INTRODUCTION.

THIS present volume brings the series of inquisitions for the
county of York down to the end of the reign of Edward I.
Besides the inquisitions post mortem and ad quod damnum,
now divided into separate series, the inquisitions and proofs of age,
which are mentioned in the Abbreviatio placitorum as being on the
Curia ^ Regis or Coram Rege Rolls, are also given. To exhaust this
latter source one document of a later date, the proof of age of
Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas de Multon, and wife of
RanulpK Dacre, taken in 1316, is also printed. The character of the
inquisitions is very similar to that of those in previous volumes.
Very few are of any length, and the only important persons whose
inq. p. m. are here printed, are Gilbert de Gaunt, two Robert de
Tateshales, John de Walton, and Walter de Faucumberge, the con-
nection of Edmund de Mortimer and Dionisia de Monte Caniso or
Mounchensy with the county being very slight.

There are eight proofs of age : Adam de Everingham, Peter de
Mauley, Thomas de Verdon, Anketin Salvayn, John Tempest, Emma
de Rilleston, Herbert St. Quintin, and Margaret de Multon ; all taken
in Yorkshire, except St. Quintin's, which was taken in Dorsetshire.
The information in these proofs of age, though for the most part
genealogical, is of a very varied character. From one (page 16) we
learn that archbishop William Wickwane dedicated the parish church
at Sheffield about 1286, and from another (pages 73, 74) that the
same archbishop also dedicated the abbey church of St. Mary, York,
and the parish church of Gilling-in-Ryedale in 1283, facts which are
not mentioned in that prelate's register. The reasons given why the
witnesses remembered the date of the heir's birth are very curious.
In two cases the witnesses give as a reason that it took place in
holiday time, when they were respectively aged over 19 and 9.
One witness (page 92) had good cause to remember the event, as
just before he had been so severely thrashed at school that he was

IV INTRODUCTION.

obliged to leave. He seems to have been 20 at the time. One
witness (page 74), who had been godfather to the heir, was barely
five at the time of his birth, a somewhat early age to undertake such
an office.

The inq. ad q. d. are of a very miscellaneous character. The
majority of them are concerned with grants for religious objects
under the Statutes of Mortmain, which continued to be very strictly
enforced, so that, unless the sanction of the Crown was obtained,
which was generally only granted after an inquisition had been taken
reporting in favour of the grant, such grant was invalid. Nearly all
such grants were to religious houses for their own uses, but in
three cases — Nos. viii., xxxiv., Lxviir. — parish churches at Burton
Fleming, Barwick-in-Elmet, and Wath-upon-Dearne were benefited.
The solitary grant to the Templars (No. xxxi.), really only an
exchange, is in striking contrast with the five (Nos. vi., lix., lxxxi.,
Lxxxin., cxxviii.) to the rival Order of the Hospitallers, and may
be regarded as a token of their unpopularity and coming fall. The
sporting rights of the Crown were guarded with as much strictness
by Edward I. as by the Conqueror, who was said to love the big
game as if he were their father. Four inquisitions (Nos. xv., lxvi.,
Lxx., xcv.) relate to the great forest of Galtres, which had a special
prison in York for the safe custody of trespassers there, kept by one
Philip le Lardiner (No. i-xxvi.), who was bound to provide for the
King's larder in that forest (No. xcv.), presumably when hunting
there. Two other royal forests are mentioned, that of Knaresborough
(No. cxxv.), the parkers of which were appointed by the King, and
the one between the rivers Dove and Seven, where the abbot of
St. Mary's, York, was the King's forester (No. cxix.). The sporting
rights of subjects were subjected to strict supervision, and, as in the
case of the chaces of John de Mowbray in Burton-in-Lonsdale and
Nidderdale, the bounds were carefully set out (No. cxxxv.).

The new town of Kingston-upon-Hull still continued to receive
marks of the King's fostering care. To enable merchants to go
there to sell their goods, an inquisition was ordered to" be taken to
ascertain where roads could be made most conveniently for that
purpose. These roads are set out in very considerable detail in
three inquisitions taken in 1303 (No. xxxv.). In his wish to promote
the prosperity of this town, the King seems to have acted unjustly

INTRODUCTION. V

towards Sir John de Sutton, who complained that the King, by
granting a ferry over the river Hull to the burgesses of Hull, had
encroached upon his ferry, as the land on the Holderness side
belonged to him. For this Sutton never seems to have received any
compensation. Other subjects of inquiry were lunacy (No. xviii.),
the diversion of roads (Nos. vii., xxvii.), and weirs in the Ouse
(Nos. III., cxii.).

The findings of the jurors often contain very curious information.
In the borough of Hedon (page 31) it appears that non-burgesses as
well as burgesses could, ever since the time of Henry II., devise their
tenements in that borough, and this whether the non-burgesses were
at scot and lot with the burgesses or not. In a previous volume
(iii., 93) a similar custom is mentioned at Scarborough, where the
tenants could devise their tenements when on their death-bed. At
Huntington, near York, the tenant forfeited at his death a third part
of his chattels to the lord of the manor (No. vi.). Uncommon kinds
of property are occasionally mentioned, as a catch of eels at Brandes-
burton (page 33), and a mine of sea-coal and a quarry of millstones
at Masham (page 58). There are very few references to the wars in
Scotland or Wales. Money was sent by the city of York to the
King when fighting in Wales in 1282 (page 73), and in 1316 the
Southern Escheator excused himself for not attending before the
King as he had to go with the army to that country (page 151). To
the Scotch troubles, so near at hand, there are only two references.
A mill at Barnard Castle, which had belonged to John Bailliol, was
seized by the King (No. cxxvii.), and a man got a small office as a
small recompense for six months' imprisonment in Scotland after the
defeat at Rosslyn, and the payment of a ransom of 20//. (No. cxxvi.).
Pilgrimages are twice noticed, one to the Holy Land (page 121), and
the other to St. James of Compostella (p. 14'jn.).

The subject of tenure constantly occurs in this volume. It nearly
always involved suit of court. In most cases the tenant was bound
to attend the Manor court every three weeks. This rule applied
equally to the Knights' Court at Skipton Castle (Nos. lxxv., lxxix.).
Sometimes the attendance involved long and costly journeys. At the
Manor court of Topclifife tenants attended from Nafferton, near
Driffield, and other places in the East Riding, and from Preston-in-
Craven (pages 70, 116), distances of nearly forty miles; and the lord

VI INTRODUCTION.

of Wath-upon-Dearne had to go nearly as far to attend his lord's
court at Skipton-in-Craven (page 139). Tenants, however, of the
archbishop of York at Beverley were only bound to render suit of
court twice a year (page 70), though his tenants at Ripon had to
come at the usual intervals (No. lvi.). A good example of the suits
due from a chief lord is afforded by those made by Robert de
Tateshale, lord of Hunmanby, who was bound to attend all the
County courts, and the Riding and Wapentake courts once a year
(page 34). The Great County Court, however, seems to have taken
place only once a year (page 116).

The services due from the tenants in bondage are much the
same as in former volumes (pages 20, 32, 33, 34, 63). In some cases
(pages 69, 96) only a money rent was due. Two unusual services
(pages 20, 51) are mentioned, Morlay at Friton, near Malton, and
Horngarth at Newham, near Whitby. The former was defined as a
custom due at Martinmas, perhaps bringing turfs from the moor.
The latter, possibly the predecessor of the Penny Hedge still observed
at Whitby, was defined at a later period as a forinsec service, which
entitled the lord to wardship and marriage.

I. Adam, son and heir of Robert de Everingham.
Proof of age.
[Curia Regis. No. 162, m. 8.]^
"\/'ORKSHiRE. Reciting that Adam de Everingham, son and
^ heir of Robert de Everingham, deceased, who held of
the King in chief, says he is of full age, and prays that the
lands and tenements, wrhich are of his inheritance, may be
restored to him, of which one part is in the custody of Aymo
de Quarto, provost of Beverley, by grant from the King,
another of the executors of the will of Robert Tybotot,
deceased,^ and another of the executors of the will of Robert
de Hertford, deceased, to which Robert and Robert the King
has committed the custody of the two parts to the heir's full
age ; and that thereupon the King granted a day to the said
Adam, who was born at Shireburne in Harefordelithe, and
baptized in the church there, for proving his age ; the sheriff
is ordered to cause to come before the King on that day so
many and such persons, both knights, etc., by whom that
proof may be taken, and the truth of the heir's age be better

"Roll for Michaelmas Terra, 28 and 29 Edw. I. (1300). According to the
Inq. p. m. of Robert de Everingham, which was taken on 3 Aug., 1287, his son and
heir Adam was aged seven on 29 Sept. next coming (Vol. ii., p. 65). Although
this is confirmed by another inquisition taken four days later, the evidence given
above undoubtedly contradicts it. It is here sworn by more than one witness that the
heir was aged twenty-one on the day of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist last
past, in other words, his twenty-first birthday fell on 29 Aug., 1300, so that he was
born on 29 Aug., 1279. He was born at Sherburn in the East Riding, which his
grandfather had settled on his father and mother, Alice de la Hyde, on their
marriage, and was baptised in the parish church there by William de Bossale, the
vicar. His god-parents were Adam, son of John de Everingham (not his grand-
father, who was Adam, son of Robert de Everingham), Ralph de Fritheby, a valet of
the heir's father, and the wife of a certain William, son of Robert.

Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, Eva, widow of Robert Tibbotot, John Buteturte,

be before the King to show cause why the said lands and
tenements should not be restored. The sheriffs of Notting-
hamshire and Lincolnshire were to give similar warning to
the executors of the wills of Robert Tibotot and Robert de
Hertford. Neither Aymo nor the executors came. The sheriff
of Yorkshire returned that he had warned Aymo by Simon
de Sancta Barbara and William Pratte; the sheriff of
Nottinghamshire that he had warned the executors of the
will of Robert Tybotot by Richard Warde of Laxton and
John de Lanum in Laxton ; and the sheriff of Lincolnshire
that he had warned the , executors of the will of Robert de
Hertford by Geoffrey Kyngth of Westburgh and Robert
Fayrman of the same. And now the said Adam comes, and
says he is of full age, and prays that, as the said Aymo and
the executors have been warned and do not come, the proof
of his age be taken in their default. And, inasmuch as
Aymo and the executors have been duly warned, and do not
come, as appears by the return of the said writs, and there
is no hindrance to safely proceeding to take the proof of
age, therefore let the said proof be taken.

Robert de Percy, knight, aged 50, living at Sutton on {sub)
Derewent, distant from Shirebourne in Harefordelithe, where
the heir was born, 20 leagues, sworn and carefully examined,
says that the said heir is of full age, namely 21 years, and
was so on the day of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist
last (29 Aug., 1300). Asked how he knows this, says he has
a daughter, Agnes, who was born on the feast of St. Cuthbert
in September after the heir's birth (4 Sept., 1299), and who
was 21 on the feast of St. Cuthbert last. The godfathers
were Adam de Everingham, son of John de Everingham,
and Ralph de Fritheby. He does not know who was the
godmother or the priest who baptized him. He was baptized
at Shirebourne, in the parish church. Moreover, he says he
is sure about the heir's age, from what his wife told him,
who was sister of the heir's father, and was present at the
heir's birth.

William de Wetewange, aged 50, living nine leagues
from Shirebourne, was at one time in the service of Robert
de Kilwarby, late archbishop of Canterbury (1272-1278), and
after his death came to these parts, and stayed nearly
three years. At that time, that is the second or third day
after a certain feast of the Decollation of St. John the
Baptist, Ralph de Frithebi, who was valet to the heir's
father, told him that the heir's father had a son and heir
born, that is the said heir; and that he was born on the
feast of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist then last,

YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. 3

that is on the third or fourth day before he told him. He
is sure about this by the archbishop's death and by his
stay in these parts. The then vicar of the church of Shire-
burne, who is now dead, baptized him in the church there.

Robert, son of Nigel of Wirthorp,^ aged 38, living four
leagues from Shirebourne, has a younger brother Richard,
born about the first of August (circa gulam Augusti) before
the heir's birth.

Nicholas de Snaynton, aged 38, living at Cnapton,^ three
leagues from Shireburne. The heir's godmother was the
wife of William, son of Robert, but he does not know her
name. He had a niece {neptam), Alice, who died at Michael-
mas 2 1 years ago ; and another niece, Agnes, who had a son
about Martinmas after the heir's birth, and who died in
childbirth twenty years ago last Martinmas.

William Maungevyleyn, aged 40, living at Thurkelby,"
four leagues from Shireburne, was in parts beyond the seas,
and returned to these parts on the feast of St. Hilary before
the heir's birth. The witness's father died on the quinzaine
of St. Michael before the said feast of St. Hilary (13 Oct.,
1278).

Robert Drenge, aged 50, living at Sutton, 3 leagues from
Shirebourne, knows the facts by the talk of the country, his
relations, and friends.

Clement de la Grene, aged 35, living at Seterington, 6
leagues from Shirbourne, used often to come to the market
at Shireburne where the heir was born, and many times
heard his friends and relations, whom he thoroughly believes,
speak of the heir's birth, and the time, and hour ; from whom
he understood he was 21 on the feast of the Decollation of
St. John the Baptist last. Adam de Everingham, the heir's,
grandfather, died rather more than a year after his birth,
and that 20 years will have elapsed on St. Nicholas's day
next (6 Dec.)"* since Adam's death.

Ralph de Barkethorpe, aged 40, living at Quarrum,^ 7
leagues from Shirebourne, married his wife a month before
the heir's birth. Ralph, the heir's godfather, met him on the
day the heir was baptized, and told him of the birth and

Hugh le Paumer, aged 50, living at Seterington, 7 leagues
from Shirebourne, has a firstborn son, John, who was born
on St. Simon and St. Jude's day before the heir's birth
(28 Oct., 1278).

William de Lutton, aged 36, living at Lutton, 3 leagues
from Shirebourne, says that William de Bossale was vicar
of Shirebourne at the time Adam was born and baptized,
who baptised him two years before his resignation. And
he is quite certain about the resignation from the informa-
tion i^per confessionem) of the. said William. Thomas, the
present vicar, who succeeded him, has been vicar for 19
years, as appears by his letter of institution. Adam de
Everingham of Birkin and Ralph de Fritheby, the god-
fathers, often told him about the birth. He also made
inquiries on oath from friends in the neighbourhood who
said they were present on the day he was baptized.

William Maungevileyn of Neuton,^ aged 50, living 4
leagues from Shirburne, says that he and some of his com-
panions, after they were summoned [distruti) by the sheriff
to prove on their oaths the heir's age, made careful inquiries
of his age, and that they all agreed in what is said above.

John de Menigthorpe, aged 40, living in Grimmeston,'' 7
miles from Shirburne, says Ralph de Fritheby, one of the
godfathers, has a manor in Grimmeston, and in going to
Shirbourne to act as Adam's godfather {ad ipsum Adam de
fonte levandum) he supped at his manor, that is on the day
of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist, 2 1 years ago ;
and with him this witness and Adam de Everingham, the
other godfather. His own father, Geoffrey, was then alive,
and died on the feast of the Purification next after the birth
(2 Feb., 1279-80).

The heir, on being asked, says he is unmarried. And as
the said heir has sufficiently proved his age before the lord
King, and it is also clear by the appearance of the body of
the said Adam, that he is of full age, therefore let him have
seisin of the lands and tenements, falling to him from his
inheritance ; saving to the lord King his right in the heir's
marriage, if it appertains to him. And this record is sent
to the Chancellor.^

born at Mulgreve in the county of York, and baptized in
the church of the same vill, as it is said, for proving his age
before the King on this day, namely, on the quinzaine of
St. John the Baptist (8 July, 1300), wherever, &c.; the sheriff
was ordered to cause to come so many and such men, both
knights and others, freemen of the said county, by whom
the said proof can be taken, and the truth of the age of the
said Peter better known and inquired into ; and to make
known to Thomas (de Button) ,"1 bishop of Exeter, Hugh,

said term, to shew if they should have, or be able to say
anything, why the King ought not to restore the said lands
and tenements to the aforesaid Peter as being of full age,
if he be of full age. And the sheriff made return that he
had warned them by William de Edenham and Alexander
del Banke. And William de Berford and Walter de Ayles-
bury came at the warning, but Thomas, bishop of Exeter,
and Hugh, abbot of Hayles, did not come ; therefore let
the proof of age be taken in their default. William de

born early in the morning [circa horam gallicantiis) of the same day in 1278-9, at
Mulgrave, and baptised some eight or nine days later in the chapel of the castle
of Mulgrave by the prior of Grosmont, his godfathers being Peter de Rotheresfeld
and William de Roseles, and his godmother Maude, wife of Robert de Acclom.
The day of his birth was remarkable for a great storm of a violence unusual at the
time of year. When this proof was taken the heir was already married.

