Hello Matthew,
I recently came across your descendency chart for the Bloet/Bluet/Blewetts which you have posted in support of the information you and Michael have posted online. The link to this chart is below for anyone who wishs to follow my discussion.

Both Tony Pratt and I wish very much to discuss this chart with you. It is our opinion that you are missing a generation, and that you have confused a line of direct descent between Ralph III down to John Bluet died 1317.
We have both charter evidence and land records showing the descent to follow Ralph III...Ralph IV (married Eve)...to Sir William IV who came of age in 1251 (so could not be the William son of Ralph III, who was born approx. 1185)...this Sir William is the brother of Ralph V, and William is also the father of John Bluet, who died in 1317...who's two daughter were minors at the time of his death.
There are three different lines of descent here, and I had a terrible time sorting them out myself. Crouch's article in the DNB is very good as a template, but then you have to go to the charters and the rolls. Secondary information is only as good as the source it supples and that needs to be checked also.
I question the marriage between a William II as you list and a daughter of William Marshal, I know that Crouch mentions it, but he gives no actual source citation for it, therefore it is unsupportable. I believe that Crouch misread the Charter he quotes, and that William is the 1/2 brother of Richard de Clare through a marriage between His father Ralph II and Gilbert de Clare's widow Isabella de Beaumont...the timing makes it possible. The Charter says brother of Comte Ricardo, and yes this could mean the brother-in-law, but if that were the case...then why would the charter be confirmed and witnessed in the court of Robert II, 2nd earl of Leicester?
Hoping to hear from you, and I also hope your summer break has gone well.
Cheers,
Karen Repko
