Ansel Marshal
It was probably upon the marriage that he was granted by his brother the marshal manors of Avilgton and Awre in Gloucestershire, which he was already holding in December 1244 while hosting his father in law.On 3 December king Henry III communicated his intention of delivering him the inheritance as soon as he paid him homage, but Ansel never did this as he must have already been ill at the time.He was buried at Tintern Abbey near his mother and brother, ending the lawful male line of the Marshal family.[1] The vast Marshal inheritance in England, Wales and Ireland was formally divided in 1245 between Matilda and the children of her three younger sisters, who had all predeceased her.Paris claims that when Ansel and his brothers were in their prime, their mother Isabel had foretold that “all would be earls of the same county”.
