The Clotherholme Family

Joan (_____) de Clotherum

Married: Roger de Clotherum

Children:

Joan and Roger also had other children, both sons and daughters - in his chantry endowment document, John mentions his brother Roger and "my other brothers and sisters" ("aliorum fratrum et sororum") but they are not named (Memorials of the Church of SS. Peter & Wilfrid, Ripon vol 4 in The Publications of the Surtees Society vol 115 pp249-53)

Notes:
Joan is named in some documents as the wife of Roger de Clotherhum, but little else is known.

John de Clotherholme

Birth: 30 March 1302

At his father's Inquisition Post Mortem, held on the "Wednesday before SS. Tiburcius and Valerian, 11 Edward II", John was stated to be 16 years old "on Thursday after the Annunciation last".
My analysis of these dates is that the feast day of Tibutius and Valerian is 14 April which in 11 Edward II was 14 April 1318, a Friday on the Julian calendar in England, meaning the IPM was held on 12 April 1318. Annunciation is 25 March, so "Annuciation last" was 25 March 1318, a Saturday, so the "Thursday after Annunciation last" was 30 March 1318, and if this was John's 16th birthday, then he was born on 30 March 1302.

Father: Roger de Clotherum

Mother: Joan (_____) de Clotherum

Married (1st): Alice

When John endowed his chantry on 2 January 1358(9), he names his wives "Tessancie et Alicie vxorum mearum". John was born in 1302, and Thesancia was still married to her first husband in 1344, and entries in the Patent Rolls in 1354 and 1356 refer to Thesancia as John's wife, still living from the context, so I think it is very likely that Alice was John's first wife, and Thesancia his second. Robert Glover, in his Visitation of Yorkshire, made in the years 1584/5 p234, assigns Joan as the daughter of Thesancia, but from the timing, I think it is more likely she was the daughter of Alice.

Married (2nd): Thesancia (_____) de Aldefelde
Thesancia was married, firstly, to William de Aldefelde and on 7 December 1344, William and Thesancia established a chapel at Aldefelde that reverted to the Chapter of Ripon on their deaths (Memorials of the Church of SS. Peter & Wilfrid, Ripon vol 4 in The Publications of the Surtees Society vol 115 pp19-20 (ed. J. T. Fowler, 1908). When William died, Thesancia received part of this land in dower, for her life, and some transactions in 1354 and 1356 related to those dower lands record that Thesancia was married to John de Clotherholme at those dates.

The said manor and rent are not held of the king and the manor is worth yearly, beyond the services, rents and other charges incumbent on it, 2 marks, as has been found by inquisition taken by Peter de Nuttle, escheator in the county of York.

  Licence for the alienation in mortmain by John de Aldefeld to the abbot and convent of Fountains, in satisfaction of 9 marks of 20l. yearly of land and rent, which they had the late king’s licence to acquire, of the manor of Aldefeld, co. York, except the lands which John de Clotherum and Thesancia, his wife, hold for her life and except one third part of the residue of the manor which they hold as dower of the said Thesancia, and of the reversion of the lands excepted above, after the death of Thesancia. The said manor is not held in chief and is of the value of 102s. 5d. yearly, as has been found by inquisition taken by Miles de Stapelton, escheator in the said county.


Children: (it is unclear which of John's wives was the mother of his children) Occupation: Archbishop's bailiff of Ripon (1338), "bailiff of the liberty of Ripon" in a deed on 9 June 1340, and "steward of the chapter of Ripon" in 1359.
John was also a clerk in the city court of York, signing 15 charters confirmed there between 1323 and 1340.

Notes:
In March 1322, John, along with a contemporary, William de Clouthrum, participated on the side of the king in the Battle of Boroughbridge.

