  Biography from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Audley-10: James of Audley was the son and heir of Henry of Audley[1] and his wife, Bertred Mainwaring.[2] Bertred was the daughter of Ralph Mainwaring.[2] On 19 November, 1246, at Marlborough, the king [Henry III] after taking the homage of James of Audley, sent orders to the sheriff of Staffordshire and Shropshire and J fitz Geoffrey, justiciar of Ireland, to accept security from James for rendering his relief to the king, and then cause him to have seisin of all lands, castles and tenements of which Henry of Audley, his father, was seised as of fee on the day he died.[1] In 1270, Sir James Audley Constable of Ulster, was Lord Justiciar of Ireland [3] [4] James was the brother of: Ralph, who died before 1240;[2] and Alice, who was married to Peter de Montfort.[2] In 1244, James married Ela Longespée, who died in 1299.[2] Ela was the daughter of William Longespée, born circa 1209, died 1250, claimant to the earldom of Salisbury and cousin of Henry III, king of England.[2] Children James and Ela were the parents of five sons, who succeeded to the family estates, which were overwhelmingly concentrated in Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Cheshire: James;[2] Henry;[2] William;[2] Nicholas;[2] and Hugh.[2] "Audley almost certainly went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1268, and as a crusader he received a judicial protection on 10 July 1270 to accompany the Lord Edward to the Holy Land. But he never went, as he was appointed Edward's justiciar for Ireland on or before 8 August. He held the post until his death."[2] Death James died in Ireland as a result of a broken neck on or about 11 June, 1272.[2] His son James succeeded him, doing homage on 29 July, 1272.[2] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 Calendar of the Fine Rolls of the Reign of Henry III [CFR] 1246-7, ed.
