You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((short description|11th-century English tenant-in-chief))
'''Osbern fitzRichard''' (sometimes '''Osbern fitz Richard Scrob''';<ref name=Baxter122>Baxter ''Earls of Mercia'' p. 122</ref> died after 1088) was a Frenchman, perhaps Norman, who was a landowner and tenant-in-chief in England. Osbern served as a royal judge and sided with the baronial rebels at the start of King [[William II of England|William II]]'s reign, although he later returned to the king's service.

==Background==
Osbern was the son of [[Richard Scrob]], who arrived in England before the [[Norman Conquest of England]].<ref name=Sanders75>Sanders ''English Baronies'' p. 75</ref> Richard's origins are not known for certain, except that he from France, and may have been a Norman. Richard was the builder of [[Richard's Castle]] in Herefordshire, one of the few castles in England that predates the Norman Conquest.<ref name=ODNB>Lewis "Osbern fitz Richard" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''</ref>

==Career==
Osbern held Richard's Castle at the time of [[Domesday Book]] in 1086. His holding of Richard's Castle as a tenant-in-chief is considered to have made him a [[English feudal barony|feudal baron]].<ref name=Sanders75/> Domesday Book records Osbern as owning lands adjacent to his father's lands in 1066, while his father was still alive.<ref name=ODNB/>

Osbern added to the lands he had held in 1066 not only by inheritance from his father, but also from his marriage, from royal gifts, and by enfeoffment from other landholders such as the bishop of Worcester and [[Roger de Montgomery]], the earl of Shrewsbury. His lands in 1086 were situated in [[Worcestershire]], [[Warwickshire]], [[Nottinghamshire]], and [[Bedfordshire]]. They were worth over 100 [[Pound sterling|pounds]] a year.<ref name=ODNB/>

Osbern served as a royal judge in Worcestershire during the 1080s, and during the [[Rebellion of 1088]] took the side of the baronial rebels against King [[William II of England|William II]]. His disaffection from the king was not long-lasting, as he later served William.<ref name=ODNB/>

==Family and legacy==

Osbern married Nesta or Nest, the daughter of [[Gruffydd ap Llywelyn]]<ref name=DP316>Keats-Rohan ''Domesday People'' p. 316</ref> and [[Ealdgyth (daughter of Ælfgar, Earl of Mercia)|Ealdgyth]]. Ealdgyth was the daughter of [[Ælfgar, Earl of Mercia]].<ref name=ODNB/>

Osbern and his wife had a son, [[Hugh fitzOsbern]],<ref name=Sanders75/> and a daughter, Nesta (or perhaps Agnes), who married [[Bernard de Neufmarché]].<ref name=DP316/> Osbern perhaps had another son, Turstin, who is named as the brother of Hugh fitzOsbern in a charter of [[Osbern fitzPons]].<ref name=DP316/>

Osbern's date of death is unknown, occurring sometime after 1088,<ref name=ODNB/> perhaps after 1100. His heir was his son, Hugh.<ref name=Sanders75/>
