Dear all,

I have been searching in vain for a pedigree of the Nevilles of Scotton in the 14th century. The account in Complete Peerage, vol. 9, pp. 476-8 ends with Robert de Neville who founded a chantry in Scotton in 1294.

Robert de Neville died about 1316 and was succeeded by his son Philip, and he by his son Philip. Was there another Philip after these?

The last male heir if the Nevilles was a Philip de Neville who left a daughter and heiress Maud, successively wife of Sir William Cantelou (murdered at Scotton, 31 March 1375), Sir Thomas de Kydale (died before 30 November 1381) and Sir John Bussy (executed at Bristol on 29 July 1399). Maud died before June 1386 when Sir John Bussy was married to Mary, widow of John de Multon of Frampton (died in Prussia, 18 August 1368), and Ralph Daubeney of South Ingleby, South Petherton, etc. [this marriage is not shown in Complete Peerage] who died after December 1378.

Does anyone know when the last Philip Neville died and who he married?

Regards,
John

Hi John

I show Maud's parents as a Sir Robert son of Sir Philip and Isabel de Beaumont. Sir Robert marrying Joan Deincourt heiress of Sir Roger D. and Maud Bugge.

I only have secondary references: Rosie Bevan, A Study of A Medieval Knightly Family: The Longfords of Derbyshire, Part 1, Foundations, Vol. 1, Number 4, July 2004, pps 211-231. Robert Thoroton, History of Nottinghamshire, Volume 1, London, 1797, p 360.

And some of the information conflicts. I have not looked for any primary doc. so what I currently have may well be wrong.

Doug Smith

The Sir Robert I have did have an older brother Philip (I think)

Sorry I don't have more here.

More Neville of Scotton

This is from The history and antiquities of the county of Leicester v.4 pt.1. Nichols, John, 1745-1826, Neville info on pgs, 156-161, pedigree 167

The Pedigree is very inaccurate in earlier generations. Baker did mention he took some of his info from this pedigree.

The applicable part of Rosie Bevan's article I cited earlier in this thread is:

"In 1371 Sir Nicholas and Alice arranged to lease for 40 years, to their niece Maud Neville, sole heir of her parents, and her ill-fated first husband Sir William de Cantelupe 32 , "their purparty of Le Parkhall manor with appurtenances; saving all manner of rents, advowsons, profits of courts, their purparty of mills and the woods and pastures of their parks, and their purparty of Colebotirley, Asshouere, Chestirfeld, Aluy Wod, Grayhirstmore, Brampton Wode, and Molotgroue, of lands and tenements, rents and services in le Peek and of the reversion of Boythorp manor with appurtenances; rent, 66s. 8d. p.a., payable at the two terms of the year " 33

32. Maud and her lover are said to have murdered Sir William Cantelupe in 1375 (Roskell, 1992,
Vol.2, pp.449-450).
33. Manchester University: Crutchley Muniments CRU/18."

She had earlier stated that Alice's sister Joan was married to Robert Neville of Scotton.

Dear Doug,

There is a detailed account of the trial following the murder of Sir William Cantlpe in 1375 in Rosamund Sillem, ed., Some Sessions of the Peace in Lincolnshire: 1360-1375, Lincoln Record Society, 30 (1937), lxvi et seq.
https://archive.org/details/publicationslinc30lincuoft

Maud de Neville, husband of Sir William de Cauntelou was one of the sixteen people accused of his murder, or complicity in it. Sillem presumes that she and Thomas de Kydale, sheriff of Lincoln in 1374-75 and 1377-78, were lovers and conspired to murder William. Kydale's position helped to ensure that Maud and most of the other accused were acquitted. Two of William's servants were found guilty and executed.

For other possible explanations for the motive of this murder, see:

Hi John

Jonathan S. Mackman, The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses, D. Phil. Thesis, Univ. of York, 1999, pps 279-301. Has some on these families (avail online).

Rod Collins has some materials online about Nicholas de Cauntleou with the other explanation:

http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/who-murdered-sir-william-cantilupe-and-why.

From Rod Collins:

"There are some characteristics of Sir Nicholas II that we can be fairly certain of. That he was excessively tall and had a deep voice! Despite his seeming manliness, the cause of Katherine's panic was that her new hero had no external genitals! Here we have it in her own evidence as related by her father to the court at York:

"Katarinam referre quod sepius temptavit manibus suis cum jacuit in lecto cum dicto Nicholao et ipse dormiebat locum genitalium dicti Nicholai et quod nulla palpare nee invenire potuit ibidem et quod locus in quo genitalia sua deberent esse est ita planus sicut manus hominis."

In plain English it states that as he was showing no signs of sexual interest in her she waited until he fell asleep; she then felt with her hand in order to arouse him. To her horror all was smooth where his genitalia should have been as obvious as a man's hand! :shock:

It seems that Sir Nicholas had a condition which today we term 'male pseudo-hermaphroditism ' This affects roughly one in six thousand male babies born. Apart from the height and voice characteristics, the adult cannot satisfactorily pro-generate and tends to die young. Sir Nicholas died at the age of 29.

