In the 1398 Fine Rolls Geoffrey d’Edmescote is recorded as a tax collector for Warwick, 207 and a writ dated January 30 th 1401 / 2 describes ‘Geoffrey, lord of Emscote’ as a debtor of John Cooke of Lilbourne, Northamptonshire, and John Bukmore of Lackworth. 208 An ‘Ancient Deed’ dated December 12 th 1402, as follows, establishes that Joan Revell has been widowed: ‘Northampton A 9851. Counterpart of demise for nine years from Michaelmas last at 8 marks rent, by Joan late the wife of Geoffrey Reynald of Buckeby, widow, to John Bryce, John Smith, John Clyfton, and John Reynald of Buckeby, of the site of her manor in Buckeby , formerly William Ryvell’s, with the demesne lands, &c except the hall, chambers and kitchen, with the ‘shepons’ and a ‘bay’ at the end of ‘le hayhuse’ next the hall for a stable, and except a close called ‘Lady Yard’ and a grove called ‘Armeley’ and the garden of the manor with a close between the hall and ‘le shephous’ and except the rents of tenants, free and bond, the land called ‘Bordlond,’ with ‘les frisses’ on Roulehille, court, fines, etc. Buckeby, 12 December, 8 Henry IV. Seals’. 209 The identity of ‘John Reynald of Buckeby’ is uncertain, but possibly a son, brother or brother-in-law. That Joan Revell had a son Richard Revell is defined in a document dated 1408 as follows: 210 ‘A. 6614. Confirmation by Richard son and heir of Joan, daughter of William Ryvell, of a grant by Richard Southard and John Happesford, of Coventre, merchants, Thomas Ryvell of Edmescote, and John Everdon of Coventre, 'hosyer,' to William Attilburgh of Coventre, for his life, of the manor of Buckeby, the reversion of which, in fee, belongs to the said Richard son of Joan. 28 May, 9 Henry IV. Seal, broken’. Joan de Edmunscote née Revell married secondly William Attilburgh of Coventry (a hosier) at some date between 1402 and 1411. William Attilburgh was Coroner in 1395 / 6 and Mayor of Coventry in 1406 and 1407. 211 An article in ‘The Ancestor’ records: 212 ‘An agreement of 1420 is found both in French (A. 8470) and in Latin (A. 10408) with slight variations. Attention may be directed to it, because in the English version the latter Richard Ryvell, the prospective bridegroom, is described as ‘son-in-law’ of William Attilbrough, the mayor of Coventry ; the abstract of the French one (to which we are referred) styles him ‘stepson’ (fitz en ley). This is obviously a point of some importance to genealogists, and we think that ‘stepson’ would be right in both cases, for Richard is expressly referred to as son of Joan, William's wife’. In 1411 Joan’s son Richard is named as her heir, but as discussed above this is not absolute proof of her death. A William Attilburgh was granted land on ‘Erlstreit’ in 1421 and in 1424 a William Attilburgh and a Johanna Attilburgh were taxed 6s-8d and 3s-4d, respectively, on land in ‘Erll Strete’. 213 Althogh she would have been at least 70 this might well be Joan the daughter of William of Bukby and her second husband. In 1428 Richard inherited property that once belonged to William Attilburgh. 214 Richard Ryvell of Coventry, Son of Geoffrey de Edmundscote and Joan Revell, and Grandson of William of Bukkeby, Extant 1386–1407–1455–1460 Deciphering this Richard Ryvell’s parentage has proven rather complicated because of his father adopting his mother’s maiden name. Richard Ryvell’s father had died by 1402, 215 and his mother had remarried by 1411. In 1407 Richard Revell married Margery, the daughter of Robert Huggeford and Joyce his wife, 216, 217 establishing that he was born no later than ca 1386. His seal dated 1408 is described as ‘Ermine, on a bend three roundels’. 218 BHOL states, ‘William Rivel left a daughter Joan who married Geoffrey de Edmundescote, also called Reynolds, and their son Richard took his mother's name of Rivel and in 1408 conveyed the manor [Edmescote]to Robert Hugford [son of John] and 219, 220, 221 Joyce his wife, whose daughter Margery Richard married’. This marriage was celebrated ‘en tut haste possible’ and it 207 Fine Rolls page 266 http://archive.org/stream/calendaroffinero11greauoft#page/266/mode/2up 208 C 241/190/79 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/browser.asp?CATLN=3&CATID=2240&POSCATLN=7&POSCATID=72000*- 5106904&j=1 209 A. 9851. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64413 210 A. 6614. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64381 211‘Coventry - Records of Early English Drama’ 212 "The Ancestor; a quarterly review of county and family history, heraldry and antiquities" http://www.archive.org/stream/ancestorquarterl06londuoft/ancestorquarterl06londuoft_djvu.txt 213 ‘The Coventry Leet Book’ http://www.archive.org/stream/coventryleetboo00unkngoog#page/n57/mode/1up 214 A. 10827 https://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64431 215 A. 9851. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64413 216 A. 8470 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64399 217 A.10408 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64419 218 Mediaeval Seals http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/arch-787-1/dissemination/pdf/BAJ055_PDFs/BAJ055_A03_tremlett.pdf 219 A History of County Warwick Volume 6 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=57119 25/06/2012 22 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