Richard de Twenge of Mikelby,'' knight, aged 60, living
one league's distance from Mulgreve Castle, where the heir
was born, sworn and carefully examined, says that the heir
is of full age, namely 21 years, and was so on 10 March last.
Asked how he knows this, says that the heir was born about
the hour of cock-crowing {circa horam gallicantus), and that
on the next morning a valet of the heir's father came to his
house, and told him of his heir. On the third day after he
went to the castle, and there spoke with the heir's father,
who then told him of the heir's birth. His wife was present
at the purification of the heir's mother. He says, further,
that the heir was baptized in the chapel of Mulgreve Castle
on the ninth day after his birth, and Peter de Rotheresfeld
and William de Roseles were his godfathers, and Maude de
Acclom, wife of Robert de Acclom, was his godmother. The
then prior of Gromund baptized him. Of the other circum-
stances he has been informed by the talk of the country.

John Wirfauke of Hilderwelle,'' aged 40, living two leagues
distance from Mulgreve Castle, says the heir was of full age
in the middle of March. He agrees with the previous juror
as to the baptism, hour of birth, godfathers and godmother,
and place of baptism, except that he says the heir was
baptized on the eighth day after his birth. The witness has
an elder {anfenatum) son and heir, John, born on the day
after the heir's birth, who was 2 1 years of age in the middle
of last March.

William de Warhou of Elredby,<= aged 60, living two

time of his death 21 years elapsed on the feast of the
Purification last past.

Adam, son of Nicholas of Barneby,^ aged 30, living half
a league from Mulgreve Castle, says the heir was born on
a Wednesday morning,'' and that his father, Nicholas, went
the same day after nine o'clock [post nonam) to the castle
to see the heir; and that he himself went with his father,
and heard all talking in the castle about the heir's birth.

of the country.

William, son of Alice of Mikelby, aged 30, living in
Egeton,° three leagues from Mulgreve Castle, has married
two wives, and i8 years have elapsed since he married his
first wife, and that the heir was then three years old.

Alan de Daneby, aged 50, living in Egeton, is King's
forester of fee [de feodo), and was so at the time of the heir's
birth. He came on the morning of his birth to the castle,
and was asked to take and send a kid [capriolum) for the
heir's mother, and he then heard all in the castle talking

full age of the same Thomas, wherefore the King granted
a day to the same Thomas, who was born at Wh)rtstan in
the same county, and baptized in the church of the same

=> Licence granted on 15 March, lyi^ (Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1301-1307, p. 215).

The date of this proof of age must be after 24 April, 1295 (Cal. Gen., p. 766),
the date of the writ for the Diem clausit extreinum of John de Verdun (Cal. Gen.,
p. 766), and before 28 Jan., 1300-1, when Thomas de Verdon seems to have already
attained his majority (Ibid., p. 608). One witness gives as the reason for remembering
the date that Sheffield Church was dedicated by Archbishop Wickwane seventeen
years before, when the heir was aged four. The heir was born at Whiston, near
Rotherham, twenty-one years before, and baptized in the church there on the
fourth day after the Epiphany (10 Jan.), one of his godfathers, Thomas de Bosevyle,
being a witness. His mother was Alionora, or Eleanor, daughter of Thomas de Fumi-
val. All the witnesses were alive in 1297 except two, Robert de Bosevile and Lambert
de Sheffeud. See Yorkshire Lay Subsidy, 25 Edw. I. No person of the name of
Thornas appears in the Verdon pedigree at this time. Possibly he died without
issue soon after attaining his majority, and so is unnoticed in the accounts of the
family. As his mother, Eleanor, had to bring an action for her dower against her
husband's son and heir, Theobald, son of John de Verdon (Calendar of Patent Rolls,
pp. 288, 322), it seems likely she was his second wife, and that Thomas was heir to
his father for lands settled in special tail. On 17 March, 1296, she had licence
from the King to marry Richard de Breous (Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1 292-1 301,
p. 185). On 26 July, 1295, the King granted to Bogo de Knovill, to the use of
Margaret, his daughter, the marriage of Thomas, son and heir of John de Verdon,
tenant in ch\ei(Idid., p. 157).

vill, as it is said, for proving his age before the King from
Easter day during one month ; he was to cause to come at
the said term so many and such men, both knights and
other lawful and honest men, by whom the said inquisition
could be taken, and the truth of the age of the said Thomas
better known and inquired into.

Similar order to the sheriff of Northants., who was to
warn Malculm de Harle, the escheator, and John de Ferrariis,
to whom the King had granted the custody of the minor's
lands and tenements in that county until his full age, to be
present to show if they had cause why the King ought not
to restore his heritage to the' said Thomas if he be of full
age, as to one who is of full age.

The same Thomas comes and also the jurors, and the
said Thomas says that he is of age, and seeks that they
proceed to take the proof of his age. The said Malculm
and John do not come. And the sheriff now sent word
[mandamt) that he had informed the said Malculm by Simon
de Setford of Briklesworth'' and Henry de Schaldewell of the
same; and at another time {alias), namely on the morrow of
the Purification of the Blessed Mary last past (Feb. 3), he
sent word that he had informed the said John de Ferrariis
by Henry de Schaldwell and Thomas de la Chaumbre, William
de Houton and William Prest of the same. Therefore let
them proceed to take the proof of age of the said Thomas in
consequence of their default.

Edmund Foliot, aged fifty, sworn and carefully examined
as to the age of the said Thomas de Verdon, says that the
same Thomas was born at Whistan in the county of York,
and Ijaptized in the church of the same vill on the fourth
day after the Epiphany of the Lord last past, twenty-one
years ago. Asked how he knows this, says by this that he
belongs to the vill of Handesworth in the neighbourhood {de
vicinio) of Whytstan, from which it is distant three leagues ;
and by this also that he was present where he was baptized

=" Now Brixworth. Inquisition taken at Briclesworth on Monday before the
feast of St. Gregory the Pope, 29 Edw. I. (6 March, 1300-1), before John Druel,
sheriff of Northants., as to whether any antecessor of John de Verdoun had gallows
in the manor of Briclesworth. The jury found that Simon le Voyde, his antecessor,
had gallows in the time of King Henry vetus, ^d he and his antecessors from
before legal memory. " Et quod nunquam per aliquem prostrate fuerunt, set
tempore predicti Siraonis per putrefaccionem ceciderunt, et nunquam postea fuerunt
releuate. Dictus Thomas de jure frercas in manerio suo predicto de Briclesworth
habere debet " {Inq. post mortem, 29 Edw. I., No. 59). On 29 April, 1295, the King
granted to John de Ferrariis, the King's yeoman, the custody during the minority
of the heir of the manor of Brikelesworth, late belonging to John de Verdon,
tenant in chief {Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1292-1301, p. 134). 12 Feb., 1301, a
grant was made of gallows at Brikelesworth to Thomas de Verdon, King's yeoman
{Ibid., p. 580). - '

at the place, day and year aforesaid. And because in the
same year Thomas de Furnyval, grandfather of the said
Thomas, persuaded Sir Richard Folyot [procuravti erga
dominum Ricardum' Folyot), father of this Edmund, to grant
the same Edmund the manor of Rysun in the county of
Lincoln. And hereby he well knows that the said Thomas is
of full age, and as to the other circumstances he is informed
by the talk of the country {certus est per dictum patrie) .

Thomas de Furneus, aged forty and upwards, giving the
cause of his knowledge, says that it was in consequence of
his having been at that time constable of Sheffield Castle,

which is distant from Whytstan ; and because he

was then in the service of Sir Thomas de Furnyvaus,- his
lord, grandfather of the said Thomas de Verdon, who then

was at Yet this juror [juratus) was present, as he

says, at Whytstan on the day the said Thomas was born,
but not at his baptism. And he says that the report of his
birth came immediately to the said castle to this juror,
because his lord was father of Alionora, mother of the said
Thomas de Verdon.

Thomas de Bosevyle, forty years old and upwards, sworn

and carefully examined which {quod) is of Derfeud,

which is distant from Whytstan five leagues. Asked how
he knows this, says that this juror was present where he
was baptized with Sir Thomas de Furnyvaus, then his lord,
and that he, the said juror, on the said day, place and year
lifted {levavit) the said Thomas from the sacred font.^' By
this he well knows and remembers about the lapse of so
much time, because in the same year, a little after the feast
of the Purification of the Blessed Mary (Feb. 2), he married
Dyonisia, his wife, who is still living.

