Guncelin de Badlesmere (c.1232–c.1301), son of Bartholomew de Badlesmere (died 
1248), was Justice of Chester and Cheshire in England.[1]

Guncelin de Badlesmere was appointed to the office of Justice of Chester and 
Cheshire on 16 October 1274.[2] He held this position until 1281, when Reynold de 
Grey was appointed to this role and Gunselm was instructed to deliver the associated 
premises to him with effect from 29 September of that year.[3]

An example of his close connection with the Crown appears in the account of the 
delivery of the royal seal of King Edward I by his son Edward to the Lord Chancellor, 
John de Langeton, which took place at Tonbridge Castle, Kent on 27 August 1297, 
with Sir Guncelin de Badlesmere being one of the witnesses.[4]

Gunselin was evidently still alive on 22 March 1299/1300, when Walter de Gloucester, 
as "escheator this side the Trent", was instructed to investigate allegations that 
Guncelm had damaged property belonging to the estate of Edward, son and heir of 
Philip Burnel, a minor whom the King had committed into Guncelin's custody.[5]

On 13 April 1301, a writ was issued to initiate enquiries into the identity of the next 
heir of lands that had been held directly from the King by Guncelin de Badlesmere. 
Presumably, he had died shortly before that date. An inquisition post mortem held on 
30 April of that year in respect of land he held in Kent at Badlesmere and 
Donewelleshethe confirmed that the next heir was his son Bartholomew de 
Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere (c.1275–1322).[6]

By 4 October 1302, it was established that the damage to Edward Burnel's inheritance 
had taken place before Gunselin became involved. Therefore, the lands concerned 
were to be delivered to the executors of Gunselin's will.[7]

He died in the 29th year of the reign of Edward I (in 1301), and was buried in 
Badlesmere church, where in 1800 it was reported that his wooden cross-legged effigy 
could still be found.[1]
