Hello All,

On a related note concerning the de la Haye family of
Spaldington, there has been some erroneous ink spilt on the matter
of Streatlam, co. Durham, and how this came to the Bowes family.
I have noted the following, which (while not yet connected in a
coherent manner) I present in chronological order.

1. Reference to an interest in the manor of Streatlam, in
comparison to a separate case in Rot. Parl. 2 Edw. III:

' See also the interesting case of Peter de la Haye, in 1316
(Calendar of Close Rolls, 1313-1318, p. 360). The king's interest
was involved here, because the manor of Streatlam, which Peter
sought to recover, was a member of the seignory of Barnard
Castle; and Barnard Castle, owing to certain particular reasons,
was at that time in the king's hands (see above, $5, and cf.
Surtees, Durham, iv. 100-101). ' [G. T. Lapsley, The County
Palatine of Durham (1900), p. 214].


2. National Archives, SC 8/14/669
Covering dates [c. 1324]
Scope and content Petitioners: Peter de la Haye.
Addressees: King and council
Places mentioned: Streatlam, [County Durham]; Barnard Castle,
[County Durham]; Yorkshire
Other people mentioned: [Thomas Beauchamp], Earl of Warwick;
John Lesturmy; John [Treynete] son of Thomas Treynete;
Hugh le Despenser the son; Margaret [Lesturmy] daughter
of John Lesturmy.
Nature of request: Haye shows that he was enfeoffed of the
manor of Streatlam. John Lesturmy who had the custody
of John Treynete came and threatened Haye and forced him
by the authority of Hugh le Despenser to give the manor
by his charter jointly to John Treynete, the next heir
of Haye's feoffor, and to Margaret, Lesturmy's daughter
who had married Treynete. Treynete enfeoffed Haye in his
lands in Yorkshire which were not of a third of the
value, and Treynete is now dead and Margaret is tenant.
Haye for his hardship requests remedy.
Endorsement: He should sue in the court of the bishop of
Durham.


3. record dated 21 Dec 1379:

' Grant and quitclaim made before the Corporation of the city of
York, by Peter, son and heir of Thomas de la Haye of Spaldington,
to William de Bowes, of his rights on the manor of Streatlam and
Stainton. ' [Seals missing.] - A2A, Manchester University, John
Rylands Library: Phillips Charters - STAINTON-WITH-STREATLAM
(Co. Durham), PHC/254


Streatlam, evidently a Baliol holding (possibly connected to
Barnard Castle) would have been part of the lands forfeited in 1296
by John Baliol. The nature of the de la Haye holding is uncertain,
but might be revealed by the Close Roll entry cited above.

Should anyone of the list have knowledge concerning the tenure
of Streatlam ca. 1296-1316, or having access to the Close Roll
entry cited above, that information would be most appreciated.

Cheers,

John
