Biography

Sanders writes that Hugh took over the barony after 1100 and died before 1140.^[1]

Keats-Rohan has an entry for his wife, headed "de Sai, Eustachia":^[2]

Eustachia de Say, wife of Hugh fitz Osbern of Richard's Castle. Their son Osbert was a minor at the time of Hugh's death c.1136/39. He was eventually succeeded in 1185 by Eustachia's younger son Hugh, who adopted her name of de Say. Her parentage is unknown, but she was doubtless related to the William de Say who occurs in a Worcester Survey of c.1086, and was possibly a daughter of Theoderic de Say of Stokesay, Founder of Westwood priory for nuns c.1135 (Rec. des actes d'Henri II, i, 73).

Krye Wyard

[Seems to not be based on any specific information about this generation?]

There were three manors called Kyre in Worcestershire at the date of the Domesday Survey. That afterwards known as KYRE WYARD, from its occupation by the family of Wyard, belonged in 1086 to Osbern Fitz Richard and had been held formerly by King Edward the Confessor.^[3]

According to Heming, it had originally been held with Clifton upon Teme (q.v.) and other manors by the monks of Worcester, who had been deprived of their property by Earl Hakon at the time of the Danish invasion.^[4] The overlordship remained with the heirs of Osbern, following the descent of Wychbold in Dodderhill ^[5] ...
