I didn't come up with anything with google or an online dictionary. Perhaps it's the spelling. Also as this is a book of charters to the abbey, would this be a grant of the income from a coterel that the donor owns or is this rental that he is paying for a coterel that the abbey owns? Whatever a coterel is. Thanks.

    3. But not only do you have to ignore the ages in the IPMs of his nieces Elizabeth and Eleanor in 1376: "aged 24 years and more" and "aged 30 years and more" His age is given as "aged 50 and more" in the IPM of Gerard Braybroke in 1403. I don't see how you can argue that he is the Nicholas Wodhull, executor of his brother John in 1348, who had to of been born by 1327.

He would be almost 20 years older than the closest IPM estimate of 1346, or before. If he were somehow an executor as a minor, he'd still need to be born by 1336, when the father dies, making the closest estimate still a decade off. The first question, I guess, would be ... how accurate we should expect IPM birth estimates for heirs, to be? If there's no surprise if they aren't accurate, then there's no real problem.

    1. Re: A Wodhull Problem
    2. Specifically, Hansen cites a single pedigree, created some 100 years after the fact, used in a few legal battles amongst the same group of individuals, legal battles which have been included in the Tropenell Cartulary. For the time period you'd actually expect to find Thomas, the cartulary entries have no sign of him. Those entries have the same individuals found in the IPMs. If you follow all the primary records (ignoring IPM birth estimates), you seem to end up with a Nicholas that looks like this ... Born (bef 1328) Age 21+: Executor to his brother's will (1349, assuming adult by this time) Age 38+: Marries Margaret Foxcrote (1366, and they receive her inheritance) Age 48+: Inherits from his nieces (1376) Age 52+: Sheriff of Wiltshire (1380) Age 55+: No longer sheriff of Wiltshire (1383) Age 82+: Dies (1410) ... an individual who seems to live quite long, but a possible timeline, if we ignore the IPM birth estimates.

    1. A Wodhull Problem
    2. Joe
    3. Jason Clark and I are trying to work out a little problem with this Wodhull line. It would seem straight forward tracing IPMs. John Wodhull - died 1296, son and heir Thomas 23 yo https://archive.org/stream/cu31924011387812#page/n263/mode/2up Thomas Wodhull (1272-1304) – died 1304, son and heir John 1 year 17 weeks old https://archive.org/stream/cu31924011387820#page/n185/mode/2up John Wodhull (1302-1336) - died 1336, son and heir John 16 yo https://archive.org/stream/cu31924011387861#page/n63/mode/2up John Wodhull (c1320-1348) – died 1348, son and heir John 5 ½ yo https://archive.org/stream/cu31924011387879#page/n139/mode/2up John Wodhull (1342-1367) – Died 1367, 2 daughters and co-heirs Elizabeth 3 yo & Eleanor 2 yo https://archive.org/stream/cu31924011387903#page/n187/mode/2up Here is where the problem comes when. When Elizabeth and Eleanor both die underage in 1376/7, their heir was their great-uncle Nicholas Wodhull. He was called “Nicholas de Wodhull, aged 24 years and more, uncle of John their father.” And “Nicholas de Wodhull, aged 30 years and more, brother of John father of John de Wodhull their father.” The problem is, there is no way the brother of their grandfather was born c1352 when his supposed father died in 1336. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol14/pp277-288 Charles Hanson wrote a long article on the Wodhull family (The Genealogist, vol. 7 (1986):28-29.). He solves this problem by saying Nicholas was not a brother of their grandfather, but rather his nephew. He says the grandfather John Wodhull (1320-1348) had a brother Thomas and Nicholas was a son of this Thomas. Thomas Wodhull (1272-1304) | John (1302-1336) | . | ?|? John (1320-1348) Thomas (born about 1322) | | John (1342-1367) Nicholas (born 1352) | Eleanor&Elizabeth d. 1376 As evidence for the existence of this Thomas, Hanson cites the Tropenell Cartulary which includes a suit with testimony giving a long Wodhull descent: Manor of Little Dunsford granted to Thomas Wodhull by Harry Preiers (his father-in-law) Thomas Wodhull His son John Wodhull His son Thomas Wodhull His son John Wodhull d.s.p. His brother Nicholas Wodhull His son Richard Wodhull His brother Thomas Wodhull His son Thomas Wodhull His son John Wodhull (living at the time of the suit in 1471) https://archive.org/stream/tropenellcartul02davigoog#page/n374/mode/2up However this pedigree is clearly flawed: No John Wodhull died without issue, No Wodhull was ever directly succeeded by his brother. The first Thomas Wodhull had a son John, but his son and heir was John not Thomas. There is no evidence that the second Thomas Wodhull existed at all. There is evidence that the John who died in 1348 had a brother Nicholas, as he was the executor of his will. So, something is wrong in the IPMs of Eleanor and Elizabeth. 1. If their heir was Nicholas, brother of their grandfather, then Nicholas’ age cannot have been 24 years old as stated, and Hanson’s reconstruction is wrong. Could the translated dates from the original IPM be wrong? 2. If Nicholas was age 24 years old in 1376, then he cannot have been the brother of Elizabeth & Eleanor’s grandfather as stated. Could the translated relationship from the original IPM be wrong?

