family is shrouded in mystery. The monks of St. Mary of York
deduced Gilbert do Lancaster from Ivo Taillebois, viz., son of
Ketell, son of Eldred, son of "Ivo (Monasticon, III, p. 553).
While it is quite certain that Ivo died without male issue, it is
not impossible that Gilbert may have been the son of Ketell, son
of Eldred, and brother to Orm, son of the said Ketell, who
inherited his father's estates of Workington, Pre? ton Patrick, etc.,
and was father of Gospatrick, to whom William de Lancaster, son
of the taid Gilbert, before the year 1170, gave (he vill of Lamplugh
in exchange for Middleton in Lonsdale. During the period of
Archbishop Turstin's tenure of the sec of York, and therefore
before 1139, William, son of Gilbert de Lancaster, gave land in a
place called Suartheued, in Hensingham or Preston, near White-
haven, to St. Mary and St. Beda and the monks of York; Roger,
son of Gilbert, and probably brother of the said William,
subsequently giving two oxgangs of land in Hensingham
(Monasticon, IT, p. 577). Ketel, son of Eldred, held Workington,
Kelton and Salter or Saltergh in Copeland of Ranulf Meschino ;
Morland, Preston Patrick, and lands in Newby, Kirkby Kendal
and elsewhere in Westmorland, of the fee of Ivo Taillebois.
Gospatric, son of Orm, son of the said Ketell, held his lands both
in Copeland and Westmorland of the Lancasters, barons of Kendal,
as appears by the charter of William [son of Gilbert] de Lancaster
quoted above (Transactions, Cumberland and Westmorland, Arch.
Society, V, p. 312), and .by Gilbert, son of Roger fitz Reinf rod's
confirmation to the Abbey of St. Mary of York (Monasticon, III,
p. 566). In addition to the estates enumerated, William, son of
Gilbert de Lancaster, held the following estates in Copeland :
Mulccaster (now Muncaster), Lamplugh and Hensingham or
Preston (cf. Monasticon, III, p. 577). While there is nothing in
these particulars inconsistent with an infeudation made by
Ranulf Meschines of various estates in Copeland and Westmorland,
to Gilbert de Lancaster, in a portion of which Ketell, son of
Eldred, may already or subsequently have been enfeoffed, as an
undertenant of Gilbeit's, there is no evidence to be found
that relationship existed between Gilbert and Ketell. We are
therefore reduced either to disbelieving the relationship altogether,
or to placing credit upon the statement made by the monks of
St. Mary of York, notwithstanding the fact that part of that
statement, viz., that Eldred was the son of Ivo Taillebois, is
disproTed by after events.

INTRODUCTION.
Second only in importance to the Great Survey of William the
Conqueror are the Great Rolls of the Exchequer, vulgarly known
as the Pipe Rolls or Great Rolls of the Pipe, the contents of
which, so far as they relate to the County of Lancaster, have been
reproduced and annotated in the following pages. The character
of these noble records is briefly described in the opening pages of
this volume ; but a perusal of the whole series of extracts which
follow will give the reader a better insight into the purposes and
objects for which these rolls were drawn up, than any introductory
remarks can convey. Up to the first year of King John, when
the wonderful scries of our Public Records — which have con-
tinued in almost unbroken continuity to this day — begius, early
manorial and family history is almost entirely derived from the
Pipe Rolls, ancient charters and monastic chartularies. This
knowledge, coupled with the fact that the early history of the
county subsequent to the Conquest had received but little
attention — that little being of a somewhat superficial and
uncritical character — induced the writer to undertake the task
which has resulted in these pages, and to supplement an extended
version of the entries in the Pipe Rolls and the annotation of
those entries, by bringing together in the same volume transcripts
of all the original charters or ancient transcripts of charters
which could be found in the Public Records, in the MSS.
collections of Roger Dodsworth, Christopher Towneley, Dr.
Kuerden, the Randle Holmes, and in one or two private muniment-
rooms to which the writer had access. While fully conscious that
to do justice to the task requires the knowledge, insight and
conversance with ancient records possessed by such illustrious
workers as Horace Round, Professor Maitland or the late Robert
Eyton, the writer felt constrained to attempt a labour for which
he possessed but slight capabilities, on the ground that no other
worker was in the field or seemed likely to take the field. The
editor is therefore emboldened to ask for the indulgence of the
X INTRODUCTION.
more critical readers of this volume, who may find in it defects
of transcription, extension and translation, or statements and
deductions inconsistent with ascertained facts, in the hope that in
it may be found some original matters of interest and some new
light upon the history of the Honor and County of Lancaster.
Briefly stated, the history of the county down to the reign of
Henry the Third is as follows. In Saxon times the land between
the rivers Mersey and Duddon formed part of the kingdom of
Northuinbria. But in 923, King Edward took possession of the
southern portion, lying between the Ribble and the Mersey, and
incorporated it in the kingdom of Mercia. Sometime during the
period which intervened before the Norman invasion, the northern
portion, which still formed part of the kingdom of Northumbria,
lying between the Ribble, which parted it on the south from
Mercia, and the Duddon, which parted it on the north from
Cumberland, was assessed to Danegeld at 500 ploughlands or
carucates. Within this area was also included that part of
Westmorland which afterwards formed the Barony of Kendal.
After the abolition of the royal dignity in Northumberland in the
year 952, that kingdom continued under the government of the
Earls of that province. Thus we find that Earl Tostig or his
thanes were lords of this territory before the Conquest. The
Mercian portion was apparently assessed to the same levy, in
conjunction with Cheshire, at 1 ,000 ploughlands or carucates, of
which 520 lay in Cheshire proper, and 480 between the Ribble
and the Mersey, which latter for a long period before the Conquest
formed part of the demesne of the Kings of England. Probably
owing to this fact, the ancient assessment in carucates had been
converted at some period into Mercian hides, in the proportion of
six carucates to one hide ; so that this territory was assessed
before the Conquest at 80 hides, as against 520 in Cheshire.
Upon the subjugation of the north by the Conqueror, all
Lancashire from the Mersey to the Duddon was bestowed upon
Roger, son of Roger de Montgomery, commonly called "the
Poitevin" who also received Bowland and a large estate in
Craven, in the county of York. Count Roger was probably put in
possession in the year 1068. Within a few years he was
dispossessed, on account of his participation in the rebellious acts
of Duke Robert of Normandy during the period 1077-8.
Subsequently William Rufus restored to him his estates in
Lancashire, or the greater portion of them, for it is not an

ascertained fact that Furness and Cartmel were in the Count's
possession between 1089 and 1102.1 In the latter year he again
adhered to Duke Kobert in the latter's insurrection against
King Henry's authority in Normandy, with the result that he and
his father's house were finally banished from the kingdom and his
estates confiscated. It was during the twelve years which
followed the Count's final expulsion that Henry I.2 incorporated the
Honor of Lancaster by the inclusion with the late Count's estates
of the lands of other banished barons,8 and the addition of some
royal estates. In 1114-6, the newly incorporated Honor with
a quota of service to the military host of some sixty odd
knights, was bestowed by King Henry upon his nephew Stephen,
who had already succeeded to the Comtecs of Boulogne and
Mortain.4 Count Stephen thus holding the Honor by his uncle's
gift, continued in possession after his accession to the Crown in
1135, until the troublous period of 1138-1141.5 In the former
year he gave all Lancashire north of the Kibble to David, King
of Scots,0 as part of the price of peace, after the latter's victorious
campaign undertaken in pursuit of his alleged title to Cumberland
and Northumberland (see pages 274 and 297). In the latter
year, as a result of his defeat and capture at the battle of Lincoln,
he gave the whole Honor of Lancaster — with the exception of
the Montbegon fee — and Lancashire between the Kibble and the
Mersey to Kanulf, Earl of Chester,7 under circumstances which
are fully detailed in the following pages (see page 368 ct scq.).
The Earl of Chester also obtained possession of Lancashire north
of the Kibble from the King of Scots, at Whitsuntide, 1149, and
by the Treaty of Devizes he further obtained from Duke Henry,
as the price of his assistance in the Duke's endeavour to wrest
the Crown of England from King Stephen, a grant or confirmation
of the Honor. Events now followed each other in rapid suc-
cession. A few weeks after the conclusion of the Treaty of Devizes

Xll INTRODUCTION.
the Earl was poisoued, as it is supposed, by William Peverel
of Nottingham. On November 6th at Wallingford a treaty was
made between the King and Duke Henry, whereby it was agreed
between them that Stephen should retain his crown for the rest
of his life, Henry acting as justiciar and practical ruler under
him as acknowledged successor to the King and heir to
the Crown. Further, that the King's surviving son, William,
Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl of Warren, should
succeed to all the estates which his father had held before he
attained to the Crown, among which was naturally included the
Honor of Lancaster. Accordingly upon the King's death on
October 25th, 1154, the Earl of Warren1 succeeded to the Honor,
which he held until his death, which occurred during the retreat
from Toulouse, about the end of September, 1159 (see p. 5).
During the interval between the Earl's death and Michaelmas,
1164, when the Honor became once more a Crown estate, it
appears probable that the issue3 were received by the Countess
Isabel, the late Earl's widow, until her marriage in that year to
the King's brother Hameline, Earl of Warren, when Henry II.2
restored to her certain of the late Earl's estates which had been
seized after his death, taking the Honor into his own hands
(see p. 6). Upon the death of King Henry on July 6th, 1189,
Eichard I. gave the Honor to his younger brother John, Count of
Mortain,8 who appears to have taken the issues arising during the
last three months of the fiscal year which ended at Michaelmas, 1189.
The four years and a half during which Count John held the
Honor were years of great development, as is shown by the
charters recorded in the Charter Kolls of the 1 John, confirming
various grants made by the King during the period of his
tenure of the Honor. Many of these charters have been pre-
served and receive notice in this volume. The cause of this
development, of the granting out of demesne lands, bestowal of
liberties and franchises and relaxation of the restraining influence
exercised by the severity of the forest laws against the development

and cultivation of waste lands, by the acceptance of large sums of
money for respite of the Reguard of the forest, was apparently
due to John's ambitious policy and the preparations which he was
making to seize the Crown during the King's prolonged absence
in the East. This policy, as is well known, culminated in the
rebellion of February, 1194, and Count John's defeat. Richard I.1
immediately took the Honor into his own hands, and thenceforth
it continued as a Crown estate during the reigns of King John2
and Henry III., until the latter sovereign on June 30th, 1267,
bestowed it upon his younger son Edmund Plantagenet, styled
Crouchback, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of
Lancaster from December 12th, 1276.
The Domesday Survey contains some information as to the
status of the inhabitants of Lancashire before 1066. In the land
between the Ribble and the Mersey there were no large estates or
fiefs, and few even of moderate size, if we except the estates of
Ughtred the thane, iu the Hundred of West Derby, and of
Ganiel, the thane of Rochdale. The demesne of the Honor was
fairly extensive, consisting in 1086 of 13 manors assessed at 107
ploughlands and worth 23/t. 10s. per annum. In 1066 there were,
besides the demesne, 175 manors probably held by as many thanes
or drenghs, assessed at 474 ploughlands, and worth, in addition to
the demesne just enumerated, 145/z. 8s. lOd. The enumeration in
the Survey of the customs of this country proves that these thaues
were in status but little superior to the villeins. In Amounder-
ness it is probable that the conditions were much the same as in
the part of the county south of the Ribble. The tenants of the
61 manors in this hundred were dependents of the chief manor of
Preston, and no doubt the customs whicli they owed were just as
servile as those described in the Survey of the land between the
Ribble and the Mersey. In addition to the demesne manor of
Preston assessed at six ploughlands, were these 61 dependent
manors assessed at 164 ploughlands. No particidars are recorded
as to their value, but after the conquest of the North in 1068,
this country was so terribly wasted that 18 years later but
16 manors were inhabited by a few people, and the rest were
waste. In Lonsdale there were 17 manors, some portions of
which lay in Yorkshire, containing 63 Lancashire vills assessed at

162£ ploughland8. In Furness and Cartniel there were five large
manors, three of which were assessed at six ploughlands each, the
fourth with a berewick at seven ploughlands, the fifth, having its
chief manor house at Hougun (now Milium Castle in Cumberland)
with 26 dependent vills, 22 of which were in Furness and Cartmel,
was assessed at 75 ploughlands, making in all 100 ploughlands.
Again, as in Amounderness, no particulars as to annual value or
customs are recorded. The whole county thus contained about
350 manors or vills, assessed at a little over 900 ploughlands, and
inhabited before the Conquest by a population that may be
estimated at about 23,750 souls. The ravages of war probably
swept away more than half the popidation living north of the
Kibble, so that it is doubtful if the population was as great in 1102
as it was in 1066.
The general impression as to the state of the county during
the century succeeding the Conquest, left upon one's mind by the
study of such historical materials as exist, is that very few
Normans settled in the county until a long period of years after
1066. Count Roger himself is said to have been little pleased
with his rugged northern fief and its impoverished inhabitants.
In 1086 there were between Kibble and Mersey only some 20
knights, holding* 125£ ploughlands, and of these it is doubtful if
many were resident in the county. With the exception of Furness
Abbey in the extreme north, founded in 1127, and two or three
unimportant friaries and hospitals for lepers, no other monastic
houses were founded in the county, for the dissemination of learn-
iug or instruction in arts and crafts, until more than a century
after the Conquest. A great part of the landowning population,
the thanes and drenghs, and the various Serjeants of the Castles
and Wapentakes would appear from their names to have been of
Anglo-Saxon blood, or descendants of the Norsemen and Danes
who had overspread the country in the tenth and early part of the
eleventh centuries. The parsons of the thirty or more churches
which existed here at the Conquest probably differed little from
their neighbours except in name. In consequence of these con-
ditions, of the sparseness of inhabitants, and of the relics of servile
tenure lingering even amidst the landowning thanes and drenghs,
there was little subdivision of property and few infeudations
requiring to be recorded in the usually minute charter on parch-
ment. Thus the historian may search in vain amidst the
treasures of the most extensive muniment room for even a stray

charter inscribed before the commencement of the reign of Henry
II., and he will find but few that can be ascribed even to that
period of improvement and progress. Therefore, to the Lancashire
historian, every record relating to the county, which belongs to
the period 1066 to 1164, must be considered as of the utmost value
and interest.
Particular attention may be called to some of the details
recorded in the Pipe Polls. On the first page we find reference
to an important agreement made before 1130, between Count
Stephen and seven thanes of the land between the Kibble and
the Mersey. It ma^r be reasonably surmised that the total sum
of 220 marks paid to the King by these seven men represented
some important liberty or franchise obtained from the chief lord
by agreement, and sanctioned by the judgment of the King's
Court. On page 8 will be found a list of the knights' fees within
the couuty in the year 1166. On page 12 is recorded the tallage
which the King took from his demesne lands in the year 1169,
towards the endowment of his daughter Matilda, upon her
marriage with Henry, the Lion Duke of Saxony. A subsequent
tallage of the vills and men belonging to the royal demesne was
made in 1177, aud is set forth on page 35. Tallages were again
assessed in the 4 John (page 151) and in the 6 John (pages
176-8). The first appears to have been assessed not only upon
the vills and men of the existing demesne, but also upon lands
of ancient demesne which had long been granted out to free
tenants or to the King's Serjeants. The latter tallage was assessed
upon the thanes, free tenants and Serjeants of the county ne
trarutfretent, i.e., in lieu of military service with the King in
foreign parts, which he was illegally exacting from them.
A complete feodary of the Honor about the year 1200, is set
forth on pages 144-5. The Poll of 8 Richard I. (page 92) gives
an interesting account of the purchase of stock and implements
for the royal demesnes which had been depleted during Count
John's rebellion in the early spring of 1194. It is recorded
that during the year 1196, 15 ploughs and harrows and 15
ox-teams each of eight oxen were purchased for the cultivation
of the demesne lauds. Also 455 head of stock, including bulls,
cows, mares and ewes for the re-stocking of the vaccariea within
the forest of Lancaster.
During the reign of King John great additions were made to
the King's lodgings in Lancaster Castle, about 550K, being
XVI INTRODUCTION.
expended on this work between 1210-1215, in addition to 100/i.
previously laid out in other repairs to the gaol at Lancaster and
to the Castle of West Derby. In 1210 large quantities of stores
were purchased for the use of the army in Ireland, and in 1211
for the array in Wales. In 1215 nearly 200/i. was devoted to the
munitioning of the Castles of West Derby and Lancaster, and over
1501L for their defence in the wages of foot soldiers and cross-
bowmen.
Warine de Lancaster, who was Falconer to Henry II., had
received from that sovereign a gift of lands, including Liverpool,
Up-Litherland, and Ravensmeols, in return for his services, which
were hereditary. In 1207, or perhaps some years earlier, King
John, having some prevision as to the advantages possessed by
Liverpool as a seaport town, acquired it, or to be more accurate,
seized it from Henry fitz Warine, and by charter dated August
23rd, 1207, gave him English Lea in exchange for it and for Up-
Litherland, which he had also taken into his own hands. Four
days later he published a proclamation inviting all who would to
come and take burgages at Liverpool, where they should enjoy all
the liberties and free customs enjoyed by any other free borough
on the sea coast (page 225). Further, the King on the following
day (August 28th) issued in similar words his grant by letters
patent making the town a free borough. In the Pipe Roll of the
year following, the Sheriff, in rendering account of the ferm of the
Honor, claimed allowance of 8/i. " in defaltft de Westderbi qua*
est remota usque ad Liuerpul," which meant that the population
of West Derby, representing the men of the King's demesne, had
been partially removed to Liverpool, and while erecting burgage
tenements there, had received remission of the usual rent or ferm
of 8/r. due yearly from the adjoining royal estate of West Derby.
This allowance continued in 1209 and 1210, but ceased after that
year, when it is to be supposed the revenue from West Derby and
Liverpool combined, amounted to the like sum. A few years later,
viz., 10 Henry III., the Pipe Rolls record that the assized rent
of " Lieverpol " was 9li, and of " West Derebe " 31 i. 12s. 6d. We
have evidence in 1211 (page 239) that Liverpool was the usual
seaport from which commodities were shipped to Chester and North
Wales.
After 1182, we meet with evidence that the county within the
Lyme was beginning to be described as a shire, and not by the
nomenclature of the Domesday Survey. In and before that year
INTRODUCTION. Xvii
" Lancastra " was not treated in the Pipe Rolls as a separate
county, but was included under Northumberland or Yorkshire.
Subsequently " Lancastra " appears under a separate heading and
sometimes in conjunction with " scira." It may be said that in
1182 the two ancient divisions, viz. "the land between the Kibble
and the Mersey " and " Lancaster " were finally united in name
under the style of " Lancashire." The importance of the office of
Sheriff in early times is brought into prominence by the Pipe
Eolls. The Sheriff represented the Sovereign in the county,
collecting the revenue fixed and casual, receiving and transmitting
the royal writs to those whom they concerned, keeping the King's
peace in the county, and providing for the defence of the castles
and the administration of the royal estates and so forth. He did
not receive any fixed remuneration, but upon taking office he
undertook to render yearly a fixed sum to the royal Treasury
called the firma comitatus. This was fixed at 200K by tale for
Lancashire in 1164. Out of the balance which he collected, amount-
ing to a sum probably equivalent to the ferm which he rendered, he
discharged the wages of the garrison of the royal castles, and
various clerks, receivers, and officials, the cost of transmitting
writs, moneys and munitions for the King's use, and last, but not
least, he took what he could as the profit of his office for his own
remuneration. Some particulars as to the issues of the Honor are
set forth on pages 264-268. Until the creation of the Duchy in
1351, the Sheriff of Lancaster was also Sheriff of the Honor, and
possessed special jurisdiction over the lands of the Honor in divers
counties.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 31 HENRY I. (MICH. 1129-MICH. 1130).
The Great Roll of the Exchequer, otherwise called the
" Pipe Roll," contains the annual accounts of the revenues of the
crown, arranged under the heads of the several counties or honors,
for the purpose of charging and discharging the Sheriffs and other
persons rendering accounts of the revenues of the royal estates
and other sources of revenue, such as fines, amercements, profits
of lands, tenements, goods or chattels seized into the hands of the
crown, wardships, marriages, reliefs and various other casual profits.
At this time Stephen, Count of Mortain and Boulogne, was
lord of the Honor of Lancaster, by grant from King Henry ; the
crown had therefore no certain revenue from this source. At a
later period, when the honor came into the hands of the crown,
the accounts of the revenue, both certain and casual, were yearly
rendered by the Sheriff of the honor, at the annual Michaelmas
audit at the Exchequer, when he obtained his discharge for all
payments made on behalf of the crown.
For a long period u Lancaster " was not recognized as a county ;
and for some years the account of the ferm of the honor was
rendered by the Sheriff of Northumberland, Lancaster being
generally incorporated with that county, occasionally with York-
shire, and once with Buckinghamshire. Gradually the county
proper was distinguished from the rest of the honor, by the terms
ROLL OF 31 HENRY I. (1129-1130). 3
" infra comitatum " or " infra limam." The full status of a county
appears to have been attained in 1194, when King Eichard took
the Honor and County into his own hands and ejected his brother
John, Count of Mortain.
In this Roll, Bertram de Bulmer, Sheriff of Yorkshire, renders
account of several sums of money due to the Treasury for concords
made by certain persons, who were either Count Stephen's thanes
or tenants by serjeanty of land " between Kibble and Mersey,"
upon a dispute between them and the Count, which had possibly
been heard and determined in the Curia Eegis. The names of
two, Roger, son of Ravenkill and Ughtred, son of Edmund, occur
among the names of thirty freemen, who viewed the boundary of
Furness Fells some years later, upon the settlement of a dispute
as to the division of Furness Fells between the abbot and monks
of Furness and William de Lancaster.
William Maltravers owes a thousand marks of silver and
one hundred pounds to the Treasury, or to whomsoever the King
might direct payment to be made, for the widow of Hugh de Laval
and the lands of the said Hugh, during the term of fifteen years,
and then to have the benefit of her dowry and marriage. This
was the fief of Pontefract and Clitheroe, which Henry I had
bestowed upon Hugh de Laval, after Robert de Lacy's forfeiture
in 1108. Upon the death of Hugh, about this time, the King
granted tliis estate to William Maltravers, named above. In the
year 1135 he was assassinated at Pontefract by a knight called
Paganus, and having taken the cowl, died three days afterwards.
That King Stephen restored the Honors of Pontefract and Clitheroe
to Ilbert de Lacy, is proved by a charter of pardon granted by the
King to the men of Ilbert de Lacy, of all forfeitures made after
the death of King Henry until the King's coronation, and par-
ticularly for the murder of William Maltravers. This suggests
that Ilbert had taken violent steps to recover his father's English
fiefs after King Henry's death.
Robert Grelley, lord of Manchester, had been engaged in a
suit with Count Stephen, concerning lands in his Lincolnshire
fief. He had promised the King 20 marks for his assistance
against Count Stephen, and had presumably obtained a favourable
judgment, which cost him 60 marks more. He paid £16 13s. 4d.
on account, to the Treasury by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire, and at
Michaelmas, 1130, owed the balance of £36 13s. 4d. and one mark
of gold.

Roger de Mowbray, heir to his father Nigel de Albini, was in
ward to the King, and during his minority his estates were in the
King's hands. Out of the issues of these estates for the year, the
Sheriff of Yorkshire claimed allowance of £21 5s. 10rf. for the
payment of one knight, ten serving men, one porter and one
watchman, keeping the castle of Burton-in-Lonsdale, which then
and long after was the caput of the Mowbray Fee in Ewecross
Wapentake.
Geoffrey de Clinton, the celebrated justiciar, had been in eyre
in the year 1129 in many counties, including Yorkshire, and with
his colleagues had held the famous " Assize of Blythe." The
drenghs of Robert de Mowbray's demesne lands had been amerced
for various offences and defaults ; they were afterwards granted
remission of £4 15s. of the total fines set upon them. Roger
de Mowbray himself owed 100 marks ; he had paid 30 marks into
the Treasury, was pardoned the sum of 40 marks by the King's
writ and £7 15s. more, due from his demesne manors, and still
owed the balance of £12 5 a

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 HENRY II. (MICH. 1161-MICII. 1162).
Early in December, 1140, when King Stephen was in Lincoln-
shire antagonizing the Empress Matilda, he granted by charter
to Ranulph de Gernons, Earl of Chester, among other extensive
possessions, all the land of Roger the Poictevin from Northampton
to Scotland — except the land of Roger de Montbegon in Lincoln-
shire— the Honor of Lancaster, and the land between Ribble and
Mersey. By virtue of tliis grant Earl Ranulf shortly after granted
several charters of confirmation to religious houses in Lancashire.
Henry, Duke of Normandy, son of the Empress Matilda, had been
elected sovereign at Winchester on April 8th, 1141. When, on
UOLL OF 8 IIESKY II. (11(51-1102). 5.
January 6th, 1153, he invaded England in pursuit of his claim to
the crown, he deemed it expedient that there should be an under-
standing between himself and the most powerful subject in the
realm, the Earl of Chester. The result of negotiations between
them was the Treaty of Devizes, confirmed by a charter dated
circa March 1st, 1153, whereby the Duke confirmed large posses-
sions both in England and Normandy to Earl Ranulf, and further-
more gave and granted to him the whole honor of Count lloger
the Poitevin, wherever the Earl had aught thereof. The Earl is
generally supposed to have been poisoned soon afterwards, by
William Peverei of Nottingham; for when, in November, 1153,
the peace of Wallingford was concluded between King Stephen
and the Duke, a charter of agreement was made between them,
whereby, inter alia, it was provided that William, the King's
youngest son, Earl of Warren and Surrey in right of his wife,
having done homage and fealty to Duke Henry, thereby re-
nouncing any title he might have to the throne of England, should
receive, by grant from the Duke, whatsoever in England and
Normandy the King held before he attained to the crown, that
is to say, the Counties of Mortain and Boulogne, and the Honor
of Lancaster.
In Bertram de Buhner's account of the Danegeld of Yorkshire,
among the contributions pardoned to various abbeys and indi-
viduals, occurs the sum of £11 17s. od. upon the Earl of Warren's
demesne lands of Lancaster, i.e., of the Honor of Lancaster. The
amount shows that the Earl held 118| geldable hides of land in
demesne in that honor, the levy being at the rate of 2s. the hide
In July, August, and September, 1159, King Henry was
besieging Toulouse, but circa September 26th, he broke up the
siege. In the retreat died Earl Warren. Soon after whose death,
c. 1159-1162, King Henry granted by charter to the bedesmen of
Montmorel, in the diocese of Avranches, for the soul of the
Count whose body was buried there, ten marcatcs of land in
Ickleton, County Cambridge, which Turold de Boreham, the late
Count's Seneschal, apportioned by the order of Beginald de Warren.
In the year 1163 his widow, Isabel, married Hameline
Plantagenet, natural son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Earl of Anjou,
and jure uxoris, fifth Earl of Warren and Surrey. The Pipe
Eoll for the 10 Henry II (1163-1164) records the payment of
£41 10*. M. out of the Ferm of London and Middlesex, for cloth
(pannus) for the Couutess of Warren, doubtless for her trousseau.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 11 HENRY II. (MICH. 1164-MICH. 1165).
The history of the honor, between the death of the Earl of
Warren, and Michaelmas, 1164, is obscure; that it cannot have
been in the Kiug's hands, is clear from the silence of the Pipe
Eolls for those years. It is therefore possible that it was held by
the Countess Isabel, until her marriage with Earl Hammeline, and
that the King thereupon took it into his own hands, restoring
instead the County of Norfolk and the Honor of Pevensey, which
he had seized after the death of William, Earl of Warren.
The Ferm of the Honor of Lancaster amounted to the sum of
£200 num-ero, i.e., reckoned by tale, and not dealbated or pure
(blanche) money. This sum was an estimate of the revenue which
might be expected to arise from the King's demesne lands, thane-
lands, and other territories parcel of the honor. It consisted of
various sums apportioned on each item of the royal estate, some
of which are revealed in the Testa de Nevil : for instance, £5 was
yearly due from the town of Nottingham, and a like sum from the
town of Derby, £13 from lands in Navenby, about £50 from
the thane-lands of Lancashire. Many other items are revealed
by the Pipe Eolls, when the King made grants out of his royal
estate, for which the Sheriff claimed allowance. This sum of
£200 the Sheriff stipulated to pay to the Treasury, in two sums :
£80, due at Easter, and £120, due at Michaelmas each year ; any
deficiency was carried over to the following year, as a debt against
him, but allowance was made for all the payments which he had
made during the year, by virtue of the King's writ or mandate
ROLL OF 11 HENRY II. (1164-1165). 7
(breve Regis). The county ferm, or ferm of the honor, was always
kept distinct from other details of casual or extraordinary revenue,
and invariably appears first on the Pipe Roll. The extraordinary
revenue varied greatly from year to year. It arose from eschaeted
lands, felons' goods and chattels, from aids and scutages, confir-
mations of charters, writs of right to take action at law, offerings
made for the King's pardon or good will, or for the privilege of
being heard before the King in the Curia Regis, the fines and
amerciaments accruing from eyres of the Justices or forest eyres,
and so forth.
"Lancastra" appears this year under the heading of Yorkshire.
Geoffrey de Valoines, a younger brother of Peter de Valoines, who
held a large fief in the Counties of Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk,
and Essex, was the Sheriff of the honor this year. He paid the ferm
into the Treasury without deduction, a somewhat unusual occurrence
and one which suggests that the ferm had recently been fixed at the
sum of £200. Certain entries in after years, point to the fact that
he had acted as Seneschal of the honor to William de Warren.
He held Brocton in County Leicester by grant from Albert Bussel
and Farleton, and Cantsfield by grant from Adam de Montbegon.
During the months of June and July, 1165, King Henry had
been making preparations for a renewed attack upon Wales, of
which there is ample evidence in the Pipe Rolls of this year.
According to Alexander de Swereford, a third scutage for the army
in Wales had been levied in the eighth year of Henry II. The
references in the present Roll probably refer to that scutage, but
the sum accounted for (£52 16s. 8d.) was too large to represent the
levy at the rate of 1 mark on each knight's fee, and probably
included sums of money received from other individuals or
corporate bodies by way of gift (donum). Several of the King's
tenants-in-chief had been with him in the army in Wales, and
having performed military service were excused their quota by the
King's writ. The following allowances were made to the Sheriff on
this account, viz., 10 marks to ten knights who had been in the army
with the King ; 8 marks to Richard le Boteler of Warrington, for
eight knight's fees held by him ; 5 marks to Henry de Lacy for
his fee of Clitheroe for five knight's fees ; leaving a balance due of
5 marks, which was later reduced to 2 marks by the receipt of 40*.
by the hands of Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, on account of three
fees held by Arnald le Ros (liufu*) in Sussex, which this family
held under the said Earl.
8 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
In the early part of the year 1166, at the second Council of
Clarendon, the King's writ was issued to all the barons and tenants-
in-chief throughout the kingdom, requiring them to certify the
number of knights' fees held " de veteri feoffamento," i.e., those of
which the tenants had been enfeoffed before the death of Henry I,
the number and names of the tenants " de novo feoffamento," i.e.,
those who had been enfeoffed subsequent to that date, and the
number of knights' fees which they held in demesne ; so that " if
there were any who had not yet done allegiance to the King, and
whose names were not yet entered on the King's roll, they should
do such allegiance before the first Sunday in Lent," upon which
day, being the 13th March that year, the wrrit was returnable.
The Liber Niger and the Liber Rubeus of the Exchequer, which
contain the various schedules returned in obedience to the King's
precepts, do not appear to contain any return from the tenants-in-
chief of the Honor of Lancaster.1 However, the following list of
knights' fees of the Honor of Lancaster, held by tenants "infra
comitatum " is probably correct for this period : —
Albert Grelley for the barony of Manchester ... h\ fees.
Henry de Lacy „ „ Clitheroe ... 5
Richard fitz Eustace, Constable of Chester, for
the barony of Widnes 4
Albert Bussel for the barony of Fenwortham ... 3
Richard le Boteler in right of his wife Beatrix,
dau. and heir of Matthew de Vilars, for the
barony of Warrington ... ... ... ... 2
Adam de Montbegon for his fee in Tottington

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 12 HENRY II. (MICH. 1165-MICH. 1166).
Lancastra appears this year under Buckinghamshire.
Geoffrey de Valoines vacated the office of Sheriff of the honor
at Michaelmas, and rendered his account of the ferm of Lancaster
for the past year. He paid £200 into the Treasury by two tallies,
one for the Easter ferm of £80, and the other for the Michaelmas
ferm of £120, and was quit.
A balance of 2 marks had remained due, on account of the
scutage, from the last account. Hugh Plucher and Leon de
Malnvers pay this sum into the Treasury. This fee was the Manor
of Holme, now Holme-Fierrepont, in the southern division of the
Wapentake of Bingham, County Notts, and was part of the Domes-
day fief of Roger de Busli, but it had passed either by eschaet and
re-grant, or otherwise, to Leon de Malnvers, and was held as of
the Honor of Lancaster.
Walter de Toulouse paid £4 lis. to have restitution of his
cattle. It was the balance of the sum of 100s. which he had
offered for a writ of right to sue in the Curia Eegis for the recovery
of his cattle, which had probably been seized for some transgres-
sion. He had previously paid 9s., as accounted for on the Pipe
Roll of the previous year, under Yorkshire. The entry has no
reference to Lancaster.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 13 HENRY II. (MICH. 1166-MICH. 1167).
William de Vesci, Sheriff of Northumberland from Michaelmas,
1157, to Easter, 1170, had taken the place of Geoffrey de Valoines
as Sheriff of Lancaster, after Michaelmas the previous year. He
was the son and heir of Eustace fitz John, Lord of Knaresborough,
who had fallen in the ambuscade of Welshmen at Counsylth, near
Basingwerk, in July, 1157, when King Henry was invading North
Wales. His mother, Beatrix, was the daughter and heir of Yvo de
Vesci, Baron of Malton and Alnwick ; William de Vesci was
therefore the half-brother of Richard fitz Eustace, Constable of
Chester and Baron of Halton and Widnes.
He paid £194 13s. 4d. into the Exchequer and claimed allow-
ance for the balance, £5 65. 8d., which he had paid by authority of
a writ received from the Earl of Leicester, then Chief Justice of
England, to John Mauduit and William fitz Martin when they
went to Lancaster on the King's service. In the year 1166,
nearly every county in England was visited by Justices-in-Eyre,
and it was doubtless in this capacity, that John Mauduit and
William fitz Martin had visited Lancaster. The former undoubt-
edly acted occasionally as Justiciar for the King, and was pro-
bably connected with the Mauduits, who for two generations
filled the post of Chamberlain to Kings Henry I and Henry II.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 14 HENRY II. (MICH. 1167-M1CH. 1168).
William de Vesci, the Sheriff of Northumberland, still con-
tinues to render the account of the ferm of Lancaster,1 and had
paid the sum of £181 Is. 4c£ into the Treasury. The balance,
£18 18s. 8d., for which he claims allowance, had been expended
in work upon the new Castle upon Tyne. About July, 1157,
Malcolm, King of Scots, had surrendered Bamborough, the new
Castle upon Tyne, and Carlisle Castle, to King Henry, and had
done homage to him at Chester. Thereupon the King had given
orders that these Castles should be strengthened and put into a fit
state of defence, and during the two years ending at Michaelmas,
1168, work had been executed upon the Castles of Bamborough and
Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the value of £151, under the superinten-
dence and oversight of Robert de Stutevill, afterwards Sheriff of
Yorkshire, and Roger fitz Richard of Warkworth. King Henry had
fortified the Castle of " Were " or Warkworth in the year 1158.
The writ to direct the Sheriff to execute the work was issued by
Richard de Lucy, who had been Justiciar since King Henry's
coronation. The sum expended had been met partly out of the
ferm of the County of Northumberland and that of the Honor of
Lancaster, and partly out of revenue which resulted from the
Eyre of the Justices in 1166, but the detailed account of these
receipts does not appear upon the Pipe Rolls for the years 1167
and 1168.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 15 HENRY II. (MICH. 1168-MICH. 1169).
Lancaster again occurs under Northumberland on the Pipe
Roll of this year.
The Sheriff, William de Vesci, renders his account of the
ferm of the honor, and having paid £186 13s. M. into the
Treasury, claims allowance for ten librates of land, which King
Henry had given to William de Valoines in Culpho, in co. Suffolk,
before Michaelmas, 1168. This grant diminished the ferm of the
honor by the sum of £10, and for the future the Sheriff yearly
claims allowance of this sum. These ten librates of land in
Culpho were held by military service of the Honor of Lancaster,
by the service of half a knight's fee, and were part of the Domes-
day fief of Roger of Poictou, in Sussex. William de Valoines
afterwards gave the church of Culpho to the Abbey of Leystone,
founded circa 1182 by Ranulf de Glanvill.
The Sheriff owes upon balance the sum of 5 marks, which was
carried forward to the next year's account, as a debt due from him.
In the year 1166, King Henry had negotiated a marriage
for his eldest daughter Matilda with Henry, the Lion Duke of
Saxony, and in the present year, 1168-9, the aid (auxilium) on the
said marriage was collected by the Sheriffs throughout England,
upon the basis of 2 marks from each knight's fee, and in the
case of the crown lands, probably a sum assessed upon each town-
ship ; but there is no return of any contribution from the tenants
by knights' service of the Honor of Lancaster.
Cartmel contributed 2£ marks in 2 tallies.
The men of Salford £14 10s. in 22 tallies.
Robert, son of Henry, ancestor of the Lathom family, contributed
10 marks.
14 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Preston, Singleton, Eibby, Preesall and Ashton, all in Anioun-
derness, contributed £10 in 8 tallies.
Ughtred de Singleton, sometimes called Ughtred son of Huck,
rendered an account of £20, which may have been assessed upon
the remainder of the royal estate in Amounderness. He paid
£8 65. 8rf. on account, and owed £11 135. 4d.
The Hundred of West Derby with its members contributed
£11 35. id. in 19 tallies.
The towns in Lonsdale Wapentake contributed £26 13s. 4d. in
15 tallies.
Warin serviens or serjeant contributed 2 marks.
Adam son of Bernulf [de Kellet], a tenant of Michael [le
Fleming] de Furness in Urswick, rendered an account of 20 marks.
He paid 24s. 8d. on account, and owed £12 2s.
Orm de Haydock, probably the father of Alured of luce, in
Wigan parish, rendered an account of 10 marks. He paid 13s. 4d.
and owed £6.
The Wapentakes of Makerfield and Lonsdale contributed £28
in 10 tallies.
Croxton, in Leicestershire, contributed 2 marks. William,
Count of Boulogne, had been a benefactor to the Abbey of Croxton
and had endowed it with lands there. There are good grounds for
supposing that he was the founder of the abbey, for Willielmus
Portarius, the reputed founder, did not obtain a footing here until
some years later.
The Sheriff renders an account of £66 13?. 4tf. (100 marks),
arising from a general Assize of the County of Lancaster, for
defaults and amercements, whereby it appears that this sum was
not the result of an Eyre of the Justices, but was a composition
or general fine, assessed by competent persons, to discharge the
county from liability on account of various negligences, purpres-
tures and trespasses within the widely extended forest lands of
Lancaster. The Sheriff paid £61 0s. 8d. into the Exchequer and
owed £5 12s. 8d on balance.
YORKSHIRE PIPE ROLL.
Henry de Lacy, Lord of Pontefract, contributed a sum to the
Aid, based upon the number of knights' fees of new feoffment
which he possessed.
Kichard de Eos (?) had offered 5 marks that his suit against
Michael de Furness might be expedited. He paid lis. on account.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 16 HENRY II. (MICn. 1169-MICH. 1170).
At a great Court held in London at Easter, the Sheriffs
throughout the country were removed from office by the King and
a commission of enquiry issued to the Barons, whereby they were
directed to take the oaths of all the Barons, Knights, and Freeholders
of each county and to receive their evidence, as to the receipts of
the Sheriffs and their servants, and all other special administra-
tors of the royal demesne, to ascertain if the Sheriffs had justly
enforced the Assize of Clarendon and had honestly collected the
aid to marry the King's daughter, the profits of the forests and
other sources of royal income. The Sheriffs were afterwards
acquitted, but none were replaced in their former office, and a
blow was struck at the local influence of the feudal lords by the
appointment of many officers of the Exchequer and Curia Eegis
to the vacant Magistracies.
William de Vesci quitted office as Sheriff of Lancaster as also
of Northumberland, at Easter 1170, consequently he answers for
the ferm of £80 only, due at the Easter Term. He paid £75 into
the Treasury, took credit for 100s. as the half-year's allowance for
10 librates of land recently granted to William de Valoines, and
paid the arrears of 5 marks which had been brought over to his
debit from the previous year's account of the ferm of the honor,
and so he was quit.
Roger de Herleberg was his successor in office. He rendered
his account of the ferm of £120 for the half-year ending at
Michaelmas, paying £105 into the Treasury, taking credit for
£5 on account of the before-mentioned grant, and owed upon
balance the sum of £10
ROLL OF 16 HEN11Y II. (1169-1170). 17
The arrears carried over from the previous year, and remaining
due on account of the aid to marry the King's daughter, are duly set
out, the payments credited and the balances again carried forward.
Reference to the visit of John Mauduit and William fitz Martin
to Lancaster on the King's business, occurred upon the Roll for the
13 Henry II. That visit was probably in connection with the
assessment of the aid pir fille marier and probably included an
enquiry into the administration of the royal forests of Lancaster,
which covered a vast tract of country, more particularly in the
Hundred of Lonsdale, where the forest precincts included many
townships and extended almost to the very walls of Lancaster
Castle. To fell timber, to convert pasture or waste into arable, to
make any kind of enclosure, to erect edifices or dispose of the same
within this territory, were offences against the oppressive Forest
laws ; but notwithstanding the wild and inaccessible nature of the
country, there had undoubtedly been a gradual re-settlement of the
townships devastated after the Norman invasion and a considerable
growth of population within the area described as Forest. The
extension of the cultivated area and the erection of houses was the
result, and although illegal, had been tacitly permitted all over
the county by the Sheriff and Crown officers. But the reign of
Henry II produced a greatly improved organization and adminis-
tration of the laws throughout the country, and while eager to check
the excesses and curtail the power of the feudatories, the King
eagerly sought to swell the royal income by placing the control of
the counties and the royal estates in the hands of officers of the
Exchequer and Curia Regis, as Sheriffs, and organizing a regular
and effective eyre of the Justices throughout the realm.
The present roll bears witness to a stricter policy of adminis-
tration. Sundry debts due to the King since the time when
Geoffrey deValoines became Sheriff in 1164, were brought to light
and certified by the writ of John Mauduit and William fitz Martin
and by the report of the late Sheriff.
Michael de Furness held 20 \ carucates of land in Furness for a
yearly rent of £10. He was in arrears to the extent of two years'
rent, and now finds the requisite sureties for payment, viz., Richard
le Boteler for 10 marks, Hugh Norman (or Norris) for 100$., and
Richard de Win wick for 100s.
Albert Bussel, lord of Penwortham, owes 18 \ marks.
Adam de Montbegon, lord of Hornby and of the fee of Middleton
and Bury, owes 75 marks.

18 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Circa September, 1157, the King, at Woodstock, confirmed
an agreement made between William fitz Gilbert and the monks
of Furness. There are seveial Lancashire men among the witnesses,
and also Geoffrey de Valoines, who may at that time have occupied
the position of Seneschal of Lancaster to William Count of Boulogne.
It is not improbable that the debts above referred to, had
remained from the time when the said Count was in possession of
the Honor of Lancaster. If the debts due from Albert Bussel and
Adam de Montbegon remained due on account of their reliefs, we
should get 1155-1159 as the approximate date of the death of
their predecessors, viz., Richard Bussel, the elder brother of Albert,
and Roger de Montbegon, father of Adam named in this Roll.
Richard Bussel was a benefactor to the Abbey of Croxton.
Robert, son of William (see p. 25), owes 35 marks for the King's
pardon and finds sureties for payment, viz., William de Lancaster
for 5 marks, Gospatric the son of Orm (ancestor of the Curwens of
Workington and cousin to William de Lancaster) for 5 marks,
William de Vesci (Baron of Malton and Alnwick) for 10 marks,
Michael de Furness for 5 marks, Roger son of Ravenkill for 5
marks, and Adam son of Helye for 5 marks.
Alan de Nevill had held Pleas of the Forest in several counties,
but in the County of Lancaster none were held, an assessment or
composition of 200 marks being accepted from the whole county,
in order that the View of the Forest might be put in respite until
another Forest Regard.1 The peculiar conditions already referred
to in a previous note, rendered it advisable to compound with the
King's Justiciar by the payment of a large sum, rather than
undergo a Regard of the Forest, and pay the penalties which
would follow the disclosure of widespread trespasses before the
Justices in Eyre.
Some time during the years 1189-1194, John, Earl of Mortain,
granted by charter that the knights, thanes and freeholders
dwelling within the forest of the Honor of Lancaster, should have
licence to assart and pasture their own underwoods, and should be
acquitted from the Forest Regard, and for this charter they gave
1 A View of the Forest, to be taken by the Regarders every third year,
preceded the general eyre of the Forest held by the Justiciar, and no Justice Seat
or Picas could bo hold until this View had been taken. All offences against the
Forest laws were first tried in the Swanimote, where the Terderers were judges and
the freeholders dwelling within the forest, owed suit and service; no judgment or
punishment followed there, but the presentments were placed upon a roll to be
produced at the General Eyre.
ROLL OF 17 HENRY II. (1170-1171). 19
him the sum of £500. Which charter was confirmed by King John,
after his accession to the throne, and likewise by King Henry III.,
in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Richard de Winwick owes 40 marks for William de Nevill's
cattle, which he seized contrary to the King's injunction, and put
in no defence when impleaded before the King's Justices.
Richard de Morvill, the younger son of Simon de Morvill, lord
of Burgh-on-Sands and Ishall, co. Cumberland, married Avicia, the
daughter of William de Lancaster I.1 He offers the King 200
marks for a writ of right to sue for the lands which he claims in
marriage with the said Avicia. This points to the fact that
William de Lancaster I. was then dead and the action would be
taken against the son, or if he was under age, against the
guardians.
It does not appear what particular lands Richard de Morvill
obtained with his wife. In the year 1189-1190 he and his wife
made a grant to the monks of Furness of land in Selside, co. York,
held under de Mowbray, which grant was confirmed the following
year by their son and heir William de Morvill.

1 William de Lancaster I. held one knight's fee in Amounderness, Lonsdale, and
Furness of the Honor of Lancaster. His Kendal fief, however, was held under
Hugh de Morrill, lord of Westmorland and grantee in the year 1158 from King
Henry of the Custle of Knaresborough and other estates in Yorkshire and West-
morland. This Hugh, who was probably the uncle or possibly the brother of
Simon de MorviU, lord of Burgh-on-Sands, was one of the four knights who
assassinated Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the year 1170, where-
upon he lost all his estates and died soon after in the Holy Land.
The whole County of Westmorland was granted to Philip de Valoines in 1170,
when he paid £30 for his relief of four knights' fees for the Barony of Appleby,
and two knights' fees for the Barony of Kendal, of which latter estate Willi iin de
Lancaster 11. was in cene -tenant under him.

The Sheriff first accounts for the sum of £10 which remained
due from the previous year. He had paid it by authority of the
King's writ to two officials of the Crown : Eobert Poer, afterwards
the King's Marshal, and one Madihus, to whom a further sum of
£66 had been paid under the King's direction out of the current
year's ferm, doubtless in connection with the expenses of the Irish
expedition. A further sum of £14 lis. has been expended upon
the construction of two wooden towers to be dispatched into
Ireland for siege purposes. The King sailed for Ireland from
Milford Haven on October 16th, 1171, and the Pipe Eolls contain
numerous references to the dispatch of stores, ships, and the
Treasury for the army in Ireland.
The King had granted nine librates of land, being the Manor
of Stainsby in the Hundred of Scarsdale, co. Derby, before Michael-
mas, 1170, to William fitz Walkeline, for one niais hawk yearly.
This grant was afterwards confirmed by King Henry in December,
1174, when he was at Chivilli (Chevaillec). Stainsby was part of
the Domesday fief of Eoger of Poictou.
The Sheriff also claims allowance for four librates and six-
teen solidates of land in Drakelow, held by serjeanty. This is a
reference to an antecedent grant for which he had previously
neglected to claim allowance. Nigel de Gresley was the Domesday
tenant, and his estates had been taken into the King's hands after
the rebellion of Eoger of Belesme, in 1102-3. Drakelow was
afterwards restored to him, not as a military fief however, but to
be held as a petit serjeanty, by the yearly render of a bow without
string, a quiver, twelve arrows and a wooden chest, and at the
date of this roll was held by Eobert de Gresley, grandson of Nigel.
In the Domesday Survey under Derbyshire, he is called Nigel de
Statford, and is returned as a tenant in capite of Drakelow. In
the Staffordshire Survey, he is described as " Nigellus," being also
returned as a tenant in capite of Thorpe (postea Thorpe Con-
stantine), this being accounted for by the fact, that Eoger of Poictou's
fief, (of which it was a member), had been temporarily taken
into the King's hands at the time of the Survey ; but Thorpe was
never restored, and there is no trace of the Gresleys having after-
wards held any interest in it, although it continued to remain as
parcel of the Honor of Lancaster. The Survey, however, has the
following entry respecting Thorpe : " Hanc terram calumniatur
Nicolaus (de Beauchamp, the lord of Chartley and Sheriff of co.
22 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Stafford) ad firuum Regis de Clifton " : Clifton being a King's
Manor adjacent to Thorpe. The claim may have been based on
orders to the Sheriff to take the lands of Roger of Poictou into
the King's hands, and the local jury may have misunderstood the
grounds of the claim.
Under Yorkshire an entry occurs, which shows that the Abbot
of Furnes3 had been in possession of some land to which his title
was disputed. He had been impleaded, and had elected to defend
the suit by duel.1

1 The form of action by which land could be recoYcred in the twelfth century,
where there was no contract between the parties, or special relationship, as in the
case of a widow's uction for dower, or of an advowson, was as follows : — The plaintiff
either sent a writ of right (breve de recto tenendo) to the lord of whom the disputed
land was held, bidding him do justice between them, or else served the tenant with
a Prcecipe quod reddat% summoning him at once into the King's Court. If the
plaintiff was doubtful of obtaining justice in the Lord's Court, the action could be
carried into the County Court, or from thence into the Curia Regis. But a price
had to be paid for licence to take action, hence the above entry. The procedure
was very slow, and the action might remain in suspense for months, or even years.
Ample opportunity of appearing and producing evidence was given, and an
obstructive defendant might gain time by an essoin, pleading that he was ill in bed
(essonia de malo lecli), or that he was stopped by floods or snow (essonia de malo
veniendi). The tenant must be allowed to call to warranty the person by whose
grant he claimed to hold, and he in turn might call in his warrantor. Hence long
delajs, albeit that in the end this action decided the question of best right once
aud for ever.
At this date proceedings by wager of battle were still in force, and when the
defendant happened to have a good champion, he frequently elected to defend the
suit by duel, rather than avail himself of the decision of the Courts.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 18 HENRY II. (MICH. 1171-MICH. 1172).
As in the account of the previous year's ferm, the Sheriff treats
the thirteen librates and sixteen solidates of land granted out of
the royal estate, as a debt due from the grantees, and awaits the
royal confirmation of the grant before claiming allowance for this
reduction in the ferm of the honor.
This year a Scutage of 20s. on each knight's fee was levied for
the war in Ireland. The Sheriff answers for £68 16*. 5d. for the
scutage of sixty-eight fees, a half, a quarter, and the fourteenth
part of a knight's fee, of those held of the Honor of Lancaster,
which he had been able to find. He paid into the Exchequer
the sum due from fifty one knights' fees, a half, a quarter, and
the fourteenth part of a knight's fee. Ranulf de Glanvill, the
Justiciar, vas excused his quota from one knight's fee in Thorpe
Bussel, co. Suffolk, which Albert (?) Bussel had given to Gutha
(Edith ?), sister of the said Eanulph, in dower. It descended to
Ranulf de Glanvill's daughter Amabil, who married Ralph de
Ardern, who afterwards enfeoffed Roger de Muriell in this fee.
It had been part of the Domesday fief of Roger of Poictou. The
Sheriff had still to account for the quota due from sixteen fees.
The King excuses Ughtred de Singleton, Adam son of Bernulf,
and Orm de Haydock, the arrears due from them for the aid pur
filh maricr, which had been carried over yearly since 1169, on
account of their poverty and because they had paid into the
Exchequer what they could, when they were in charge of the
collection of the aid.
Several payments have been recently made on account of
arrears previously noted. The reference to Adam de Montbegon's
debt of 75 marks, which was apparently excused by Richard de
ROLL OF 21 HENRY II. (1174-1175). 25
Lucy's writ, is not very intelligible, except on the supposition that
this sum had been paid to John Malherbe by the authority of the
King's writ, and that the Sheriffs responsibility in the matter had
thereby terminated.
Robert, son of William, had liquidated 25 marks of his arrears
by a payment of 22 marks to the Exchequer and 3 marks by the
King's authority paid to Roger Bacon and Henry Pienu. The
balance, 10 marks, was to be recovered from William de Vesci, the
recently suspended Sheriff of the honor.
Ughtred, son of Huck, whom I take to be the same individual
previously described as Ughtred de Singleton, owes 2 marks which
he had charged for the pannage of swine of the tenants in Single-
ton.
Under Yorkshire an entry discloses the number of knights'
fee3 held by Henry de Lacy of his fee of Pontefract, and upon
which his Scutage in lieu of knight's service in the campaign in
Ireland was assessed. He had forty- four and three-quarter fees
"de veteri feoflfamento " and thirty-one fees and the fifteenth part
of a fee " de novo feoflfamento." The essence of the King's enquiry
in 1166 as to knight's service lay in the fact that although the
crown knew the amount of service due from each fief, as it had
existed for a long period before 1166, it did not know the number
of milites actually enfeoffed by each baron and his predecessors
down to that date, with the number of servitia due from each such
miles to the baron. As a result of the return of 1166, there was
a large increase in the incidence of scutage ; in the case of Henry
de Lacy's Yorkshire fief amounting to nearly 70 per cent.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 21 HENRY 11. (MICH. 1172-MICH. 1175).
The accounts of the ferm of the Honor of Lancaster for the
two years ending at Michaelmas, 1174, were not returned by the
Sheriff until Michaelmas, 1175, no doubt owing to the rebellion of
that portion of the baronage, which, as Professor Stubbs remarks,
" inherited the traditions of the Conquest and the ancient Norman
spirit," and had been awaiting a suitable opportunity to rebel
28 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
against King Henry, on account of his progressive measures for
the curtailment of feudal power.
Koger de Herleberg quitted office at Easter, 1173, and at
Michaelmas, 1175, he rendered hi3 account of arrears : for the year
1170, £4 10s. ; for the year 1171, £13 16s., and for the year 1172,
£13 16s. ; total arrears £32 2s. The Sheriff had continued to
charge himself with the ferm of Stainsby for 2£ years past,
although the King had given it to William fitz Walkeline at
Easter, 1170, and for the ferm of Drakelow for two years past,
which had been given as a petit serjeanty by King Henry I
to Nigel de Gresley, and was now held by the grandson of Nigel
(see page 21). This was a matter of old account, which the
Sheriff had overlooked and neglected to claim allowance for. At
Michaelmas, 1172, he had received the King's writ authorising the
allowance of these sums. Afterwards they appear yearly in the
account known as the Corpus Comitatus.
So far his account had dealt with the ferm of the honor to
Michaelmas, 1172. He therefore rendered his account for the
ensuing half-year ending at Easter, 1173, when he quitted office,
and was thereupon quit.
Kanulf de Glanvill entered office at Easter, 1173, and held
office during a year of great turmoil. In July the Justiciar,
Richard de Lucy, upon whom devolved the defence of the country
in the King's absence, besieged and took Leicester, but failed to
take the castle which was held by the officers of Hugh Bigod, Earl
of Norfolk, one of the leaders of the rebellion. In rendering his
account for the year, Kanulf Glanvill was unable to pay anything
to the Treasury, but is excused by the King's writ the sum of
£45 13s. lOd. (should be £45 10s. 10tf.), which was not forth-
coming on account of the war at Leicester, and by default of
Hamon de Mascy, one of the Earl of Chester's barons, who was on
the side of the rebels. He owed £120 13s. 2d. upon balance for
the ferm of the honor.
The next year, 1174, Kanulf Glanvill took an active part in
defeating and taking captive the King of Scots at Alnwick.
Some time during the half-year ending at Michaelmas, he was
succeeded in office by Kalph fitz Bernard ; they were consequently
associated in rendering an account of the sum of £120 due at that
term. The sum of £16 18s. was allowed to them jointly on
account of the royal grants ; £12 10s. was allowed to Kalph fitz
Bernard on account of deficiency in the ferm by reason of the said
ROLL OF 21 HENRY II. (1172-1175). 29
war ; £39 Is. had been paid by him to the Treasury, and of the
balance, — £51 lis., the sum of £38 15s. 8d. remained due from
Eanulf Glanvill, which lie had collected in pence (the general
name of the issues of the honor), and £12 15s. 4d. remained due
jointly, pending an enquiry as to the apportionment of the sums
which the one had collected during the others term of office.
During his term of office Ranulf Glanvill had received from
Michael de Furness, the moiety of the debt due from him to the
King, which has already been referred to ; and certain issues of
lands which had been taken into the King's hands, perquisites of
courts and taxes of manors parcel of the honor, belonging to the
period of the war, amounting to the sum of £12 Os. 4d., of which
details are given, viz. : —
£3 4s., the ferm of Navenby, which had been the Chamber-
lain of TancarviH'8 land.
18s. 8d., the ferm of Wellingore, which Eustace Cade held.
£4 10s. for tallage assessed upon Navenby by William
Basset.
£1 7s. 4d. for tallage assessed upon Wellingore by the same.
13s. 3d. for grain sold in Wellingore.
£1 Is. for booty seized in Hamon de Mascy's land.
William de Tancarvill was the son of Eabel de Tancarvill,
Chamberlain of Normandy, and according to Benedictus (Vol. I.,
p. 45) he was one of Prince Henry's partisans in the rebellion of
1173.
Eustace Cade also appears to have taken part in the rebellion
against the King, and so to have forfeited his lands in Wellingore
and Navenby.
In 1163-4 the King had granted to Eustace, son of William
Cade, ten librates of land in Navenby, formerly part of Durand
Malet's Domesday fief, which having escheated to the crown, had
been incorporated in the Honor of Lancaster of Henry I. Eustace
Cade had enfeoffed William de Tancarvill in a part of the estate
lying in Navenby. After this forfeiture the King used to receive
£13 yearly from Navenby.
The whole of Eanulf GlanvilPs indebtedness amounted to
£181 9s. 2d. The King afterwards excused him the whole sura.
The ferm of the honor for the current year ending at Michaelmas,
1175, remained to be accounted for by the new Sheriff, Kalph
litz Bernard. Upon the termination of the rebellion and the
30 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
restoration of order, it became possible for the Sheriff to collect
the ferm of the honor, and he was able to pay the whole balance
into the Treasury, after claiming allowance for £23 16s. reduction
of the ferm by the royal grants previously noted, and a further
reduction of £10 on account of ten librates of land granted to
Stephen de Saukevill in Mendham, County Suffolk. This had
been part of the Domesday fief of Roger of Poictou. Afterwards
Roger de Huntingfield held Mendham for one fee by knight's service.
It is noteworthy, in reference to the rebellion of the years
1173-4, that King Henry's success was chiefly due to the manner
in which the people, and notably those of Yorkshire, supported his
cause, testifying to the constitutional hold which the King had on
the body of the nation.
The King's clemency was remarkable. He did not take re-
venge upon his enemies by executions or wholesale confiscations,
but converted his enemies to friendship by his mercy. As an
example, the Staffordshire Pipe Roll for the current year shows
that Hamon de Mascy obtained the King's pardon and goodwill
and recovered his estate, by paying a fine of 300 marks, 10 hounds,
and 10 hawks.
Only one of the remaining entries requires notice, the others
having already been under observation. In the notes upon the
Pipe Roll for the year 1169-70, it was seen that no View of the
Forests had been lately held in the County of Lancaster, and that
the county had escaped the consequences of the holding of Forest
Pleas by a composition of 200 marks. Since then, however, Pleas
of the Forest had been held by Alan de Nevill, the Forest Justice,
and his associates, Robert Mantel and William fitz Ralph, who had
imposed fines amounting to £93 135. 4 d., for waste committed
within the forests in the cutting down of timber or underwood,
and for assarts.1

