Hello All,

In a past thread, I conjectured that Maud, 1st wife of Sir
John d'Eiville (d. bef Oct 1291) was a daughter of Roger de
Mowbray (d. 1266), likely by his first wife Maud de
Beauchamp [1]. An additional piece of evidence which may bear
on this conjecture was noted in Fasti Eboracenses, in which
Dixon stated that

' On 25th October 1312, an oratory was allowed to dame
Matilda de Eyvill in the manor of Galmeton for three years
(Reg. Greenfield). ' [2]

'Galmeton' was an old rendering of Ganton, co. Yorks.
Emma de Gant, wife of Alan de Percy and ggg grandmother of
Sir John d'Eiville, was recorded by Farrer as having 'received
Wold Newton with land in Ganton and Staxton as her marriage
dowry.' [3] This may well be the source of the tenure of
lands by 'dame Matilda de Eyvill' in 1312; at the same time,
it is possible these were her own lands, coming through her
conjectured Mowbray descent - if a daughter of Roger de
Mowbray, she was a ggg granddaughter of Walter de Gant, the
brother of Emma de Gant.

I should also note that Maud (or Matilda), first wife
of Sir John d'Eiville, is usually assumed to have predeceased
him as there is record of Alice (presumably Sir John's second
wife, and widow) who had dower (or claim for same) in Thornton
and Deighton, Oct 1296 [4]. The possibility that Maud was
the wife of another D'eiville exists; also, given Sir John's
checkered history, the possibility exists of a separation
of Maud from Sir John, and his subsequent marriage to Alice.
This particular question deserves separate study.

Should anyone have further information concerning the
tenure of Galmeton (i.e. Ganton), that would be greatly
appreciated.

Cheers,

John *
