EspañolAUBREY DE VERE, 2ND EARL OF OXFORD
(Redirected from Aubrey de Vere IV)
'Aubrey de Vere IV, 2nd Earl of Oxford' (1163/5 or 1172–1214), was the son of Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford and his third wife Agnes of Essex, daughter of Henry de Essex of Rayleigh. The earl was hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England and was considered one of the cronies of King John. He served as sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire, custodian of ports in East Anglia and Essex, steward of the royal forests in Essex, and keeper of the king's greyhounds. He and others were involved in a dispute over feudal financial assessments (scutage) with the abbot of Bury St. Edmunds; Aubrey was the last to resist a settlement.[1]
He was married twice. His first wife was Isabel de Bolebec (1175– c. 1206), daughter and heiress of Walter de Bolebec of Whitchurch. Second, he married Alice (who may have been a daughter of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk). He had an illegitimate son Roger de Vere, but having no legitimate issue at his death, he was succeeded in his lands, title and office by his brother Robert.[2]
