A. Douglas! A. Douglas! (Archibald, that is)

Hello All,

I noted earlier today some references in Assize Rolls for
1256, and also in the Feet of Fines (Northumberland) for the
same year, identifying one Archibald de D[o]uglas, as follow
below [1]:


Assize Roll, Northumberland, 40 Hen. III (1256)

p. 45

' Ricardus Batayl dat xx solidos pro licentia concordandi cum
Archibaldo de Duglas et Alina uxore ejus de placito terrae,
etc.
' Et praedictus Archibaldus dat xx solidos pro eodem, etc.'


p. 67

' Alina, uxor Erchebaud de Dunglas, ponit loco suo ipsum
Erchebaud, virum suum, vel Willelmum de Buredon, versus
Robertum Bataylle, de placito terrae, etc. '


Feet of Fines, Northumberland
dated at Newcastle, 'within three weeks of Easter,
40 Henry III (1256)'

p. 407

' No. 140. Fine made at Newcastle on the same date, and before
the same justices. Between Robert Batayle, plt., and Erchebald
de Duneglas and Alina his wife, tenants, of one messuage, 132
acres of land in Scranenewode, and between the same Robert,
plt., and the aforesaid Erchebald and Alina, whom Alda, who was
the wife of William Batayle, called to warrant and who warrants
her of 66 acres of land in the same vill. The aforesaid Robert
remised to the aforesaid Erchibald and Alina and the heirs of
the same Alina, all right which he had in the aforesaid
messuage and land for ever. For which, the same Erchibald and
Alina gave to the aforesaid Robert 10 pounds sterling. '


It appears most likely from the above that Alina was a
daughter of William de Bataille, and a sister (possibly
half-sister) of Constance, the wife of Sir William de Douglas
(d. aft 1269). I would expect that Archibald was a brother,
or half-brother, of Sir William, and of Sir Andrew de Douglas
of Hermiston. It also appears that William de Bataille was
married to Alda, evidently as a 2nd wife after the death of
Constance de Flamville.

If anyone has found further references to the above 'newly
discovered' individuals, I'd be most interested to hear of
same.

Cheers,

John
