Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford
- Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Earl of Oxford
Aubrey de Vere IV, 2nd Earl of Oxford (1163/5 or 1172–1214), was the eldest son of Aubrey de Vere, 1st Earl of Oxford and his third wife Agnes of Essex, daughter of Henry de Essex, Lord of Rayleigh. The earl was hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain of England and was considered one of the cronies of King John. He served as sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire, custodian of ports in East Anglia and Essex, steward of the royal forests in Essex, and keeper of the king's greyhounds. He and others were involved in a dispute over feudal financial assessments (scutage) with the abbot of Bury St. Edmunds; Earl Aubrey was the last to resist a settlement. [Jocelin of Brakelond: "Chronicle of Bury St. Edmunds"]
Family and children
He was married twice. His first wife was Isabel de Bolebec (1175– c. 1206), daughter and heiress of Walter de Bolebec of Whitchurch. Second, he married Alice (who may have been a daughter of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk). He had an illegitimate son Roger de Vere, but having no legitimate issue at his death, he was succeeded in his lands, title, and office by his brother Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford. [Cokayne, G. E: "Complete Peerage of England....", v. 10. St. Catherine Press, 1910-58.]
