‘Agreement between the Abbot of Combe on the one part and Elizabeth widow of Sir John Revel, knight, and John their son on the other part, acknowledging that Sir William de Thorp, knight, conveyed by fine to the predecessor of the said abbot the reversion of the profits of a mill and pool, of 20 acres of meadow and 10 acres of pasture with appurtenances in Brynkkelowe after the death of the said Elizabeth [Revel] and John [Revel], reserving to them during their lives all their right and interest in the said premises as leased to them by the said Sir William, as freely as Aubrey de Witlebur' or any of his ancestors enjoyed the same. Witnesses: Sir Nicholas de Colshull', Laurence de Colshull', John Freland, Adam Gyeys, Adam de Kybworth', Richard de Leycestre and others’. 33 Note, however, that Dugdale has him living until at least 1352, but this probably stems from confusion with his son of the same name. 34 Consistent with 1347 being the year of his death is a document dated 1350,’ Grant of a licence from John Ryvel, son and heir of Sir John Ryvel, knight, and Roger de Wassingleye, Lord of Wappenbur' to 'sir' Thomas de Woluardinton, parson of the church of Lolenham, and his assigns, that he may give and assign to 2 chaplains, for himself and his soul, and for the souls of Peter de Woluardinton and Aline, his wife, and their sons, and all the dead faithful, in the Chapel of All Souls at Stretton on Dunnesmor, at the altar of St. Thomas the Martyr, to be celebrated every day forever, 1 messuage and its appurtenances in Stretton: to hold to the 2 chaplains and their successors forever. John, Roger, and their heirs disclaim all right to it. Witnesses: John de Odingeseles, John de Verdon, knight, William de Sucton of Draicote, Thomas Breton, John Sparri, John de Hookeleye, William Payn, John de Esunhull and Thomas Rondulf, and others. Given at Neubolde near Kyrkeby, Tuesday in the week after the Nativity of our Lord on the feast of St. Thomas the Martyr, 23 Edward III.; Seal: missing; tag.; Endorsed: Revell(?)’. 35, The seals of a John Revell and his wife Elizabeth, dated to 1347, and probably referring to this couple, are listed in the ‘Catalogue of Heraldic Seals’. 36 His arms are described as ‘bore, ermine’ a chevron gules, a bordure engrailed sable’ whereas those of his father Sir William are ‘differenced by a mullet or on the chevron’ in the Ashmole Roll of Edward III. 37 John Revell married Elizabeth and had at least six children, three sons and three daughters. All three sons died without issue, possibly in the 1380s, 38 but certainly by 1406. 33 DR10/69 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=188-dr10_1-1&cid=-1&Gsm=2008-06-18#-1 34 The Antiquities of Warwickshire page143 by Dugdale http://www.archive.org/stream/antiquitiesofwar00dugd#page/142/mode/2up 35 CR162/241 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/A2A/records.aspx?cat=187-cr162&cid=-1&Gsm=2008-06-18#-1 36 ‘Catalogue of Heraldic Seals’ http://www.archive.org/details/catalogueofseals03brit 37 ‘Some Feudal Coats of Arms’ http://www.archive.org/stream/somefedualcoatso00fostuoft#page/166/mode/2up/search/revel 38 The Life and Times of Sir Thomas Malory’ By Peter John Christopher Field http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=92zxNMHuUKcC&pg=PA77&lpg=PA77&dq=revell+balsall&source=web&ots=_Tl_bhfG0q&sig=KKHoPs3 PpYSyZ23O4JwP7raI-WI&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA42,M1 25/06/2012 4 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
The sons of Sir John Revell, senior Three sons of John Revell, senior, grandsons of William of Newbold, are clearly documented. However, pedigrees 170 and 174 in Hunters Familiae Minorum Gentium, available on Rotherham Web are suspect, at least in the early part showing the supposed descent from William of Newbold Revell to Thomas of Higham. Pedigree 174 shows William as having a third son Simon Revell as the immediate ancestor of Thomas of Higham. Pedigree 170 shows a Simon Revell as the second son of John Revell (senior), and another Simon Revell in the next generation as a brother to Thomas of Higham. The limited evidence recently found for a Simon Revell is discussed below but the dates for which he is recorded are not consistent with him being a third son of William of Newbold. Nicholas Revell, extant ?