Sir Nicholas tried desperately to 'keep a lid on the revelation' by abducting Katherine and a group of her servants back to Greasley Castle and trying to force her to declare publicly that they had consummated the marriage. According to her father's priest, Thomas Waus, he showed her a room fitted with manacles where she would be detained if she did not drop the case and make the desired statement: "...Quicquid vos dicitis ego volo fateri vobiscum et in omnibus concordare."

Sir Nicholas was probably horrified at the thought of having to undergo a physical examination by a committee of 'honestum matronae' - 'honest matrons'!

Eventually Sir Nicholas calmed down and as brute force didn't seem to solve the problem, he decided to work within the law and determinedly pursued the support of the Apostolic See which is why he was in Avignon when he died."

Dear John ~

Thank you for your good post. Much appreciated.

I see you have identified Mary, wife of Sir Ralph Daubeney and Sir John Bussy, as previously being the wife of John de Multon, who died in Prussia, 18 August 1368. Can I ask your source for the marriage of Mary and John de Multon?

Recently I located two Common Pleas lawsuits which involve Sir Ralph Daubeney and his wife, Mary. The first lawsuit establishes that Ralph and Mary were married before Trinity term 1376.

l. In 1376 Ralph and his wife, Mary, sued Robert Blades in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt of 10 marks. Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/463, image 62f (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT4/E3/CP40no463/aCP40no463fronts/IMG_0062.htm).

2. In 1377 Ralph and his wife, Mary, sued John del More, of Asgarby, Lincolnshire and Robert Carter in the Court of Common Pleas regarding their fee at Kirkby la Thorpe, Lincolnshire. Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/466, image 63 (available at http://aalt.law.uh.edu/AALT6/R2/CP40no466/466_0063.htm).

I believe the fee at Kirkby la Thorpe, Lincolnshire was part of Mary's dower from her first marriage to John de Multon. If so, this information helps confirm Mary's marriage to John de Multon.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Dear Douglas.

The information on Mary's first marriage to John de Multon of Frampton comes from her inquisition post mortem.
"Mary wife of John Bussy, knight. Writ, 8 July, 22 Richard II [8 July 1398]. Lincoln, Inquisition taken at Lincoln, Tuesday before St Mark, 22 Richard II [22 April 1399]. She held the under-mentioned lands for life by the gift of John de Multon, knight, deceased, formerly her husband, ... "

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol17/pp402-417

The information that she was married secondly to Sir Ralph Daubney comes from another inquisition:
28 June 1386, Inquisition post mortem of Giles Daubenay, knight. Lincoln, "South Ingelby. The manor, in Saxilby and Broxholm, with the advowson of the church of Broxholm and all other its appurtenances, held of the lord de Roos, as of his honor of his castle of Bewer, by service of 2 1/2 knight's fees and 21s. 4d. rent yearly. The manor renders to Mary wife of John Bossy, knight, formerly the wife of Ralph Daubeney, knight, Giles's father £33 6s. 8d. yearly, with a clause of entry in default of payment."
Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, vol. 16, Richard II (1974), No. 367.

Any ideas on who Mary was?

I've been asked whether I can throw some light on the information about Maud de Neville in my article on the Longfords. I had reservations about the traditional pedigree and came to the conclusion that Maud de Neville must have been a daughter of Joan Deincourt.

Joan Deincourt and Robert de Neville married in 1343 and Maud de Neville was married to William de Cantilupe by 1371. In the intervening 28 years it seemed chronologically unlikely that a son could have been born early enough to father a daughter married by 1371. Joan's mother, Maud Bugge, was under age in 1325 i.e. under the age of 14/15, so unlikely to have had Joan, (who I believe was the elder daughter since her sister Alice's marriage was not arranged until 1346), until around 1330-1331. This is consistent with Joan being around 12-13 upon her marriage to Robert de Neville and not likely to bear children for another few years. So any child would probably be born no earlier than 1345 and certainly no later than 1353 when Robert died. For a son Philip to have a married daughter in 1371, he would have had to father her at the age of 14, which seemed too much of a stretch. I think Philip must have been an elder brother of Robert de Neville in the light that Philip's wife Sarah died in 1344 according to Baker. If that is the case Philip certainly wasn't son of Joan Deincourt.

Incidentally, the mother of the unfortunate Nicholas and William de Cantilupe was Joan, eldest daughter of Adam, Lord Welles (d. 1344/45). I didn't see this mentioned in Pederson's article.

Rosie

Dear Rosie,

Nice to hear from you. What sources are you using for Robert de Neville of Scotton and Joan Deincourt? I am unable to find any contemporary references to them in any of the published calendars or feet of fines, etc.

The exact dates of death given in Nichols' pedigree of the family seem to be derived from inquisitions, but I have been unable to find any.

Best regards,
John

Thanks for sharing your sources John. Much appreciated.

I can add one additional snippet of information regarding the much married Mary.

