NOTES:
a. The Complete Peerage presents a chart of this Kyme family, and shows the ancestry preceding the first Simon de Kyme above as follows: Simon (md Agnes), son of William, son of Simon, son of William de Kyme, "tenant of Waldin the engineer, the Domesday tenant".

b. In 1256, William, for his salvation and that of Lucy his wife, confirmed numerous gifts to Bullington Priory. Lucy, still living in 1279, was buried in the Grey Friar's Church at York, as was Sir William de Ros of Igmanthorpe. CP makes no further statement as to her parentage, but that she was related to this William de Ros is certain. She may be the daughter of Sir William de Ros and his wife Lucy Fitz Piers.

c. He was under age at his father's death and was given as ward of Hugh le Bigod 7 Nov 1259. He was summoned for military service against the Welsh Jul 1277, and in 1282, 1283, 1287, and 1294. In Sep 1283 he was summoned to a meeting at Shrewsbury for the trial of Llewelyn ap Griffith, and in Jul 1285, he had license to alienate land in North Kime to the priory there. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 Jun 1295 to 26 Nov 1313, whereby he is held to have become Lord Kyme. He was a benefactor to Bullington Priory, 1295 and 1299, and in 1297/98 he was holding the manor of Calceby, co. Lincoln. He had summons to military service against the Scots in 1300, 1301, 1303, 1306, 1311, and 1315 to 1317.