    3. Yes, that's what I've discovered. Everything I've found online and through the archive are just like that. One will say Roger is Lewis' father and the next will say they are brothers. I've even found sources that list the incorrect wife, not Eleanor de Mowbray. It's frustrating, everyone copying everyone else instead of finding some documentation to prove one way or the other.

    2. Correction to first post: The 4 sons of Anschetil Despenser. 1.1 "Hugh, son of Aschetil" in a charter of Richard, Earl of Chester dated to 1119 or before. Although no direct connection to Hugh de Berges to the Despenser family has been found to date, this Hugh does fit as a possible candidate to be the elusive Hugh de Berges who granted land to Garendon Abbey sometime between 1133 and 1154. His wife may possibly be the grand-daughter of Durand Mallet as the land he holds in Burton on Wolds at domesday appears to be the same that Hugh de Berges held of his wife. Hugh married the dau. of William de Quineburg of DD record. He is known to a brother in law of Herbert and Ralph de Quineburg, successive lords of Quineborough and the 1.1.1 Hugh de Berges II, alias Hugh de Prestwold aka: Hugh de Loughborouh , he fls. 1176, He gifted extensive lands and also held land at Bawre, more exactly at "Wet-Berges with part of Barrow". 1.1.2 Anketin de Berges = Dionisia , nepohew of Ralph and Thurstan de Quineborough, and "overlord" of Thomas Dispensator for his land in Burton, which charter in question must have taken place after 1154, as Ralph did not succeed Herbert until after that date. 1.1.1.1 Anketin ( Anketil de Berges)= Rohese. He held the manor of Prestwold, and also held the Advowson of the church, which Anketin, son of Hugh de Prestwold, in or before the year 1228, gave to the prior and convent of the Gilbertine priory of Bullington in the county of Lincoln founded by Simon de Kyme (his conjectured cousin) 1.1.1.1.1 Elias de Prestwold -Lord of the manor of Prestwold. Confirmed the gift of the church of Prestwold to the church of Bullington witnessed by Phillip de Kyme. 1.1.1.1.1.1 William de Berges - Arch. Deacon of Berks. His heir was John Putrell. 1.1.1.1.1.2 Alice = Robert de Putrell 1.1.1.1.1.2.1 John Putrell - heir of William de Berges. 1.2 William, son of Anschetil(found in Lindsey Survey)= marries dau. of Waldin the Ingeniator (Artificer)found as "William brother of Ivo, son of Anschetil" in the Charters of Cecily of the Honor of Skipton.Held Friesthorp, and part of Langton at- Wragby in Lindsey Survey. William is also found as being William of Harewood, Yorks, in the charter. 1.2.1 Simon de Kyme fls. 1160 held "farm of Chester". - died c.1162. 1.3 Geoffrey, Dispensator of Earl Ranulph, 3rd Earl of Chester.

Leicester daughter of James de Somerville." https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!searchin/soc.genealogy.medieval/alice$20lucy$20charron/soc.genealogy.medieval/z64wgKUg6Sw/HpYqniyIdM8J Doug had noted that if Guischard Charron's wife was in fact Alice de Lucy, there would be a Scottish royal line. There's also this snippet from a document showing that Sir Thomas de Lucy had the wardship of Guischard de Charron the younger (and then presumably married him to his own daughter): https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22Receipt+in+French%2C+from+sir+Gwychard+de+Charron+to+sir+Thomas+de+Lucy%2C+of+part+payment+of+the+sum+in+which+sir+%22

    3. Robert Elryngton appears 9 times in Inquisitions Post Mortem between 1419 and 1446. If these are all the same man, and the same person as in Common Pleas in 1448, them he would probably have been born between 1475 and 1495. http://www.inquisitionspostmortem.ac.uk/quick-search/?q=elryngton&rq=elryngton&exact=false

