Knight of the week
Sir John of Felsenbau:
This week's Knight of the week: "Sir Philip de Valognes" - In Scotland...he was the BEST of the Scottish knights. He was born in Valognes, France in 1132. His grandfather, Pier I was said to have come to England with William the conqueror. He was married in 1164 and had a son, William the following year. From 1165-1171 he became Chamberlain to King William the Lion of Scotland. In 1167 William and Philip fought in tournaments on northern France. During one of the melees Sir William Marshal seized Sir Philip's horse by the reins and forced him out of the melee. After taking Sir Philip's pledge to pay the ransom, Sir William continued in the Joust. (It was Sir William's first tournament.)
In 1172, King William granted the lands of Panmure to Sir Philip. In 1174, Sir Philip became a hostage for King William and after the treaty, King William rewarded Sir Philip by making him the Baron of Panmure, Benvie and Roxburgh, as well as lands in Cumberland and in Northumberland. In 1190, Philip's brother died and Philip inherited the Barony of Burton in Yorkshire. From 1193-1214, Philip was again Chamberlain to King William. In 1209, he became hostage again for King William. In 1215, Phillip died in Roxburgh.