Robert de Bosevyle of the vill of Neuhalle, which is
distant from Whytstan six leagues, of the county of York,
of the age of forty years and upwards, asked how he knows
this, says because he on the said day, place and year was
at a certain party [in quodavi convivio) at Bolton*" at the
house of Richard le Chaumberleyn, where immediately after
the said Thomas the younger was born, a report of his birth
immediately came, and those staying there rejoiced much at
the report. Asked how he knows about the lapse of time,
says because Agnes, daughter of this same juror, was born
in the same year on the vigil of the Circumcision of the
Lord (Dec. 31), a little before the said Thomas was born.

" That is, was his godfather.

YORKSHIRE INQXHSITIONS. 15

Peter de Rodes, of the county of York,^ of the neigh-
bourhood {de confinio) of Whytstan, aged forty years and
upwards, asked how he knows this, says because he had a
certain son, Richard by name, who now is in the parts
beyond the sea, who was born in the same year as the said
Thomas, that is three days afterwards.

JoUan de Neuton of the vill of "Whytstan, forty years old
and upwards, gives the cause of his knowledge, because the
same Peter (de Rodes) had a certain son of the same age,
about whom the same Peter deposed, and because Agnes,
this juror's mother, lifted the said Thomas (de Verdon) from
the sacred font. As to the lapse of time he well remembers,
because the same year he was a scholar at Lincoln, and
came home the same year at Christmas, as it was holiday
time [quia vacacionis tempus fuit).

Adam de Breretwesel of the vill of Wath', 26 years and
upwards, says he knows this by his father's will, who, as he
says, died in the same year a little before the Whitsontide
before Thomas was born.

William de Dernhale, distant from Whytstan two leagues,
34 years, asked how he knows this, and about the lapse of
time, says because in the same year about Michaelmas he
married Dulcia, his wife, still alive, and he says that after-
wards the said Thomas was born on the fourth day after the
Epiphany (Jan. 10).

Robert de la Barre of the vill of Whytstan, forty and
upwards, giving the cause of his knowledge, because he was
then present at Whytstan, and carried to his lord, the said
Thomas de Furnyvaus, the report of the said birth. As to
the lapse of time he well remembers, because the said
Sir Thomas, whose butler he then was, gave him the same
year immediately afterwards for the said report a certain
piece of land [quamdam lerram) in the said county, which
he still holds.

Thomas de Boys of Schefifeud, distant from Whytstan four
leagues, thirty years and upwards, agrees in all points with
the one sworn next before, and says he was present on the
day, place and year, on which the said Thomas was born,
with Adam de Boys, father of this juror, who then served
Sir Thomas de Furnyvaus. And for this cause he well
remembers as to the lapse of time, as he says, because before
that {anted) he was at school {scholaris), and then came home
from school to talk with his father, whom he then found
there.

"Peter del Rodes paid to the Subsidy in- 1297 for personalty at Morthen, pai'.

1 6 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

Lambert de ShefFeud, distant from Whytstan five leagues,
forty years and upwards, agrees with the one sworn next
before, giving the cause of his knowledge, because he is of
Scheffeud, which then belonged to the said Thomas de
P'urnyvaus, and immediately after the birth of the said
Thomas de Verdon the report was published there, and the
people there rejoiced much, because their lord was father of
Alianora, mother of the said Thomas de Verdon. Questioned
how he remembers about the lapse of time, says because the
church of ShefFeud was dedicated by Archbishop deWikewan
seventeen years ago, and then, as he says, the said Thomas
was four years old.

Adam le Kok of ShefFeud, forty years and upwards,
agrees in all points with those sworn before, giving the cause
of his knowledge, because he was then with Sir Thomas de
Furnyvaus, father of Alianora, mother of the said Thomas.
And he says by this he remembers as to the lapse of time,
because the juror's father died in the same year, on the
morrow of the Purification of the Blessed Mary (Feb. 3),
and by this he well knows that the said Thomas is of the
said age.

And because the said Thomas has sufiiciently proved his
age, and because it also is evident by the appearance of his
body that he is of full age, namely twenty-one years,
therefore let him have seisin of the lands and tenements
which are of his heritage. This record is sent to Chancery.

jurors are unable to say whether William Berchaud is an idiot
or not, as they have never seen him, as he has dwelt in
Holderness in the county of York from the time of his birth.
They have heard say that he was an idiot from the time of
his birth, but they do not know from personal knowledge.
John de Danethorp, who was an idiot from the time of his
birth, was William's Mr\c\e [avunculus) . The same William,
son of Alice, one of the sisters of the said John, and Joan,
daughter of Margery, another of John's sisters, who is of full
age and discretion (dtscreta), are John's next heirs. By reason
of John's idiotcy the King committed to Adam le Wayt^
the custody of John's hereditary lands and tenements in
Alneburgh, in the county of Cumberland, which were seised
into the King's hand in consequence of John's death, on
St. Nicholas's day after his death (Dec. 6).

T HAVE personally examined William Berchot', and have
-^ clearly ascertained from an examination carefully made
of him, that the same William is an idiot and not of sound
mind, and has been so continually from the time of his
birth, and that he enjoys no lucid intervals, but, as I have
heard from them amongst whom the said William has been
living for many years, that sometimes he becomes worse with
attacks of madness, and is more savage [aliquando per

that in the last Parliament he had presented a bill for the custody of the property
of which William Berchot was heir, who was born an idiot [qi est fol nasfre), and
that a writ of inquiry was ordered to be taken on the bill. This inquiry had been
taken and returned under the seal of the Exchequer. Now Adam prayed the King
that the property might be granted to him; for what he had from the other idiot,
who was Adam's uncle (that is John de Danthorpe) he had loyally spent in the
King's service, so that it would be impossible for him to support his rank, unless
he had assistance from this property. On March ii, 1303, Adam de Skyrewyth,
the King's watchman, had a grant of the custody of the lands, late of John de
Danthorpe, an idiot, in the towns ol Alnburgh and Danthorp, which should fall
by hereditary right to William Berchet (sic), nephew and one of the heirs of the said
idiot, but who was also an idiot, to hold for the life of the said William, or until
he should return to siaxa\y {Calendar of Patent Rolls {\io\--]),f. 123).

Writ to Mr. Richard de Haveringe, escheator citra, dated at Stratheghyn,
28 July, 31st year (1303).
[m. 10]

Inquisition made at Fyvele on St. Bartholomew's day,
*■ 3 1 Edw. (24 Aug., 1 303), by William Clerk of Hundemanby,
Azo de Flixton, Thomas Fauuel, clerk, Thomas de Buckton,

" Herbert St. Quintin held the manors of Staunton Quintin and Frome Quintin,
in Gloucestershire, of the Earl of Gloucester. The proof of the heir is printed
in No. cm.

'' His father's inquisition was taken in 1298 (Vol. iii., p. 66). The age of the heir
is not given in the Yorkshire inquisition, but from one of the Lincolnshire
inquisitions (m. 3), for the wapentake of Elowe, taken at Tyd, on Wednesday after
the Decollation of St. John the Baptist, 31 Edw. I. (4 Sept., 1303), it appears that
Robert, the son and heir, was aged 15. The other Lincolnshire inquisition (m. 6),
taken at Bardeneye, on Thursday after St. Matthew the Apostle's day (26 Sept.,
1303), states he was 13 on St. Edward's day last {5 Jan., 1302-3), which is confirmed
by the one taken for Suffolk (m. 7). The Leicestershire inquisition (m. 8), taken at
Holewelle, by Melton Mowbray, on Monday after St. Bartholomew's day (26 Aug.,
1303), concurs in stating that the heir was 13, and adds that Robert de Tateshale,
the father, died on Sunday after the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula (4 Aug., 1303).
On Oct. I, 1303, the King, at Loghendorm, ordered the escheator to assign dower
to Eva, Robert de Tateshale's widow, in her husband's lands, but not in Yorkshire
{fiot. Finium, 31 Edw. I., m. 5).

