Part 2. The children of William Revell of Newbold ... - Rotherham Web

It must be this John Revell, as distinct from his father, who is recorded as holding one part of two knights’ fees of the Manor of
Wappenbury by 1349. 69 The IPM for the Earl of Kent records in 1353 for Wappenbury and Fenny Neubold that ‘two knights
fees were held by Roger de Wappenbury and the heir of Richard de Beyville and John Revel’. 70
John Revell, junior, is recorded as a witness in 1353 / 4, 71, 72 and named in the Fine Rolls as a collector of subsidy for
Warwickshire who relinquished the role in February 1353 / 4. 73
A John Ryvel, chivaler’ is mentioned along with a ‘William Ryvel, chivaler’ in a complaint by Ralph son of Ralph Basset of
Drayton on May 20 th 1355. 74
‘Commission of oyer and terminer to Ralph, earl of Stafford,Westminster. William de Shareshull, Roger Hillary, Henry Grene,
Hugh de Meignill and Roger de Hepwell, on complaint by Ralph son of Ralph Basset of Dray ton that Baldwin de Fryvill, '
chivaler,' Fulk de Birmyngham, ' chivaler,' William Ryvel, ' chivaler,' John Ryvel,* chivaler,' John Mounfort, ' chivaler,'
William de Conesby, ' chivaler,' John le Clerk, John de Bracebrigge, Baldwin de Whiteneys, clerk, John de Whiteneye, Walter
Holdeto, chaplain, William le Harpour, Richard Where, John le Coke, Geoffrey Leek, William Leek, John de Shepheye, *
corveyser,' Richard le Cook, Robert Bisshop and others, at divers times, carried away his goods at Tamworth, Middelton and
Wilmyncote, in the counties of Stafford and Warwick, and assaulted his men and servants. For 30s. paid in the hanaper’.
It is not known when Sir John Revell junior’s wife Margaret died, but it seems certain that he married second Joan Deincourt
thus possibly acquiring the first Revell lands in Derbyshire.
An account in ‘History of Nottinghamshire’, by Robert Thoroton, reads: 75
‘John de Aslacton was impleaded by Roger de Langford Junior, and Alice his wife, and John Ryvell, Chr and Joan his wife,
daughters and heirs of Roger Deyncourt, for violently ejecting them from the custody of the Land and Heir of John de Aslockton,
being then underage; which John died, being seised of 100 acres of Land, forty of meadow, and the third part of the Manor of
Aslockton, which he held of the said Roger Deyncourt , by Knight’s service, viz. by Homage and Scutage, for a Knight’s fee,
whereupon the jury gave them £20 damage, and they desired execution and they had it. This heir, then in minority, was William
it seems, whose daughter and heir, Isabel (de Aslockton, father William, grandfather John), was married to Edmund Cranmer
(son of Thomas, grandson of Hugo), and to that Manor of Aslockton’.
A more detailed account taken from the Plea Rolls is given in ‘Collections for a History of Staffordshire’ published in 1891, 76 as
follows:
‘John de Aslacton, parson of the Church of Brigeford, was summoned at the suit of Nicholas de Longeford, the younger, and
Alice, his wife, and John Ryvel, Chivaler, and Joan, his wife, the daughters and heirs of Roger Deyncourt, Chivaler, for forcibly
ejecting the said Roger from the wardship of the land, and heir of John de Aslacton ; and the plaintiffs stated that the said John
de Aslacton, held of Roger, the father of Alice and Joan, 100 acres of land and forty acres of meadow, in Aslacton, and the third
part of the manor of Aslacton, by military service, and by the service of a Knight's fee, and died in the homage of the said Roger,
and the said Roger was in peaceable seisin of the said tenements from the Feast of St. Michael, 24 E. Ill 1351, up to the Feast of
the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, 27 E. Ill 1354, when the said John de Aslacton, the parson (the heir being under age), had
forcibly ejected the said Roger, and whilst a suit on the subject was proceeding in the King's Court, the said Roger had died, and
the right of action had accrued to the said plaintiffs, as daughters and heirs of Roger under the Statute, and they claimed 100 as
damages.
John de Aslacton, the defendant, denied that John de Aslacton had died seised of the tenements, as stated by the defendants,
because under the name of John, the eldest son of Sir Reginald de Aslacton, Knight, he had granted by his deed to him under the
name of John de Aslacton, the parson, the third part of the manor of Aslacton, and all his lands and tenements, in Aslacton, and
