Tibetot▪

[1 Edw. 2.]

THe first mention I have seen of this name, is in 6 Ioh. where, by reasona 1.1 of the forfeiture of Walter de Tibetot,* 1.2 for ad∣hering to the Kings Enemies, his Lands in Lei∣ceste••••••ire, were givenb 1.3 to the Earl of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of whom they were held.

The next is, of Henry de Tibetot,* 1.4 who in 1 H. 3. being inc 1.5 Arms for the King, with Tho∣mas Botterel for their support in his Service, had a Grantd 1.6 of those possessions, lying in the Counties of York, and Lincolne, which did belong to Adam Painel, who took part with the Rebellious Barons of that time. Which Henry departed this life, in 34 H. 3. as it seems; for Robert his Son, then doing his Homage, had Liverye 1.7 of his Lands, and in 50 H. 3. was made Governor* 1.8 of the Castle at Porchester, in com. South. Which Robert,* 1.9 having been a trusty ser∣vant f 1.10 to Prince Edward, for divers years; and attendingg 1.11 him into the Holy-Land, in con∣siderationh 1.12 thereof, in 54 H. 3. obtained a Granti 1.13 from the King, that in case he departed this life before his return; his Executors should have the Wardship and Marriage of his Heir, and in 3 E. 1. was made Governork 1.14 of Notting∣ham-Castle.

In 5 E. 1. he wasl 1.15 one of the Commissioners appointed to make Peace betwixt King Edward, and Lewelin up Griffith Prince of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and in 6 E. 1. procured Licensem 1.16 to hold a Market every week, upon the Wednesday at his Man∣nor of Burwell, in Com. Cantabr. As also to keep a Fair there yearly, to begin on Munday in Whitson-week, and to continue fourteen days after.

Whereupon that Welsh Prince was carried to York, and there suffereda 1.28 death.

Some say,b 1.29 that Rees rebelled, by reason of Injuries done to him by this Robert.

In 22 E. 1. he obtained a Charterc 1.30 for Free-Warren at Braundeford, in Com. Suff. And the same year, beingd 1.31 to attend the King in that Expedition then made into Gascoigne, received Commande 1.32 to repair to him a Ports∣mouth, upon the first of September, well fitted with Horse and Arms for that service; and be∣ing in those parts, was associatedf 1.33 with Iohn de Britannia, Lieutenant of Aquitane, to Treat and Conclude with the King of Castile, upon a firm League of Friendship, betwixt King Ed∣ward and him. About which time Charles, Bro∣ther to the King of France, invadingg 1.34 the Coun∣try, with a great Army, and laying Siegeh 1.35 to Risune, this Robert being too weak to deal with him, fledi 1.36 thence; whereupon it was easily ta∣ken.
