Pennington & Longvillers ancestry of Huddleston of Millom
John P. Ravilious
Dear Leo, Will, et al.,
I noted over the weekend an interesting work by Joseph
Foster, entitled "Pedigree of Sir Josslyn Pennington, Fifth
Baron Muncaster of Muncaster and Ninth Baronet" (1878),
courtesy of our friends at LiveSearch. This has a great deal
of detail concerning the early history of the Penningtons of
Pennington, Muncaster/Mulcastre, etc.
In particular, this provides 14th century evidence as
to the marriage of Sir John de Huddleston of Millom with
Maud, daughter of Sir William de Pennington. More
importantly, the chronology involving the marriage
contract of January 1316/7 makes it certain that Sir William
de Pennington, son of Sir Alan (d. aft 30 Nov 1292) was the
father of Maud. This will enable you (Will) to extend
the Pennington ancestry now shown on your database, and
will also expand that currently on Genealogics for Sir
William de Pennington (#I00485050).
I will send a detailed AT for Maud de Pennington to
the newsgroup, with sources, giving the ancestry traced as
I now have it to Pennington, Longvillers, and Malherbe.
I'm also hopeful that some further evidence concerning the
Pennington holdings in Giffen, co. Ayr (Scotland) will
be forthcoming that will provide firm evidence of some
interesting 12th/13th century ancestry about which we only
have conjectures to date.
Cheers,

John did you say your database can't handle dates like 1318/23 ?
Because we know William was dead by 1323.
Thanks John the new documents help to nail down the chronology much
better.

John,
FWIW Both Ormerod (III:188) and Renaud (116) state that the wife of
Sir Roger Venables of Kinderton (d. abt. 1261) was an Alice Pennington
of Pennington, daughter of Alan de Peninton (Pennington). It would
seem likely she would fit as daughter of Alan #16 if this is correct.
I have not followed up on this with VCH Lancs as yet.
Hap
John P. Ravilious
I quite concur, based on the chronology. I am looking for more
Pennington references, hopefully which can add to what is known of
family members at present and hopefully add additional children,
spouses &c.
With luck, there will be some direct evidence found of the
Venables-Penninton marriage. I will certainly let you know if/when I
should find any.
Cheers,
John

Dear Will,
Thanks for your reply of last week. I hope since then
you've had an enjoyable Thanksgiving....
Unfortunately, you are correct as to the limitations of
my database. Luckily, re: the death date for Sir William de
Pennington (I have "after 1318", and you have "by 1323"),
I have not found an IPM or similar record, but did locate
the finding the the Calendar of Close Rolls showing that
he had died by 28 May 1322. The following orders were
dated at Haywra on that date [I give only the pertinent
'Pennington' parts] concerning the assignment of dower to
Eleanor de Burgh, widow of Thomas de Multon:
' To Master John Walewayn, escheator beyond Trent. Order
to deliver to Eleanor, late the wife of Thomas de Multon
of Egremond, tenant in chief, a third of a knight's fee
in Frankton, co., Lincoln,....
....
To Thomas de Burgh, escheator this side Trent. Order to
deliver to the aforesaid Eleanor the following of her
husband's knights' fees and cornages, which the king has
assigned to her in dower: a sixth of a fee in Mulcastre,
co. Cumberland, which part John de Penyngton holds, and
which is of the yearly value of 10l.; a twelfth of a fee
in Ravenglass, in the same county, which part the said
John holds, and which is of the yearly value of 40s.; a
sixth of a fee in Punchonby, in the same county, which
part Alexander de Punchonby holds,......; 18d. of such
rent that John de Penyngton renders yearly for land in
Braystanes, in the same county, of the yearly value
of 12s. ' [CCR 15 Edw II, pp. 454-5, mem. 8]
Given that John de Penyngton [Pennington] had succeeded
to the lands (Mulcastre, Ravenglass) held of Thomas de Multon
prior to 28 May 1322, that date appears to be the terminus
ante quem (for the moment) for the death of Sir Willliam de
Pennington.
Cheers,
John

Would it be odd to address John in this way, knowing that he is still
a minor ?
Will
John P. Ravilious
John de Pennington (or Penyngton) was being described in the
order, not directly addressed. Whether he was a minor or not, whether
he was in wardship or not, he was still the lord of the manor (or
rather the moiety thereof).
Cheers,
John
Tim Cartmell
There has been some speculation regarding this John de Pennington as marrying Joan de Multon of Egremont. I posed the question to SGM back in 2004, see attached weblink.
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/gen-medieval/2004-07/1088869978
Have you discovered anything further that may indicate a marriage connection between the Pennington and Multon families?
Thanks,
Timothy J. Cartmell