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 22 HENRY II. (MICH. 1175-MICH. 1176).
The only new item in the account of the ferm of the county,
is the grant of twenty librates of land in Croxton Keyrial, in
Leicestershire to Engeran le Porter and Eoger de St. Aubin about
the end of June, 1176. King Henry made this giant of two parts
of Croxton and of Sedgebrook, in exchange lor Corsham and
Conington.
It is evident from the date of this grant, that William, Earl of
Boulogne, was the founder of the Abbey of Premonstratensian
Canons at Croxton, and that William le Porter, son of the above
grantee, was not the founder as stated by Tanner, and repeated
by Dugdale on his authority, but only a very substantial benefac-
tor at a later period. Margery de St. Aubin and Wymer (?) her
son were also benefactors. See Dugdale's Monasticon, Vol. VI.,
p. 376-7 ; where there is an account of this manor, erroneously
described as of the Honor of Eye, through various possessors,
— Hubert de Burgh among others — until King John's grant to
Bertram de Kyriall, who probably gave the township its distinctive
name.
Richard, son of Roger, lord of Lytham and Bryning, held one-
fourth part of a knight's fee in Argar Meles of the fief of Penwor-
tham. Appurtenant to this fee were Simonswood and Kirkby,
which had been afforested and put within fence after the corona-
tion of King Henry. Richard, son of Roger, offered the sum of
5 marks that the Justiciars might be directed to enquire the
truth concerning the said Richard's estate in Kirkby. It had been
taken into the King's hands, because he had married his daughter
ROLL OF 22 HENRY II. (1175-1170). 33
Matilda to Robert de Stockport, without the King's licence. The
result of the enquiry is recorded hereafter in the roll of 20 Henry IL
Walter Barat of Preston discharged a debt of 4 marks which
he had incurred in withdrawing from his appeal before the
Justices. An appeal — literally the calling someone before the
Justices — might be of various kinds, as of homicide, of wounding,
of imprisonment, of robbery, of arson, or of larceny. The appellor
or accuser could not withdraw at his own will ; it was the privilege
of the King to dispense justice, and anyone wishing to withdraw
must fine with the King or his representatives, the Justices, for
permission to do so.
Gilbert, son of Waltheof, had been outlawed. The reason is
not disclosed, but the rebellion of 1173-4 offers sufficient grounds,
in the absence of any other evidence, for the supposition that he
had taken part against the King with the rebellious barons. The
magnitude of the fine which he offered for remission of sentence
of outlawry, and restitution of his office and lands, is explained
by the fact that he held by inheritance the office of Master Sergeant
of the Wapentake of West Derby, and lands in Walton, Waver-
tree, and Newsham by grand serjeanty, conferred upon his father
Waltheof, by William, Count of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warren.
Henry de Walton afterwards obtained from King John a confir-
mation of the said lands and office, previously confirmed to his
father Gilbert, son of Waltheof, when John was Count of Mortain
and Boulogne. He also obtained the restitution of an estate at
Chesterton in co. Stafford, given by King Henry to the said
Waltheof circa 1155-1157, which Gilbert de Walton had forfeited
about this time (Pipe Roll 1 John).
A similar instance of a heavy fine occurs in the Westmorland
Pipe Roll of 22 Henry II., when Gospatric, son of Orm, paid a fine
of 500 marks for having surrendered Appleby Castle to William
the Lion, King of Scotland, during the Scotch invasion of 1174.
Ughtred, son of Huck, ancestor of the family of Singleton, held
one carucate of land in Broughton by grant from William, Count
of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warren. He is here recorded as offering
5 marks for the King's warranty of land given to him by Geoffrey
de Valoines. It may be, therefore, that William de Warren's
charter was merely confirmatory of Geoffrey's grant. There is,
however, in this entry some confirmation of the supposition that
Geoffrey de Valoines had been Earl Warren's Seneschal, and that
the " debita Regis " previously referred to (page 15) were actually
34 TIIE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
arrears, which had remained unpaid from the time when Earl
Warren was lord of the Honor of Lancaster.
This Ughtred is sometimes called Ughtred de Singleton, and
it is probable that he had a grant of half a carucate of land in
Singleton, from William, Count of Boulogne, to hold by grand
serjeanty of the Wapentake of Amounderness, which office and
land certainly descended by inheritance to his grandson, Alan de
Singleton, who died circa 29 Henry III. He offered 100s. that
he might have the marriage of another daughter of Eobert, son of
Eeinward, whose heirs were in ward to the King. This Eobert,
son of Eeinward, was a nephew of Eichard (fitz Warin) Bussel, and
was one of the witnesses to the latter's grant to the monks of
Evesham, of a fouith part of his fishing of Penwortham.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 23 HENRY II. (MICH. 1176-MICH. 1177).
Ranulph Glanvill's various debts, amounting to a total sum of
£194 4a. 6d., are again particularized, and the whole sum pardoned
by the authority of the King's writ. Doubtless he was able to
prove that he had been at great expense, in raising the forces
with which he materially contributed to the defeat and capture
of William, King of Scots, at Alnwick in July, 1174.
There had been an escheat of land to the crown before Michael-
mas, 1175, probably three carucates, in the Manor of Marton.
At this period the towns of Ashton (near Preston), Great Marton,
and Blackrod were in the King's hands, as part of the Honor of
Peverel, which had been taken into the King's hands when William
Peverel, of Nottingham, forfeited his estates for poisoning Ranulph,
Earl of Chester. Great Marton, however, descended to the family
of Ferrers, by the marriage of William Ferrers with Margaret,
daughter and heir of the said William Peverel, and had recently
been taken into the King's hands on account of Robert Ferrers'
participation in the recent rebellion of the Barons. It was
afterwards included in the grant of Amounderness to Theobald
Walter by Richard I. in April, 1194. King John, when he wa3
Count of Mortain, granted Blackrod to Hugh le Norris for his
homage and service, and the render of 20s. yearly ; and Ashton
to Arthur, or Arctur de Ashton in free thanage by the service
of 10s. yearly.
This year, in anticipation of a great expedition to Normandy,
King Henry levied an aid (auxilium) or tallage upon his royal
demesnes and upon the lands held in thanage, drengage, and at
fee farm. The assessors were William fitz Ralph, William Basset,
and Michael Belet, of whom the first two were Justiciars, appointed
by the Statute of Northampton, held there January 26th, 1176, to
ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (1177-1178). 37
go on the circuit of the Counties of Lincoln, Notts., Derby, Stafford,
Warwick, Northants., and Leicester, together with Hugh de Gun-
devill.
The assessment of 38 J marks had been made upon the royal
demesnes " extra comitatum," and possibly upon lands held at fee
farm, lying within the Honor in other counties.
The town of Preston was assessed at £16 10s., a sum which
points to the importance of the place even at tliis early date. A
few years later the King made it a free borough.
Thorpe was a manor lying near Bretherton, and was an escheat
from the Barony of Penworthani.
The thanes and drenghs held about one hundred carucates of
land, yielding about £33 yearly, or one-sixth of the whole ferm of
the county ; they were assessed at 72£ marks.
The Boll supplies a full list of the royal demesnes in Lanca-
shire at this time, which — excluding the town of Preston and the
escheated manor of Thorp — numbered twenty-five manors with
their hamlets, having an effective outfit of fifty-eight and a- half
carucce or plough teams, a breeding stock of cattle to maintain this
number of teams, and pigs and sheep sufficient to provide subsis-
tence for the population engaged in tilling the royal estate. The
Aid was levied at the rate of 1 mark for each caruca. The thanes
and drenghs apparently contributed to the Aid upon a lower basis
of assessment.
The total aid from the Honor amounted to £130 4s. 8d.

NOTES ON THI PIPE ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (MICH. 1177-MICH. 1178).
In the account of the Corpus Comitatus the usual routine
entries occur, and various payments are made on account of the
debts previously noted.
ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (1177-1178). 39
Thomas fitz Bernard, the Forest Justice, had been in Eyre of
the forests during the fiscal year in this county. He again accepts
a composition — this time of 100 marks — from the knights and
others dwelling within the forests, in order that they might have
respite from the next View of the Forest. In the year 1170 the
county paid a composition of 200 marks for respite.
The names of a number of the secular clergy and other per-
sons holding lands in the Hundreds of Leyland, West Derby, and
Salford occur as owing various sums of money for fines imposed
upon them by the Forest Justices for waste or assarts made within
the precincts of the forest in those hundreds.
Eobert, Archdeacon of Chester, owes 100s. " pro foresta." His
name does not appear in the list of archdeacons given in the
History of Cheshire, Vol. I., p. 113. His fine remained as a debt
upon many successive Pipe Eolls, from which it would appear that
he had no land within the Honor. His offence may have been
that of felling timber without licence.
If Albert Bussel was still alive he must have been a very old
man. His wife's name was Leticia. Her brother Humphrey,
clericvs, was fined 1 m. " pro foresta."
Jordan, dean of Manchester ; Stephen, clericys of the church of
Walton on the Hill ; Richard, clericus of the church of Prescot ;
Adam, presbyter ; Robert, presbyter of Childwall ; Adam, clericus of
the church of North Meols, and Adam, dean of Kirkham in
Amounderness, were all fined " pro foresta."
Geoffrey de Longton was a free tenant of Albert Bussel's in
Leyland and Longton. His son Robert, son of Geoffrey, is named
in Hugo Bussel's charter of confirmation of the grants made by
his grandfather, uncle and father, to the Abbey of Evesham.
Richard, son of Henry, was probably brother of Robert, lord of
Lathom, and the ancestor of the Torbocks of Torbock.
The Testa de Nevill (Vol. II., fol. 823) records that Albert
Gredle [11 66-1182] enfeoffed Thomas de Perpont in three carucates
of land in Rumworth and Lostock by the service of the third part
of one knight's fee. In the reign of King John this was held by
Richard de Perpont, named in this Pipe Roll. (Testa de Nevill,
Vol. II., f. 791.)
The same authority (Vol. II., f. 816) records that Richard
Bussell [? 1135-1160] gave two carucates of laud in Standish
and Langtree to Robert Spileman in marriage with his sister.
Siward de Standish was a witness to Albert Bussel's charter of
40 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
confirmation to the Abbey of Evesham, and is no doubt the indi-
vidual mentioned here. By a fine levied at Westminster, on the
Octave of Holy Trinity, 8 John [5th June, 1206], these two carucates
of land were partitioned between Siward de Langtree and Ralph
de Standish, the former taking the carucate of land in Langtree,
one moiety of the advowson of the church of Standish, a moiety of
the commonable wood in Standish, and 16 acres of assarted land
lying near the said wood ; the other taking the carucate of land in
Standish, the other moiety of the advowson, and of the wood, and
16 acres of assarted land. Both Ralph de Standish and Siward de
Langtree1 were witnesses to Robert Bussel's grant of a fishery in
Ribble to the Abbey of Evesham.
Roger Pincerna, i.e. " le Boteler," was probably a younger
brother of Theobald Walter. He and his wife Qucnilda — who
survived him — are mentioned in the Chartulary of Cockersand,
together with their sons, Richard, Robert, and Adam. She was
afterwards called Quenilda de Wartou.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 25 HENRY II. (MICH. 1178-MICH. 1179).
The Sheriff first accounts for the balance which he owed on
account of the ferm of the previous year. He paid it into the
Treasury.
In his account of the ferm of the current year, he claims allow-
ance for £18 15s. 9d. which he had spent upon the Royal hunts-
men and hounds during the six months from November 20, 1178,
to May 20, 1179. The King is said to have visited several parts
of the kingdom during the months of October, November, and
December, 1178, and this item would suggest a visit to the royal
forest of Lancaster about the end of the year for the purposes of
sport.
The remainder of the Roll merely consists of a re-statement of
the debts brought over from the previous year, and records the
payment of £50 in reduction of the debt of Gilbert, son of
Waltheof.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 26 HENRY II. (MICH. 1179-MICH. 1180).
No new details occur in the account of the ferm of the Honor
this year.
" Nova placita et Nov>e conventiones." — This was the usual
heading under which the penalties levied by the Justices, during
their visit to the county, were recorded in the Pipe Roll.
"De Oblatis Curiae" was the heading under which were
recorded the Oblata and Fines proffered to, and accepted by
the Curia Regis, sitting at Westminster or following thp King,
as he travelled from place to place. The three entries in the
roll clearly belong to the latter heading.
ROLL OF 26 HENRY II. (1179-1180). 43
In September, 1179, when King Henry wa3 at Winchester, he
granted to the men of Preston a charter of the same liberties that
had been recently granted to the men of Newcastle-under-Lyme.
It seems probable that the inhabitants of Preston had taken the
opportunity afforded by the King's visit to the forest of Lancaster
the previous year, to solicit the royal charter which should consti-
tute the town a free borough, and that they had proffered to the
Curia Regis the sum of 100 marks for the royal favour. The
present roll records the payment to the Treasury of the first
instalment of 25 marks. Hitherto the town had annually con-
tributed the sum of £9 to the ferm of the Honor ; an increment
of £6 had been offered, or demanded, as part of the consideration
for the charter of liberties, which sum was duly accounted for in
the present and subsequent rolls as a permanent augmentation of
the ferm of the Honor.
In the year 1176, Richard, son of Roger, had paid 5 marks in
order to obtain from the Curia Regis the privilege of an inquest
respecting the seizure of Kirkby, in the Hundred of West Derby,
which had been taken into the King's hands, because he had
married his daughter and heir without the royal licence. This
no doubt refers to the marriage of his eldest daughter Matilda
to Robert de Stockport, ancestor of the Barons of Stockport.
As a result of the enquiry, the Justices inflicted the heavy fine
of £100, and the said Richard, finding sureties for payment,
recovered possession, paying during the year a first instalment
of £13 6s. Sd.
The records relating to Lancashire for the first century after
the Norman Invasion are extremely meagre, and the history of
the territorial families of that period is correspondingly incomplete
and conjectural. This applies to the ancestry of Richard, son of
Roger, for whom I am inclined to attribute a Scandinavian origin,
as the descendant of one of the Norse invaders, who descended upon
the coast of Lancashire in the tenth century.
Raghanald probably flourished as Thane of Lytham, Bootle,
Linacre, and Woodplumpton about the time of the Norman
Invasion ; his son Ravanchil, or Ravenkil, witnessed Count
Roger of Poictou's grant of the church of Lancaster to St.
Martin of S(Sez in A.D. 1094: Roger, son of Ravenkil, gave
one carucate of land in Linacre to the brethren of the Hospital
of St. John of Jerusalem, and his name occurs in records of the
period 1130-1157; his son Richard, son of Roger, the founder of

These estates descended to his five daughters: Matilda, the
wife of Robert de Stockport; Amice, the wife of Thomas de
Beetham; Quenild, the wife of Roger Gernet; Margaret, the wife of
Hugh de Moreton ; and Avice, the wife of William de Milium.
Upon the death of Quenild in 36 Henry III. without issue, her
estates were partitioned between the heirs of the two first named.2
The knights and other dwellers in the forests of Lancaster paid
a composition of £76 3s. 8d.s in order that the holding of pleas of
the forest might be respited.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 27 HENRY II. (MICH. 1180-MICH. 1181).
The entries in this roll relating to Lancashire are mere matters
of routine, and a re-statement of debts owing from the previous
year, with the exception of the last item.
Richard, son of Waltheof, owes £5 for a writ of right against
his men, who were making themselves freemen, when they were,
as he claimed, his nativi or villeins. Perhaps his villeins were
endeavouring to take action at law or to obtain some legal decision,
which would imply that they were free men.1
1 A villein might be enfranchised by the grant from his lord of a deed of manu-
mission, by manumission obtained through the intervention of the Church, by
escaping to a free borough and dweUing there for the space of a year and a day ;
or by implied manumission, as where his lord gave him an estate in fee, for life or
years, or brought an action against him ; in fact, by dealing with his villein on the
same footing as if he were free, whereby the law presumed that the lord intended
to set his villein free.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 28 HENRY II. (MICH. 1181-M1CH. 1182).
In this Roll, after the simple heading " Lancastra," the clerk
of the Exchequer, as if to explain the omission to include the
county under Northumberland, has added, " because there was
not place for it in Northumberland."
In the twenty-fifth year of his reign, Henry II., at a great
council held at Windsor, divided the Kingdom into four circuits,
and appointed Justices to hold pleas in each division. The most
northern consisted of " Notinghamsire, Derebesire, Euerwicsire,
Northumberlande, Westmerilande, Cumberlande, Inter Rible et
Meresee " and " Loncastre." So far as the present County of
Lancaster was concerned, the nomenclature and divisions of the
Domesday Survey were still in use. Roger of Poictou is said to
have been styled " Comte de Lancastre," but the Honor of Count
Roger lay in several different counties, hence the objection to
describing the northern part of the Honor (beyond the Lyme),
by the title of " Comt£ de Lancastre," or " Comitatus Lancastrian"
The convenience, however, of classifying this part of the country
as a county or shire, in administrative matters affecting that area,
began to be recognised at this time ; " Lancastra " ceases to
appear in the Pipe Rolls under Northumberland or Yorkshire, and
begins to assumes its position as one of the counties of England.
This year the Sheriff claimed allowance for several small
payments made by authority of the King's writ, viz. — 255. lrf. to
Warin, the Hunter ; 50s. Id. to James ; 26s. 3±d. to Gibbe, and
7s. 2d. to Peter, son of Bernard, for their respective wages. These
payments were probably connected with the King's journey to
the north of England in August, 1181, when he accompanied the
King of Scots as far as Richmond.
In crediting Richard, son of Roger, with the payments made in
liquidation of his Fine the previous year, the Sheriff made an error
by stating the balance at 4rf. too much. This year he made
another miscalculation, in deducting 4s. more than the actual
48 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
payment. In neither case does the error appear to have been
afterwards corrected.
Kichard de Molyneux paid 20s. for licence to make concord
with the men of Singleton, concerning a certain new assize.
Singleton was one of the royal estates, and I suppose the King's
Jumines, resisting some new exaction, had appealed to the Curia
Regis, with the result that Richard Molyneux thought fit to make
terms with them.
Agnes Bonetable owed 3 marks for a recognition of her right
in half a knight's fee in Appleton, held of the barony of Widnes,
which acknowledgment she had obtained in the Curia Regis,
possibly against John, Constable of Chester. An entry in the
Pipe Roll of 1 John, throws a little light upon this entry ; but it
can only be surmised that Agnes Bonetable was the daughter and
heir of one of the military tenants of this fief, and had been in
ward to John, Constable of Chester. Poverty appears to have
prevented her paying the 3 (sometimes stated to be 4) marks,
which had been proffered in the Curia Regis for the acknowledg-
ment of her right. Before King John's accession to the throne
she had become the wife of Richard de Venables, who may
have been a younger brother of Sir William de Venables, Baron
of Kinderton. At any rate, in 1 John, Richard de Venables
and Agnes, his wife, gave 20s. for a recognition of mort d' ancestor
against Roger, Constable of Chester, concerning this half knight's
fee in Appleton, with the appurtenances. Thirty or forty years
later Roger de Venables granted by charter to John de Lacy
all his right and title in Appleton, Cronton, and Upton. At the
time of the Feodary, recorded in the Testa de Nevill, circa 1242,
this half fee was held in demesne by Edmund de Lacy, then in his
minority.
Adam, Dean of Kirkham1 in Amounderness, had offered 40
marks for the wardship of his nephew, with half a carucate of
land, and the marriage of the mother. The locality of the land
is unfortunately omitted.
1 In the Fine Roll, 7 John, it is recorded that William, son of Richard, gnve
1 mark for a precipe quod reddat, against Adam the dean, who had the custody
of the land and the wardship of the said William.

There is nothing new in the account of the ferm of the Honor
this year. The statement of old debts remaining due is repeated
year by year, and requires no further comment.
" De Oblatis Curle." — The entries under this heading are also
matters of repetition.
"Nova piacita et Nov^e conventiones." — During the year
1183, Thomas fitz Bernard had been in Eyre in the county,
probably accompanied by Alan de Furnellis and Robert de Wite-
feld. They not only dealt with forest matters, but also with
matters of ordinary assize.
The county had neglected to make presentation concerning
trespasses and other offences against the Forest, for concealment of
which the Justices had imposed fines amounting to 30 marks.

was fined 20*.
Waltheof, the priest, answers for a debt of 4 marks owing by
Ralph, son of Gcrvase, who had been killed in the company of
outlaws.
Thomas and Bernard, sons of Philip, for default as suitors or
sureties at the Assizes, were fined 2 marks.
Henry, Dean of Whalley, described in the pedigree of the
Towneley family, as "Henry the younger, successor to Robert,
Dean of Whalley/' was fined 5 marks for refusal to give security
and sureties to the Justices in connection with some pending suit.
He died before the following Michaelmas (1184).
"De oblatis Curle." — Dolfin de Gressingham, a tenant by
serjeanty, tendered 1 mark to have his suit with Adam respited
until the King's return to England. He held some office in the
royal Forest of Lancaster, and desired to be heard before the King
in the Curia Regis. The King returned from France on June 10th,
1184.
The Eyre of the Justices had not been productive of a largo
sum for fines imposed. Sixteen items only amounted to £6 6s. 8d.f
the details of which were contained in a roll which the Justices
delivered to the Treasury, leaving the Sheriff to collect this sum
from a duplicate roll, which was not however, copied into the Pipe
Roll.

"De placitis forests." — Under this heading a balance of
59«. 4d. remained due in fines for concealment of offences against
the forest. The monks of Furness and the brethren of the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, were excused their fines, as also
was Hugh de Morwich, who held an estate in Farleton and Cants-
field under Geoffrey de Valoines, who held by grant from Adam de
Montbegon. This Hugh was an officer of the King's Court, and
occasionally acted as Justiciar. He held the office of Sheriff of
Cumberland, from Easter 1185 to Michaelmas 1186. In addition
to the sum remitted for concealments, he was excused 42s. 8d., the
quota due fiom himself, or his tenants, towards the fine or compo-
sition of £78 3s. M,t accepted by the Justices in 1179-80, for
respite of pleas of the forest. In both cases he produced the royal
writ excusing the fines.
" De oblatis Curl*:." — Gilbert the Bastard was taking action
against Hugh de Winwick for the recovery of his brood mares.
Adam, Dean of Kirkham, had obtained licence to marry his
daughter, who was of the King's donation, to [Henry ?], son of
Norman de Redman, of Yealand.
Clifton had escheated to the King, by reason of the outlawry of
Henry Colt, who had held that land. The issues for the year

NOTES ON THE PirE ROLL OF 31 HENRY II. (MICn. 1184-MICn. 1185).
Ralph fitz Bernard quitted office at Easter 1185, having held
the post of Sheriff since the summer of 1174. He was succeeded
by Gilbert Pipard, who in consequence of his official duties as
Justice itinerant, put his brother Hugh in his place to execute the
office for him.
A burgage in Preston had escheated to the King, and yielded
2s. for the year.
Kirkdale was also temporarily in the King's hands, the issues
realising 2$. for the half year. This estate was a member of the
barony of Penwortham, and had been bestowed by Warin Bussel,
temp. Henry I., upon one Norman, whose son William granted it
to Roger de Kirkdale, who held it at this time. It was no uncom-
mon circumstance for an estate to be taken into the King's hands
by the Sheriff, when the owner was disobedient to the writ of
summons of the Curia Regis, or until he found sureties to answer a
summons of the Court. This would explain the temporary seizure
recorded here. Roger de Kirkdale dying about the 1-2 John, left
by his wife Godith, an only daughter Quenild, afterwards in ward
to King John, who married her to Richard, son of Roger.1 In
addition to Kirkdale, from which place the said Quenild took her
1 Not to be confounded with Richard, son of Koger, of Ljtham, Woodplumpton,
etc., to whom reference has already been made, p. 43.
ROLL OF 31 HENRY II. (1184-1185). 57
name, she held, by royal grant, one carucate of land in Forraby, by
grand serjeanty of conducting the King's Treasury to Blakebrook,
when the Court passed through the Hundreds of West Derby or
Leyland. She had two or three daughters ; one married Jordan do
Thornhill, who held one carucate of land in thanage by the service
of 4s. 8d. yearly ; the others, Emma and Ellen, were parties to a
fine levied at Lancaster, 26 Henry III., concerning two oxgangs
of land in Kirkdale, in which Emma released all her title to
her sister Ellen. In the latter part of the reign of Henry III.,
William, son of William de Walton, was mesne lord of Kirkdale
under Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln.
" Nova placita et Nov/E Conventiones." — Godfrey de Lucy
and his associates, Hugh de Morwich, Robert de Vaux (then
Sheriff of Cumberland), and Hugh Murdach, or some three of them,
had been in Eyre in the Counties of Northumberland, Cumberland,
York, and Lancaster during the year 1185. Under the heading
" New Pleas and New Conventions/' the present roll discloses an
extensive list of cases dealt with by these Justices.
Elias, the clerk of Bolton ; Roger, the Town-crier (?) ; William,
son of Alexander, Lein3ig (Lesing ?) de Farnworth, Ulf de South-
worth, and Robert, son of Levenoth, were amerced, perhaps for
neglect to obey the summons to attend at the Assizes. Jordan,
Dean of Manchester, 5 marks for a wrongful ejectment or disseisin;
Richard de Roby for a default; Alan, son of Outy, 100s. for failing
to produce him for whom he was surety ; Adam de Whalley for
withdrawing from his appeal without the licence of the Justices.
The whole County of Lancaster was amerced £20 for conceal-
ment of Pleas of the Crown, and the Wapentake of Furness
3 marks for the same default.
The town of Preston had been exercising judicial rights not
included within the scope of their charter of liberties, and without
royal warrant. Some luckless being, charged no doubt with the
commission of a serious offence, had been subjected to the ordeal
by water, and had doublless perished in the Ribble.
The Sheriff had collected fines amounting to £11, which he
had delivered into the Treasury, with the roll containing the
details of some twenty-two convictions.
The county again obtained respite from Pleas of the Forest by
a general commutation, for the sum of 50 mark3.
The following persons obtained licence to make concords
respecting pleas of land : — Osbert, son of Robert, concerning two
58 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
oxgangs of land; Richard de Eland and Gilbert de Notton,
Alexander the Merchant, Henry de Heselee, Game] de Morton,
Richard, son of Dolfin, and Robert, son of Ughtred [de Singleton],
Alexander, son of Alexander, paid 100s., and Alexander de
Redivale, 2 marks, to be under safe pledges, i.e., to be secure from
attachment by their bodies or goods, upon finding good sureties.
Ailsy and Gamel de Sline, and their associates, had been mulcted
in the sum of 20s. for the King's hawks, which they had lost.
Roger, son of Ulfiet (Uvieth), fined for licence to return into
Court, i.e., to obtain a new trial.
Richard and Adam de Smeedon paid a fine of 1 mark that tho
fishery in the Mersey, near the pales of Toxteth Park, which they
held at farm, might not be taken from them.
"Dk Oblatis Curle per Ranulphum de Glanvilla." — Roger
le Boteler had proffered 5 marks for a writ to summon Richard
and Robert, the sons of Ughtred, son of Huck, before the Justices
of the Curia Regis, to declare whether they claimed to hold two
carucates of land in Claughton at farm or in fee. A few years
later the same brothers were defending a suit respecting land in
Broughton, in which Theobald Walter was the plaintiff. The elder
brother Richard was ancestor of the family of Singleton, between
whom and the Butlers of Rawcliffe there appears to have been
litigation, extending over a long period, respecting the former's
right to the Manor of Broughton.
William, son of Bernard de Hest, gave 10 marks to have livery
of his father's land in Hest and Caton. He held, temp. John, one
carucate of land in Middleton and half a carucate of land in Hest
in thanage, by grant from the King, by the service of 21s. Ad.
yearly.
Benedict Gernet had been making an agreement concerning
some offence which ought to have been presented before the
Justices of Assize. This was equivalent to the concealment of a
plea of the Crown.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 32 HENRY II. (MICH. 1185-MICH. 1186).
Gilbert Pipard, the recently appointed Sheriff, was still
represented in office by his brother Hugh, who answers for the
ROLL OF 32 HENRY II. (1185-1186). 61
balance of 100*. remaining due for the previous year's ferm of the
manors of the Honor of Lancaster.
He also answers for 55s. 7d., the issues of land which belonged
to Roger, son of Ranulph de Gameleston, of Gameleston and
Maresey, co. Notts., recently deceased, whose son and heir, Ranulph
de Maresey, was in ward to the King. The land consisted of four
carucates in the townships of Little Bolton, Breightmet, Radcliffe,
and Urmeston, which he hela temp. John, in capite, by the service
of 10s. yearly and one judge. His father during his lifetime had
founded the Priory of Mattersey or Marsey, co. Notts. (Monasticon,
Vol. VI. p. 965.)
The arrears of fines remaining due from the Eyre of Godfrey
de Lucy and his associates are fully set out, payments made and
allowances to the brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem
being duly recorded.
"De oblatis Curle." — William de Furness paid 20 marks
for livery of his father's land, as I suppose. He was son and heir
of Michael le Fleming de Furness, who held twenty and a half
carucates of land in Furness.
"Nova placita de foresta." — Nigel fitz Alexander and
Ernise de Nevill had been in Eyre during the year, and had
held Pleas of the Forest in several counties, including Lancashire.
The regard of the Forest was again respited, the county offering
the sum of 50 marks in lieu thereof.
Ralph fitz Bernard, the late Sheriff, renders an account of
£8 for the ferm of Caton, which had been in the King's hands for
eight years, during the minority of William, son of Bernard de
Hest, who had paid 10 marks the previous year for livery of this
land. The Sheriff produces the King's writ discharging him from
liability for this sum, because — as I understand it — he had already
accounted for it in the Dorset Pipe Roll.
The Sheriff had collected the fines arising from five convictions
against the Forest, of which details are given : — Warin the Fal-
coner for keeping dogs in the forest, contrary to assize, i.e., which
had not been expedited in accordance with the Assize of Wood-
stock1 ; Harold of Lancaster for vaccaries or cow sheds for the
1 Only certain breeds of dogs, such as mastiffs, were permitted to be kept
within the precincts of the forests, and these were to be used only for the protection
of houses, goods, or live stock. According to the Assize of Woodstock, temp.
Henry II., aU such dogs were to be la wed, expedited or hambled, i.e., rendered
lame by the mutilation of cutting off the claws of the fore-feet.
62 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
cattle pasturing in the forest ; Payn de Newton1 and William,
son of Godfrey the Smith, for offences against the vert ; Guillot,
the Prior of Lancaster's bailiff, for failing to produce some one
before the Justices for whom he was surety.
The Prior of Lancaster rendered account of his own fine of
405. for some default made before the Justices, either in person or
by some one for whom he had become surety.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 33 HENRY II. (MICH. 1186-MICH. 1187).
The office of Sheriff was executed this year, by Gilbert Pipard's
brother Peter, as his deputy.
At Easter, 1187, King Henry granted fifty-eight solidates of
land out of his royal demesne in Wellingore, in the parts of
Kesteven, co. Lincoln, to one Victor.
The estates of Roger, son of Ranulph de Maresey, whose heir

was in ward to the King, yielded an additional sum of 10s. from
the previous year, and 44s. 4d. for the current year, exclusive of
the land which had been assigned to the widow for her dower.
Nova placita et Nov^e Conventiones. — Arnise de Nevill,
William le Vavassour, Roger de Hovenden (Hoveden), and Geoffrey
de Haye, had been in Eyre in the county this year, and had held
Forest Pleas. An assessment of 100 marks had been levied upon
the inhabitants of the Forests of Lancaster for respite from the
Forest Regard. The brethren of the Hospital of St John of
Jerusalem were excused their quota, by the King's writ.
Fines amounting to £29 lis. 8d. had been imposed upon
various townships and individuals, but the details were only
entered in the roll which the Justices delivered to the Treasury.
The Sheriff having already collected these fines, had paid them to
the Treasury in 18 tallies, and only entered in the Pipe Roll details
of the following fines, which had not been paid in full.
Stephen de Walton answered for 40s., the fine imposed upon
him for a " lodge " erected within the precincts of the Forest.
William de Craven, Benedict de Pennington, of Bolton in
Furne8S, Adam de Blakeburn, Richard de Harwood, and Robert,
Archdeacon of Chester, owed sundry fines for default ; Henry de
Bilsborough and Adam son of Ethulf, for destruction of their
neighbours' corn crops by the trespass of their cattle ; Daniel de
Euxton, Com . . ,'s son, of the same place, and William de
Kearsley, for failing to produce before the Justices those for whom
they were sureties ; Arnald of Preston for an amerciament.
De oblatis Curle. — Simon, son of Huckman, of Cartmel, had
proffered 10 marks for livery of the land, and appointment to the
office held by his father, probably that of bailiff. They both
witnessed the grant of one of the moieties of Newby, made to the
monks of Furnes3 by Robert de Boisvill and Margaret his wife.
Thomas de Golborne paid 33s. 4d. for his relief of the third
part of one knight's fee, which his father Augustine held of the
Fee of Makerfield, in Golborne, being at the usual rate of 100s.
the knight's fee.
An estate late belonging to Hamon de Mascy, of Dunham
Mascy, had been temporarily in the King's hands; the issues
amounted to 8s. The Sheriff may have been directed to take the
land into the King's hands, until the King's rights had been
ascertained by inquest and until the heir, if of full age, had done
homage and fealty and given pledges for the payment of his relief.

De Scutagto Militum ejusdem Honoris. — On the death of
Gilbert, son of Fergus, Lord of Galloway, on the 1st January, 1185,
his nephew Eoland, son of Ughtred son of Fergus, had seized
upon Galloway, to the disinheritance of Duncan, son and heir of
Gilbert, the said Duncan being in ward to King Henry II. During
the summer of 1186, the " Scutage of Galwey " was put in charge,
and King Henry moved northward to Carlisle, accompanied by
William of Scotland and David his brother, to head the expedition
against the intruder. The expedition however, ended at Carlisle
upon the receipt from Roland of satisfactory promises of submission
to the King's judgment. Nevertheless, the Scutage, at the rate of
£1 upon each knight's fee, was put in course of collection from all
those who had not performed military service by accompanying
the King in this expedition.
The Sheriff of Lancaster returned sixty-eight knights' fees and
the twentieth part of a fee, as all that he was able to find, as held
of the Honor of Lancaster. Feudatories holding nineteen fees,
one-sixth part, and one-fourteenth part of a fee, were excused
their quota by royal writ, as they hud provided esquires to serve
in the place of the knights reseant in their fees.
Eoger de Montbegon was excused his quota from six knights'
fees, which he held of the Honor of Lancaster extra Comitatum de
Lancastra, Le. in Lincolnshire.
Eanulph Glanvill was also excused his quota from one knight's
fee, which he held in Thorpe Bussel, co. Suffolk.
Roger Esturmy held three knights' fees in Iken and Buxhall,
lying near the river Ore, a few miles from Oreford, co. Suffolk.
King Henry had taken into his own hands the fishery which lay
beneath his Castle of Oreford, which formed part of Esturmy's fee,
and in compensation now remitted by writ the scutage of one
knight's fee.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 34 HENRY II. (MICH. 1187-MICH. 1188).
The Sheriff had still to account for the balance of £24 remaining
due for the ferm of the previous year. He does so by claiming
allowance for the ferm of land in Cartmel for a period of one
70 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
year and nine months, which King Henry had recently granted
to William Marshall. It is not quite clear whether the original
grant was of fourteen librates, dating from Christmas, 1185 (on
which basis the ferm for one year and nine months would amount
to £24 105.), or of thirty-two librates, dating from Christmas, 1186
(in which case the ferm for nine months would amount to £24),
the statements in the Eoll being somewhat contradictory. In the
account of the current year, the Sheriff claimed allowance for
thirty-two librates, and in one or two subsequent years for thirty-
three librates, the difference between the two sums being pro-
bably a matter of adjustment between the Sheriff and the Treasury.
It is however quite clear that the grant ultimately consisted of
thirty-two librates.
Cartmel contained nine carucates of land, probably held in
bondage. The large contribution to the ferm of the Honor,
suggests carucates of considerable acreage, and receipts from other
sources, such as mills, fisheries, etc.
In the year 1189, William Marshall espoused Isabel, daughter
and heir of Richard de Clare, by which marriage he acquired the
Earldom of Pembroke. Between September, 1189, and Easter,
1194,1 he founded at Cartmel a priory of Canons Eegular of St.
Augustine, having induced some of the monks of that Order to
transfer themselves to that new foundation, from the priory
founded in 1142, by William de Evreux, Lord of Salisbury, at
Bradenstoke, in Wiltshire.
The Sheriff still owed 30$. on account of the " Scutage of
Galwey," towards which he received 10s. collected by, or due from,
Theobald Walter. He also accounted for 20s. received from
Robert Bertram for the scutage of one knight's fee in Frettenham,
co. Norfolk, which had not been included in his account of the
collection of the scutage the previous year.
Nova placita et NoViE Conventiones. — The Eyre of the
1 Tanner attributes this foundation to the year 1188, apparently upon the
strength of a Fine levied at Weetminster, on the octave of St. Hillary, 9 John,
between William, Prior of Cartmel, and Ralph de Beetham, respecting tho common
fishery in the river Kent, which Fine he erroneously attributes to the 1 Richard I.
The charter of foundation, however, declares that William Marshall made the
grant of Cartmel in frankalmoign, and for the health of the souls [inter alia] of
King Richard and his, the founder's, wife Isabel, whom he married in the year
1189, shortly before Richard's coronation, which took place on the 3rd September,
1189. It is therefore probable that the foundation was made after September, 1189,
and before Johr, Count of Mortain, the King's brother (who confirmed William
Marshall's grant), lost his Lancashire fief.

Justices, in the year 1187, appears to have been continued after
Michaelmas by Godfrey de Lucy, Josceline, Archdeacon of Ciren-
cester, and William le Vavasour. Fines for the concealment of
Pleas of the Crown had been imposed upon the whole county as
follows : — Lonsdale wapentake, 3 marks ; Furness wap., 2 marks ;
Leyland wap., 4 marks, less 4s. 4d., excused to the brethren of the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem ; West Derby wap., 20s. ; and
Blackburn wap., 4 marks.
William, son of Michael [le Fleming of Furness], gave 20s. for
licence to concord, and also owed half a mark for having with-
drawn from his appeal. Robert de Stockport, Lord of Macclesfield,
owed half a mark for having withdrawn himself as surety for some
one. Eleven others owed various sums for fines imposed by the
Justices, but, with the exception of Robert, son of Ughtred de
Singleton, Orm, son of Dolfin, who held lands in Orgreave, in
Furness, and William, son of Rosceline, lord of Ribchester, under
Robert de Lacy, who also held a knight's fee in Hainford, co.
Norfolk, of the Honor of Lancaster, of the fee of William Blundel,
I have not been able to identify the others. Humphrey, son of
Warin, had incurred the fine of 60s. for recreancy, probably in
absenting himself upon the occasion of a wager by battla
In connection with the same Eyre, the Sheriff had paid into the
Treasury, in thirty-six tallies, the sum of £14 6s. 8d., which he
had collected from those who had already paid in full the fines
imposed upon them by the Justices. The Roll supplies no details
of their names nor the cause of their respective fines.
Henry, son of Norman de Redman, a military tenant of de
Lancaster, in Yealand, co. Lane, and elsewhere in co. Westmor-
land, proffered 1 mark in order that the Fine levied between
himself and Ketel, son of Ughtred, concerning the territory of
Levens in Westmorland, should be inscribed upon the Roll of the
Curia Regis. By this agreement Ketel granted to the said Henry
and his heirs the whole of the Manor of Levens, one moiety to be
held by the said Henry in his demesne, the other to be held by
Ketel of the said Henry by an equivalent service to that which
Henry rendered to the chief lord for the same. Levens was parcel
of the Barony of Kendal, and from that day to the present time
has continued in two moieties, called, respectively, Over and Nether
Levens.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 35 HENRY II. (MICH. 1188-MICH. 1189).
On Thursday, July 6th, 1189, King Henry died at Chinon, in
the province of Touraine.
Immediately after his accession, King Richard granted to his
brother John, Count of Mortain, the castles and Honors of Marl-
borough, Lancaster, including the whole county, Ludgershall, the
Peak, and Bolsover ; the town and Honor of Nottingham, and
the Honors of Wallingford and Tickhill without the castles ;
the Counties of Derby, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, and Cornwall.
(Hoveden, III. pref. p. xxv.) Besides this princely estate, John
had previously received the great Gloucester inheritance with
his wife Isabel, daughter and heiress of William, Earl of
Gloucester.
Gilbert Pipard, in rendering his account, answers for nine
months of the year only, claiming allowance for £50 of the
ferm of the Honor for the fourth part of the year, the period
during which the Honor had been in the hands of Count John,
and after that he claims allowance for the whole. After allowing
for the various grants, which had at this time reduced the net
ferm of the Honor to the sum of £120 6s., and after taking credit
for the payment of £40 13s. to the Treasury, a balance of £29 13s.
still remained due from the Sheriff, who, however, explained that
this sum was to be claimed from Stephen Ridel, who had taken it
in the presence of the Chancellor and Treasurer and other Barons
7-t THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
of the Exchequer, on Count John's behalf, who had received that
sum.
The remainder of the Roll consists of the recapitulation of
debts still due on account of the Eyre of Godfrey de Lucy and
his associates. These debts all re-appear five years later, after
King Richard had resumed possession of the Honor of Lancaster,
about Easter, 1194.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 2 RICHARD I.
(MICH. 1189-MICH. 1190).
By a Charter dated at York, the 15th of April, in the first year
of his reign (1190), King Richard granted and confirmed to Gilbert,
son of Roger fitz Reinfred, the whole Forest of Westmorland, of
Kendal and of Furness, to hold in fee, together with six librates
of land in Kendal, as freely as William de Lancaster I., son of
Gilbert, and Nigel de Albini had held the same; further con-
ceding that what was waste in the woods of Westmorland and
Kendal, in the time of the said William de Lancaster I., should
still continue waste, excepting the purpresture made by the licence
and consent of the Lords of the fief of Westmorland and Kendal,
under whom the said Gilbert had hitherto held his estates. By
two other Charters, of about the same date, King Richard further

granted that the Noutgeld or Cornage payment of £14 6s. 4d.
per annum, which Gilbert and his predecessors had long paid in
commutation of the original render in cattle, should be converted
into the service of one knight ; that the customary suit of Shire,
Wapentake or Tithing and tallage of Sheriff or Bailiff, should be
wholly remitted ; and that the said Gilbert's estate in Levens,
Farleton, Beethain, Preston-Eichard, Holme, Burton, Hincaster,
Preston-Patrick and Lupton, and the fishery appurtenant to those
lands, should likewise be held by the service of one knight, in lieu
of Cornage and other customary services rendered for the same.
In the year 1166, William de Lancaster I. is returned as
holding two knights' fees " de novo feoffamento " under Roger de
Mowbray, son and successor of Nigel de Albini. These two fees
were the Lordship or reputed Barony of Kendal, which, although
returned as held in capite, was as a matter of fact a member of the
Barony of Westmorland, at that time the possession of Hugh de
Morvill. There is some uncertainty as to whether this Barony
continued in the Crown after de Morvill's forfeiture in 1171, or
was re-granted to Theobald de Valoines, whose daughter Berta
was the wife of Banulph de Glanvill, the Justiciar. It was,
however, in the King's hands immediately after the accession of
Eichard I., and that sovereign, in consideration of Gilbert fitz
Eeinfred's proffer of 200 marks and £100, separated Kendal from
that Barony, converted the former into a fee held directly of
the Crown, and granted remission of the Noutgeld or Cornage
service.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 6 RICHARD I.
(EASTER 1194-MICH. 1194).
From the death of Henry II., in July, 1189, until Easter, 1194,
the Honor and County of Lancaster were in the possession of
John, Count of Mortain. He made by charter during that period
numerous grants of land, which he confirmed after his accession
to the throne.
The history of this period so closely affects the Honor of
Lancaster, that a brief notice of some of the events which happened
during the years 1189-1194, may not be considered altogether out
of place.
Richard arrived in England in August, 1189; his coronation
took place on the 3rd September, and on the 11th December he
departed for Palestine to take part in the Crusade against Saladin,
leaving William Longchamp, in the office of Chancellor, to con-
duct the affairs of the kingdom. Before his departure, the King
released his brother John from the oath by which he had under-
taken to absent himself from the kingdom for three years, trust-
ing to Queen Eleanor to keep him under control. John, however,
at once set himself to defeat the pretensions of Arthur of Brittany,
who had been recognised as heir to the crown, and set about
securing the succession to himself, in case of accident to Eichard.
In the attainment of this object he received a good deal of
sympathy from the barons ; but owing to the energetic action of
Longchamp and the influence of Eleanor, his intrigues were frus-
trated until the news arrived in February, 1193, that Eichard had
been captured while passing through Austria on his way home.
Upon the deposition of Longchamp in October, 1191, the
conduct of affairs had been placed in the hands of the Justiciar,
Walter of Coutances, Archbishop of Eouen, who, in spite of the
rebellion of John, was endeavouring, during the spring of 1193,
to raise the sum of 150,000 marks, which had been demanded for
the King's ransom. Before, however, this sum had been raised, by
the various means of a scutage of 205. on the knight's fee, a tallage,
hidage and carucage, and the exaction of one-fourth of the revenue

or goods of every person in the realm, he resigned office, and
was succeeded at Christmas, 1193, by Hubert Walter, Archbishop
of Canterbury, brother of Theobald Walter, afterwards Sheriff of
Lancaster. As nephews and pupils of Ranulf Glanvill, a former
Justiciar, both had been constant attendants at the Court of
Henry II. during the latter years of his reign. On the failure of
the Crusade, Hubert Walter had led back the English army ; he
had visited the King during his captivity, and had been sent home
by him to raise the ransom and to be made Archbishop. His
appointment as Justiciar was almost immediately followed by a
complete victory over John, and during February and March,
1194, he was engaged in the reduction of John's castles. Many of
John's Lancashire dependents had taken part in the rebellion, and
had gathered at Kendal in support of their chief lord. They pro-
bably surrendered themselves to Theobald Walter, upon hearing
of the King's release.
On the 30th March, a great court and council was held at
Nottingham, at which many Sheriffs were removed and appointed
to other magistracies or others appointed in their places. Doubt-
less on this occasion Theobald Walter was appointed Sheriff of
Lancaster. On the following day Eichard demanded from the
Court a sentence of outlawry against his brother John and Hugh
de Novant, Bishop of Chester, who had been John's chief adviser.
The Court decided that they should be summoned, and, in default
of appearance within forty days, John was to be banished and
Hugh put on trial. The King departed for Normandy on the
12th May, and shortly after became reconciled with John, re-
storing to him the County of Mortain, the Earldom of Gloucester,
and the Honor of Eye, and granting him a pension in lieu of his
other estates. The Honor of Lancaster was retained in the King's
hands.
The Pipe Roll for the 6 Richard I. refers principally to the
fifth year of that reign ; but being drawn up at Michaelmas, 1194,
it is entitled the Roll of the 6th year of King Richard.
There are several new items affecting the Corpus Comitatus
this year. The entry relating to the twenty librates of land
in Croxton Keyriall, which Henry II. had granted to Engeran le
Porter1 and Roger de St. Aubin (page 32), has been underlined
1 The following account of this family has been extracted from the register of the
Abbey of Croxton, and printed by Dugdale, in the Mo nasi icon, Vol. VI. p. 877 : —

for cancellation. From an entry in the Roll of the following
year, it appears that this land had been temporarily in Count
John's hands, that two-thirds of it were restored to Hugh le
Porter {Janitor), son of Engeran, by King Richard ; the other third
remaining as an escheat in the King's hands, until some years
later,
By a charter, dated at Winchester on Friday after the King's
second coronation, viz. April 22nd, 5 Richard 1., 1194, the King
granted to Theobald Walter, for his homage and service, the
whole of Amoundernes8, to hold in capita, by the service of
three knights' fees. The following are the details of the grant: —
The town of Preston, with the whole demesne appurtenant thereto,
the whole of the demesne lands in Amounderness, and the service
of the knights holding fees by knight's service, together with
the service of all the free tenants there; the Wapentake with
all pleas, and the Forest of Amounderness with venison and all
pleas of the Forest; pleas of the Crown only excepted. The
Charter was witnessed by Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury,
the grantee's brother; Hugh, Bishop of Durham; Gilbert, Bishop
of Rochester ; Ranulph, Earl of Chester ; Earl Roger Bigod ; Earl
David1 ; William of the church of St. Mary, Archdeacon of Wilt-
shire ; William Marshall, Geoffrey fitz Peter, Hugh Bardolf, Geoffrey
de Say, Robert de Tregoz, William Poole, and Robert de Quinci.
By this grant all the revenues of the crown from Amounderness,
Corsham and Culington. He had two sons, William and Hugh . . . When
the towns of Croxton and Segbroke were in the hands of King Henry II., he was
pleased to make an exchange of them with Wdliam le Porter for Corsham and
Cunington, and so the >aid William held the said towns all his life. After his
death, his brother Hugh le Porter succeeded, and entered into seisin of Croxton
and Segbroke ; but the Earl of Gloucester (John, Count of Mortain), who had the
Honor of Eje at that time, prevented his seisin of Segbroke. Afterwards, when
King Richard was in captivity in Germany, Count John his brother, stirring up
war in England, more particularly at Notingham, gave Croxton to Hubert de
Burgh, his chamberlain. Six months later, however, the said Hugh ie Porter, being
in Normandy, King Richard returned to England and the said Hugh with him,
whereupon all Count John's associates were driven forth (dispersi) and Hugh le
Porter long time after possessed in peace the lordship of the town of Croxton."
The same authority states that Masilia de Apegard, who held the remaining
third part of Corsham and Culington, iu the same way exchanged her portion with
Henry II. for one- third of Croxton and Segebroks. She was succeeded by her
daughter Sorozina, from whom, or through whom, it passed to Roger de St. Aubin.
The chronicler has erroneously described Croiton as held of the Honor of Eye.
It was clearly parcel of the Honor of Lancaster.

excepting pleas of the crown, were given to Theobald Walter, and
in the present Eoll we should consequently have expected to find
him, in his capacity of Sheriff, claiming allowance of a sum
equivalent to the loss of ferm consequent upon that grant.
As already stated elsewhere (page 6), the Sheriff, as farmer of
the issues of the Honor, undertook to pay annually to the Ex-
chequer the sum of £200 numero, subject to the deduction of
such moneys as he had paid away in compliance with the King's
or Viceroy's writs, or in consideration of the King having granted
lands out of the royal estate, which consequently no longer con-
tributed their quota to the revenue of the Honor. The King's
grant to Theobald Walter would include the following items of
revenue, partly ascertained and partly estimated : —
£
The ferm of the town of Preston, included in the
Corpus Comitatus ... ... ... ... 9
The increment accounted for separately since the
grant of the Charter of Liberties ... ... 6
The service of the free tenants of Amounderness
(estimated) ... ... ... ... ... 10
The issues of the demesne lands of Amounderness
(estimated to arise from nine carucates of land) 9
The Forest of Wyresdale with fifteen vaccaries
(estimated) ... ... ... ... ... 15
Perquisites of the County within the Wapentake,
JZioOllCtlLo, "LO. ... ... ... ... ... X
Total £50
But as a matter of fact, no reduction of ferm was claimed by
Theobald Walter on account of this grant, during the whole period
of his tenure of office ; an omission very difficult to explain. He
did, however, claim allowance for loss of revenue on account of
the deficiency of live stock in the demesne lands of the County,
a deficiency probably the result of drafts made by Count John,,
before the recent rebellion, with the object of preparing hia
castles for the exigencies of a siege. The details of the claim
are as follows : —
£
By the deficiency of fifteen plough teams, necessary
to till as many carucates of the royal estate ... 15

This remission of ferm was continued for two years, until at
the making up of the accounts at Michaelmas, 1196, the Pipe
Roll shows that the sum of £97 had been allocated that year
for the purchase of stock and some implements, with which to
re-habilitate the demesne lands. But the money was never laid
out, and after King John's accession, and Theobald's subsequent
removal from office, the latter was compelled to re-fund this sum.
It is difficult to offer any satisfactory explanation of the
omission to claim allowance for this grant. No doubt the Trea-
sury had been exhausted by the necessity of providing the
enormous sum demanded for the King's ransom. During the
spring of 1194, the King made great efforts to raise revenue.
He removed many Sheriffs, and sold their offices to the highest
bidders for considerable sums of money ; it is therefore quite
possible that Theobald's appointment to the Magistracy of
Lancaster was conditional upon his claiming no remission of
ferm on account of the King's grant. This would make it
appear as if the King had taken away with one hand what he
had given with the other ; nevertheless, Theobald's dealings with
the Exchequer, relative to the deficiency, or supposed deficiency of
stock, and his treatment of certain of the free tenants of Amoun-
derness, as disclosed by certain contemporary records, by no means
diminishes the probability of the suggested explanation.
King Richard had granted thirteen librates of land in
Navenby to Robert le Rous about Easter, 1194. The Sheriff
had not yet received the King's writ discharging him from
liability on account of the loss of the half year's revenue from
this source ; he therefore treats it as a debt due from him, and
adds a note, to the effect that he claims credit for the sum in
Navenby, which Robert le Rous has by the King's grant.

