Even earlier Brenchleys - part 1

Legg inn av Ye Old One » 14 jun 2006 15:01:18

I've been digging and now have at least two Brenchleys from an even
earlier generation - one with roots in the 13th century.

I'll post what I have on the first now and finish off transcribing the
other individual as soon as I can.

There is also a mention on the British History Online site:-

Centre for Metropolitan History
Calendar of the plea and memoranda rolls of the city of London: vol 1
Pages: 37-65
Citation: 'Roll A 1b: (ii) Nov 1327 - July 1328', Calendar of the plea
and memoranda rolls of the city of London: volume 1: 1323-1364 (1926),
pp. 37-65. URL:
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report ... Brenchesle.
Date accessed: 14 June 2006.

There we find:-

18 Feb. 1328

Letter from the Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs and Commonalty to Stephen
(de Gravesend), Bishop of London, praying a remission of the penance
imposed by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's on Anketin de Gisors and
Henry and Richard his brothers, Francis Beaufleur and John de Hynton,
for having desecrated the Church of St Paul's (fn. 30) . Dated 18 Feb.
(F)

So, we scroll down to footnote 30 and find the interesting bit:-

According to the Chron. of Edw. I and Edw. II, pp. 340-1, there was a
contest between Master R. de Brenchesle and an alien for the Prebendal
Stall of " Brondesburi" at St Paul's, vacant by the death of G. de
Stone, which Stall the Bishop had given to Brenchesle, and on 24 Jan.
1328, a Gascon called I. de Puiz, with Anketin de Gisors, Alderman,
Henry his brother and others, dragged Brenchesle's vicar, T. de St
Albans, from the Stall and maltreated him; for which scandal Gisors
and his accomplices were excommunicated. We learn from the marginal
note on membr. 18 (21) of this Roll, that the alien ecclesiastic
favoured by Gisors was the Pope's nominee, Gerald de Cantalauza. The
account given by the Chronicle does not correspond with that of the
Cathedral Records, which show that Cantalauza held the Stall of
Brondesbury, until Brenchesle was preferred to it on 28 Dec. 1327, and
that on 24 Jan. 1328 (the day of the fracas) Cantalauza was preferred
to the Stall of Brownswood, vacant by the death of Geoffrey de Eyton.
Newcourt's Repertorium, i, pp. 117, 120. On the facts, it would appear
as though Cantalauza's friends attempted by force to secure for him
the Stall of Brondesbury as against the Bishop's nominee, and though
they failed, the Cathedral authorities thought it best to console him
with another Stall, which they did the same day.

That is all I've found on him so far. Can anyone dig up anything else?

Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300-1541, vol. 1 Lincoln Diocese, under
Archdeaconry of Huntingdon (on the British History Online website) says
he was dead by 4 July 1337.

He's also mentioned in vol. 5 St Pauls, under the Prebendaries of
Broomesbury and Consumpta-per-Mare (under the latter he is said to have
been dead by 22 Jan. 1337).
