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.

 

Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng [Pickering], held at Pickering before Richard de Wylughby [Willoughby], Robert de Hungerford and John de Hambury, justices itinerant on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest in Yorkshire: … Richard Moryn of Rossedale [Rosedale] on the behalf of the abbot of St Mary, William Trotan of Spaunton, Roger del Mulne of Farndale, Robert, son of Peter of the same, Walter Blakhous of the same, and Ralph de Heued of the same: On Monday next after the feast of the Epiphany, they 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. They have not now come, etc. Therefore the sheriff is ordered to cause them to come … Roger son of Emma, John de Bordesden, Robert Moryng, John, son of William the Smith of Farndale, Robert Stybbyng, and William Bullok: Around the feast of St Botolph 10 Edw [III], they came in the forest in a place called Rotemir [Rutmoor], and took there one deer and one calf, and carried away that game …. Roger Sturdy, Thomas de Hippeswell, Robert, son of Simon de Farndale, John le Caluehird and Peter son of Henry: On Thursday next before Michaelmas 6 Edw III, they came in the said forest in a place called Flaskes and there hunted one stag and took it away with them. They have not now come, nor were they previosuly attached, but it is witnessed that they are living in the country. Therefore the sheriff is ordered to make them come … Richard, son of John the miller of Farndale, and Adam, son of Simon the miller of Farndale: After they trespassed about hunting in this forest, Richard and Adam were sent away by the mainprise of Nicholas de Repynghale [Rippingale], Adam, son of Nicholas de Farndale, Nicholas Laverok, John, son of John the miller, Nicholas de Brakenthwayt [Brackenthwaite[, Alan de Wraghby [Wragby] and John Wraghby of Farndale, who mainperned to have them on the first day of the eyre, and they so not now have them, etc … John, son of Richard de Westgille of Farndale: John was sent away by the mainprise of William le Smyth of Farndale, Richard de Westgill, John le Shephird of Farndale, John Alberd of the same, Nicholas, son of Walter of the same, John del Heued of the same, and Robert de Westgill, who mainperned to have him on the first day of the eyre, and they do not now have him, etc. Robert, son of Richard de Westgill of Farndale: Robert was sent away by the mainprise of William le Smyth of Farndale, John, son of Walter of the same, John Alberd of the same, and Nicholas, son of Walter of the same, who mainperned to have him on the first day of the eyre, and they do not now have him, etc … John son of Abba: John was sent away by the mainprise of Roger, son of Alfred de Farndale, Roger, son of Gilbert of the same, Richard de Beverle [Beverley] of the same, William Kyng of the same, John de Hoton of the same, Thomas Makand, Hugh the clerk of Cropton, William de Birkheued of Hartoft, Henry del Tung, Peter son of Gervase, Hugh Broun [Brown], smith, and William Hare, who mainperned to have him on the first day of the eyre, and they do not now have him, etc.

 

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.