Adam de Kellet's fine was 20 marks. He held one carucate of
land in Middleton and three carucates in Kellet, with the office of
Serjeant of the Wapentake of Lonsdale.
Henry de Eedman's fine was 120 marks. He held land in
Yealand, and also a considerable estate in Westmorland, under the
Barony of Kendal.
Benedict Gernet's fine of £20 had been proffered for the King's
confirmation of his office of Forester in fee of the Forest of Lancaster.
He held twenty carucates of land with his office.
Adam, son of Osbert's, fine was 10 marks. I have not identified
his estate.
Gilbert de Croft's fine was 10 marks. He held twro carucates
in Dal ton in capite, in thanage.
Richard de Molyneux held half a knight's fee in Sephton. His
fine was 100s.
Henry Falconer was a tenant by knight's service of Hugh
Bussel's fee in Broughton, co. Leicester. His tine was 15 marks.
Robert, the clerk of Walton, no doubt held the estate belong-
ing to the Church of St. Mary of Walton. His fine was 30 marks.
Walter de Paries held one carucate in Pulton in frank marriage
with Matilda, daughter of Hugh, son of Esward and Godith, his
wife.
William le Boteler of Warrington had apparently been impli-
cated in John's rebellion. He held ei»ht knights' fees of the
Honor of Lancaster. His fine of 30 marks seems somewhat light
compared with others.
Roger de Middleton held one knight's fee in Middleton, of the
Montbegon fee in Sal ford Hundred. He also held one carucate of
land in Chetham in capite, in thanage. His fine of 5 marks had
been proffered for seisin of his land from which he had been ejected.
Alan, son of Outi, I cannot identify. His fine was 8 marks.
Robert, son of Henry, Lord of Lathom, held one knight's fee
in Knowsley, Huyton, and Tarbock, of the fee of Widnes; one
knight's fee in Childwall, and one knight's fee in Parbold and
Wrightington, of the Grelley fee. His fine was 20 marks.
Adam de Bury held one knight's fee in Bury, of the Montbegon
fee. His fine was 5 murks.
William de Radcliffe held twelve oxgang3 of land in Edgeworth
and Heaton in the Forest, in capite, in thanage. His fine was
5 marks.
Richard de Uimston held one carucate in Urmston of Ranulf

de Gamelston, who was in ward to the King at this time. Ranulf
held in capite, in thanage, consequently at this date Richard de
Urmston was answerable to the King for his own good behaviour.
His fine was 40s.
Robert de Prestwich held four oxgangs in Alkrington, of the
Montbegon fee, by the service of 4*. ; and ten oxgaugs in Prestwich
and Fails worth, in capite \ in thanage. His fine was 4 marks.
Jordan, Dean of Manchester, owed £20 for complicity in the
rebellion of Count John.
The next entry has nothing to do with the rebellion. Albert
Bussel, Lord of Penwortham, had died recently, and Hugh Bussel,
his eldest son and heir, had fined with Count John for his relief.
He held five knights' fees of the Houor of Lancaster : three for the
Barony of Penwortham within the county, one fee in Broughton
in Leicestershire, and one in Thorp Bussel in Suffolk. The usual
relief for five knights' fees was £25 ; he had fined with Count John
for 40 marks.

De Scutagio ad Redkmptionem domini regis. — The Scutage
for King Richard's redemption had probably been put in charge
before Walter, Archbishop of Rouen, resigned office as Justiciar.
The actual collection, however, probably extended over the early
part of the year 1194. The ransom stipulated for was 150,000
marks (£100,000), twice the total revenues of the crown. Two-
thirds of this sum was to be paid before the King was liberated.
The King was released in March, and the final payment of 10,000
marks was made before the end of April.
The Scutage was at the rate of 20*. the knight's fee, the total
amount to be collected from the knights of the Honor of Lancaster
amounting to £72 6s. 8a\ (seventy-two and one-third knights' fees).
As a matter of fact, the actual amount collected was only £58 6s. Sd. ;
remission of the scutage of twelve knights being granted to Robert
Grelley, whose knights had accompanied the King into Normandy,
whither King Richard went on May 12th, embarking at Ports-
mouth. Henry Falconer and Ranulph de Aubervill had each
obtained remission for one knight, by the King's writ, probably
on the same grounds.
In addition to the Scutage, an Aid or Carucage was levied upon
the King's demesne lands, and upon the Thanes and Drenghs. By
reference to the details of the royal demesne in Lancashire, afforded
by the aid levied in the 23 Henry II. (page 35), it would appear
that the present levy was at the same rate, viz. : 1 mark upon each
'carucate ; due allowance being made for the grants made out of
the royal estate during the intervening peiiod, including the whole
estate extra comitttium, and Amounderness, Caitmel, etc., within
the county.
The Advocate of Beton held half a knight's fee in Boothby,
near Navenby, in Lincolnshire, which King Stephen had given to
his ancestor. This family possessed the hereditary office of Advo-
cate of Artois. In the 1 John, William, Advocate of Beton, fined
for seisin of lands in Counties Oxford and Gloucester, which were
his inheritance; it is therefore probable that Boothby had been
taken into the King's hands upon his father's death, merely until
the said William had fined for livery.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 7 RICHARD I (MICH. 1194-MICH. 1195).
Since Michaelmas, 1194, Benedict Gemet, Chief Forester of
Lancashire, had officiated as Deputy-Sheriff for Theobald Walter.
During the year he had received Archbishop Hubert's writs,
authorising the deduction of £13 6s. Sd. from the ferm of the
Honor, consequent upon the restoration of two-thirds of Croxton
to Hugh le Porter, and of £13 in consideration of the grant of
Navenby to Robert le Rous.
The arrears of fines which had resulted from the Iter of
Godfrey de Lucy in the year 1187 (page 68), are again set out, and
several final payments recorded.
The greater portion of the arrears of fines " pro benevolentia
Regis," brought forward from the last year, are now discharged ;
ROLL OF 7 RICHARD I. (1194-1195). 91
ten individuals paying the whole of the balances due from them
amounting in the whole to £12 lis. 4d.
Nova placita et Nov/E Conventions. — The Iter of Reginald
le Bigod, Ralph, Archdeacon of Hereford, William de Glanvill, and
Ralph de Ardera produced in fines the sum of £27 ISs. 4d. Of
this sum, the knights, i.e. thanes and free tenants of the Honor
had proffered 20 marks for a favourable hearing of their sworn
statement, probably showing cause why they should not be sub-
jected to the Regard of the Forest, to view the purprestures and
assarts which they and their predecessors had made, to escape
which they had heretofore compounded by fine with King Henry II,
and Count John, at irregular intervals.
Jordan, Geoffrey, and Roger, all of Eccleston, had probably been
attached by their bodies or goods to answer some plea before the
Justices. The two first-named had proffered 5 marks each to be
put to legal sureties that they would appear to make answer, and
so in the meantime obtain release from the attachment
Peter, Richard, and Osbert, all of Marsden, had been fined half
a mark each in consequence of the transgression of one Uvieth,
who was of their pledge, i.e. for whose good behaviour they were
sureties, according to the Laws of Frank-pledge, and whom they
had probably been unable to produce before the Justices.
Dk novis pkomissis. — A few more of Count John's Lanca-
shire adherents in the late rebellion had made their peace with the
King, through the medium of the Viceroy, Archbishop Hubert.
Richard, son of Roger, thane of Lytham and Wood-plumpton, paid
a fine of 20 marks ; Robert, son of Bernard, thane of Goosnargh,
ISmarks; William, son of Swain, of Carleton, 100s.; Gerold de
Clayton, a military tenant of the Barony of Penwortham, in
Clayton-le-Dale and Penwortham, 5 marks. In but few instances
do the Lancashire thanes or free tenants appear to have suffered
forfeiture or outlawry, as a result of participation in the late rebel-
lion. The King and his officers no doubt considered it the best
policy to exact what fiscal advantage they could obtain from the
free tenants of Lancashire, whose adherence to their late Lord was
after all in strict conformity with the feudal ties which bound
knights and tenants to their Chief Ix>rd.
Ralph de St. George had proffered 6 marks to the Viceroy for
livery of his estate in Wellingore, co. Lincoln. He held half a
knight's fee and the twelfth part of a fee of the Honor of Lancas-
ter ; his relief was therefore at the usual rate.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 RICHARD I. (MICH. 1195-MICH. 1196).
This year the Sheriff claims allowance only for six months'
loss of ferm, owing to the deficiency of stock upon the royal
demesne lands. He had been authorized to increase the head of
stock to the full complement, and to obtain any implements that
were wanting. Accordingly he accounts for an expenditure during
the year of £97 in that behalf. It does not appear, however, that
the money was actually laid out, for after King Johu's accession,
Theobald was removed from the magistracy, and compelled to
refund the whole amount, as is proved by the following entry in the
roll of the 3 John : — " Teobaldus Walteri reddit compotum de quater
xx. et xvij.li. quas ipse recepit ad instaurandas terras in honore
de Lancastra quando habuit bailliam, sicut annotatur in Rotulo
Regis Ricardi viij°. In thesauro liberavit. Et quietus est."
It is interesting to note that the plough team consisted of
eight oxen, the fifteen carxveaz requiring 120 oxen (15 x 8) to
make the full complement. At the end of the twelfth
1 Derebia R' in 'he Hull. Bui read Percbiscire.
ROLL OF 8 RICHARD I. (1195-1196). 95
century, just as at the time of the making of the Domesday
Survey, the number of plough teams was the measure of the
value and population of each village community, due allowance
being made for the character of the soil and the climate. Unless
the teams could be maintained in number and efficiency, by the
continual substitution of young and vigorous oxen for those worn
out or lost by disease, the prosperity of the village, and the annual
income derived therefrom by the owner, declined or ceased altogether.
At this period the land cultivated by each plough team
produced an annual income of about 20s. The value of an ox
was 4s. A harrow for each carucay or team, cost 4s, Two hundred
and forty cows, or two hundred computing by the long hundred of
120, were required to restock the 15 vaccaries or stock farms
within the forest of Wyresdale. The price of those was 4s. a head,
as also of 15 bulls, required to run each with 16 cows in every
vaccary. Eighty brood mares at 4s. a head, and a " long hundred "
of breeding ewes at 6d. each, completed the list of stock required,
and made up the total sum of £97 ordered to be expended.
Some portion of Roger de Montbegon's estates were at this
time in the King's hands, owing to the prominent part taken by
that noble in support of the rebellion of Count John of Mortain,
and especially in the defence of Nottingham Castle, in the spring
of 1194. William de Albini of Belvoir was farming some
portion of the Hornby demesnes, including certain wood and
pasture lands in Melling, the issues of which for a half year or so
amounted to 40s. This matter will again be referred to in the
ensuing notes.
De Secundo Scutagio.1— The second Scutage of the army in
Normandy had been assessed in the year ending Michaelmas,
1195, but it was collected during the early part of the present
fiscal year. It was assessed upon the same number of knights'
fees in the Honor of Lancaster, as the Scutage for the King's
redemption. Theobald Walter was excused his quota on the three
Amounderness fees, Robert Grelley on his twelve fees, and Roger
Constable of Chester on his five Clitheroe and three and a half
Widnes fees. They had attended personally upon the King in
the expedition to Normandy, together with their knights.
1 The first scutage of the reign was taken in the 1st year of the King's reign, on
the pretence of an expedition to Wales. The scutage a«sessed for the King's
ransom was not properly so called. It was actually an aid or tax, and not a payment
in commutation of military service. .
90 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
De Tertio Scutagio. — Tlie third Scutage of the army in
Normandy was both assessed and collected during the fiscal year
ending at Michaelmas, 1196.
Nova promissa per Hubertum Cantuar. Archiep. — Hugh
Purceil proffers 5 marks for a writ of right to determine between
himself and Edith, Lescelina and Matilda de Barton, who was the
rightful tenant of the fourth part of two knights' fees in Barton
and Worsley. Robert Grelley, of whose fief the said fees were
members, was the said Hugh's pledge for the prosecution of the
plea. An entry in the Testa de Ntvill, Vol. II., fol. 822, and the*
record of a suit depending in the Curia Regis, on the quinzaine
of Easter, 4 John, suggest the following explanation of the above
entry :— That one Matthew had been mesne tenant under Robert
Grelley of two knights' fees in Barton, Worsley and Worthington ;
that Hugh Purceil had married one of the four daughters and
heiresses of the said Matthew, and was at this time seeking to
obtain against the other three co-heiresses, a recognition of his
right in one fourth part of the estate. The Inquisition of 1212,
states that one knight's fee and half a fee in Barton and Worsley,
were held by Gilbert de Notton, with the lady Edith de Barton,
his wife, but there is no mention of the remaining half fee, unless
it is to be identified with the half fee in Worthington, held by
Thomas de Worthington.
Henry de Walton, son of Gilbert, proffers 40s. for confirmation,
— probably after his father's decease,— of the Serjeantry of the
Hundred of West Derby, witli the land in Walton, Wavertree
and Newsham, which his father had held with that office.
William le Boteler of Warrington, paid 12 marks not to
transfret (i.e. pass over sea), in the third expedition to Normandy,
after the King's return from Germany, and for his scutage of six
knights' fees, which he held of the Honor of Lancaster. King
Richard left for Normandy on the 12 th May, 1194, and did not
again set foot in England, during the remainder of his reign.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 9 RICHARD 1. (MICH. 1196-MICII. 1197).
This year Robert Vavasour executed the oih'ce of Sheriff as
Theobald Walter's deputy. He was Theobald's father-in-law, his
daughter Maud being Theobald's wife. Having laid out the
previous year £8 15$. more than the ferm, he claims allowance this
year for an equivalent amount, and further accounts for 10 marks
disbursed in the repair of Lancaster Castle and Gaol, and 100s. laid
out in like manner upon the Castle of West Derbv.

Melling was still in the King's hands ; the issues for the year
amounted to £4.
The remainder of the Roll is practically a recapitulation of
accounts and fines of old standing, and contains no new entries.
Westmorland Roll. — During the year Gilbert fitz Reinfred
had discharged £60 of the sum which he had proffered for trie
King's Charter of liberties (page 74). The terms of the fine are
" for having six librates of land, acquittance from Coinage, and
other liberties according to the tenor of the King's Charter." The
following year the balance of £40 was paid. The details of the
grant are as follow : —
Acquittance from Noutgeld and Customs . .
Lands in Kendal
The Fishery of Kendal ...
Total 28 4 6
The Sheriff deducts this amount from the ferm of Westmorland
from Easter, 1191, to Easter, 1195. At the latter date the land in
Kendal and the Fishery were taken into the King's hands again,
and the Nouigeld treated as if still due from Gilbert. In other
words, the Charter appears to have been cancelled. The matter
will come up for notice in the Roll of 1 John.
Lincolnshire Roll. — Adam de Montbegon probably died
before the accession of Richard I., consequently the item claimed
upon his land and mill in Thorp, was a matter of old account It
will be seen from entries in the Rolls of this and the following
year, that Roger de Montbegon, son and heir of Adam, had
proffered 500 marks in the Curia Regis, at that time travelling
about in Normandy, to be put in seisin of the estates which he had
recently forfeited, as already noticed (page 95). Probably this
offer was accepted about the time of the Michaelmas audit this
year, as it is clear from the account of the ferm of Melling, that
Roger was put in seisin about that time.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 10 RICHARD I.
(MICH. 1197-MIOH. 1198).
This year Nicholas le Boteler officiated as Deputy Sheriff.
Theobald Walter was probably absent in Normandy with the
King. It has not been possible to identify this Nicholas. He
may have been a cadet of the house of Boteler of Warrington, but
more probably of Boteler of Warton in Amounderness, which
latter family there is reason to believe were connected by blood
with the family of Theobald Walter, the Sheriff.
Adam de Lancaster — described in the Koll of the following year
as Adam, Dean of Lancaster — proffers £10 to have custody of the
land, and the wardship and marriage of the heir of Richard, son
of Waldeve. Next year he proffers a further sum of 25 marks
that the first fine might stand good with King John. Perhaps the
land was half a carucate in Poulton-le-Fylde.1
Andrew de Beauchamp proffers 1 mark for the privilege of
enrolment in the Great Roll of the Exchequer, of the agreement
made in the Curia Regis between himself and Peter de Wingham
and William de Bosvill, viz. : — that the said Peter and William for
themselves and their heirs released and quitclaimed to the said
Andrew and to Eva his wife, all their right in the inheritance of
Robert Basset. Andrew de Beauchamp held one knight's fee in
Oxfordshire, of the Honor of Wallingford, and lands in Thenford,
co. Northampton. The above entry does not appear to have any
reference to the Honor of Lancaster (page 113), but was a post-
script added to the Roll after Michaelmas, 1198. An instance of
the postscriptive enrolment of a dated Cambridgeshire document
occurs in the Staffordshire Pipe Roll of the following year, and
shows that although Michaelmas was nominally the term at which
all fiscal payments for the year fell due, the collection and trans-
mission of some such payments, delayed the final balancing of
accounts at the Exchequer until some time after Michaelmas.
1 See Coeheraand Charlulary, p. 189. See also postea, Roll of 7 John. Richard,
son of Waldere, was a witness to Count John of Mori ain's confirmation to Lancaster
Priory, ad. 118U-1194.
104 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Westmorland Roll. — Gilbert Fitz Reinfred had proffered
£100 for confirmation of the King's grant of six librates of land
in Kendal, acquittance from Cornage and other liberties, according
to the tenor of the King's charter. He had paid £50 of this fine
before Michaelmas, 1197 ; a further sum of £10 after Michaelmas,
and the balance during the fiscal year ending Michaelmas, 1198.
As will be seen in the Roll of 1 John, he did not obtain full pos-
session until he had again made fine with King John.
Lincolnshire Roll. — Roger de Montbegon had discharged the
greater part of his fine during the fiscal year, in two payments to
the Treasury amounting to £200, and a third payment to Arch-
bishop Hubert of £106 13s. 4rf., which the latter had employed
upon the King's service in Wales. The archbishop resigned the
justiciary about the end of June, 1198.

108 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 11 RICHARD I. AND 1 JOHN
(MICH. 1198-MICH. 1199).
Nicholas le Boteler as deputy Sheriff, again renders the account
of the ferm of the Honor, but for three-fourths of the year only,
viz., — for the quarter ending at Christinas, 1198, before Stephen
de Turneham, received the charge of the county, and for the
quarters ending respectively at the Nativity of St. John Baptist
(24th June), and Michaelmas, 1199, after the said Stephen had
held office for the Easter quarter.
Kichard I. died in Normandy on the 6th April, 1199. The
coronation of King John took place on the 27th May. It appears
therefore that Theobald had been removed from office by King
Eichard, but was replaced by King John to serve during the last
six months of the fiscal year.
By charter dated at Northampton, on the 7th June, King John
created William Ferrers Earl of Derby, granting to him about the
same time, many large estates, and inter alia the annual sum of
£10, which the Sheriff' of Lancaster was accustomed to receive from
the Sheriff of Nottingham, being a contribution of £5 each from
the towns of Nottingham and Derby to the ferm of the Honor of
Lancaster.1 This sum was part of the third penny of the pleas of
the two shires of Nottingham and Derby, the history of which
carries us back to Saxon times, when each shire was under an
ealdorman, who sat with the Sheriff and Bishop in the Folkmoot,
and received a third part of the King's profits of the Sheriffwick.
The grant of this third penny of the county was frequently the
only estate or interest which connected the earl with the district
from which his title was taken, thus attesting the official character
of the earldom in early times in distinction to a territorial position
such as that of the Knight.2 It is probable that this sum of £10
was an escheat which had fallen to the Crown upon the forfeiture
of the fief of Count Roger the Poitevin in 1102, and that it had
represented part of the Conqueror's assignment of lands and
revenue to Count Eoger in the counties of Nottingham and
Derby, after the conquest of England.
A further outlay of 20 marks had been applied to the repair of

Lancaster Castle, during the nine months of Theobald's adminis-
tration. During Stephen de Turaeham's tenure of office, an
expenditure of £8, authorised by the King's writ, had been made
iu victuals for certain knights and esquires, who had been stationed
in Lancaster Castle, after King Richard's death, to keep a watch
upon the surrounding country ; the sum of £4 10s. being expended
for the same purpose in the case of West Derby Castle. A further
sum of 100s. had also been devoted to the repair of the former
Castle.
The county had proffered £20, — which was to be looked for in
the Yorkshire Roll, — for respite from the Regard of the Forest.
Nova oblata. — Under this heading are recorded the fines
proffered by Lancashire free tenants for confirmation of charters
granted by King John, when he was Count of Mortain, for the
royal protection, for immunity from disturbance in their estates,
and if summoned to prove their title, for the privilege of being
heard before the King in the Curia Regis. No doubt the title of
the possessors of certain lands and offices at the time of King
John's accession, was not very secure. The sovereign was in
honour bound to secure his loyal supporters in the possession of
estates granted when he was Count of Mortain, which in some
instances had been forfeited during the rebellion of 1194.
William (le Fleming) de Furness proffered 60 marks and two
chasours (hunters or chargers) for confirmation of his charter from
the Count of Mortain, respecting his land and certain liberties in
county Lancaster.
Matthew Gernet £20 and two chasours, for confirmation of his
charter.
Robert (de Ainsdale), son of Osbert, 10 marks and one chasour,
for confirmation of his estate in Crosby.
Adam, son of Orm de Kellet, 30 marks, for confirmation of one
carucate of land in Middleton in Lonsdale, and of the office of
serjeant of the Wapentake of Lonsdale, with three carucates of
land in Kellet appurtenant to that office, and for confirmation
of the right to course hares and hunt foxes.
Yarforth, Ithel, Osbert, Arkeim, Madoc, Morgan and Philip,
the sons of Jargorn the Priest 10 marks, and two chasours, for the
privilege of being impleaded only before the King in the Curia
Regis (page 125).
Benedict Gernet, 40 marks for confirmation of the office of
Master Serjeant of the Forest of. Lancaster.

seems to have changed his name to Walton. About twelve years
later we are told by an Inquest how many Staffordshire persons
were then holding Royal demesnes. One entry is : — ' Henricus de
Waleton tenet vj. virgates terra? in Cestreton per cartam Regis
Henrici et nichil reddit (he pays no rent to the King) et valet per
annum xxx solidos/ (Testa de Nevill, p. 55).
"A few years later still, and Henry de Walton diminished his
estate at Chesterton by selling one virgate thereof to Henry de
Audley. The transaction was sanctioned by K. Henry III. in a
Charter of his eleventh year (a.d. 1227)."

NOTES ON THE TIPE ROLL OF 2 JOHN (MICH. 1199-MICH. 1200).
Robert cle Tatteshall, who held tweuty-five knights' fees in
Lincolnshire under the Earl of Chester, succeeded Theobald
Walter as Sheriff of Lancaster after Michaelmas, 1199. He had
just succeeded to the Lordship of Tatteshall after the death of his
father, Philip de Tatteshall, and had the previous year found
sureties for his relief of £100.
Repairs had been effected during the year to that portion of
Lancaster Castle devoted to the accommodation of the sovereign, his
officers and train upon the occasion of a visit of the Court to Lancaster,
and to the accommodation of the Justices in Eyre, during their
periodical visits to hold the Assizes there.
The Sheriff claims allowance this year for several new grants
out of the royal estate, and for lands restored to certain of the
King's old adherents who had suffered forfeiture in the year 1194.
By Charter dated at Chinon, October 10th, 1199, King John
granted and confirmed to Yarforth de Hulton, the town of Pendle-
ton, in exchange for Burtonwood and Kersall wood which he had
given him whilst he was Count of Mortain, to hold by the service
of one-sixth part of a knight's fee.
To Matthew Gernet be confirmed the grant of half a markate
of land in the pasture of Caton.
To Eoger de Huntingfield the fifteen librates in Mendham, for
which the said Roger had made fine the previous year.
To Robert le Rous thirteen librates in Navenby.
To Sorozina de Apegard ten markates in Crox ton-Key riall,
which had been in the King's hands since the year 1194 (page 80).
The bailiwick of the Forest of Lancaster had been in the King's
hands for six months of the year, before the King restored it to
Benedict Gernet. Henry de Nevill was answerable for the issues
for the half year; but as the entry respecting this matter in the
Roll of the following year has been cancelled, it is probable that
P>enedict Gernet had already recovered possession and answered
to the Sheriff for his form, as in the usual course.
The balance of the account of the year's ferm leaves the Sheriff
a creditor for £2 18.9. 4£rf., which does not appear to have been
afterwards refunded to him.
Theobald Walter and Nicholas le Pcteler account for the
roll of 2 JonN I. (1199-1200). 119
balance of £31 4s. 6d. remaining unaccounted for in the account
of the previous year. The sum of £13 paid into the Treasury is
no doubt the ferni of Navenby to Michaelmas, 1199, when Robert
le Rous regained possession. Matthew Gernet entered into pos-
session of the pasture of Catou at Christmas, 1198; Roger de
Huntingfield of his Mendliam estate at the same time.
The increment of ferm from Crosby, Walton, Wavertree,
Middleton, and Foul ton in Lonsdale had been proffered by the
respective holders of those estates, in consideration of King
John's grants of confirmation, already noticed.
Eoger, son and heir of Eoger Esturmy, had not yet discharged
his liability in connection with the three scutages of King Richard's
reign. He had obtained remission of the quota due from the fee
remitted when his father rendered the fishery of Oreford to King
Henry II. (page 66), and he still owes £9 for the quota due from
his three remaining fees. What is here described as "primum
Scutagium Regis Ricardi," clearly refers to the Scutage for the
King's redemption.
De oblatis. — The various sums still due for confirmation of
charters, of which notice has already been taken (page 109), are
recapitulated under this heading.
De Primo Scutagio assiso ad duas marcas. — All the great
feudatories of the Honor had performed military service with
King John in Normandy, and consequently obtained remission of
their quota to this scutage. The number of fees is in several
instances incorrectly stated. The exact figures are given in the
Roll of the following year.
Nova oblata. — The Knights and Thanes, having lands within
the precincts of the Forest of Lancaster had been called upon to
pay the arrears, — amounting to £220 — remaining due from the
time when the King, as Count of Mortain, had granted them a
charter of liberties of the Forest. For confirmation of this
charter they now proffered the further sum of £200. The original
charter had been cancelled when King Richard took the Honor of
Lancaster into his own hands, in the Spring of 1194.
The original charter of liberties granted by Count John of
Mortain to the town of Lancaster, dated at Dorchester on the
12th June, 1193, is preserved among the Municipal Records at
Lancaster. By charter dated at Chinon, on the 10th October,
1199, King John confirmed his former charter; but whereas the
first contained a grant of similar liberties to those which he had
120 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
conceded to his burgesses of Bristol, the confirmation in lieu
thereof conferred such liberties as King Henrv his father had
granted to the town of Northampton. For this confirmation the
townsmen of Lancaster proffered the sura of 40 marks.
A long list of the names of those who had obtained confir-
mation of their charters granted by Count John, follows below,
with details of the estates and the sums proffered for confir-
mation.
William de Hest, 100«. for confirmation of half a carucate of
land in Hest to hold by the service of 8s. ; and of one carucate
in Middleton to be held in thanage by the service of 1 mark.
Hugh, son of Esward, 40s. for confirmation of the town of
Poulton in Lonsdale, containing one carucate to hold by the
service of 15s. Walter de Paries, 2 marks for confirmation of the
same estate, which Hugh and Godith his wife had given him in
marriage with their daughter Matilda. An increment of 5s. is
disclosed in the service to be thenceforth rendered.
Swain, son of Robert de Hothersall. 40s. for confirmation of
Hothersall (2 oxgangs), to be held in thannge by the service of 5s.,
an increment of 3s. in the yearly render. The charter passed at
Verneuil, 12th October, 1199.
Warin, the Porter, 40s. for confirmation of the office of warder
of the gate and of the prisoners in T,ancaster Castle, and for his
corody in the Castle as a chief Serjeant.
Jorverth de Hulton, 20 marks and seven chasours for Pendleton
(page 118).
Roger de Heaton, 15 marks for seisin of the estate of Broune
(now Bourne Hall, in Thornton), of which he had been dis-
po3sessed by Theobald Walter, who had taken his charter of this
estate from him. There was to be an enquiry into the matter,
which resulted later in the grant of a new charier, which passed
at Aslacton, Kith March, 1201. For various acts of injustice to
mesne tenants in Amounderness, King John about this time
deprived Theolwild Walter of the hundred, together with the
profits and advantages which had been included in the grant by
King Richard in the year 1194 (page 81).
Upon the death of Richard Bussel, contention had arisen
between his brothers Albert and Geoffrey, respecting their
respective rights to the Barony of Penwortham. When John,
Count of Mortain, received Lancaster, Hugh Bussel had succeeded
his father Albeit, and soon afterwards he substantiated his claim
ROLL OF 2 JOHN I. (1199-1200). 121
against his uncle Geoffrey and recovered the Barony by the
verdict of the Count's court at Lancaster. This was further
confirmed by King John, by charter dated at Chinon, on the 11th
October, 1199, for which Hugh had proffered 20 marks. The
following year, however, Robert Bussel, son of Geoffrey, obtained
the King's consent for a new trial, as will be seen in due course.
Hugh Bussel had also proffered 40 marks and three chasours for
a writ of mart & ancestor respecting Broughton in Nottinghamshire
(sic, Leicestershire), and for an enquiry as to whether Thorp
Bussel in Suffolk had been of the dower of Giva, sister of
Ranulph Glanvill, of the fee of Richard Bussel or not, and for a
writ of right in that behalf. Owing to the loss of many of the
Curia Regis Rolls, of the reign of King John, information
respecting the suit is incomplete, but in the Easter Term, 11 John,
Roger de Morieux was summoned to the Curia Regis to show by
what right and warranty he obtruded himself in one knight's fee
in Gunthorpe, in co. Suffolk, which belonged to the Honor of
Penwortham. In his answer he pleaded that Richard Bussel, of
whose inheritance it was, gave Thorpe to Henry de Glanvill,
father of Ranulph Glanvill, for his homage and service ; that
Henry gave it to Adam de Biannery in marriage with Giva his
daughter, whose son and heir, Adam de Biannery, gave it to
Geoffrey de Morieux, brother of Roger the defendant, for his
homage and service ; that he, Roger, is heir of the said Geoffrey,
and that the charter is in the custody of Alexander his brother,
on behalf of his mother, together with King Henry's confirmation
of the Bame. The Court decided that a jury of twelve knights
of the county of Lancaster and as many of the county of Suffolk
should be summoned. There does not appear to be any record
of the judgment. Thorpe is now called Thorpe-Morieux, from
the ancient owners here named.
The writ of vwrt dC ancestor respecting Broughton in Leicester-
shire was doubtless in connection with the death of Geoffrey de
Valoines in 2 Richard I., to whom it had been granted by Richard
Bussel. Henry Falconer held it about this time, but by what title
it does not appear.
Warin de Whittingham had proffered 405. for letters of
protection. To this entry in the Fine Roll is the note " Non
habet eas."
Matthew, son of William, £20 for restitution of his cattle
which Hamon de Masci had taken from him. This sum was to be
122 TIIE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
paid out of the value of the cattle, as it appears. He held one
knight's fee in Withington of Robert Grelley, jointly with his
brother Rotart. He was probably father of Matthew de Haversage.
Onn de Ashton1 had also been deprivocl of his cattle. He
proffers £20 for restitution, to be paid in the same way.
Richard Fitton, 5 marks for seisin of Harwood-holme wood
which he had recovered in the court of Count John of Mortain,
by writ of mort d! ancestor, but had lost it when John was
dispossessed of the Honor of Lancaster. The suit had probably
been instituted against Roger, constable of Chester, or Albreda de
Lizours after the death of Robert de Lacy in the year 1193. Sir
Richard Fitton of Bollin, father of the first named Richard, had
received the manor of Great Harwood by grant from Heniy de
Lacy in the time of King Stephen,
William, son of Adam, 40s. for restitution of his cattle, which
Robert Young had taken.
Hugh Norreis, 10 marks and two chasours for confirmation of
Blackrod (1 carucate), to hold by homage and service of 20s., an
increment of 10s. This grant had been previously confirmed by
King Richard (page 86).
Elias, son of Robert de Fendlebury, 40s., for confirmation of
Pendlebury (1 carucate), to hold in thanage by the service of 10s.,
and 40 marks and two chasours for confirmation of the office of
master serjeant of the Wapentake of Sal ford, to which also
appertained the duty of answering to the King for the issues of
the Wapentake. The duties attached to this office appear to have
been the following : — To execute the mandates of the King's
Courts by writ and summons, and by the summons of the King's
Exchequer by precept of the Sheriff; to execute the judgments of
the County Court of Lancaster and of the Wapentake, to deliver
summonses, make attachments and levy distraints by the Sheriffs

the above "Eston" was Urmston, instead of Ashton-under-l yne. Urmston was
not a member of the Barony of Manchester, and *as never in the possession of
the Grelley family. It formed part of the estate of Roger de Marsey, who was in
ward to Kustaco de Mt rton in the 12-13 John. Ho afterwards disposed of his
Lancashire estates- including Urmston— to Ranulph lilundevill, Earl of Chester,
from whom they pa^ed to William de Fen era, Earl of Derby.

precepts or those of the warden for the time being of the King's
lands ; and to execute the judgments of the Sheriffs Turn, and
all other duties appertaining to the bailiwick of serjeanty of
fee.1
Henry de Lee, son of Warin de Lancaster, 20 marks for con-
firmation of King Henry's grant to his father of Kavensmeols,
Ainsdale, Up-Litherland and French Lea, with eight denariatcs
rent in the borough of Preston, to hold by the service of Falconry,
which grant the King had previously confirmed when he was
Count of Mortain.
Arthur de Ashton, 20 marks for confirmation of one carucate of
land in Ashton, Tulketh and Ingol, to hold in thanage by the
service of 10s.
Gerold de Clayton, 12 marks for confirmation of the serjeanty
of the Wapentake of Leyland ; and 15 marks for restitution of
the estate of Swainsete granted to him when the King was Count
of Mortain, and of which Theobald Walter had dispossessed him
and taken away his charter. After enquiry into this statement, a
charter of confirmation was granted — like many others at this
time — at Chinon, on the 10th October, 1199.
The King, while Count of Mortaiu, had confirmed the charter
of King Henry II. to the men of Preston, and had then granted
them certain additional liberties. This confirmation does not
appear to have been preserved, and was probably — like many
others — destroyed by Theobald Walter after the events of the
year 1194. In consideration of the 60 marks and three chasours
proffered by the burgesses, King John confirms their previous
charters, granting them toll of the Wapentake of Amounderness,
a free fair on the fea3t of the Assumption, and seven days after,
i.e. on the 15th to 22nd August, and free pasturage in the wood
called Fulwood, and housebote by the view of the Foresters.
Game!, son of Gamel, was no doubt a villein who had purchased
the freedom of the borough of Preston from Count John. He
proffers 5 marks, and obtains a confirmation of the freedom of the
borough for himself and his descendants, and a grant in fee of his
dwelling houses in Preston.
ltobert de Ainsdale, 5 marks for letter of protection for himself
and his free tenants against molestation by any King's bailiff', and
for the privilege of being impleaded concerning his tenements, only
in the Curia Eegis, and for acquittance from suits of Shire and
1 Escaeta. 17 Edward II. No. 45.

Wapentake, and from all pleas, except pleas of the Crown.
This confirmation passed at Bourg-le-Eoi, on the 16th September,
1199.
Robert de Hackensall, 10 marks for confirmation of four
oxgangs of land in Hackensall and Preesall, which his father Hugh
held by serjeanty, which Count John had previously confirmed.
The confirmation charter also granted the privilege of being
impleaded only before the King or his officers, and took the said
Hugh generally under the King's protection.
The Trior of Lancaster, two good palfreys or 10 marks for the
privilege of being impleaded concerning any tenement or estate
only in the Curia Regis, and for confirmation of the churches and
chapels granted to the church of St. Mary, and particularly of the
tithes in the royal demesnes, whether in hand, granted out or set
to farm, according to the Kings former confirmation. The writ to
the Sheriff of Lancaster, directing him to give the Prior full
possession, was dated at York, 26th March, 1200.
Walter de Thornton and Richard de Brexes had obtained
authority to bring an appeal of robbery against Adam Banastre and
Stephen le Boteler. The writ summoned the parties to attend at
Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter, 1200, upon which date
the defendants failed to appear.
Hugh de Morvill, 15 marks and three good palfreys for the
royal grant to himself and Hawise1 his wife, of a free court and
liberties of toll and team, infangenethef, gallows, and trial by fire
and water in their Manor of Carstang, together with all other
liberties of trial, except pleas of the Crown. The grant to remain
in force so long as his wife wore the secular dress, i.e. so long as
she was entitled to the full enjoyment of dower right, in the
estates of her former husband, William de Lancaster II.
The Abbot of Furness, £100 for confirmation of the charters of
that house, and for remission of the carucagc, or tax upon plough
teams levied this year throughout the country. Accordingly the
sum of £24 13s. 2d. of this fine was remitted, the Sheriff having
acknowledged before the Barons of the Exchequer that he had

received that sum from the Abbot's men for their plough teams.
If the levy was at the rate of 1 mark per team, the Abbey at this
time possessed some 37 teams, equivalent to an area of about 2,000
acres annually under wheat, barley, oats, and peas.
William de Itadcliffe, 10 marks for an enquiry whether he had
given Nicholas Oakes two carucates of land in Harteshead,1 under
compulsion of confinement while in prison, or not.
Gilbert fitz Reinfred, £100 and two palfreys for confirmation
of King Richard's charters, viz., — acquittance throughout his lands
in Kendal and Westmorland of cornage or noutgeld amounting to
£14 6s. 3rf., and from suits of shire and wapentake, &c. In lieu
thereof the service of one knight's fee was henceforth to be
performed by the said Gilbert and his heirs in respect of the said
lands (page 74). Also for confirmation of 16 carucates of land
in Levens with the fishery, Farleton, Beetham, Preston-Patrick,
Holme, Burton, Hincaster, Preston-Richard, and Lupton, and the
fishery appurtenant to these lands, for his homage and service, to
hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight's fee
(page 75). For the former charter Gilbert had proffered King
Richard 60 marks, and for the latter £100.
King John also granted him, in consideration of the proffered
donum, the following liberties within his knight's fee, held of the
Honor of Lancaster, viz. : — «a free court, gallows and pit,2 soke and
sake, toll and team, and infangenethef , and also a market at Warton,
on Wednesday in each week. These charters passed at Porchester
on the 25th and 26th April, 1200.
In Hillary Term, 4 John, Jorverth de Hulton was suing
Nicholas le Boteler for robbery and forcible detention of his
cattle. The defence was that Yarforth had brought the same
indictment against Nicholas in the time of King Richard, that the
suit had then been dismissed because felony was included in the
indictment, where felony would not lie. At the following Easter,
1 Hartshead is a division of the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, co. Lancashire.
In Domesday Hortesbve was part of llbert de Lacy's fief ; the land was two caru-
cates, and the tenant's name was Elsi. In Kirkby's Inquest of Yorkshire, it is
included under the King's lordship of the Wapentake of Morley. The mesne
tenant was Richard de Radclire.
* The higher jurisdiction granted by the King to a Baron, Earl, Bishop or Abbot
and appurtenant to his Court with Soke and Sake, Toll and Team, and Infan-
genethef, included the right to erect gallows for the execution of capital punishment
upon men, and to sink a pit or ditch in which to drown women convicted of
larceny. Ducange, sub voce fossa t/urca.
126 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
the parties came to ail agreement, Nicholas giving Yarforth
2 marks, and the latter withdrawing his appeal. It will be noticed
that Yarforth de Hulton, son of Bleddyn, and Jorverth, son of
Jagorn the priest, both had brothers of the name of Madoc, and
that both of these individuals were about this time taking action
against Nicholas le Boteler, the late deputy Sheriff, for recovery of
cattle distrained. The Welsh names borne by these men, leaves
no doubt as to their nationalitv.

NOTES OX THE PIPE HOLL OF 3 JOHN (MICH. 1200-MICU. 1201).
Richard de Vernon, a military tenant of the Peverel Fee,
succeeded Robert de Tatteshal as Sheriff after Michaelmas, 1200.
Some time previous to that date the men of the comitatus ot
Lancaster had proffered 100 marks to the King to have the said
Richard appointed as their Sheriff for a period of five years. The
proffer was not accepted at once, but Geoffrey fitz Peter, the
Justiciar, was directed to get £100 for the appointment if he
could. (Fine Roll, 1 John, m. 12.)
One of the Sheriffs first acts was to assess an increment of
100 marks in the ferm of the comitatus, increasing it from 300 to
400 marks. This was in addition to the increment in the fee farm
rents received from certain manors, which the King had recently
granted to various persons, among which Hothersall and Blackrod
now appear for the first time.
A large number of the entries which follow, including those
under the heading Dc oblatis Gwice, are merely old fines and
proffers recapitulated.
"Nova oblata." — Walter de Clifton, son of Osbert, 10 marks
and one palfrey for restitution of his estate in Salewick, which
Theobald Walter some years before had taken from him and
136 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
exchanged for the Wray. The King was to have the Wray again.
It had formed part of the royal estate.
Arctur, or Arthur de Ashton died during the fiscal year.
Richard, Ids son and heir, had paid a fine of 100s. for his relief.
His estate was one moiety of Ashton in Amounderness.
William de Winwick 10 marks and two palfreys for restitution
of 30 acres of land in Thornton in Amounderness, of which Theobald
Walter had disseised him, and for his relief of iive carucates of land,
which his father Robert de Winwick — who had died since 1194 —
formerly held there.
Theobald Walter had been taking action against the Burgesses
of Preston respecting the use of the jibbet and gaol erected there,
which he no doubt claimed to be an infringement of his former
judicial rights as Lord of Amounderness. They had proffered
10 marks and a palfrey to secure the cessation of his actions
against them, and no doubt continued to exercise the judicial
rights conveyed by the grant of soc and sac, included in the
charter of liberties granted by Henry II.
Hubert de Lathom died about this time, probably during the
fiscal year. Richard de Lathom, his son and heir pays a fine of
10 marks and two palfreys for his relief of his father's estates. The
palfreys were commuted for a payment of 10 marks; the relief was
therefore actually 20 marks. During the period of King John's
reign, these payments were very arbitrary, and greatly in excess of
the usual rate. The relief paid by a tenant in thanage at a later
date amounted only to the equivalent of his annual money
service.
Richard, son of Roger of Lytham and Wood-plumpton was
living 7 Richard I. His death probably occurred during the fiscal
year ending Mich., 1201. Of his five daughters who were his
heirs, two only were at this time married, viz. — Matilda the eldest,
who had been married during the year 1180, to Robert de Stock-
port (page 43); and Avice to William de Milium, before 1201.
Robert de Stockport now proffers 200 marks and five palfreys for
his father-in-law's estates, and for the wardship of the three un-
married daughters (page 44) and of their estates, and that they
might be allowed to marry advantageously by the advice of their
friends ; also that Avice might have her reasonable share of the
inheritance, ami that the widow Margaret — who had a considerable
estate in her own right — might not be constrained to marry against
her will; but if she desired to marry, it would be done by the King.
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 137
The Fine Roll in tliis, as in many other instances, contains much
fuller detail than the Pipe Eoll.
Robert de Stockport was also mindful of the welfare of the
Priory of Lytham, which had been founded during the period
1189-1194, — when John was Count of Mortain, — by Richard, son
of Roger, who had then obtained the Count's sanction to endow
the new foundation with the whole area of the town of Lytham,
containing two carucates of land, and had at the same time
obtained from his Chief Lord the remission of the annual thanage
service of 8s. $d.t due for that town. Robert de Stockport proffers
100s. and one palfrey for the royal confirmation of these original
charters, which was duly given by a charter which passed at Long
Marton, co. Westmorland, 26th February, 1201, during the King's
progress in the North of England.
De increments villarum de Lanoastre. — In addition to
the increase in the firma comitaiits already noted, the royal estate
within the county of Lancaster was also assessed to an increase of
ferin. These demesne lands were not exactly in hand, as we
should understand the term to-day, but the Sheriff for the time
being undertook to farm these estates at a fixed yearly sum, which
was included in the Corpus Comitatus. Whether the royal demesne
could stand an increase of rent is of course a matter of uncertainty
now, but the rapacity of the King most likely left the Sheriff with
little or no profit in return for his onerous duties. On the other
hand, it is possible that Theobald Walter had been gradually
increasing the yearly return from these estates ever since the year
1194. (See the notes respecting the ferin of Amounderness
pages 82-3.)
In Skerton and Overton there were — according to the Domes-
day Survey — ten carucates of land. At this time, however, six out
of the ten carucates were without plough teams, the contribution
of these towns being thereby reduced by 205. for half the year.
In Bolton le Sands and Steyna the land was held in Drenghage,
a tenure superior to Villeinage, and probably equivalent to tenure
in Thanage. The former term seems to have belonged to Strath-
clyde and Northumbria ; the latter to Mercia. While the former
appear to have rendered yearly service in cattle, called Noutgeld,
until commuted into a money payment; the latter generally in
money. In both cases military service was due to the lord,
probably on foot, whenever the necessity arose of calling out the
feudal host.
138 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
The towns which would be tilled by villeins, or by the still
lower class of men in bondage — sometimes called rustics, — were
the following: — Singleton, Stainall, Hambleton, Everton, West
Derby, and Salford.
The remainder, viz. : — Haightou, English Lea, Broughton (in
Amounderness), Newton (near Preston), Hale, Broughton (near
Manchester), Ordsal, and Flixton, had formerly been members of
the royal demesne, but had been granted out to be held either by
ser jean try or in fee farm.
The old increment of the rent of Broughton (in Amounderness)
dated from the time of the grant of the town to Ughtred, son of
Swain ; that of Trenton, since the grant of the charter of liberties
by Henry II. in 1170.
Nova oblata — Richard de Meath (Mida), was the eldest
son of Gilbert de Walton, and brother of Henry de Walton
(page 111). He is sometimes described as clcricus, and appears at
times to have attended at the court probably in an official capacity.
In the Patent Rolls he is described as "dilectus clericus noster."
In the month of December, 1200, he had letters of protection from
the King directed to the Justices then in Ireland. He attested
royal charters which passed respectively at Pont de l'Arche on the
5th June, 120.') ; at Pouen,on the 11th June, 1203 ; and at Bristol,
10th September, 1203. Probably he acquired his name from some
accidental occurrence, or some office which he may have held in
the province of Meath. Although the Pipe Poll specifically refers
to an entry in the Fine Poll respecting the grant of Walton, there
is no such cntrv to be found in the Poll of the third vear of John.
From the Charter Poll however, it appears that the King granted
to " Pichard de Mida, son of Gilbert de Waleton " the whole town
of Waleton on the Hill, which formerly rendered 40s. ancient dues
and customary yearly ferm, while it was parcel of the King's
demesne aud in his hands, to hold in fee farm for 60s. yearly for
all services. Given at St. Sever in Gascony, 27th July, 1200.
On the 14th May, 1 20o, by letters patent directed to Geoffrey,
Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, King John presented Eichard
de Meath to the church of Wolstanton, co. Staff.
Robert Bussel proffers 20 marks, in addition to the previous
proffer of 100 marks — which had been paid to the Justiciars, and
has not therefore previously appeared in the Pipe Polls — for an
inquiry to be made in the Curia Pegis respecting the fief of
Penwortham, of which Hugh Bussel was then in possession, but of
fcOLL of 3 john i. (1200-1201). 139
which — according to the said Robert's statement — his father,
Geoffrey Bussel was wrongfully dispossessed ; the said Hugh
having established his claim in the court [at Lancaster] at the
time that John was Count of Mortain, by virtue of the testimony
and statement of Richard de Vernon then made to the King, who
upon the strength of that testimony had granted to Hugh Bussel
his charter of confirmation. Hindi had been summoned to
Worcester on the morrow of* the close of Easter, 1200, with all
his charters and muniments relating to that estate, to prove his
title thereto. Richard de Vernon was likewise summoned to
declare on what grounds he had made the statement which he
had given to the King. More will be heard of this matter,, whiclr
brought disaster upon the family of Bussel and ultimately termi-
nated their connection with the Barony of Penwortham.
The Abbot of Furness had proffered two palfreys for a writ of
exemption from carucage. The palfreys had been delivered to the
King, in response to his writ for delivery.
Edusa, widow of. Alan de Windle had proffered 1 mark for a
writ to remove her plea of dower against Alan de Windle —
probably her son — out of the County Court to the Curia Regis at
Westminster.
Matthew Gernet had been a supporter of Count John during
the disturbances of 1193-4, and had been disseised of two oxgangs
of land in Grimstonlithe by King Richard. He had proffered 40?.
and one palfrey for restitution. The place is described in the Fine
Roll as in Westmorland, but it was probably in Caton, as appears
by the following entry in the Tenia de Ncvill, Vol. II., f. 834: —
'* Thomas Gernet tenet ij Carucatas terra: in Thainagio in Catton
per [annum] xx.s. Pater ejus dedit Mathreo ij bovatas reddendo
vj.d." When John was Count of Mortain (1189-1194), lie had
granted Littledale to Matthew Gernet to hold in fee by the yearly
service of £ mark. This was confirmed by royal charter which
passed at Shoreham, 18th June, 1199, in which the estate is
described as including the land of Ulfthwaite— a name now
remaining in the name Udale or Ulfdale — upwards to Roger de
Montbegon's forest (i.e., Roeburndale) and in the other direction
to Clougha; from Clougha oy Conder-head (or Condor's how ?) to
Roeburndale, and from Ulfthwaite to the bounds of Caton. The
hunting of buck and doe, wild boar, roe deer, and wild goat was
reserved to the King. The following entry in the Testa, f. 834,
refers to this grant : " Hse.res Mathasi Gernet tenet unam
140 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
pasturam [vocatam Littledale] de domino Rege et reddit per
annum diniidiam marcain."
An appeal had been brought against Roger de Kirkby Ireleth
respecting the death of Matthew, son of Simon. He had proffered
50 marks and two chasours in order to escape imprisonment, and
retain his liberty by giving pledge and sureties to appear to answer
justice.
Henry de Culcheth, Alan de Ilixton and others had proffered
40 marks and one chasour, for a similar undertaking to answer
respecting the death of Geoffrey de Sponden. Simon de Bedford
had been involved in the same charge, and having failed to answer
i.e., having fled the country, he had been proclaimed, and outlawed.
Afterwards he had thought better of it, and proffered 10 marks
and one chasour to be in-lawed and to be held by sureties to answer
justice.
Adam, son of Orm de Kellet proffered 6 marks and one
chasour for letters patent1 to enable him or his attornies to
answer respecting the death of Adam Gernet, only before the
King or the Chief Justiciar.
Roger de Freckleton had been disseised by Theobald Walter of
the pasture of Brethoughmoor, which he (Roger) asserted to be
part of his inheritance. An assize had been taken by the oath of
liege men, who found that lie had been disseised wrongfully and
without justice. Word had been sent by the King to the Sheriff
to deliver seisin of the land to him. Walter, son of Swain de
Carleton was his pledge for payment of the tine.
Thomas Gernet was the son of Adam Gernet, concerning whose
death Adam de Kellet had given sureties to answer. He had lost
his life sometime previous to Easter, 1200, for there is a record of a
plea in the Curia Regis in the Easter Term, 1 John, between Agnes,
[widow] of Adam Gernet versus Roger de Leicester, in which the
said Agnes complains that defendant had married his daughter to
her son who was of the King's wardship — his father being a tenant
in thauage — so that defendant had possession of the said Thomas
and of his estate, viz.— of five carucates of land in Heysham and
Caton, without the King's authority or consent. {Curia Regis
Roll> No. 16.) The King had promptly directed the Sheriff to seize
1 The Charter Roll, 2 John, m. 17 dorso supplies a copy of the King's letters
patent. " Rex, etc. Scias quod Tolumus quod Adam filius Orm non respondeat
alicui nisi coram nobis ycI capiluli justiciario nostro de morte Ada Gernet. Teste
me ip*o apud Lincoln, xiij die Januarii." [1201.]
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 141
the land to the use of the Crown; but upon Thomas Gemot proffer-
ing 5 marks for his relief, the Sheriff had been directed by writ to
deliver seisin of this land to him. Benedict Gernet was his pledge
for payment of the fine. He was probably cousin of Adam Gernet.
Besides his son and heir Thomas, Adam Gernet had two other sons
Adam and Matthew mentioned in the Testa, f. 834.
Alan, son of Alan de Pemberton had proffered 40s. for his relief
after his father's death, during the last of the troublous years of
Theobald Walter's shrievalty, viz. — in the 10 Richard, to Nicholas
le Boteler the deputy Sheriff. But his estate had been seized into
the King's hands in the 1 John. He now recovers seisin, having
proffered a fine of 10 marks — for the payment of which Richard de
Orrell and Henry de Melling were sureties — for restitution and for
his relief, and obtains a writ of right against Nicholas to recover
from him the sum already paid for relief. His estate is thus
described in the Testa de Nevill, Vol. II, f. 829 : " Alanus de Pem-
l>erton tenet ij Carucatas terne in Thanagio. Et reddit per annum
xx solidos et j judicom. Adam de Pemberton tenet illas Carucatas
de Alano prjedicto."
Henry, son of Alan de Holland proffered 10 marks for the
wardship of the daughter of Henry de Ribbleton and for her
marriage, "so it be however that she should not thereby suffer dis-
paragement," and so that he should provide the necessaries of life to
the daughter's brother, who was a leper, and reasonable dower to the
mother. The Sheriff wras to be responsible for the pence, i.e. the
yearly service for the land, or to find sureties. Robert de Preston
and Richard his brother had offered 100s. for the daughter's
wardship and marriage, and had also offered to pay 16s. yearly
service for one carucate of land in Ribbleton, besides the usual
customs, instead of the former service of 8s., but the King had
preferred to accept Henry de Holland's higher proffer. An entry
in the Testa de Nevill, f. 820-1, refers partially to this estate :
" Henricus de Holand tenet iij Carucatas et ij bovatas terra*
de domino Rege in capite per xxvj solidos. Idem Henricus dedit
de eodem tenemento unam Carucatam terne Rogero de Leycestre
per viij solidos et iij sagittas per annum."
Hugh de Oxclive held one carucate of land in Oxclive by
serjeanty, viz. — by executing the office of carpenter, more parti-
cularly when work was to be done in Lancaster Castle. He prof-
fered £ mark that he might remain in undisturbed possession
of his tenement.
142 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Ten other persons made similar proffers, viz. — John de Torris-
holme, who held one carucate in Torrisholme by serjeanty, viz. by
performing the duty of smoking and curing venison, bacon, etc.,
for the use of Lancaster Castle ; Ralph de Bolrun, who held one
carucate of land in Bolrun by performing the duty of mason or
stone-dresser (French Ma<jouncrie) ; William de Toulouse; Adamde
Wray1 and Gerard his brother; William the Eeeve of Overton;
Williot ; Adam the Skinner ; Roger son of Edric ; and Warin son of
Godfrey, who were probably all tenants by serjeanty, holding small
estates in or near Lancaster, and having various duties to perform or
offices to execute in connection with the Castle and County Court.
By charter which passed at Geddington, on the 14th March,
1201, the King granted and confirmed to William, son of Adam
and his heirs, six oxgangs of land in Bothelton (Little Bolton in
Saiford Hundred) to hold in free thanage by the yearly service of
18s. for all service and customs ; which estate the King — when
Count of Mortain — had granted to the said William. Before the
year 1212, the grantee died, as appears from the. following entry
in the Testa de NeviU, Vol. II, f. 827 : " Willelmus de Bothelton
tenuit unam bovatam (sic) in capite de domino Rege in feodi firma;
haeres ejus est in custodia domini Regis "; and another entry,
f. GG4: "Sarra de Bothelton est de donatione domini Regis, et
terra sua valet j marcarn." This may, however, refer to Bolton
le Sands, in Lonsdale Hundred.
As already noticed, Robert de Stockport had proffered 100s. and
one palfrey for confirmation of the charter respecting Lytham
(page 137). He now proffers two more palfreys — commuted to a
payment of 10 marks — as an increment upon his former promise, to
obtain the royal confirmation of three carucates of land in Bricht-
stat Bryning and Kelgrim's argh (now Bryning and Kellamergh)
grunted to Richard, son of Roger, during the period 1189-1194.
The confirmation is dated at Geddington, on the 14th March, 1201,
and is made in favour of Matilda, wife of Robert de Stockport,
Margaret, Avice wife of William de Milium, Quenild and Amuria,
the daughters of Richard, son of Roger. It confirms two carucates
(sic) in Bryning and Kellamergh to be held by the service of the
fourth part of a knight's fee. but explicitly excepts two carucates in
Formby, which the King retained in his own hands. (Charter
Roll, 2 John, m. 8.)
Alexander de Preston had proffered 8s. for seisin of a toft in
1 See the Chartularj of Cockersand Abbey, under " Wray."
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 143
Preston, of which he had been disseised by Roger de Leicester,
Seneschal of Aniounderness. An enquiry had been made and the
verdict given that the disseisin had been unjustly and illegally
made.
Roger de Kirkdale held three carucates of land in Kirkdale.
He died lief ore 2 John. His daughter Quenild was married by the
King to Richard, son of Roger (page 50), against whom the widow
Goditli was taking action to obtain recognition of her dower. She
had proffered J mark for a writ of summons, to have her plea tried
before the Justices at Westminster.
The Abbot of Furness renders account of 40 marks and two
palfreys for two carucates of land in Stapletern to hold by the
yearly service of 40a, and for the King's charter respecting the
same. This charter is not to be found in the Charter Rolls. The
Testa dc Ncvill, f. 832, has the following entry : " Idem Abbas [de
ffurneis] tenet ij Carucatas in Stapelthurne et reddit domino Regi
xl solidos per annum." These references certainly point to the
grant having been a recent gift of King John's, notwithstanding
the inference to be drawn from an ancient survey of the Manor of
Bolton, preserved in the u Registrum Honoris de Richmond"
{History of Ilivhmtnulshire, Vol. IT, p. 283), that the grant was made
by Henry I. or Stephen. There is a possibility that Henry II.
resumed possession before the year 11G2, and that King John
merely restored to the Abbey of Furness what had formerly been
their's, but the Pipe Rolls are silent as to any forfeiture having
taken place.
A suit respecting the partition of four oxgangs of land in a
place called Hammingham, between Alina and Sabina of the one
part, and their sister Eugenia of the other, had been proceeding in
the County Court, and 20s. was due for a writ of summons to
remove the further hearing of the suit to Westminster. There is
no mention in the Fine Rolls of this matter.
Hugh de Nevill owed G9 marks and 10s., arising from the
amercements of the men of Lancaster, imposed by the said Hugh
as Forest Justice, an account of which appeared in the Roll which
he had already delivered to the Treasury. The details were not
copied into the Pipe Roll.
Theobald Walter's payment has already been dealt with
(page 94).

the rate of 2 marks per knight's fee. But it will be noticed that
some of the payments are at a very much higher rate. These
included fines "ne transfretent," i.e., to escape the necessity of
crossing over sea to perform military service with the King. This
was an innovation created by the rapacity of the King. Formerly
the payment of scutage at a fixed rate procured exemption from
military service and vice versd.
It has been possible to draw up a complete Feodary of the
Honor of Lancaster at this date, from the returns of the first and
second scutages of King John's reign, 1199-1201.

