‘By Thomas Langhurst and his wife Margaret to Nicholas Ryvel (clerk), William Suwet and Richard de Blaby (chaplains) and William le Clerc of Offchurch of all goods in BA/B/A/99/3's premises’. ‘By Nicholas Ryvel et al (described as in BA/B/A/99/5) to Thomas Langhurst and his wife Margaret of BA/B/A/99/5's property, paying 4d. per annum with remainder to any child that the Langhursts might produce’. In 1371, Nicholas confirmed the gift made in 1352 by his brother Sir John of land at Ovingdean to Thomas Mutson, 50 and is described as brother and heir of Sir John Ryvel of Newbold Revel. In 1372, the Close Rolls contain two charters, as follows: 51 ‘Charter of Nicholas Revel lord of Fennyneubolde, giving with warranty to Richard Gode his servant, his heirs and assigns and the assigns of his assigns, one great croft called Raldewynnscroft and 2^ acres of arable land in Stretton by Monks Kirkeby, one acre thereof lying in a selion called Thurghlond upon Derwellefurlong between lands sometime of Thomas Boydon and William Pilet, and 1 1 acre in the same cultura in three selions lying together between lands late of Thomas Koc and John Bagot abutting on the fosse {inte fosse); also 2| acres and 6 butts of land with headlands (chevettis) of meadow and appurtenances in Fenny'neubolde, one acre lying upon Longelond by land of Richard le Reve, one acre with headland of meadow upon the same cultura by land of the said Richard le Reve, half an acre of land upon Littulhulle, by land of the said Nicholas, and the said six butts with headlands of meadow upon Bouerbuttes abutting on the (inte) Brynkelowedam, whereof three a\ ere late of William Brt)un and three late of Thomas Koccus (sic). Witnesses : George de Castello, Richard de Esenhulle, John Clerk of Stretton, Thomas Bagot, John Fraunkeleyn. Dated Fennyneubolde, Tuesday after St. Hilary 42 Edward III’. ‘Charter of Nicholas Revel lord of Fennyneubolde, giving with warranty to Richard Gode his servant, his heirs and assigns and the assigns of his assigns, two messuages with appurtenances in the town of Stretton by Kirkeby, one lately held by Adam Yremongere the other by Roger Coke ; also 30 acres of land and 2 acres of meadow in the said town, whereof 8 acres were sometime held by William Smyth, 12 acres by William de Swyneford and 10 acres by Roger Coke, and the 2 acres of meadow lie in Stretton Moor ; also 5 acres and 3 butts of land with a meadow called the Hemslade in the fields of Fennyneubolde and Stretton wliicli John Revel father of the said Nicholas lately had of the gift and feoffment of Henry Russell of Coventre, whereof one acre lies upon Longelond by land of Thomas Cole, one half acre upon Luttelhulle by land of the said Nicholas, one half acre in Wybelcroft-slade by land of the said Nicholas on either side, 3 butts upon Boueres-buttes extending to the (inte) Brynkelowedam, one acre upon Fosse- furlong by land of Thomas Boydyn, one acre upon Hiderholoulowe by land of Thomas Bagot, and 4 roods upon Hauthom furlong by land of Robert Gibbe. Witnesses and date (as the last)’. It is suggested that Nicholas Revel, Rector of Cleyorton, died in 1383, 52 but this has not been proven. It is not known what property he held or to whom it descended. William Revell, son of Sir John Revell, senior, extant ?–1326–1346–1373 Sir John Revell senior is said to have had a son William Revell who is comparatively poorly documented, there being no primary references that unequivocally identify him. His date of birth and death are not certainly known, but he is said to have died without issue. It is said by Gladwyn Turbutt in his History of Ogston that this William Revell succeeded John Revell as ‘a receiver of the 15 and 10 granted to the King in Parliament’ and he is generally assumed to be his son and that he died about 1373. 53 . The earliest record located that is likely to be referring to this individual is a gift in fee simple dated February 2 nd 1345 / 6 of property at Henley in the parish of Foleshill that reads ‘William de Neuton rector of Seagrave church and dominus William de Walton enfeoff William Revel and his heirs with all their lands and tenements and all rents, reversions and service with appurtenances in the vills of Henley, Foleshill, Okeleshale, Byggyng, Stoke, Wyken, Sowe, Whitley, Harnall, Melton Mowbray, Northpydale and Bukton, namely all that they hold from the gift of Stephen de Seagrave’. 54 While the foregoing record does not unequivocally define this William Revell, what must surely be the same individual is referred to explicitly on November 16 th 1351 as Dominus William Revell in connection with a Dominus Nicholas Revell, as follows; ‘Dominus Nicholas Ryvell parson of ? church, dominus William de Walton ? of Newbold on Avon church and John Whitwelle release and for themselves and their heirs quitclaim forever to dominus William Ryvell all claims to all their lands 50 A History of the County of Sussex Volume 7 http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=56956 51 Close Rolls 52 http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/revill/warwick.htm 53 ‘The History of Ogston’ by Gladwyn Turbutt 54 Mi D 4031 http://msscat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=10&dsqSearch= %28%28text%29%3D%27%20revel%27%29 25/06/2012 6 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
