Roger de Montbegon ' standing up,' as Dugdale says, ' with the rebellious 

 barons against the king,' 16 suffered the seizure of his lands, which were given in 

 the early spring of 1 2 1 5 to Oliver de Albini, 16 while he himself underwent the 

 sentence of excommunication by the pope. 17 On 20 June, 1215, he was with 

 the barons at Runymede, 18 but about New Year's day, 1216, made his peace 

 with the king and had livery of his lands in six counties, including a grant 

 for his life of Wheatley, co. Notts., 19 which the king had granted in 1205, for 

 term of life to John Malherbe, deceased, Roger's brother of the half blood. 20 

 About the same time John Malherbe's manor of Appleby, co. Lincoln, was 

 delivered to Eudo de Lungvilers, a knight of the earl of Chester, and to 

 William de Mare, as kinsmen and heirs of John Malherbe. 21 Henry III., 

 immediately after his accession, seized the lands of Roger de Montbegon and 

 Robert Grelley, and delivered them to William Marshall, the younger, 23 

 afterwards committing Roger's lands to Robert de Vaux for his maintenance 

 in the royal service. 23 But afterwards having letters of safe-conduct to repair

 brother, John Malherbe, as part of the inheritance of their mother. After Malherbe's death in 1216, Roger 

 gave it to John de la Mare, who was probably first husband of Malherbe's sister Mabel, dementia, the other 

 sister and co-heir, afterwards married Eudo de Lungvilers. Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), 405^, 411^;
