In 1311 there is a somewhat unexpected, geographically remote, reference to a John Revel that does not necessarily relate to this individual. This John Revel is recorded as holding briefly the estates at Newport, Essex, confiscated from Piers de Gaveston, and restored to him in 1312. 5 In 1316 the Feet of Fines records that William Revell had made over to John Revell in tail, with contingent remainder to his brother Robert Revell, his estate at Fenny Newbold, ‘consisting of 16 messuages, 11 virgates of land, with woodland, meadow, pasture, and a mill in Newbold, Easenhall, Stretton and Pailton’. 6 At some uncertain date during the reign of Edward II, i.e.1307–1327, and probably ca 1316 (see above), there is a record of a grant, as follows: ‘Grant by William Revel of Fenni Neubold, to Robert Revel his son, in tail, of his manor of Bukkeby, with all his lands &c. in Bukkeby, with remainder to John Revel, Robert's brother, and reversion to the grantor’. 7 On June 3 rd 1319 he and his brother are the subject of an ‘oyer and terminer’, as follows: 8 ‘Commission of oyer and terminer to William de Beresford, John Chaynel and John de Langeleye on complaint of Thomas Boyclyn of Stretton that he was assaulted at Bylneye, co. Warwick by John Ryvel of Fenny-Neubold and Robert Ryvel of Buckeby’. On August 4 th 1322 John Revel is recorded in the Patent Rolls as being given protection for accompanying the earl of Arundel going to Scotland on the king’s service. 9 His service to the county is summarised by Peter R. Coss, 10 including his appointment as a Knight of Warwickshire in 1337. Further details of some of these duties are given below. John Revel is again the subject of an ‘oyer and terminer’ on May 18 th 1324 following an assault on the Prior of St Guthlac at 11 12 Ross (Herefordshire), according to a footnote in the Register of Adam de Orleton as follows, and in the Patent Rolls: ‘A commission of oyer and terminer is issued, on May 18, 1324, to John le Botiller of Lanultit, Robert de Aston, and Adam Holnaked, the King's justices, to try the following: — William de Masinton, John Revel. Thomas de Wychyndon, Chaplain, Walter le Pevre of Ros, John le Fevre of Hereford. Thomas le Kew of la Lee, Walter Karles. William de Braynton. Master Thomas de Orleton, Master John de Orleton, and Thomas dc Gynes’. The Charter Rolls record that John son of William Revell received a grant of ‘free warren’ at Newbold Revell in 1327, exactly as his father had in 1299, 13 suggesting that his father was dead by that date. At some uncertain date in the period 1324 to 1340 John Revel is recorded as making a plea, as follows: 14 ‘John Revel complains that Robert de Ernesforde and his sons Robert, Richard, Simon and John, convicted of trespass at his suit, have been released on mainprise by the Marshal, although mainprise should not be allowed in such a case, delaying the King from his redemptions, and John from his damages. He requests compensation for this, and that they should not be released on mainprise again’. Endorsement: He is to complain before the King's justices when the court is open. On October 6 th 1325 he is recorded as making a gift: 15 ‘Gift from Sir John Revel to Sir John ?Wreet of lands and tenements in Essenhull' and Prensthorpe [Princethorpe]. Witnesses: Sir Robert Vardon', knight, Sir John ---, knight, --- de Astlegh, Guy ?Wredon', Robert Randolf and others’. In the IPM for John de Hastanges, dated 1325, John Revel is recorded as holding a half fee at Brownsover, 16 and according to the Victoria County History is recorded in the 1327 subsidy list for ‘Newbolde and Strettone’. 17 5 Essex : highways, byways and waterways : second series page 2 http://archive.org/stream/highwaysessex00barrrich#page/2/mode/2up 6 BHOL Feet of Fines http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=57122 7 A4787 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64326 8 Patent Rolls http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/e2v3/body/Edward2vol3page0370.pdf 9 Patent Rolls page 199 http://archive.org/stream/calendarofpaten04grea#page/198/mode/2up 10 ‘The Origins of the English Gentry’, page 285 By Peter R.