and tenements which they hold from the gift and feoffment of the said dominus Sir William Ryvell’. 55 Nicholas Revell and William Revell are brothers. It is almost certain that It is generally accepted that it was this William Revell who was ‘of the retinue of Thomas, Bishop of Durheme’ in the ‘French expedition’ of 1346, 56, 57 i.e. the Battle of Crécy on August 26 th 1346, when Thomas Hatfield the Bishop of Durham led the rearguard. The records of the City of Southampton contain a list as follows: ‘Nomina Militum bominum ad arma et sagittariorum in Comitia Thome de Bello Campo Comitis Warrewyk super salvam custodiam ville Suhampton. A xxv to Juiii anno xiij vsque xxv. diem Augusti proxime sequentem per xxxij dies, utroque die computato’, 58 = ‘Names of the men-at-arms and bowmen from the assembly of Thomas Beauchamp Earl of Warwick guarding the town of Southampton through 32 days from July 25 th to August 25 th ’. (This is my translation from Latin and not necessarily perfect). Included in the list is a ‘Willelmus Ryuel’. The same record appears in the French Rolls’. 59 It is likely that it is this William Revell who is named in the IPM for John de Hastanges, Earl of Pembroke in 1376 as holding ‘a moiety of a fee at Brownsover’, 60 previously held by his putative father John Revell in 1325. 61 In 1391 / 2 there are several references to a John Ryuell and his wife Joan, formerly the wife of William Boole (Bole) of Southampton, 62 (merchant who represented Southampton in Parliament in 1378 and 1385) 63 but the connection, if any, is obscure. It has not been possible to locate any other certain references to them but a John Ryall was appointed to the priory of St Denys on December 6 th 1397 and died shortly before April 20 th 1412 when his successor was appointed. 64 Sir John Revell, junior, extant ?–1298–1325-1359–? The dates of birth and death for Sir John’s son John Revell, who inherited the title, are uncertain, but he was born no later than ca 1305 because he is recorded in the IPM for John de Hastinges as holding half a knight’s fee at Brownsover in 1325, 65 and he lived to at least 1359. The Inquisition held in 1358 to determine the age of ‘John de Odyngsels son of John de Odyngsels’ includes a statement ‘John Rivel, aged 60 years, says that the said John de Odyngsels was 21 years of age on the Nativity of the Blessed Mary last, because he was born in Ichynton on that feast, 10 Edward III, and baptised in the church there. John Rivel knows this because he married Margery his wife on the morrow of that day’. 66 Ages stated in IPMs are known not necessarily to be precise, but a birth in 1298 is plausible. If the IPM is correct then he married Margaret on September 9 th 1337 but her maiden name is uncertain. Alastair Revell suggests that she might belong to the Odingsells. 67 It is difficult to distinguish records referring to the father from those referring to the son, but Sir John Revell, senior, was dead by 1347 and it must be his son John Ryvel who on September 5 th 1350 is named as one of two guarantors for William Chaunon in connection with the dues to be paid for Monks Kirkeby Priory. 68 55 Mi D 4033 http://msscat.nottingham.ac.uk/DServe/dserve.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=11&dsqSearch= %28%28text%29%3D%27%20revel%27%29 56 Historical Narrative of the Ely, Revell and Stacye Families’ HTTP://WWW.ARCHIVE.ORG/SEARCH.PHP?QUERY=MEDIATYPE%3ATEXTS%20AND%20COLLECTION%3ABLC%20AND%20SUBJECT%3A%22STACY %20FAMILY%22 57 French Roll page 85 http://www.archive.org/stream/collectionsforhi18stafuoft#page/100/mode/2up/search/revel and http://www.archive.org/stream/collectionsforhi18stafuoft#page/84/mode/2up/search/revel 58 The manuscripts of the Corporations of Southampton and kings Lynn http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=67100 59 Historical Narrative of the Ely, Revell and Stacye Families’ HTTP://WWW.ARCHIVE.ORG/SEARCH.PHP?QUERY=MEDIATYPE%3ATEXTS%20AND%20COLLECTION%3ABLC%20AND%20SUBJECT%3A%22STACY %20FAMILY%22 60 CIPM Volume 14 page 159 http://proxify.com/p/011010A1000100/687474703a2f2f626162656c2e686174686974727573742e6f72672f6367692f70743f69643d77752e383 93039353737303930353b766965773d696d6167653b7365713d3138373b71313d726576656c3b73746172743d313b73697a653d31303b706 167653d7365617263683b6e756d3d313539 61 Inquisitions Post Mortem http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924099427845#page/n431/mode/2up/search/ryvel 62 The Black Book of Southampton http://www.archive.org/stream/theblackbook01soutuoft#page/28/mode/2up 63 A History of Southampton http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofsoutham00daviuoft#page/200/mode/2up/search/bole 64 A History of Southampton http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofsoutham00daviuoft#page/440/mode/2up 65 Inquisitions Post Mortem http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924099427845#page/n431/mode/2up/search/ryvel 66 CIPM Volume 10 page 320 http://proxify.com/p/011010A1000100/687474703a2f2f626162656c2e686174686974727573742e6f72672f6367692f70743f69643d77752e383 93039353737303832323b766965773d696d6167653b7365713d3336323b71313d726976656c3b73746172743d313b73697a653d31303b706 167653d7365617263683b6e756d3d333230 67 Personal commuication from Alastair Revell 25/06/2012 7 Comments, corrections and additions to Rotherham Web [rotherweb@blueyonder.co.uk]