is possibly on account of the associated peculiar but unspecified reasons that Robert Hugford persuaded Richard Revell to part with the manor of Emscote in 1408 in exchange for properties at Gaydon and Burton Dassett (Warwickshire) and at Dunton (Leicestershire). 222 An article in ‘The Ancestor’ draws attention to two deeds dated September 19 th 1406, as follows: 223 ‘An agreement of 1420 is found both in French (A. 8470) and in Latin (A. 10408) with slight variations. Attention may be directed to it, because in the English version the latter Richard Ryvell, the prospective bridegroom, is described as ' son-in-law ' of William Attilbrough, the mayor of Coventry ; the abstract of the French one (to which we are referred) styles him * stepson ' (fitz en ley}. This is obviously a point of some importance to genealogists, and we think that c stepson ' would be right in both cases, for Richard is expressly referred to as son of Joan, William's wife’. Summaries from BHOL are as follows: ‘A8470. Counterpart indenture between William Attelburgh, mayor of Coventry, of the one part and Robert Huggeford of the other, being an agreement that Richard Rivell step-son (titz en ley),of the said William should with the consent of Joan his mother, wife of the said William, espouse Margery Robert's daughter in the parish church of Mulverton with all speed (en tut haste possible) and that the said Robert should thereupon pay 20l. to the said William to be employed for their benefit; and the said William granted that on the death of the said Joan an extent should be made of all the lands &c. wherein he had a life estate, and that from the total 6 marks should be deducted yearly during his life to find a chaplain to pray for the father and mother of the said Joan and all Christian souls, and that of the residue half should remain to his own use and the other half to the use of the said Richard and Margery. Done at Eddemescote, Saturday after St. Lucy the Virgin, 8 Henry IV. Seal (a buck's head caboshed), with legend 'R. Hugge- forde.' French’. 224 ‘A. 10408. Counterpart of agreement between William Attilburgh, mayor of Coventre, and Robert Huggeford, viz. that Richard Ryvell, son- in-law of the said William, with the assent of Joan his mother, William's wife, shall marry Margery, Robert's daughter, forthwith, at the parish church of Milverton; Robert, on the day of marriage, shall pay William, to the use of the said Richard and Margery, 10l. and 10l. at Easter following; all the lands, &c. wherein the said William has an estate for life shall be extended at their true value above drawbacks after the decease of the said Joan, and from the total 6 marks shall be yearly deducted to find a chaplain, to be nominated by the said William, to pray for the souls of her father, mother and ancestors and for all Christian souls during the said William's life; the residue to be equally divided, one half to William for life, the other to the use of the said Richard and Margery, with the reversion to them of the whole; feoffees of the respective moieties to be appointed; the muniments of the estate to be put in a chest with two keys, William to have one and Richard the other. Eddemescote, Saturday after St. Lucy the Virgin, 8 Henry IV. Two seals, one cracked, a buck's head caboshed with the legend 'hugford.' See A. 8470. 225 These events are further discussed by Dugdale but some of his original references are not legible in the digitised text. 226 Dugdale also records that Richard Revell had a grant of free warren in all his demesne lands at Edmescote and at Milverton in 1411, and that this remained with his male descendents until the time of Henry VII (i.e. until at least 1485). However, rather than in 1408 as stated in History of Parliament, 227 it seems as though some of these transactions did not take place until 1410 / 1 because in February of that year the Close Rolls record: 228 ‘Richard son of Geoffrey Reynald of Edmescote, otherwise called Richard Reyuell, otherwise Richard son of Joan daughter of William Ryuell, to Robert Huggeford esquire and Joyce his wife, and to the heirs and assigns of the said Robert. Quitclaim with warranty of the manor of Edmescote co. Warrewyke otherwise called Edlescote, and of all lands, rents, reversions and services in Edmescote and Mulverton late of William Ryuell, whereof they were enfeoffed by Thomas Knyght clerk, John Lee of Fulbroke, Thomas Ryuell of Edmescote and William Tallour of Warrewyke. Witnesses : Thomas Burdet, Thomas Lucy knights, Ralph Arderne, William Clopton, Thomas Gower. Dated 15 February 11 Henry IV. Memorandum of acknowledgment, 17 February’. At much the same date Richard Revell acquired property in Coventry, as follows: 220 ‘A Dictionary of English Surnames’ By Percy Hide Reaney, Richard Middlewood Wilson http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=fPoujUPs3hYC&pg=RA1-PA68&lpg=RA1- PA68&dq=%22william+brun%22&source=web&ots=RVl_QDV36m&sig=dbk2- Z30lUDwzspBRtEK4oQaeGo&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPA1232,M1 221 The Ancient and Present State of Glocestershire p. 109 http://www.hawkesburyhistory.com/Atkyns/atkins106_130.pdf. 222 History of Parliament http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/hugford-robert-1411 223 "The Ancestor; a quarterly review of county and family history, heraldry and antiquities" http://www.archive.org/stream/ancestorquarterl06londuoft/ancestorquarterl06londuoft_djvu.txt 224 A. 8470 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64399 225 A.10408 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=64419 226 The antiquities of Warwickshire page 187 by Dugdale http://www.archive.org/stream/antiquitiesofwar00dugd#page/186/mode/2up 227 History of Parliament http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1386-1421/member/hugford-robert-1411 228 Close Rolls http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/FHMedieval2&CISOPTR=29584&REC=0&CISOBOX=ryvel*&CISOSHOW=2 9212 25/06/2012 23 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
