 Baron William D'Albini
In 1201, when the Barons refused to follow their Sovereign into France, King John demanded that their castles should be given up to him as security for their allegiance, beginning with William d'Albini; and therewith Belvoir Castle, instead of which d'Albini gave him his son, William, as a hostage.
After he joined the Baron's party, d'Albini entered with great spirit into their cause and was excommunicated but, after having gained their point, he was looked upon with suspicion by the other Sureties, because he did not attend the grand tournament in Staine's Wood on 29 June 1215, to celebrate the victory.
Upon this, Nicholas d'Albini, one of the Baron's sons and a Clerk in Orders, delivered the keys to the King, asking only that his father should be mercifully treated.

GEOFFREY de SAYE, the Surety, was in arms with the other Barons against the King, and consequently his extensive lands and possessions in ten counties were seized.
Six of the counties we can name: Northampton, Cambridge, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincoln, but we cannot be sure of what Castles in those areas were Geoffrey's, or which other four counties he could claim.
Perhaps the march on Rochester was a sop to the Barons' consciences.

The house is inclosed with four courts, E. The front court, through which is the grand approach to the house, looks towards the west; from whence you have a fine prospect to the Surrey hills before you, and Seven-oak hills on the right.
The town and castle of Tunbridge, the navigable river Medway, and the rich meadows through which it runs, finely diversified with corn-fields, pasturage, hop-gardens, and orchards, are here in full view, and form a most beautiful scene.
From the opposite court, on the west side of the house, are seen the Canterbury hills, near Dover, at the distance of about fifty miles; but this view, and the several objects it comprises, is best enjoyed from a rising hill, on which grow two large oaks, at a little distance southward from the house.

In such a small craft there was never room for anyone who did not give 101% and that happened in work and play.
Prior to joining 'ECHO' I, like so many others, had watched her and her sisters disappear down the Medway as soon as the sun came out and temperatures started to rise and return as soon as the autumn winds blew the mercury down again.
They then used to tuck themselves into a quiet corner of No.3 Basin to do nothing more than give shelter to a few tanned faces who were only seen to dive down a hatch about 0800 each morning and re-emerge around 1600 to move gazelle-like towards Gillingham Gate.