Foster, History of the Villages of Aisthorpe and Thorpe-le-Fallows (1927): 99-101 indicates that Mary Daubeney, as "lady of North Ingleby," presented to a mediety of the church of St. Denis at Kirkby by Laythorpe, Lincolnshire in 1380.

She held in her demesne as of fee: South Ingleby, the manor, with its appurtenances in Kirkby la Thorpe, Marton, Willingham by Stow and elsewhere, of Thomas earl of Kent, by knight service, annual value £21. It was taken into the earl's hands owing to the minority of John son and heir of Maud, daughter of Mary. He held it from her death until the day of his forfeiture; then it was taken into the king's hands and held by the escheators who answered for the profits. Frampton, the manor called 'Multon Hall', with its appurtenances in Frampton, Wyberton, Kirton and Boston, of the lord of the earldom of Richmond by knight service, annual value £22. At her death it was in the hands of the keeper of the lands of Queen Anne, and he took the manor of Frampton and its profits owing to the death and the minority until the day of the king's coronation. Since then it has been held by Thomas Graa of York and his executors, by the king's grant, paying £22 at the exchequer by equal parts at Easter and Michaelmas. Miningsby and Stretton, the manors, of the honour of Bolingbroke of the duchy of Lancaster by knight service, annual value £8. The ministers of the duchy have held and taken the profits since her death.

Dear John
The pedigrees of Neville of Brampton and Scotton seem very conflicted and the information I have comes from a variety of sources - but the dates pertaining to Robert Neville come from Baker who seemed precisely informed. Robert's date of death is consistent with his widow Joan's remarriage to Sir John Ryvel by 1356, for example. Having said that, I've not seen a contemporary reference to Robert. I'm wondering if the Lansdowne document was the source of all the information, though looking at the BL catalogue the reference number does not look quite right. The focus of my paper was on the Longfords so I did not pursue the Nevilles to any great extent.

Dear Jason,

Thanks for those photos, much appreciated. The charters from Christopher Hatton's Book of Seals confirm something which I have long suspected: the identity of Isabel wife of Philip de Neville (III).

She was, I believe, Isabel daughter of William de Erghum and widow of Peter de Percy (II) of Wharram Percy, Yorkshire.

Her seal which is described on page 18, shows: Seal on tag: round 1.12 inch: red. Within a traceried trefoil opening three shields of arms meeting in a point: (i) three water bougets (Ros); (ii) a chevron between three birds; a fess of five fusils (Neville of Scotton): SIGILLVM . ISABELLE . DE. NEVILE

The arms which are not identified; a chevron between three birds, are the arms of Erghum.

Best Regards,
John

"William de Ergham... and Thomas de Outhenby, or de Aunby, and William de Ergham as representatives, the one of Christian, the other of Joan, sisters of Osbert de Arches, while Edmund Mansel claimed a third part, as son and heir of Alice another sister."

Jury determined Alice a bastard.

Which helps determine some about the relationship between some of these families. Not clear it is the same William de Ergham.

Corrections to the pedigree:

1. Malger de Erghum married Joan, sister of Osbert de Arches

2. Walter de Erghum

3. William de Erghum (d. aft. 1322) m. Eustache [possibly a daughter of William de Ros of Ingmanthorpe]

4. William de Erghum (d. bef. 2 Apr 1347) m. Sibyl dau. of Aucher fitz Henry [not Henry fitz Aucher]

5. William de Erghum (d. aft 1405) m. Katherine dau. of Hugh de Cressy

6a. Juliana de Erghum (d.s.p) m. John Aske of Ousthorpe (d. 2 Jun 1429) (first wife)
6b. Sibyl de Erghum (d. abt 1408) m. Robert Cumberworth (d. 1405)

My suggestion that Eustache was a daughter of William de Ros of Ingmanthorpe and his wife Eustache fitz Ralph is purely speculation, based on her name and that the arms of Ros are shown on the seal of Isabel her daughter, wife of Peter de Percy and Philip de Neville.

Sibyl, was a daughter of Aucher fitz Henry, as shown in the summary of the Common Pleas case below, and not his son Henry fitz Aucher as suggested in Complete Peerage, vol. 5, 415.
1364, Trinity Term. Miles de Stapelton, chivaler, and Sibel de Erghum claim against Master John de Snayth 30 acres of land and 6 acres of meadow in Carleton near Snayth, as their right and inheritance, in which John has no entry except through a demise which John de Bella Aqua, sometime husband of Laderana Brewes, great-grandmother of Miles and grandmother of Sibel (whose heirs they are), made in the lifetime of Laderana, when she could not contradict him. From Laderana the right descended to Sibel and Joan, as daughters and heirs; Sibel's purparty descended to Nicholas, as son and heir, and from him to Miles, the plaintiff, as son and heir; Joan's purparty descended to Sibel, the plaintiff, as daughter and heir. Judgment was given for the defendant.
W. Paley Baildon, Baildon and the Baildons, vol. 1 (1912), 337.