    1. Conjectured line of descent for William de Berges / Prestwold
    2. The following "conjectured" line of descent may be useful to those interested the Leisc. families of Berges and Prestwold which are one and the same. This is intended to show my latest finds and areas of interest as the Berges, Prestwold , Kyme and Despenser families do exhibit some interesting interactions. 1.Anschitillus Despenser of the Burton Charter which states he donated some land at Waterfall, Staffordshire. He is also likely the Anschetil de Castello "of the Castle". alive in 1114, who land at Waterfala, and Church Stretton, Staffordshire. The 4 sons of Anschetil Despenser. 1.1 "Hugh, son of Aschetil" in a charter of Richard, Earl of Chester dated to 1119 or before. Although no direct connection to Hugh de Berges to the Despenser family has been found to date, this Hugh does fit as a possible candidate to be the elusive Hugh de Berges who granted land to Garendon Abbey sometime between 1133 and 1154. His wife may possibly be the grand-daughter of Durand Mallet as the land he holds in Burton on Wolds at domesday appears to be the same that Hugh de Berges held of his wife. Hugh married the dau. of William de Quineburg of DD record. He is known to a brother in law of Herbert and Ralph de Quineburg, successive lords of Quineborough and the "Overlord" of Thomas Dispensator for his land in Burton, which charter must have taken after 1154, as Ralph did not succeed Herbert until after that date. 1.1.1 Anketin de Berges = Dionisia 1.1.2 Hugh de Berges II, alais Hugh de Prestwold aka: Hugh de Loughborouh , he fls. 1176, He held land at Bawre, more exactly at "Wet-Berges with part of Barrow" 1.1.1.1 Anketin ( Anketil de Berges)= Rohese. He held the manor of Prestwold, and also held the Advowson of the church, which Anketin, son of Hugh de Prestwold, in or before the year 1228, gave to the prior and convent of the Gilbertine priory of Bullington in the county of Lincoln founded by Simon de Kyme (his cousin) 1.1.1.1.1 Elias de Prestwold -Lord of the manor of Prestwold. Confirmed the gift of the church of Prestwold to the church of Bullington witnessed by Phillip de Kyme. 1.1.1.1.1.1 William de Berges - Arch. Deacon of Berks. His heir was John Putrell. 1.1.1.1.1.2 Alice = Robert de Putrell 1.1.1.1.1.2.1 John Putrell - heir of William de Berges. 1.2 William, son of Anschetil(found Lindsey Survey)= dau. of Waldin the Ingeniator (Artificer)found as "William brother of Ivo, son of Anschetil" in the Charters of Cecily of the Honor of Skipton.Held Friesthorp, and part of Langton at- Wragby in Lindsey Survey. William is also found as being William of Harewood, Yorks, in the charter. 1.2.1 Simon de Kyme fls. 1160 held "farm of Chester". - died c.1162. 1.3 Geoffrey Dispensator of Earl Ranulph, 3rd Earl of Chester. Gifted the chapel of Bollington, Chester to St. Mary's York. 1.3.1 Thomas Dispensator d.c.1177/8 heir of his brother Elias Dispenser who had been enfeoffed of Anrseby in 1158, Hugh de Beauchamp. 1.4 Ivo de Alspath, Constable of the Honour of Skipton fee and sometimes Constable of Coventry for Earl of Chester. seem in Charters of Cecily. more to follow.....

    2. Hi Peter, your need for more accurate date for Alan de Elsfield is shown in the following book as brother of Richard de Elsfield from which see see when he was appointed the Constable of Bordeaux. In Great Britain. Public Record Office, H. C. Maxwell Lyte (Sir.) Kraus Reprint, 1971 - Great Britain for the years (1321-1324), Alan de Elsfield is shown in the index as appearing on pages, 136,318,and 319, and it is followed by "Richard his brother" who also appears on page 318. that gives you the same time period for both brothers. Source: Richard of Elsfield as Constable of Bordeaux, 1318-20 Esme Pole Stuart and Hilda Johnstone The English Historical Review Vol. 52, No. 205 (Jan., 1937), pp. 23-38 link to an excerpt: copy and paste! https://academic.oup.com/ehr/article-abstract/LII/CCV/23/467434/Richard-of-Elsfield-as-Constable-of-Bordeaux-1318?redirectedFrom=fulltext Richard of Elsfeld, brother of Alan of Elsfeild served as the Constable of Boreaux, Gascony from 1318-1320.

    3. In 1448 in Common Pleas there was a Robert Elryngton, of Elryngton, Northumb, esquire. I think this must be East Elrington, about 25 miles west of Newcastle. Vance > > Elrington: > The ending of the surname (considering for both "ing" and "ton") suggests a place name. The suffix 'ing' (or ling) means being from a place, i.e. Earthling; and ton meaning town.
