Baldwin Wake; feudal Lord of Bourne; apparently imprisoned by King John 1207; 
pardoned by 1210 and regranted his English lands, retaining also his Guernsey ones 
but losing his Norman ones (his efforts to retain which by currying favour with the 
French probably occasioning his quarrel with John) following the overrunning of John's 
territory in Normandy by the French 1206; married Isabel (died in or after 1224), 
eventual coheiress of estates that included the Manor of Blisworth, Northants which 
remained with the Wakes till Henry VIII's reign, widow of Foubert de Douvres and 
daughter of William Briwere, Sheriff of Bucks, Berks, Derbys, Devon, Nottingham and 
Oxon, and was allegedly killed by a crossbow bolt before 20 July 1213 while besieging 
a castle in Gascony. [Burke's Peerage]

---------------------------------------

BALDWIN WAKE, son and heir, made fine in 1201, together with his grandfather 
William du Hommet, for possession of his lands in England and Normandy, promising 
not to marry without the King's consent. In August 1204 he was allowed to have his 
English lands if he gave 4 hostages to Crown representatives; but in 1207 he came 
into conflict with the King, being forced to choose between England and Normandy. 
His lands were seized in March 1206/7 and he was ordered to leave the realm, but he 
seems to have been imprisoned in June following. It is not known when he was 
restored to royal favour but at Michaelmas 1210 he appears among the witnesses of a 
charter.

He married Isabel, widow of Foubert DE DOUVRES (a), daughter of William 
BRIWERRE, by his wife Beatrice. He died before 20 July 1213. Isabel was living, 
1224, but died before 10 June 1233. [Complete Peerage XII/2:297-8, (transcribed by 
Dave Utzinger)]

(a) G. A. Moriarty, "The First House of De Douvres or De Chilham," in The New 
England Hist. and Geneal. Reg., vol cv, pp. 39-40. It was formerly believed that the 
family to which Foubert belonged took its name from Dover, but Round suggested that 
the name was derived from Douvres in the Bessin and the evidence which he adduced 
seems to be convincing.
