Piers de Lutegareshale

(Abt 1130 - Bef 1175)

== Biography ==Peter took his surname from his Forester of Ludgershall, Wiltshire, under Henry II. He married Maud_____. His second son Geoffrey was a favorite of King Henry II, King Richard and King John who belted him as the Earl of Essex.

Maud's second husband was dead by 1175, so Peter had died long before that date. His son, the Earl, had his remains moved to St. Swithin's in Winchester and re-interred on 8 May 1198. The date often seen for his death is 14 Jan 1179/80 which is obviously an error. Cawley, "Medieval Lands."
