NOTES:
a. In 1086, he held a carucate of land in Lincolnshire, at Walcot near Folkingham, and another at Yawthorpe. He is presumably the same Gilbert who in 1115-18 held of Peterborough in co. Lincoln 2 carucates, and of the Bishop of Lincoln held land in Scothern, Reepham, etc.
b. In or before 1146, he was lord of the fee in which the church of Scothern lay, and held also Walcot.
c. Witnessed the foundation charter of Revesby Abbey in 1142, a charter of Ranulph, Earl of Chester ca 1142-53, and a notification by Robert, Earl of Leicester ca 1160-63. He held 5 knights' fees of the Bishop of Lincoln, and 4 of the honour of Manasser Arsic in 1166. Between 1150 and 1160, he granted to Kirkstead Abbey land in Great Sturton, co. Lincoln, with the goodwill of his son and heir apparent, Geoffrey, and between 1156 and 116, was founder, with his brother Alan, of Tupholme abbey. He was dead in 1169.
d. From the spring of 1162, held a portion of the Crown soke of Horncastle. He gave land in Burreth and Toynton and the church of St. German of Ranby to Tupholme. In Sep 1184, he was on circuit as a Justice of Yorkshire. He married Emma, widow of Geoffrey de Valoignes, and daughter of Bertram de Bulmer. She survived him.
e. She became heir upon the death of her brother, Henry, who died s.p. in 1227. After Robert Fitz Maldred's death, she married Gilbert de Brakenberg 26 May 1248.
f. He assumed the name of his mother, and as Geoffrey Fitz Robert he gave land at Burreth to Tupholme Abbey, and as Geoffrey Fitz Robert Fitz Maldred he witnessed his father's charter regarding a prebends of York. His widow, Joan, was still iiving in Nov 1247.
g. His parentage is uncertain; The Complete Peerage states that he was either the Geoffrey de Neville, younger brother of Robert de Neville of Raby (d 1282), or a Geoffrey de Neville of whom nothing is known until the time of his marriage. He acquired feudal importance by his marriage to Margaret, daughter of John de Lungvilliers, who brought her FitzSwain and Malherbe inheritance to her marriage. On 25 Oct 1270 he was appointed chief of the justices in eyre of the Forest, co. Notts, York, Cumberland, and Northumberland, and continued to act as Chief Justice of the Forest beyond Trent until his death. He was summoned in 1277, 1282, and 1283 for military service against the Welsh. His wife survived him and had writ for livery of Hornby Castle 3 Apr 1285. She was summoned to perform military service in person, in Gascony in 1294, and again against the Scots in Jun 1300.
h. He was probably the Robert de Neville who was with the King in Scotland in 1296, and/or the noble knight Robert de Neville, whose exploit against a band of marauding Scots, upon whom he dashed on coming out of Mass, Lent 1303. He was summoned for service in Scotland 1312, and in 1314, attended the Great Council. It should be noted that Complete Peerage does not divulge the name of his wife.
i. Son of Robert, younger son of Geoffrey, he was aged 23 and (probably considerably) more in Dec 1335. He was summoned in Feb 1341/42 to a Council at Westminster, and in 1344 was made a commissioner of the peace in Lancashire, and again in 1346, as well as keeper of the peace at West Riding, co. Yorks, in 1350. A knight by the autumn of 1344, he fought at Crecy 26 Aug 1346, and also in the siege of Calais. It is stated that from around 1350 and onwards, he appeared to be in financial trouble, in May 1362, being both in Newgate and the Fleet prison for debt. After the death of first wife, Joan de Atherton, he married Elizabeth, perhaps a sister of Sir John de Kirkeby. They were both still living in Jul 1373.
j. Son and heir by his father's first wife, he is probably the same Robert de Neville who, in 1358, called "the Prince's bachelor", received an annuity of 100 marks for life in consideration of notable service in Gascony and at the battle of Poitiers. In Sep 1357, he was joint commissioner of the Prince, and surveyor of his great horses Feb 1360/61. He was a member of Parliament for Yorkshire in 1377, Sheriff of Yorkshire 1378-79, and in 1382, 1383, and 1385, comissioner in that county to restore and establish peace. He married Margaret, sister of Sir Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk. Besides his heir, John, who died v.p. bef 1387, he left two daughters, Margaret and Joan, who were his eventual heirs, after the death of their niece Margaret, daughter of John.
