Sir Guncelin Badlesmere (died 1301), also written as Gunselm, was an English judge and administrator from Kent. [1] [2] [3]
From a family of minor gentry in the village of Badlesmere, who had served as knights and judges, he was born before 1243 as the son of Batholomew Badlesmere. [3]
Attached to the royal household as a knight banneret, [1] in 1274 he replaced Reginald Grey as Justice of Chester [2] [1] on an annual salary of 67 pounds. To this responsibility was added in 1278 the custody of Flint Castle and Rhuddlan Castle, plus another 67 pounds a year.[ citation needed ] He remained justice of Chester until 1281, when Grey was reappointed. [1] In 1285 and in 1297 he is recorded as serving overseas and in 1297 he was one of the witnesses to the ceremony in Tonbridge Castle at which John Langton was invested with the royal seal as Lord Chancellor.[ citation needed ]
He died shortly before 13 April 1301, [1] and was reportedly buried in Badlesmere church, where a wooden cross-legged effigy was erected. [3]
The name of his wife is in fact unknown, [1] though older accounts used to name her as Margaret or Joan FitzBernard, [2] and sources mention three children:

Baron Badlesmere was a title in the Peerage of England. On 26 October 1309 Bartholomew Badlesmere, Governor of Bristol Castle, was summoned to Parliament, creating a barony by writ.

Theoretically, the title remains "abeyant" between the descendants of his four sisters.