"= Her Inq. p. m. for the county of Hertford was taken at Anesty, on Monday
before the feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle, 32 Edw. I. (8 June, 1304). She died
seised of the castle and manor of Anesty, the manor of Mesdone, and lands there
and in Little Ansty and Little Hormede. Dionisia, wife of Hugh de Veer and
daughter of the late William de Monte Caniso, son of the said Dionisia de Monte
Caniso, aged twenty years and more, was her next heir (Curia Regis, No. 178, m. 33).
Although the juries summoned in Yorkshire and Hertfordshire were unanimous in
their finding that Dionisia's grand-daughter, the wife of Hugh de Veer, was her
next heir, her property was claimed by her deceased son, William's sister, Joan de
Valence, countess of Pembroke and mother of Aymer de Valence, who was serving
with the King in Scotland at this time, on the ground (hat her brother, William
de Mounchensi, had died without issue. To ascertain the truth, the King, by a
writ dated at Stryvelyn, i July, 1304, and addressed to the sheriff of Essex, ordered
him to command Hugh de Veer and Dionisia, his wife, to appear before the Council
on the octave of Michaelmas next (6 Oct.), to show cause why the lands of Dionisia
de Monte Caniso should not be handed over to the countess of Pembroke. On the
octave only the plaintifT appeared, so the case was adjourned to the Friday before
the feast of the Apostles Simon and Jude (23 Oct. ) This time only the defendants
put in an appearance, and in defence quoted a fine dated Trinity, 44 Hen. III. (1260),
by which William de Monte Caniso settled on Robert le Boliller and Dionisia, his
wife, the manors of Bracstede, in the county of Essex, and Anesti and Hormede,
in Hertfordshire, to hold during Robert's life, with remainder to Dionisia and her
heirs. In return Robert and Dionisia granted to William the manors of Cothereston,
in Norfolk, and Meleton and Wikham, in Kent, in fee (Curia Regis, No. 178, m. 100).
As nothing more appears, it is probable that Dionisia's grand-daughter and her
husband finally obtained the property. Dionisia, widow of Warin de Monte Caniso,
or Munchensi, was daughter and heiress of Nicholas de Anesty. In 1255 her lands

[Curia Regis. No. 178, m. loSrf.f

By an undated writ addressed to the sherilT of Yorkshire, after reciting an
inquisition taken by Master Richard de Havering, escheator this side
Trent, by which it was found that John de Brerton, deceased, held in
chief as of the honour of Knaresburgh', then in the King's hand, certain
lands and tenements in Brereton,'' by homage and the service of loj. 8rf. a.
year, and by boon days {precafiis) extended at gj. a year, and by the service
of doing suit at the court of Knaresburgh' every three weeks, and of
grinding his corn at the mill of Knaresburgh' immediately next the hopper
at one in sixteen,<= but that knight service of great or petit sergeanty was
not due to the King by reason of the homage or services aforesaid ; the
King, having been informed that John, late King of England, in whose
hands the honour was for a long time, had custody of the aforesaid
lands and tenements during the minority of a certain Richard Whit
Rychard, heir of those lands and tenements, with his marriage, and that
all the holders of the said lands, both in the time of the said King John
and of Richard, earl of Cornwall, were of full age up to the time of the
death of Richard de Brerton, by whose death Edmund, late earl of
Cornwall, had custody of the same lands and tenements during the
minority of the same John de Brerton, son of the same Richard de
Brerton, with the marriage of the same John, by reason of the homage
and services aforesaid ; wishing to be informed about these matters,
ordered the sheriff to cause to come before him and his Council at
York, on Thursday after the Octaves of St. Martin then next (19 Nov., 1304),
twelve, both knights as well as other honest and lawful men of his
county, by whom the truth in the premises might be the better known.

'"Phe jurors (who came on the day appointed) find that John,
-*- late King of England, in his time by the minority of
the said Richard Whit Rychard, and likewise the said
Edmund, the earl, by the minority of the said John de
Brerton, had the wardship of the said lands and tenements
in Brerton, together with the marriage, but whether of right
or not they know not ; and that the lords of the said vill of
Brerton likewise had the wardship of the freeholders [liber e

Her son, William, who was of age at the time of his father's death, was present
at the battle of Lewes (1264), on Simon de Montfort's side. He was killed in 1288
by the fall of a wall at the siege of the castle of Rees Vaghan, at Drusselan, in
Wales (CAromVa WilUlmi Rishanger (Roll Series), p. 117). On 25 June, 1293, she
and her coexecutors of the will of Warin, son of Wiljiam de Monte Caniso, were
ordered to pay to Hugh de Veer, the 500 marks a year payable by them for the custody
of the lands of the said William during the minority of his daughter and heiress ;
and on 12 June in the next year, she was further ordered to deliver the body of
Dionisia, daughter and heiress of William, son of Warin de Monte Caniso, to
Hugh de Veer, to whom the King had granted her marriage on condition that he
married her himself {Calendar of Patent Rolls (1292-1301), pp. 33, 71).

-''• Anketin, son and heir of Anketin Salvayn, deceased,
who held of the King in chief, says he is of full age, and prays
of the King that the lands and tenements, which are of his
inheritance and in the custody of Hamo Gruscy by demise
{ex dimissione) from William Mallorre, to whom they had been
committed by the King, to have in the name of wardship, to
his full age, should be restored to him; on which the King
gave Anketin, who says he was born in York and baptized
in the church of All Saints, Havergate," in that town, a day
to prove his age, that is, the quinzaine of St. Michael
(13 Oct., 1304), wherever he should be; that he (the sheriff)
should cause to come before him so many and such men,
both knights and others, from his county, by whom the
proof could be taken, and the truth of his age better known
and inquired into; and that he should cause Hamo to know
that he must be before the King to show cause if he had
or knew anything why the King should not restore to
the said Anketin, as to one of full age, if he be of full age,
the said lands and tenements. And the sheriff made return
that he had made Hamo know by Nicholas Lovel and Adam

'' Roll for Michaelmas Term, 32 and 33 Edw. I. (1304). At the time his
father's Inq. p. m. was taken, 12 Nov., 1291, Anketin was eight years old
(Vol. ii., p. 132). This agrees with the finding above that he was twenty-one on
3 May, 1304. He was a posthumous, his father having died at Mowthorpe, in the
parish of Terrington, on All Saints' Day (l Nov.), 1282, or according to the evidence
of William de Berewike, in whose arms he died, three days earlier. He was
buried in his parish church at Terrington. The widow, Isabella, removed at Christmas
after her husband's death to York, where she stayed with her brother, Nicholas le
Graunt, until 3 May following, when her son, Anketin, was born. He was baptized
in the church of All Saints', Havergate, by Simon, dean of Christianity of York.
His godfathers were Nicholas, the scullery boy, and Gervase, son of Walter le Gaunter,
or the Glover, of York ; the godmother, Alice la Graunt. The day of the heir's birth,
3 May, 1283, was the date of the dedication of two churches by archbishop William
Wickwane, one being the abbey church of St. Mary's, York, and the other the
church at Gilling in Ryedale.

in York, was at this time in the patronage of the Grant family, one of whom was

Sampson, who came at the warning, and said nothing why
the proof should be delayed. And now Anketin comes, and
also the jurors. And Anketin prays that since Hamo has
been sufficiently warned, as has been shown above, that they
proceed to take proof of his age. And as Hamo has not
said anything why the proof should be delayed, nor is there
any hindrance to safely proceeding to take the proof of age, let
the said proof be taken.

John de Warthille of York, living there, aged 60, sworn
and carefully examined about the age of Anketin, son and
heir of Anketin Salvayn, says that he is of full age, that is,
21 years, and was so on the feast of the Invention of the
Holy Cross last past (3 May, 1304). Asked how he knows
this says that Juliana, his stepmother, died on the feast of
St. Bartholomew in autumn, in the tenth year of the present
King (24 Aug., 1282), and immediately he went to Wales*
with his fellow burgesses of the city of York, with money for
the use of the King, and when he had returned, he found
that Anketin, the heir's father, had died at Multhorpe^ on the
feast of All Saints (i Nov.), and that Isabel," the heir's
mother, was then pregnant, who came to York at Christmas,
and stayed there till the feast of the Invention of the Holy
Cross in the eleventh year (3 May, 1283), when she bore
Anketin. The abbey church of St. Mary's, York, was
dedicated by Sir William Wikewan, then archbishop of York,
on the day of the Purification of the Blessed Mary before
the heir's birth (2 Feb., 1282-3), on which day he saw Isabel,
then pregnant. The heir was born in York in the house
of Nicholas le Graunt, brother of Isabel, the mother, and
baptized in the church of All Saints, Havergate. Simon,
then dean of the town, baptized him. The godfathers were
Nicholas, a scullery boy [garcto de coquind), and the son of a
glover in York,"* who called him Anketin, and Alice la Graunt
was the godmother.

William Burdon, knight,^ of Grymeston, 1 2 leagues distant
from York, aged 60, agrees with the previous witness as to
age, place of birth and baptism, but is ignorant about the

godfathers and godmother, and the chaplain who baptized,
as the two lads [gardones] were strangers to him. He knows
the age, as he has a daughter, Joan, still living, born in
Passion Week (septimana penosd) before the heir's birth, who
was 21 years old in last Passion Week. He says that on
Friday," the feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross (3 May,
1283), his parish church of Gilling was dedicated by the said
archbishop, and on the same day the heir was born.