The total 74 J, -j^, gives two fees more than the estimated value
of the first and second Scutages, owing to the omission of Benedict
Gernet's one fee and another fee in Thurston. Thus 72£ and £ fees
at 2 marks = £96 85. lOd. Vide page 114.
The thanes and tenants in fee farm were also called upon to
pay a fine of 50 marks " ne transfretent," and to escape any pro-
ceedings against them for failing to personally perfoim military
service. It is probable that there was little, if any distinction
L

between tenure in "free thanage" and "in fee farm." Both
resolved themselves ultimately into tenure " in socage."
Shortly before the end of the previous fiscal year, i.e.9 about
Mich. 1200, the Rarony of Penwortham had been taken into the
King's hands pending the judgment upon the trial which was
then proceeding between Hugh and Robert Bussel (page 138).
The issues for the year included £8 6s. M.} the rent for which the
Sheriff had farmed out the lands of the Barony ; 2 marks for corn
sold ; 35s. 8d. perquisites of the Court of Penwortham, and £ mark
presumably for soutage of { knight's fee, consisting of lands held
by Hugh Bussel in demesne.
Robert, son of Bernard, thane of Goosnargh, had been invoking
the King's aid in the collection of debts due to him, and had
promised one-third, amounting to £4 15s., in return for the
Sheriffs assistance. Four years later he promised one-half the
total of the debts then due to him, and the King sent word to the
Sheriff to distrain the following persons, and to keep the moiety
of the sums recovered for the King's use ; viz. : —
Theobald Walter 5 marks.
Robert de Bury, Richard de Uonford, Adam

NOTES ON THE PIPE KOLL OF 4 JOIIX (MICH. 1201-MICH. 1202).
Repairs had been lately effected to the Castles of West Derby
and Lancaster, 10 marks upon the former, under the superinten-
dence of Henry Travers and Henry de Walton, the Serjeant or
bailiff of the wapentake of West Derby ; and 20 marks upon both
Castles under the superintendence of Walter de Paries and the
said Henry de Walton.
Siuce Easter, 1200, the Sheriff had ceased to receive the issues
of the Forest of Lancaster, which had been given to Benedict
Gernet, the Kings Forester (page 109).
The condition of the Gaol at Lancaster had been receiving
attention. During the year the royal demesnes had also been
restocked by the purchase of a long hundred of breeding ewes,
costing 6cL each, and of seven teams of oxen required for the
cultivation of seven carucates of land, and of sixty cows for the
vaccaries of Wyresdale. A working ox and a calving cow each
cost 4s. at this period.
Matthew de Haversage, son of William (page 121), and Orm
156 THE LANCASHIRE TIPE ROLLS..
de Ashton (page 122) who had each proffered £20 for a writ of
right, were unable to obtain verdicts in their favour. Their debts
were therefore cancelled.
The issues of Hugh Bussel's estate in renwortham, which
was in the King's hands, produced £10 9s. for the year, and the
perquisites of the Court, 54s. 4d,
One-third of Crox ton-Key riall had again been in the King's
hands for nine months of the year. Sarazina de Apegnrd had
recovered this estate, which was her mother's right, at Mich. 1199.
She had then proffered 30 marks for an inquiry as to whether ten
markates of land in Croxton were the right of Macelinga her
mother, and whether Count John's bailiffs — during the period
1189-1194 — had disseised her unjustly and without right To
this entry in the Fine Roll of 1 John, m. 18, the note is added —
" Let inquiry be made, and if it be so found to be, and she find
sureties, let her have that land." She had accordingly been put
in seisin at Michaelmas, 1199, but upon her death it had again
been taken into the King's hands. At Michaelmas, 1204, William
de St. Aubin and Christiana his wife obtained possession as
Sarazina's heirs.
There is an error in the account rendered by the Knights and
Thanes of their debt for confirmation of the charter of liberties of
the Forest. The amount brought forward was £239 8s. lid. ; the
payment during the year was £111 10s. 6d. ; Hugh de Nevill had
received £82, and Theobald Walter £45 12s. IQd. The balance
remaining due was only 5s. Id. Next year they paid £10 5s. 7rf.
De taillagio facto pek Rioardum Malebisse. — The tallage
which wTas made this year throughout the Kingdom, was assessed in
the county of Lancaster by Richard Malebisse, a military tenant of
the Honor of Eye and a staunch servant of King John. In some
cases the levy seems to have been at the rate of £ mark upon
each carucate. The total sum levied within the county amounted
to £104 8s. composed of 127 items of account Of this amount
27 marks 7s. M. were accounted for by the Sheriff in 39 tallies ;
but the names of the persons and places contributing, although
entered upon the roll which Richard Malebisse delivered into the
Treasury, were not entered in the Pipe Roll.
The following is a list of the names of persons and places
detailed in the present roll, to which has been added some infor-
mation respecting their estates, tenure and services, chiefly taken
from the Testa de Nevill : —

mentioned Henry. In the 28 Henry IT. (page 47), the Dean had
proffered 40 m. for the wardship of his nephew and of half a

(page 102) Adam de Lancastra proffered £10 for ward hip of the
heir of Richard son of Waldeve, and of his land. In the 7 John
(Fine Solly m. 4) William, son of Richard gave 1 in. for a praecipe
quod redded against Adam the Dean, to obtain possession of his
land which the Dean held with the wardship of the said William.
About this time Henry de Redman, with the consent of his wife
and heirs, granted a rent of 3s. arising from lands in Pennington
for the maintenance of certain lamps in Furness Abbey, viz. —
2s. which William, son of Waldeve, the grantor's uncle renders to
him for land called Haw thorn thwaite, which formerly belonged to
Adam the grantor's uncle, and 12d. which Gam el, son of Levin
renders to him for land called Micklethwaite (Furness Coucher,
p. 509). These references have been given to assist in the

Adam, the Dean rendered tallage as teuants in thanage.

Nova Oblata. — Geoffrey the Crossbowman had received a
grant of the towns of Hackensall and Preesall, containing six
carucates of land, from Count John of Mortain, to hold by
serjeanty, rendering yearly two crossbows.1 The King had con-
firmed this grant in consideration of Geoffrey's proffer of 15 marks,
but the charter is not to be found in the Charter Rolls. A copy
1 The entry in the Testa de Nevill, Vol. II., f. 819 appears to hare been
erroneously copied from the original returns made in the 12 and 13 John. Two
entries — one rein ting to Preston, nud the other to Haekcuhall and Preesall — have
been mixed into one. Probably these ought to read as follows : —
"Burgenscs de P re* ton tenent vj carucatas terra? in Preston in libera burgagfo
per xv libras."
"Galfridus arbalistarius tenet vj carucatas terra) do dono domini Begis Jobannis
in serj&ntia per duasarcliibalistas."

without attestation clause or date is however preserved among the
Cartas Antiqua, Y., No. 31.
Hugh Bussel had fared badly in the Curia Regis. The out-
come of the suit brought against him by Robert Bussel, and of the
inquiry into the evidence given during the former trial, when he
recovered the Barony of Penwortham in the County Court at
Lancaster against his uncle, Geoffrey Bussel, during the time' that
John was Count of Mortain (page 138), appears to have been
favourable only in so far as the question of right was concerned ;
but the Ciown lawyers had apparently proved that the method ot
obtaining the former verdict had been tortuous, and for this
default lie was in the King's mercy. The Court had condemned
him to pay a fine of 400 marks for the King's warranty of the
default, whereby he had lost seisin of the Honor and for the
King's mandate to put him in seisin once more. Before this was
done, however, the Justiciar was directed to obtain sureties for
payment of 100 marks within the current year, and £100 during
each of the two ensuing years. Hugli paid 90 marks of this fine,
— Robert Bussel also sharing in the liability — but apparently they
were unable to meet the next instalment, and between Easter and
Michaelmas in the 7th John, 1206, they released their title in the
Barony, both within the County and without, to Roger de Lacy,
Constable of Chester, who gave them in return an acquittance to
hold them harmless against the King for the balance of the lino
then remaining unpaid, amounting to 310 marks.
Robert de Harston's relief of 15 marks may have been at the
usual rate upon two knights' fees, or it may have represented the
relief for the one knight's fee in Harston and Knipton which he
held of the Honor of Lancaster, and a fine for seisin of his father's
estate. According to the Testa dc Neviil, Vol. I., f. 455, William
de Casthorpe held half a knight's fee in Casthorpe of Robert de
Harston ; and (ibid., f. 469) Walter de Grey held four and a half cars,
in Somerton of Robert de Harston by the service of half a knight's
fee. In the reign of King John both these were held of the Honor of
Lancaster de vcteri feoffamento, but like some other fees appear to
have been afterwards alienated from that Honor.
Roger de Burton, a military tenant of the Barony of Kendal
had proffered £40 for the wardship of the land, and of the heir of
Matthew Gemet (see page 139) — who probably died during the year
— and for the marriage of the widow, who was the said Roger's
daughter.

1)E Scut agio Militum — The Sheriff supplies a statement of the
number of the knights' fees which contributed to the 3rd Scutage
of this reign. He gives the number as 49^ collected by himself ;
15£ by the Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk ; 8£ by the Sheriff of
Nottinghamshire, and 1J by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire. Total
74J, J, ^, yV» tV The figures vary from the previous scutage,
owing to the Barony of Penwortham being in the King's hands ;
the return for that fief being now — Roger de Freckleton 1 fee,
Geoffrey Gernet J fee, Uerold de Clayton y^ fee (not counted in
the total), Robert, son of Richard, Elias and Roger de Hutton -f^
and ^ fee, and Theobald Walter 3 fees, instead of £ fee for Weeton.
There is also an additional contribution from Hugh le Porter
and from Macelinga, the mother of Sarazina for $ fee in Croxton.
Henry de Read had proffered J m. for a prcrcipe concerning five
and a half oxgangs of land in Read, to enable him to take action at
the advent of the Justices into those parts versus John de Read and
Gamel his brother, Henry son of William, and Alexander son of
Richard, also of Read. Several of these names occur under the
Titulus de Reued in the Coucher Book of Whalley, pp. 1067-1071.
The " servientes do Lancastra," i.e. those who held any office
or serjeanty in the Honor of I^ancaster not already enumerated,
had been assessed to the tallage at 11 marks.
John de Grey, Bishop of Norwich (who was afterwards elected
Archbishop of Canterbury, but set aside by the Pope), Hugh
Bardulf, John de Gestling, Master Roger Arundel, William fitz
Richard and others were in eyre in the county during the year.
There had been great judicial activity — not necessarily implying
the administration of even justice — throughout the country, and at
Lancaster the list was a heavy one. The Justices commenced
their Session on or before the 25th October, 1202, and completed
it on the 7th November. The entry in this Roll of amercements
collected and paid into the Treasury is therefore postscriptive,
and really belongs to the 5th year. No Lancashire Assize Rolls
for the reign of John are now known to exist, but the final
concords of some thirty suits dealt with during this Session are
extant, and in the Roll of the following year particulars of a
considerable number of cases are given. In the Roll delivered to
the Treasury by the Justices, there were details of 198 cases of
amercement of persons and townships, the penalties collected during
the Autumn amounting to £80 8s. In the Roll of the following
year, of 123 cases, and of amercements amounting to £240 3s. 8d.

NOTKS ON THE PIPE KOLL OF THE 5 JOHN (MICH. 1202-MICH. 1203).
J hiring the year 3 marks had been spent in the improvement
of the King's lodgings in Lancaster Castle, and 7s. in the improve-
ment of the Keep.
In claiming allowance for Croxton, among the entries " in terris
datis," the Sheriff refers to the portion which "belonged" to
Sarazina. It remained in the King's hands during the year and
yielded 7 marks from set or standing rents of free tenants, 8 marks
from the sale of the corn crops of the demesne, and IDs. for cattle
sold.
Theobald Walter stood responsible for the sum of £45 12s. 1(W.,
part of the fine of the Knights and Thanes, for the royal charter of
liberties of the Forest. He now produces the King's writ granting
him allowance of £11) lis. 2d., which he had laid out ten years
before, when the King was Count of Mortain, in providing muni-
tions of war and victuals for Lancaster Castle, and in the payment
ROLL OF 5 JOHN (1202-1203). 171
of Knights stationed there ; and of the further sum of £25 13s. 6rf.
for work done in the strengthening of that Castle, under the super-
vision of William son of Robert, and one Hugh. The balance of
2& 2d. he paid into the Treasury.
The inquiry respecting two carucates of land in Hartshead (page
124) had terminated in favour of William de Kadcliffe, and his
proffer of a chasour or 3 marks had been accepted, that he should
have such seisin as had been adjudged to him in the Curia Regis
at Geddington, when the Court was there from 29th August to 1st
September, 1204 ; which seisin he had recently recovered before the
Justices in Eyre at York.
De taillagio Theworum. — The Sheriff had collected the
tallage of 46 persons, who had paid in full, amounting to £39 13s. 4rf.
William le Fleming of Furness, Quenild de Kirkdale, Ranulph son
of Roger (also called " de Ganielston," and " de Marsey ''), and
Gilbert de Nocton paid instalments. Gilbert de Croft, Robert son
of Robert, Wrilliam son of William— a tenant in thanage, in
Rivington, — William de Nevill, — who had recently married Aniabil
dau. and co-heiress of Adam fitz Swain, and widow of Alexander
de Crevequour, — Geoffrey Russel and Hugh le Norreis of Blackrod
still owed their quota.
De finibus et Scutaqio Mil,itum, — The fourth Scutage of
King John was put in charge tin's year. It was nominally at the
rate of 2 marks upon each Knights fee, but the payments actually
made were at a much higher rate, and were of the nature of fines
ne transfrctctU. Warin Banastre was not yet of full age, conse-
quently Thoinas de Golborne and Adam de Lowton still answer
for the fee of Makerfield. The greater Barons — with the excep-
tion of William le Boteler — attended upon the King, and had
acquittance of scutage.
Nova Oblata.. — Albert de Nevill seems to have been Robert
Grelley's seneschal of Manchester.1 His proffer of 2 marks for
inquiry into a charge of obstructing the Sheriff, probably referred
to some dispute which had arisen between the officers of the
Wapentake of Salford, and those of Grelley's lordship of Man-
chester. The two jurisdictions were terribly intermixed.
Theobald Walter had proffered two palfreys for permission to
go into Ireland. He had been constituted " Chief Butler " of that
1 He appears in the Curia Regis about this time, as Robert Grelley's attorney in
a plea against Richard de Pierpont respecting 40 acres of wood in Xjoslocjt (pud
Rumworth?) (Curia Reyis Roll, No. 33. )

Robert, clerk of Preston proffered 2 marks that he might not
be Coroner, an office instituted in 1194, to keep record of pleas
of the Crown, and generally to watch over all matters concerning
the administration of criminal justice, and the profits accruing
therefrom.
Orm de Ormskirk appears to have been hanged or outlawed
during this Eyre of the Justices. His cattle had been sold for the
King's benefit Hubert Bastard owed 1 mark which was due
from certain men whose release from gaol he had purchased. He
and Robert Vavassor also owed 48s. for the cattle of one Hereuer,
or Heruer, who had been incarcerated, but had proffered 2\ marks
for releasa Michael son of Buude owed £ mark for release from
a charge of complicity in causing the death of some man, at
whose death he had been present Walter de Tritton (? Thorn-
ton) owed J mark to be acquitted from an appeal, probably of
murder. Walter de Carleton, son of Swain, owed 1 mark for
licence to withdraw some plea.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF G JOHN (MICH. 1 203-MICII. 1204).
Among the entries " in terris datis," that relating to two-thirds
of Croxton, co. Notts., has been cancelled. By letters patent
dated 7th March, 1204, the King gave permission to Hugh le
Porter to let in fee farm, or to mortgage his estate in England, for
two years from Ash Wednesday, 1204. {Pat. Poll, 5 John, m. 3.)
In the previous October, the King had confirmed certain grants of
land in Croxton and Sedgebrook, which Hugh le Porter had made
to the abbey of Croxton, to which house his father had also been
a munificent benefactor (pages 32, 81). At Easter, 120G, Geofirey
Lutrel had become possessed of this estate, as appears by letters
close dated 13th November, 1204, directing the Sheriff of Lancas-
ter to give Geoffrey seisin of thirteen librates of land in Croxton,
which had belonged to Hugh le Porter. (Clow Poll, 0 J no., in. 12.)
The remaining third-part of this town, which had recently been
in the possession of Sarazina de Apegard, was now in the posses-
sion of William de St. Aubin and Christiana his wife. Before
Michaelmas, 120G, they had been dispossessed,1 as appears by letters
1 It is stilted by Nichols in the History of Leicestershire (Vol. II., Pt. 1, p. 146),
that when Philip, the French King seized upon the hinds belonging to the. English
in Normandy, King John retaliated by seizing the possessions of the French in
England. The family of " le Porter" of Lyons held Croxton in exchange for
Corel mm and Culington (page SO), and being Frenchmen they now lost this estate.
Sarazinn, dau. of Roger le Porter and Masiliu, or Mazclinga de St. Aubin, held her
portion of Croxton of Ilugh le Porter of Lyons by the service of bearing tho
standard of the Porters, when they were in the service of the King, and so her
succeszors also lost their portion of this estate.
roll of 6 john (1203-1204). 183
close dated 3rd January, 1206, directing the Sheriff to give Geof-
frey Lutrel seisin of ten markates of land in Croxton, formerly
belonging to William de St. Aubin and his wife, " because the
King had given it to 111111." {Close Roll, 7 Jno., m. 6.)
Warin Banastre probably attained his full age about Michael-
mas, 1204, when he was put in seisin of his patrimony, — the Fee
of Makerfield, — having proffered 400 marks for it. This heavy
fine is suggestive of a dispute having arisen after the death of
Robert Banastre as to who was his next heir. Makerfield had
been in the King's hands for some time. Warin died before 3rd
April following, when the Sheriff was directed to pay 20s. to his
widow Sarah, which the King had given to her. {Close Roll, 6 Jno.,
m. 5.) Makerfield then continued in the King's hands until 1213.
Owen ap David was the son of David ap Owen Gwynedd, who
married in 1174, Emma, illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey le Bel,
Comte of Anjou, and father of Henry II., who in 1188 gave her
the Manors of Ellesmere, co. Salop, and Hales, since called Hales
Owen, co. Worcester. King John wishing to give the Manor and
Castle of Ellesmere to Llewelyn ap Griffith, Prince of North Wales,
in marriage with his daughter Joan, took Ellesmere into his
own hands, and gave Owen ap David in exchange thirteen librates
in Elmdon, co. Warwick, and, as a temporary grant, £7 19s. 6d. rent
in Salford. This rent was soon after resigned, viz. about Easter,
1206, and the King then gave Owen fifteen librates in Waltham
in Lindsey. {Close Rolls, G Jno., m. 14, m. 7 ; 7 Jno., m. 10.)
The Sheriff produced the King's writ allowing him 20s. for
improvements made in Lancaster and West Derby Castles, and
22s. Gil. for the repair of a granary in the former Castle.
De Quinto Scutagio. — The fifth Scutage of King John was put
in charge early in the sixth year. Although nominally at the rate
of 2 marks per knight's fee, it was levied in a very arbitrary
manner in the Honor of Lancaster, at the rate of 3 or sometimes
6 marks per fee. In fact all tenants in chief, whether in chivalry,
in thanage, in fee farm or by serjeanty were assessed, who had not
already contributed to the tallage of the 4th year, and in thirty -
five cases those who paid tallage in the 4 John, paid generally
increased amounts to this tallage.1
1 The estates for which tallage was paid have been identified so far as it has been
possible to do so. Further investigation may prove that in some cases the assess-
ment was upon estates other than those here stated, and this applies especially to
those cases where the tenure was bj military service.
184 THE IANCASMRE PIPE ROLLS
The following persons — with three exceptions — did not con-
tribute to the previous tallage : —
Robert, son of Gilinichael, 1 in. ; 1 car. in Whittington, in fee

jeanty, to serve in the forest.
Henry de Kellet, 5 m. ; 3 car. in Over Kellet, Dare and Claugh-
ton, in thanage by 19s. GV. Henry appears to have been an elder

{Ibid.).
Klias de Hutton, 1 m. ; 1 car. in Medlar in fee farm by 8s.
Adam de Walton, — whose name has been cancelled and
Matthew son of Richard substituted, — 1 m. ; Matthew de Walton

Walton-on-the-Hill in connection with the serjeantry of Bailiff of
West Derby Hundred.
Kanulf de Marsey, son of Roger, 20s. ; 4 car. in Salford hundred
in fee farm by 10s. and by serjeanty.

Matthew7 Gemot, i m. ; the pasture of Littledale in Caton in
fee farm by Gs. Sd.
Robert de Overton, i in. ; £ car. in Overton by serjeanty, to

ROLL OF 6 JOHN (1203-1204). 185
Walter Underwater, £ in. ; an estate called Miluesfleet, situ-
ation not ascertained, by serjeanty.
John, son of Ralph, \ in. ; estate not ascertained.
Quenild de Kirkdale, £ m. ; 1 car. in Formby, by serjeanty to
convey the Treasury through a portion of the county when re-
quired.
Margaret Banastre, 1 in. in two equal items ; she was the
widow of Richard, son of Roger, of Lythain and Wood-plump ton,
and would be assessed on some portion of her deceased husband's
thanelands, with which she was endowed.
Adam de Walton, 1 m. ; probably he was a tenant of lands in
Ulnes walton, held of the fee of Penwortham.
Adam, son of Gilbert, £ m. ; perhaps brother of Henry de
Walton, who held the serjeantry of Bailiff of West Derby hun-
dred, with lands in Walton, Wavertree and Newsham (vide supra).
William le Fleming, of Furness, was in ward to Henry, son of
Hervey (see below). The King excused the latter 20 marks of
the assessment upon le Fleming's estate in Furness.
Robert, son of Robert, £ in. ; probably soma estate held of the
fee of Penwortham, situation not ascertained.
Geoffrey de Penwortham, \ m. ; laud in Longton, held of the
fee of Penwortham.
Robert de Longton, brother of Geoffrey, \ m. ; same estate as
the last-named.
Alan de Rixton, £ m. ; 1 car. in Rixton and Glazebrooke held
of the Warrington fee.
Nova Oblata. — William, son of Michael le Fleming of Furness
being dead, and William his heir a minor, Henry, son of Hervey buys
the wardship of the heirs and of their estates for 200 marks. Ada
or Aline the widow proffers 150 marks and two palfreys for assign-
ment of dower and for her share of his chattels, and for liberty to
marry whom she would. She is probably the lady who afterwards
married William le Boteler of Warrington.
Hugh and Robert Bussel pay 30 marks towards their fine of
400 marks. As already stated (page 1G1), they afterwards made
default as regards the balance.
Walter de Adlington proffered \ mark for a " pnecipe quod
reddat" respecting six oxgangs of land in Adlington, against Siward
de Duxbury. An assize of mort d'ancestor had been summoned
between them in the Curia Regis respecting this land. Agree-
ment was made by Siward acknowledging that " Adelvinton " was

the right of Walter, who then granted it to Siward and his heirs,
to hold of him by tts. 6d, yearly at Martinmas. (Feet of Fines,
4 Jno., Lane., No. 25.)
Adam, son of Adam de Kellet proffered a palfrey or 5 marks
for the King's confirmation of certain lands in Bolton-le-Sands,
called Gerefholm (Reeve's holm) and Dritern (Drytarn), which
Adam, son of Alan and Godith his wife, Thomas Rous (Bitffus) of
Bothelton and Sigherit his wife, Gilbert de Bothelton and Serot
his wife, Michael, son of Waldevc de Bothelton, Adam, son of
William de Bothelton, ami Agnes, daughter of Roger de Bothelton
had granted to him, to hold of them by 2.$. 4d. yearly. The royal
confirmation is dated at Nottingham, 25th August, 1204. {Charter
Boll, 6 Jno., m. 7.) The reference to Richard de Meath as the
grantor is erroneous. His name is not given in the Fine Koll
entry. (G Jno., m. 8.)
Bichard, son of Robert de Walton proffered a palfrey or
5 marks for the King's confirmation of four oxgangs of land in
Walton-on-the-Hill, which Bichard de Meath had granted to him,
to hold by os. (id. yearly. The confirmation bears the same date
as that to Adam de Kellet.
William de Winwiek's proffer for an inquiry was due to an
appeal brought against him in the Curia Begis by Italph Langus
for wrongful and premeditated assault and robbery at Langshaw,
near Chipping, when the said Ralph was conveying to his lord
15 marks of his ferm, which he had received. Robert Druery was
implicated in the same affair. (Curia Begis Boll, 4 Jno., No. 29.)
Robert, son of Geoffrey's proffer for licence to concord is
correlative to a suit in the Curia Regis, in which he w?as the
plaintiff against Robert, son of Ughtred, respecting six oxgangs of
land in Longton, in which the latter had no entry except by Hugh
Bussel, who had committed that land to him during the minority
of the said Robert, son of Geoffrey. The land was in the King's
hands at the time of the institution of the proceedings, by reason
of the default of Bobert, son of Ughtred, the tenant, and was to
be sued for. (Curia Begis Boll, 6 Jno., No. 36.)
Sabina, widow of Roger de Heaton, proffered J mark for a
writ of summons coram Bege on the Octave of St. Michael, re-
specting her dower in Westhusum and Brunne (Weesham, and
Bourn Hall, in the township of Thornton in Amounderncss). Her
son was a minor. Afterwards the King sold the wardship and
marriage of the heir to Henry de Redman. ( Vide postea.)
holl of 7 John (1204-1205). 187
The Bishop of Norwich had, three years before, proffered 400
marks for the wardship and marriage of Oliver, son and heir of
Oliver D'Aincurt. Afterwards lie disposed of this wardship to
Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who proffered five palfreys for the King's
confirmation of the assignment, which the King confirmed by
letters patent dated 7th Sept., 1204.
Gilbert, son of Adam, proffered 1 mark for a grand assize to
inquire and declare whether he held land in Penwortham in chief
of the King, whereby he ought to pay tallage, or not.
The enrolment of a charter relating to Writtle, co. Essox, was
a postseriptive entry, and has no reference to co. Lancaster (page
102).

NOTES ON fllfc J'lPE ROLL OF 7 JOHN (MKIL 1204-MICH. 1205).
l'ichard de Vernon retired from oftiee at Easter, 1205, William
de Vernon having acted as his Deputy for the half-year. He had
been negligent in executing the King's mandates, and not only
lost his post, but was subjected to a tine of 40 marks, and a
palfrey (Nova oblata hujus anni), He was succeeded by Gilbert
fit-z Ileinfred, into whose charge the King committed the County
and Honor, by letters patent issued at Windsor, on the 2oth
April. Adam de Carlisle, son of Jtioger, executed the office in his
place ut Custos, i.t\ as lieceiver or Seneschal, and not as a farmer
of the county revenues.
There are several new items of account in the Corpus
Comifatus. In the hearing of pleas, and execution of justice, 9s.
had been expended. The ferm of the town of Lancaster was
now rendered for the first time by the burgesses themselves, and
hot by the Sheriff as heretofore. In the repair of the lodgings iu
Lancaster Castle, 2\)s. (id. had been expended.
Theobald Walter died about the beginning of August, 1205,
probably in Ireland. The issues of his Amounderness fee yielded
£10 Is. 3d. for the King's use, for that portion of the year which
remained before the Michaelmas audit. His brother Hubert, the
Archbishop, also died about this time, viz. on the 13th July.
Nova Oblata. — Stephen, Count of lioulogne and Mortain,
had enfeoffed the ancestor of Hugh 1 'ret el in one knight's fee in
Flintham and Xavenby. (Testa, I., fol. 850.) Hugh was living
circa 1172. Agatha, his daughter and heir married firstly Geoffrey
le Moine (Monach us), and secondly Humphrey, King John's cook,
ltanulph de Marscy, however, claimed to hold this fee in chief of
the King, as of the Honor of Lancaster, and Geoffrey and Agatha
having disseised him (Patent, 6 Jno., fol. oT>\\)9 he obtained a writ
of right against them, and recovered the estate. He died shortly
after, so that in the year 1212, his son being in ward ta the King,
the said Agatha was returned as holding the fee in chief.
Master Matthew, the Physician, had instituted a suit on behalf
1 These charters are omitted in tho Chancellor s Roll,
roll of 7 joiix (1204-1205.) 197
of the King against Gilbert fitz Peinfred and Hawise liis wife,
respecting the Church of St. Michael on Wyre, before Michaelmas
Term, 5 John. {Curia Regis Boll, No. 32.) Gilbert and Hawise
claimed to be patrons of the said church. In Hilary Term,
6 John, an assize came to make recognition if the said church of
St. Helen, of Garstang was a chapel belonging to the church of
St. Michael on Wyre, which was of the King's donation, being
held of the King by Master Matthew. The verdict of the Jury
was that during their time it had never been a cjiapel attached
to the church of St. Michael, but they always regarded it as a
mother church. Further, that in the time of Henry II., as also
in the time of the present King, when he was Count of Mortaip,
divers sworn inquests had been taken by discreet and aged men
of the County of Lancaster, respecting lands and other matters
which used to belong to the Crown, but they never found upon
oath that the said church of St. Helen belonged to the King.
(Curia Rrgis Roll, No. 36 ; Assize Roil, No. 1039, m. 3..)
De finibus et de sexto scutagio. — William Gernet succeeded
his father Benedict, in the office of Chief Forester of ] Lancaster,
during the year. He proffered 20 marks by way of fine " ne trans-
fretct," and for relief of his forest fee.
William de Yilers paid 2 marks for his fee in Newbold an(J
Owthorpe, and Walter de Staunton 5 marks for one fee jn Crop-
hill Butler and Kinoulton. These were the two Nottinghamshire
fees held by William le Boteler, who held of the Honor of
Lancaster (page 144). The descent of these fees is given in the
Testa de flevill, II., fol. 809 : "Pain de yilers, the first to be
enfeoffed, gave to William de Yilers, his son, the land of NewboUl
by military service, which William II, son of Pain II [son of
William I, son of Pain I], holds [in 1212] by the same service.''
And again : " The said Pain I gave to [his son] Thomas de Vilers,
the moiety of Owthorpe, &c, in military service," which he pFob-
ably held in 1212, except one carucate there, which William de
Yilers held. The descent of the other fee is thus given : " Whilst
William le Boteler was in ward to lialph fjtz Bernard, [a former
Sheiiff], by the King's grant, lialph gave the township of Crophill
Butler to a young man [Walter de Stanton I], in marriage with
William's sister [Albreda], which Walter de Stanton holds [in
1212]." And again : " Tain de Vilers I gave to [his son], Thomas
.de. Yilers, the land of Kinoulton by military service . . . ,
whereof Robert de Vilers holds Kinoulton [in 1212] by the same
103 TUB LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
service." Robert de Vilers appears to have been son, or grandson
of Alan de Vilers, another son of Pain I.
The eijjht fees which William le Ik>teler of Warrington held
of the Honor of Lancaster, liad descended to him from his father,
Richard le Boteler, who bad acquired them by marriage with
Beatrice, daughter and heiress of Matthew de Vilers, eldest son
and heir of Pain de Vilers I. He answers in this Roll for a fine
of 20 marks, but wby his mesne teuai.ts also contributed to this
scutage, it does not appear.
In Norfolk and Suffolk, William Rosc-cline answers for the fee,
which in the lA John was in the hands of Geoffrey fitz Peter, for
the heir of William Blundel.
Roger de Moricux had replaced Matilda de Aubervill. He
held the fee in Tborpe-Morieux of Ralph de Ardern, who held of
the Honor of Lancaster.
Adam de Cock field held the half fee in Waldingfield of the
Earl Aubrey de Vere. (Lib. Rub. Smc.t pp. 181, 478.)
The half fee which William son of Hervey held in Boxted does
not appear to have paid scutage before this date.
Ralph Eraser held one fee in Anston, co. York, which Ralph
de Vernon possibly held in A John.
Geoffrey Lutrcl answers for one knight's fee in Croxton
Keriall, recently created out of the estates which the Porters of
Lyons lately held there.
William son of Simon now holds one knight's fee in Grimble-
^horpe, Welton le Wold and Cadeby, of the Honor of Lancaster,
which he held of Peter Malet, or which was formerly in the said
Peter's hands, who held of the heirs of Trussebut. (Testa de
Nevill, II., fuL8:*7.)
The Charters relating to Childerditch, (?) co. Essex ; Alswick (?)
and Essenden, co. Herts. ; and Green ford, co. Middlesex, were
postscriptive entries, and have no reference to the Honor of
Lancaster.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 JOHN (MICH. 1205-MICH. 1206).
Tn the account of the Corpus Comitatus the Sheriff claims
allowance for 23«. 4d. for expenses arising from the visit of the
Justices of Assize to Lancaster, in giving judgment and executing
justice ; for 100s. spent in the repair of the King's lodgings at
l^aneaster. Probably this expense was occasioned by the royal
visit to Lancaster in Feb. 1200.
JSy letters close dated at Lambeth, 28th April, 1206, the King
sent wurd to the Sheriff of Lancaster to cause thirty markates of
land to be assigned to Reginald, King of Man, within the Honor,
which he had granted to hiin in accordance with an agreement made
between them, for his homage and service, and further to certify
the King as to the details and locality of the estate so assigned.
Accordingly in his account the Sheriff claims allowance for twenty
lihrates, but we are not told where the estates lay, and probably
the grant was merely a charge upon the ferm of the county. (Close
Holly 7 John, in. 1.)
As the result of an inquiry, Roger, Constable of Chester
obtained the King's writ acquitting him of 70& yearly, which had
ROLL OF 8 JOHN (1 205-1 20C). 207
been claimed from him for some estate, probably Penworthani,
but of which no particulars are given.
An entry in this Roll informs us that Richard de Vernon had
been farming the issues of the Honor until Mich. 1205. But
during the last six months of his Shrievalty, which terminated at
Easter, 1206, he had officiated as Warden or Steward. In that
capacity Gilbert fitz Reinfred accounted during the present year
for £73 received as profit of the county. This would include the
issues of escheated estates, or those of which the King had the
wardship, and any casual profits. He claims allowance for 69s.
overpaid the previous year by his predecessor in office.
Tallagium factum per R. de Veteri Ponte. — This year the
King took a tallage from his demesne lands, including the two
boroughs of Preston and Lancaster, from various estates formerly
royal demesne, now held by serjeanly or in fee farm, and from all
estates which happened to be in his hands by reason of the heirs
being under age and in ward, as for instance the demesne lands
of Theobald Walter's fee of Weeton. The tallage was probably a
correlative of the seventh scutage of John, and was assessed by
Robert de Vipont and his associates, as part of the usual business
of Assize.
Amerciamenta. — Assizes were held at Lancaster on or about
25th Sept. 1205, the Justices being Simon de Patshull, James de
Poterne and Richard de Mucegros. They had imposed amerce-
ments in a dozen cases amounting in the whole to £4 6s. 8d.,
details of which were recorded in a roll which they had delivered
to the Treasury. Adam de Walton, Peter de Stalmine, son of
Robert, and William de Radcliffe each owed J mark for non-suits.
An agreement between Peter de Stalmine and William, Abbot of
Leicester respecting two oxg. of land in Cockerham, is preserved
among the Feet of Fines, co. Lane. No. 41.
Robert Grelley held a knight's fee in Willisham, co. Suffolk,
in chief of the King. In connection with the marriage of one of his
sisters, he had disseised his under tenant Osbert de Willisham,
who however recovered this fee by an assize of novel disseisin,
and the King seizing upon the opportunity of punishing the
disseisor, had amerced Robert Grelley 60 marks. The King
afterwards thought better of it, and sent word to the Barons
of the Exchequer, by letters close dated from Stourminster, the
3rd February, 1207, to acquit him of 30 m. and give him respite
as to the remainiug 30 m. during the King's pleasure. Afterwards
208 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
the balance of the amercement was remitted. {Close Roll, 7 John)
m. 3 ; 9 John, m. 5.)
Nova oblata. — Hugh cle Morton proffered 10 marks and a
palfrey for licence to marry Margaret, the eldest of the three
unmarried daughters and heiresses of Richard, son of Roger of
Woodplumpton, and to have her purparty.
Henry de Traffurd proffered 40s. for relief of half a carucate of
land with appurtenances in Traffurd ; an exorbitant fine for a
small estate held by a fee farm rent of only vs. per annum.
Adam, son of Adam de Kellet proffered 25 m. and a palfrey
for licence to marry Alice, daughter and heir of Geoffrey de
Gressingham, to his brother, and for the estate which she held of
the King in Gressingham, consisting of 6 oxgangs of land, viz.
4 oxg. in demesne and 2 oxg. in service. The King thereupon
sent word to Hugh de Nevill, the Forest Justice, to take security
for payment, and deliver seisin. Payment was to be made to the
Forest Exchequer and not to the Exchequer in London. (Fine
lloll, 7 John, m. 10.)
Philip de Strelley proffered 10 m., a palfrey and a falcon, for
licence to marry the youngest daughter of Richard, son of Roger.
This was probably Queuild, as to uhosc marriage there was a
dispute between the King and the Earl of Chester. She held of
the King in fee farm, but of the Earl by military service. (Testa,
II. fol. 804.) Next year however, she gave 60 m. and two
palfreys to be allowed to marry whom she would, and for her
share of the inheritance which fell to her from her father, and
from Margaret Kauastrc, her mother. Eventually she married
Koger Gernet of Halton, Chief Forester of Lancaster.
William, son of Kichard of Foul ton (i) proffered 1 m. for a
"praecipe quod reddat" against Adam, the Dean of Kirkham, for
possession of the land which Adam had received with the wardship
of the said William (pp. 48, 158).
Kobert de Stockport died before Mich. 1206, whereupon
Matilda his widow, who had assumed her mother's name of
Pianastre, proffered 20 m. and a palfrey that she might not be con-
strained to marry against her will, but with the King's licence and
consent in case she wished to marry, and for her purparty of the
estates of her father Richard, son of Koger, and of her mother
Margaret Kanastre, with esnecy. These estates lieing in the
King's hands, the Sheriff of Lancaster was directed to take security
for payment of the fine, and to grant her seisin ; the Sheriff of
koll of 8 joiix (120.J-120G). 200
Leicester was likewise directed to give her seisin of land in
Appleby lying in his bailiwick. (Fine Roll, 7 John, m. 4.)
In like manner William de Milium and Avice his wife,
another co-parcener, and Thomas de Beetham and Amuria his.
wile, also a co-parcener, made fine by 20 m. and 40 m. respectively,
for their share of the inheritance.
ltobert, son of Bernard, son of Ailsi, thane of Goosnargh, died
before Mich. 1206. Accordingly Hugh de Mitton, Oliver son of
Nigel de Longford, and Richard de Catterall, son of Swain,
proffer 20 m. and a palfrey to be put, in seisin of 12 oxg. of land
in Goosnargh, held of the King in thaiiage, which was the
inheritance of the three daughters of the said Robert, whom they
had respectively married. The Sheriff was directed to deliver seisin.
Adam de Prestwich proffers 5 m. for his relief, and for seisin
of the land which was in the King's hands by reason of the
decease of his father Robert de Prestwich (page 157).
Benedict Gernet died before Mich. 1200. He had succeeded
to the Chief Forestership after the death of his lather, Adam
Gernet, temp. Henry II. That sovereign granted to him the
privilege of being sued for any tenement which he held in his
demesne, only before the King or the Chief Justiciar. This
King John confirmed, by charter which passed at Fakenham,
8th Nov. 1200, and in addition took him into his protection
with all his belongings, describing him as "our Forester," and
ordered the Justices and others to safeguard his property as they
would the King's own demesne. (Charter Roll, 1 John, m. 21.)
His widow Cecily was the daughter of Roger de Hut ton (Coder-
mnd Chart ulary, p. 107, n). She proffers 100,?. for the King's
letters to put her in seisin of her reasonable dower in her late
husband's free tenement, i.e. the Forest Fee. William Gernet
fined for his relief the following year.
Henry de Redman proffered 40 m. for the wardship of Roger,
son and heir of Roger de Heaton, lately deceased (1204), and for
licence to marry the heir to his daughter. The estate was Bourn
Hall in Thornton, and lands in Weesham (page 186).
The Abbot of Furness had been amerced in the sum' of
500 m. for an offence against the Forest,1 the nature of which
1 The Fine Boll entry differs from that in the Pipe Roll "ut
quietus sit de misericordia quingentarum m. unde amerciatus fuit per os Regis pro
foresta." He had been amerced at the King's expense, for an offence against the
Forest.
P

we can only surmise. The King afterwards pardoned 300 m.
of this exorbitant amercement, and the Abbot proffered two
palfreys in consideration of this remission. (Annates Fames.
page 171.)
Henry de Walton, Gerold de Clayton, Elias de Pendlebury,
Richard de Singleton, son of Tghtied, and Jorwerth de Hulton,
all held serjeanties in the county. The composition by fine for
the King's confirmation of their respective estates and offices was
an act of extortion.
Koliert de Ainsdale owed 20s. for the wardship of his nephew,
and the custody of his estate, presumably in Uarston.
Fines et Scutagia Militum. — The seventh scutage of King
John was levied at the rate of 20s. per fee. The tallage of the
tenants in thanage, drengage, fee farm and by serjeanty wdB
correlative to this scutage. The following names have not
occurred in the previous tallages taken in the 4th and 6th
vears : —
Matilda, daughter of Ughtrcd, son of Huck, 1 m. ; 1 car. in
Stainall in thanage.

scutage (page 184). This is Henry, son of Aiiot, who received
2 car. here from his brother Siward, who had been enfeoffed by
Kobert Molyneux in frank marriage with his (Robert's) sister.
(Testa, II. fol. 811.) He held by military service.

Swain de Hothersall, £ in. ; 2 oxg. in Hothersall, in fee farm
by 5s.
William Gernet, 5 m. ; for the Forest Fee.
Adam de Yseni, 20.$. ; probably for scutage on 5 car. in

Sal wick, Field-plumpton, etc., in thanage by 40s.
William de Gresley of Drakelow, 40<s. (page 21).

held of Adam de Billinge to acquit" him of the service of a judge-
ship.

Lathom, who held by military service.
John de Overton, £ m.; was probably reeve of the royal demesne

in Makerfield.

by serjeanty to be Bailiff of Amounderness.
Henry de Peudlebury, 1 in. ; an estate in Shoresworth, held of

Compotus TEKRAttUM. — King John restored Amounderness to
Theobald Walter soon after the forfeiture, which appears. to have
occurred in the 2nd year1 (page 120). The following is the
1 The following sworn statement was made by a jury at an inquest held at
Lancaster on the morrow of St. Matthew the Apostle, 37 Henry III, in pursuance
of a writ directed to the Sheriff to make inquiry touching the Manor of
Broughton ; dated at Windsor, 20th January, the same year. " Qui jurati dicunt

quae fecit in Aumundernes, eo quod cepit vi et in juste terras Eoberti filii

Kind's writ directing that restoration should be nimU1: "John, by
the grace of Go J, etc, to Geoffrey titz Peter, etc. We command
you to render seisin to our beloved and faithful Theobald Walter,
of the whole land of Anmndreness in its entirety, with all the
appurtenances, together with the com, as he had it when we
disseised him thereof. Witness myself, at Doui front (in Nor-
nuuuli/), 2nd January, [1202]. (Liberate Evil, 3 John, m. 2.) The
ferin of the Wapentake was a standing revenue amounting yearly
to £29 9.s. -W., of which sum £lo represented the old and new
term of the borough of Preston. The perquisites or small fines of
the Wapentake Court amounted to £4. The standing rents of the
free tenants amounted to £19 Is. The issues of the demesne
cultivated bv villeins amounted to £11 6s. 8d. Total £63 18«.
111 comparing this account with the estimated ferm of Amounder-
ness in 1190, given on page 82, it must be borne in mind that the
present account also includes the liut-ler fee of Witheton (Weeton)
and Itawcliffc. After the death of Theobald's grandson in 1249,
the annual income of the whole Butler fee in Amounderness
only amounted to something under £50, according to an extent
then made. Probably the terms of King John's restoration of the
Wapentake to Theobald, provided that he should hold it for life
only.
Henry de Walton's estate in Wavertree, Walton and Formby
was in the King's hands during the year. The corn crop realized
70*. The reason for this seizure does not appear. It was restored
before 1212.
Hubert Bertram had been dispossessed of Frettenham when
King John seized the possessions of the Normans in England (note,

NOTES ON THE PIPE TvOLL OF 9 JOHN (MICH. 1206-MICH. 1207).
Nova oblata. — Richard de Pierpont gave £ m. for licence to
concord. In Trinity Term, 5 John, a suit was instituted in the
Curia Regis by Robert Grelley, claiming forty acres of wood in
Lostock and Rumworth against Richard de Pierpont. In Michael-
mas Term, Richard essoined himself dr viafo h'rti, and the knights
who ought to have viewed his sickness did not appear in eourx.
218 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
They were, Roliert son of Thore, Madoc de Halghton and Robert
Gogard. At the next hearing, Richard came and defended his
right, and prayed for a grand assize, to declare whether he had a
better right to hold that wood of Robert Grelley, or Robert to hold
it as his demesne. In Hilary Term, 6 John, the suitors were
pledged to sue on the quinzaine of Easter, and Ranulph, son of
Roger de Marsey, Roger de Middleton, Richard de Worsley and
William de Turton wrere named as the four knights, who should
elect twelve upon the grand assize. Finally on Thursday after
the feast of St Luke, 7 John, at the Exchequer in London, a final
concord was made between them, as the result of the finding of
the grand assize, by which Richard acknowledged the wood to be
the right of Robert, and rendered it to him, for which acknowledg-
ment Robert gave him a gold ring. (Curia R^gis Rolls, Nos. 81 to
35 ; Feet of Fines, temp. John, Lane, No. 40.)
Richard, son of Elias gave 1 m. for a writ. In Easter Term,
7-8 John, Richard son of Elias sued Jorwerth de Hulton for six
oxgangs of land in Hulton. Jorwerth did not appear, and was sum-
moned to answer the plea at a month after Michaelmas, the land
meanwhile being taken into the King's hands. (C. R. Roll, No. 42.)
Matilda, widow of Adam de Kellet, son of Orm (not Osbert as
stated in the Roll) gave 4 m. that she might not be constrained to
marry against her will.
Ralph de Bolrun gave a mark for licence to alienate to the
Monks of Cocker8and 3 oxg. and 3 acres of land in Bolrun,
which licence was necessary because he held by serjeanty.
(Cockersand Chartulary, fol. 121.)
Ralph de Standish gave 1 m. for licence to concord. In Hilary
Term, 6 John, he was suing Siward de Standish in a plea
respecting the right of presentation to the church of Standish. In
Easter Term, Ralph proffered 1 m. for licence to make a concord
respecting 2 car. of land in Standish and Langtree, and the
advowson of the church. (C. R. Rolls, Nos. 34 and 42 ; Feet of
Fiiws, temp. John, Lane, No. 42.) The final concord has already
been given (page 40).
Matilda de Kellet was suing Henry de Kellet during Easter
Term, 7-8 John, for 1£ car. of land in Kellet, and £ car. in Bare ;
but on the quinzaine of Holy Trinity, 8 John, at Westminster, a
final concord was made between them, by which Henry released
his claim to Matilda, who thereupon gave him 5 m. (C. R. Roll,
No. 42 ; Feci of F hies. temp. John, Lane, No. 43.) It appears that
roll of 9 johx (1206-1207). 219
Matilda held this estate in her own right, viz. a moiety of Over
Kellet and a moiety of Bare, and recovered it from Henry, who at
this time seems to have held the other moiety, either for life, or
during the minority of Gilbert, son of William de Kellet. Each
party paid a moiety of the fine for licence to concord.
In Michaelmas Term, 9 John, Adam son of Roger sued
Herbert de Ellel in a plea of warranty of charter of land in Ellel
and Thornbythwaite, which he held by his father's charter.
Herbert did not appear, and Gilbert the Forester and Thomas
son of Hugh, who were his sureties, were amerced. Grimbald
de Ellel and Kichard his brother, other sureties, were also
amerced, and Herbert was summoned to appear on the quinzaine
of St. Michael. A final concord was made between them at
Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter, 9 John, by which
Herbert warranted the charter of Grimbald his father to Roger,
son of Adam, father of the said Adam, son of Roger, viz., of 2 oxg.
in Ellel and £ car. in Thornbythwaite. The charter is quoted in
full, from which it appears that the gift was made to Roger, son
of Adam in frank marriage with Sueneva, daughter of the said
Grimbald de Ellel. Adam gave Herbert 10 m. for this warranty.
(C. B. Roll, No. 45, to. 6 dorso ; Feet of Fine*, Lane, No. 46.)
On the 23rd August, 1207, King John sent a writ to the
Sheriff to seize the forest of Lancaster into the King's hands, after
the death of William Gernet, who held it by serjeanty, and to
appoint some one, jointly with a Serjeant of Hugh de Nevill's, to
keep the said Forest. (Close Roll, 9 John, in. 5.) William
Gernet's proffered fine for confirmation of the Bailiwick of the
Forest had only been accepted during the fiscal year, and so
appears in this Roll. The covert of Toxteth and arable strips
belonging to the underwood of the Forest, i.e. clearings brought
under the plough, were appropriated from the fee which his father
Benedict Gernet had held, and reserved to the Crown.
Roger Gernet, brother of William, proffered 60 m. for the Baili-
wick of the Forest. Of 50 in. of this fine Philip fitz Helgot, fermor
of Kinver Forest, co. Stafford, sometimes called Philip de Kinver,
acquitted Roger, and it was transferred to the Staffordshire Pipe
Roll, where it appears as a debt from the 12th to 16th John. The
Sheriff was directed to see that Cecily the widow received her
dower in her husband's lands, and her third of his chattels. On
the 13th November, the King sent a writ to the Sheriff' notifying
him that the marriage of Cecily had been given to the Justiciar of
220 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Chester. (Close i?o//, 9 Jcilm, in. 11.) Her dower was awarded to
her in Fishwiek. In the 9 Henry III., William Gernet,son of the
above-named William, claimed the Manor of Fishwiek from
William le Vilein, husband of the said Cecily. They vouched to
warrant Roger (.ternet. P>y line levied at Westminster, on the
Octave of St. Hilary, William Gernet released his right in the
said Manor to William and Cecily, for whi^h acknowledgment
lioger granted to him i car. of land in Crophill, co. Nottingham,
which William had formerly held of him, to hold by forinsec
service due from £ car., when 21 car- made one knight's fee.
Apparently Crophii* was a member of the Forest fee of Lancaster.
Hugh de Moreton proffered a palfrey for the pasturage of the
underwood of Simonswood, without detriment to the Forest, which
pasture belonged to the Manor of Kirkby, which he held jure

NOTES ON THE PIPE KOLL OF 10 JOHN (.MICH. 1207-M1CH. 1208).
The Sheriff claims allowance of 14s. for the ferm of Formhy
for the half year since Easter, 1208, when the King, as the result
of an inquiry respecting the seizure of this estate from Richard,
son of Roger, into his hands, when he was Count of Mortain,
restored it to Hugh de Moreton, to whom it belonged jure xuoris.
For tins inquiry Hugh had proffered 20 m., a sarcelle hawk, and a
bracket, as appears by the Nova uhlata this year. Forniby was an
estate of 3 car., two-thirds of which were now held by Hugh de
Moreton in thanage, for the ancient service of 28*, and an
increment of 6s. 8d., the remaining one-third by Quenild de Kirk-
dale by serjeanty.
The Sheriff also claims allowance of £8, " in the default of West
Derby, which has been removed to Liverpool." This allowance,
which had been assessed by an inquest, continued until the 12th
year and then ceased. The explanation of this entry is to be
found in the following extract from the Patent Roll : —
" The King to all who desire to have burgages in the town of
Liverpool, greeting. Know ye, that we have granted to all persons
who shall take burgages at Liverpool, that they may have in the
town of Liverpool all the lilyerties and free customs enjoyed by
any free borough on the sea coast; and therefore we send you
word that ye may go thither securely, and in our peace, to take
your burgages and dwell therein ; and in testimony hereof we
transmit to you these our letters patent. Witness — Simon de
rateshull, at Winchester, on the 27th day of August, in the
9th year of our reign." (Patent Hall, 9 John, m. 5.)
It seems that in order to increase the importance of the new
borough of Liverpool, the greater part of the population of West
Derby was removed to the former place to iill the burgage tene-
ments of that rising town, and the public were invited to settle
there by the above proclamation. The process of removal lasted
three years, during which period the issues of the land of West
Derby ceased. No doubt the increasing revenue which had been
derived from Liverpool for some years past, since the Crown had
acquired it by exchange for Litherland (page 128), had annually
appeared in the account of the " profit of the County."
De obiatis. — Roger, Constable of Chester, this year pays
£39 5s. 3d. in reduction of the old fine due from Hugh Bussel
and Robert his brother, for Penworthani (page 161).
220 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE KOLLS.
Commits teruari'm Theobaldi Walterl— Upon the death
of Theobald Walter, Robert le Yavassor proffeied 1,200 m. and
two palfreys for the marriage of his daughter Matilda, Theobald's
widow, and for her dower in her late husband's English and Irish
estates, " excepting Amounderness," where she was only 10 have
dower in Marton, ami in the fee of Weeton, which had formerly
belonged to Theobald's father, Hervy Walter. (Fine Boll, 9 John,
m. 1L> The writ to the Sheriff of Lancaster, and to other Sheriffs
to deliver seisin, was dated at Carlisle, 19th February 1206. It
was followed by another dated at Brook, 22nd July 1207, direct-
ing the Sheriff to give Matilda her third part in Marton, which
Theobald first held for 12*. vearlv fenn, but afterwards for an
osprey hawk, ami in Weeton, Treales and Rawcliffe, and further
to put lioliert le Yavassor in seisin. On the 1st October following,
seisin was ordered to lv given to Fulk ritz Warren and Matilda
the willow, whom he had taken in marriage. (Close £oll9 7 John,
m. 3: 8 John, m. 16, m. 14.) He undertook to pay the tine which
Huliert le Yavassor had proffered, himself finding 44 sureties for
the payment of 600 m., and the said liobe rt. and William, brother
of Fulk becoming sureties for the other GOO in. (Fine Holt, 9 John,
m. 3. m. S <fu)'*>.)
Xova ohlata. — Richard de Meath's proffer for an assize of
novel disseisin ou behalf of William de Appleby and Godeholf his
wife, against Eoliert de Monhaut anil his associates, relates to a
moiety of the Manor of Sale. co. Chester.
William de Yernoii, who had been Richard de Yemen's deputy,
as Ciutfvs of the Honor in the 7 John, had Wen arrested upon some
river bank in Northamptonshire, on what grounds does not appear.
He married Margery daughter of Robert de Stockport, by his wife
Matilda, daughter of Richard son of Roger. The said Eobert gave
him the Manor of Little Appleby, co. Leicester, and the advowsou
of the church of (treat Appleby. (XichoTs Z«r iV«\*/«t, vol. iv. p. 432.)
This estate had formed part of the inheritance of Matilda de Stock-
port, who also held ten marcates of land in Kirmington. co. Lincoln.
These estates hail descended to her from her mother, Margaret
daughter anil co-heiress of Thurstan Ranaslre.
Agatha Bretel, wid«»w of Geoffrey le Moine. proffered 60 m.
and a palfrey for dower in her husband's estate in Flintham (page
196), and for her own inheritance, and lilierty to marry whom she
would.
Adam de Kellet, son of Orm, had proffered one-third of 10 m.
koll of 10 joiin (1207-1208). 227
for the assistance of the King's Court against Roger Gerriet, who
owed him that sum.
De placitis FOUESTiE. — The entries under this heading relate
to various transactions which came under the jurisdiction of the
Forest Justice, such as arrears of fines for relief, proffers for writs
of right, and arrears of amercements, William Gernet, William
le Boteler, and Adam, son of Adam de Kellet, each owed portions
of their fines for relief. Althorn de Barton (in West Derby
hundred ? ) paid £ m. for a defective suit. Richard de Vernon
£ in. for the chattels of Leofwin de Hale, probably forfeited for
felony. The Sheriff owed \ m. for small fines or amercements
probably arising from woodmotes. Robert de Ryrom had
discharged his debt of 20 m. by a payment to the King's Court
or Palace, viz. 10 in. for licence to withdraw from a dispute with
his man, Blackoker, against whom he had been unable to procure
a writ of right ; and 10 m. for a destre, or war horse, from Richard,
son of Roger, for which he had been called to answer by the King's
writ. The balance of Roger Gernet's fine for relief of his brother's
forest fee, for which Hugh de Nevill was surety, and Roger's under-
taking to pay his brother's debt to the Exchequer, are again noted.
Elias de Pendlebury owed 1 m. for a prmcijK quod reddat against
Jorwerth de Hulton respecting 40 acres of land in Pendleton.
A considerable portion of Lonsdale and Amounderness had
been laid waste by the Conqueror during his northern campaign
in the years 1069-1070. Probably Henry I. afforested every
Lancashire township which was lying waste in the year 1103,
when Roger the Poictevin forfeited his estates. Consequently
King John's charter of liberties of the forest, which he had
granted to " the knights and thanes dwelling in the Porest of
Lancaster," -i.e. under the jurisdiction of the Forest laws in the
county of Lancaster, covered a large number of townships, and
included all, or the greater number of those held by serjeanty.
The compotus of Brian de l'lsle of the lordships of Knares-
borough and Laxton or Lexington, which were then in the King's
hands — the one as security for Nicholas de Stutevill's relief, the
other during the minority of Matilda, daughter and heiress of
Robert de Cauz — is enrolled at the end of the Lancashire Pipe
Roll of this year.