On July 12 th 1331, ‘John Ryvel, dominus et miles’ is a witness to a gift in fee simple referring to land at Cliffe [Clyve], near Kingsbury, in Warwickshire. 18 On June 20 th 1333 The Close Rolls record his appointment as a collector of customs for Warwickshire, 19 and on October 12 th 1333 the Patent Rolls commission him to an ‘oyer and terminer’, as follows: 20 ‘The like to John de Stonore, John Ryvel, and John de Peyto the elder, on complaint by John de Pulteneye that Master Thomas Broun, Roger and Andrew his brothers, Adam de Napton, Walter Assheby of Lobbenbam, Roger Togh find others carried away his goods and assaulted his servants at Mynsterton, co. Leicester. By p.s. The like, touching an assault by these persons upon Thomas de Pulteneye at the same place’. There is a similar commission dated August 15 th 1344, as follows: ‘Commission of oyer and terminer to Thomas de Bello Campo, earl of Warwick, Ralph, baron of Stafford, Peter de Monte Forti, Richard de Whytacre, John Ryvel, John de Peyto le fitz' and John de Lee, touching the armed disturbers of the peace who lately in large numbers entered the manor of the abbot of Evesham of Wythele, co. Warwick, killed many of his men there, mutilated some and atrociously wounded others, and carried away his goods, and who still maintain themselves by force in the manor, consuming the crops and other profits thereof from day to day, and perpetrate many other misdeeds in contempt of the king and to the most grievous damage of the abbot, whereat the king is very greatly moved and not without reason’. However, on July 16 th 1334 the Patent Rolls record ‘Exemption, for life, of John Ryvel from being put on assizes, juries or recognisances, and from appointment as mayor, sheriff, escheator, coroner or other bailiff or minister of the king, against his will. By p.s.’, 21 and yet on August 22 nd 1337 a John Ryvel, knight, is recorded in the Close Rolls as a witness to a grant signed in Westminster, 22 and on July 20 th 1344 the Patent Rolls list ‘John Ryvel, knight’, 23 with reference to a ‘Commission of the peace, pursuant to the statutes of Winchester and Northampton’. It is possible that the later commissions refer to his son of the same name. Dugdale comments that John Ryvel [the elder] was relieved of some further duties in 1338 / 9, some of which passed to a William Ryvel, presumably his son. 24 The Gascon Rolls record that a John Ryvel, John Trymenel , Richard de Whitacre and Richard de Pecche are responsible in the period February to April 1338 / 9 for raising a substantial number of archers some of whom are to be led to Norwich. 25 On April 8 th 1340 the Close Rolls record ‘John Ryvel, knight, admits indebtedness to Richard de Lambhethe and William de Lambhethe, citizens and fishmongers of London, to be levied co Warwick’, and this indebtedness is recorded as ‘Cancelled on payment’. 26 The exact nature of the indebtedness is not stated but might be connected to the London property that his son John Revell refers to in his will, see below. According to BHOL Richard de Lambhethe married Christina de Hackeneye and her father Richard de Hackeneye is godfather to their son William de Lambhethe. Richard de Hackeneye died in 1342 and was buried at St Mary atte Hill, London, 27 a location associated with the Revells, from at least 1431, 28 see Part 3. BHOL records that in 1341 John Daysie of Street Ashton gave a mill in Pailton (one mile east of Newbold Revell) to Sir John Revel, 29 and in 1344 ‘William, son of Sir Robert de Thorp, …… received licence to alienate the manor of Brinklow in mortmain to the Abbot and convent of Combe, the yearly value being stated as 66s. 8d., (fn. 29) less a water-mill and pond in the tenancy of Sir John Ryvel, Elizabeth his wife, and John[Ryvel] his son, of which the remainder was to the abbey on Sir John's death. (fn. 30)’. 30 Sir John Rynel is recorded as a witness on July 5 th 1343 to a gift made by ‘William de Clynton, earl of Huntingdon’, 31 and to a grant by ‘Alice, late the wife of Giles de Asteleye’ in January 1345 / 6, 32 but is dead by 1347 as follows from a deed dated April 6 th that year: 17 Victoria History of the County of Warwick page 336 http://archive.org/stream/victoriahistoryo00doubuoft#page/336/mode/2up 18 Mi D 3970/2 http://msscat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=% 28%28text%29%3D%27ryvel%27%29 19 Calendar of the Close Rolls page 61. http://www.archive.org/stream/calendarclosero03offigoog#page/n858/mode/1up 20 Patent Rolls page 502 http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/e3v2/body/Edward3vol2page0502.pdf 21 Patent Rolls page 564 http://www.archive.org/stream/calendarpatentr17offigoog#page/n577/mode/2up 22 Calendar of the Close Rolls page 245 http://archive.org/stream/cu31924091767883#page/n255/mode/2up 23 Patent Rolls pages 393– 396 http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/e3v6/body/Edward3vol6page0396.pdf 24 The Antiquities of Warwickshire page 143 by Dugdale http://www.archive.org/stream/antiquitiesofwar00dugd#page/142/mode/2up 25 Gascon Rolls http://www.gasconrolls.org/search/?kw=ryvell 26 Calendar of the Close Rolls http://www.archive.org/stream/calendarclosero04offigoog#page/n475/mode/1up 27 Calendar of Wills http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66879 28 ‘The medieval records of a London City church’ http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=65690 29 A History of the County of Warwick Volume 6 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=57122 30 A History of the County of Warwick Volume 6 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=57093 31 D1086/T103/2 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=040-d1086&cid=-1&Gsm=2008-06-18#-1 32 A. 12138. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64444&strquery=ryvel 25/06/2012 3 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
