de Lindesay and Allerdale: a Pennington ascent?
John P. Ravilious
Hello All,
An interesting item provided by the Institute of Historical
Research, drawn evidently from the VCH for Cumberland, says in
part,
' The manor of Blennerhasset was given by Alan, Lord of
Allerdale, to his brother-in-law Ranulph de Lindsey, from
whom it passed by inheritance through the families of
Mulcaster, Tilliol, Moresby, and Pickering. The heiress
of the latter sold it in the reign of Henry VIII...' [1]
There exists a lineal descent from Mulcaster (a cadet of
Pennington) through and including the Pickering family, as
stated. If in fact the statement is entirely correct, there
is likely a line of descent as follows (conjectured connection
shown as ????? ):
Maldred of Cumbria = Ealdgyth of
(alleged brother of I Northumbria
Duncan, k of Scots) I (granddaughter of
I Æthelræd II of England
I
I
NN = Gospatric ~ NN
(possibly I E of Northumbria : (not married)
only wife) I d. 1075 :
______________I___ .......:................

PENNINGTON MULCASTER
I will follow up on this post with a more detailed
pedigree of the Pennington descent; work is currently under
way concerning the Mulcaster branch.
Should anyone have further information, documentation or
comment on the conjectured Lindesay-Pennington/Mulcaster
relationship, that would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
John *

Hello All,
Following is the Pennington pedigree as promised (6 generations
only). This indicates all known issue for these generations, and
reflects the marriages with Lacy of Cromwellbothum (known descents)
and Multon of Egremont (childless).
Cheers,
John

' William de Pennington, son of Alan, next appears.
He obtained a grant of free warren in his demesne lands of
Pennington in 1301, and served in the Scotch wars.
In 1317 a dispute between him and the Abbot of Furness was
tried concerning the services due from the manor.
The abbot had in 1314 at 'Quaildalflat' and the Moor in
Pennington seized a number of William's cattle by way of
distraint, alleging that the due reaping in autumn and
ploughing throughout the year had not been done.
The abbot in 1318 made an agreement about it with Sir
William, but the dispute was renewed, and in 1328 he
formally released the ploughing and reaping to John son
of William de Pennington, John acknowledging that he
held the manor of the abbot and convent by the service
of the tenth part of a knight's fee, doing suit at the
abbot's court at Dalton from three weeks to three weeks
and a rent of 30s. yearly. ' [VCH Lancaster, VIII:338-342[4]]

Ormerod, and Helsby, in his "History of Cheshire", 2nd edition, vol iii,
pp 187-200 and specifically p. 188 and the table on p. 198, all on the
family of Venables of Kinderton, Cheshire, has a Roger de Venables
(d.c.1261) who m. Alice de Penington, living 1240, daughter of Alan de
Penington of Penington Hall, Lancs.
The fact that Lancs is immediately to the north of Cheshire makes one
wonder if there is any evidence to connect these two Alans de
Pennington/Penington.

Thanks for your message, and the further details re: Pennington
and Venables. I am not aware of any collateral Pennington line; if
the information in Ormerod et al. is valid, it appears to be a direct
connection.
The Alan de Penington, father in law of Roger de Venables, must
have been the first mentioned (i.e., son of Benedict de Pennington,
father of Thomas), although this first Alan had a son Alan, younger
brother of Thomas de Pennington, who could possibly be father of
'your' Alice. Sir Alan de Pennington, son of Thomas, would not be a
good fit: he was born some time after 27 March 1233, as we was a minor
on succeding his father, and at the time of the following transaction
dated 27 Mar 1254:
' CCCIII. - Surrender to the Convent by Thomas de Greystock
and his wife Agnes of the right of marrying the sons and heirs
of the late Thomas de Pennington, whose widow the said Agnes
was, the right specified being hers by purchase from the
Convent.' [Furness Coucher II:487-8, no. CCCIII ]
