IDENTITY: Ralph's origin and parentage are unknown, but he was near related to John Bluet, Knt. (died 1317), of Silchester, Hampshire and Lacock, Wiltshire, who served as Ralph's bachelor.

MARRIAGE: Ralph de Monthermer, or Mahermers, was a servant of Joan's former husband, who Joan married without the knowledge of her father, the King. He was very angry and committed Ralph to prison in Bristol Castle and all Joan's lands were seised into the King's hand. By the mediation of Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, however, peace was made between the King and his daughter, and her lands were restored to her, 31 July 1297, Ralph having done homage. the King afterwards became much attached to his new son-in-law, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, during the minority of his step-son, Gilbert de Clare.
