Compton Chamberlayn Wiltshire

Legg inn av Gjest » 07 nov 2004 01:31:01

Can anyone please tell me who the family was that was in possession of the
manor of Compton Chamberlayn in Wiltshire in the late thirteenth and early
fourteenth centuries.

I know that circa 1320 the manor was bestowed on two daughters Margaret who
married a Beynton and had a son Nicholas Beynton born in 1346 and Katherine who
married a Bockland and had a daughter Joan who married John Mauduit of
Warminster, co. Wiltshire.

The information is shown in the IPM of Joan Mauduit from 1370:

Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, Vol. XII, Edward III, London, 1938:

#394. Joan late wife of John Mauduyt.
Writ. 13 November, 43 Edward III.
Wiltshire. Inq. taken at Salisbury, 4 December, 43 Edward III.
Compton Chamberlayn. The manor, held of the king in chief by knight's
service, as of the inheritance of Katherine de Boukland, her mother.
She died on 13 October last. Nicholas de Beynton, aged 24 years and more, son
and heir of Margaret de Beynton sister of Katherine aforesaid is her heir.
C. Edw. III. File 211. (19.)
E. Enrollments &c. of Inq. No. 148. (3.)

There is a question as to Joan Bouckland's first name as other documentation
shows it as Juliana:

Calendar of Fine Rolls, Vol. IX, Richard II, 1377-1383, Kraus Reprint 1986:

Page 136:

May 19, 1379. Westminster.
Order to Thomas de Illeston, escheator in the counties of Wiltshire and
Southampton,--pursuant to an inquisition made by him showing that Juliana late wife
of John Mauduyt did not hold any lands in the said counties in her demesne as
of fee but held in chief by knight service in joint feoffment with her said
husband deceased, to wit, to them and heirs of their bodies, the manor of
Wermenstre, a messuage, 2 carucates of land, 20 acres of meadow, 100 acres of wood
and 100s. rent in Westbury, and the advowson of the chapel of that town, by a
fine levied in the court of Edward III, and also held of the king by knight
service, as of the king's manor of Hamstedmarchal, a third part of a moiety of
the manor of Dicherich, co. Wiltshire, in dower after the death of her said
husband, the manor of Cratele, co. Southampton, of the heirs of Humphrey de
Bohun, late earl of Hereford, minors in the king's ward, and that Maud, daughter of
Thomas Mauduyt the son and heir of John and Juliana, whom Henry Grene,
knight, has taken to wife, is next heir of John and Juliana, and of full age -- to
deliver the premises to the said Henry and Maud.

Robert Halstead in his Succinct Genealogies of the family of Mauduit presents
her as Juliana de Bouckland also. So does the VCH Wiltshire for Warminster
[VCH Wiltshire Vol. VII].

Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated.
