Valence, Aymer de, earl of Pembroke (
c.1270–1324). Valence's father William was a half-brother of Henry III, being a son of John's widow Isabella by her second marriage, and came to England in 1247. He fought on the king's side in the baronial wars and commanded against the Welsh in the 1280s. Aymer de Valence inherited in 1296 and spent his early years campaigning in Scotland, fighting at
Falkirk (1298) and defeating Robert I Bruce at
Methven in 1306. The following year he was himself defeated by Bruce at
Loudoun Hill. In 1307 he was recognized as earl of Pembroke by virtue of his mother, a granddaughter of William
Marshal, earl of Pembroke (d. 1219). In Edward II's reign he was at first an
Ordainer but switched to the king's side after the murder of
Gaveston, who was seized from his custody. He fought with the king at
Bannockburn and was subsequently employed watching the Scots and on diplomatic missions. His widow founded Pembroke College, Cambridge.
