[NOTE] A second source has him as "Hugh de Kevelioc de Meschines". A third as "Hugh Kiveliock".
1153 Earl Randle Gernon was poisoned "by witchcraft" - supposedly by William Peverell, Earl of Nottingham. Hugh of Kevelioc becomes Earl (-1181) - [3]
Hugh De Keveliock Earl of Chester. born 1147 died Cyveliog, Merionthshire, Wales. Here we see an indication in Hugh's death, of the involvement in the subjugation of the Welsh. The Arms of Hugh are distinguished from all other Earls of Chester by having six garbs rather than three. - [1]
Hugh Kevelioc de Meschines, Earl of Chester, was surnamed from the place of his birth. He joined in the rebellion of the Earl of Leicester and the King of Scots, against King Henry II, and in support of that monarch's son, Prince Henry's pretensions to the crown. He was taken prisoner, with the Earl of Leicester, at Alnwick, but obtained his freedom soon afterwards upon the king's reconciliation with the young prince. Again, however, hoisting the banner of revolt, both in England and in Normandy, with as little success. he was again seized, and then detained a prisoner for some years. He eventually, however, obtained his liberty and restoration of his lands, when public tranquillity became completely re-established some time about the 23rd year of the king's reign. - [2]