NOTEH OX THE PIPE ROLL OF Jl JOHN (MICH. 1208-MICiI. 1209).
Two items of ex])enditure by the Sheriff call for notice. Seven
wooden towers ready for conveyance, and doubtless intended for
use in the campaign in Ireland, bad been provided by the Sheriff
according to orders, at the cost of .£:> each. The maintenance of
two ottrr pens or cages, with fourteen otter hounds, amounted to
(Kk Tlie Pi]ir Pull*, tbe Lih'nttvtani{ the Misa: Hulls contain many
entries relating to tin* Kind's ex]>euditure upon hawks and hounds.
A large sporting establishment travelled with the Court.
Nova oulata. — The Abbot of Seez proffered 200 m. and two
palfreys for a composition with the King touching the presentation
of a Prior to the Priory of I-ancaster, on the following basis— that
upon a vacancy the Abbot should present two of his monks to the
King, who would then admit one or the other of them. On the
part of tbe Abbot it was agreed that no Prior was to be removed
without the King's consent. The Abbot also proffered 30 m. for
licence to cross the scaaiiain to Xormandv.
Peatrice, widow of Hugh de Mittou, proffered 15 m. that she
might not be constrained to marry against her will.
Adam de AVigan proffered 1 m. for a writ to amove his suit
against Thomas, son of Yvo, respecting the latler's nativity, out of
the county into the King's Court. An entry in the Patent Poll proves
that he was vicar of Wigan. Upon the resignation of Kanulph,
Treasurer of Salisbury and parson of the church of Wigan, King
John gave that church to Robert Durham, his clerk, by virtue of
his right of gift, Makerlield being then in his hands after the death
of Warin Banastre " qui in fata concessit." I»y letters patent
roll of 11 john (1208-1209). 233
dated 23rd April, 6 John, the King presented him to Geoffrey,
Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield for institution, saving to Adam,
clerk of the Church of Wigan and perpetual vicar, the vicarage
which he had in that church. {Patent Boll, 6 John, m. 2.)
Amerciamenta per S. de Pateshull. — Simon de Pateshull,
Adam de Port, Henry fitz Hervy, Robert de Percy, Alexander de
Pointon, Henry de Northampton, Ralph Hareng, and Geoffrey de
Lisle or some of them, held assizes at Lancaster during the week
commencing 5th October, 1208. The Roll of these Justices of
Assize for Lancaster is not extant, but the record of final concords
concluded before them are preserved among the Feet of Fines for
Lancashire. Amercements in cases not particularized amounted to
£261 8s. 5d. ; in those of which details are given — amounting only
to eight— to £17 6s. Sd,
Robert Grelley was suing Richard, son of Robert for the services
and customs which he claimed from him, for a tenement in Allerton.
Richard had denied his liability, but afterwards made concord and
rendered the tenement which he had held — releasing all his claim
therein — to Robert, who gave him 40s. (Feet of Fines, temp. John,
Lane. No. 59.)
Robert and Adam, both of Preston, and Roger de Claughton
each owed J m. for licence to withdraw their plea?.
Jordan, son of Hugh de Mitton proffered 20s. to be put in
frankpledge again, which meant, in other words, that he might be
discharged from prison, as appears in the Nova ohlata this year.
His father died during the previous twelve months.
Eudo de Longvillers was suing Reiner, son of Peter for four
oxgangs of land in Birtwistle in the township of Hapton, by writ
of assize of mort d'ancestor. Reiner made concord and acknow-
ledged Eudo's right to that land ; whereupon Eudo granted three
oxgangs of it to Reiner to hold by the yearly service of 6s., acquit-
ting him of the service due to the chief lords. For this grant
Reiner released his claim in the fourth oxgang, and exchanged with
Eudo twenty acres of these four oxgangs, which Thomas, son of
Gospatric formerly held, for twenty acres of land of the oxgang
which remained to the said Eudo. {Feet of Fines, temp. John, Lane.
No. 52.) Birtwistle had been given to Eudo by Robert de Lacy.
(Hist, of Whalley, II., p. 58.)
Elias de Peudlebury's amercement of 20 m. for a transgression —
of which a moiety was -pardoned — probably has some reference to
a dispute with Jorverth de Hulton about land in Pendleton.

NOTES ON TUE PIPE ROLL OF 12 JOHN (MICH. 1209-MICn. 1210).
At this time large additions appear to have been made to
Lancaster Castle. Upon the erection of new lodgings for the King
within the castle, the large sum of £352 3s. Id. was expended.
The work was supervised by John de Torrisholme, a Serjeant,
Walter the reeve, and Roger, son of Dunn.1
The following stores were purchased by the Sheriff during the
year for the use of the army in Ireland : —
117 qrs. of wheat at 5s. the qr.
113 qrs. of oats at Is. 2d. the qr.
200 bacon hogs at Is. Gd. each
500 cheeses at 5rf. each
2 tuns of wine
1,900 horse shoes and nails at \d. each ...
2G0 cockerels at %d. each
Carriage of corn and bacon to Ireland ... 3 10 0
To defray this unusual expenditure the Sheriff appropriated
the profit of the county for two years, viz. £159 12s. 2d. ; and
the following receipts — new ferm of manors (royal demesne),
£14 3s. 6t/. ; Margaret, widow of Si ward, 16d. for the third
part of a toft, which she held in dower ; the ferm and issues of
Amounderness, £27 0s. 2d. ; the aid of the free tenants in the
county, £131 IGs. 4rf. ; issues of a moiety of the pasture of
Kaskenmoor, 12s. dd. Total £173 13s. lOd.
Roger, Constable of Chester, liquidated a further £20 of the
Bussel's fine for Penwortham, and produced a writ royal granting
1 In a recent paper upon Lancaster Castle, by Edward W. Cox, read before the
Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, on the 5th November, 1896, and
printed in the transactions of that Society, N.8., Vol. xii, p. 93, the writer states
that " the tower called Adrian's is of transition period, most likely built in the
reign of John ; and its curtain waU and the now destroyed round tower to the
north, that stood close to the south-west angle of the keep, are of the same period."
The same writer attributes to thin period the round staircase turret on the inner
side of the great gateway, and probably also tiie deep vault below the well tower.
This opinion seems to find confirmation in the outlay recorded above.

acquittance of Robert Bussel's old tine of 100 m. for tin inquest,
which writ was in the ollice of the Marshal of the Exchequer.
The town of South Kelsey, co. Lincoln, had escheated to the
King. It was held for one knight's fee of lioger de Montbegou.
Possibly William de Nevill, who died before Easter, 1211, had
been mesne tenant.
This year the King took an aid from the free tenants of the
county towards the expenses of building the new lodgings in
Lancaster Castle. It was probably levied upon the same basis as
the recent tallages. The great military tenants in the count}' were
also invited to give assistance in making the ditches, as appears
from the following Letters Patent —
"The King to lioger, Constable of Chester, Roger de Mont-
begou, Robert de (Jrelley, and William le Boteler, &c. We beg
of you to give us the assistance of your men in Lancashire to
make the ditches round our castle at Lancaster, and our thanks
will be due unto you therefor, since we do not ask it by custom,
but this time only of your favour. Witness ourself at Clarendon,
on the 3rd day of November." (Putmt Jloll, 10 John, ///. 8.)
The Sheriff answered for Vis. 6<l. for the issues for the half
year of one moiety of llaskenmoor, which William de Nevill held
jure uxvfi*, one of the daughters and heiresses of Adam fitz Swain,
sometime lord of Hornby and Croston. Haskcnmoo*' was the
name of a district lying around Oldham. It has not been fully
identified.1
Since the 28fd March, 1208, the kingdom had lain under
interdict. In 1209 the King had been declared excommunicate,
and in revenge lwid seized the estates of the clergy. Roger,
Constable of Chester, had taken the Abbey of Slanlaw under
his special protection, and had proffered two good palfreys — which
the King had accepted* — to obtain for the Abbot and house the
safety and peaceable possession of their estates.
Richard de Singleton, son of Ughtred, died before Mich. 1211.
Tlis son and heir, Alan de Singleton, proffered 20 in. for livery of
his father's estates in Singleton and Uroughton, ami for confirma-
tion of the oftice of Bailiff of Ainounderness.
1 In the survey of 1212, Roger de Montbegon is returned as holding 14 oxg. of
land in Haskcneniore, inthanage, by 9*. 2\d. yearly, ami the moiety of a judgeship ;
William de Nevill at* having held 13 oxg. in the same place, nUo in th image, by
9*. 0\d. and the moiety of a judgeship; which Litter estate was then in the King's
hand*, because the heirs had not fined for their relief. (Testa, II, fol. 82 1)

KUJ'KS ON THE PIPE ROLL OF lo JOHN (MICH. 1210-MICH. 1211).
There are two Pipe Ilolls of Lane-aster for the 13th year of
King John, one, printed here in full, commences on the dorse of
m. 1, Roll 57, the other, containing some variations given in the
footnotes, and additions printed within »«piare brackets, commences
on the dorse of m. 12, Roll No. 50.
In tlie Cm-pus Comitatm the grant to Robert le IJous was
entered as if withdrawn at Easter, 1211, but this was afterwards
cancelled, and the grant withdrawn at Mich. 1210. The reason of
this escheat does not appear. On 2.*>rd September, 1216, a writ
was sent to the Sheril! of Lincolnshire to deliver to Oliver do
Ponlchardon, the land in Navenby which formerly belonged to
Kobert le Rous. {Close Holt, 18 John, //*. 2.)

supply 200 halbcrriecrs from his county : " The King to the Sheriff of Lancaster,
(inter alio*), eit\ We command you to cause to be sent to us from our county (or
honor) of Lancaster, from our demesnes and escheats, and from those who will not
come to arms, and from the abbots and priors of your bailiwick, two hundred true
men, strong and healthy, with halberds, and so that there be among them some
who know how to betake themselves to carpentry, for the which we shall be
grateful to you. So also that they be ready and quick to enter upon our service.
You shall cause their victuals to be provided by those for whom they are sent, for
forty days from their arrival at Chester. Send also with them one of your clerks
and four Serjeants to view and keep account of those who come, how they come,
whose names you shall certify to us, and for whom they have been sent. Witness

The l-alance of Hu^li de Morton's fine for liverv of 2 car.
of land in Formhy is recited, but seisin does not appear to have
been delivered, for the Eoll adds: — "fie need not be summoned
(to the Exchequer to render account) because lie has not received
seisin, nor can he have it for what he has promised." Injustice
of this character towards his subjects was habitual to the King at
this period.
Amkikiamenta per Sahekum Com. Wixt. — There is nothing
to show that assizes were held this year at Lancaster. The pleas,
some 2T> in number, from which amercements amounting to 59£m.
arose, had been hoard before Saier, Earl of Winchester, and his
fellow justices. The Earl, "Williun Ihiwere, and liichard de
Marsh were ]>arons of the Exchequer at this time. Xo final
concords relating to Lancashire for the reign of .John, of later
date than the 1.0th year, are to be found, except one dated at
York in the 12th year. The numerous breaks hi the continuity
of the Public I^cords at this time disclose the state of disorgani-
zation of both the fiscal and the judicial affairs of the kingdom
during the latter half of the reign.
Nova oislata. — Gilbert de Kcllet proffered 20 m. and a palfrey
for livery of his estate. He was son and heir of William de
Kellet, whose death was noted in the 1st year (page 110). He
takes the place of Henry de Kellet, who may have been his uncle
or guardian.
The Prior of Lmcaster proffered 2 m. for a writ to amove his
suit out of the countv court, into the Curia LVins.
1)E Scuta do Scotlk. — There is no reference in the Lan-
cashire Pipe ftolls to the Scutage of the 12th year of John, "Pro
liassaino Pegis in Hibernia." It is therefore to be assumed that
all the military tenants did service in person or by deputy, as in

the Seutage of Scotland here noted. Where levied, the rate was
iu both case3 2 in. per fee.
De ScUTAfiio Walli.k. — This seutage was put in charge this
year, also at the rate of 2 marks per fee. In the Honor of
Lancaster, 78 fees, A, }, and -^th part of a fee were returned as
owing service. In eighteen cases the ShrrifV collected the levy
due from 1(>, J, and T'4 fees (£22 8s. (>//.) ami the tenants of f>7,
§» £> 1 fees were in attendance upon the King. A balance
remained due from og fees. The entry relating to Knst-.ice de
Vesei is out of place; he held nothing of the Honor of Lancaster.1
The " Fees of the Ihissels " were Broughton, co. Leic, and Thorpe
Morieux, co. Suff., for which Roger, Constable of Chester, now
answers. The entrv relating to the Prior of Ware is also out of
place.
William de Ash ton, son and heir of Arthur de Ashton
(deceased before Mich. 1212), proffered 100*\ for livery of his
estate in Ashton in Amoundernes?. While in the King s hands
this estate had yielded A in. for corn sold.
Richard de Bold died before Mich. 1212. Adam, his son and
heir, proffered 100-s. for livery of 4 car. in Bold and La Quike
(or Lawycke). The issues while in the King's hands amounted
to 7s. Gd.
The heir of Matthew de Martin proffered 20 m. for livery of
his land in Martin, in West Derby hundred. The amount of this
fine is explained by a subsequent entry, where Matthew's chattels
are accounted for to the King. His father had probably " dis-
appeared about the time of the last Lancaster Assizes ! " The
issues of the land while iu the King's hands amounted to 20s. for
corn sold.
Henry de Middleton, son and heir of Si ward de Middleton
(deceased before Mich. 1212), proffered 2 m. for livery of ,\> oxg.
iu Middleton in West Derby hundred, which he held in tlianage,
by the service of u.s\, and the fourth part of a judgeship. The
issues receivable by the King amounted to '2s. ijtL

NOTES ON THE FINE KOLLS OF 15-17 JOHN (1213-1215).
Thurston Banastre's proffer of 60 in. by the hands of Geoffrey,
dean of Whalley, had been made with the object of obtaining an
inquiry by discreet men of the vicinage of Makerfield, whether the
fee of Makerfield ought to descend hereditarily to him, from his
father, Robert Banastre, and from his brother Warm, whose heir
lie declares himself to be, or not. On the 10th September, 1213,
the King, being then at York, sent word to the Sheriff of Lan-
caster, directing him to hold an . inquiry into the truth of
24S TFTF. LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Thurstan's declaration, because he had offered to give the King
500 in. in case the finding of the jury should be in his favour.
The inquiry was straightway held, and the finding of the jury
certified, for on the 14th October following the Sheriff was
directed to take security for payment of the fine of 500 m., and
to give Thurstan seisin. In the Pipe Roll of 1G-17 John, the
Sheriff accordingly claims allowance of £11 1 Is. 4rf. for two years'
fenn of Makerfield, which had passed from his custody at Mich.
12i:i.
Richard de Molyneux died during the autumn of 1213.
Adam, his son and heir, having proffered 40 m. for livery of
his lathers estate, was put in seisin by writ dated at Hanley
Castle, 24th November. The estate lay in Sel'ton, Thornton,
Kuerdeii, and ]>o\vn-Lithcrland.
Thomas Mussel and Henry his brother — younger brothers of
Hubert Russel, son of Geoffrey, who had been associated with
Hugh Bussel in the alienation of the barony of IVnwortliani to
Roger, Constable of Chester — and Mabel, widow of William
lhissi'1, proffer 1 mark for an inquiry whether Ralph de Standish
was indicting them for larceny wrongfully, and by hatred and
malice, or because they were guilty. The Justiciar was to be
certified as to the result of the inquiry, when the Curia Regis
would decide the case, in lieu of the County Court.
Robert de Ainsdale died during the year 1214, and was
succeeded by his eldest son Roger, who proffers 10 marks for
livery of four oxgangs of land in Great Crosby, to which estate
was attached the serjeanty or office of reeve of Crosby, and of the
forest of West Derby. Roger de Crosby (or de Ainsdale) died
before the 22nd March, 12o9, when he was succeeded by his
brother Adam.
Henry de Redman gives the third part of 10 marks in return
for the assistance of the Kings Court in recovering that debt
from Hawise de Stutevill, widow (1) of William de Lancaster II
(1170-1184), and (2) of Hugh de Morvill (1184-1202). She held
the lordship of Garstang in dower, and lands in Kirk Oswald and
I<azenby, co. Cumb.
Shortly before the year 1215, the Abbey of Furness had
received a grant of Rorrowdale in Cumberland from the Lady
Alice de Romilly. An account of this grant, and a copy of the
very interesting charter by which it was effected, is to be found
in the Annales Furnesicnses, pp. 173-5. The abbot proffers ten
roll of 1G and 17 Jonx (1213-1215). 249
palfreys for the royal confirmation of this grant, rendered neces-
sary in that the Lady Alice had for the second time become a
widow in 11 John, after the death of Robert de Courtney, having
no issue by either of her husbands.
The Trior of Cartmel proffers one palfrey for the amendment
of the royal charter of liberties granted to his house, by the
addition of the words "all his tenants" in that clause of the
charter which granted to the monks of that house, and to their
demesne, acquittance of suit of shire, wapentake, etc. The charter
of confirmation passed at Woodstock 2oth July, 1215 {Charter
lloll, 17 John, m. 5). In return for this confirmation the monks
relinquished their claim to 200 marks which the King had taken
from them during the late interdict.

NOTES ON TUB PIPE JtOLLS OF 10 AND 17 JOHN (MICH. 1213-MICII.
1215).
Adam fitz Roger, on behalf of Gilbert fitz Reinfred as cuslvs,
accounts for the ferm of the Honor for a period of two years.
William Colmose (or Corhnore), who appears to have been a
royal huntsman at Ongar, co. Essex, had received for his main-
tenance while in the King's service twenty-four solidates of land
in Hamblcton, to hold during the King's pleasure. This land
had been previously held upon the same terms by William de
Pilkington, viz., the service of 24>. yearly. The writ to the Sheriff
to deliver seisin is dated 18th June, 1213 (Close Roll, 15 John,
m. 2, m. 5.) l^ess than two years previously, this township, con-
sisting of three carucates of land, had been returned as held in
drenga^e tenure by the men of Ilamelton for 24s. yearly. (Testa,
II, f. 821.)
A fo\ry over the Mersey between Hale and Runcorn had
254 TIIK LANCASHIRE PIPE KOLLS.
formerly yielded an annual ferm of 20s., which had not been
forthcoming for two years past. An inquest called to inquire
into the cause of the default testified to the want of a boat,
perhaps also of ferrymen, and the Sheriff had accordingly received
the King's authority to ease his ferm by 3 m.1
On the 21st June, 1215, the King sent word to the Sheriff
to give "to our dearly beloved and trusty" subject, Roger de
Montbegon, eighteen solidates and eight denariates of rent, to wit
the service of William de Tatham in Tatham and Ireby, " which
we gave him whilst wTe were Count of Mortain," to hold by the
service of a sor sparrow hawk. (Close Roll, 17 John, m. 31 )
Accordingly the Sheriff eases his ferm of 37s. 4(1. for the past two
years.
By charter dated at Freckenham 28th July, 121G, King John
jmve to Cockersand Abbev two carucates of his demesne land at
Newbigging, near Singleton, which used to render lG.s. yearly, by
the hands of the Sheriff, to hold by the yearly service of 20s\,
payable at Lancaster at Michaelmas and Easter. The grant also
included a wide range of franchises. (Charter Roll, 17 John, part 1,
m. 5 ; Cockemmd Cfiartulary, p. 40.)
The Sheriff had recently purchased large quantities of provisi
for the munition of Lancaster Castle, viz. : —
240 qrs. of wheat, at 3s. 4d. per qr.
121 qrs. of barley, at 2s. 6d. per qr.
400 bacon hogs, at 2s. 7d. each . . .

puted in the Pipe Roll, outside the corpus tvmitatus. Total
£542 8s. li)d. The balance of £146 6s. 4±d. remained to be

Thomas de Burgh had married Sarra, daughter and heiress of
William de Xevill. He now answers for the old debt of 15s. due
from his father-in-law upon the second scutage. He had, however,
answered for it in the Yorkshire Koll of the 15th year.
A comparison of the "oblata" of this Roll, and of the 13th
year, proves the loss of the Roll for the 15th year. It is al.so
referred to in the present Roll (page 251), and appears to have
contained particulars of the eyre of the forest Justices.
De placitis forest.*;. — A forest assize had been held within
the county during the fiscal year ending at Mich., 1213. It seems
hardly possible that the estates of the persons amerced by the
forest Justices could have fallen in all cases under the jurisdiction
of the forest, widely extended as that area was. Possibly the
forest Justices also dealt with cases of ordinary assize.
Peter de Healey held an estate in Healey, in Chorley township.
Roger de Stanworth, of Stan worth, in Wheelton, had acquired thi>t
estate in marriage with one of the daughters and heiresses of
William, sou of Alan, lord of Gumiolfs moors. The Abbot of
256 THE lAXr.WSIIIUK PIPE ROLLS.
Chester's ani?rcement was in respect of his estate of one carucatc
of land in Kufford, acquired in almoign from Richard Bussel;
that of the Trior of Thetford was in respect of lands in Croston
and Tarleton, granted by Koger de Montbegon. (JfonmticoH, V,
]). 144.) Thomas de Cophill, probably father of Kichard, son of
Thomas, who gave lands in ( -oppull to Burscough Briory, was lord
of that township. These estates all lay in Leylandsliire.
Hubert de Clayton owed 12i m. and a palfrey for confir-
mation and livery of the oflice of bailiil' of Leylandsliire, a
serjeanty previously held by Ceroid de Clayton, now probably
deceased.
Kanulf de Marsey died before 11 John, his son and heir,
Koger, being in ward to Kustace de Morton when the survey of
1211-12 was made. Isabel, the widow, owed o7 m. and a
palfrev for licence to marry whom she would.
Nova ohlata. — Alan de Singleton, son of Kichard, pro Hers
20 in. to have to wife Alice, daughter and co-heiress of William de
Winwick, son of Hubert, together with the share of her father's
tenements which was her inheritance. The estate consisted of
live carucates of land in Thornton, in Amounderncss, cum- memhris,
held of the King in thanage by the yearly service of 20.$. Hubert
de Winwick had given one carucatc of this land, in Steyna, to
Ughtred, son of Huck, grandfather of Alan de Singleton aforesaid,
who was tenant thereof in the year 1212. (TV*/,/, 11, f. 820.) The
marriaue of the other daughter and co-hcimss, Margaret de Win-
wick, had been purchased by Baldwin Bhindol for 20 m., not-
withstanding which, after a proffer of 10 m. bv Gilbert fitz
Keinfred had been refused, we find that she had surreptitiously
married Michael de Carleton, who afterwards — viz, 27th January,
1221 — made line by payment of 10 m. to the King for pardon
in marrying her without licence. (Fine 7tV/, F> lien. Ill, m. 8.)
Upon the death of Margaret, or Margery de Winwick in the year
1258, her purparty descended to her sou Kichard de Thornton, and
in the vear 1320 Lawreuce, son of Robert de Thornton, held a
moiety of the manor of Thornton by homage and service 8s. The
other moiety descended in the family of Singleton, and subse-
quently passed by marriage to the Banastres, being held in 1320
bv Adam, son of William Banastre.
Jorwerth de Uultoy,*un of Bleddyn, died before Mich., 1215.
Kichard, his son, pnuiu/i a line of 30 in. for his relief of that
portion of his father's estate which was his inheritance. Accord-
ROLL OF 16 AND 17 JOHN (1213-1215). 257
ing to the Hulton pedigree, Kichard was the second son, and
Robert the eldest; but it is more than probable that Richard
was the eldest, as he is here named as paying relief. The names
borne by the two earliest known members of this family suggest
kinship with that Jorwerth, son of Bleddyn, son of Cynfyn, who
was the leader of the party of Welshmen whom Henry T. won over
to his side during the rebellion of Robert of Belesme in the year
1102, and who was defrauded by that sovereign of the lands which
had been promised him, and kept in prison for several years.
{Freeman s Norman Conquest, V, pp. 173, 211.)
William le Boteler, of Warriugton, owed a charger for a
petition from the King to Aline de Fumess, widow of William
le Fleming, that she would take him in marriage. She had
previously purchased the right to marry whom she would
(page 185). The petition was successful, and shortly afterwards
she became his wife.
On the 1st August, from Bridgenorth, the King sent word
to the Sheriff to take security from Richard de Meath, clerk,
for the payment of four palfreys, and thereupon to put him in
seisin of his estates in Walton, Formby, and Hale. The woods
and the tallage of villeins were reserved to the King, and further
the said Richard was not to levy any distress upon that land
or upon the villeins. {Fine Roll, 17 John, vi. 7.)
Gilbert fitz Reinf red's fine of 12,000 m. has reference to an
episode in the barons' war with King John in the autumn of
1215. On the 8th October William de Albini and a number
of other barons and knights threw themselves into Rochester
Castle, and held it on behalf of the barons against the King,
who commenced to besiege it on the 11th October. On the
30th November the garrison surrendered. Among the defenders
were Gilbert fitz Reinfred, his son William de Lancaster, and his
knights Ralph de Aincurt and Lambert de Bussi. To obtain the
King's pardon for himself and the release from imprisonment
of his son and knights, and that all claims against him for the
past up to the feast of the Purification (2nd February, 1216)
might be remitted — saving his reasonable account, without
vexation for the time during which he was the King's bailiff —
Gilbert proffered the above fine.1 To ensure faithful performance
1 This confirms the supposition that the Exchequer had never received any
account from the Sheriff of Lancaster for the 14th and 15th years of King John.
Probably the accounts had been lost during the disturbances of that period. In

of his service to the King and payment of the fine, the following
hostages were required, viz.: — Benedict, son and heir of Henry de
Redman ; the eldest son of Roger de Kirkliy by his wife, the
daughter of the said Gilbert; the foii and heir of William de
Windlesorc by his wife, the niece of the said Gilbert; the son or
daughter being heir respectively of Ralph de Aincurt, Roger de
Rurton, Adam de Yealand, Thomas de Rcethain, Walter de Strick-
land ; the daughter of Richard de Copeland ; and the son of Gilbert
de Lancaster. Further, the said Gilbert delivered up to the King
his castles of Morhull1 and Kirkby Kendal, to deal with as he
would. This was transacted at Berwick-on-Tweed on the 22nd
January, 1216, before Ranulf, Earl of Chester, William, Earl
Ferrers, Roger de Montbegon, and Alexander de Dorset. (Fine
Roll, 10 John, m. 6.) At the same time Gilbert, by his charter
attested by Ranulf, Earl of Chester, William, Earl of Ferrers,
Roger de Montbegon, and William de Cantelow, covenanted with
his lord John, the illustrious King of England, that all the days
of his life he would faithfully serve him, and his heirs begotten
of Lady Isabella, Queen of England, that he would not at any
time go against them, and that if he had made any oath to
the King's enemies, he would not hold to it, nor would he adhere
in any wise to the charter of lilierties which the same King
had obligingly made, which the lord Rope had annulled ; and
that if he afterwards withdrew from this compact, he would
incur perpetual disinheritance. For further security he found
the hostages named above, and surrendered his castles. (Clutrter
Hull, 17 John, Rt. I, m. 2, dorso.) Accordingly, on the 31st
January the King sent word to Robert de Vipont to give Gilbert
seisin of all his lands in the said Robert's bailiwick, but to retain
his castles in the King's hands. (Close Roll, 17 John, in. 11.)
The following were taken prisoners at the fall of Rochester
Castle, and delivered into the safe keeping of Peter de Maulay
addition to the fine paid by Gilbert for pardon, the King reserved to himself the
account for these two .yean*, to he made it]) as best it mi^ht under the circum-
stances. Probably Gilbert had to make up the lost account from memory.
1 A name now lost. From the JnquU. p. m. of Ingelram de Ghisnes, 17 Edw. II
(Esraeta, No. 60), it appears that the manor of Moureholme included part of the
township of Carnforth. Probably it was the rojml of that ]x>rtion of thc"De
Lancaster" fee in Lancashire which fell to the share of Lady Christiana de
Lindsay, comprising lands in Whitt'ngton, Warton, Moreholmo, Carnforth,

Scutage of Poictou. — This was the ninth and last scutage of
King John. On the 26th May, 1214, the King sent word from
Partenay, in Poictou, to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester,
then Chief Justiciar and Viceroy, to take a scutage at the rate of
3 in. on each knight's fee for the campaign in Poictou. {Close

APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Tiik Crown Estates, ok Royal Dkmesnk of the Honor of
Lancaster.
During the reigns of Henry II. , Richard I., and John, the
annual form of the Conutatits, i.e. the nett revenue received from
the Honor of Lancaster, amounted to £200, reckoned by tale,
irrespective of all increment of rent, increased value of the
demesne lands, escheats, and other new or casual revenue. This
Firma Com it a ■tun the Sheriff was supposed to collect, ami account
for yearly at the Michaelmas Audit, at the Exchequer. It is
proposed to give a short account hen1 of the various sources from
whence this revenue arose, the necessarv information having been
disclosed at various times in the Pipe Rolls.
Refore proceeding however to deal with the comitial estate, a
few words may be said upon the various tenures found within the
county. We have very little information as to the state of
property in the county, when Roger, the Poictevin resigned his
English fief to Henry I. Nor do we know when the greater
feudatories of the county were actually enfeoffed, or by whom; nor
the date? of creation of the various and considerable serjeanties
found in existence at the end of the 1-th century. Of the lands
granted in almoign we know more, but it is not proposed to deal
with those estates here, as some account of them will be given in
the series of charters printed and annotated at the end of this
volume.
The Clitheroe fief and the Widnes lief were the earliest to be
created. The first was given by Roger, the Poictevin, before 1086,
to Roger de Rusli and Albert Grelley. After they resigned this
fee, it was given to Robert de Lacy, between 1088 and 1102.
The Widnes fief was created before 1080, probably soon after
1070, when the Raronv of Haltou was created, of which it was
u member. The creation of the Molyneux fee of Sefton be-
APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS. 261
longs to the period between 1088 and 1102. Koger cle Mont-
begon, Pagan de Vilers, and Kobert Grelley are nampd in
the Lindsey Survey of 1114-1116; the first holding a large
fief under Stephen, Count of Mortain. But whether the tiefs
of Hornby and Tottington held by Montbegon, and Warrington
held by Vilers, were created by Koger, the Poictevin, by Henry I.
or by Count Stephen, after he received the Honor of Lancaster
from his uncle, c. 1114, must remain a matter of doubt in the
absence of any distinct evidence. As regards the Manchester lief,
there can be but little doubt that it was the estate of three
hides and half a teamland, held by Nigel in 1086 in the Hundred
of Salford. It is uncertain who Nigel was, but I am inclined to
think that he was dispossessed of this fief circa 1086-88, and that
when Albert Grelley resigned his share of the Clitheroe fief, he
received these three hides and half teamland in Manchester,
together with the lordship of various other estates in the hundreds
of Salford, West Derby and Leyland, in order that he might fulfil
the quota of knights which are afterwards found to have been due
from the fief of Manchester, as it existed in the 12th, 13th and
succeeding centuries. The Charter of Roger the Poictevin, which
will be found further on in this volume, by which he gave among
other possessions, tithes of his demesne lands in Lancashire to St.
Martin of Sees, distinctly shows that by far the greater part of the
demesne between Kibble and Mersey, as it existed in 1066, had been
granted to knights before 1094, in order to meet the military service
due from the Count's Lancashire fief. Kaskenmoor and Croston
came to Adam de Montbegon by marriage. The barony of Pen-
wortham was probably created by Henry 1., or Stephen, Count of
Mortain, but it is evident that Warine Bussel I. had been enfeoffed
of lands in the Wapentakes of Leyland and Amounderness
between 1088 and 1100, for a portion of the estate which he had
previously held, lying in Chippendale, Aighton, and Dutton, was
given by Henry I. in 1102, to Eobert de Lacy, as appears by the
abstract of a charter printed among the early Lancashire Charters
in the latter part of this volume. As there is no mention of Warine
elsewhere, nor of his name as a witness to any of Koger the
Poictevin's charters between 1088-1102 — although Geoffrey and
Albert Bussel attest one in 1094 — it seems probable that he died
soon after the accession of William Kufus. An endeavour will be
made later to throw a little light on the early history of this
Barony. It is said that the Makerfield fee was given to Kobert
262 APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Banastre, in compensation for the loss of his castle and fee of
Prestatyn, destroyed by Owen Gwynedd in 1167. In the Pipe
Roll of 12 Henry II., & /. Warwickshire, the Sheriff* claims allowance
of £10 paid to Robert Banastre, and £16 VtiAd. paid to two other
persons, for the munition of the Castles of Basingwerk, Rhuddlan,
and Prestatyn. This is the only reference to a Banastre in con-
nection with Prestatyn to be found in these Rolls. There is,
moreover, no evidence in the Pipe Rolls that the Banastre family
held anything in Makerfield in the reign of Henry II. ; on the
contrary, that district was tallagcd in the 15 Henry II. as if Crown
land. It seems probable, therefore, that after the loss of his estate
at PresUityn, Robert Banastre had a promise of Makerfield, which
was never carried into effect during his lifetime. The Walter, or
Boteler lief of Witheton (now Weeton), wits probably created by
Stephen, before he assumed the Crown ; the Lancaster fief in the
latter half of his reign.
The next important class of landowners wTas that of the
Thanes. Their status, as revealed in Domesday, was distinctly
servile in character, for they were bound by custom, equally
with the villeins, to repair the King's halls and fishponds, and
in the forest, the hedges of the enclosures, and the deer parks. In
autumn they were also bound to send their reapers for one day to
cut the King's crops. They rendered yearly two ores of pennies
i.e. 'old. for each team-land. At a later period their tenure partook
of a military character, and in the second century after Domesday
they were occasionally engaged in arms on behalf of the King or
chief lord, as for instance in John of Mortain's rebellion against his
brother Richard. In the Pipe Rolls they are repeatedly classi-
fied with the Knights (militrs). By the middle of the 12th
century, and probably much earlier, the servile duties enumerated
in Domesday had disappeared, doubtless compounded for in an
increased yearly money service. This varied from 5s. per carucate
in the lowest instance, to a rate three or four times greater. The
amount paid for relief was usually a sum equal to one or two
years money service, but before the date of Magna Charta, the
amount wjis often very exorbitant. Tenure by drengage appears
to have been very similar to that by thanage. The former term
seems to have been synonymous in Xorthumbria for thanage. To
give a list of Thanelands in Lancashire during the reigns ot
Richard I. and John, would absorb too much space. It must
suffice to say that they represented about 100 carucates, with to
APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS. 263
average yearly service of about 6s. 8d. for eacli carucatc. War
pestilence, and famine, during the period 1086-1153, had
destroyed many of this class, or had driven them to commenda-
tion, or villeinage.
A large area of land was held by serjeauty. To the office of
Chief Forester — a serjeanty held by the family of Gernet from the
time of Henry L— there was attached an estate of 21 carucates of
land. Other serjeanties brought the total to about 50 carucates.
Of the offices attached to these estates, besides that already named,
there were the following: — bailiff, or master serjeant of each of
the Wapentakes, judgeships, horn-blowing at the King's entry
into, and progress through the county, carpentry, gardening,
masonry, falconry, lardenery, provostry, farriery, forestry, and
a number of petty serjeanties. Many of these estates lay near
Lancaster, and testify to the large area of derelict lands in
Lonsdale after the Conquest, to the sparseness of the population
there, and the necessity of securing and retaining officers and
servants for the Castle, by these free grants of land.
The question as to what lands in the six hundreds, or wapen-
takes— which afterwards constituted the county of Lancaster-
lay within the jurisdiction of the Forest, cannot be definitely
answered. But it is probable that Henry I. afforested, or placed
under the Forest Laws, (1) all thane lands which fell into his
hands as escheats, in the year 1102, and subsequently, (2) all
estates belonging to serjeanties created during that period, or
then derelict and afterwards given to Serjeants, and (3) some
estates in the hands of the Crown in demesne. This supposition is
fortified by the knowledge that the " knights, thanes and free-
holders dwelling in the Forest," at frequent intervals during the
reign of Henry IT., paid large sums of money for respite from the
Eeguard of the Forest, and ultimately paid Count John of Mortain
the sum of £500 for the charter of liberties of the forest, which is
printed in cxtcvso at the end of this volume. The grievances of
this class before Magna Charta were very great, for they could not
assart an acre of woodland, or fell a tree, or pasture their cattle
freely, nor protect their growing corn, nor their flocks, without
living in fear of the next Eeguard. Ultimately the bounds of
the Forests were limited and defined by a perambulation made
iu 1228, when the whole county was disafforested according to
Magna Charta, except Quernmore, Bleasdale, Fulwood, Toxteth,
the wood of West Derby, and Burton Wood.

translation : —
"Tin? King to the Sheriff of Lancaster, greeting. We command you that
without delay you cause diligent inquiry to he made by dis-jreet and liege men of
your county, how much fcrin in the Corpus Comifitfus the pasture, of Rossale

which King John committed to Richard de Hultou. The inquest which you make
in that heliulf you shall certify to the Barons of the Exchequer, in the Quindene

made. At Westminster, L'Oth January, [1221]." (Close Holt, 5 Henry IIL, m. 16
do no.) The return was made, and in the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry III., the Sheriff* •
claim was allowed.
It in curious, to note that A.>l;ton and Black rod are described as being "of the
Honor of Pevcrel. " This has been referred to before (p. 3ii). By writ doted at
Oxford, 1 l'.h August, 1217, the Sheriffs of various counties wore directed to deliver
full seisin to "our beloved nnd faithful William, Earl Ferrers, of all his demesne
Ian K fee*, and scrvic: * of hi* men, due to him, of the Honor of Pevcrel, of the
chastelry oi Peak, in their respective bailiwicks. (Ctusc Roll, 1 Hen. III., m. 11.)
When the lief of Count Roger, the Poictc\in fell by forfeiture in the year 1102
into the hands Henry T., he probably gave those two small estates (und possibly
tome few other-) to William Pevcrel I., who attached thc:n to his Honor and Castle
of Peak. Before the year 111 t. the King created the Honor of Lancaster, out of
Count Roger's escheated lief, and partially out of those of Roger de Busli,
iHirand Malct, Erneis dc Burun and other?, with the addition of some few
manors of ancient demesne, and bestowed this •'comtec" upon his nephew Stephen,
Count of Boulogne and Mortain. I'pon the forfeiture of the Honor of Peferel in
1153, Ashton and Black red were to all intents and purposes annexed to the
Honor of Lancaster, and upon the accession of Henry III. they were given with
other estates of the Honor of Pevorel to William. Earl Ferrers, great -grandson of
Margaret, daughter and hcirc?* of William Pevcrel IT.

The sum total amounts to £315 6s. 10£rf., which must only be
taken as an approximate amount, various items of revenue having

some 78 knights' fees, sakefee from fees not enumerated above,
viz. Penwortham (£3 10s., page 207) ; Clitheroe, Widnes, &c.
The difference between this sum and the ferm of the Honor
(£200) represented the Sheriffs outgoings in the maintenance of
esquires and men-at-arms in the Castles of Lancaster and West
Derby, in the payment of various clerks and officials, who held
no lands by serjeanty, iu the cost of transmitting writs to Loudon,
in his own profit, and in many other outgoings and expenses
connected with the administration of the County and Honor.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY,
11th and 12th Centuries.
The following series of early charters has been selected from
Monastic Chartularies, the Public Records, Dodsworth's and
Towneley's MSS., and private muniments, with the object of
illustrating the history of the county from the Norman Conquest
to the end of the reign of Richard I. The first twelve series relate
to monastic foundations in co. Lancaster, in the order of creation,
and the subsequent series to grants and confirmations made by the
lords of the Honor of Lancaster, or their chief feudatories.
As such charters, together with the series of Pipe Rolls, printed
in the first part of this volume, practically constitute the only
available source of materials to illustrate the history of the county
during the century which followed the Domesday Survey, the
editor has thought it advisable to reproduce in the second part of
this volume those which he has so far collected, in the hope that
the list may be largely increased at some subsequent date.

This continuation charter of Henry 1 to the Abbey of St. Peter of
Shrewsbury, passed between the 4th April, 1120, the (late of the con seem t ion
of David, Bishop of Hanger, and the 19th Sept. 1122, when Ralph, Arch-
bishop of Canterbury died. The King herein confirm* Count Roger the
Poirtevin's giant of a moiety of the fishery of Thelwall, near Warrington,
i.e., that half of the fishery which lay on the Lancashire side of the Mersey,
for Thelwall was in Cheshire ; also two hamletH called Poulton n?>d Woolaton
lying near the fishery, being part of his demesne. Of the estates which
THE LANCASHIRE CIIAUTULAKY. 273
Godfrey, the Count's Sheriff had formerly held, at his prayerful entreaty the
Count gave the church of Walton on the Hill, and the church of Kirkham,
with land called Gai-ston, to procure the admission of Godfrey's son Achard,
as a monk in the said church of St. Peter. All these the Count confirmed in
frankalmoign, adding this, that whoever should seek to annul these gifts
should be anathematized.
It is important to note that as regards Walton, Godfrey had no longer
any power to alienate the church, for Count Roger had resumed possession
of this town, at the date of the grant, which would probably be soon after
the accession of Ruf us. The Sheriff earnestly petitions the Count to make a
grant of this church as a favour. In the confirmation of Henry II given
below, the church of Walton is described as of the gift of the Count, and
not of the Sheriff. I cannot help thinking that the lands which Godfrey
held in West Derby hundred before the temporary forfeiture of Count
Roger's estates c. 1075-1088, had not been restored when the Count recovered
possession.

This is a writ of King Henry I addressed to Stephen, Count of Mor-
tain, and lord of the Honor of Lancaster, commanding that the monks of
Shrewsbury should hold their moiety of the vill of Bispham free and quit
of all customs, pleas, and suits of the Hundred Court ; and that if any one
claimed ought against the men belonging to the monks of that house in his
Court, that they should do unto them right.
It is attested by Pagan fitz John, who was sheriff of Shropshire in 1129-
1130, and about that time Vitnessed other charters of Henry I. This writ
passed at Winchester, probably within two years preceding the King's
departure to Normandy on 2nd August, 1133, after which date he never set
foot in England again.

NOTES.
David, King of the Scots, was the son of Malcolm ('aiiumre, and brother
of Matilda, wife of Henry J, and of Maria, the wife of Eustace, count of
Boulogne, whose daughter Matilda was the wife of King Stephen. By his
mother, Margaret, daughter of Prince Eadward, and gr.o id -da lighter of
King Eadmund, l>aviil represented the eldest line of the Anglo-Saxon kings.
With the object of obtaining from King Stephen the renewal of the old
customary investiture of the Scottish heir-apparent with < 'umherland, and
for himself the inheritance- of his queen, the daughter of Earl Waltheof in
Northumbria and Huntingdon, he invaded the north of England in the
early pait of the year 1 13G.1 Owing to the powerful army which Stephen led
into the mirth against him, he was constrained to come to terms. Within
two years however he made two further' attempt*, in the second of which hits
army, led by Prince William, son of 1>uncan, on the loth June, 1138
defeated the English army at Olitheroe with great slaughter.
It was about this time that King David granted the above charter of
confirmation and protection to the abbey of Shrewsbury, whose monks
doubtless considered it politic to obtain from the paramount lord a con-
firmation of their estate in liispham, which lying to the north of the Ribble
lay within the region of tin* old Kingdom of Xoi thumbria. The charter was
witnessed by Hugh de Morvill, lord of ishall, and lJurgh-ii]>on-Sands. The

other witness was Henry, son of Swain, lord of Langwathby and Edenhall,
The charter passed, like the succeeding one, at a place called " Chulch'," or
the "New Castle of Chulchet." I have not l>een able to identify this place.
Probably it was Kelso, formerly Kilchou, or Calcehoti, whither King David
had removed the monks of Selkirk, about 112(5-1128. The word appears
to have been incorrectly copied from the original charter.

NOTES.
This charter, or letter of protection, is of similar nature to the last. In
this case the church of Kirkham is mentioned in addition to the land which
the monks of Shrewsbury had in Bispham, which alone was protected by
the previous letter. The date is apparently the same as that of the charter
which precedes it. The identity of the place at which it passed is uncertain.
Perhaps, as suggested alx>ve, it was Kelso.

NOTES.
By this charter Ran u If Gernons, Earl of Chester, directed his Justices
l>etween Ribblc and Mersey, and his ministers and servants, to permit the
abbot and convent of St. Peter of Shrewsbury to have and hold peaceably and
quietly, as ahnoign of holy church, all their possessions in the land "between
Kibble and Mersey," particularly naming Garston, according to his previous
cliarter of confirmation (No. VII.), and particularly that Richard, son of
Multon, as he loved the Earl's favour, should fully render to thein the
service due for Garston, which was probably the fee farm rent mentioned
IhjIow. The Earl also enjoined his officers to make no demand whatever
upon the said Richard for any service, custom, or exaction formerly pertain-
ing to that manor, for the Earl had acquitted him fully thereof, seeking
nothing from that estate beyond the prayers of the said monks.
This Richard, son of Multon, was the father of Adam de Garston, a
lienefactor of the abbey of Cockersand ; he had also at least two brothel's,
Henry, son of Multon, and Ralph, son of Multon, mentioned in the Coucher
of Whalley. Adam de Garston I. died in 1200, in which year the custody of
his son and heir Adam II., was purchased by Robert de Ainsdale (Pipe Roll
of 8 John, page 210), who may have been brother of Margaret de Garston,
widow of the said Adam I., afterwards married by King John to Richard de
Liverpool (Testa II. f. 813). When the survey of 1212 was made, Garston
was held of the King in chief, as of the Honor of Lancaster in thanage,
by the yearly service of 20*., by Adam de Garston II., who was still underage.
Hugh, son of Henry, son of Multon, also held under Adam 3 oxgs. for 22^d.
of the feoffment of his said grandfather ; Thomas held 4 oxg. for 2s. Gd. also
by the feoffment of the said Multon ; Henry, son of Matthew, held 3 oxg.
for 22\c?., also by the feoffment of Multon, and Simon held 3 oxg. for 22id.
by the feoffment of his brother Adam de Garston I. (Testa II. f. 813.)
The witnesses to the Earl's charter were— Gilbert de Clare, created
Earl of Hertford by King Stephen in 1138, was the Earl's nephew, being
the son of Ranulf Gernon's sister. Cadwalladr ap Grpffyth, who liad
married for his third wife, Alice, sister of Gilbert de Clare, was the
younger brother of Owen Gwynedd, who liad recently succeeded his father,

NOTES.
This charter is interesting as recording the result of the long continued
controversy between the abbeys of St. Peter of Shrewsbury and St. Martin
of Sees, respecting the church of Kirkham, which had apparently been the sub-
ject of a gift by Roger the Poictevin to both houses. (See Nos. I., II. and VI.)
The archbishop herein recites the fact that during the occupancy of the
See of York by his predecessors (*.e., Thomas I., 1070-1100, Gerard 1100-
1108. Thomas li., 1109-1114, and Thurstan 1114-1140), the monks of Shrews-
bury ofttimes made complaint that their house had been unjustly deprived of
the church of Kirkham, which had been given in lawful form by Count
Roger the Poictevin, and duly confirmed to that church by letters under the
seal of Archbishop Thomas I. (1070-1 100), until at length having come to
him, and having laid their complaint before him, being moved by their
complaints and constrained by the command of lord Henry, legate of the
apostolic see, he had committed their case for hearing under his own direc-
tion in the synod at York. Whereupon the deed of gift by the Count being
read, and the privileges of the archbishop's confirmation being heard,
judgment was given by the unanimous consent of the synod to the following
effect — that the church of Kirkham be restored to the church of St. Peter
of Shrewsbury, whereof they had been wrongfully and without judgment
deprived. These being witnesses — Ralph, bishop of Orkney and the Isles,
Benet, abbot of Whitby, and Elias, abbot of Selby, together with the synod
of York, and the chaplain of the church of St. Peter of York.
The said Archbishop William was consecrated to the See of York 2Gth
September, 1144, but deprived by the Pope in 1147. This decree was there-
fore made some time during that period.

NOTES.
It appears that certain letters under tin; seal of Thomas, late archbishop
of York, confirming to the monks of St. Peter of Shrewsbury the church of
Kirkham, had l>cen accidentally destroyed l»y a fire which took place at
Pontefract. Hy the above, letter the nrehbiHhop declares that the originals
had liecii seen by the synod at York, who held for certain that Iiih pre-
decessor had •'muted and confirmed that church to the said monks; where-
fore bv tin* same authority he ''Hints and eon firms to them the said church.
This document was probably issued shortly after the judgment contained in
the decree which precedes this charter. Possibly the originals suffered destruc-
tion through the carelessness of the messenger who was carrying them liack
tu Shrewsbury.

NOTKS.
Contention having arisen between the abbots of Shrewsbury and Sees
touching the church of Diddlebury and manor of Billingsley, co. Salop,
Bishop Robert de Betun, of Hereford, arranged a composition between the
two houses during the year 1147. It appeal's that the Norman Abbey of
Sees had laid claim to certain possessions of Shrewsbury Abbey ever since
its foundation, as if the founders had expressed some intention of making
the latter a daughter house to Sees." If so, this would explain the
anomalous position of the church of Kirkham as a gift from Roger the
Poictevin to both houses. As we have seen in ('barter No. VI., the Prior of
Lancaster, as the deputy of the Abbot of Sees, had resigned to Shrewsbury
the church of Kirkham and tithes of Walton alxmt the vear 1130; and in
return the Abbot of Shrewsbury had given a tenmland in Bispham, and
tithes of Laton and Warbreck to Lancaster. So now in the present dispute,
the Abbot of Sees regnmts to Shrewsbury what his affiliated Priory of
Lancaster had formerly received, together with the church of Kirkham, and
in return the Abbot of Shrewsbury grants Diddlebury church and Billingsley
manor and the chapel of Bispham to the Abbey of Sees. Thus ended a curious
instance of the kind of claim which an original foundation might make to the
estates granted to a quasi affiliated house.
When Bishop Betun made this charter of composition, the following
clerics were present in the Chapter of Hereford :— Gilbert, Abbot of
Gloucester, who succeeded to Betun's see within a year after ; Reynold,
Prior of Wenlock; Edmund, Prior of Leominster; William, Archdeacon
of Loudon ; and Godfrey, Archdeacon of Worcester, whose appointment
to that office in 1 147, or before the death of Bishop Betun on the 22nd April,
1148, fixes the date of this charter.
1 It had been built and first occupied by monks of See», brought over by Earl
Roger de Montgomery, aud the first two abbots of tho new house came from Sees.

NOTES.
The date of this confirmation is c. July, 1155, when Henry II. was at
Bridgenorth, engaged in suppressing the rebellion of Hugh de Mortimer
(Itinerary I/en. II., p. 10). Since the previous confirmation (1120-1122), the
monks of Shrewsbury had acquired from Pagan de Vilers the tithes of
Laton and Warbreck. From William fitz Nigel, baron of Halton, and
Constable of Chester, who died in 1133, they had received a grant of a third
part of the town of Thelwall. The grant of tithes of Newton in Makerfield
had been made by Count Roger the Poietevin after the charter of 1093. This
proves that between the date of Domesday and 1102, as indeed long after,
Newton continued to be part of the demesne estate of the lords of Lancaster.
Among the witnesses are — Reginald Fitz Roy, natural son of Henry I.,
whom King Stephen created Earl of Cornwall in 1140; William, Earl of
Gloucester (ali<ts Bristol), who had succeeded his father Robert, another
natural son of Henry I., in the earldom in 1147 ; Roger, Earl of Hereford,
Lord Constable of England, who died this same year (I Henry II.) ; Hugh
Kevelioc, Earl of Chester, who had recently succeeded his father Rami If
Gernons, whom William Peverel had caused to l>e poisoned in 1153;
William Fitz Alan, lord of Clun and Oswaldestre ; Robert de Dunstan-
vill, afterwards lord of Heytesbury, co. Wilts. ; Walcheline Maminoiit,
lord of Greenwich, and Roger Corbet of Caus, co. Salop.

The commanding style of this letter is interesting. u Henry by the
grace of God, King of England, Duke of Noimandy and Aquitaine, and
Count of Anjou, to his Sheriff and Bailiffs of Lancaster, greeting. I com-
mand you that ye cause the Abbot of Shrewsbury to have well, peaceably,
and rightly his fishery of Thelwall, as freely and fully as he ought to have
it, and as his predecessors had it in the time of King Henry our grandfather.
And that ye prohibit anyone from setting a net in front of his fishery to
his loss and injury. Unless ye shall do this, my justiciars of those parts
shall do it, that for lack of right (i.e. justice) I hear no more complaint in
that behalf. Witness, Richard, Bishop of Winchester, at Feckenliam, [in

The King was at Feckenliam about the 9th October, 1176. During the
year after Michaelmas, 1177, Thomas, son of Bernard, the forest Justice,
and his associates were in eyre in the county, dealing not only with forest
pleas, but also with matters of ordinary assize. Probably the King referred
to this prospective eyre. Ralph, son of Bernard, was at that time Sheriff.

