Sir Hugh Poix Tyrrell

Hugh Tyrrell I succeeded his father in 1135 and was the first in the family to bear the name "Prince of Poix".(The name Tyrel becomes "Tyrrell" in England). The Norman historian Ordericus mentions he was an ardent soldier. He joined the second Crusade in 1146. In the Pipe Roll he is seized of the Manors of Kingsworthy near Winchester, Avon-Tyrrell, and also lands at Ripley, Shirley, and Sopley in the New Forest. This Sir Hugh gave the chateau and lands at Moyencourt to his fourth son, Adam, from who descends the House of Tyrrell de Moyencourt, which name he then took. This house is still existent in France (as of 1909).

He was ultimately succeeded by his son, Sir Hugh Tyrrell II, who was the sixth Lord of Poix.

Hugh Tyrrell L, son of Sir Walter Tyrrell III., inherited

the lands and titles of his father and was Lord of Poix,

Vicomte d'Equennes, etc., and qualified as Prince de Poix

in 1153, 1155 and 1159. Hugh confirmed the grants of his

father to the said churches as above mentioned; he also

made one of the Crusades. He married Ada d'Avmale,

the daughter of Etienne de Champagne, Comte d'Aumale.

This Ada d'Aumale was lineally descended from Richard

II., Duke of Normandy, and from Ralf de Mortemer, Baron

of Wigmore. Sir Hugh Tyrrell I. made his will in 1158

and died in 1159, leaving among other sons Walter Tyrrell

IV., who died in 1171 without children, and Hugh Tyrrell

II., who finally succeeded to the titles and possessions of

the family. There were also other children, and among

them, Adam Tyirell, who became the founder of the Moyen-

court family. Sir Hugh Tyrrell II. was a great soldier and

distinguished himself in the Crusades. In the Hall of the

Crusades, in the great palace at Versailles, in Folio 24,

No. 125, is an article on Sir Hugh Tyrrell, Lord of Poix,

and one of the leaders of the Crusades. His coat of arms

is in the third Hall of the Crusades. They are spread upon

the beam which is above the picture representing the

"Raising of the Siege at Rhodes," August 17, 1480. The

escutcheon bears the date of 1147, and is under the name of

Hugh Tyrrell, Lord of Poix. Sir Hugh Tyrrell was ac-

companied to the Crusades in 1190 by four of his cousins,

two of whom perished at the siege of Acre in 1191. Sir

Hugh II. died in 1199 and was buried in the Abbey of St.

Pierre Selincourt. He had married, first, in 1161, Isabelle

de Wignacourt, who was of an illustrious House in Picardy ;

and second, in 1173, Marie de Senarpont, who was also of

distinguished blood.

Sir Walter Tyrrell I. had received from the Conqueror

large tracts of land in Hampshire and in Essex. He did

not live long after the Conquest, but in 1067, when William

I. of England went over into Normandy, Sir Walter Tyrrell

I. was left as one of his High Commissioners for the County

of Essex during his temporary absence. He held the lordship of Laingaham in Essex; was lord of the Manors of

Kingsworthy and Avon-Tyrrell in the New Forest; and also

held the "Sueburga" and "Contona** in Somerset from Os-

mond, Bishop of Salisbury. There is some dispute as to

the date of the death of Sir Walter Tyirell I., as the French

authority so frequently quoted herein gives it as in 1068,

but Mr. Tyrrell in his history of the family gives it as

occurring in 1080. As before said, he was succeeded by

his grandson, Sir Walter Tyrrell III., his son, Sir Walter IL,

having pre-deceased him. The wife of Sir Walter Tyrrell

III., Adelaide, was a cousin of the Conqueror, who had

commanded her marriage to Sir Walter, and she appears to

have lived to a great age, for according to the Pipe Roll of

1136 she was seized as a widow of the Manor of Langham

in Essex. Sir Walter Tyrrell III. joined the first Crusade

and was present at the siege of Jerusalem in 1096. It was

at this time that he adopted what are known as the "Poix**

arms to distinguish himself from his kinsman, the Sire de

Tirel, who was also taking part in the siege. Reference to

this coat of arms will be made hereafter in this pamphlet.

There has been much conflict in the authorities as to just

the manner in which King William Rufus met his death,

and it has been disputed that the accident was due to Sir

Walter Tyrrell III. However, all the authorities agree that

it was purely the result of an accident, as Sir Walter and

the King were great friends and kinsmen and had for many

years been on terms of the greatest intimacy. Late in life

lie made another pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and dying

in 1135 was succeeded by his son, Hugh Tyrrell /., as be-

fore stated, who was the first one of the family to bear the

title of Prince of Poix, and who is mentioned by the Nor-

man historian, Ordericus, as an ardent soldier. Sir Hugh

Tyrrell I. joined the second Crusade of 1146. In the Pipe

Roll he is named as being seized of the Manors of Kings-

worthy near Winchester, Avon-Tyrrell, and also lands at

Ripley, Shirley, and Sopley in the New Forest. This Sir

Hugh gave the chateau and lands of Moyencourt to his

fourth son, Adam, from whom descends the House of Tyr-

rell de Moyencourt, (which name he then took) , represent-

ed in France to this day. As before stated. Sir Hugh Tyr-

rell I. was ultimately succeeded by his son. Sir Hugh Tyrrell II., who was the sixth Lord of Poix. Sir Hugh Tyrrell

11. was conspicuously identified with the first conquest of

Ireland by the English and accompanied his cousin, Strong-

how, Earl of Pembroke, to that country in 1169. He was

made Baron of Castleknock in 1173 and was Governor of

Trim in 1183. He was at the siege of Acre in the Crusades

of 1191 and was known as the "Grecian Knight/' Sir Hugh

Tyrrell II. was buried at Selincourt in 1199. He left a

number of children. The eldest son, Sir Walter Tyrrell V.,

succeeded to the titles and possessions of the family in

Picardy and Normandy, under the usual law of primogenitor.
