The Baskerville family is a very old Norman family in England. Eardisley in Herefordshire was their earliest home. Ralph de Baskerville married Sibyl, heiress of Adam de Port and held a knights fee in 1165 of Adam de Port, in Eardisley. His son, Sir Robert Baskerville, >>> married Agnes <<<, daughter of >> Nesta <<, daughter of >>> Rhys ap Gryfudd <<<, Prince of South Wales. Their sons were Ralph, Walter died post 1168, Robert, died post 1173, and Richard, died 1177. Their Sir Ralph de Baskerville married a daughter of Drogo, Lord Clifford in 1154. He held his lands from the reign of Henry I through inheritance and upon his murder in 1194 in Northamptonshire, his son Roger succeeded to Eardisley, in Herfordshire and his son Thomas succeeded him at Pickthorn, the Shropshire estate. In 1200, Thomas, not yet of age, challenged Roger Fitz William … for that wickedly, and in the King peace, and in felony, and in murder, he slew Ralph de Baskerville his father in his house, and this the said Thomas saw, as he said, being a boy under age, and this he offers to prove against Roger with his body. Another son, Walter married first Emma de St. Leger, who died in 1196, then the widow, Iseult Pantulf. Emma was the mother of Walter Baskerville who was born about 1194 and died around 1243. Another son of Ralph and the lady Clifford was Ralph who died in 1186. In Warwickshire is Stretton-Baskerville, which obtained its name from William d Baskerville who held three fees of Robert, Earl Ferrers honor of Tutbury. In 1208, the last Baskerville to hold Stretton was Walter, grandson of William.