NOTES.
The date given to this charter by the monks of Sees, viz., a.d. 1094, is
supported by what is known of the grantor and the subjects of the grant.
Roger, third son of Roger de Montgomery, acquired his surname of " the
Poictevin" through his marriage with Almodis, daughter of Audebert,
Comte de la Marche, in Poictiers. After the conquest he received inter alia,
the land " between Ribble and Mersey," which had been part of the
Confessor's royal demesne. In the spring or summer of 1071, after the
revolt of Eadwin and Morkere, he further received Amounderness and a
portion of Lonsdale, which had passed to Morkere with the Earldom of
Northumberland by consent of Earl Harold, after the banishment of Tostig
at the end of 1065. These possessions embraced pi-actically the whole of the
present county of Lancaster, except Furness. The house of Montgomery
were always staunch partisans of the Conquerors rebellious son, Robert
Curthose. During the years 1077-8, Robert rose in rebellion againwt his
father, and endeavoured to seize the ducal castle at Rouen. In this un-
successful revolt he was aided by the sons of the two great earls of the
Welsh border, with the result that his supporters were exiled and their
English estates forfeited. We know from Domesday that Count Roger had
lost the greater part of his English estates before 1086. It was during the
period which followed his rehabilitation in his English estates, after the
accession of Rufus in 1088, and before the final downfall of the house of
Montgomery in 1102, that the restoration of the Abbey of Sees was under-
taken by that family, and* the extensive grant of churches and tithes in
Lancashire, set forth in this charter, made by Count Roger, as part of his
contribution to the endowment of the favourite Abbey of the family.
This charter contains much matter of historical interest, but it is to be
regretted that the three or four versions which have been preserved to our
time, are all more or less corrupt in certain minor details. When Count
John of Mortain confirmed this grant during the period 1189-1194, the
original was doubtless before the clerk who wrote that confirmation. It is
written in the first person and contains fewer corrupt readings than the
U 2
292 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
transcripts of the original grant. For that reason it is included in this
series of charters.
In Lancaster the grant comprised the church of St. Mary, and a
portion of the townlands lying between the orchard of Godfrey the Sheriff,
and the Priest- wath. This would he a ford used by the priest or priests of
I>aneaster, and the land would probably lie, like the orchard, below the
then recently erected keep, along the hanks of the Lune, towai-ds the north-
west. If so we may with some reason suppose that the fields now known as
the Vicarage Fields, may be identical with the subject of this grant. Near
Lancaster, Count Roger gave two manor houses with all that pertained
thereto in lands and villeins. These two estates were Aldcliffe and Bulk.
The underwood as far as Frith-brook comprehended as much of the modern
township of Bulk as had not l>een included in the grant of the manor house
of Newton with its appurtenances. Frith-brook, which occurs in the Forest
perambulation of 1228, was the boundary between Newton, now Bulk, and
Quernmore Forest. (Close Roll, 12 Hen! Ill (No. 38), m. 10 dom.) The
Count also gave such jurisdiction or priviledge, and customs in the lands
above granted, as he himself had in Lancaster, and Amfred de Montgomery
under him, and whatever the latter still held of the Count.1
In Hkysham, the church, which was of Saxon foundation, and had been
endowed with one-third of the whole land of that town, which was
4 carucates of land.
In Cotgrave, the church, *>., that moiety of the church which belonged
to Count Rogers manor in Cotgrave. The other moiety belonged to the fee
of Ralph de Burun at Domesday. After the forfeiture of Count Roger's
possessions in 1102, Henry I appears to have revoked this grant, and to
have included this moiety of the church in the feoffment made to Robert.
Orel ley in Nottinghamshire. When the said Robert and his son Albert
Grelley founded the Abbey of Swineshead in Lincolnshire in the year 1134,
they gave the moiety of the church, and all the land they had in Cotgrave,
to the new foundation. (Jfonasttcon, Vol. V, p. 337 ; Thoroton's Notts.
Vol. I, p. 107.)
In C-RorniLL, the church or rather the chapel, which suffered a similar
re-disposition to Cotgrave, and was granted by Michael de Vilars and his
brothers to Thurgarton Priory, about the end of the reign of Stephen.
(SlonttAticoiii Vol. VI, ]). 191.)
In Wakerley, the church. Wakerley was a manor of ancient demesne m
co. Northampton. It was in the possession of William de Lanvaley, temp.
John, and passed into the possession of John de Burgh with the barony of
Lanvaley. His daughter and co-heir Hawise, brought it by marriage to
Robert Grelley, 7th baron of Manchester. I cannot oiler any explanation as
to how Count Roger possessed an interest in this manor and church.
1 1 believe the readings which give this name in the accusative case are corrupt.
Count John's confirmation gives it in the nominative. It is difficult to suppose that
the bearer of this name could possibly have beea a villein, or chattel given to the
monks of Seen, oven if the context hud not made that impossible in referring to
44 whatever he (Amfred) holds of the Count." It is much more probable that he
was a cadet of the house of Montgomery on whom Count Roger ha4 bestowed
some estate near Lancaster.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULAUY. 293
In Croston, the church. Tins is Croston co. Lane, and not Crofton, co.
York, for the latter was in the fee of Pontefiact. Pope Martin V appro-
priated the Rectory to the Abbey of Sion, and the Bishop of Lichfield ordained
a Vicarage in the year 14:20. At the dissolution the advowson jwssed to the
Crown. (Nvtitia CWr. Vol. II, p. 353.)
In Eccleston in Leylandshire, a moiety of the church. Count Roger had
enfeoffed one of his knight* of the nioietv of the town of Eccleston, with the
other moietv of the church. In later times this moiety was held by the
Gernets and Dacres as a member of the Forest fee. In the \ear 1:2-13, Sir
Roger Gernet of Ilalton, and his under tenant Warine de Walton quit
claimed their right in the advowson, which thus became wholly vested in
the Priory of Lancaster. The remaining portion of Eccleston was after-
wards held as of the barony of Penwortham.
In Cjiildwall, the church. Here, as in the case of Cotgrave and
Cropliill, Henry I revoked the grant of the church to Sees, and gave it with
the township to Robert Grelley. But the Priory of Lancaster continued to
own the tithes, and also succeeded in ho far proving some claim to the
advowson, that they obtained by composition an annual pension of iiOx.
payable by the clerk for the time l>cing.
In Preston, the church. Here again the Crown resumed possession after
the forfeiture of Count Roger's lief in 1102, and the chun-h remained vested
in the Honor of I^ancaster until the grant of Amounderness to Theobald
Walter in 1194. In 11%', the Abbot of Sees and Theobald were engaged in
litigation respecting the advowsons of the churches of Proton and Poulton,
with their chapels. A final concord was made at Westminster on the
10th May, 1106, whereby Theoliald quit-claimed to the Abbot the advowson
of the church of Poulton, with the church of Bispham and all appendant
chapels ; and the Abbot rendered to Theobald the advowson and presenta-
tion of the church of Preston, with the appendant chapels, subject to an
annual pension of ten marks to be paid yearly by the parson for the time
being to the Prior of Lancaster. At Theobald's death in 120.">, Amounderness
escheated to the Crown, and with the church of Preston became again vested
in the Honor of Lancaster. The tithes of the demesne and of the lishery,
two oxgangs of land, and tithes of the whole parish of Preston, were
appendant to the church and passed with it.
In Kirk ii am, the church. During the reign of Stephen a dispute arose
between John, Abbot of Sees, and Ranulf, Abbot of Shrewsbury, touching
the church of Duddlebury and manor of Billingsley. A composition was
made between H3J)-il47, by which the Abbot of Sees gave to the Abbot of
Shewsbury the chinch of Kirkham, the tithes of Laton and Warbreck, and
a carucate of land in Bispham which lmd been given to the Prior of
Lancaster as a composition for Kirkham church. The Abbot of Shrewsbuiy
in return gave to the Abbot of Sees the church of Duddlebury and Billings-
ley, the chapel of Bispham and tithes, which Count Roger had given to
Salop Abbey. (Series II, Charter No. XXVII.)
In Mellino, the church, which was afterwards exchanged by the
Abbot of Sees with Roger de Montbegon for the chapel of (Ti-essingham, circa
1217-1220.
In Bolton -le-S a nds. This place, like Lancaster and Pi-eston, was in
294 TIIK LANCASHIRE CIIA11TULAISY.
Count Honor's demesne ; accordingly the grant included Ixssides the church,
tithe <>f the demesne, half a carucate of land, which belonged to the church,
and all other tithes there. After contention between the Abbot of Sees and
the Archdeacon of Richmond in the year 1240, touching the Priory of
Lancaster, a composition was effected, by which the Prior gave up for ever
to the archdeaeon. the right of jwitronage, a pension of three marks, all
rights which the Abbot of Sees had in the church of Bolton in Lonsdale, in
return for continuation of the moietv of the church of Poulton, then held
by Alex, de Stanford, and the chapel of Bispham, upon certain conditions
which do not appear to have been afterwards fuliilled.
Is Poulton in Amoun denies**, Count Roger gave the whole town with
whatever belonged to it, and the church with one carucate of land belonging
to it, ami all other appurtenances. It is prol table, that after the forfeiture
of the Count's lief in 1 1 02, King Henry revoked this gitint, for Theobald
was engaged in litigation about the advowson of Poulton in and before the
year 111)0, as already noticed. Both the Register of Ijancaster Priory, and
the Pipe llolls, prove that the Abbey of Sees had l>een disseised in 1102, at
anv mte of the land in Poulton, if not of the church.
Count Roger's grant further comprised tithe of venison, and of pannage
throughout his underwoods, tithe of his fishery at l^aneastcr, and the third
draught of the net in the pool by St. Mary's church; tithe of foals, calves,
Jambs, goats, pigs, of corn, cheese and butter upon his demesne estates at
Kstonbury (probably Ashton-under-Lyne in Salford hundred), Salford,
West Derby, J Tale, Everton, Walton-on-the-lTill, Great Crosby, Ravens-
meols, Crostnn, Preston, Ribby, (Jreat Singleton, Preesall, Middleton-in-
Lonsdale, Overton, Skerton, Bare, Stapleton-terne and Sline. These places
embraced practically the whole of the Count's demesne in Lancashire, which
continued as the demesne of successive lords of the Honor of Lancaster
with few exceptions until 1180-94, when Count John of Mortain commenced
to grant out various estates in feefarm. The exceptions were Walton-on-
the-llill, granted by William, Count of Mortain, to one Waldeve as a
serjeanty, between 1153 and 1100 ; < Jreat Crosby given partly as a serjeanty
about the same time, and partly in feefarm ; Ravensmeols given as a
serjeanty by Henry II to Warine. the Falconer, who is sometimes called
Warine de Ijancaster ; Croston given to Adam fitz Swain, or to his father
Swain fitz Alric (who also had Hornby and large estates in Yorkshire and
Cumljerland), by tenure unknown, but probably, like Hornby, in burgage ;
a moiety of Middleton in Lonsdale was gninted out alnmt the middle of the
12th century to the ancestor of Adam de Middleton living 1212, to hold by
chivalry ; Stapleton-terne was given in almoign to Fumes* Abbey, except
|>erhaps a portion held by the Uerneto, who afterwards gave their estate also
to Furness.
These gifts Count Roger made to the honour of God, and for the
maintenance of monks to celebrate divine service in the monastery at
Lancaster, free from any secular service or custom to him or his successors,
but enjoying the like jurisdiction and customs that he himself possessed in
the lands so given. He also declared his willingness to confirm any grants
made by his knights or tenants, who desired to receive the prayers and
benefits of that house, even to the half of their fees. Hearing which,

Godfrey the Sheriff gave the tithes of Bispham, and what he had in
Lancaster, viz., houses and the orchard previously referred to, and Ralph
Gernet gave three of his Suffolk villeins, to be transferred to the Lancaster
estates of the newly founded monastery.
The witnesses' names are most important, for we may expect to find
among them the names of some at any rate of the Count's Lancashire
knights and thanes. After his own name and that of his daughter Sibil,
the first is that of —
Godfridus Vickcomes, the Sheriff of the Counts English fief, the
northern portion of which was not yet, nor for nearly a century after, styled
the county of Lancaster. He was one of the ten knights who had been
enfeoffed by the Count before Domesday, and was at the date of the Survey
holding lands of the King in West Derby Hundred. He certainly was not,
nor could have been Baron of West Derby as he is described in Mameceatre,
p. 34, for that estate was in demesne, and he was only so far " Sheriff of
Derby," in that he was Sheriff of the whole comitatus of Count Roger.
Albertus Grklktt. This is Albert Grelley, to whom before the time of
Domesday, jointly with Roger de Busli, the hundred of Blackburn had l>een
given by Count Roger. He has been generally regarded as the tii"st baron
of Manchester, but the evidence to prove it is practically nil. As, however,
his son Robert Grelley certainly held the barony during the latter part of
Henry I's reign, and was holding a small portion of the escheated fief of
Erneis de Burun in Lindsey in 1114-1116, of the King in chief, it is evident
that he or his father did not suffer banishment with Count Roger. It may
be that after the Count's restoration circa 1088, he gave the hundred of
Blackburn, as he certainly did the territory of Rowland, ro Roger de Lacy,
and at the same time gave Manchester, which had been forfeited or resigned
by Nigel, the Domesday tenant, to Albert Grelley in lieu of his former fief
in the hundred of Blackburn.
R filius Roberti has not been identified.
G. Boisel, A frater ejus. The position of these names after Grelley,
and before Vilers, suggests that these two brothers were Count Roger's
knights, and ancestors of the Bussels, barons of Penworthain. The
surname suggests a mean origin. It has been frequently mistaken for a
variant of de Busli. 1 therefore take this opportunity of stating that the
two names are entirely distinct, the latter belonging to a Domesday tenant
of far greater importance than Bussel ever attained to. The name Geoffrey
occurs more than once in the Bussel family during the first century and a
half after Domesday. Is it, therefore, too much to supj>ose that G stands
for Galfridus, and that he was one of the two " Goisfridi " who held lands
in West Derby hundred temp. Domesday ?
Pagan us de Vilers. The first reputed baron of Warrington. He
afterwards held fees under Count Stephen of Mortain in cos. Nottingham
and Lincoln. In the latter county he was tenant of Upton, between the
years 1114-1116.
Rannuncarel, or Raynewarus, V. filius Alumje, or Alium-k, have
not been identified. V. probably stands for Vivianus.
Orm filius Ciielet, or Retell, was son of Ketel fitz Eldred, who
before 1093 held various estates under Ivo Taillebois, both in the barony

of Egreinont, co. Cunih., and in Kendal. Orm married Gunild, daughter of
Guspatriek, sometime Ksii*l of Northumberland (who held the manor of
Ulverston before the conquest), and was ancestor of the Cur wan family of
"Workington.
Ulf filius Torolf has not been identified.
Hauanciiil filius Ra«shanald, possibly father of Roger, son of
Ravenkil, a thane living temp. Stephen and Henry II, who was the father
of Richard, son of Roger of Woodplumptim, who founded Lytliam Priory
circa 1189-1194.

NOTES.
From the Chronicle of John, Prior of Hexham, we learn that in the year
1149, "Henry, sou of Geoffrey, Karl of Anjou, and the Empress Adcla came
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 297
at Whitsuntide1 to Carlisle. King David received him with great respect,
and with a splendid preparation of wealthy munificence. He also endued
him with the belt of knighthood, in the presence of his son Henry, and
Banulf, Earl of Chester. Which Ranulf then abated his auger touching
Carlisle, which he had demanded to be restored to him as his patrimony,
and he did homage to King David, for speech was exchanged between them
that for Carlisle Earl Ranulf should liave the Honor of Lancaster, and his
son should have to wife one of the daughter's of Henry, son of the King of
Scots."
" And so King David, and young Henry, Duke of Normandy, and Ranulf,
Earl of Chester, were agreed together to unite their forces and advance against
King Stephen. 80 King David with his powers proceeded to Lancaster,
and Henry with him, for there Earl Ranulf had promised to meet them
with his gathered host. But he, performing not the things he liad under-
taken to do, departed from their determinations. Wherefore Duke Henry
returned to his own country."*
It is unnecessary to repeat here the grounds upon which the Earl of
Chester claimed Carlisle and Cunilxjrland. Since 1138, King David had
been in possession of Lancashire north of the Kibble, that is to say, of that
part of the county which he claimed to belong to the Earldom of North-
uinbria. The Earl of Chester had also since 1141 been in possession of the
land between Ribble and Mersey, and the rest of the Honor of Lancaster,
except Roger de Montbegon's land in Lincolnshire. From the above
chronicle we learn that the Earl resigned himself to the loss of his
patrimony in Cumberland, on condition that King David should hand over
to him all Lancashire north of the Ribble, which clearly formed part of
the Honor of Lancaster. These negotiations were effected at Whitsuntide,
1149, and the Duke of Normandy, who had no doubt assisted in bringing
about the conciliation between the King of Scots and the Earl of Chester for
his own private reasons, induced them to further his intended campaign
against King Stephen by undertaking to collect their troops, and to meet
him later at Lancaster. On his journey south, however, the Earl began to
see matters in a different light, with the result that he withdrew his promise
of assistance. It was no doubt on his return from Carlisle, while resting at
Lancaster on July 27th, that he exercised his prerogative of issuing the
above charter of liberties within that part of the county which had passed
to him by virtue of the agreement at Carlisle.
The witnesses were — Nomian de Verdon (1130-1153), Lord of Newbold
Verdon, and Fariiham Royal, co. Leicester ; William de Lancaster, Baron of
Kendal, who is frequently called fitz Gilbert in charters of King Stephen's
reign ; Robert Banastre, ancestor of the Lords of Makerfield, and at this
time holding lands of the Earl of Chester in Wales. He gave Kethlenedei
to Basingwerk Abbey, which Henry II confirmed with other grants about
August, 1157; Richard le Boleter, Baron of Warrington, Fulc de Brichel-
hert (Beddgelert /)> probably another of the Earl's vassals holding land in
Wales ; Michael le Fleming of Furness ; John and Roger, two chaplains at

John, Count of Mortain held the Honor of Lancaster from the time of
his father's death until he rebelled against his brother Richard I, and was
by him dispossessed in the spring of 1104. It is practically a repetition of
Count Roger's charter, but it is noticeable that several important details of
the gift are wanting in that text of the charter of confirmation, which was
before the Forest Justices of 1287, at Lancaster, although they appear in
two other texts, viz., on the Patent Roll of the 18 Richard II, and in the
Register of the Priory, compiled in the fifteenth century.
The witnesses are — Roger de Plasties, the Count's justiciar and one of
his Norman vassals, and a landowner in Essex1 ; William de Bussei, another
Norman knight ; Theoliald Walter, afterwards lord of Amounderness, and
Sheriff of Lancaster from the G to 10 Richard I ; Richard de Vernon, Sheriff,
when John was lord of Lancaster, and from the 3-7 John ; John de Nevill,

The church of St. Oswald of Winwick in Makerfield was confirmed to
the Priory of Nostell by Henry I, in a general charter of confirmation to
that house, of which the date was 10th January, 1121. The reference to the
grant is in these words : — " De Stephano comite Moretonii, et de Rogero de
Limesi capellano ejus, ecclesiam Sancti Oswaldi de Macrefeld." The church
of Winwick was therefore given by Stephen, Count of Mortain, before 1121,
ue.y between 1114 and 1121. The royal mandate directing the bishop of
Lichfield and Coventry to cause right and justice to be done to the prior and
canons of St. Oswald of Nostel, respecting their dues, of which their clerks
of Makerfield, i.e., of the church of Winwick, were disseising them, was
probably addressed to Robert Peche, who was bishop from 1 3th March,
1121, until his death on 22nd August, 1 120. " Fereham" is Fareham, near
Portsmouth, where a number of charters were expedited by King Henry,
when about to cross into Normandy in the year 1123. It is most un-
fortunate that copies of several other charters relating to Winwick, and
probably the copy of Count Stephen's original grant, have been lost through
the tearing out of a number of the leaves of the Register of Nostel.

NOTES.
The Chronicle of Symeon of Durham preserves to us the following
reference to the foundation by Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain,
and lord of Lancaster, at Tulketh, near Preston, in the year 1123, of a
Cistertian Abbey, affiliated to that of Savigny, in Normandy : — "Anno M.

Aft the end of three years Count Stephen endowed them with his whole
forest of Furness (then an undefined tract of country, see No. V) and
Walney, with the right of hunting in these territories, Dalton in Furness,
and all his demesne in Furness with the men (free and villein), Ulverston,
and Roger Bristwald with his possessions, the Counts fishery in the Lune,
Warine the Little with all his land, and soke and sake, tol and theam,
infangenthef, and whatever was contained within Furness, except the land
of Michael le Fleming. Accordingly in 1127 the new Abbey resigned the

hamlet of Tulketh1 to the Founder, and removed to their new possessions..
The townships of Furness had been assessed to Dane Geld as 41 teamlands.
By this grant exactly one half, or 20£ teamlands devolved upon the Abbey,
including Dalton, Ulverston, and the demesne lands. The remaining 20$
teamlands held by Michael le Fleming within those townships, of which he
had been previously enfeoffed at the fee farm service of £10 per annum,
viz., Pennington, Urswick and Aldingham, were particularly excepted from
the grant to the Abbey. Roger Bristwald was, I believe, Count Stephen's
tenant in Kirkby Irleth, and afterwards appears as Roger de Kirkby. By
this grant he became a vassal of the Abbey.
Of the witnesses, Hugh de Campagny and Oisivalin (?) de Argentan
were the Count's foreign vassals, as it is probable that Robert de Archib2
also was. Robert Grelley was baron of Manchester, Geoffrey Bussel baron
of Penworthara, Roger fitz Richard, and Robert de Sachevill, knights
holding fees in Essex and Suffolk, &c, respectively.

NOTES.
King Stephen's confirmation of his foundation charter made when he
was Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Lord of Lancaster, is chiefly
interesting because it contains a reference to William de Lancaster, the
fourth reputed Baron of Kendal, and first of his line. It appears that he
was possessed of the lordship of Mulcaster (now Muncaster), over the
Penningtons of Pennington in Furness, and under Robert de Romilly, lord
of Egremont and Skipton, who held it in right of his wife, Cecilia, daughter
and heiress of William de Meschines. This over-lordship appears to have
been due to the fact that certain manors in Cumberland and north West-
morland, which had been held by Ketel, son of Eldred and others under
Ivo Taillebois, first reputed Baron of Kendal, liad descended to William de
Lancaster, by virtue of the grant to him of that reputed Barony, from
Roger de Mowbray, son of Nigel de Albini, who had received a grant
of that barony from Henry I, probably some years after the death of
Ivo Taillebois (see Series XVI).
It is however evident that William de Lancaster's interest in Muncaster
can only liave covered the feudal rights of escheat, wardship, marriage, &c,
and as no more is heard of Furness possessing any title here in after years,
we may presume that the grant was annulled.
The names of the witnesses to this confirmation have not been preserved,
and therefore the date can only be surmised. As however King Stephen
gave Lancashire, between Kibble and Mersey, to Eanulf Gernons, Earl of
Chester, in 1141, the date probably lay between 1136 and the latter year.

NOTES.
William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, Earl of Warren, and Lord of
Lancaster, succeeded to the last named fief before the death of King Stephen,
his father, by strict right of inheritance, and in accordance with the agree-
ment made between his father and Duke Henry in 1153 (see Series XIII).
He confirmed his father's charter of foundation by the same description as
that used in the original grant. It is dated at Thetford, co. Norfolk, where
the Earl might have been on a visit to the Priory of canons of the order of
the Holy Sepulchre, founded there by his wife's father, William, third Earl
of Warren. The witnesses are his uncle Reginald de Warren, Robert de
Wesvenal, who has not been identified, Simon de Cailly, one of his knights,
Robert Qrelley, Baron of Manchester, Ralph de Plaiz, another of his knights,
Osbert Martel of Edlesborough, co. Bucks., William de Lancaster, Baron of
Kendal, Roger, son of Ravenkil, thane of Woodplumpton, in Amounderness,
Eustace his Chancellor, and William fitz Rabode.1 The date will lie between
the treaty of Wallingford, made at Winchester, 7th November, 1153 (by
the provisions of which the Earl took over the Honor of Lancaster, which
had then recently escheated to the Crown after the death of the Earl of
Chester), and his death in 1160, but probably soon after 1153.

The above charter printed verbatim et litteratim from the original in the
Public Record Office, records the confirmation by the Earl of Warren of an
exchange made between Ewan, the first abbot of Furness, and Michael le
Fleming, by which Michael held Bardsey of the Abbey, and the Abbey held
Roose and Crivelton (now Newton) of Michael, in order to consolidate their
respective estates. The charter also records the settlement of a dispute,
between the Abbey and le Fleming, made by the Earl in the presence of
his barons, by which John de Cantsfield, then Abbot, gave to Michael, one
team land in Furness, called Little Urswick, and one team land in Copeland,
called Foss, and ten shillings yearly out of the issues of these estates until
the Ablxrt should put him in seisin, and the land in Lancaster which Warine
the Little gave to Furness, to hold of the Abbey, free and quit of secular
service. The witnesses are — Reginald de Warren, the Earls uncle ; Fara-
muse de Boulogne, the Earl's Norman baron ; William de Lancaster, baron
of Kendal ; Adam de Montbegon, baron of Hornby ; William de Yseiny of
Wit King ton, co. Lancaster, one of the Earl's knights ; Roger, son of Ralph
who has not been identified ; Richard Bussell, baron of Penwortham ;
Richard le Boteler, baron of Warrington ; William Malebisse, probably a
member of the Yorkshire house of that name ; Robert de Boy vill, probably
brother of Godard de Boyvill of Milium ; and Eustace, the Chancellor.

The charter was dated at Lancaster, probably when the Earl was on his
way to Carlisle, where in January, 1158, Henry I granted to him the honour
of knighthood. It is also noteworthy that Faramuse of Boulogne had been
in England the previous year.1

NOTES.
The fishery of the river Lune at Lancaster was one of the items of
Stephen's original grant of Furness to the monks of Savigny. By this
charter the Earl of Warren grants to them licence to take what timber they
might require for making balks or weirs in the Lune for the purposes of
their fishery there. The witnesses were the Earl's uncle, and Eustace the
Chancellor.

NOTES.
This letter of protection passed at Nottingham, apparently circa January,
1158. It is noteworthy that the endorsement describes it as a letter of
protection " against Michael le Fleming," who five years before had made
an exchange with the monks of Furness, of Roose and Crivelton (now
Newton), for Bardsey. Perhaps he had afterwards found reason to be
dissatisfied with the exchange, and had been endeavouring to cancel the
agreement.

NOTES.
This document relates to a period when there were no definite divisions
known as the "County of Lancaster," or the "County of Westmorland." The
former description when used would apply to the whole Honor of Lancaster,
and not to that part only which was afterwards described as " Comitatus
Lancastrian infra Limam." The latter description, as Westmeringland, or
Westmeriland, embraced only that part of the present county of Westmor-
land which lay to the north-east of Bori-ow Beck, Long Sleddale, Kentmere,
Hartsop, and Patterdale.
Before the Conquest, the distinct to the north of Morecambe Bay
contained a number of townships, of which the Domesday Survey says
that they "lie to Hougiin,'' which lay partly in Cumberland, and partly in
Furness. There were also two separate manors, viz.: Ulverston and Alding-
ham. This district merged into the neighbouring lordship of Kendal, through
a wild, uncultivated, and sparsely inhabited region of fells and dales, rivers,
and lakes. After Count lioger the Poictevin's first forfeiture of his north
country fief, a few years before the date of Domesday, those of his manors
which lay in Westmorland and Yorkshire were severed from the rest of
his fief, and given— as regards Eweeross Wapentake and Kendal — to Ivo
Taillebois, and soon after Ivo's death, to Nigel de Albini, progenitor of the
noble house of Mowbray. The rest, as we know, excluding the other Yorkshire
manors, was restored to Count Roger by William Rufus, but was finally lost
by the forfeiture of 1102, when it remained in the Crown until Henry I
incorporated the Honor of Lancaster, and about 1114-1116 bestowed it upon
his nephew Stephen, Count of Boulogne ami Mortain. About twelve years
Liter, Stephen gave Furness to the monks of Savigny, then settled at Tulketh
For the next forty years the Fell country which belonged Iwth to the lord-
ships of Furness and Ulverston, and to the Lancaster fief of Kendal, remained
undivided, until dispute, followed by litigation in the King's Court, arose
'netween the monks of Furness, as lords of the district of Furness (including
Flemings moiety), and William fitz Gilbert de Lancaster as lord both
of Ulveston, and of the fief of Kendal, which Roger de Mowbray had
bestowed upon him with lands in Lonsdale and Ribblesdale. (See Series
XVI.) This was settled by an agreement made before King Henry II, duly
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 313
confirmed by him in this charter of confirmation, whereby Kendal was to be
divided from Furness by a boundary established upon oath according to the
King's precept by the verdict of thirty freemen occupying lands in the
adjacent districts. This boundary commenced from the three shire stones
" as the water descends from Wrynose Haws into Little Langdale (long after
called Langden), thence into Elterwater, and thence by Braithay into
Windermere, and thence into Leven, and so into the sea." Of the land so
parted from Kendal, the Abbot of Furness took, as belonging to his liberty of
Furness, the eastern part, lying between the boundary described above, and
a boundary commencing " from Elterwater to Tilburthwaite, and thence to
Coniston, and thence to the head of Thurstan water (the ancient name of
Coniston lake), and thence by the bank of that water unto Crake, and thence
into Leven." William de Lancaster chose the western part, as the portion
belonging to his manor of Ulverston, which he was to hold under the Abbot
of Furness by the yearly service of twenty shillings, " for which the son of
the same William shall do homage to the abbot of the same place." He also
possessed the exclusive right of hunting, and the hawks in the Abbot's
portion of the Fells. A postscript endorsed on the charter gives the following
boundary between Furness and Copeland : " As the water descends from
Wrai-nes-hals (Wrynose Haws) into Trutehil (Troutal) and thence by Duden
unto the sea."
It is difficult to fix the exact date of this agreement because the King was
frequently at Woodstock, between his accession and the 26th January, 1168,
when Robert de Chesney, Bishop of Lincoln, died. Eyton gives the date
circa September, 1157, but that appears to be too early by some years,
because William, Count of Boulogne, and Earl of Warren, was Lord of
Lancaster until his death in 1160, and if living he would have had something
to say about this agreement. Again, Albert Grelley's relief for his barony
of Manchester apparently became due during the shrievalty of Geoffrey de
Valoines, as appears by the Pipe Roll of the 16 Henry II, 1169-1170 (p. 15),
where he figures with others as debtor to the King for 18 J marks, apparent1 y
the balance of his relief. Geoffrey de Valoines was Sheriff of Lancaster from
Michaelmas 1164, to the same date in 1166. But he was probably sheriff
before that period, Michaelmas 1164, being the date at which the Honor of
Lancaster passed to the Crown from the heirs or assigns of William, Earl
of Warren. Furthermore, there is no apparent reason for the gathering of
so many north country barons and knights at Woodstock in 1157. It appears
probable that the correct date should be 1-7 July, 1 163, immediately after
the campaign against the Welsh, in which the King was accompanied by
Richard de Luci, the Justiciar.
Of the other witnesses, William de Vesci was Sheriff of Northumberland ;
Geoffrey de Valoines, Sheriff of Laucaster ; William de Egremont was
William fitz Duncan, who in right of his wife was lord of Skipton, the estate
of her father Robert Romilly, and Lord of Egremont, the estate of her
mother, the daughter and heir of William de Meschines. Albert Grelley,
Lord of Manchester, son of Albert Grelley, the elder ; John, Constable of
Chester, son and heir of Richard fitz Eustace, Baron of Hal ton, and Constable
of Chester. The fact of John fitz Richard being here described as "Constable"
proves that his father was then dead. Richard le Boteler, Baron of Warring-
314 THE LANCASHIRE C1IAT5TULAKY.
ton ; Henry fitz Swain, Lord of Langwnthbv and Eden hall, and brother of
Adam fitz Swain, supposed Lord of Hornby ; Gospatrick, eon of Onn, Lord
of several manors within the Barony of Egremont ; and Richard, son of Yvo,
whom I cannot identify. The presence of several Cumberland knights at
Woodstock confirms the supposition that the correct date of this charter
should be in 1103, because there is reason to believe that after raiding
Carmarthenshire in April and May of that year, the King travelled north to
Carlisle, and afterwards returned south to Woodstock.
The list of names of those persons by whose verdict the division of the
Fells was made, is interesting as containing the names of many free tenants
holding Lands in Furness, viz., in Broughton, Pennington, Marton, Kirkby
Irleth, Orgrave. Dalton, Urswick, and some other townships outside Furness.
Among the first six, two witnessed the King's charter ; of the other*, Roger,
son of Ravenkil, and Michael le Fleming of Furness, were well known
knights, holding lands in Lancashire ; William Gernet was chief forester of
fee in Lancashire, and William the clerk of Cartmel, may have been the
parson of Cartmel, or an official connected with the royal demesne there.
Among the last few names we find Orm, son of Bernulf, of Over Kellet, and
Ughtred, son of Edmund, of Newby, in the parish of Clapham.
Further disputes alxmt the Fells of Furness arose between the monks and
Gilbert fitz Reinfred in the time of King Richard, which were settled by a
Final Concord levied at Westminster, on the 11th February, 1196. (Lanca-
shire Final Concord*, p. 4.)

NOTES.
This letter of protection for the monks of Fumess was proliably granted
by William, King of Scots, wbile he was besieging Carlisle during April,
1 174. The first witness, Duncan, was Earl of Fife and Justiciar of Scotland ;
Waldeve was Earl of Dunbar, son and heir of Gospatric, the third Earl, who
died in 1166 ; Richard de Morevil, lord of Burgh upon Sands, in Cumberland,
was the Scotch King's Constable ; Philip de Colville was one of the King's
vassals in Yorkshire. All these four witnesses are named in the
agreement between King Henry of England, and William, King of Scots,
made at Falaise, circ% 10th October, 1174, among the hostages which the
latter gave for his liberty. (Foedera, edit. 1816, Vol. T, p. 30.)

NOTES.
This confirmation is similar to that which the monks obtained from
William de Warren, Count of Boulogne (Charter No. IV). It passed at
Nottingham and has been erroneously attributed by Eyton to a date circa
January, 1158. As, however, the first witness is Roger, Earl of Hereford,
who rt signed his Earldom and Castles to the King in the Spring of 1155,
and very soon after took the religious habit, the correct date appears to be
during the Summer of 1155. The other witnesses were Robert, Earl of
Leicester, Warine fitz Ceroid, the Chamberlain, and Manasser Biset, one of
the Royal Stewards.

NOTES.
Roger the Poictevin gave the township of Howick, near Preston, to the
Abbey of Evesham, between the years 1088-1102. Unfortunately the deed
of gift does not appear to have been preserved by the monks of that house,
the grant being recorded in the Chartulary {Harl. MS. 3763, fol. 58) merely
in these words — " Rogerus Pictaviensis dedit Hocwike."
In the aliove charter, Abbot Maurice (1096-1122) obtained from the
four brothers Wolfgeat, Swain, Ralph, and Liulph, a quit-claim of all their
right in Howick for the sum of 26*. Liulph, however, became tenant of the
Abbey, under this agreement, of a certain portion of the township, upon the

condition that he should render yearly for that land upon the Nativity of
the Blessed Virgin [September 8th] one hundred good salmon, which wero
presumably to be cured. From a final concord made in the 4 John, it
appears that the land which the descendants of Liulph then held in Howick
of the Abbot of Evesham was one teamland (Final Concords, Lane, 4 John,
No. 20). This teamland, and another in Penworthain, correspond with the
area given in the Domesday Survey.

NOTES.
By this Charter Ranulf de Gernous confirmed to the monks of St. Mary
of Evesham their estate of Howick, to hold in frankalmoign as well and
peaceably as in the time of Count Koger the Poictevin, and in the time of the
grautor's father, Ranulf de Meschines. This latter expression was merely
dictated by vanity, and must not be taken to mean that the Earl actually
considered that his father, Ranulf I, had ever had any claim in any portion
of Lancashire ; for it is most certain that he never held any interest in
320 THE LANCASHIKE CHAKTULAKY.
either the county or honor, nor ever made so preposterous a claim, seeing
that King Stephen's title to that honor was unimpeachable.
The Earl further forbad any man to intermeddle with the monks in the
possession of their estate, nor to harass them with demands for customary
operations or other exactions, as he should stand in fear of God, or of forfeiture
to the Earl. The witnesses were — Eustace fitz J ohn, jure uxoris Constable of
Chester ; Hugh, the Hawker ; Serlo, the Hunter ; Richard Bussel, afterwards
Baron of Peiiwortham ; and Richard le Boteler, afterwards Baron of Warring-
ton. The charter passed at Warine's Meols (that is Ravens -meols), a name
acquired from Warine the Falconer, sometimes called Warine de Lancaster,
who held this township by serjeanty, and to distinguish it from the neigh-
bouring Argar-meols, and North-meols. Possibly the Earl was visiting
that portion of the county in search of sport, Ravens-meols being under the
jurisdiction of the forest. The date is probably during the year 1149, either
before or after the Earl's journey to Carlisle to meet David, King of Scot-
land, and devise further treason against King Stephen. (See Series II, Ch.
No. II.)

NOTES.
The date of this charter has been variously and erroneously given by
different authorities as of the reign of William the Conqueror, or of William
Rufus. Some writers who ought to have known better, have declared the
belief that Warine Bussel was the son of Roger de Busli, the Domesday
tenant in chief, whose only son died (naturally or- otherwise) two years
after his father, circa 1100-1102, as a ward of Robert de Belesme. A date
between 1086 and 1096 has been assigned on the ground that it was
perfected before Abbot Bobert, who presided over the monastery during
that period ; but a mistake has most certainly been made either in the
name of the Abbot, before whoni the above agreement was made, or in the
omission of an Abbot Bobert during the reign of Stephen. That the latter
hypothesis may be correct is evident from the fact that Maurice, who
succeeded Abbot Bobert in 1096, and ruled the monastery until his deatli in
1122, is said to have been succeeded by Begiuald, whereas an entry in the
Register ( Vesp. B. xxiv., fol. 27) refers to the year 1130 as the first year of
the hitter's abbacy.' This would suggest a date between 1122 and 1130.
I am, however, disposed to believe that the name " Bobert" has been
given by the compiler of the Chartuhiry in mistake for "Reginald/'
possibly by the erroneous extension of the initial " B," as it was by no
means an uncommon practice to write only the initial letter of an Abbot's
name.
In support of the statement that the date hitherto attributed to
Warine's grant is incompatible with the facts, it is to be noted that in his
charter, Warine refers to his son " Warine," and also to " his children."
Now it is certain that he had at least three other sons, viz., Richard, Albert,
and Geoffrey, and the Testa de Sevill names six daughters. Of the sons,
both Albert and Geoffrev survived until the time when the Honor of Lan-
caster was in the hands of Count John of Mortain (1189-1194), during
which period Geoffrey was a suitor in the County Court at Lancaster {Fine
Boll, temp. John, p. 49) and Hugh, his brother, was fining for his relief
after his father's death, as appeal's by an entry in the Pipe Roll of 6 Richard.
"Hugo Buissel reddit compotum de xl marcis de fine Relevii sui, quam
fecit cum Comite Johanne." Albert died in or yery shortly before the year
1194, or surely some portion of the tine would have been collected by Count
John's sheriff. It is obviously improbable that those who were living as
late as 1189-1194, could have been described as children by the father,
at a date much earlier than 1140. From entries in the Testa de Nevill
(II, f. 816), and from No. IV of this Series, we see evidence that three of
Warine's daughters were unmarried at his death, and afterwards at their
Y
IVl'l TIIK LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
respective marriagen were endowed by their eldest brother Ricliard, wlio
had succeeded t<» the Barony. Agjiin, when the monks of Evesham obtained
from Rainlf GernoiiH a confirmation of their estate in Ilowick, and letters of
protection, no mention whatever was made of IVnwortham Church or of
any other estates as having been at that- time bestowed upon them. From
this it might appear that. Warine's gifts were made at a subsequent date.
Further evidence in support of a later date is the occurrence among the
names of the witnesses of Cl Constantine, the Abbot's Chamberlain," who
also ap]M*ai7t as a witness to the grant of Loynton, co. Staff, by Abbot
Reginald to Ruliert Dunham (StaforMiirc Historical Collection*, Chartulary,
Series T, No. III). It is known that he held five houses in Evesham of the
Abbey. These are the grounds upon which it seems advisable to associate
this document with the abbacy of Reginald, and to a date after the year
1140.
The agreement was, in fact, a confirmation by Warine Bussel, with the
consent of his wife and children, of a former grant to the Ahl>ey, viz.— of
the church of Pcnwortham, together with those of Ley Land and Northmeols
and all their belongings and acquisitions ; and <>f the whole town of Fairing-
ton. In addition to tho former gift hereby ton firmed, Warine bestowed
upon the abb«y for the health of his soul, and the souls of his wife and
children, one teamland and a half of land in the town called Martin, with
the moiety of his stock there, viz. four cows, four oxen and three 9Core
sheep. He also bequeathed a second maniple, and his body for burial,
with his own third ]>art of his chattels, upon condition that three brethren
and a chaplain should henceforth minister in the church of Penwortham,
rendering the first year to the Abbot and monks of Evesham ten shillings in
charity, and in subsequent yrars two marks of silver, and further that they
should receive into the brotherhood his son Warine, if he wished to
become a monk. In this manner Warino confirmed the covenant quit of all
exaction and claim, so far as }>ertaiiiecl to him and his children, and laid it
uj)on the altar.
Tho witnesses on the part of the Abbot were — Ranulf, the clerk,
Constantine, the Abbot's Cliamberlain, and Rernaiil the Cook. On the part
of Warine — Walter, his knight, the said Walter's nephew, the son of Acard,
and William. ApjKirently none of his own children were old enough to
attend with him and attest the agreement.

NOTES.
Richard Bussel herein confirms to the church of Evesham the grant in
frankalmoign made by his father Warine, viz., the church of Penwortham
with tithes, Farrington, i.e., the township with appurtenances, two oxgangs of
land in Longton, 3*. yearly from the church of Leyland, two-thirds of the
tithe of his demesne there, 2s. yearly from the chapel of Northmeol«, two-
thirds of the tithe of his demesne in Freckleton and Warton, the free right
of fishing in the Kibble with one net, and tithe of the corody of his mansion,
t.&, of the provisions assigned to the use of his castle or mansion at
Penwortham.
Tn addition to his father's grants, Richard. Bussel granted to the Abbot a

free court at lYnwortham, in ail respects as freely as his father Warine held
his court, or he himself then held his ; and he bestowed upon the abbey these
further gifts,— the church of Ijeyland, the fourth fish from his fishery, which
was to be always fished with two nets, four oxgangs of land in Longton, one
oxgang in I'eiiwnrthum, and tlie ehaj>cl of Northmcols.
During his father's time, the abbey had only received jxmsions from the
church of Leyland, and from tin* chapel of Northmeols ; he now gives the
whole of these churches with their appurtenances. The abbey no longer held
the earucate and a half of laud in Martin. Instead of that land, the monks
had received two oxgangs in Longton, two-thirds of the tithes of the
demesne in Wart on and Freckleton, which manors had not yet been wholly
granted out, and certain tishing rights. This compensation, if we may call
it so, had been made by Richard Uussel, after his father's death, and after
the year 1153.
The witnesses were numerous, and as many of them held estates in
Lancashire, and their names occur but seldom, owing to the scarcity of Lanca-
shire charters of the 12th century, some attempt will l>e made to identify
them.
William; priest of the church of Preston, the advowson of which was at
this time vested in the Crown.
Lu'lpii, priest of the church of Croston, which had been given by Roger
the Poicteviu to St. Martin of Sees (Series II, No. 1). He was the incum-
bent under the Prior of Ijiucaster, who exercised the rights of patronage.
Eakwakd or Award, priest of the chapel of Tjongton.
(iKoffrky, OsiiEiix, and Ralph, chaplains in the church of Penworthatn.
Tt was a condition of Warine 1 tassel's grants to Evesham, that the abbey
should maintain three canons and a chaplain in that church (see No. II). It
had not yet been constituted a Priory under Evesham. That advancement
was set. *u red by the Hull of Tope Alexander III, dated at the Late ran, 3rd of
the nones of Manh, between the years 1159-1181.

between Kibble and Mersey, for a concord with the said Count. It is, how-
ever, hardly probable that this person is the witness named above.

in Thistleton ; and Adam de Bradkirk and others held 1 car. in Greenhalgh
by the service of one-twelfth part of a knight's fee, which latter had been
held before that date by Warine de Corney. As these estates were thus held
in 1242 directly of the Butlers of Ireland, it is probable that Warine, son of
Orm, son of Magnus, died without heir.
Of Swain Child nothing is known.
William, son op Alan, held 4£ team lands in Gunolfsmoors, i.e., in
Ollerton, Wheel ton, Hoghton, Withnell, Stan worth and Roddlesworth, and
Whittle-in- the- Wood, of the barony of Penwortham, by the feoffment of
Richard Bussel to Alan, son of Swain, father of the said William, as it is
recorded in the Testa de NevilL II, fol. 816, in these words : — " Kicardus
Bussel dedit Alano filio Swani in maritagio cum sorore sua iiij carucatas terra*
et dimidiam in Gunnolvesmores." His descendants afterwards released
their interest in these estates to Adam de Hoghton. (Dodsworth's MS.
GXLII, ff. 17b., 19b., 21).
Ughtrkd, son of Swaix, has not been identified.
Arthur de Ashton held one carucate of land in Ash ton, Tulketh, and
Ingol, near Preston, an escheated estate of William Peverel's, which John,
Count of Mortain, regranted and confirmed to the said Arthur, between the
years 1189 and 1194.
Swain de Penwortham and Adam his brother were probably of Freckle-
ton, where Richard, son of .Roger de Freckleton (then under age), held a
knight's fee in 1212.
SiBiLtiA and Matilda, sib ters of Kichard Bussel, were probably unmarried
at the date of this charter. They were most likely the two sisters who were
afterwards married by their brother to Kobert Hikeling and Bichard Spileman.

THE LANCASHIRE CHAKTULARY. 327
NOTES.
This is the earliest charter which has been found relating to the gift of
the hamlet of Kersall to the Abbey of Lenton. There has been some
uncertainty as to whether King Stephen or Earl Kanulf was the domr, but
as this charter is certainly a deed of gift in frankalmoign and not a Con-
firmation, the latter supposition appears to be the more probable of the two.
The gift was made with the object of establishing a place for the worship of
God, and included the right of pasturage in Broughton belonging to this
hamlet. The Earl also granted to the monks the liberty of enlarging their
property by making riddings (assarts) in the wastes, and fisheries in the
Irwell, or by any other means whereby their estate might be amplified and
benefitted. Broughton was a member of the demesne of the Honor,
consequently Kersall with its villeins passed directly into the hands of the
monks of Lenton, who even at the time of the Dissolution had a considerable
demesne here.
The date of this charter clearly corresponds with that of Series I,
Nos. VII and VIII, all of which Cadwalladr attested as " King of Wales," a
title explained in the notes to those charters. Maud, Countess of Chester
was a daughter of Robert, Earl of Gloucester ; Fitz Alan and Corbet have
been noticed ; .Robert the Dapifer or Seneschal occurs as early as circa 1120
in a Bassett charter preserved in Staffordshire Historical Collections,
Vol. Ill, p. 187 ; Richard le Boteler afterwards succeeded to the Barony of
Warrington ; Henry Purcel, a retainer of Eari Ranulfs ; William the
chaplain, who probably wrote the charter.
Among the various benefactors to the Abbey of Lenton we notice — Hugli
Buron, and his son Hugh Meschine, who gave a moiety of the church of
Cotgrave, co. Notts ; Richard Bussel, Baron of Penwortham, who gave the
church of Broughton in co. Leicester, parcel of the Honor of Lancaster ;
Matthew son of Matthew de Haversage, lord of Withington, who gave his
manors of Holme and Duston, near Chesterfield.1

NOTES.
The date «>f Henry Us confirmation is approximately fixed by the
lnoality at which it was expedited. The king was at Porcheater about
July August, 117 1, immediately before his embarkation for Normandy,
wheiv he spent the following nine months. He was probably there again
in the Spring of 1176. Jialph lit/. Bernard commenced his Shrievalty of
Ijiiiieaster about Easter, 1171, ami continued in office for eleven yeaiw. The
date U pnihably 1 171-1 17b', as there is no evidence that the King visited
I\»rchej4er again.
King John refei's to this confirmation in his charter confirming the
Hermitage of Kcrshal to the Monks of Lenton, which bears date the
2nd April, 1200. The following is a translation of the latter charter so far
as it relates to Kerwill. "John, by the grace of God, King of England
&e. . . . We also grant and by this ear charter confirm to the same
iiionk> of Lenton for our own and our heir.*' welfare, and for the souls of
Kinir Henry our father, and King Henry our grandfather and our ancestors,
the Hermitage of Kcrshal with all its appurtenances in free, pure, and

NOTES.
This is a grant of land in Audenshaw, in the pariah of Ashton-under-
Lyne by one Matthew son of Edith to the monks of Kersall, within bounds
described as follows — " From the syke which runs down between the ridding
of William son of Gamel and Chetel's Croft, going up the same to the moss,
from thence across to the mickle ditch, from thence going up to the moss and
from the moss across to Osuel's leach, from thence descending to Green brook
and from Green brook descending to the syke which runs down between the
ridding of William son of Ganiel and Chetel's croft." None of these
boundaries can be identified to-day, and therefore the locality of the land
cannot be ascertained. The witnesses were Roger de Middleton, lord of
Middleton ; Alexander de Pilkington, lord of the same ; Robert de Byron,
lord of Clayton ; Ellis de Pendlebury, lord of the same ; Henry de Chetham,
lord of the same ; and Ralph de Moston.
The date lies between 1190 and 1212.
1 In another MS. (Towneley's MS. " By.'\ No. 80, S.D.), " Infia has divisas,
scilicet a iica qua; cadit inter assartum Willelmi filii Gamel et Ketellescroft, ascen-
dendo illain sicam usque Aldwynshay, ct deinde ascendendo usquo ad magnum

Which is thus translated — "The devisez of Willm dede Hopsan (sic) beginning

the ditch to Aldwynshawe, and fro Aldwjnshawe into the Mikell ditch, and fro

NOTES.
The date of this composition is ascertained by the fact that Eustace,
who was Bishop of Ely from 10th August, 1197 (consecrated 8th March,
1198), until 4th February, 1215, and Richard Barre, who was Archdeacon
of Ely from 1191 until early in the reign of King John, were arbitrators
in the dispute which had arisen between Albert de Nevill, Rector of
Manchester, and the Prior and monks of Lenton, of whose house the
hermitage of Kersall was a filiation. This dispute had arisen from the
infringement of the rights of the mother church of Manchester by the
monks of Kersall, in exercising the right of sepulture, and receiving
oblations, and withdrawing tithes which rightly belonged to Manchester.
The terms of the agreement were as follows :— The monks of Kersall
undertook to make a yearly gift on the feast of the Assumption of two
candles, each of 1$ lb. of wax, in return for a release of the right of
sepulture of the mother church over the monks and their men, and they

NOTES.
The date of this charter lies between 1240 and 1259, probably nearer
the earlier date. As but few documents relating to Kersall are known to
exist, it has been included in this collection notwithstanding the date.
The land which Prior Hugh granted to Robert le Rous was evidently part
of the tract in Audenshaw given to Lenton by Matthew son of Edith
(No. III). The bounds are thus described: — "From the place where
Bentley brook falls into Gorbrook, by Gorbrook up to Gordean-head and so
across to the moss, from thence going down into Osel-leach, and by the
same back to Gorbrook." Robert le Rous undertook not to assign this
land to any great or powerful person, nor to religious men, nor Jews. His
yearly service was half a mark, due upon the feast of St. Oswald the king,
and he swore upon the sacred elements to observe fealty to the house of
Lenton and monks of Kersall, as regards this yearly form, and in other
matters. "Which ceremony his heirs were likewise to observe after him.
Further he gave his body to the monks of Kersall for burial there,
and a third part of his goods at his death, notwithstanding the rights
of the mother church of Ashton. The witnesses were Sir Geoffrey
de Chetham, who was knighted before 1235, Richard de Trafford,
Robert de Byron of Clayton, Robert de Shoresworth, William de Heaton
of Great Heaton, Kalph de Ancoats, Hugh de Haselham, and William de
Droylsden.

NOTES.
Tlie Leper Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene of Preston occupied a site
close to Tulketh Hall. There is some probability that the founder was
Stephen, ('mint of Mortain, afterwai'ds King of England, and tliat the
date of the foundation was in or soon after 1127, when the monks of
Savigny removed from their house at Tulketh to their new poHHessions in
Fumes*. (See Series IV'., No. I.) The above letters of protection contain
the first reference to this Hospital that has been found.
This charter was expedited at Garsington, in Oxfordshire, but the year
cannot be stated with certainty as there is no record of t lie king having
visited that place between J 177-1188. Alnmt the -1th June, 1177, the
king, at Winchester, appointed linger, a Knight-Templar, to be his Almoner.
The king was in the north of England se\eral times during the years
1178 11 8f>. It is therefore probable that this charter was executed during
that period, after his return from one of these visits.

NOTES.
In the hitter part of th*^ reign of Henry II, a number of Cistercian
monks from Kuriicss Abliey removed into Wyreadale, and there founded an
Abbey, as m filiation of Kurness. The site of this Abliey is unknown, as
also the donor of the land upon which it was established. In the account
of the various foundations which emanated from Finn ess, the Coucher
(Vol. I, ful. lb) states:- "Abbatia de Wethneya piimo fundata fuissct in
1 Cfatham Sovt VuV F.8 to -10, New Series.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 337
Wyresdale, sed ipsa fundatione retracta, radices fixit in Hybernia, ubi raodo
.cpDstructa est,, et de Furnesio exivit." This refers to Wotheney Abbey,
co. Limerick. Charter No. Ill of this Series shows that the foundation at
Wotheney was due to the munificence of Theobald Walter, who is said to
have been created Chief Butler of Ireland by Henry II in 1177, when he
'attended that sovereign upon his Irish expedition. He also attended John,
Count of Mortain, in the expedition of 1185, and was the leader of the
English at Cork, when Dermot, King of Cork, was slain.1 He was after-
wards possessed of the Baronies of Upper and Lower Ormonde, and other
estates in co. Limerick. In 1194, no doubt in consideration of his services
"to King Richard, in quelling the rebellion of John, then Count of Mortain,
under whom he held the fee of Weeton, the King gave him the whole
•Hundred of Amounderness (see page 81). Immediately afterwards he
presented the abbot and monks of Wyresdale to the church of St. Michael-
on-Wyre, and William de Chimelli, Archdeacon of Richmond, by the above
charter granted it to them with its appurtenances, to appropriate to their
own use, on condition that they discharged the episcopal claims, and assigned
a vicarage in the church, with suitable provision for the support and vesture
of the vicar.
This was witnessed by Hubert, brother of Theobald, who had been
created Archbishop of Canterbury .in 1193; Hugh de Novant, Bishop of
Coventry and Lichfield, who died 27th April, 1198; Theolrald Walter
himself ; Ranulf, Treasurer of Salisbury, then or soon after Parson of the
church of Wigan ; Gilbert de Kentwell, a Norfolk baron, and also a military
tenant of the Honor of Lancaster in Thurston, co. Suffolk ; and Simon of
the Chamber.

NOTES.
In accordance with the conditions of the Archdeacon's grant of the
church of St. Michael-on-Wyre, the Abbot and monks of Wyresdale shortly
afterwards made the following agreement with H. the chaplain. That he
should be the monks' chaplain in tliat church for life, or should find at his
own charges another competent chaplain, who should first do fealty to the
Abbot and monks. For this service they granted to him the land on the
eastern side of the church, and the fishery belonging thereto, and the fishing
from the bridge eastward, and the land from the church extending east-
ward ; and half a mark of silver yearly for his vicarage and for his faithful
service, to wit, forty pence at St. Michael, and the same at Easter. They
declared their intention to appoint a clerk to serve the church with the said
chaplain, and to place whom they chose in the same, to collect all oblations,
obventions, tenths and other ecclesiastical emoluments, together with the
bequests of the dying, and altarage. They also stipulated that the said
chaplain should pay tithe of his corn, fish, cattle, and other moveable goods,
which he might possess within that parish. And so long as they possessed
that benefice, they undertook to warrant to him the said land on the eastern
side of the church. They also reserved to themselves the right to erect a
mill in any portion of that land, without the chaplain having any power to
claim right of multure.
The Abbot and monks promised truthfully to keep this covenant, and
H. the chaplain swore upon the altar in the church of St. Mary of Lancaster,
before the chapter of I ian caster, to faithfully observe the same in all things,
and for greater security he found the following sureties, both clerics and
laymen — Adam, Dean of Lancaster ; Benedict Gernet, perhaps parson of
Halton ; Roger, parson of Heversham, who witnessed a contemporary charter
of Henry, son of Norman de Redman, lord of Levens ; Robert, parson of
Garstang, who occurs as a witness to a charter to Furness about this time ;
Alexander, parson of Clapham ; Richard, parson of Poulton, who witnessed
a charter of William, son of Richard de Bispham to Cockersand Abbey ;
Adam, parson of Burton in Lonsdale, who witnessed a contemporary charter
respecting the church of Garstang (Cockersand Chartulary, p. 335) ;
Benedict, chaplain of Tatham, who recovered twenty acres of land in Tatham
against William, son of Archil of Stackhouse, in the year 1202 ; Robert, son
of Bernard, probably of Goosnargh ; Master W. de Garstaug and Paulyn de
Garstang, wjio held lands in Garstang, the former perhaps a clerk connected
with the manorial court of the fee of Garstang, of which H el wise de

enforce the provisions of the agreement, subjecting either party to the
forfeiture of five marks for breach of contract
The witnesses were- Ralph Fietham, abbot of Furness ; Thomas, the
first recorded abbot of Cockersand, then called the abbey of the marsh
(fie marisco) ; William, prior of Lancaster ; 1)., prior of Cartmel, who was the
predecessor of William, prior in or before a.d. 1199; and R. the first
recorded prior of Conishead.
The date of this charter is clearly subsequent to that of No. I. It is also
before 1199, as William was prior of Cartmel iu or before that year.

NOTES.
Although it is said that Wotheney Abbey was founded in the year 1188,
the preceding charters prove that the monks of Wyresdale did not remove
thither until certainly after 1195. Theobald Walter wan buried there in
120G. Wotheney appears to have been a cant red in the parish of Abington,
co. Limerick. The above letter certifies that Theobald's charter, to the
monks who removed from Furness, of land granted in frankalmoign iu
the cantred of Wotheiiey-Tathelan, or Wotheney-Fernan, was the first of
any of the deeds of gift which he had made of lands there. The probability
is that the colony of monks in Wyresdale removed to Wotheney circa 1198,
or between 1195 and 1199.

NOTES.
Cartmel is not mentioned in Domesday nor any of its townships, unless
one of the two "cherc-nebi" mentioned on fol. 301, col. 2, refers to it, and
the other to Kirkby in Kendal. In 1100, Cartmel being ]>arcel of the
royal demesne rendered 2£ marks to the Aid to marry King Henry II.'s
eldest daughter Matilda (page 13). About Christmas, 1185, the King
granted it to William Marshall, the whole district being rated at nine
teamlands or carucates, which had been farmed by the Sheriff for £32
yearly, which he accounted for in the Corpus Comitates at each Michaelmas
audit at the Exchequer (p. 09). According to Dugdale (ride Monasticon,
Vol. VI., p. 454), William Mai-shall founded the Priory here in the year 1188,
a date which seems to be a few years too early judging by the evidence of
this charter. In the Testa de A'evill (Vol. II., f. 835) in the Inquest of co.
Lancaster of a.d. 1212, it is recorded that "the lord King gave Kertmel
to William Marescall, and lie gave it to the canons of Bradenstoke in alms,
to wit, nine carucates of land, whereof they have the charter of the said
William, and the confirmation of the lord King [John] and his ancestors."
From this it appears that Marshall brought a colony of Black Canons from
the Priory of Bradenstoke, in co. Wilts., and settled them here, granting to
God, and his most blessed mother Mary, and to the said canons his whole
land of Kertmel with all the appwtenauces, "for the welfare of the soul of
1 Exemplifications of this charter arc to be found in the Confirmation of

King Henry II, and for the soul of King Henry the younger, my lord, and
for the soul of King Richard, for my own soul, and the soul of Isabel, me
wife." The said Prince Henry, whom he calls his lord, died of dysentery at
Martel, a village between Brives and Cahors, on the 11th June, 1183.
William Marshall was in attendance upon him at the time of his death.
The grant also included the church of Cartmel and all its chapels, and
contains a long recital of the liberties, emoluments, and advantages com-
prised therein. He also declared a special provision touching the appoint-
ment of Prior, as follows. " I will and appoint that the said house and
canons shall select two canons and present them to me, William Marescall
their patron, or to my heirs, so that he whom our joint sense shall choose,
shall be made Prior, and whoever shall be appointed Prior there shall for
ever have the office and name of Prior only, so that no abbey shall ever be
made of that priory. And this house I have founded for the increase of
holy religion, giving and granting thereto whatsoever liberty the mouth
can speak, or the heart of man desire."
The witnesses were William, Earl of Salisbury ; John the grantor's
brother, who held the manor of Hampstead Marshal, co. Berks., with the
office of Marshal of the King's Court attached thereto, which upon his
death in March, 1194, devolved upon his said brother William ; Geoffrey
fitz Piers, Chamberlain to Henry II ; Robert de Berkeley ; Geoffrey fitz
Robert ; Richard de Mucegros ; Ralph Bloet ; Philip de Prendergast ;
John de Erley ; William de St. Leger ; Nicholas Avenell ; Richard de
Stutecumb ; William Walleran ; Philip de Salisbury ; Roger the chaplain ;
Joceline, Michael, and Pentecost, clerks, and others. Many of these were
Wiltshire and Dorsetshire men, and some connected with the Honor of
Strigul. William Marshall having married, as is well known, Isabel de
Clare, the heiress of Pembroke, in August, 1189 (whose marriage he liad
received from Henry II), was probably considered Earl of Strigul, or
Pembroke jure uxorU, by virtue of which it is said that he was bearer of
the sceptre with the cross at the first coronation of Richard I, 3rd
September, 1189 {vide " The Complete Peerage " by G. E. C, Vol. VI., p. 198).
The date evidently lies between the accession of King Richard in 1189,
and the death of John Marshall, the grantor's brother in March, 1 194, but
probably it was early in 1190.