Roger de Wixstowe of York, aged 40, knows because at
that time he was in the service of Nicholas de Langeton,
who married a sister of the heir's mother ; and at once when
Nicholas and Juliana, his wife, Isabel's sister, heard that the
heir was born, they came there, and this witness came with
them, so he well recollects that he is of full age.

Nicholas de Oklesthorpe of Multhorpe, 9 leagues distant,
aged 60, knows because he had lands in the vills of Multhorpe
and Clifford,'' where Anketin, the heir's father, had lands, and
so he knows well about the father's death, which took place
at the feast of All Saints, when the mother was pregnant,
who afterwards bore a son on Friday, the feast of the
Invention of the Holy Cross. This witness had a daughter,
Isabel, who died on St. Nicholas' day (6 Dec.) before the
heir's birth.

Walter Russelle of Hoton Oppothehil,*^ aged 40, had a
son, William, his first born, who died in the first week of
Lent before the heir's birth.

Walter le Gaunter of York, living there at the time of the
heir's birth, in the said parish of All Saints, where the heir
was born and baptized, aged 60, knows because his son
Gervase was godfather of the heir with the said Nicholas,
and Gervase was five years old on St. James's day after the
heir's birth (25 July, 1283), who is now 26, and was so on
St. James's day last.

William de Berewike, living at Clifford, 10 leagues
distant, aged 50, was in service with Anketin the father, and
made provision for the said Anketin and his household in
his manors and wherever else he was. Anketin, the father,
died in his arms at Multhorpe, three days before the feast
of All Saints, when the mother was pregnant, who bore the
heir on Friday, the feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross.

Cross following; and since the time of that burning 21 years

Robert de Welburne, living there, ten leagues distant from

baptized, and the . chaplain, who baptized him, was called
Simon, then dean of the Christianity of York.

The heir says he is unmarried, but that he has satisfied
Hamo about his marriage, and Hamo, who was present
in court, acknowledged this. Inasmuch as Anketin has

Writ directed to the sheriff, and dated at Stryvelyn, 29 July, 32nd year (1304),
reciting that Adam de Osgoteby, parson of the church of Gairgrave,
which is of the advowson of Henry de Percy, had brought an action in
the Court of Christianity before the official of the archbishop of York,
against the abbot and convent of Furnays, for the tithes coming from
lands and cultures of the said abbot and convent in his parish, which
did not amount to a. fourth part of that church, and which ought to
belong to him, as rector, and to his church ; and that the abbot and
convent, alleging that they were duly authorised [sufficienter munitos) by
apostolic privileges to retain the tithes, were ordered to show their
privileges on a day asked for by themselves ; and that on inspection it
was found that they were not duly authorised to retain the tithes, it was
adjudged by the court that they should pay the tithes to the rector and
his church, to whom they should ever thereafter belong; and that the
abbot, nevertheless, afterwards falsely and maliciously suggesting (suggerens)
that he held the tithes of his own advowson, as though he were patron,
which he is not, obtained a writ of prohibition directed to the official,
ordering him not to proceed further in that case in the Court of
Christianity, to the no small hurt and loss of the rector and the manifest
danger of disinherision of the church, and as the King was unwilling
that any injury should be done to Adam or his church by any such
false suggestion, the sheriff is ordered to inquire as to the annual value
of the church, and how much the tithes thus detained are worth.

Another writ directed to the same and dated at St. John's Town of Perth,
S Aug., 32nd year (1304), ordering him to ascertain who had taken away

Mortham, William son of William of Melsamby, John son of
John of Laton, Roger de Thorp, William Geruc', and Henry-
son of John of Dal ton. It is not, etc., that Master John de
Boughs* can give a messuage, a carucate of land, and lOO
acres of meadow in Over-Stretford*^ to the abbot and convent
of Egleston. The tenement was held at one time of the
abbot of Egleston, but now by an assize of novel disseisin,
taken before Hugh de Cressingham and his fellows, the
King's justices itinerant in Yorkshire, it is held of Robert
de Cleseby, by paying him id. at the feast of St. Peter ad
vincula{\ Aug.) for the ward of the castle of Richemund for
all services. Robert holds of Thomas de Richemund, knight,
by that service, Thomas of the earl of Richemund by that
service, and the earl holds that tenement of the King
amongst his lands of Richemundschire. There is sufficient
remaining to Master Thomas to bear all charges. The
tenement, after deducting all services, is worth zos. a year.
It is not to be wondered that so large a holding is valued
at so small an amount, inasmuch as the land in that carucate
is such that twenty acres are not worth 2od. a year, because
they adjoin the moor of Staynmore, and are utterly barren."
The abbot and convent have their common in the pasture
all the year, so that in that pasture there accrues to them

the same Hugh, entered in the same manor without doing
homage or fealty to the King, and without any warrant from
the escheator, whereupon I took the same manor into the
King's hand.

■P\0RSET AND YoRK. Whereas Herbert St. Quintin [de
'-^ Sando Quintino), next of kin and heir of Herbert St.
Quintin, deceased, who held in chief, demanded the lands and
tenements of his inheritance, which were, by a commission
from the King, in the custody of Richard Oysel to the full
age of the heir, and alleged that he was born at Frome
St. Quintin (Sancti Quintini), in the county of Dorset, and
baptized in the church of that town ; and whereas the King
had granted him a day in Easter Term to prove his age, the
sheriff of Dorsetshire is commanded to summon a jury to
try the question ; and the sheriff of Yorkshire was commanded
to summon the said Richard Oysel to show cause, if any, why
the said lands and tenements should not be restored to the
heir, if of full age. Neither Richard nor the jurors come.
The sheriff of Yorkshire made return that he had ordered
the bailiffs of Holdernesse to serve the summons, but they
had done nothing. Ultimately a jury came in Trinity Term,
but Oysel did not come, although the summons was served
on him by Richard de Amcotes and Adam de Bynington.

Herbert St. Quintin and a daughter of John Maltravers. He was baptized in the
parish church at Frome St. Quintin by Elyas de Wely, the vicar, at the time of taking

YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS. 121

John Chauntemerle, aged 41, living at Chauntemerle, half
a league distant from Frome St. Quyntin, sworn and carefully
examined about the heir's age, says he is of full age, that
is, 2 1 years, and was so on the day of St. Blaise the Bishop
{3 Feb., 1305-6}, that is, on the morrow of the Purification
last past. He knows it is so, because he has a daughter,
Anathasia, still living, who was born eight days before the
feast of the Purification in the year following the heir's
birth, which was well known in the country {sah's solempnem
in patrid). The godfathers were John de la More and Roger,
a monk fropi the abbey of Cerne, and Alice St. Quintin, the
heir's aunt (amifa), was his godmother. Elyas de Wely, then
vicar of the church of the said town of Frome, and now
parson of the church of Staunton in the county of Wilts.,
baptized him.

William de Bares, aged 46, living at Frome Fouchurche,
two leagues distant from Frome St. Quyntin, knows these
facts because John de Chesilbourne, his antecessor, whose heir
he is, died in the quinzaine of the Purification after the
heir's birth, by whose death two carucates of land in
Chesilbourne and Bere descended to him. Herbert, the
heir's father, was present at Chesilbourne' s funeral, and told
the witness he had a son born at that time.

Richard de Crokeston, aged 48, living at Crokeston, two
leagues distant, says John de Crokeston, his father, died
three weeks after the heir's birth, and on the day of his
funeral the heir's mother was purified in Frome Church.
The witness was invited to go to the feast at the purification,
but could not in consequence of his father's funeral.

William de Boneville, aged 47, living at Frome Fouchurche,
two leagues distant, bought a carucate of land in Frome
Fouchurche, and was put in seisin of it on the feast of St.
Nicholas (6 Dec.) before the heir's birth. The father and
mother of the heir were present at the seisin, she being
then pregnant with the said heir.

Adam de Hertle, aged 58, living at Haselbere, eight
leagues distant, had an elder brother, James, who set off for
the Holy Land at Easter before the heir's birth, and died
at Lausanne {Losan) on All Saints' day following ( i Nov.) on
his way back.

Ralph le Britt, aged 58, living at Stock' in Haselbergh',
eight leagues distant, had a daughter, Cecily, still living,
bom at the feast of St. Peter in Cathedra (22 Feb.) after the
heir's birth.

Roger le Plumber {sic), aged 43, living at Plumber, nine
leagues distant, says his mother, Alice, died on the eight

122 YORKSHIRE INQUlSltlONS.

day before the heir's birth, and that he heard of the birth
at her funeral.

John de la Tour, aged 42, living at Berewik, three leagues
distant, had a younger brother, William, born four days
before the heir's birth. He was present at the purification
of the heir's mother.

