Revisit: Ivo de Vipont's wife

Legg inn av Gjest » 03 sep 2007 23:29:00

All,

First, let me say that I do not have a certain date for the birth of Ivo de Vipont, son of William de Vipont by his second marriage to Maud de Morville, daughter of Hugh de Morville and Beatrice Beauchamp. I must apologize for an error I made in a post on Jan. 24, 2004 stating that he made this charter before 1160. Rather, Ivo de Vipont whom I have numbered “II” was probably born sometime between 1150-60; my best assumption based on other documents.

This Ivo II did have an uncle, Ivo de Vipont “I”, named with another uncle, Fulco in a 1294 inspeximus of charter of William (de Vipont) with consent of Mahald his wife to the friars of St. Peter's Hospital at York.

Ivo de Vipont b. c. 1150-60 married Isabel de Lancaster. According to CWAAS, “Mauld’s Meaburn, the Alston Mines, and a Branch of the Veteriponts,” Ivo II made a charter: “for safety of my soul and for the souls of Hugh de Morvill and William de Veteriponte my father and Matilda de Veteriponte my mother and Robert my brother and Isabel de Lancestre my wife and all my ancestors.” Although we have this identification of Ivo’s wife as Isabel de Lancaster, it has been difficult to find corroborating evidence. In fact, in 1226 following the death of Isabel, Ivo II was seised of lands in Blencarn, Amsliplith (?), and Waverton (Amsliplith, and Wavertonin), in right of his wife, Isabella dec'd.: Harrison’s History of Yorkshire.

If Isabel was a Lancaster in what manner had she held some part of these properties? 'Early Yorkshire Families' describes the descent of the Thoresby and Staveley families from Gospatric son of Archil Gospatric held of count Alan a carucate in Thoresby, in Carperby, Par. Aysgarth, and a manor in Askrigg, par. Aysgarth, formerly held by Archil.

Publications of the Thoresby Society illustrate a descent from Gospatric, who held Thoresby in 1086, and a daughter of Dolfin son of Thorfin showing the Thorsby and Allerston families. “The manor of Blencarn (about nine miles east of Penrith) was anciently a parcel of the barony of Adam Fitz-Swein, and afterwards belonged to his descendants, the Nevills. In the reign of King John, it was in moieties between the families of Thursby and Whitby. The Boyvils afterwards possessed the whole, as heirs to the Thursbys, and sold it to John de Hercla.“ (Parishes Ireby - Kirk-Oswald, Institute of Historical Publication: Magna Britannia: volume 4,published: 1816 Pages: 117-30 Ivo II’s brother, Robert was said to have married Helen of Allerston before he married Idonea de Busli, however, this marriage is also difficult to verify.

Dormant and Extinct Baronage of England, T. C. Banks. on page 113 addresses the Boyvill-Levington connection. “The barony of Levington, in Cumberland was granted temp. the Conqueror, by the earl Ralph de Meschines, to Richard Boyvill, a commander under him and the said Richard and his posterity, from thence assumed the name De Levington..a younger brother Guido Boyvill, married the daughter and heir of Thursby lord of Thursby…Richard was succeeded by a son Adam whose son Ranulph de Boyvill of Levington married Ada daughter and co-heir of Joan de Morvill (with Helewise her sister, wife of Richard de Vernon).”

In 1247 Raf de Levington held the manor of Alston, Cumbria, at “firm” (as Lessee) of Ivo II’s son, Nicholas de Veteriponte. “Richard de Levinton, dying in 1250, was succeeded by his brother Ralf, who had inherited by his marriage with Ada de Morvill a moiety of the Morvill lands, viz. six carucates in Kirkoswald and three carucates in Lazonby worth yearly twenty-four marks. By this marriage he became brother-in-law to Richard de Vernun, husband of Helewise de Morvill, Ada's sister. In 1247 Richard de Vernun and Ralf de Levinton did homage for the Morvill estates lately belonging to Joan de Morvill, mother of Helewise and Ada.” (EXTINCT CUMBERLAND FAMILIES: Fine Rolls, ii. 80, Record Commission ; Inq. p.m. 34 Hen. III. No. 47 ; Originalia, 34 Hen. III. m. 7.,Fine Rolls, ii. 10; Pipe Roll, 31 Hen. III. m. 8 ; Inq. p.m. 31 Hen. III. No. 32,Feet of Fines, 30 Hen. III. (Cumberland), No. 48.,Fine Rolls, ii. 176.

In 1211-12, Juliana the widow of Adam de Ireby claimed dower in Ainstable and Blencarn from William de Thoresby. “Annus Duodecimus. CCCCXLIII. Notingeham die Ascensionis (May 27, 1210), coram ipso domino Rege etc., Inter Julianam Que fuit uxor Adae de Ireby, pet., per Willelmum de Wauerton’ positum loco suo etc., et Robertum de Boyvill’ et Sibilam uxorem suam, ten,de una car.

(Ibid* No. 208) Both these places (the latter now known as Ainstable) are in Cumberland. In Michaelmas term (Sept.29-Oct.13) of the same year, the present plaintiff was plaintiff in another action by the same attorney against William de Thoresby by Henry de Thorsby his attorney, about a carucate of land in Eistapelith, and a carucate and a third of a carucate of land in Blencaru’ (sic) claimed by Juliana, as her share of the holding of Thoresby, son of Pate, her father.” (Fines Tempor Regis Ric. Primi et Regis Johannis, ii 14) Pedes Finium Eor, Regnante Johanne, A. D. MCXCIX-A. D. MCCXIV. William Brown. Gt. Britain Ct. of Common Pleas.

Is this Uchtred the cousin of William de Lancaster I?

By 1226-7 Bernard de Thursby was plaintiff in proceedings taken against Ivo de Vipont and Sybil. CWAAS And in, 1227 Ivo, together with his second wife, Sybil, according to CWAAS held land in Blencarn, Ainstable and Waverton [Feet of fines, Cumberland, 11 H. 3] CWAAS. In this same year, Hugh de Vipont was given lands by Bernard de Thoresby. I believe Hugh to be a possible son of Ivo II who also held lands in Bedfordshire. Was Sybil actually his wife or the Sybil referred to in the above document?

Thank you in advance for observations.
Pat
