Hello All,

Thanks in particular to Rosie Bevan, I have been able to
reconstruct the pedigree of the de la Hayes of Spaldington. A
skeletal outline is given below, with a detailed pedigree to
follow.

This effort is by no means complete. Should anyone note
further individuals, connections or relevant documentation (after
perusing the forthcoming pedigree post), please advise.

Cheers,

John *

Dear Doug,

Right you are.

Not only is the error in question (Thomas de la Haye marrying
his grandmother, Agnes le Botiller) wrong, it likely would never have
received a papal dispensation.

The detailed pedigree has it correct......fortunately. Thanks
for catching that.

Cheers,

John

Hello All,

Following is a detailed pedigree of the de la Haye family of
Spaldington, reflecting the details and corrections derived from
Early Yorkshire Charters and other records lately found.

There are a number of questions concerning this family which
still lack answers. Peter de la Haye's tenure of Streatlam, co.
Durham will be dealt with in a separate post to the thread
commenced on that issue. Constance, wife of Robert le Butiler
(or Botiller) and great-great grandmother of Agnes le Botiller
(wife of Thomas de la Haye) has been found to be a de la Haye
herself, and a separate post will be made shortly. There may
be an early connection (before 1182) between the de la Hayes of
Spaldington and the Aughton family, but that has not yet been
found. There is still a good possibility that the alleged
marriage of Sir Peter de la Haye (not a son of Thomas de la
Haye of Aughton, as earlier thought) to a niece of William
fitz Peter was the source of certain Spaldington holdings,
but that determination awaits additional evidence.

The additions and corrections this provides to the received
(and hitherto conjectured) de la Haye pedigree would not have been
possible without the contributions of Rosie Bevan, to whom any
credit, and my thanks, are due. Additional documentation or
comment is welcome, as always.

Cheers,

John *


1 Ralph de la Haye
----------------------------------------

of Spaldington, co. Yorks.

' In 1182 a certain Richard son of Anthony owed 10 marks for the right
of 10 carucates and one bovate in [Kirk or West] Ella and Spaldington
against Ralph de Haya and Reginald Rosel; but he had not the right. '
[EYC XII:88[1], cites "Pipe Roll 28 Hen. II, p. 45. The debt
continued
and was paid in 1185 (ibid. 31 Hen. II, p. 65)."]

" Radulfus de la Haie ", record of a gift to Swine priory, 1188 or
before:
" 65. Notification by the chapter of Swine priory that Ralph de la
Hay, with the consent of his heirs Richard and Philip, had given
in frankalmoign 9 bovates of land and a dwelling in Spaldingtonk,
and in lieu of 3 other dwellings belonging thereto 12 acres in his
woodland for making granges, namely a fifth of his land in
Spaldington of the fee of Roger de Mowbray, the priory doing a
proportionate amount of the forinsec service due; with pasture
for 100 cows, 100 pigs, of which 60 would be free of pannage,
400 sheep, and 220 unbroken mares with their foals; the fifth part
being in the donor's woodland lying next the hermitage of
Spaldingholme and the 12 acres adjacent, extending to the
boundary between the donor's woodland and that of Howden.
[ante 1189] " [EYC XII:89-90, no. 65[1] - Original Charer, B.M. Add.

issued in the lifetime of Roger de Mowbray, is 1188.']

Original Charer, B.M. Add. Charter 26108]

' Ricardo de la Hay', witness to a charter of Robert le Constable
dated before 1208:
" Robertus constabularius de Fleynesburgh et Willelmus filius suus ",
granted a charter to North Ormsby priory of pasture in Holme upon
Spalding Moor for specified numbers of animals and 11 acres of land,
for 10 marks of silver and 44d. yearly, before 1208. Witnesses,
William fitz Peter of Goodmanham, Richard de la Hay [" Willelmo
filio Petri de Gudmundham, Ricardo de la Hay,..."] and others.

land in Spaldington, witnessed by William le Bachelor [" Willelmo
Baceler "] and others. [EYC XII:95, no. 71[1], cites Transcripts
of Gilbertine Charters, p. 66]

Children: Philip
Sir Peter (->1254)


1.1.1 Philip de la Haye
----------------------------------------

probably succeeded his father, but possibly d.v.p. * :
reference made to his land in Spaldington, concerning which Farrer
wrote,
' Another gift of land [to North Ormsby priory] in the territory of
Spaldington was made by Sir Peter de Haya son of Richard de Haya
of Spaldington, mentioning land formerly belonging to Philip de
Haya ' [EYC XII:95[1]]

Bacheler, Philip de la Hay ["" de dono Philippi de la Hay "], and
Osbert [de Spaldington] and
Lecia his wife; and to the men of the priory dwelling in the
tofts of sufficient pasture for their beasts and for 36 pigs free of
pannage in the time of pannage; in accordance with the charter
of William son of Peter, except for the restriction of freedom of
pannage as specified. [ ante 1228 ] "
[EYC XII:95-97, no. 72[1], cites MS. Dodsworth vii,
f. 333v - witnessed by Roger Hay, Philip de la Hay
(" Rogero Hay,..., Philippo de la Hay,..." ) and others.]

