Command from the King to fit himself with
Horse and Armes, and to give Assistance unto Iohn
Baron of ••ygeton, and Richard le Brun, for de∣fence
of the Counties of Lancaster, Cumb. and
Westmorland against the Incursions of Robert de
Brus (of Scotland) and his Complices. And in
4 E. 2. was again in the Scottish Wars.
Morever, in 8 E. 2. he had command to fit
himself with Horse and Arms, and to be at New∣castle
upon ••ine, on the Feast-day of the Blessed
Virgin, to restrain the Incursions of the Scots. And
in 10 E. 2. entred into Covenants by Indenture,
that Iohn his Son and Heir should take to Wife
Ioane the Daughter to Piers de Gaveston, late Earl
of Cornwall, so soon as they should come of age
to accomplish the Marriage; and that she should
have four hundred Marks per annum Joynture; the
King promising to give her a thousand Pounds to
her Portion. Which sum of a thousand Pounds
was by the King appointed to be paid by Thomas
the Son and Heir of Iohn Wake, in satisfaction of
the Marriage, which the King did tender unto him;
he taking another Woman to Wife, without Li∣cence.
But it seems this intended Match did not take
effect: for certain it is, that the same Iohn, in 14
E. 2. having married Annabel, one of the Daugh∣ters
and Heirs of Laurence de Holbeche, had Livery
of certain Lands in ••horne-Gumband, in Com.
Ebor. which were of her Inheritance.
This last-mention'd Thomas was summon'd to
Parliament, amongst the Barons of this Realm,
from 28 E. 1. till 14 E. 2. inclusive; and departed
this Life in 15 E. 2. being then seised of the
Mannor of Multon, in Com. Linc. with the third
part of the Mannor of Flete; as also of the
Advowson of the Hospital of St. Iohn near Bo∣ston
(of the Foundation of one of his Ancestors)
and endowed with certain Lands in Skyrbec and
Flete, for the maintenance of three Priests therein;
and one in Flete, to celebrate Divine Service for
the Health of the Founder's Soul, and for the
Souls of all the Faithful deceased: Likewise to
sustain twenty poor People, in the Infirmatorie
there; and to relieve forty poor People more, at
the Gate of that Hospital, every day after Dinner,
with the same Food wherewith the other forty
were to be fed.
Whereupon the Castle of Egremont, with all his
Lands, were committed to the Custody of Robert
de Leyburne; Alianore his Widow having for her
Dowrie an Assignation of the Capital-Mess••age
of the Mannor of Egremond; viz. the Castle,
with a multitude of Lands to the said Mannor and
Castle belonging. Likewise of the third part of
the Free-chase of Coupland; and the third part of
the Lakes of Eynes ..., Wasce-water, Burmes∣water
and of the Pool near to that Castle. Like∣wise
of the third part of the Mannors of ••hirnby,
and Holgill, and Fishing in the Water of Ey ...
towards the Sea, called Eyngarth; with the Rents
and Services of divers Free-holders. Moreover,
of the third part of the Market of Egremond,
with the Fairs of Egremond, and Rabenglas; and
of the third part of Wreck, and Wayf, and all other
Profits of Royalties within that Mannor.
To whom succeeded ••••hn de Multon (before-specified)
his Son and Heir; who, not then of full
age, viz. in 3 E. 3. doing his Homage, had Li∣very
of his Lands.
Which Iohn having been summon'd to Parlia∣ment,
amongst other the Barons of this Realm, in
6 and 8 E. 3. died without Issue 23 Nov. 8 E. 3.
being then seised of the Mannor ••hurstane∣ston,
in Com. Suff. and twelve Pound Rent in Skyr∣bec,
in Com. Linc. Likewise of the Mannors of
Beusola••, Flete, and Multon, in the same County
of Linc. and of the Mannors of Egremont, and Co∣kermouth
in Com. Cumbr. All which being short∣ly
after shared betwixt his three Sisters and Heirs,
viz. Ioane the Wife of Robert Fitz-Walter, Eli∣zabeth
the wife of Walter de Bermicham, and
the Wife of Thomas de Lucie; Ioane had
for her Purpartie, the Castle of Egremond, with
the third part of that Mannor, with the third part
of the Mannors of Beausola; and Flete. Eliza∣beth,
, certain Lands in Gosford, parcel of the
Mannor of Egremont; with the third part of all
the Lands in Ullayk, and Scal••gyll, in Derwent∣fell;
as also the third part of the Mannors of
Beausolaz and Flete before-specified: And Mar∣garet
the Wife of Thomas de Lucie, certain Lands
in Dis••yngton, in Com. Cumbr. parcel of the Man∣nor
of Egremont; as also the third part of all
the Lands in Ullayk, and Scalgill, in Derewent∣fell;
with the third part of those Lordships of
Beusolaz and Flete, in Com Linc. Alice, his Wife,
then surviving, who had for her Dowry an Assig∣nation
of the Mannor of Multon, in Com. Linc.
with certain other Lands in that County; as also
the Mannor of ••hurstaneston, in Com. Suff. with
xix s. x d. yearly Rent out of the Mannor of Kyr∣ke••on,
in Holand.
¶I come lastly to Alan. de Multon, Brother to
the before-specified Lambert de Multon, who marri∣ed
Alice the other D••ughter and Coheir to Richard
de Lucie. Of whom I find, that he, with the said
Alice his Wife, made partition with William de
Fortibus Earl of Albemarle (Son to William Earl
of Albemarle) of the Forests of Alredale, Coker∣muth,
and Caldebek, by Metes and Bounds, which
Forests were formerly common to that Earl. And
that to him succeeded Thomas his Son and Heir,
who took to Wife Isabell the eldest Daughter to
Adam de Bolteby, and had with her in Marriage,
by the gift of her Father, the Mannor of Langale,
in Com. Cumbr, as also the Mannors of Heydon,
and Alrewas, setled on them, and the Heirs of
their Bodies.
But of this Thomas, forasmuch as he assumed
the Sir-name of Lucie, by reason that Alice his
Mother was one of the Daughters and Coheirs to
Richard de Lucie (as is already observed) I shall say
no more of him, under this Name of Multon; re∣ferring
my Reader to the Title of Lucie of Coker∣mouth,
where I have farther spoken of him, and his
Descendants.
