Notes for HUGO DE BERKELEY:
Sir Hugh de Berkeley, Knight, Thane of Balhelvie, succeeded his father and received a Crown charter of those lands from King Robert Bruce (1306-29) in which he was designated "of Fintriegask." Together with his younger brother WALTER, he was sent by the Comyns to form a treaty with the Welsh. Whether these were the Welsh of Strathclyde, or the Tribesmen of Wales, is not very clear. According to an inquisition held at Berkeley, co. Gloucester, 27th April 1296, he was an adherent of John Balioli, and was in receipt of two merks paid yearly by contract from the manor of Cam, Gloucestershire. Cam, in the district of Dursley, was granted to Robert de Berkeley of Berkeley Castle- of the Fitzhardinge family- for the support of his first spouse, Juliana, niece of the Earl of Pembroke. This Robert died without issue in 1219, having married, secondly, Lucie (surname unknown), who survived him, and was afterwards wife of Hugh de Gurney, whose family in later years intermarried with the Barclays of Urie. The manor of Dursley at that time belonged to the heirs-male of the original Norman family of de Berkeley. By Eleva, his spouse, Sir Hugh does not appear to have left any male issue.