~ ' The previous charter in the Dodsworth MS. is the one by which
William son of Peter had given the estovers throughout all his wood
of Spaldington in almost identical terms,....
... there is a warranty clause, and the witnesses are Alan de Wilton,
Richard de la Haye, Oliver de Gunnebi, William son of Adam de Garton,
William Battaile, Robert son of William de Spaldington, and William
Bacheler.... The last date for Peter's confirmation can be taken as
1228,
when Oliver de Gunby was apparently dead. ' [1]

* Note: a charter of his brother Sir Peter was witnessed by
' Philippo de la Hay ' [EYC XII:95-97, no. 72[1]] -
a son of Philip, or of Peter?

Spouse: Agnes le Constable
Father: Robert le Constable of Flamborough (-<1208)
Mother: Eufemia


1.1.2 Sir Peter de la Hay
----------------------------------------
Death: aft 15 May 1254[2]

the same house a toft and croft in Holme on the Wolds. <6> Peter

Spaldington was made by Sir Peter de Haya son of Richard de Haya
of Spaldington, mentioning land formerly belonging to Philip de
Haya ' [EYC XII:95[1]]

" Petrus de la Hay de Spaldington ", confirmed certain grants to
Ellerton priory, before 1228:

a separate case in Rot. Parl. 2 Edw. III:
' See also the interesting case of Peter de la Haye, in 1316 (Calendar
of Close Rolls, 1313-1318, p. 360). The king's interest ws involved
here, because the manor of Streatlam, which Peter sought to recover,
was a member of the seignory of Barnard Castle; and Barnard Castle,
owing to certain particular reasons, was at that time in the king's
hands (see above, $5, and cf. Surtees, Durham, iv. 100-101). '

52s. 6d. for oats bought from them for his use, as appears by bills
of the wardrobe in their possession, and they have besought the
king to order payment thereof to them: the king therefore orders
the treasurer and barons and chamberlains to see the bills aforesaid,
and they are to cause it to be paid to them out of the treasury, or
to cause them to have an assignment thereof. '

concerning Peter de la Hay, Farrer wrote:
' A later Peter de la Hay held land in Spaldington both of the
Mowbray and Mauley fees in 1302-03, as noted above. He was born
not later than 1272, as in the proof of age of John son and heir
of John of York made on 7 March 1331-2 he gave his own age as
sixty years and more, stating that John was born at Spaldington
in the house of Peter del Hay on 25 September 1310 and baptised
at Bubwith on the same day, John son of Peter del Hay lifting
him from the font; and this he knew as he had a daughter Margaret
born at Spaldington on 18 September of the same year. '

Hello All,

a daughter of Sir William Babthorpe of Babthorpe, by whom he left
five daughters and coheirs, who carried the representation of his

From the date of his own will, and the absence of his name in the
present document, he probably had died just before the date of
his father's will. By his will, dated July 1, 1426, in which he
calls himself Thomas del Hay, son of Peter del Hay de Spaldyngton,
he directs his body to be buried in the conventual church of

Also the above John de la Haye should be marked as "Born Before 1304" at
least since in 1310 he "lifted [a baby] from the font" a baptismal font. I have
no idea how old you'd have to be to do this, but at least say .... seven ?

Dear Will,

Actually, the John de la Haye in question ([1.1.2.1.2, the
godfather of John of York) was the son of John, and uncle of
the John (1.1.2.1.1.1, son of Peter who d. 1347 or before) you
mentioned.

For ease (or easier ease) of reference, I have replicated
the (corrected) skeleton pedigree below, and put the reference
numbers from the detailed pedigree in place to illustrate.

If John the godfather, was the "son of John" then why in your quote does it
say "John son of Peter del Hay lifting him from the font;"

John son of Peter lifted him.... not John son of John. Right? or wrong? I'm
quoting what you sent.

Dear Will,

Chronologically, I like my version better, but if you want to be
particular and stick with the document, well,......

' John son of Peter ' [and no. 1.1.2.1.1.1.] it is. Now, whether 1304
or earlier is the best date to use, I am not certain, but this clearly makes
John rather well aged when he wrote his will [23 June 1391]. The only actual
date we have for a sibling of his is for his sister Margaret, stated by their
father Peter as being born at Spaldington on 18 Sept 1310.

Thanks for the catch.

Cheers,

John