The confirmation of Cartinel, i.e., the whole district comprised within the
IKiriuh of Cartmel, to William Marshall by John, Count of Mortain, would
probably follow immediately upon King Henry's grant to the latter of the
Honor of Lancaster, about Midsummer 1189 (page 73). In this document
the service to be done to Count John is stated to be homage and the service
of one knight's fee for all services and customs. It is to be noted that in the
subsequent continuation he again reserves this service, but after the forfeiture
of the Houor in 1194, no more is heard of this service.

NOTES.
The form of this confirmation is somewhat unusual. "John, Count of
Mortain, to all his friends and freemen, French and English, greeting.
Know that I have granted, and by my present charter confirmed, for the
health of my soul, and the souls of my ancestors, that William Marshall may
establish a house of religion of any kind he likes in the land of Cartmel, and
that he, William, may give to tliat house [and to those] who shall serve God
there, Cartmel, with all its appurtenances, in perpetual alms, for the health
of his soul and the souls of his ancestors, as freely and fully in all things as I
myself grauted, and by my charter confirmed it to the same William."
Witnesses, Stephen Ridel, the Count's Chancellor, William Avenell, Roger
de Amundevifle, William de Turbeville, and Ralph de Ardern. The date
would be shortly after that of No. I, probably in 1190.

NOTES.
Roger, son of Ravenkil and his supposed father Ravenkil, son of
Raghnald, have been noticed already as Thanes of Wood-plumpton, in
Amounderness. The former is mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry I
(page 1), and again in that of 16 Henry II (page 16). Apparently he died
shortly before the 22 Henry II, in which year his son Richard, the founder
of the Priory, proffered 5 marks to the Justices for an inquiry touching
Kirkby, which had been taken into the King's hands, because he had
348 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
married his eldest daughter without the King's licence. He held Kirkby of
the Constable of Chester, it is believed in right of his wife Margaret,
daughter and co-heir of Thurstan Banastre, younger brother of Robert
Banastre of Prestatyn (pages 32 and 43). He died between Mich. 1200, and
the same feast in 1201, when Rol>ert de Stockport proftercd 200 marks and
5 palfreys to have his land, and a further 100*. and a palfrey to liave the
King's confirmation of the charter respecting Lytham, which the King as
Count of Mortain had granted to the said Richard (jKiges 130 and 137).
The charter referred to, passed at Long Marton, 26th Feb., 1201, and
in it the King confirmed the grant which he had made when Count of
Mortain, to Richard son of Roger touching two carucates of land which he
had in Lidhum, to be bestowed upon religious men, and the remission of
the service of that land. {Charter Itoll, 2 John, m. 10.) In the Inquest of
co. Lane;ister made in 1212, we read "the heirs of Richard son of Roger
hold 9 carucates of land in thanage, for which they used to render yearly
three marks. The lord King by his charter released to the house of
Lithum 8*. 8c/." yearly service. {Testa de Xevill, Vol. II., f. 819.)
Of the foundation charter itself, an abstract in English will not bo
superfluous. "Richard son of Roger to all men French and English, &c,
sends greeting. Know that I have granted in frankalmoign, with the
consent of Margaret, my wife, and my heirs, for the health of the soul of
my lord, Count John [of Mortain], and for the souls of my father, and
mother, my own soul and the souls of my heirs, to God, St. Mary, and
St. Cuthbert and the monks of Durham, all my land of Lythum, with the
church of that town, and all things appurtenant to that church, for the
establishment there of a house of their order, within these bounds, to wit
from the ditch on the western side of the burial yard of Kilgriniol (now
]>art of St. Anne's-on-the-Sea), above which I have erected a cross, westward
unto the sea ; and again from that ditch and cross, over to wards the east
along by the Cursidmere, over the great moss and the stream unto Balholm
(now Ballam), which said stream runs towards Suinebrigg (now Bowgrave
Bridge /) ; Jigain from Balholm in a straight line over the moss, which lord
Jolin, Count of Moreton, divided between himself and me, unto the northern
side of Estholni-ker (now Eastham), following eastward unto the margin
of the water which comes from Bircholm, and separates Estholm-ker
and Brining-ker (/.<?., between Eastham and Bryning), following that
division of water between us southward unto the ford (/) l>etween Estholme
and Couburgh, thence returning towards the west, and fetching a compass
southward over the moss into the Pull beyond Snart's-alte where it falls
upon the sea shore, and so going towards the south across unto the Ribill
at the mid-stream, following the mid-stream {filum) of that water west-
ward unto the sea, and so to the aforesaid ditch and cross ; and all
the marsh between the said bounds with the eyes (or holmes) which
are therein. Wherefore I will that the monks have and hold, and for
ever possess in their own demesne this grant of all my land of Lythum,
with all the appurtenances as well in lands cultivated as uncultivated, in
wood and plain, in meadows and j>astures, moors, mosses and marshes, waters
and mills, millpools and fisheries, in the sands when the tide has ebbed,
together with all the emoluments which may be in any wise derived
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 349
therefrom, with entries and exits, and all other liberties, easements, rights
and dues belonging to that land ; and also the church of the same town
with its appurtenances, as freely and fully as any other alms within the
Archbishopric of York may be had and possessed by any religious men.
And I will and by this my charter confirm that the Prior and monks of
Durham shall remove and establish Priors and monks there to serve God,
the blessed Mary, and St. Cuthbert. With warranty against all, both men
and women. But if any of my heirs or others shall in anywise presume to
contravene this my gift, may he incur the anger of God, the blessed Mary
and the glorious confessor St. Cuthbert, and be subject to their vengeance."
The witnesses to the grant were very numerous. Simon, who was
probably the chamberlain of the Bishop of Durham, Master Richard de
Coldingham, Master Henry de Durham, Hugh de Ferte, Master Walter,
Dean of Pittington, Master Walter de Haddington, Master Robert de
Edington, Master Walter de Durham, who were all clergy of the diocese
of Durham. Robert de Stockport and William de Mullum, husbands of
two of the grantor's daughters ; Robert, son of Henry, lord of Lathom ;
Richard, son of Robert, his eldest son and heir ; William, son of Swain of
Carleton and Marton ; Adam, dean of Kirkham ; Richard, clerk of Kirk-
Poulton or Poulton-le-Fylde. The others were all Durham men, connected
with the estates of the Bishop and Prior.
The date of the foundation and of the above charter was undoubtedly
during the time that John, Count of Mortain, was lord of Lancaster, i.e.,
1189 to 1194, probably nearer the first-mentioned year.

THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 351
NOTES.
The early descents of the Lathoms of Lathom have been elaborated by
the late George Ornierod in his Parentalia, p. 63, and the results generally
appear to be justified by the evidence which he quotes from the Inquest
of co. Lancaster, made in the year 1212 (Testa cfe Nevffl). The essay is
however, unfortunately marred by an ill-considered attempt (page 65) to prove
that the wife of Robert, son of Henry, the founder, was the heiress, or
coheiress of Orm, son of Ailward, the original grantee from the Grelleys, of
Ashton-under-Lyne, and Dalton, Parbold and Wrightington. Upon this
more will be said hereafter. Another unsatisfactory statement (page 66) is
that in which Mr. Ormerod assumes that the Lathoms derived Ormskirk
from Orm, son of Magnus, whose wife Aliz was the sister of Hervey Walter,
lord of Weeton, or Witheton, in Amounderness. As the estates with which
this marriage was endowed reverted to the chief lords, the Butlers of
Ireland (Testa de Nevill, Vol. II., ff. 818, 790) it seems much safer to assume
that the heirs begotten of this union died without issue. (See Series V, No.
IV, Notes.) It is a generally recognised fact that a church and parish exist-
ing in the twelfth century were of Saxon or pre-conquest foundation. The
tradition, if such ever existed, that Ormskirk was founded by, and derived
its name from the above-mentioned Orm, is the wild invention of a credulous
and uncritical mind, and can only be perpetuated by such.
Robert, son of Henry, the founder of Burscough Priory, appears to be
named in the Pipe Roll of 15 Henry II., 1168-9 (p. 12), as having contributed
10 marks to the aid granted in 1166 to marry Matilda, the King's eldest
daughter. He married firstly before the year 1178, a lady whose name has
not been preserved, and secondly ■, Aniabil, daughter of Simon, who survived
him, and was suing her stepson Richard, son of Robert de Lathom, for her
dower, in the King's Court, about Midsummer, 1199. By line made 29th
Oct., 1199, she obtained Knowsley and Anlezargh for term of her life.
The Testa de Nevill thus refers to this foundation. " The said Robert
. . . made a certain house of religion, to wit Burescoch, and gave one
carucate of land to the said house in alms." (Vol. II., f. 812.) The carucate
of land was the township of Marton. The following is an abstract of the
charter.
" Be it known to all the sons of holy mother church, present and to come,
that I, Robert, son of Henry, by the consent of my heir have given, &c, in
frankalmoign, to God and the church of the blessed Nicholas of Burscough,
and the canons there by rule serving God, that land which is at the head of
Burscogh, along the boundary of the land of Stephen the Bald unto Egacres,
between tho high road of Wirplesmos (? near Cross Hall) and the
stream of Egacres unto the boundary between Ormeschirche (Ormskirk) and
Brakenes-thweit (Brackenthwaite), and so unto Scarth (Scarth Hill) and
from Scarth unto Westheft (Westhead) and to the brook of Scakeresdale-
hefd (Scath-acres-dale-head ?), and so by the brook (Castle brook or Park
brook) unto the ford which leads from Alton (Dalton) to Urlton (Harlton,
oli/a Hurleton), and from that fold across to the boundary between Geoffrey
Travers and Stephen the Bald, and the whole underwood of Grittebi
(Greetby) with the riddings which lie around it, to wit, the land of Robert
.352 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTDLAKY.
the Carpenter, with Rrakenestweit, and land of Richard, younger son of
Robert and Amabil his wife, together with the land of Matthew son of
Baldwin, I have also given them the whole town of Merton (a lost township,
through which Martin lane passes, now involved in Burscough), with all its
appurtenances, in wood and plain, meadows and feeding grounds, with
Tharlescogh (Tarlscough) and all other easements. I also grant that they
may have their court with all the lil>erties which I myself have. I have also
given them the church of Onneschirche, and the church of Huton (Huyton),
and the church of Flixton, with all their appurtenances. I have also granted
for the requirements of the said canons, my mill of Lathum and all the mills
of my demesne lands, both those which may be, and those which liave been
made. And I grant to the canons and their men a share of the issues of the
eatage and pmnage of all my underwoods. Also I have given them the
place of St. Leonard of Cnusleie (Knowsley) with its appurtenances, and I
grant to the canons and their men firewood in all my underwoods
except Burgechou. I give these alms, free from all dues, pleas, or disturb-
ance, and defended by myself and my heirs against forinsec service to our
lords, for the souls of King Henry the elder (i>., the Second), and his Queen,
King Henry the younger (/.e., Prince Henry), and John, Count of Mortune,
and for my own, and my wife's soul, and for the souls of my father, mother,
ancestors and successors. Whosoever shall increase or maintain this my gift,
may he, by participation of the benefits of that church, win the heavenly
kingdoms, but whosoever shall in any wise injure, or attempt to despoil it,
may he suffer eternal torments with the devil and his angels, unless he repent
and make full amendment."
Witnesses — Robert, Archdeacon of Chester, who held that office from 1149
to 1192; Henry, Prior of Norton (1178-1100); Peter, chaplain of Bury;
William, chaplain of St. Leonard, of Knowsley ; Patrick, [parson] of
Prestcote ; Richard, son of Henry, ancestor of the Torbock family, and
brother of the grantor ; Richard le Waleys, lord of Aughton, and Up Lither-
land ; Henry Travels, a free tenant in Lathoni ; Robert, son of Richard, and
Richard his brother, probably sons of Richard de Torbock ; Henry de
Radelifte, ancestor of the Radcliffes of RidcliiFe ; and Gilbert, son of
Waldeve, of Walton, near West Derby, master Serjeant of the Wapentake of
West Derbv.
As legards the date of this charter, the dedication of the gift for the
health of the soul, amongst others, of Count John, points to the Honor of
Lancaster as having been then bestowed upon the Count, while the omission
of King Richard's name points to a date before that monarch's accession to
the Crown. These limits if reliable would give a date between Midsummer
and September, llHf). In any ease the presence of Gilbert, son of Waldeve,
fixes the date before* Michaelmas, HOG, when his heir fined for his relief
(]>age 90). Rut again, the presence of Henry, Prior of Norton, makes the
year 11 1)0 a more probable limit. The latter's presence, coupled with the
fact that the grantor held Knowsley and its members of the Constable of
Chester, suggests that the canons established at Rurscough came from
Norton, co. Chester, a house of August in ian canons, of the same order as this
new foundation.

[Uredlc, senior] gave to Henry, son of Si ward, one carueateof land in FJixton
by [the yearly service of] 10*." The heirs hold that land." (Vol. H.,fol. 823.)
This represented only a moiety of the township, but included the church. The
other moiety was held in chief by the elder line of 11 niton of Hulton.
By the aliove charter, Roger, son of Henry, a younger brother, as I
suppose, of Richard de Torbock, and Ileury, son of Bernard, perhajw his
nephew, of Parbold, " inspired by affection, gave to Henry, son of Richard
de Torbock, clerk, the church of Flixton with its appurtenances and possce-
pioiiH, to hold in pure alms for the term of his life." The witnesses were
R[ol>ert tie Denton], abbot of Furness ; the priors of Cartinel and Lancaster ;
Master Richard de Marcys, clerk in the Chancery, and Bishop of Durham in
1217 ; Ttoliert de Walton, parson [of Walton, near West Derby] ; Patrick de
Prestt'ote [parson of the same] ; Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who was Sheriff of
Jjaut-aster for fi(»me years from Easter, 120f> ; William le Boteler of Warring-
on ; Richard, son of Rolicrt, lord of Lathom ; Roger de Middlcton, of Middle-
ton in Salfordshire ; Alexander de Pilkington of the same; Hugh le Norreys
of Blackrod ; William Rlundell of Ince Blundell, and others. The date was
most likely between 1205 and 1208, as appears by the following acknowledg-
ment touching the right of presentation to Flixton exercised in thw
chatter.

NOTES.
The presentation made in the last charter appears to have l)een opposed
by the Prior of Burscough, to whom the church of Flixton had been given by
Robert, son of Henry de Lathom as part of the original endowment of the
Priory. It is not easy to fathom the intricacies of title caused by the com-
plicated sub-infeudati< ns of early times, but one thing is clear, that the
dispute between the Prior and those who claimed the right to next presenta-
tion had been taken into the King's Court, with the result that a precept had
been issued directing the Sheriff to summon a jury of grand astize to view the
premises, and to return their finding or verdict. The above is the letter or
certificate which was directed to the Bishop as a result of the judgment
of the King's Court upon the verdict of the recognitoi-s. It reads as
follows : —

lency know that by precept of the lord King, we by our oaths have recog-
nized that. Henry, son of Sywerd, last presented in the time of peace to the

and Henry, son of Bernard, succeed, to whom the right of patronage of that
church belongs, who also as the true pat ions are presenting to the church of
Klixton, which is void, Henry, son of Richard, their clerk, and have pre-
viously presented him before Master Richard [de Marreys], clerk of the
lord King, and Philip de Orrebi, Justiciar of Chester, and Gilbert fitz

Geoffrey de Muschamp was consecrated Rishop of Coventry and Lichfield
21st June, 1 108. He died Gth OctoWr, 1208. The date of this letter there-
fore lies between tho.se years. The recognitors or jurors were all important
Lancashire men. Henry de Bury does not often occur, he may have been
either father, or Younger brother of Adam, lord of Bur>* in 1212. Henrv.
son of Si ward, who had last presented, was of course the father of the founder
of Rurscough. His heirs, after the f < Hinders death, appear to have been the
hitter's younger brother Roger, and iiossibly his nephew Henry, who seems
to be the Henry, son of Bernard, lord of Rarbold, who made numerous grants
to the Priory. The clerk whom they presented was undoubtedly Henry, a

NOTES.
Some uncertainty exists as to the true founder of the Hospital of
Conishead. In a Feodary of the Duchy of Lancaster, quoted by Dodsworth
(MS., Vol. CXXXI, f. 1-84), it is stated that Gamel de Penyngton was the first
founder in the time of Henry II. In the confirmation of Edward II, made
in the 12th year of his reign, the King confirms to the canons of Conishead
the gift which Gamell de Penygton made to the canons of the same place
(j'.e., (Jouyngeslieved) "of the church of Penigton with the appurtenances,
and the church of Molcastre (now Muncaster, co. Cumb.) with the chapels
and all other appurtenances, and the church of Wytebec (now AVhitbeck,
co. Cumb.) with the appurtenances, and the church of Sker-overton (now
Orton, co. Westm.) with all the appurtenances, and Pultone with its
rightful boundaries." The probability that he was the first founder is
strengthened by the fact that Roger, Archbishop ' of York, who died
in 1181, confirmed the churches of Pennington, Muncaster, and Whitbeck
to the bretluen of the Hospital of Conishead, thus fixing the date of the
1 Trandekeld. Pat 12 Edw. II.

foundation sometime before that year. (See No. IV.) Pultone was Poulton
in Jjonsdale, which John, Prior of this house, released to William de Paries
by tine levied at Lancaster in 1235 (Lam:. Filial Concord*, p. G3). 15cnet, son
of the said (iamel, afterwards confirmed the gift of the church of Muncaster.
(See No. III.) l>y others the foundation of this house has been attributed to
William de I*iucaster II, who was lord, or reputed baron of Kendal from
1170 to J 184. lie richly endowed this house with lands in Ulverston, as
appears from the documents comprised in this series, but it is quite
possible that the first jxirt of ( 'barter No. I. is really a confirmation by the
chief lord of GameFs original gift. The estate therein described adjoins
the township of Pennington, and the dedication clause seems to refer to the.
canons as being already established in their house of Uonvngesheved. It
is unfortunate that the originals of these grants have not been found, nor
any Chartulary of the Priory, so that uncertainty upon this point is likely to
continue. It 1ms even been necessary, in order to present to the reader the
form of these gifts, to attempt a reconstruction of the originals from the
abbreviated forms preserved in the Confirmation of Edward II. The
interest which attaches to the reconls of the foundation of this house must
be a sufficient excuse for the liberty which has been taken.
In the above grant, a 4 given in the Patent Roll of 12 Edward II,
William de Lancaster II gives to Ci»k1 and St. Mary and the house
of Conynge.sheved (now Conishcad), and to the brethren dwelling there
the whole of Uonvngesheved with all the land belonging to the said
house, namely, on either side of the road which leads from Berdesey
(Hardsey) and extends towards Ulverston, and from the KiDg's highway
(Ijetweeu Ulverston and Dal ton) unto Tnmdekcld (now Trinkeld), and
thence to the sea shore ; 'and the church of Ulverston with its chapels and
all appurtenances (which would probably include ITawkshead chapel, see
No. IV.), and forty acres of land in the town-Held of Ulverston near the
said brethren's land, and a salt pit between the house of ( onyngesheved and
Ulverstone-pule (now ( -arterpool), and turves out of the grantor's turbary
sufficient for the use of the said house and the working of the salt pit, and
]>asturage. and dead wood (for fuel) from beyond the Lauud of Plunibton, and
building material out of his woodlands in Kornays (Kurness), and all
necessaries to suffice for the requirements of that house, and common of
pasture belonging to his land of Ulverston, and common right in all
easements there. He also granted that the said brethren should be quit of
the pannage of all their pigs throughout all his underwoods of Fornays
(i.e., that their pigs should feed upon the mast within his woods, free from
payment of the usual charge for that liberty).
The date of this charter was before 1184, in which year the grantor died.
Probably it lay between 1 180 ami 1184.
1 From this point the charter undoubtedly expresses a grunt of land and
tenements, parcel of the Ulverston demesne, and not a confirmation of a
previous grant of laud* held under de Lancaster bv service.

By this grant William de Lancaster II. augmented the propeity of the
can on h of Conishead by the addition of the estate of Garscowe (now Gascow),
lying between Conishead and Ulverston. The page of the Furness Coucher
upon which this charter is recoi-ded, lias been mutilated by the removal of an
illuminated initial letter, consequently it is .difficult to follow the details of

the boundary. Apparently it commenced at a point to the east of Gascow,
where the moss and haitl land met, and followed a ridge of ground in a
straight line to some mark on the west, from thence it followed a road,
ditch, or other feature back to the boundary of the canons' land, enclosing the
estate of Gascow. The grantor also gave them common of pasture in all his
feeding grounds and pastures in the territory of the town of Ulverston, to
common with all manner of beasts at all times of the year, and common
right and dead wood for fuel in four hundred acres of land within the
enclosure or Park of Plmiiton, and turves from his turbary in Plum ton as
much as they might require for the use of their house of Conyngesheved, and
for their salt pits.
The estate of Gascow lies between the original estate of (Jonishead, and
a third addition to those estates, described in a charter of William de
Lancaster III. (1220-1246) in which he granted to this house, which had then
attained to the degree of a Priory, all his land within these bounds,
" beginning at the sea shore where the King's highway leaves Leven sands,
following that road to the high road which runs from Swenebroc towards
Ulverston, along that road unto the head of Garthscohlac (Gascow leach), so
descending by Garthscohlac to the highway which runs from ( -unyngesheved
to Ulverston, following the same road unto the head of the arable land
towards Ulverston, so following around Garthseoh between the hard land
and the wet unto the moss, and so going down by the moss unto the brook
which runs down from Garthscoh, following the same unto Ulverston, and so
going down by Ulverston-pul to the sea shore aforesaid, and so across by
the shore unto the said raid where it leaves the shore, and so from the shore
at their salt pits as aforesaid." These boundaries appear to enclose a con-
siderable extent of ground lying to the N.E. of Gascow, known at the
present day as Oxen Holme, and bringing the possessions of the Priory
close to the open fields of Ulverston.

" To all the sons of holy mother church, present and to come, Benet
(Benedictus) de Wellington sends greeting. Know ye that I have granted
and by this my charter confirmed — with the consent of Alan my heir — to
the Hospital uf St. Mary of Cuningeshof, and the brethren of the same
place, the church of Molecastre and chapel of St. Aldeburge, with all its
appurtenances in pure and perpetual alms for the health of my soul, and of
my wife Anneis (Anice) and of all our jwirents. This gift was made in the
fat e of the whole chapter of Lancaster, with these witnesses, Master Theobald,
vice -Archdeacon (of Richmond) ; Adam, dean (of Kirkham) ; Adam (parson)
of Kirkebi-Lonesdale ; A chard, (parson) of Kirkebi-Kendale ; Daniel
(parson) of Aldingham ; Roger (|)arson) of Kirkebi-Irlid (Irleth) ; Robert
(parson) of Ulfestun ; William (parson) of Wartuii ; Robert (parson) of
Prestun ; Roger (parson) of Heueresheim (Heversham) ; Ralph (parson) of
Hesheim (Heysliam) ; and Robert (parson) of Gairstang."
It may be asked upon what grounds all these persons are called " ])arson "
of the places named. The answer is, that not unfrequently the names of
clergy appear, in attesting charters of this period, without the addition in
a single instance of the title of parson or clerk. In this case the charter
says that it was executed " in the face of the whole chapter of Lancaster,"
consequently many of the clergy present would have attested it. Moreover,
Daniel of Aldingham, Robert of Preston in Amounderness, and Robert of
Garstang, occur in contemporary charters as clergy of these respective
churches. (See p. 338 ante.)
Benet, the grantor, was the eldest son of Gamel dc Pennington, the original
donor to Conishead. The fact that he confirms his father's grant, with the
consent of AJan his son and heir, points to the fact that Muucaster came to his
father by marriage with an heiress of that place. William de Lancaster I.
gave the town of Muncaster to Furness, as appears in Series IV, Charter
No. III., but the monks of that place lost possession of the town during the
troubles which characterized the reign of Stephen. To whom it afterwards
passed, and how it came to Gamel de Pennington, does not appear. The
date may be any time between 1180 and 1199, probably about 1190, as the
Hospital had not yet attained to the degree of a Priory.

NOTES.
The position of the house of Conishead upon land over which its ]K>weiful
neighbours, the monks of Furness, possessed the lordship, was one which was
not likely to continue long without interference by the dominant home. In
the hist years of the 12th century, this danger appeared in the form of a
dispute touching the churches of Ulverston and Pennington, which the
monks of Furness claimed as belonging to their church of Urswick, as also
touching the site of the Priory uj>on land which was jwirt of the fee of the
great Cistercian Abbey. At last, however, by the mediation of certain discreet
persons of note, and by the advice of the abbot of Savigny, the head of that
abbey, and other abbots of the Cistercian order, the monks of Furness having
respect to the poverty of the canons of Conishead, and willing to suffer the
settlement of the order of canons regular of St. Augustine which had taken
root in that place, relinquished their claim to the said churches and
granted that the said canons should convert them to their own use. On
the other side T., the Prior and the canons of Conishead relinquished their
claim to the chapel of Houkesete (Hawkshead) and the fishery of Depestal, and
agreed that the number of their canons should never exceed thirteen, except
by permission, that no woman of any degree wliatsoever should be admitted to
dwell with them, and that they should not receive any gift of land within the
. said monks' fee of Furness without their consent, except only of the land of
Ulverston which Gilbert fitz Koger (titz Reinfred) and his tenants held, and of
that not more than the third part, the due service of which should be surely
rendered without fail to the house of Furness. Further that they would dwell
together in brotherly love, giving each other counsel and aid in any matters

which might arise. Finally for the sake of peace the canons under*
took to pay yearly to the monks of Farness r>0i., by equal instalments at
Pentecost and St. Martin. This coni]>osition was witnessed by the following
persons of note — The lord abbots II. of Savigny, William of Jervaux,
Ben net of Stratford Langthorne, co. Essex ; David, of (.-alder ; William of
Holland Bridge in Lincolnshire; Master llonori us, Archdeacon of Richmond;
(iilbert, son of linger fitz Reinfred; Master John, Official of Richmond ;
Roger, parson of Kirkby Irleth ; William the chaplain, vicar of Dalton in
Furness ; Richard de Kent, clerk ; R. de Stiveton ; Akarias de Austwick,
and many others both clergy and laymen.

that office for a few months in I1!)K, we seem to have reason to date thin
agreement in that year. We know from L<\ Xevc* Fasti that the Dean of
York protested against the appointment of llonori us, and King Richard
granted the office to Roger de St. Edmund. In the Fine Roll of the first year
of John about the 29th May, 1 1 051, we find the said Roger proffering to the
King £100 for power to exercise his office of Archdeacon against Honorius
(op. c/V., j). 2), but two years later Honorius came and made a larger offer,
viz., 300 marks for the King's letters of protection, and for jx>wer to use hi*
right over the Archdeaconry of Richmond (Ibid., p. !(>!)). In 120.") and 1208
he occurs in the Rolls as Archdeacon of Richmond. However, we appear to
have in the document No. (VLXVII. of the Coueher of Furness (p. 437), a
slightly different form of the above composition, mentioning the names of the
same Abbots. Archdeacon Honorius, and Gilbert fitz Reinfred, and contain-
ing the specific date 120H, so that one is driven to the conclusion that the
agreement was made in that year. At that time the house of (Amushead
could not long have attained to the degree of a Priory.

NOTES.
As a natural accompaniment to the composition last recorded, Master
Honorius, Archdeacon of Richmond, confirms to the canons of Conishead
the church of Ulverston, which the monks of Furness liad claimed as
belonging to the church of Urswick, but had afterwards relinquished. This
he did at the instance of Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who held the patronage of the
said church, in right of Agnes his wife, only daughter and heir of William
de Lancaster II., of whose estates the said Gill>ert had received seisin upon his
marriage circa 1189. It is interesting to note that we have again reference
to the contention of the monks of Furness, that Urswick was or had been the
mother church of Ulverston and Pennington. Jt would appear that at some
early period before the Conquest, Urswick had been the caput of almost the
whole of the eastern half of Furness. The witnesses were the lord abbot of
Furness ; William, prior of Cartniel, who occurs in a final concord made in
1208, touching a dispute about fishing in the estuary of the Kent with
Ralph de Reetham ; A., prior of Cockerham ; Gilbert fitz Reinfred ; Master
John, the official of Richmond ; Rfoger ? ] de Kirk by, Dean of Lancaster ;
William, vicar of Dalton ; Henry de Redman of Levens, Seneschal of Kendal ;
R. de Stiveton, and Richard de Kent, clerk.

Christ, and cease not to minister unto him. Wherefore because it is comely
to fervently support those who plentifully abound with the bowels of
affection for Christ's poor, considering with pious love the conversation and
devotion of our beloved brethren in Christ the canons of Conegesheved, and
looking upon the footprints of Roger, Archbishop of York, of blessed
memory, who confirmed to them for their own use the churches of
Molecastre, and Whitebec, and Penington with the appurtenances, we have
thought fit to grant and transfer to the said brethren those churches, for their
own use for ever, for the maintenance of the hospitality of their house,
Having in all wavs to us and to our successors the due and accustomed
charges. Wherefore that this our grant may continue unchanged in time to
come, we have thought well to confirm it by this present writing. With
those witnesses, Master J. our official, Richard de Marreys, Roger (parson)
of Kirkebi (Irluth), Adam de Kirkhain, then dean, William de Bidigdcn

The reference to an earlier confirmation by Roger, Archbishop of York
(1154-1181), of Gamel de Pennington's grant of the churches of Pennington,
Muncaster, and Whitbeck to the Hospital of Conishead, is interesting as
a proof that the foundation dates from before 1181, adding strength to the
opinion that Gamel was the founder, and William de Lancaster II. a patron,
and subsequently a benefactor of this house. It is interesting to note that a
direct descendant of Gamel de Pennington, in the person of Baron Mun-
caster of Muncaster Castle, occupies an honourable position as a public-
spirited landowner, in the very district where his ancestor founded this
Hospital of Augustinian canons to the glory of God, and in honour of
his blessed mother the Virgin Mary, more than 700 years ago.

Tin* story of this charter of Kin# Stephen to Ranulf, Earl of Chester is
closely connected with the history of the early ycai-s of Stephen's reign. It
is, however, unnecessary to repeat that history here. It will suffice to state
briefly, that Stephen by this series of grunts desired to obtain the adherence
and active support of his powerful subject, the Karl of Cheater, firstly, in
coinl»attin^ the Empress Matilda in her attempts to wrest from him that
crown which he held by a title so defective, on Whalf of her Hon Henry,
then Duke of Normandy and afterwards Kin# Henry J I. ; nrrondfy, because
the grant of Carlisle and Cunilierlaml to Henry, son of David, King of
Scotland, when Stephen made him Earl of Northumberland at Durham
in the year 11 31), had deeply incensed Earl Itanulf, who considered that
Carlisle and Cumberland were his rightful patrimony, Henry I. having
grunted these lordships to his father Itanulf Meschiues. The date of the
charter is December, 1140, when Stephen was in Lincolnshire, opposing the
forces of the Empress Matilda.
15y this charter the King granted to Ranulf, the Castle and City of
THE LANCASHIRE CHAKTULARY. 369
Lincoln, to hold until the King should have caused the Earl's possessions in
Normandy to be restored to him. This done, the Earl was still to fortify
and to hold one of the towers of Lincoln Castle, of which he should have the
ownership, until the King restored to him the Castle of Tickhill, the caput
of the Honor of Blyth, which done, the King should recover possession of
the said tower, as also of Lincoln City, and the Earl should have the tower
which his mother had fortified, together with the office of Constable of
Lincoln Castle and of Lincolnshire, which were his by right of inheritance.
The King further gave to him, Bel voir Castle and Honor, and the land
of William de Albini of whomsoever held, and Grectham with the Soke,
and if the heirs of Grectham made concord with the King, the Earl
should possess that Honor as his inheritance, and the King would give the
heirs some other estate by way of exchange. He also gave to the Earl,
Newcastle- under- Lyme, Ruxley with the Soke, Torksey, the town of Derby,
Mansfield, Stanley, Oswaldbec Wapentake, the land of Roger de Busli with
the Honor of Blyth, as it had l>een divided, the land of Roger the Poictevin
from Northampton to Scotland, except Roger de Montbegon's land in
Lincolnshire. He also gave him the Honor of Lancaster with its appur-
tenances, and the land between Ribble and Mersey, the land which he had
in demesne in the Manor of Grimsby, as well as that which the Earl of
Gloucester had there in demesne. Furthermore, for the love which he bore
the Earl, he gave to Adelaide de Conde her land in Horncastle, as it was
when the castle there was thrown down. And finally the King rendered to
him all his other land.
To a certain extent this charter was merelv confirmatory of lands which
already belonged to the Earl, although many new estates were intended to
be conveyed by it, particularly Lancashire between Ribble and Mersey, and
the Honor of Lancaster, which were King Stephen's by the very best
of titles, and had been held by him since the year 1114 or thereabouts.
Stephen quitted Lincolnshire without fulfilling the whole of his promise,
thereby affording the Earl a pretext for his subsequent treacherous
behaviour, which culminated in the defeat and capture of Stephen, and
the short lived predominance of the Empress Matilda. Of this neglect on
Stephen's part, the late Robert Eyton says in the Staffordshire Chart ulary,
"when in December, 1140, the Earl [of Chester] and his brother rebelled
against Stephen, their first proceeding was to eject a garrison which
Stephen had left in Lincoln Castle. The stirring sequel, the immediate
siege of Lincoln Castle by Stephen, Earl Ranulfs escape by night, the
indomitable energy and profound strategy which enabled him forthwith to
levy and to bring a mighty host to the relief of Lincoln, the l»attle of
February 2nd, 1141, and the capture of Stephen, were the events of a
month."'
By virtue of this grant, Earl Ranulf subsequently executed various
charters to religious houses, confirming former grants of land, churches, etc.,
between Ribble and Mersey. He continued in possession until his death in
December, 1153. Henry II., upon his accession, restored the Honor to
Stephen's younger son, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl

NOTES.
The struggle l>etween King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy, was
continued in the year 1153. Within the octave of the Epiphany (13th to
19th January), 1153, the Duke crossed into England, and by virtue of some

minor successes received inq>ortant .additions to his forces liy the adhesion
to his side of tin- Karl of Leicester, and sunn sifter, of the Earls of Chester,
(Jlouccster, Hereford and Cornwall. Ijiit the duplicity of the l>aroiinge, a»
is shown by Henry of Huntingdon, prevented any decisive action between
the two parties for the harons desired, ulmve all things, to play off one side
against the ether, and profit by the chance from either side of bids for their
support.1
The most powerful and influential of the barons was Kanulf de (iernons,
Earl of Chester. The charter ^iveii alnive discloses the priee which Duke
Henry was prepared to pay for the Karl's assistance in the recovery of bis
ri«dit. Of the details of this Treat v we are onlv concerned with the entry
which relates to Lancashire and the Honor, which runs as follows : —
" Furthermore I [the Duke] have <jivcn and granted to him [#>. the Karl] the
whole Honor « »f Count IJo^er the Poictevin, wherever he has ou^ht thereof.**
In annotating this paragraph, the late Mr. Kytou has fallen into several
errors. In the "Staffordshire Cliai'tulai'v/' lli*t»riml (VAw/o/jx, Vol. IF,
p. 'I'l'.y he writes : -
'•This expression is significant. Taken as a whole, the Honour of
Comte Ilojjer the Poitcvin has at various leeurrent periods l>ceu called
the Honour of Lancaster. Lincaster Castle was its original caput. All
I^uic^hiiv, between the Kibble and the Mersey, was included in the
Honour. Tin* Poitevin Comte is known t> have had lands in man v other
counties, and in most of these his sometime manors are |H»r|ietuallay
recurring as * held of the Honour of Lancaster.' At another and later
period, when vast estates— never held by the Poitevin accrued to the
Karld"iut afterwards the Huchy, of Ijaiicastcr, the term 'Honour of
J «*i nearer ' became, of course, more comprehensive.'
An a matter of fa -t, not only that part of Lancashire which lies "lietween
Kibble and Mcrsev " was included in the Honour from and after 10H(>, but
also Ainounderness, Lonsdale, if not Cartmel and Kurness also. The term
" Honor of Lancaster ,: ceased to be used after the creation of the Duchy in
l'ttl. Mr. Evton writes further :--
"Comte IJo^er surrendered his English lief to William the Conqueror
before the date «»f Hoinesday, but the Conqueror did not disintegrate it.
William Uufus, I imagine, restored it to Comte Ito^er ; but Henry T ,
execrating above all things the names and races of Mont«»onierv and
IVle^ine, confiscated it. As an Escheat in his hands, Henry I. did some-
thing to disintegrate the Honour of Ijaiicastcr, but I do not find that
anything so subtracted went to a^i*randize the Honour of Chester.
Henrv had not reached the middle of his reijjn when he bestowed the
Comtee of Morctain and the hardlv diminished Honour of I jan caster on
his nephew, Stephen, of l>l«»is ; and both the>e dignities remained with
the said Stephen by a «jood and sound title till the end of his own
rei^n.
It is not correct to say that the Conqueror did not disintegrate the Honor of
Count lioirer. With the exception of Rowland, he took from him the whole
1 Stubb*' Cutififif. Hht. of England, Vol. I. p. 370.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULAKY. 373
of his Yorkshire estates, and William Rufus did not restore them, but they
became merged in the Mowbray and Percy fees. Even Bowland was not
held of the Honor of Lancaster, but of the fief of Puntefract. Moreover,
when Henry I. bestowed upon his nephew Stephen, the Count's former
Honor, instead of doing "something to disintegrate" it, he actually added
large estates to it from the royal demesne in cos. Lincoln, Leicester, and
Nottingham, and portions of the escheated fiefs of Erneis de Burun, Durand
Malet, Robert de Stafford, Roger de Busli, and some others in cos. Lincoln,
Nottingham, Derby, and Stafford. It was from this time forward that
Count Stephen's fief in Lancashire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and the counties
named above became known as the " Honor of Lancaster." Lastly
Mr. Eyton says : —
"When, therefore, Duke Henry, in the year 1153, spake of giving to
Earl Ranulf, of Chester, all that the said Earl 'has' anywhere in the
whole Honour of Comte Roger the Poitevin, the Duke probably alluded
to something, more or less, which the turbulent Earl had wrested from
Stephen during the period of usurpation. I do not know that anything
even of this kind remained with the Earl of Chester's heirs ; but in
truth the promises of Devizes, none of them resulted in estates of
inheritance."
The real reason why Duke Henry qualified his grant to the Earl of the
whole Honor of Count Roger, by adding " wherever he has ought thereof,''
was that the Earl onlv received in Lancashire the land between the Ribble
■r
and the Mersey, for King David of Scotland had claimed and held the rest
of the county, and in King Stephen's grant to the Earl in 1141 (Charter
No. 1 ) the fief of Roger de Montbegon had been expressly reserved.
Mr. Eyton gives the date January 6th, 1153, to the Duke's landing in
England, as against the date of the Octave of the Epiphany, recorded by
Roger de Monte, or the morning of the Epiphany, by Gcrvaseof Canterbury.1
He further suggests the date, 1st March, as the date of the Treaty. Probably
it was ratified after the Duke's success .against King Stephen at Malmes-
bury, which was likely to bring to him offers of supjmrt, and before he had
advanced to Wallingford, and obtained his subsequent success against the
King at Crowmarsh in Oxfordshire.
On November 6th, the same year, a treaty waa made between the Duke
and the King at Wallingford. Events had taken place which had rapidly
brought the King's resistance to an end. On the Octave of St. Lawrence's
day (17th August) death came to the King's eldest son, Eustace, as a punish-
ment, it is said, for sacrilege committed at St. Edmund's Abbey, near
Canterbury.2
Many of the most influential among the barons had gone over to the
cause of the young Duke. " It was agreed " by the Treaty " that Stephen
and Henry should adopt each other as father and son ; that Stephen should
keep his regal dignity for the rest of his life, Henry acting as justiciar and
practical ruler of the kingdom under him ; and that after his death Henry
should be King.''8

Of the eight earucates of laud hereby bestowed on Richard Fitton, four
earucates and a half lay iu a district called Gunnolf's moors, which had l>eeii
previously bestowed upon Alan, son of Swain in marriage with a younger
sister of Riehard Bussel. According to the Hoghton evidences William
Alanson had eleven sons, who all died without issue, and three daughters,
who married respectively, Richard de Ollerton, Roger de Stanworth, and
Roger de Wythnell. The first named had for her share Ollerton and
Heapey, the second had Stanworth, Brinscall, Monkshill, Walcroft, and
Bridgetield, and the third had Wythnell.
The bounds of Gunolfs moors were as follows : — Commencing at Hole-

GrethulP, over the summit as the water falls into Rodylsworth4, descending
the river Rodylsworth unto the Stanworth hedge, following that hedge

NOTES.
A11njrt Bussel succeeded to the Baron v of Penwortham after the death of
his brother Richard without issue, in or before the year 11(54. This is
proved by the fact that he appears in the Pipe Roll of 16 Henry II., as owing
18j marks due to the king "from the time of Geoffrey de Valoines," who
was Sheriff of the Honor for some years before Michaelmas, 1166. As there
is no reference to this debt in the Rolls for 1164-5, and H6.~M>, the liability-
was obviously incurred before Michaelmas, 1164. The Bussel fees were
held by the service of 5 knights, for which the relief would amount to 25/i
or 37£ marks. The debt named above is suspiciously like the second moiety
of this sum, of which the first had been previously paid.
The grant to Houkell and his heirs of land in Swarthbank, in the town-
ship of North Meols, was made in frankalmoign, i.e. free from all secular
service or exaction, for the health of the grantor's soul, and the soul of his
wife Leticia, and their parents' and ancestors' souls, and for the maintenance
of a Hospice for those having need of entertainment.
Among the witnesses appear the names of several well known Lancashire
knights and thanes, and also Gerold de Clayton, steward of Penwortliam,
Henry and Hugh, the grantor's two sons, two priests of Penwortliam church,
Hugh the clerk, and his brother Adam. The date lies before Michaelmas,

Reinfrid, baron of Kendal ; Robert le Waleys, the Constable's steward ;

384 THE LAXCA&IIIKE CIIAUTCLAttY.
The learned editor of that volume states his opinion that Robert de Lacy
was restored in 1107, again and tinally dispossessed in 1 121, his estates being
.given the year following to Hugh de la Val, and that he died in 1130. In
the first place we Hud in the Liiuhrt/ Survey- -the accepted date of which is
111-1-11 10— that Hugh de la Val was then in possession of Robert de Lacy'a
estates in that part of Lincolnshire. As he is known to have been in
possession of de I.acy's estates of Pontefract, Olitheroe and Bowland at a
subsequent date, can it he doubted that he held the latter in 1114-1110, and
had held them with de Laejj's Lindscy estates by one general grant from the
Crown of an earlier date than that of this survey? Further, the early
grants made to the Priory of Nostell prove, that while Robert de Lacy gave
the half carucate of land upon which the church was set and adjacent to it,
and two oxgangs of land in Hardwick, he gave no other lands to this
foundation whatever. But King Henry I. gave the wood around the church,
called St. Oswald's wood, uas freely and wholly as ever Ilbert de Lacy or
Robert, his son had that wood," proving that while the fee of Pontefract
was in the King's hands in or after 1100, he granted this wood, and the
churches of St. Oswald and of Aldan of Bamborough, as fully as ever Algar
the priest held them. Then when Hugh de la Val had received the fee of
Pontefract, probably soon after 1100, la Val gave the churches of Rothwell,
Ack worth, Fetherston, South Kirkby, Huddersfield, and Bat ley, and the
manor of Hessle, all which King Henry continued by charter which probably
passed on January loth, 1 121. Here is im mention <»f any important grants
bv Robert de IjJicy before 1121! Is it credible that he remained in
l*>ssession of Pontefract after 1 100 ! And here may be given an example of
the necessity of a careful examination of historical records before accepting
the deductions of authorities even as great as Dodsworth, Dugdale,1 Burton,*
or Dr. Whi taker.3 The tirst charter of the Priory of Nostell printed in the
Mtwattirtm (edit. 1817 1830), hears the heading C'trttt fiadntionU />:V
Rnhcrtum *fr Luri. Well, the most casual glance will show that it is a
charter of "confirmation *J made bv Robert de Licv, the last of the old line
of the Licys, between I 1ST ami 1103. Of the witnesses and other knights
named, three are named in Heurv de Lacv's Certtfifittio tie feoth'* htilitHW,
made in 1100, viz., Willelmus de Fristnn, Robertus Pictavensis, and Osbertus
aivhidiaconus.1 Others occur in the Chartnlary of St. John of Pontefract
in charters of rinn I loo. Knough has been said upon this subject here, but
much tnmv will have to lie said, and these statements often repeated l>efore
the true facts of Robert de Liey's final forfeiture in 1106 are generally
accepted.

NOTES.
By this charter, Robert de Lacy gran to to Ralph le Rous, progenitor of
the families of Mitton and Bayley, for his homage and service, Great
Mearley, Twistleton, two oxgangs of land in Clitheroe with the appurte nances,
particularly mentioning those messuages which had formerly belonged to
Orm, the Englishman, lying both within and below the wooden palisade,
which formed the outer protection of the Castle of Clitheroe, Great Mitton
(in Yorkshire), Aighton and Bayley, which latter were included in the grant
from Henry I. contained in the preceding charter (No. 1), to hold by the
service of half a knight's fee ; together with the bailiwick and wardship of
certain lands within boundaries named.1 The charter concludes with the
addition — unusual in twelfth century charters — of a date, viz., the Feast of
St. Clement in the third year after the coronation of King Henry (23rd
November, 1102). The reference at this early date to the military service
to be performed for the land, was doubtless the result of Henry I.'s Charter
of Liberties 0/. Round's Feudal England, p. 225 et seq.).
It is to be regretted that the originals of this and the following charter
1 Several of these can be identified. Watersdeles probably refers to ths
Watershed, " where Heavens water deals " on the summit of Pendle. Routhesic
ultra Grangret was probably on the western boundary of the manor of Mearley.

are not available for examination, for they have been carelessly and cor-
ruptly transcribed. That they are perfectly genuine charters is beyond
dispute. Confirmation of this is to be found in an inquisition1 taken at
Lancaster 18th August, 1320', to inquire into the title by which Adam
Nowell claimed to take old wood and 1>ark in Sabden and Pendleton Wood
for burning and building, and to have common chase of all manner of wild
beasts within the Mauor of Great Mear ley, viz., within Sabden brook and
Itimmington brook. By which inquest it was found that Stephen de
Mcarley, great-grandfather of Adam, whose heir he is, was seised of the
Manor of Great Mearley, and the said rights of taking old wood and having
chase, etc., in his demesne as of fee by the grant and feoffment of Jordan, son
of Ralph le Rous (Esctwta, 20 Edward II., No. 43).
This grant therefore comprised seven earucates, two oxgangs of laud, the
infeudation being at the rate of fourteen carucates to one knight's fee.

NOTES.
We are told by Richard, Prior of Hexham, anno 1135, that Ilbert de
Lacy that year recovered the Honor of Pontefraet, which Henry I. had taken
from his father Robert.1 Soon afterwards he con6rmed his father's grant
to Ralph le Rous by the alxjve charter, supplementing the confirmation by a
new charter of feoffment (Charter No. IV). The grantor speaks of Ralph le
Rous, or the Red, as "f rater mens." Perhaps he was his half-brother, or,
as is more likely, seeing that he first received this land from Robert de Lacy
in the year 1 102, a bastard son of the last named.
The witnesses are Yorkshire tenants of Ilbert de Lacy. Robert de
Champels attested a charter of Henry de Lacy preserved in the Chartulary
of St. John of Pontefraet, No. XVIII., as also did William de Reinevill of
Langthwaite. Hugh de Stapleton of Stapleton, and William his son, who
died in 1155, will be found in the pedigree on p. xlviof the same Chartulary.
The date lies between 1135, and 2nd February, 1141, the date of the battle
of Lincoln, where Ilbert de Lacy disappeared.

Several of the witnesses were the grantor's knights or official*, viz.,
Rjbertthe Peytevin or Poiotevin ; William fitz Aldelin of Thorp Audlin,
at one time Governor of Ireland ; William de Reinevill, and Ernis his
son ; Lambert, the physician of Clitheroe, who attested Henry de Laey's

NOTES.
Roger de Mowbray, son and heir of Nigel de Albini, was under age in
1130, when Robert de Widvilla and Henry de Montefort rendered account of
the ferm of his land, and inter alia discharged themselves of certain expenses
in holding the Castle of Burton in Lonsdale (Pipe Roll, 31 Hen. I., p. 137).
To William, son of Gilbert, who was probably his seneschal of Kendal,
he gave tliat part of Westmorland (afterwards known as the Barony of
Kendal) which, having been given to Nigel de Albini by Henry I., had
390 THE LANCASHIRE CIIARTUI.AKY.
descended to the said Roger as son and heir of Nigel, it had been held
in the eleventh century by Ivo Taillebois. William de Lancaster further
received a grant of the whole Wapentake of Ewecross, in the West Riding
of Yorkshire, which lay partly in Lonsdale and extended over Ingle-
borough Hill into Ribblesdale. This district was held by the Mowbrays in
the thirteenth century by the service of two knights' fees, and consisted of
the townships of Sedbergh, Garsdale, Deut, Thornton in Lonsdale, Burton
in Lonsdale, Bentham, Clapham with Newby, Austwick, Lawk land, and
Horton in Ribblesdale {h'irlbt/s Inquest, Suitees Soc, Vol. 41), p. 27h).
This portion of the grant did not permanently remain in the hands of
William de Lancaster's successor*, but was afterwards resigned to the chief
lord, only the Manor of Thornton in Lonsdale being retained. As late,
however, as the year 1220, the lords of Kendal are found confirming grants
of land in Ewecross Wapentake. (Cf. Furness Cuuc/ter, passim.)
This William, son of Gilbert, appears to have been in high favour with
William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, Earl of Warren, and Ijord of
Lancaster from 1153 to 1160, under whom he probably held the office of
seneschal of Lancaster Castle, and who enfeoffed him of 3(U carucates of
land, to hold by the service of one knight, in Ulverston, Warton, and
Garstang, co. Lancaster. The Earl, or Henry II., also married him to a
daughter of Gundreda, sister of William, 3rd Earl of Warren, and of Roger,
Earl of Warwick, who died 12th June, 1153. It was at this time that the
raid William, by licence of his chief lord and the King, assumed the surname
of La n caster.
By this grant the Barony, or reputed Barony of Kendal appears to have
originated. It is probable that the following entry in the return of knights'
fees made in 1166 by Roger de Mowbray, refers to that part of the estate*
hereby granted which lay in Ewecross Wapentake. " Willelmus de Lancasti ia
ij indites'' (lied Book of the Fj.rhr<pia\ Rolls Series, p. 420). During the
distui bances which arose in the kingdom during the year 1173, Roger de
Mowbray took the part of the King's rebellious son, with the result that
Kendal appears to have been resumed by the Crown, in the same way that
the Honor of Appleby, otherwise called Westmarie or Westmarii g-land,
was rerumed after the forfeiture of Hugh de Morvill, occasioned by his
participation in the murder of Thomas a Becket. The Baronies of Appleby
and Kendal, comprising the whole county, were then given to . . . de
Valoines, and upon his death they passed to Theobald de Valoines, who owed
£'30 at Michaelmas, 1178, for his relief of six knights' fees, the service by
which these baronies were held {Pipe ItoM, 24 Hen. II., Rot. ft, m. 1 ttorso).
Upon the accession of Richard I., the royal displeasure towards Ranulf
Glanvill, the former justiciar, extended to his relative Theobald, who was
dispossessed, and Westmorland again became a Crown estate.
William de Lancaster I., the sou of Gilbert, appears to have died before
Michaelmas, 1170, for sometime during that year Richard de Morvill,
younger son of Simon de Morvill, lord of Burg on-sands, and Ishall, co.
Cumberland, proffered 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he
claimed in marriage with A vice his wife, daughter of the said William.
Probably this writ was to be employed against William fitz Gilbert's sou
and heir.

The fhite of this charter cannot Ik? earlier than the year 1138, when
Roger de Mnwl>r;iv, the grantor, was still in his minority, nor later than
1162, when Henry II. confirmed the agreement made between William de
Lancaster and the monks of Fiimesa, touching the boundary between
Kendal and Furness (p. 310). The most probable date is between 1150 and
1155.

NOTES.
Tlie dedication clause of this charter is particularly interesting oil
account of the reference it contains to the parentage of William de
Lancaster I , and to his wife, who is said by Dugdale to have been the
widow of Roger, Earl of Warwick, and a sister of William, the 3rd Earl of
Warren (p. 390). The following is a translation of the charter : —
"To all the faithful of God's holy church, William de Lancastre sends
greeting. Known be it to the whole number of you that I, by the advice
and consent of William, my son and heir, and of Gundreda my wife, and for
the health of my lord Henry, King of England, and Queen Eleanor, and
their children, and for the health of our souls, and the souls of Gilbert my
father, and Godith my mother, and Jordan my son, and Margaret daughter
of the Countess, and for the souls of my parents and all ancestors, have
given and granted, and by this present charter confirmed in pure and
perpetual alms to God and the church of St. Mary de Pre of Leicester, and
to the regular canons serving God there, and to their men of Cokerheim, full
304 THE LANCASHIRE CHAKTULAKY.
and fire common right throughout my fee in Lonisdalc and Aummidemesse,
in wood and plain, in waters and pastures, in feeding-grounds and in all
other needful places, and that they and their men shall be quit of pannage
in the aforesaid places. Wherefore 1 will and firmly appoint that the aforesaid
canons and their men of Cokerheim shall have all their easements and their
cattle in the aforesaid places free and quit of all service and exaction
towards me and my heiis, as they have in their own demesne underwood,
which extends unto the bounds l*tweeii Cokerheim and Thurnuiu, to wit,
unto the water which is called Flaekcs-flcth which runs down into
Crokispul, and so into Loin (Lune) ; and I prohibit any of my heirs or
servants from causing any injury, loss or hindrance to the said canons or
their men, but that they shall have and hold the said common right freely
and quietly for evermore, as this my charter hears witness, with all the
lil>erties and free customs which 1 mvself had in the said manor of
Cokerheim, whilst I held it in my own demesne. With these witnesses,
William my son and heir, Oundreda daughter of the Countess, Robert
the Chaplain, William the Chaplain of Walton, Ralph son of Nicholas,
Robert le Ueriz, Robert de Mundcgune, William son of Daniel [le Fleming
of Thurnham], Robert Mustel, Robert the Chamberlain, William de Kair,
Thomas son of William, Matthew son of William Malesturmi, Alliert dt
Cardula, Matthew de Lcuns, and many others/'
This charter evidently followed soon after the previous grants to the
canons, and subsequent to Henry II.'s confirmation of 115b', in which no
mention is made of this grant.
The statement as to William de Lancaster's marriage is quoted by
Dugdale from the Coucher of Furness,1 but genealogical statements
emanating from monkish sources are to be carefully examined previous to
acceptance. Gundrcda, the widow of Roger, Karl of Warwick, occurs in the
Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II., s.t. Warewiescira, when she had remission granted
of the seutage upon twenty knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. -
Rut there is no reason whatever for supj>osing that she re-married after her
husliand's death, for she must have been well advanced in years at that time.
Among the witnesses to the above charter, and following next after
William, the grantor's *.ou and before two eleries, comes the name of
Oundreda ilmitjhter of the Countm*. In the dedication clause amongst the
names of those for the benefit of whose souls the grant was made the name
occurs of Margaret, tlaer/hler of thv Counter. Is it not much more probable
that the first named was the wife (if William de Lancaster, and the second
her deceased sister, and that they were daughters of Oundreda, widow of
Roger de Newburgh, Karl of Warwick i
Of the witnesses, those who can be identified arc Yorkshire knights, with
the exception of William the Chaplain of Warton, in Lonsdale, and William
le Fleming. Ralph sou of Nicholas held one knight's fee of Henry de Lacy.
Matthew de Leun or Leuin held half a knight's fee of William de Vescy
Other names such as Mundegun or Moutbegon, and le Heriz were borne by
persons holding lands under the Laeies. It would seem that the charter wa
executed at the time of some public gathering in Yorkshire.

