Carisbrooke Priory

[1] The church of Carisbrooke, and other property, had been granted to the abbey of Lyre, probably by William Fitz Osberne, Earl of Hereford, around 1067.

[3] His son, Baldwin de Redvers, Earl of Exeter and Lord of the Isle of Wight, gave to the Abbey of Lyre all the churches, tithes, lands, rents and benefits that he held throughout the island.

The priory of Carisbrooke was founded in 1156 by Baldwin de Redvers, to collect the dues in the Isle of Wight of the parent house in Normandy.

It was restored to Prior Thomas Val Oseul by Henry IV on condition of the "apport" or customary tribute to Lyre being paid instead to the Crown, and future appointments of monks being filled by Englishmen, but was seized again by Henry V and bestowed on his new charterhouse at Sheen, and the monks dispersed.

Elizabeth Burrell, daughter of Peter Burrell, 1st Lord Gwydwyr, and Lady Priscilla Bertie, suo jure Baroness Willoughby de Eresby, was married to John FitzGibbon, 2nd Earl of Clare, Lord Lieutenant of the City of Limerick.
