1330
The
date of the following extract from the Coucher Book, folio 222, is probably about
1330 :—
The Coucher Book, folio 224, tells how
two men, on Thursday next after the feast of S. Lucy the Virgin, went to
Mulfosse, in Hartoft, and there slew one hind. How
" Thomas de Hamthwaite, Robert de
Bolton, Richard of Helmsley, John de Skipton, Robert Moryng, Abraham Milner,
Stephen Moye, and Peter son of Henry, with others unknown, on Thursday, 7th of
March, 1331, went to a place called Hamclifbek, with two leporariis (gazehounds
or greyhounds), and belonging to John de Kilvington and Robert Spink, and with
bows and arrows, and there slew one soar and one hind and one stag, and were
fined, etc."
In the same folio we have an account of
how " Roger son of Emma, John de Bordesden, Robert Moryng, John son of
William Fabri (Smith) of Farndale, Robert Stybbing, and William Bullock,
about the feast of S. Bartholomew, captured one hind and one calf at Rotemir."
How " Hugh de Yeland and John de Yeland, Thomas Hampthwait, William de
Langwath, Peter son of Henry Young, William de Hovingham, forester of Spaunton,
William Burcy (or Curcy), Robert de Miton, sergeant of Normanby, and six others
unknown, captured at Leasehow, with bows and arrows and hounds, a young
hart," and so on.
(History of the Parish of Lastingham)
It
seems likely that Rotemir is a place around Farndale, but it is possible it is
a reference to Redmire, west of Leyburn.
The Coucher Book also tells of how Thomas
de Hamthwaite, Robert de Bolton, Richard of Helmsley, John de Skipton, Robert
Moryng, Abraham Milner, Stephen Moye, and Peter son of Henry, with others
unknown, on Thursday, 7th of March, 1331, went to a place called Hamclifbek,
with two leporariis (gazehounds or greyhounds), and belonging to John de
Kilvington and Robert Spink, and with bows and arrows, and there slew one soar
and one hind and one stag, and were fined, etc. In the same folio we have an
account of how Roger son of Emma, John de Bordesden, Robert Moryng, John son
of William Fabri (Smith) of Farndale, Robert Stybbing, and William Bullock,
about the feast of S. Bartholomew, captured one hind and one calf at Rotemir
and Hugh de Yeland and John de Yeland, Thomas Hampthwait, William de Langwath,
Peter son of Henry Young, William de Hovingham, forester of Spaunton, William
Burcy (or Curcy), Robert de Miton, sergeant of Normanby, and six others
unknown, captured at Leasehow, with bows and arrows and hounds, a young hart.
