1295
Say
Roger was 35 at the time he was outlawed for killing a deer, then he was born
about 1295, the son of Peter of Farndale (FAR00008).
I have a note
of a record that Roger milne (miller) of Farndale,
son of Peter below together with Walter Blackhous and
Ralph Helved, all of Spaunton
on Monday in January 1293, killed a soar and slew a
hart with bows and arrows at some unknown place in the forest. All were
outlawed on 5th April 1293.
If he was say 28 at the time he was outlawed, he might have been born
in about 1265. We know he was the son of Peter de Farndale. Given the later
incidents, I think the date of this incident must be an error and it is likely
the same as the 1330 event.
1330
In 1330,
Richard Mosyn, of that part of Rossedale
which belongs to the Abbot of S. Mary's (i.e. Rosedale West), William Troten of Spaunton, Roger del Mulne of Farndale, Robert son of Peter of Rossedale, Walter Blackhous of
Farndale, went on a Monday in January to some unknown place within the forest
and killed a soar and slew a hart with bows and
arrows. All are outlawed. If we are right about his age, he was about sixty five by then.
A hart is a
male deer and a soar is a sow or pig.
1334
In 1334 Roger
del Mulne of Farndale, together with Robert, son of
Peter of Farndale, Walter Blakhous of Farndale, and
Ralph de Heued of Farndale on Monday after the feast
of the Epiphany, came in the forest in an unknown place with bows and arrows
and killed one four-year-old buck and hunted one stag and carried away with
them the game and thereupon did their will.

1335
At a hearing
at Pickering on Monday 13 Mar 1335 before Richard de Willoughby and John de Hambury, the Sheriff was ordered to summon those named to
appear this day before the Justices to satisfy the Earl for their fines for
poaching in the forest of which they were convicted before the Justices by the
evidence of the foresters, venderers and other
officers. They did not appear and the Sheriff stated
that they could not be found and are not in his bailiwick and he had no way of
attacking them. He was therefore ordered to seize them and keep them safely so
that he could produce them before the Justices on Monday 15 Mar 1335. A long
list of names follows including……Robert filium
Simonis de Farndale, Rogerum de milne
de Farndale, Robertum, filium
Petri de Farndale. He would have been an old man by then.
In 1335, on
the Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng,
held at Pickering before the Richard de Wylughby and
John de Hambury, justices itinerant on this occasion
assigned to take pleas of the said forest in Yorkshire a very long list of
names included Robert, son of Simon de Farnedale, Roger
del Milne of Farnedale, Robert, son of Peter de
Farndale, Walter Blachose, regarding whom the sheriff
was ordered to cause the aforesaid people to come before the justices here on
this day to make satisfaction to the earl about their redemption for trespasses
of hunting made in this forest, whereof they are convicted before the said
justices by the foresters, verderers and other ministers. And they have not
come.
1337
In 1337 on
Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng,
held at Pickering before the said Richard de Wylughby
[Willoughby] and John de Hambury, justices itinerant
on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest in Yorkshire another
long list of names was presented including Robert, son of Simon de Farnedale, Roger del Milne of Farnedale,
Robert, son of Peter de Farndale, Walter Blachose,
Ralph del Heued, and William de Ergom
[Argam], chaplain, regarding whom the sheriff is ordered to cause the aforesaid
people to come before the justices here on this day to make satisfaction to the
earl about their redemption for trespasses of hunting made in this forest,
whereof they are convicted before the said justices by the foresters, verderers
and other ministers. And they have not come.
1338
In 1338 on
the Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng,
held at Pickering before the said Richard de Wylughby
[Willoughby] and John de Hambury, justices itinerant
on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest in Yorkshire,
another long list of names included Robert, son of Simon de Farnedale
[Farndale], Roger del Milne of Farnedale
[Farndale], Robert, son of Peter de Farndale, Walter Blachose,
Ralph del Heued, and William de Ergom
[Argam], chaplain, regarding whom once again the sheriff is ordered to cause
the aforesaid people to be exacted from county to county, until, etc, they are
outlawed, if they do appear. And if they do appear, he is then to take them, in
such a way that he has their bodies here at this day to make satisfaction to
the earl about their redemption for trespasses of hunting whereof they are
convicted before the said justices by the foresters, verderers and other
ministers.
Clearly
efforts were made to apprehend Robert, son of Simon of Farndale, Roger the
miller of Farndale, Robert son of Peter of Farndale, Walter Blackhaus,
Ralph Heved and apparently even the chaplain in 1335
and 1337 and in 1338 they were outlawed with orders that they be apprehended
and brought before the forest officers if found.
1366
William Blackhous was involved in another incident in 1366
involving Roger milne of Farndale. I need to find
this record again as it may be an error.
1370
If the 1366
incident is not an error, he is unlikely to have lived much beyond 1370 given
his age.