Roger de Wynterbourne, aged 50, living at Long
Chesebourne, nine leagues distant, married his wife, Joan,
who is still alive, three days before the feast of St. Hilary
(13 Jan.) next after the heir's birth, since when twenty years
have elapsed.

Henry Shirhard', aged 40, living at Meyneshirhard',
twelve leagues distant, says his father, Henry, whose heir
he is, died at Christmas before the heir's birth, and that he
came to the next county court [comitatii), and did homage in
full county court to one Geoffrey de Wermewelle, his lord,
and that then he heard of the heir's birth.

William de Fifide, aged 50, living at Fifide, ten leagues
distant, bought from John Maltravers, the father of the
heir's mother, twelve acres of land by a deed, dated on the
feast of St. Hilary, twenty-two years ago (13 Jan., 1283-4),
and at the same time the heir's mother and father were
married. The heir was born on St. Blaise's day the year
following, this witness then being in the same town.

Nicholas de Antioche, aged 40, living at Tarente Antioche,
sixteen leagues distant, came three days before Michaelmas,
before the heir's birth, to the house of John Maltravers, the
father of the heir's mother, to get his land {pro terra sua
habenda) from William de Gouyz, his lord, who was there
present, and was talking about the heir's birth. Deeds
were then made, both about getting his lands and about the
goods and chattels found on them, which deeds bear certain
dates, so that he knows the heir's age.

The heir, being questioned, states he was married by the
said Herbert, his grandfather, three years before his death.
As he has proved his age he is to have seisin of the
lands and tenements belonging to his inheritance.

recorded a case where William de Oly complained against Sabina, daughter of
Richard Revel, that she had distrained him to do suit at her court every three
weeks, and she said that he ought to do suit when the King's writ was pleaded,
or a thief to be judged. In the Wakefield Manor Court, held on 25 July, 1340,
the- King's writ to John, earl of Warrenne, is set out, directing that justice shall be

of Merflet, Simon de Sprottele, Hugh de Beautre, Thomas
de Rosse of Halsam, Robert Ingram, Simon Spink', Robert
Julian, Nicholas de Thorne, Robert Cust, William Wysman,
and Michael le Aurnener. There is no bailiwick of the warren
[garenne) of Ravenser in the King's hand, because there is
no warren there. The King, however, has two coneygarths
[coningeras), that is, the west coneygarth, and the east
coneygarth in Esington and Kilnese, by Aide Ravenser on
Humber, with warren in the same, and of these bailiwicks
the custody is in the King's hand. The King can grant the
same bailiwick without doing any harm. There is nothing
certain belonging to the said bailiwick, but the King gives
to the warrener, keeping the great western coneygarth,
z6s. 8d. a year, that is, 6d. a week, and 6s. 8d. yearly for his
robe ; and to a lad {garcioni), keeping the small eastern
coneygarth, 1 35. a year, that is, ^d. a week ; so the value of
the bailiwick is in all issues 45^., as long as the King is
willing to give such a fee for the said custody.

was wont to be, and now is, from a time of which there is no
memory, and that he and his ancestors were seised of the
said ferry for 26 years before the ferry was granted by the
King to the burgesses of Kingeston on Hulle. The lands
and tenements where the ferry was wont to be, and now is,
on the Holdernesse side, belong to the said Sir John de
Sutton, and the ferry on the Kingeston on Hulle side was
wont to be on the land of Gilbert de Aton, and now is on the

King to the said burgesses is not in the place where it was
wont to be, but is sixty feet distant. It is to the loss of

" Torn away at the left hand side at the bottom.

^ Notwithstanding the ijnding of this inquest the Sutton family did not recover
possession of this ferry. In a petition (Aitcient Petitions, No. 3617) to Edward III.,
by John de Sutton of Holdernesse, son of the John de Sutton of the inquest, he
complains that the King's grandfather had not only seized the feny [passage) over
the water of Hulle at Dripole, for which he and his ancestors had been wont to
take 40J-. a year, but also 6 acres and 3J roods of meadow, and 4 acres of pasture,
belonging to his manor of Sotecotes, worth 18^. ']\d. a year, which Edward I. had
given to the burgesses of Kyngeston upon Hulle for a common ferry, and to make
a common road {chymyri) out of the land from the water of Hulle through the vill
of Dripole to Bilton Bridge. For these things he had received no recompense.
In another petition [Ibid., No. 3620) the same Sir John prays Edward III. for relief
in the following matters, which had been brought before Sir John Darci, and the
other justices of oyer and terminer in Holdernesse. (l) He was accused of raising
a castle (chastelle) at Braunceholme, and a small fort [fortelet') against [sur) the port
of Hulle, whereby he blocked the entry to that port. In reply he affirmed that he
had only built a tiled house [meisoun de iuile), 60 feet long and 24 feet broad, with
windows (fenestre), and not a castle. The justices would not allow an inquest to be
taken on the subject without leave from the King's Council. The small fort he
had built because he had heard the King's enemies were coming to waste the
country. It was o, room [chaumbre) on his own several soil, the walls of plaster and
the passage above of wood (parrots de piastre, alure de borde), 24 feet long and
15 broad. (2) He was also charged with appropriating a plot of land in the castle
of Skypse which belonged to the King. To this he replied that he and his
ancestors had always held it as their freehold, both when the castle was in the King's
hands, as well as when it was in those of the earls of Albemarle, and so he prayed
the King to give him possession. He further prayed the King to do him justice
about the ferry and the land, mentioned in the other petition. The King, by
endorsement on the petition, ordered the justices to take an inquest, and that if it were
found that the building was not a castle, but a house of brick, they were not to
interfere with him, and the same with regard to the alleged small fort. As the
justices had under their commission no power to hold pleas about freeholds, a
.special writ was to be issued to enable them to try the question of the ferry. The
matter of the lands, alleged to have been unjustly seized by Edward I., was to be
tried by a jury. There is a further petition (Ibid., No. 12267) by John de Sutton of
Holdernesce, presumably the same person, asking for leave to pass over the sea on
a pilgrimage with eight horses for himself and his men to St. James of Compostella
(Seint J^aK), which he had vowed when in peril of death [quele il auouwa en peril
de mart).

cxxxvi. Margaret,^' daughter and heiress of Thomas

DE MULTON OF GiLSLAND, AND "WIFE OF RANULPH

Dacre. Proof of age.

[Curia Regis. No. 224, m. 72.]''
V^ORK. The sheriff was ordered that as Ranulph de
■^ Acre [sic), who, as he asserts, has. married Margaret,
daughter and heiress of Thomas de Multon of G-illeslond,
deceased, who held of the King in chief, says that the said
Margaret is of full age, and has prayed that the lands and
tenements, which are of the inheritance of the said Margaret,
and in the King's custody till the full age of the same
heiress, be restored to him; wherefore the King granted a
day 'to the same Ranulph and Margaret to prove her age
before him, who was born in the castle of Mulgrave in his
county, and baptized in the church of the vill of Lythe, as it
is stated, that is, from Easter Day for three weeks, wherever,
etc.; that he cause to come before the King on the said day
so many and such honest and lawful men of his bailiwick,
both knights and others, by whom that proof and the truth
of her said age may be the better known and inquired into ;
and that he should inform the King's clerk, Robert de

" Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas de Multon of Gilsland, was born at
Mulgrave Castle, near Whitby, on St. Margaret's day {20 July), 1300. Her mother
was probably a daughter of the Peter de Mauley III., who was over thirty in 1279
( Yorkshire Inquisitions, I., 194). A paternal aunt of her mother, Isabel de Mauley,
married Robert de Colville of Arncliffe. The heiress was baptized in the parish
church of Lythe on the Sunday following (24 July) by the parish priest. Sir VyiUiam
of Whitby. The godparents were Sir Geoffrey Maucovenant, knight, of Easington-
in-Cleveland ; Margaret, wife of Sir Richard de Thwenge, knight, of Newton-under-
Roseberry ; and Joan de Mortayn. It appears that after her father's death, in 1313,
Margaret was placed for safe custody in Warwick Castle, whence she eloped with
Ranulph Dacre. It is satisfactory to find that ultimately the King pardoned Dacre
for running off with this rich ward.

Clyderhou, escheator beyond Trent, so that he should be
there to show cause, if he had or knew of any, on the King's
behalf, why the King ought not to restore the said lands
and tenements to the aforesaid Ranulph and Margaret, as to
one who is of full age, if she be so.