A rough translation of this document is:
85 v. (350) Founding Ordinance of a Chantry in the Chapel of the Blessed Mary in Clotherum.
  To all the children of the Holy Mother Church, to whom the present has reached by letter, John, by divine permission, Archbishop of York, the first legate of England and apostolic see, greetings in the sincere embrace of the salutatorian; He conspired with a sincere devotion to him, with a pious intention of mind, who for the increase of divine worship, for multiplying the number of ministers in the holy church of God, and for the institution of the celebrations of masses, which are more conducive to the salvation of those faithful to Christ, who in the very king of the heavens, pleased by mystical gifts, remedies for sins are more easily obtained, a sufficient perpetual portion of his possessions and resources, he desires to be liberally given away.
  When, therefore, we examined a certain duplicate charter of the beloved son of John de Clotherum, lord of Clotherum, in our diocese, and his ordination made over a certain chantry in the chapel of the blessed Mary Virgin of Clotherum, for the praise of the divine name, the increase of his worship, and for the salvation of the souls underwritten in perpetual future times in these words.
  To all the faithful of Christ, both present and future, John de Clotherom, greetings in him who is the true salvation of all; the deceitful and vain glory of this world, of which the wise man thus speaks in his scriptures, the vanity of vanities and all vanity, with frivolous and fleeting amusements, occupied my mind more than it should have in the past, as I confess. Hence it is that I, the aforesaid John de Clotherom, desiring, with the help of the Lord, to evacuate those who were little, like the Apostle, and to sow something of spiritual profit at this time of the seed which, coming with exultation through the grace of God, I will be able to reap in the future, I want to know your kindness, John de Clotherom, aforesaid, with the license and consent of the most excellent prince and lord Edward, by the grace of God, the illustrious King of England and France, and also the venerable father and lord in Christ, lord John, by the grace of God, Archbishop of York, Primate of England, and ambassador to the Apostolic See, as well as of all others concerned have given, granted, and confirmed by this present charter to God, blessed Mary, and all the Saints, and lord William de Plumpton, Chaplain, and his successors Chaplains, in the divine manner and form underwritten in a certain Chapel of the blessed Mary Virgin in the town of Clotherom, situate, for the underwritten souls of perpetual celebrants, one messuage, three acres of meadow and sixty-six tenements, with appurtenances in the villages of Clotherom and Ripon; To hold and have the aforesaid messuage, three acres of meadow and sixty-six tenements, with all its appurtenances, to the aforesaid lord William, the chaplain and his successors, the divine chaplains in the aforesaid chapel of the blessed Marie de Clotherum, as it is intended to be celebrated for the souls underwritten, freely, quietly, whole, well, and in peace, from the capital lords of those fees, through the due and customary seruices therefrom, perpetual, in pursuance and perpetuity bestowed as some tenements to any one or more freely may be given, granted, conferred, or even possessed, under this ordinance of mine which follows in this manner.
  In the first place, I will and as far as concerns me in the order in these writings, that the said Lord William, chaplain and his successors the chaplains who have been presented for the time being by me as long as I live and after my decease by my heirs to the venerable Chapter of the church of Ripon within twenty days from the time of any notice during the said vacancy they shall be presented to the said chantry, and by the said Chapter they shall be canonically instituted in the same. But if I or my heirs shall fail or delay to present the same chaplain to chantry within the said twenty days from the time of his vacancy, counting continuously, then the same Chapter below the others shall bring the aforesaid chantry to a suitable chaplain within the next twenty days, and dispose of that turn free of the same. And if perhaps the said Chapter within the aforesaid twenty days of the chantry has not contributed such a suitable chaplain as has been said, then the collation of the same chantry to the venerable father the Lord Archbishop of York, who for the time being has been a full see, and in its vacancy to the Dean and Chapter of the Church of York, or, in the absence of the Dean himself. The said Chaplain and his successors, whoever for the time being, is responsible for the health of me John de Clotherum and the safety of the souls of Tessancia and Alice my wives, the lord Roger, my late father, and the lady Joan, my late mother, and of all my children and heirs, of Roger de Clotherum and of my other brothers and sisters, and of all my ancestors, and also for the safety of the souls of Geoffrey Pygott, Johanne and Elizabeth his wives, his father and mother, his brothers, sisters, and their children Ranulf and John, and of all their ancestors, as well for the health of William de Meryngton, William de Slengesby, Joan his wife, John Bayne, and Mr. William de Plumpton, chaplains, and for the souls of all the foregoing when they have departed from this light, and for the souls of all their parents, friends, and benefactors for the maintenance of the aforesaid, and for the souls of all the faithful deceased, and for the maintenance of the said chantry, or for the support of the same, or for the increase of the divine worship in the same, of the goods bestowed upon them by God, they shall celebrate any perpetual conference under this form.
