Waleran de Beaumont, succeeded to the title of Comte de Meulan [France] on 5 June 1118. In September 1118 he remained faithful to King Henry I during the rebellon which broke out. In 1123 he was drawn into a conspiracy with William Clito, son of Robert 'Curthose.' On 26 March 1124 at Bourgtéroude, France, he was captured by the King. In 1129 the King set him free, and gave him back his lands. He was created 1st Earl of Worcester [England] circa 1138.