A similar writ* to John Walewayn, escheator this side
Trent, which concludes thus : — ^that whereas the King had
been informed that the same Margaret, whilst living in
Warwick Castle, under age and in his custody, had been
taken and abducted {rapta fuit et abducta) in contempt of the
King and to his manifest hurt, the said escheator should be
before the King in his proper person on the said day, to
inform him about the said taking away and abduction. The
said escheator sent word at that Term that he had, by the
King's orders, gone to Wales in the royal army, so that he
could by no means be present on the said day to inform the
King ; but he made a return that, by the royal command, he
had placed the said Margaret in the said castle for safe
custody, and that, whilst he was absent, and quite without
his knowledge, she was taken away and abducted ; where-
upon, in pursuance of his ofBLce, he took an inquisition, by
which he found that the said Ranulph de Dacre and Richard
de Knolle, together with others unknown, took away and
abducted the said Margaret from the castle by night.

And now the said Ranulph and Margaret come and
likewise the jurors, and Robert de Clederhou {^sic), the escheator
beyond Trent, though often and solemnly called, does not
come. And the sheriff made return that he had informed
him by William Rotour and William Boye, etc. And the
said Ranulph and Margaret pray that, since the said Robert
de Cliderhou, the escheator, is sufficiently warned and does
not come, that they proceed to ascertain the said Margaret's
age. And on this John de Cestria, who follows for the King,
prays on the King's behalf that the said Ranulph answer to
the King for the said taking away and abduction of the said
Margaret, before proceeding to prove her age. And the said
Ranulph says that he did not take away {rapuit) the said
Margaret, as more plainly appears in Roll 62 of this Term,
where he was arraigned about the said taking away and
abduction, and placed himself on a jury of his country ; and

^ This writ (fo. 62d) is dated at Lincoln, Feb. 20, 9th year (1315-16). The
escheator, in his reply, after citing letters patent of the King, dated at Clipston,
4 Feb. in the same year, and directed to him and John de Langeleye, ordering them
to inquire about the abduction of Margaret, daughter and heiress of Thomas de
Multon of Giselaunde (sic)., states that he had gone to Wales in the King's army
against his enemies and rebels of those parts, and so could do nothing. Richard de
iSioUe escaped from the custody of the marshall by breaking prison.

152 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.

because the said Robert de Clyderhou, the escheator, has
been sufficiently warned and does not come, as appears alDove
and the said Ranulph has placed himself on a jury of his
country about the said taking away and abduction that he is
not guilty, and as there is no other hindrance to proceeding
with safety to take the proof of the said Margaret's age,
therefore let the said proof be taken.

But as regards the livery of seisin to the said Ranulph
and Margaret of the lands and tenements falling to her from
her inheritance, let it be entirely delayed until the said
Ranulph shall have been lawfully acquitted or convicted of
the said taking away and abduction, and shall have satisfied
the King about the marriage, as the Court shall think fit

Gilbert de Roseles, aged 55, living [manens] at Neuton,*
distant 14 leagues from Mulgreve where the heiress was born,
sworn and carefully examined about her age, says the said
Margaret was born at Mulgreve, which is the castle of Sir
Peter Mauley {de Malo lacu), and says that she is of full age,
and was of the age of 15 years on the feast of Saint Margaret
the Virgin last past (20 July, 1 3 1 5). Asked how he knows this,
says a certain Isabel, his mother, died 15 days after the
heiress's birth, from which time 15 years have elapsed. He
says also that the said Margaret was baptized in the parish
church of Lythe, which is one league distant from Mulgreve,
on the Sunday next after the feast of St. Margaret (24 July,
1300), and the chaplain who baptized her was called Sir
William de Whiteby, the parish chaplain. A certain Geoffrey
Maucovenaunt, knight, was her godfather, and Margaret de
Thweng, wife of Richard de Thwenge, knight, and Joan de
Mortayn were her godmothers. At the time of the birth of
the said heiress he was living with his father, William de
Roseles, at Aselby,** two leagues distant from Mulgreve.
And from this he well recollects about the birth of the
heiress. Of the other circumstances he has been informed
by the talk of the country (per relatum patrie).

Ralph del Estre, aged 40 and upwards, living at Jarum,
14 leagues distant from Mulgreve, agrees with the previous
witness, and says he knows because at the time of her birth
he was seneschal to a certain Robert de Coleville, who
married Isabel, aunt {amitam) of the said Margaret's mother,''
who was staying in the said castlej for which cause this
witness was at that time often going to the said castle.

William de Malteby, aged 40, living at Bathelby,* 6
leagues distant from Mulgreve, says his sister Alice assumed
the habit of a nun in the house of Basedale on the Sunday
on which the heiress was baptized.

Robert de Marton, aged 40, living there,'' 1 1 leagues
distant from Mulgreve, says that at the time of her birth he
was in service with Richard de Twenge, the husband of
Margaret, the heiress's godmother, and that by his lord's
command he went with the said Margaret to the said church
of Lithe, where the heiress was baptized, on the Sunday
after her birth for her baptism. He says also that at
Martinmas after the birth of the heiress he took a bovate
of land for a term of 15 years, which term expired at last
Martinmas.

William le Huntere, aged 50, living at Daneby, 8 leagues
distant from Mulgreve, says he had a son Lawrence born at
the feast of St. Laurence (id August) after the heiress's birth,
who will be 16 at the feast of St. Lawrence next.

John Wyrfauk', aged 50, living at Hilderwelle,° 2 leagues
distant from Mulgreve, says that on the day of her birth
one Robert de Leysingby married his daughter Juliana at
Leysingby,"* 8 leagues distant from Mulgreve.

(Fo. 72^.) John, son of Walter of Ilderwelle, aged 50,
living there,'^ 2 leagues distant from Mulgreve, says he had
a wife, Maude by name, who bore, on the feast of the
Apostles Peter and Paul (29 June) 15 years ago, a son John,
who is still alive, and that she died on the same day of the
birth. He had one Cecily to nurse this John till St. Margaret's
Day, when the heiress was born, when men came from the
castle of Mulgreve and took away the said Cecily to nurse
the said Margaret.

Hugh de Lelum, aged 40, living there,^ three leagues
distant from Mulgreve, married Agnes, daughter of Peter de
Herdwick, of the bishopric of Durham, on the feast of the
Assumption of the Blessed Mary (15 Aug.) after the said
Margaret's birth.

John le Brunte, aged 40, living at Skelton, 6 leagues
distant from Mulgreve, had a daughter Alice, who died on
I August [ad gulam Augusti) after the heiress's birth.

Robert de Merske, aged 40, living at Skelton, 6 leagues

John de Eston, aged 40 and upwards, now living at
Normanby, two leagues distant from the said castle, married
one Isolda in the octave of St. Martin (18 Oct.) before the
birth of the heiress. He was in service with Sir Geoffrey
Maucovenaunt, the godfather of the heiress, and was with his
lord at the feast when her mother was purified at Lithe. At
that time he was living at Esyngton, 5 leagues distant from
the said castle.

As regards Thomas of the Hall of Jarum, the twelfth
juror, the justices did not proceed to examine him about
the said Margaret's age, as he acknowledged before them
that at the time of her birth he was under age.

And inasmuch as the said Geoffrey Maucovenaunt, the
godfather of the said heiress, as appears above, was present
in court at the time of the proof, the justices, in pursuance
of their office, caused the same Geoffrey to be sworn before
them, and carefully examined him about the said age. He
said that the said Margaret is of full age, and was of the
age of 15 years on the feast of St. Margaret last past.
Being asked how he knows this, says that he was in the
parish church of Lithe on the Sunday after the said feast of
St. Margaret, and became godfather of the same Margaret,
and for this reason he well knows and recollects. Concerning
the other circumstances he agrees with the preceding
witnesses.

And since the aforesaid Ranulph has elsewhere made a
plea with the King about the taking away of the same
Margaret, and has placed himself on a jury of his country,
as appears above, let the judgment in the proof of age be
adjourned until, etc. Afterwards as the King by his letters
patent of his special grace pardoned," as far as in him lies,
the said Ranulph for the trespass of the taking away of the
said Margaret, as more fully appears by the said letters of
the lord King, enrolled on the principal plea, etc.; and by
his writ, which remains amongst the receipts of the i ith year,
commanded H. le Scrope that he should in no way molest
or trouble the same Ranulph contrary to the tenor of the
aforesaid letters, therefore let them proceed to judgment. And
as the said Margaret has sufficiently proved her age before
the lord King that she is of full age, that is, fourteen years
and upwards, therefore let the same Ranulph and Margaret
have seisin of the lands and tenements falling to the said
Margaret from her inheritance, and let this record be sent
to the Chancellor.