Evidently, every Sunday, and every day of Our Lady's Sabbath, as the exigencies of the time permit, and every other day at the will of me and my heirs, and they shall do this at any hour to be told to the competent person at which they are duly required by me or my heirs, so however, that on each day on which they celebrate the festival, they should make a special memorial and prayer in their masses for the safety and health of all the aforementioned while they lived and for the souls of those who have passed from this light. And in the event that it happens that the chaplain is not able to celebrate this kind of thing because of decrepit age or bad health or some other accident, he should say then every day, if he can, the seven penitential psalms with the litany and commendation and the aforesaid service for the souls of the dead.
  Moreover, I will and grant for myself and my heirs, that I and my heirs the aforesaid messuage in Clotherum, three acres of meadow, sixty-six tenements with the appurtenances in the towns of Clotherum and Ripon, of which the aforesaid Lord William, the chaplain, and his successors. We will warrant the chaplains against all nations, we will maintain them, and we will defend them in perpetuity, and the said messuages and rents, as well as the said chapel, books, cups, and vestments, bread, wine, lamps, and other ornaments whatever we find for the spectacle of the said chapel, and we will also support them whenever in whole or in part the construction is repaired and reparated in covering or in any other way in whatever way they need, we will cause it to be repaired and even repaired, at our own costs and expenses.
  Concerning the ornaments of the said Chapel, I will and order that every chaplain who has been for the time being in the said chapel, before his death, resignation, or removal, make a faithful indenture, one part of which belongs to me and my heirs, and the other to the future chaplains it remains to be preserved. Moreover, I will and order by those present that every chaplain to be installed in the said chantries at the time of his institution of this kind shall take a corporal oath to the holy Gospels of God that he will faithfully observe everything and every detail contained in my present ordinance, and will also fulfill it, and that the chalice, books, vestments, or other ornaments he will not alienate, mortgage, tear down, or sell the said Chapel, but will faithfully arrange all of them to be delivered to a future successor. And in order that this present charter and ordinance of mine may shine forth more clearly and in future times obtain the strength of firmness, I desire that it be duplicated, one part of which belongs to the venerable chapter of Ripon, and the other part belongs to the said chaplain and his successors and remains in perpetuity. In witness whereof both sides of the present charter are stamped in duplicate, both the seals of the aforesaid Chapter and of Lord William chaplain, and my own seal being affixed to each other. He gives to the opposition of the aforesaid seals, the second day of January, Anno Domini 1358.
  We John, the aforesaid Archbishop of York, by divine permission, having regard to the laudable purpose of the beloved son the aforesaid John of Clotherum, and desiring to grant him a special grace, everything and every single thing contained in the said ordination and chantry ordination, having considered and intimately weighed the causes of the same, their concurring will and by the consent of those who are interested in this case, as far as we are concerned, we accept it, and we order it to be done in this way and to be and to be observed in perpetuity, we decree, confirm, endorse, ratify, pronounce, and also define in these writings, Law, jurisdiction, freedom, with dignity and honor to us and to our church, always save York in all things and through all things. In witness and faith of all of whom we have ordered these letters to be made our letters, which we have caused to be communicated by affixing our seal. Given at Cawode, on the twentieth day of the month of May, in the year of the Lord 1359, and the seventh of our translation.

John sealed a deed on 26 October 1359 in which he is described a steward of the chapter of Ripon, and a description of his seal is found.

Roger was also a clerk of the statutes of merchants and staple in York, from 1308 until 1317.
A study of York’s civic administrative literacy: writing, records and archives, 1272-1377 p93 (Jinming Yi, 2022)
the grantees, especially those for life, tended to assign the office to a deputy to execute. For example, Roger de Clotherholme was granted life in 1308. However, on 23 June 1308, no more than a month after the grant, Clotherholme was licensed to select a deputy between Nicholas de Segewans (Sezevaux) and John de Diddeneshale, because he was engaged with serving the king.300 This suggests that the workload of this office required it to be held by a dedicated individual. The grantees had to be ‘responsible’ for the deputy.301