NOTES.
William de Lancaster, second baron of Kendal, and steward of King
Henry II., died in the year 1184 {Chronicle of 11. de Jfonte)% having recently
given to If ugh the Hermit, at the request of his wife, of whose dower it was,
the place of Askel's Cross and Croc, in Cockerham, for the maintenance of a
hospital, from which rapidly arose the Abbey of Cockei-sand (Cockersand
Chart idan/y p. x.). His wife was Helewise, daughter and heir of Robert de
Stutevill of Lazenby, co. Cumb. She married 2ndly, Hugh de Morvill, who
in the 1 John, obtained the King's licence to marry his eldest daughter to
Richard de Lucy of Egremont. Tin's approximately confirms the date
assigned to William de Lancaster's death.
Hugh and Helewise confirmed the grant of Cockerham to St. Mary de
Pre, as also did John, when Count of Mortain. The canons had recovered
the manor in the said Count's Court at Lancaster, before his justices, by the
oath of 12 liege men, sometime between 1189-1194, against Hugh and Hele-
wise, because William de Lancaster II., when he succeeded to his father's
estates, having disseised the canons thereof without judgment, had after-
wards bestowed it upon Hugh, as part of his wife's marriage portion.'

Gilbert, sou of linger fitz Reiiifml, peems to have been first associated
with the King's Court in 1180. He was occasionally a Justiciar, and in
1189 lie is called " Papifer." After the accession of Richard I., he was one
of the commissioners for the pacification of the country, and his father was
associated with the chief justiciars and othei*s in the government of the
country (Roger of Hoicdm). liy this charter addressed to the King's son,
Richard, Duke of Aquitaine ami Count of Poictou, Henry II. granted
Helewise, the daughter and heiress of William de Lancaster II., together
with her inheritance, to Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who accordingly l>ecame
3rd baron of Kendal.
It is witnessed by Geoffrey the King's son " our Chancellor," William
Marshall and Richard de Humez, son of William, Constable of Normandy,
and may perhaps have passed in the spring of 1185, before the King's
departure into Normandy. At any rate the date must lie lwtween 1184
and 1189. Probably Helewise was very young, and not marriageable until
after 1189, seeing that Richard I. confirmed this grant after his accession, at
Rouen, on the 20th July, 1189 (Benedict, II., f. 73).

Gilbert titz Reinfred could not long have married the heiress to the
Barony of Kendal when King Richard granted this charter of acquittance of
tin* service in cattle due to the Crown from the Barony of Kendal, and
other lands in Westmorland proper. Tin's service called Noutgeld, or Neat-
gold, from which the fii~nvt Comitaltt*, in " Westmarieland " was largely
drawn, had long been commuted to a money j>ayment of I4li. 6s. 4</f In,

the Pipe Roll of 2 Richard, under " Westmerieland " we find the Sheriff, in
reference to this acquittance, discharging his fei'ni of 7//. 3*. 2d. of Neat-
geld and customs for the half year between Easter and Michaelmas, 1191,
the King having seized the Honor of Westmorland into his own hands,
owing to his displeasure with Ranulph de Glanvill, which displeasure had
extended to Ramilph's father-in-law, Theolwdd de Valoines, who had held
the Honor since the 26 Henry II.
The services due from the Karon of Kendal at this time were 14/?'. G*. Ad.
for Neatgeld and customs, hereby acquitted, 8//. 18*. 2d. for the ferm of
Kendal, and 5//. for the fishery of the Force on the river Kent, between
Kirkby Kendal and livens. The whole of these services, amounting to
28//. As. Go/., was acquitted from Easter 1191, until Easter 1195, when
14//. 6*. 3d. for Neatgeld was yearly carried forward as owing by Gilbert.
In the 9 Richard, he proffered a fine of 100//. to have six lihrates of land
and acquittance of eornage and to have his other liberties according to the
tenor of the King's charter. Of this tine he j»id GO//, then, and 40//. the
year following. In the 1 John the arrears of eornage, etc., amounted to
114//. 0«. 5rf., for which he obtained a discharge by proffering a tine of 100//.
in return for the Kings confirmation of his charters "and for having gallows
and diteh in the fee which he holds by the service of the fee of one knight
of the King in county Lancaster, and that the agreement made between
King Richard and himself for acquittance of eornage shall l>e kept, and fur
holding in peace the land in Kendal which he had by the gift of King
Richard, by the surety of John Briewerre in 30 marks, Ralph Gernun,
20m. ; Robert de Fa Mare, 20m. ; Richard de Vernun, 10m. ; Gilbert de
Norfolch, 20m. ; and Richard Malebisse, 40m.'' The charters here referred
to follow this.
Further, the above charter granted acquittance of suit to shire or county
court, wapentake or riding court, and from having to give aid to the sheriff
or his bailiffs. In return for this, Gilbert and his heirs must perform the
service of one knight, in addition to their other services. The original
charter, of which the above was an " innovation," passed at Evron in Maine,
on April 15th, in the first year of the King's reign (1190), and was attested
by William, Earl of Arundel, William Marshall, William de Humez, the
Constable, and Roger de Preux, the Steward. After the loss of the royal
seal, and Richard's imprisonment in Austria, the King issued the above
charter at Chalus, on March 5th, in the 10th yea«-, 1199, exactly one month
before his death from a wound .sustained in the siege of that town. The
witnesses were Herbert le Poer, bishop of Salisbury ; Vivian de Poole,
archdeacon of Derby ; Robert, J. and R, chaplains ; William Marshall ;
William de Poole ; Robert de Turnham, Seneschal of Anjou, and Robert de
Tresgotz, bailiff of the ( otentin.

NOTES.
This charter also passed at Evron, in Maine, on April l.">th, 1190, the
same date as the original of the last. Tt is interesting in proving that the
land of Kendal, and those estates in Westmorland proper, and in Furness,
which formed the barony of Kendal, had descended from Nigel de Albini to
his son Roger de Mowbray, then by the latters grant, as shown in Charter
No. I, to William, son of Gilbert de Lancaster, and so to the latter's son and
granddaughter, Gilbert litz Keinfred s wife,
400 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
The King, besides confirming the forost-land which Gilbert already held
in right of his wife, and that which the King had given to him, granted also
that whatever was waste — as opposed to arable, and therefore geldable land
— in the woods of Westmorland and Kendal, in the time of the first baron,
should be waste still, that is, should be treated as waste, so far as taxation or
levies were concerned, except purpresture, i.e. imrroachment made by
licence and with the consent of the lords of the fee of Kendal and Westmor-
land. Seeing that the greater part of the cultivated land in the barony,
even at that time, must have l>een improved from the forests, woods, or
wastes, it was undoubtedly desirable, while the Honor of Westmorland was
vested in the Crown, to have the King's licence and consent for snch exten-
sive improvements, or incroachment*, as they might afterwards be legally
considered. The licence took the form of treating these improvements
fiscally ami legally sis still waste ground. Proliably the charter was also
intended to give protection against the severity of the Forest laws.

NOTES.
The names of the witnesses to this copy of the " innovation " prove that
like the 6th charter of this series, it passed at ChfiliiH, probably on the 5th
March, 1199. The "original," however, was not attested by William, Earl
of Arundel and his fellows, as the originals of the two preceding charters
were, and therefore the date 15th April, 1190, cannot be ascribed to it.
The King's first seal was lost when the vice-chancellor was drowned
between Rhodes and Cyprus in 1191, but it was recovered with his dead
body. The second seal, used during the King's absence in Palestine, and
during his captivity, was purposely broken in 1194, in order that a new one
might be made, and that all charters sealed with the old seals might be
declared null and void,1 new charters only Wing granted in return for a
fine, which in this case was lOOli. As already noticed, Gilbert rendered
account of a fine of lOOti. for having six librates of land, etc., in the Pipe
Roll of the 9th year, 1198. Probably the fine named in this charter is that
for which he accounted in the 1st year of John. The date of the original
was before March 3rd, 1195, the date of the death of Hugh de Pudsey,
Bishop of Durham, who attests it. He, and William, Bishop of Ely,
had been appointed Chief Justiciars of England, when the King went
beyond seas.
It is not easy to understand the meaniug of this charter, by which the
King apparently grants to Gilbert one carucate of land in Levens, with the
fishery of that town, four carucates in Farleton and Beetham, and four in
Preston Richard and Holme, two in Burton in Kendal, one in Hincaster,
one in Preston Patrick and three in Lupton, together with a fishery belong-
ing to these lands,* to hold by the service of one knight. At a subsequent

date these lands were certainly parcel of the barony of Kendal, and appar-
ently some of them, as in the case of Levens, had been granted out by
Gilbert's immediate predecessors. It is somewhat significant that these
townshijw, with Middleton, Manzergh, Kirkby Lonsdale and Hutton Roof
had formed part of two pre-conquest estates entirely separate from the rest
of Kendal. It is therefore possible that they rendered service to the ferni
of Westmorland, and that this service may be identified as the six librates
referred to in the previous charter. The liberties and franchises granted
with these lands are so comprehensive as to strengthen the opinion that
they had not previously formed part of the grant of Kendal to the first de
Lancaster, recorded in the first charter of this aeries.

NOTES.
An interesting light is thrownjipon the ramifications of twelfth century
infeudations in ljancashire, and the widely scattered disposition of some
estates, by this series of charters. Much interesting genealogical infor-
mation is also obtainable from these instruments, to which several notable
ljancashire families were parties, such as Grelley, Hoghton, Kirkby, Marsey,
Ashton, and Heaton. The estates dealt with are primarily the Manors of
Ashton-under-Lyne, and Heaton- in -Lonsdale, but incidental reference will
also be made to the Manors of Dalton, Parbold and Wrightington, and
Reddish. Many antiquaries have been puzzled as to the personality of Orm,
son of Ail ward, and many statements have appeared in print dealing with
him, his descendants, and his estates, which turn out to be entirely erroneous.
Consequently it is intended to review, somewhat elaborately, the evidences
which we have collected bearing upon this man and his descendants. The
2 D 2

result seems to point a moral against the slovenly and uncritical con-
struction of pedigrees, and against placing too much reliance upon isolated
records.
In the Inqvisitio ComiUitus L<nwcuitri<*y taken in a.d. 1212, we find that
Ashton-under-Lyne and Ilea ton in Lonsdale were members of the Bussel's
Barony of Penwortliaiii. " The same Kobert de Gredle holds [in A.D. 1212]
ij carueatcs in Eaton of the same Itfirony [i.e., of Penwortham], and ought
to render therefor yearly one goshawk or 20 shillings, but he renders
not.V| Ashton was not included in the feoffment of the tief of Manchester,
which was held by one Nigel in 10SG. As noticed in No. I of Series II,
this vill was a niemliei' of the Salfordshire demesne in 1094, when tithes
of the jxirish of Ashton were given to St. Martin of Sees. At a subsequent
date the vill was incorporated in the newly-created Barony of Bussel of
Penwortham, but had proltably lx»en in the possession of the Grelley family
liefore the creation of that Barony by Henry I. In the Inquest of co.
Lancaster of 1212, quoted al>ove, we read— "Albert Gredle, mentor, gave to
Orm, son of Eiward (alibi Ail ward), with his daughter Emma in marriage,
one carucate of land in Eston by ten shillings yearly. The heirs of the same
"Orm hold that land," i>. in 1212, when this survey was made.2 Again we
read "Albeit Gredle, tvnvx, gave the fee of one knight to Orm, son of
Ailward, in marriage with his daughter Emma, to wit, in Dalton,
Par bold, and Wrietinton. The heirs of the said Orm hold the faid land [in
jv.d. 1212j.,r:i Particular attention is called to the use of the word senzx to
distinguish " Albert us Gredle " from two others of the same name living in
the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Further consideration will tend to the
belief that the iirst feoffment quoted of land in Eston (Ashton) to Orm, son of
Ailward, was also made by Albert Grelley arnex, and that both these feoff-
ments were made, not by Albert Grelley the third l>aron (son of Robert), but
by Albeit the. first to be enfeoffed of lands in Lancashire, and that we have
here adequate evidence of the creation of the Barony of Manchester, at
least as early as the first decade of Henry L's reign. Before confirming this
by other evidence, we may here quote the record of a plea in the Court of
King's Bench on the Octave of Holy Trinity, 4 Edward L, 1276, which
proves that the Kirkbys of Kirk by Irleth were the "heirs" of Orm, son of
Ailward.

THE LANCASHIRE GHARTUJ.AKY. 405
"John de Kirkeby sought against Thomas de Asseton the Manor of
Asseton, with the appurtenances except six oxgangs of land, and the
advowson of the church of the same manor, as his right, whereof a certain
William, his ancestor, was in seisin in his demesne as of fee in the time of
King Henry II., and from the said William the right descended to one
Roger as son and heir, and from Roger to Alexander as son and heir, and
from Alexander to one Walter as son and heir, and from Walter, because he
died without heir, the right descended to the said John, who now sues as
brother and heir. Thomas acknowledges the seisin of William, ancestor of
the said John, and says that the same William enfeoffed thereof a certain
Orni, his ancestor, and thereof he puts himself upon the grand assize of the
lord King, and prays that a recognition be made whether he has more
right in the said manor, except six oxgangs and the advowson of the church,
by the feoffment of the aforesaid William, or whether the said John has."1
Subsequently a day was given on the Quindene of St. Michael, 6 Edward I.,
for the coming of the Jury of Grand Assize, and on November 25th, 12
Edward I., 1284, the result of their view and verdict was settled by a final
agreement."2 Numerous other records exist to prove that the Kirkbys were
mesne lords of Ashton-under-Lyne, as they were of Reddish, and of Dalton,
Parbold, and Wrightington. Now Roger, son of William le Kirkby, was
living in the latter part of the reign of Henry II., and died about the year
1216. His eldest son, Alexander, was one of the hostages found by Gilbert
fitz Reinfred by his cliarter, or bond promising to give a life-long allegiance
to King John, and enrolled upon the Charter Roll in March or April,
1216.* About 1220 we find an entry in the Testa de Nevtil relating to
Reddish — "Alexander de Kyrkeby ought to hold in chief of the lord King
one carucate of land for 6*."4 William de Kirkby, father of the said Roger,
attested the agreement made in or about the year 1162, between William de
Lancaster and the monks of Furness (p. 311). He occurs as a witness in
many Furness charters between 1160 and 1185. His father, Roger de
Kirkby, or as he is called in this cliarter, Roger son of Orm, attests a
charter of Godard de Boivill between 1135 and 1154.* From these
particulars it is evident that William de Kirkby must have been bom about
1140 or soon after, and Roger his father about 1115 or earlier. The latter
being son of Orm fitz Ailward by his wife Emma, daughter of Albert
Orel ley, it is evident that their marriage, and the feoffments made upon the
occasion of its fulfilment, must have taken place before 1115. If, therefore,
we may rely upon the premises, we can come to no other conclusion than
that Emma Grelley was sister of Robert, and daughter of Albert senex,
the first baron of Manchester. The importance of this deduction is great,
for it settles at once the questions who the first baron was, and when the
barony was created. It will be difficult in the face of the evidences here

Kaiiu'M,1 and later by the late George Ormerod, the historian of Cheshire,* by
which it was sought to prove that the La thorns of Lathom were the "heirs"
of Orm titz Ail ward. The same may be said of the early descents of the
|>edi#ree of Assheton of Ashton-imder-Lyne.* In the latter case the mistake
has arisen by a confusion of names, through Orm de Ashton, lord of
Ash ton, living temp. Richard I. and John, having borne the same name
as the mesne lord, Orm fitz Ailward, living in the time of Henry L
Returning to the details of this charter, we note tliat Albert Grelley
refers to Roger, son of Orm having held Ashton and Heton "of my father,"
i.e., of Robert Grelley, the second l>aron. There seems to be no doubt that
the grantor of the charter is Albert Grelley the third baron,4 who died about
1162, the names of several of the witnesses confirming this belief. Roger

NOTES.
It will be well to state at once, before considering this charter, that the
grantee was not the Roger son of Orm of the preceding charter, but son of
Orm, son of Magnus, which Orm has been introduced by the late Mr.
Ormerod into the Lathom pedigree, quite unwarrantably, as the sequel will
show.
Of him more will be said in the Notes to Charter No. III. It appears
that Heaton in Lonsdale, or rather a moiety of the manor, had been given
by Warine Bussel to Ranulf, son of Roger de Marsey — with other lands in
Ley land Hundred— in marriage with his daughter. So says the Testa de
Nevilly adding further that in a.d. 1212, the heir of the same Ranulf was in
ward to Eustace de Moreton with the whole of his land.2 The other moiety,
as will be seen later, was given by Warine Bussel to Hamon le Boteler,
ancestor of the de Hoghtons of Hoghton."

of Thomas Brockholes of Claughton, esquire, 6th July, 1643. The seal, the
margin of which was then defaced, bore a bear passant, head to the right hand.
- Testa de Nevill, II, fol. 816.
3 It appears to be a hopeless task to attempt to fix the position of the Grelleys,
or of their tenants the Kirkbjs, in the complicated tenure of this township. As
there is no further mention of the Kirk by 8 in connection with this manor, it appears
probable that they resigned their mesne tenancy before the date of this charter.
Upon the death of Roger de Heton in 1262, it was found by inquest that lie had
held two carueates of land in Heton, viz., one which he held of Geoffrey de
Chetham by the yearly service of 10*., and the other which he held of Adam de
Hocton for which he rendered yearly \9\d. In the survey of 1322, the manor of

Hoger do Marsey, son of the Haiiulf named alwve, herein confirms to
Roger son of Orni [son of Magnus], the moiety of Hetun, viz., the aaaie
part which his father Orni [son of Magnus] held of the grantor^ ancestors,
a term which probably covers his father Hanulf, the first grantee from
Warine lhissel. The service was 10*. yearly at St. Martin, and 12c/.
Sakefee due to the King as lord of the Honor of Lancaster. This service is
the half jiart of that reserved in the previous charter.
In addition to the estates grunted to llanulf fitz lloger, of 5 team lands
in the fee of Pen wort ham, this family possessed the manor of Bolton le
Moors,1 with the church, which was given to Marsey or Mattersey Priory by
Roger de Marsey the founder, in the reign of Henry II., and Little Bolton,
Tong writh Haulgh, Bieightmet, HadcliHe, Unnston, and Westleigh, which
were held for the service of one knight's fee. In the rental of the
Wapentake of Salfnrri, temp. John, we find an entry " Of Saktie of the land
of Itaimlf son of Roger 10*.,"* being the yearly rent due from the above
lands in lieu of the chief lord's title before Domesday, to the profits of
executing justice in all pleas save placita coromv. This Ranulf was son and
heir of the founder, who died 32 Henry II., but being then only 7 years old,
he did not succeed to the estates of his father until 1 John, when he gave
50 marks to have his land, which had been in the King's hand since his
father's death.* He only survived until 8 John, when Eustace de Moreton
proffered 100ft*. to have the wardship of the land and the heir of Ranulf de
Mei'eseia, of which he had l)ccn seised on the day he crossed over the sea.4
Evidently he died in Normandy when on the King's service.
The witnesses to this charter are all Nottingliamshire men, except the
last five, who were of co. Lancaster, and include Warine, brother of lloger
son of Orm, and Walter son of Stainulf, perhaps of Adlington. The
]>edigrees of the families of Lovetot, Chevrecourt, and Jorz will show that
the date of this charter lies somewhere between 1100 and 1180.
Helton in Loncsdale was held by Roger de Pilkington, by the yearly service of
10*. collected by the bailiff of Salford Hundred. This points to the Grelleyi having
abo relinquished their right in tho lordship of this place, and that Pilkington had
taken the place of Chctham as mesne lord over the Heatons of Bourn Hall. But
the fact of the item of 10-v. appearing in the fenn of Salford Hundred, indicates
thut when this manor hud first been granted out, probably within a few yean after
the date of the Domesday Survey, the grantee hud been the holder of a fief in
Salford Hundred, which suggests that the Grellei*, as first grantees, were chief
lords of i his manor over the barons uf Pcmvortham.
1 Jt is noteworthy that tho manor of Bolton did suit to the Baronial Court of
Pen wort ham at least as late as tho reign of Henry VIII.

NOTES.
Immediately after obtaining the two previous confirmations, and possibly
as a pre-arranged sequence of acts, Roger son of Orm [son of Magnus]
granted the moiety of Heaton to Augustin son of Waldeve, ancestor of the
family of Heaton of Bourn Hall, to hold in free thanage by the same yearly
service as that by which he hini3elf held it, in exchange for Augustin's
inheritance, viz., the third part of Hutton, in Leyland Hundred, upon
condition that if he should not be able to warrant to him the land of
Heaton, Augustin should recover his inheritance in Hutton, unless he had
forfeited it by his own fault. Roger, sou of Orm, held the other two-thirds
410 THK LAXCARIIIItK ClfARTULAItY.
of Hutton in Leylandshire, and lie also hold Medlar in thanage by the
warly service of ttx. Hutton was a member of the barony of Pen wort ham,
and was held hy the service of the third part of one knight's fee.1
In the Inquest of n>. Lancaster, a.d. 1212, we find it recorded that
"Theolmld Walter holds the fee of half a knight [in Amoundernesa], and
thereof Hervey father of Hervey Walter [who was father of Theobald], gave
to Onn son of Magnus in marriage with his daughter Aliz, four carucates
of land in Routhcclive, and in Thistleton, and in Orenhole by military
service."*
To prove that the said Orm was the father of Roger de Hutton, we need
only refer to the VovWrmvd C/tartulan/, where we find his son Elias de
Hutton, granting two oxgangs of land in Thistleton, land in Grenole (now.
Greenhalgh). ail led Quitakur, the homage and service of Walter de Grenole,
and acquittance of multure at his mill of Grenole, to the Abl>ot and canons
of Coekersand, to whom his father had previously given his manor of
Hutton.3
Thus falls to pieces an illusion cherished by the late Mr. Ormerod,
the historian of Cheshire, that the Lathoms of Lathom were the "heira"
named in the Inquest of a.d. 1212, not only of Orm, son of Ailward, but
also of Orm, son of Magnus.4 A calculation of descents will show that
Elias de Hutton, son of Roger, son of Orm, l>eing of full age in or about
the year 1200, his great-grandfather must have been born about the time
that William Ruins ascended the throne, and that his grandfather Orm,
and grandmother Aliz Walter were prokably married in the latter part of
Stephen's reign.
The names of the witnesses to this charter constitute a valuable list of
Lancashire men, holding lands in Amounderness and Leyland Hundreds,
early in the reign of Henry II. We find Albert Bussel, baron of
Penwortham, and Geoffrey his brother ; Richard, thane of Woodplunrpton ;
Richard Fitton of Rufford and Great Harwood ; Robert de Winwick, lord
of Thornton, in Amounderness ; Augustin, son of Gospatrick, unknown ;
Walter, son of Osbert, thane of Lytham, Clifton and Westby ; Jordan, son
of Ricliard, lord of Freckleton ; Roger le Boteler, loitl of Warton ; Grirabald,
probably lord of Ellel ; Orm, son of Bernulf, lord of Over Kellet, and Adam
his brother ; Waldeve and Adam, sons of Gamcl, unknown ; Aelsi, perhaps
lord of Goosnargh ; Siward and Richard, sons of Outi, the former lord of
Cuerden, by the grant of Robert de Molyneux of Sefton in marriage with
his sister ; Adam, son of Ulf, lord of Ulneswalton ; Adam, dean of
Kirkham, also called d'Avranches, to whom William de Lancaster L
gave Yealand and Silverdale, who proffered 10<to. in 30 Henry II., to marry
one of his daughters to Henry, son and heir of Xorinan de Redman,* by
which marriage one moiety of Yealand came to the Redman family ; Hugh
de Insula occurred in the previous charter, but has not been identified ;
Elias, son of Roger de Hutton, the grantor ; William, son of Orm, unknown ;

NOTES.
In the two last charters we dealt with a moiety only of the township of
Heaton in Lonsdale, viz., that which was held in free thanage by the yearly
service of 10*., and I2d. sakefee. In this charter we have to deal with the
other moiety, which was held by military service, imposed in lieu of 10*.
1 Charier Soil, 1 John, Pt. I, w. 4.
412 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
the balance of the yearly service of 20*., referred to in Albert Grelley\s
confirmation to Roger, son of Orm (p. 404). The Inquest of co. Lancaster
of A.D. 1212 records that "the same Warine [Bussel] gave to Hamon
le Boteler (Pincerna), in frank marriage with his daughter two carucates of
land in Heton, and in Ethiliston," adding further that in 1212, " Adam de
Hocton holds the same Heton, to wit one carucate of land."1 We can
prove by this charter that Adam de Hocton was the lineal grandson of
Hamon le Boteler, for herein as Adam, son of Richard, son of Hamon
le Boteler, he grants to August in [de Heaton], son of Waldeve, the moiety
of Hetune, to hold in fee and inheritance by doing the ninth part of the
service of one knight. By this deed therefore Augustin de Heaton l>ecame
possessed of the whole manor and township of Heaton in Lonsdale, which
desceuded in that family for many generations, passiug by marriage in the
fifteenth century to the Catteralls, and from them to the Brockholes of
Claughton.
The witnesses deserve some notice. The first, William de Winchelcombe,
was at that time prior of Penwortham ;» Alexander the priest of Pen-
wortham, and Robert the clerk ; Richard Banastre of Bretherton, of the
family of Banastre of Bank Hall ; Roger, son of Orm, lord of Hutton (the
grantee of No. II, and grantor of No. Ill), and Warine his brother, possibly
ancestor of de Coruay, and Bradkirk of Brad kirk Hall, in Medlar ; Peter de
Burnhull, lord of Brindle ; Ughtred, son of Hucca or Huck, lord of Little
Singleton, and Broughton (see Series XX, No. II), Gerold de Clayton, dapifer
or steward of the baron of Penwortham ; Walter, son of Stainulf, perhaps
lord of Ad ling ton ; Si ward lord of Stand ish ; Swain Scathe a free tenant in
Hutton ; Robert Tait, Adam, son of Waldeve, Richard, son of Margaret, and
Alfred the clerk, unknown ; William, son of Alan, lord of Gunolf s moors ;
Geoffrey de Clayton, and four others unidentified. The date is somewhere
in the latter part of the reign of Henry II., or early in that of Richard I.

NOTES.
Reference to this charter has been made previously (page 43), but the
assumption there made that by this grant Preston became a free borough is
altogether untenable when the text is examined. King Henry grants and
confirms " to my Burgesses of Preston all those liberties and free customs
which I gave and granted to my Burgesses of Newcastle under Lyme"
(see the next charter). Preston had long been a borough, probably from
Saxon times, and the present charter confers upon them the right to have a
Guild Merchant, with the liberties and free customs pertaining to this
manner of Guild. For this they had proffered 100 marks, and whereas the
town had formerly rendered £0 yearly, as a member of the royal demesne to
the ferm of the Honor, the burgesses henceforth rendered £6 of increment,
or a total of £15. The date of this grant was at Winchester, in September,
1179.
Three years before, Preston had contributed the sum of £16 10*. to the
aid or tallage levied in anticipation of an expedition to Normandy (page
36). This rate was many times higher than that levied upon ordinary
agricultural land, and proves that Preston was a town of considerable
magnitude in 1176.
A recent contributor to the English Historical Review1 points out the
probability of Preston having received a form of the laws of Breteuil from
the first lord after the Conquest, Roger the Poictevin, which laws have been
preserved to the present time in the document known as the " Custumal of
Preston," probably written in the time of Edward I. The last line of this
document states that "this is the law of Preston in Aumundrenesse which
they have from the Law of Breton." It is manifestly improbable that

By this charter John, Count of Mortain, and lord of the Honor of
Lancaster — which he forfeited a few months later — granted to his burgesses
of Lancaster all the liberties which he had given to the burgesses of Bristol,
and released them from suit of his mill, from ploughing service, and other
servile customs which they were wont to perform, and from reaping on his
behalf as they had been accustomed to do. He also granted pasturage of
his woods, as far as their animals could go in the day from the town of
Lancaster and return, and dead wood in his forest as much as they had need
of for burning, and of other timber as much as they had need of for
building, by the view of his foresters. The town of Lancaster, as will be
seen from No. II of Series XIX, lay within the metes of the forest of
Lancaster, hence the servile nature of the tenure, and the restrictions
formerly put upon the inhabitants with respect to pasturage and estovers,
which the Earl now removed.
By another charter which passed at Chin on, 10th October, 1199, after his
accession to the throne, John revoked the clause of the above charter which
conferred a grant of the liberties which the burgesses of Bristol enjoyed,
substituting for it " the liberties which our burgesses of Northampton had
upon the day in which King Henry our Father died." In other respects
the terms of the confirmation were identical with this grant.1 We plead
guilty to having neglected to examine the charter to the burgesses of
Bristol, on the grounds that the grant of similar liberties to Lancaster only
continued for about 6 years. As regards the liberties which Northampton
possessed at the death of Henry II., we presume that they were identical
with those contained in the charter of Richard T., dated at St. Edmund's,
18th November, 1st year of his reign, 1189, as follows* : —
" We have granted to our Burgesses of Northampton that none of them
plead without the walls of the Borough of Northampton of any plea except
pleas of oujtlioldings,3 except our moneyers and ministers. Also we have
granted to them acquittance of murder1 within the Borough and in
portsoken,* and that none of them make duel,6 and that of pleas apper-
taining to the Crown they may justify according to the custom of the
Citizens of the City of London y and that within the walls of the same
Borough no one take hostellagc* by force or by livery of the Marshall ;
And this we have granted to them that all the Burgesses of Northampton

3 Pleas concerning lands and tenements lying outside the town.
4 Freedom from the penalty which was exacted from the inhabitants of a town
or hundred, wherein a murder had been committed.
* Portsoken comprised the liberties of a town outside the walls.
6 To make duel was to challenge to combat in order to prove a cause.
7 The custom of the City of London being the first city in the land, then, as

sea ; And that no one of Amercement of money be adjudged but according
to the law which our CitizeiiH of London had ; And that in the same
Borough there l>e in no plea of miskenning ;* And that the Hustings9 be
held only once in the week ; and that they justly have all their Lands and
Holdings, and pledges and Debts whomsoever owe to them ; And of their
Lands and Holdings which are within the Borough, right be kept to them
according to the custom of the Borough, and of all their Debts which shall
be lent at Northampton and of the Pledges there made, pleas be held at
Northampton ; And if any one in All England take toll or custom from
the men of Northampton after he have failed of right, the Reeve of
Northampton* shall take distress thereof at Northampton. Moreover for
the amendment of the name Borough we have granted to them that they be
quit of brudtol1 and of childwitc and of hereggive5 and of acotalc,* so that
the Reeve of Northampton or any other Ixailitt' do not make Scotale. We
have granted to them the aforesaid customs and all other lilwrties and free
customs which our Citizens of London7 had or have when they had them
best or more freely, according to the liberties of London and the Laws of
the Borough of Northampton."

and thanes reudered account at the Treasury of 2007*. and ten chargers for
this confirmation, as also of 220//. arrears of the original proffer of 5QOIL
(p. 114). The important question as tc» what townshijw were included "in
the forest of the Honor of Lancaster '" will he dealt with in a subsequent
document. The present volume has shown how the knights and thanes
paid heavy fines in the time of Henry II. to esea]>e the consequences which
would follow the taking of the " reguard of the forest."' Within the metes
of the forest houses built, enclosures made, underwoods or wastes
improved and brought under the plough, timber trees cut down, underwood
or evergreens lopped, hares and foxes killed, dogs kept even for herding or
protection were all acts contrary to the laws of the forest, subjecting the
perjietratora to heavy tines or even imprisonment. When it is remembered
that this was the state of the freeholders within the area extending from
the Keer to the Cocker, and southward to the Kibble, and from the western
coast to the liounriary of Yorkshire, the lordship of Hornby and Chipping-
dale, including even the towns of Lancaster, ami Preston, it will be seen that
they were in a sorry plight until this charter brought them liberty, and
immunity from ]>ains and penalties.
The 700//. and ten charge i*s, large as the sum was in those days, was no
doubt willingly paid for an assurance that they would no longer be subject
to continual oppression, or live in dread of the next forest reguard.

NOTES.
Many of the l>oundaries described in the perambulation of the forest of
Lancashire can he identified, as will Ihj seen by reference to the following
translation.
"This is the }>cramhulation of the forest of the lord King in county
Lancaster made by the precept of the lord King by —
William Blundcll,
Thomas de Beethum,
Adam de Bire (Bury),
William de Tatham,
Adam de Caupemanneswra

Adam de Mul incus.
Gilbert de Kellet,
Paul in de (Jerstanfg],
Patrick de Berwik,
Henrv de Lc[a"|,
Grimliald dc Hellale (EllellX
Thomas de Bernil (Brindle),
who say that the whole forest which was the lord King's in county
Lancaster ought to be disafforested aceordiug to the tenour of the lord
King's Charter of the Forest, except the under-written places —
" Firstly \ Quernenior, by these bounds, to wit, as Lungeleswic (between
Scotforth and Qiieriunoor) extends towards Herlescate (Earl's gate, a road
running in a northerly direction from Lmcaster llaee Course), on the
western side of the head of Qin-rnemore, and following Herlescate in
descending unto the bridge of Musaril (Moss or Moorside X) and following
the syke in descending unto Fritbroc (Frith brook, now Denny Beck, the
boundary between Quernmoor and Bulk), following Fritbroc in descending
into Lon (the river Lime), following Lon in ascending unto Heskehoubroc
(Escowbrook, between Quernmore and Caton), following ITeskehoubebroc in
ascending unto Stokbrigge (Stockbridge, on the road between Quernmore
Park and Brookhouse), following Stokebrigg in ascending unto Aukesdene
(Hawks Dene, the gill near Hawkshcad), following the ayke of Aukesdene in
ascending unto the little syke which is under Ulvesweit (Ullthwaite, near
Ilollinhead), and from that little syke unto Stordac (Storthoak, probably in
HoUinhead Wood), and from Stordac unto the eastern side of the head of
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 423
Brunesgare (Brunscar, a name preserved in Broom Brow Wood), following
Brunesgare in ascending unto the summit of the head of Clochehoc (Olougha
Pike, between Littledale and Quernmore), and from the summit of the head
of Clochehoc unto the head of Darneiesgile (by the summit of Grit Fell,
down to Appletree, at the head of Damas gill), following Dameresgile in
ascending unto the little syke which is between the two Waresherles
(? Waterah eddies, near the north-east corner of Ellel), following the little
syke unto Blomos (Blea-moss ? near Black-house, and Black-wood), and from
Blomos following the little syke into Gondovere (the river Conder), following
Gondovre in ascending to where the watercourse of Li tt elf el (Little fell,
near the north-east corner of Scotforth), falls into Gondovere, following the
little syke in ascending unto the moss under Yuelotes hevede (olim Eghlotes-
heved, probably the height to the north of Little Fell), following that moss
in ascending unto the way of Stokesweit (Stockthwaite), following the way
of Stokesweit in ascending unto Herlescate (olhn Erlesgate). Moreover,
without these bounds King John formerly gave a portion of that forest by
his charter to Matthew Gernet and his heirs, rendering therefor yearly
half a mark, saving to himself his venison (i.e. hunting), and thereof the lord
King shall do his will.
"Item, except Couere (Calder), and Blesedale by these bounds, to wit from
the head of Caldre (Calder River, Ordnance map No. 40), on the southern
side unto Hulvesty (Wolf sty or Ulfs-sty), and from Vluessti following unto
the summit of the head of Pirloc (Parlick Pike, map 45), and from the
summit of the head of Pirloc following the Mereclo (Meerclough) in
descending unto where the Mereeloc falls into Brok (river Brock) at
Sthorfinelees (olim Thorpen Lees), following Broc in descending unto
the watercourse on the eastern side of Wensnape (Winsnape), following
Wensnape in ascending unto Stogthole (olim Stayngile, now Stangule) and
from Stogesthol unto Senesti (Comisty, the road through Quakenclough,
map 10), following Senesti in descending into Calder and so following Calder
in ascending unto the aforesaid Wulsty (Wolf sty).
"Item, except Fulewude (Fulwood) by these bounds, to wit from the Hay
of Ravenkel (near Plungington House) unto the way of Dunepul (north of
Preston Moor), and thence as the watercourse runs to Dupedale (Deepdale
Road), and thence unto Lund to the upper head, and thence as the water-
course of Dupedale goes to Fulwude, and thence as that watercourse falls
into Huctredescate (Ughtred's gate), and thence as the way goes to lower
Coleford, and thence as it falls down to Cadileisahe (Cadley-shaw) and thence
unto the Hay of Ravnekil. And [herein] the men of Preston ought to have
timber for their buildings and to burn, and pasture for their beasts.
" Item, except Toxstakes (Toxteth) by these bounds, as where Hoskelles-
broc (OskilPs brook) falls into Merese (the river Mersey) and following
Hoikelesbroc in ascending unto the Haghou meadow, and from that meadow
unto Brummesho following the syke unto Brumlansic, and thence across by
the old turbaries upon two nioors unto Lombes thorn, and from Lombes-
thorn thence descending unto the Waterfal of the head of Hoterpol (Otter
pool), following Hoterpol in descending unto Merese (the river Mersey).
And by (next) these bounds the lord King John put Smethesdune (Smeedon)
with the appurtenances into the forest, and gave Thingwell in exchange to

a certain poor man in place of it, and thereof the lord King may do his
will.
"Item, except the underwood of Derby by these bounds, to wit from
Brodehapeltre (broad applutree) in I la mm ear, and so through the xnidst of
the can* unto Uasellenehirstc, and so where the (Kith issues forth the grove
to over Lungle (Langley ?) which extends from Derby towards Kyrkeby
(Kirkby)andso beyond Lungle (I^mgloy) into Mukehrokes (Muck-brooks ? ),
and in ascending by Mukebrokes unto Thrumthoradelebroc (Thru ni- thorn -
dale-brook ?), and so ascending unto the plain of Tiling walacrea (Thing-wall
acres). The neighbouring towns have common of the herbage and other
things in the aforesaid underwood, and the men of Derby have all
necessaries in that underwood.
" Item, except Burtoncswod (Burton Wood) by these bounds, to wit from
Hardesty (the Hardsty) as far as from Sanky (Smiky) and from Ravnes-
neslake (ltovcn's-ness-leach) unto Bradelesbroc (Bnideley brook); bo that
William le Boteler and his heirs have common of jwsturo and store cattle
and mast for their swine, and timber for their Castle of Werineton
(Warrington), and for buildings, and for burning."
The effect of this perambulation was to strictly confine the operation of
the forest laws within the areas prescribed, and to clearly define the liberties
of certain townsnips and free tenants within those areas. Before the
"Charter of the Forest" was granted, the severity of the foivst laws was felt
throughout a large proportion of the county, in fact throughout the whole of
the country between the Itihble and the Keer, except the lordship of Hornby,
and through the townships which adjoined areas of forest in the hundred of
West Derby. But although many lilicrties were now enjoyed in the districts
which lay around the forest, these townships were not entirely free from the
restrictions incidental to the preservation of the King's deer, and men
frequently found themselves liable to line or amercement owing to the acts
of those among their neighbours and fellow villagers, who loved the taste of
venison, and the excitement accompanying a poaching expedition into the
forest, and never let slip an opportunity of sreuring a stray or wounded
buck, when there was someone ready to give a good price for a haunch,
without asking curious questions about its origin.
The boundaries of this partially-exempt district are described in the two
following documents —

NOTES.
Tlie early part of the Molyneux pedigree is so very incorrect that a few
notes to correct the inaccuracies will not be out of place. William des
Molines, who stands at the head of the pedigree, without the slightest
warrant for the liberty taken in putting him there, derived his name from
Moulins-la-Marche (Molendina) in the department of the Orne, whereas the
name Molyneux or Moulineaux was derived from the place of the same
name (Molinelli) in the department of Seine Inf6rieure. The merest tyro
1 Probably Tarn Brook is here intended.
428 THE LANCASHIRE CIIAUTULARY.
in historical study illicit know also that a nobleman held iu high esteem by
the ('mi i pi cror, as William des Molines is naiil to have been, would not have
received as his share upon the division of conquered England a hide and a
half of laud held by the .service of only half a knight ! The earliest known
incmlier of the family is the knight of Count Roger the Poictevin, whom he
enfeoffed - after the restoration of hi* Lauc.-mhirc fief by William Rufus— of
loj, teamlauds, viz. : S»-ftoii, (\ teamlauds, the third jwirt of Thornton, viz. :
1 teamlaud, a moiety of Downlithcrland, viz. : 1$ tea inland, and Cuerdeu, 2
teamlauds. The inquest of en. Ijancaster, taken iu A.D. 1212 — when Richard
de Molyneux was the lord of Seft »n— thus records the original feoffment —
" Richard de Muliuas holds ten teamlauds and a half by the gift of Roger
the I'oicte\ in by the service of half the fee of one knight." The name of the
first grantee, Vi\ i.ni de Molyneux, is |K»ssibly preserved in the following
charter : " Know all men present and to come that I, Richard lu Molyneux
of Seaflon, have given, remitted and released from me and my heirs for
ever to Thomas ]<• Molyneux my son, all right, title, claim or interest, which
I have had, now have, or in any wise could have in Little Sal ton, and i.ther
my lauds ami tenements iu Lowthian in the pa its of Scotland, which were
formerly Vivian le Molyneux's, whose heir I am. Witnesses, Sir Itol>ert de
Latham and others. <ii\cu in the Slh year of the reign of King Edward,
son of King Kdward (l;jl">), under seal bearing the Cross moline."
(IkMhirortli* MS. LX L f. 1 1-1.)
Tlic evidence of this chart ci' must be taken for what it is worth as
proving that Vivian was the name of the first grantee. I have seen no other
evidence, nor does < 'amden — who probably quoted from the incorrect pedigree
drawn up by William Detheek, Carter, :20th duly, l.r)SJ)— state his authority.
J)etheck in hi* pedigree under " Vivian " states, " hujus Viviani de Mulinaus
testautur char(;e autitpiissiuwe penes Kichardum Molineus, mil item, nunc
houiiuum de Scftmi Milicite adhuc recondita1. qua* de code in Viviano, Adamo,
et subseipiente (iidiebno cum aliis ins|>e\imus.v The same authority gives
Siwarda as his wife. As the same authority assumes that Adam de
Molyneux was son and heir of Vivian, on t in* strength of a release made by
Adam of land in Mclling and ( oiiscough to ( 'ockcrsand Abl>ey, which was
not founded until about IIM, the reliability of his other evidence may be
estimated at its true value.
The successor of Vivian, and probably his son, was Robert, the grantee
named in this charter, wherein Stephen, ( 'mint of Mortain, and lord of the
Honor of Lineaster grants, and as it seems confirms to the said Robert "his
land of Liderlant,': /.''., a moiety of hownlitherland, which his descendant
was said to hold iu 1:21:2 u in exchange of Toxteth,1' whereby it would appear
that Henry I. had made the exchange between 1 102 and 1114, in order to
put Toxteth into his rojal forest. If this was so, there is no doubt that
Count Stephen's charter was the necessary confirmation which would be
sought for after he had entered into possession of the Honor of Lancaster
and we may safely ascriW it to a date soon after 1114, say 1114 to 1116.
A translation of the charter will run thus -u Stephen, Count of Boulogne
and Mortain, to his sheriffs and all his barons Hcmleth greeting. Know ye
that I grant to Robert de Moliness his land in Liderlant for 14*. yearly to
him and his heir. Witnesses, Robert the Stewart, and Robert de Vilers,
TIIE LANCASHIRE CIIARTULARY. 429
Know also that I grant to him Oschil, son of Hof, and give him. Witnesses,
Adam de Belnai, William, son of Theobald." The style is curious and curt.
Oschil, son of Hof, was one of the Count's villeins, perhaps transferred to
Downlitherland from the Count's adjoining demesne of Great Crosby. The
evidence of this charter renders it probable that this Robert de Molyneux
was the father of another Robert, to whom we have three references in the
Inquest of co. Lancaster of 1212. The first may refer to either father or
son, in fact it is more likely to refer to the former. The record states that,
" The same Pain [de Vilers, the first lord of Warrington] gave to Robert de
Muliuas one team land in Thorinton by knight's service where ten teamlar.ds
make the fee of one knight, which Robert, son of Richard [de Molyneux]
holds now [in 1212] by the same service."
In the next two entries, which clearly refer to the son, we have reference
to two infeudatious made by him. " Robert de Mulinas, father of the tame
Richard [who was living in 1212] gave two team lauds in Kirden [Cuerden]
with his sister to Siward, son of Outi, and now Henry his son holds those
team lands by knight's service. And of those teamlands the same [Henry]
gave three acres of land to the blessed Mary of Kokersand in alms."
"The same Robert de Mulinas gave to Gilbert his brother one teamland
in Thorinton by knight's service, as much as belongs to one teamland of that
fee, and now [in 1212] Richard his son holds that land by the aforesaid
service."1
The approximate date of Robert's death was probably circa 1170. At
Michaelmas, 1182, his son, Richard de Mulineals, rendered account at the
Treasury for licence to agree with the men of Singleton respecting a certain
new assize (p. 47). At Michaelmas, 1 194, he rendered account of 100*. which
lie had proffered to have the King's pardon and good will, because he had
taken part in the rebellion of John, Count of Mortain, for which his lands
were in the King's hands (p. 77). In the inquest of the county taken in
a.d. 1212, he was returned as holding the lordship of Sefton for half a
knight's fee in chief of the King, also three teamlands in Little Crosby
held of the barony of the Constable of Chester (i.e. Widues), by the service
of the fourth and 20th parts of a knight's fee, and the vill of Larbrick in
Amounderness jointly with four other persons. He married [Anuota?]
daughter of Roger Geruet, chief forester of Lancaster, who gave liim Sj>eke
in marriage with his said daughter, and in the year 1213, he died, being
succeeded by his son and heir Adam de Molyneux, who had livery of his
father's lands by writ dated 24th November, 1213.

Ihoctun, now Uroughton, in the parish of Preston, was aaaeftsed to
Danegeld in loc>0 as one tcamland, and was a member of Earl Tostig's
great manor of Preston in Amounderiicss. Hucca or Uok is the Anglo-
Saxon I In'-, a tribal name retained in the place name "Hacking." The
individual so named in the charter seems to have l>een the successor of the
pre-conquest thane or drengh of Broughton, and the holder of a serjeanty
attached to the. ownership of the estate of Little Singleton. He was the
ancestor of the Singleton family, which with its various offshoots at one time
held large estates in Amounderness. Ughtred, son of lluck, is frequently
mentioned in charters and other records of the time of Henry II. At
Michaelmas, -23 Henry II., 1177, he rendered account at the Treasury of
5 marks to have the Kind's confirmation or warranty of land (perhaps in
Stainall) which he held by the gift of (JeoUrcy de Valoines, who had been
Sheriff of Lancaster during the time that William, Count of Boulogne, wan
lord of the Honor; he also rendered account of 100.*. that he might give
another daughter of Robert, son of Itcinward, in marriage. In a charter
of Penwortham Priory, this Robert is dcscriWd as nepo* doniini, where
dominu* refers to Richard Mussel, baron of Penwortham (1153-11 GO).1
Tn the almve charter William, ('mint of Uoulogne, Warren and Mortain,
as he is there destribed, confirms to Tghtred and his heirs eight oxgangs of
laud in IJroughton with the appendages and appurtenances, to hold of him
and his heirs jus Tghtreds ancestors had held it by the service due, viz.,

and William de Sauchevill, and a number of his Lancashire knights or
thanes, viz., William h'tz Gilbert de Lancaster, Orm, son of Magnus,
of Hutton and Greenhalgh, Roger, son of Ravenkil of Woodplumpton,

NOTES.
In this charter we have reference to an earlier grant made by Henry II.
to Warine de Lancaster, chief falconer of Lancaster, reputed to be a younger
son of Gilbert de Lancaster, of the vills of Ravensmeols, Ainsdale, Uplither-
land, Liverpool, and French Lea, and one penny of rent in the borough of
Preston, to hold by serjeanty of being the King's falconer. Count John of
Mortain had confirmed this grant to Warine after receiving the Honor in
1189. Between that year and the date of this charter, which passed before
1194, "Warine died and was succeeded by Henry his son, to whom the Count
herein confirmed his inheritance. The witnesses were Stephen Ridel,
the Count's chancellor, William de Cahaines, Richard de Reviers, Fulc de
Cantelou, Ralph le Waleys, Master Benet or Benedict Malduit and Canute.

Ily this eharter John, ( .'omit of Mortain, granted the vill of Great Crosby —
a mriiiliiT of hi* I,aneashire demesnes— to Robert son of Osbert de Aimilvea-
dale (now Ainsdale), his forester of West Derby, to hold in aerjeauty by the
free service i if oink hundred shillings yearly. < Ireat Crosby was a member of

of II i »nry II. in 1177 win mi it was t allayed 3(5*. Hd. (]>age 35). Upon the
Count's forfeiture of the Honor of I^aiuaster in 1194, this manor was seised
into the Kind's hands, except half a teamland which Itobertde Ainsdale was
allowed to ivtain, or had held in the time of Henry II. The inquest of
1*21:2 states that *' Kohert wm of Oshert liolds half a team land to be reeve of
the niauor of Crossed »i and of the forest in I )erbisire." In a schedule of the
feiin of the Wapentake of West Derby enrolled on the Pipe Roll of 10 Henry

NOTES.
A full account of this charter has already appeared on page 81. It
is not quite clear when Theobald was dispossessed of the Wapentake of
Amounderness, but it probably occurred upon the accession of King John,
who restored it by writ dated 2nd January, 1202. (see page 211). As it

did not descend to his heirs, it is safe to assume that on the accession of
Henry III., if nut on the death of Theobald, the Crown resumed possession,
and again put the Wapentake into the royal demesne.

NOTES.
That part of the < 'barter Roll of the Hist year of King John, upon which
charters of the month of June, 1101), were enrolled, now no longer exists,
hence the inclusion of this charter in the present series. Ranulf was
probably appointed Treasurer of Salisbury upon the elevation of his
predecessor Savaric fitz (leldewin to the see of Bath and Wells in 1192.1
It t.-an hardly be doubted that lianulf had been presented by John, when
lie was Count of Mortain, during the long period of the King's wardship of
tlie lands ,unl the heir of Robert Banastre of Makerfield. It is worthy
of note that Kanulf as parson of Wigan only took the very moderate pension
of one mark from his benefice, and that his successors do not appear to
have been entitled to more.

NOTES.
Copies of this and the three following charters have recently come to
light in Kuerden's MS., Vol. V., preserved in the College of Arms, and as
they throw some additional light upon the infeudations recorded in Series
XVII., they have been included in this volume. In the Inquest of co.
Lancaster taken A.D. 1212 it is recorded that "the heir of Roger de Heton
438- THE LAXCASIIIKK CHAIlTULARY.
holds 2 J teamlandr: of the lord King in thanage by xvijt. per annum?1
The details of this thanage estate are not given, but from subsequent rentals
it is ascertained that the estate was composed of the manor and Hall of
Bourn containing <me teumland, yearly service 10*., the manor of Weat-
hushaui, now called Wesham, containing one team land, yearly service 4*. ;
and (Jriinsargh containing half a tea inland, yearly service 3*., all lying
within the Hundred of A nio underlies*.
In the above charter we have |Hirticulars of various estates held by Roger
de Ilcaton, son of Augustin, in or about the year 1189, when John, Count
of Mnrtain, received the Honor of Lancaster. Herein the Count confirms (1)
the grant of four oxgangs of land in Weshain, being half the viil, which
linger held of the Karl by the thanage service of 2*. yearly ; and other
reasonable gifts of lands and tenements made to the said Roger by the
Count's knights and free tenants, viz. (2) by the grant of Adam de Hoghton,
son of Richard, son of llamon le ttoteler, of the moiety of Heat on in
Lonsdale (ritle Series X., No. IV.) ; (3) by the grant of Roger son of Orni
(son of Magnus) the vill of (irinisargh, to wit half a ttamland (vide Series
XVII., No. III.; ; (4) fmir oxgangs of land in Urswick in Furness, by the
grant of I 'If son of Kfwanl, wlm was a witness to an agreement made between
Alan de Pennington and t'ic monks of Funics*, touching the partition of
pasture in land lying in Pennington,- about the year 1180, and was probably
the younger brother and successor of William son of Efward, or Eward, to
whom Michael le Firming gave the above half team land in Urswick hi
marriage by his charter for the yearly service of f>a. ;.(*)) by the grant* of

the other moiety of the vill ; (7) by the grant of William de Lancaster the
land of Corney (now Corn t a \ or Corner 1{«.iw in Greenhalgh).

NOTES.
Kuerden's copy of this charter is somewhat corrupt, so that the last
clause before the witnesses' names is not quite intelligible. It is a confirm-
ation by Theobald Walter of the vill of Wesham to Roger de Heaton to hold
by the service of 4«.} payable by equal instalments at the four usual terms
of the year, for all service. This charter was obtained by Roger after the
Hundred of Amounderness had been granted by King Richard to Theobald
(vide Series XX., No. VI.) in the year 1194. It was the usual practice of
those who had been enfeoffed of lands belonging to a mesne tenant to obtain
a confirmation from the chief lord of such feoffments whenever a change
occurred in the ownership of the fee. The corrupt clause seems to provide
440 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
against Roger or his heirs claiming compensation or an equivalent estate
from Theobald or Ins lieii-s in case the former lost this vill, unless they were
deprived of it by Theobald or his heirs.
Of the witnesses, live out of the first six attested Theobald's grant of the
Hay of Pilling to Cockersand Abl>ey (vuie Cockersand Chartulary, VoL II.,
p. 375). The first is unintelligible. The others are all Lancashire free
tenants in Lonsdale, Ainounderness and Leyland. Perhaps the two last
are intenled fur Ralph de Farinton and Richard de Walton.

NOTES.
.Reference to the Cockersand Chartulary, Vol. I., p. 168, shows that
Medlar descended from Roger, son of Orm, son of Magnus to his daughter
Cecily, who married firstly Benedict Gernet, who died in 1206, and secondly
Elias de Stiveton, lord of Steeton, co. York, by whom she had issue, Reiner
de Stiveton and a daughter Matilda, the grantor, who received Medlar from
her father by testamentary bequest together with the mill of Greenhalgh,
and the homage and service of Adam de Corney and his heirs for the land
of Corney, in Greenhalgh.
These estates Matilda granted or mortgaged in her urgent need to Gilbert
Fitz Reinfred for the sum of seven marks, which transaction took place in
Gilbert's baronial court of Kirkby Kendal, before Henry de Redman, the
seneschal, and the suitors of the court, viz., Lambert de Bussey, lord of
Lambrigg ; Adam, son of Roger, lord of Yealand ; Gilbert de Lancaster,
lord of Witherslack, Patterdale and Barton ; William de Wiudsore, lord of
Heversham, Grayrigg and Morland ; Roger de Burton (of the family of
Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne), lord of Burton in Kendal ; William, son
of Waldeve, lord of Tatham, and of lands in Ul vers ton ; Gamel, the forester
of Kendal ; Richard D'awney (?) ; Benedict Gernet ; Ralph de Stiveton

NOTES.
This confirmation records that William de Lancaster (Fitz Gilbert)
enfeoffed Roger, son of Orm (son of Ail ward), of the land lying between the
rivers Lickle and Duddon, in Furness, i.e., Dunnerdale and Seathwaite at
some period between 1140 and 1170. Which feoffment his son, the second
William de Lancaster, herein confirmed to William de Kirkby-Irleth, son of
the said Roger, describing the land as lying "between Licul and Duden, and
from Licul over against the mountain unto Dearsgarth, and from the head
of the fence upwards unto Calf head and then from Calfhead following over
against the mountain unto the head of the valley of Glenscalan (or Glen-
salan), thence following unto Wranishals (i.e., Wrynose Hawse), and thence
from Duden over against the valley unto Licul." This boundary clearly
corresponds with the modern boundary of the township of Dunnerdale and
Seathwaite. The service due was only four shillings yearly at Christmas.
The date of the confirmation lay between 1170 and 1 184, probably within
five years of the earlier date. The witnesses were the grantor's natural son,
Gilbert ; his seneschal or steward, Norman de Redman, of Levens ; Ughtrcd,
son of Osulf, probably a Furness man ; William, the chaplain (of Dalton ?) ;
Patrick, the Knight, and William de Piemont, who have not been identified.
William de Lancaster III. also confirmed this grant between 1220 and
1246 to Alexander de Kirk by, grandson of the above William, son of Roger
de Kirkby. The charter was attested by Lady Agnes, wife of Sir William
de Lancaster the grantor, Sir Roger de Lancaster, Sir Matthew de Redman,
Sir Robert de Lay burn and Sir Lawrence Fitz Richard, Knights ; and by
Roland de Renegil, then seneschal of Kendal ; Alan, son of Orm of Kirkby-
Irleth, Ralph, his son, and Richard de Kirkby.1
In another of his MS. volumes, Dr. Kuerden records the abstract of a
charter by which " Gilbert, father of William de Lancaster, gave to Roger
the Jand between the Licul and Dudun, etc., by rendering four shillings."*
Apparently this refers to a grant even earlier than those referred to, and of
a date before 1140. The abstract, however, being very brief, it would be
unwise to draw from it any serious deduction.
