1332

 

William Farnedale of Shyrefhoton’s Will was proved on 13 Mar 1397/8. If he was 65 at the time, then he was born about 1332 (York Wills).

1357

 

The Will refers to Juliana Farndale, his wife. If he was 25 when he married then they married in about 1357.

1358

Richard Farndale, (FAR00044) his son whom he makes his executor and therefore must have been of mature age, and might have been born in about 1358, so he would be aged about 40 when his father died.

 

On 15 Oct 1358, a pardon was given by the Sergeant at Arms to William Attwode for having enfeoffed John de Banaby and William Farndale, chaplains of the Manor of Derleye, held in chief, and then re-entered into the Manor, which they quit-claimed to him without the King’s licence and grant that he shall retain the same fee.’ (Patent Rolls).

 

1359

Helen Farndale, (FAR00045) his daughter, might have been born in about 1359.

 

1361

Agnes Farndale, (FAR00046) his daughter, might have been born in about 1361.

 

1367

 

It might have been William who on something of a rampage, in 1367, with William Blackhouse trespassed, hunted, felled trees, fished, trod down and ate corn and assaulted the servants of the complaining knight, William Latimer. In the forty first regnal year of Edward III, on 8 November 1367, at Westminster, Commission of Oyer and Terminer was ordered to John Mourbray, Thomas de Ingleby … on complaint by William Latymer, knight, that whereas the king lately took him, his men, lands, rents and possessions into his protection while he stayed in the king’s service in the parts of Brittany, Master John de Bolton, clerk, Thomas de Neuton, chaplain, William Rede … William of Farndale … William Blakehose of Farndale … broke his closes at Danby, Leverton, Thornton in Pykerynglith, Symnelyngton, Scampton, Teveryngton and Morhous, Co York, entered his free chace at Danby and his free warren at the remaining places, hunted therein without licence, felled his trees there, fished in his several fishery, took away fish, trees, deer from the chace, hares, conies, pheasants and partridges from the warren departured, trod down and consumed the corn and grass there with certain cattle and assaulted and wounded his men and servants. By K And be it remembered that the said William has granted the king a moiety of all the profit which he shall recover for damages by pretext of the said commission.

 

If that is so he might have lived in Farndale until about this time before he moved south, finding himself first to the south of York, before settling in Sheriff Hutton. However this was more likely to have been a different William of Farndale if we are right that this William had become a chaplain near Harrogate.

 

1370

On 7 May 1370, a pardon was granted to William Farndale of the King’s suite at Caleys for the death of John de Spaldyngton whereof he is indicted of any consequent outlawry. The index states ‘Farndale, William of Calais.’.

 

If William was 38 at the time then this could be this William.

There is the following reference in the Patent Rolls, 7 May 1370, 44 Edward III Part 1, page 393: May 7, Westminster. Pardon to William Farndale of Caleys of the king’s suit for the death of John de Spaldyngton, whereof he is indicted or appealed, and of any consequent outlawry. By p.s. (Calendar of Patent Rolls, 44 Edward III – Part I, page 393).

 

The index refers to Farndale, William of Calais. This is probably a different William Farndale (see also FAR00047A), but it is not certain where Caleys is a reference to.

 

It seems very unlikely that this is a reference to Calais. It was probably some place close to Spaldington, about 20 kilometres southeast of York.
