Gunselm de Badlesmere
Guncelin de Badlesmere( 12321301), son of Bartholomew de Badlesmere( died 1248), was Justice of Chester and Cheshire in England.
Guncelin de Badlesmere was appointed to the office of Justice of Chester and Cheshire on 16 October 1274.
He held this position until 1281, when Reynold de Grey was appointed to this role and Gunselm was instructed to deliver the associated premises to him with effect from 29 September of that year.
An example of his close connection with the Crown appears in the account of the delivery of the royal seal of King Edward I by his son Edward to the Lord Chancellor, John de Langeton, which took place at Tonbridge Castle, Kent on 27 August 1297, with Sir Guncelin de Badlesmere being one of the witnesses.
Gunselin was evidently still alive on 22 March 1299/ 1300, when Walter de Gloucester, as" escheator this side the Trent", was instructed to investigate allegations that Guncelm had damaged property belonging to the estate of Edward, son and heir of Philip Burnel, a minor whom the King had committed into Guncelin's custody.
On 13 April 1301, a writ was issued to initiate enquiries into the identity of the next heir of lands that had been held directly from the King by Guncelin de Badlesmere.
Presumably, he had died shortly before that date.
An inquisition post mortem held on 30 April of that year in respect of land he held in Kent at Badlesmere and Donewelleshethe confirmed that the next heir was his son Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere( 12751322).
By 4 October 1302, it was established that the damage to Edward Burnel's inheritance had taken place before Gunselin became involved.
Therefore, the lands concerned were to be delivered to the executors of Gunselin's will.
He died in the 29th year of the reign of Edward I( in 1301), and was buried in Badlesmere church, where in 1800 it was reported that his wooden cross- legged effigy could still be found.

Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere
Margaret de Clare, Baroness Badlesmere (ca. 1 April 1287 – 22 October 1333/
January 1334, disputed) was a Norman-Irish noblewoman, "suo jure" heiress, and the wife of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere.
She was arrested and subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London for the duration of a year from November 1321 to November 1322, making her the first recorded female prisoner in the Tower's history.
She was jailed on account of having ordered an armed assault on Isabella of France, Queen consort of King Edward II of England.
Before Margaret had instructed her archers to fire upon Isabella and her escort, she had refused the Queen admittance to Leeds Castle where her husband, Baron Badlesmere held the post of governor, but which was legally the property of Queen Isabella as part of the latter's dowry.
Margaret surrendered the castle on 31 October 1321 after it was besieged by the King's forces using ballistas.
Edward's capture of Leeds Castle was the catalyst which led to the Despenser War in the Welsh Marches and the north of England.
Upon her release from the Tower, Margaret entered a religious life at the convent house of the Minorite Sisters outside Aldgate.
King Edward granted her a stipend to pay for her maintenance.