–1331–1351–1373–? John’s son Nicholas Revell entered the Church. On November 16 th 1351 at Henley-in-Arden ‘Dominus Nicholas Ryvell, parson …’ made a quitclaim to ‘Dominus William Ryvell all claims to all their lands and tenements which they hold from the gift and feoffment of the said dominus Sir William Ryvell’. 39 The identity of the Sir William Ryvell is uncertain, but possibly Nicholas’s brother, see below, or the poorly documented William Revell shown by Dugdale as either the father or son of William Revell of Buckeby who married Ellen — see below and Table 2. On August 1 st 1353 ‘Nicholas Ryvel, Dominus’ witnessed a gift relating to a gift of property at various locations around Coventry. 40 On November 10 th 1356, a grant of rent records: ‘Grant to dominus Sir John de Bracebrugge by dominus Nicholas Rynel clerk, dominus Thomas Basse vicar of Kingsbury church and John le Lee of £200 annual rent from the manor of Kingsbury with which they were jointly enfeoffed with all its appurtenances in perpetuity by the said John. Annual rent to be paid in equal portions if in arrears in part or wholly it will be lawful for the said John and his heirs to enter and retain in the said manor in perpetuity without contradiction by the said Nicholas, Thomas and John and their heirs, notwithstanding the enfeoffment by the said John’. 41 In 1357 he is described in the Papal Register as ‘rector of Cleycotny, in the diocese of Lincoln’, probably Cleyorton. 42 On December 19 th 1361 a quitclaim records: ‘Nicholas Rivel parson of Cleycotes church and dominus of Newbold Revel and Thomas Basse vicar of Kingsbury church release for themselves and their heirs to Sir John de Bracebrugge dominus of Kingsbury all claims that they have in the manor of Kingsbury’. 43 According to BHOL, ‘In 1363 Nicholas Rivell, priest, obtained papal licence to found a house of Austin Friars at Coventry, (fn. 1) but for some reason, possibly local opposition, the project was abandoned’. 44 In March 1364 / 5 it is recorded that ‘The Bishop conferred the Hospital or Chapel of S. Nicholas of Namptwych , the collation of which had devolved to him by lapse of six months, upon Nicholas Rivell, priest’, 45 but this might not be the same individual. About 1366 Nicholas Revel was made a Papal Chaplain, as follows.’ To Nicholas Reuel or Revel, M.A. rector of Cleycot (Claycoton), in the diocese of Lincoln. Conferring the dignity of papal chaplain upon him’. 46 He is mentioned in a charter, 47 grant 48 and demise 49 referring to property in Coventry, all dated July 7 th 1370, as follows: ‘From Thomas Langhurst and his wife Margaret to Nicholas Ryvel (clerk), William Suwet and Richard de Blaby (chaplains) and William le Clerc of Offchurch of BA/B/A/99/3's property, once William Erneys’. 39 Mi D 4033 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%27ryvell%27%29 40 Mi D 4034 http://msscat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=2&dsqSearch=% 28%28text%29%3D%27ryvel%27%29 41 Mi D 4125 http://msscat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=% 28AltRefNo%3D%27Mi%20D%204125%27%29 42 Regesta http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=96332 43 Mi D 4128 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%27rivel%27%29 44 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36486 45 ‘Collections for a History of Staffordshire Vol 10’ http://www.archive.org/stream/newcollectionsforpt210stafuoft#page/166/mode/2up 46 ‘Regesta 256: 1366-1367', Calendar of Papal Registers Relating to Great Britain and Ireland, Volume 4: 1362-1404 (1902)’ http://www.britishhistory.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=96373&strquery 47 BA/B/1/99/5 http://www.coventrycollections.org/collections/?id=COVHC_BA_B_1_99_5&title=Charter 48 BA/B/1/99/6 http://www.coventrycollections.org/collections/?id=COVHC_BA_B_1_99_6&title=Grant 49 BA/B/1/99/8 http://www.coventrycollections.org/collections/?id=COVHC_BA_B_1_99_8&title=Demise 25/06/2012 5 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
