forces in the relief of Lincoln 
Castle. From this time till his death he was continually occupied in the public service 
in England, Ireland, or abroad.

He married, about 1200, Aline, eldest daughter and coheir of Hubert DE RYE, by 
Margaret, daughter of William FitzRocelin. He died before 27 June 1235. His widow 
did homage on 6 July for the lands she held in chief. She died between June 1266 and 
September 1267. [Complete Peerage VIII:526-7, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) John Marshal gave land in Foulsham, Norfolk, to the priory of Walsingham, for the 
souls of himself and his wife Aline, for John and Alice, his father and mother, for 
William, Marshal of the Earl, and Isabel, his wife, and for Hubert and Margaret de Rye. 
William Marshal's elder brother John (whose heir he was) died in 1194, leaving a 
widow, daughter of Adam de Port. John is described in a charter of King John as 
'nepos Willelmi Marescalli comitis de Pembroc' [nephew of William Marshal Earl of 
Pembroke]. The very detailed biography of the Earl Marshal (Guillaume le Marechal) 
cited above makes no mention of a second brother John, and the Earl's nephew 
appears to have had no patrimony; it is therefore probable that he was an illegitimate 
son of the Earl's elder brother.

(c) The caput of the barony of Rye, which took its name from its owners, descendants 
of Hubert de Rye (Ryes, near Bayeux), was at this date at Hingham, though Hingham 
was only held at farm from the Crown. Later Hockering became the caput of the 
barony, though Hingham was still in possession.
