Biography
- Baldwin was 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.
