      ELMORE AND THE FAMILY OF GUISE,
        By SIR JOHN MACLEAN, F.S.A.,
  OUR attention was first attracted to this subject by observing, when on a visit at Elmore, mounted and framed, and hung up in the drawing room, a duplicate of the original Charter by which John, son of the famous Hubert de Burgh, Karl of Kent, granted to Anselme de Gyse, for his homage and service, all the manor of Elmore, to be held to the said Anselme, and the heirs of his body for ever, of the said John and his heirs, by the payment of unum clavum gariophili at Easter. This Charter is undated, and among the muniments, at Elmore is the original, with the seal, in white wax, attached. The seal is much broken at the edges, otherwise it is in fair condition. On the obverse it bears the figure of a mounted knight, brandishing his sword, his shield, and the mantlings of his horse being charged with the arms of de Burgh: lozengy, gules and vair. A portion of the legend is broken away. On the reverse side are the arms of de Burgh, on a heater-shaped shield, surrounded by the words SIGILLUM SECRETI. Though this charter is without date, we can fix the time at which it was made, for on a search at the Public Record Office we were so fortunate as to discover the fine passed for the warranty of the Charter. It was levied on the morrow of the Ascension of our Lord, 1274, and for this fine Anselme de Gyse gave the said John de Burgh one soare sparrowhawk (unum sparvarium sorum), sorum signifying a reddish colour, denoting the age of the bird, that is to say, a young hawk. It is, however, somewhat remarkable that the fine differs from the Charter in respect to the rent reserved, it being stated in the former to be a pair of gilt spurs (calcarium de auratorum), but that the fine in this particular was erroneous we shall see by subsequent documents.
...  Anselme de Gyse, the grantee of the manor of Elmore, as mentioned above, is shewn in the pedigree as fourth in descent, or great grandson, of the aforesaid Guy. He died on 7th Feb. 1294-5, and it appears from the Inquisition taken thereupon for the county of Bedford, that he died seized of the manor of Aspeley, which he held in Capite of Hawisia, who was the wife of Robert de Greli, by the service of one knight’s fee. From the Inquisition taken on the same occasion for the county of Kent, it appears that the said Anselme held a manor called Ruchille, in that county, of Sir William de Grandisson, in capite, by the service of 31s. 10d. per annum, and suit at the court of the Manor of Derteford, and the jurors say that John, son of the said Anselme, is his nearest heir, and is aged 18 years; but, they say, the same manor is divisible, and that all the sons of the said Anselme are heirs, but of the ages of the other sons they are ignorant. The Inquisition most interesting to us, however, is that taken for the county of Gloucester, inasmuch as the extent of the Manor of Elmore, with all its franchises, is shewn in great detail, together with the value of the same:—The jurors say that the said Anselme held in the ville of Elmore, one messuage, with garden and courtlage, and the value per annum is 6s. 8d.; they say, there is also one dovecot, and the value per annum is 2s. He held there in demesne xvj acres of arable land, and the value per acre per annum is iiijd, total 106s. 8d.; he held there 20 acres of meadow, value each acre per annum 2s., total 40s.; they say there are also there 2 acres of wood and underwood, worth nil.; there are there several fisheries, value per annum, £1 13s. 4d.; there is there one windmill, and the value per annum is 6s. 8d. There are there free rents of assize to the value of 50s. 11½d.; paid at the feast of St. Michael, 38s. 11½d.; and at the feast of St. John Baptist, 12s.; and there is there a rent which is called water gavel, per annum, 40s., paid at the feast of Purilication, B.V.M.; works and customs, value per annum, 114s; which is paid at the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary in autumn, 11s.; at the feast of St. Michael, 17s.; at the feast of St. Andrew, 20s.; at the Nativity of our Lord, 29s.; and at Easter floridum (Palm Sunday), 20s.; and at the feast of St. John Baptist, 17s.; pleas and perquisites of Courts, value per annum, 20s.; total value per annum, £24 0s. 3½d. And the jurors say that the said Anselme held all the aforesaid tenements of Lady Hawisia de Greyli, one of the heirs of John de Burgh, at the rent of unum clavum gariophili for all services.

The following extract from the Close Rolls appears to show that Beatrice was a sister of Nicholas de Crioll, and thus a daughter of Nicholas's father, also Nicholas. I am persuaded, however, that an error in the extraction or translation has occurred and the extract should read "sisters of Nicholaa de Cryoll" rather than "sisters of Nicholas de Cryoll". This view is supported by the entry in the Patent Rolls regarding Nicholas's lawsuit that more clearly states that Beatrice and Margery are sisters of Nicholaa.

      ELMORE AND THE FAMILY OF GUISE,
        By SIR JOHN MACLEAN, F.S.A.,
... In 1313-4 a fine was levied between William de Lamborne quer., and John de Gyse, senr., def, of the Manor of Elmor, &c, whereby two parts of the said manor were settled upon the said John, and the third part, which Beatrix who was the wife of Anselme de Gyse held in dower, was to revert to the said John after the death of the said Beatrix, with remainder to John the son of the said John, and the heirs of his body, in default of such issue, remainder to the right heirs of the aforesaid John de Gyse, senior.
  We do not know the date of the death of John de Gyse, sen., but Beatrix was alive in 1327, for in that year John de Gyse was assessed to the subsidy at the rate of 7s. 3d., and Beatrix de Gyse at the rate of 6s. 8¾d. upon lands in Elmore.

It would appear that Nicholas de Crioll married firstly Maud, probably the daughter of William de Eynesford, by whom he had three daughters, Nicholaa, Margery, and Beatrice, and secondly Joan, daughter and heir of William de Auberville of Eynesford (co. Kent), by whom he had a son Nicholas, a minor at the time of his father's death in 1273. Of the daughters, who inherited their mother's property, Nicholaa married Adam de Creting, Margery seems to have died unmarried, and Beatrice married Anselm de Gyse.

The following extract from the Close Rolls appears to show that Nichola was a sister of Nicholas de Crioll, and thus a daughter of Nicholas's father, also Nicholas. I am persuaded, however, that an error in the extraction or translation has occurred and the extract should read "sisters of Nicholaa de Cryoll" rather than "sisters of Nicholas de Cryoll". This view is supported by the entry in the Patent Rolls regarding Nicholas's lawsuit that more clearly states that Beatrice and Margery are sisters of Nicholaa.

It would appear that Nicholas de Crioll married firstly Maud, probably the daughter of William de Eynesford, by whom he had three daughters, Nicholaa, Margery, and Beatrice, and secondly Joan, daughter and heir of William de Auberville of Eynesford (co. Kent), by whom he had a son Nicholas, a minor at the time of his father's death in 1273. Of the daughters, who inherited their mother's property, Nicholaa married Adam de Creting, Margery seems to have died unmarried, and Beatrice married Anselm de Gyse.

Sources:

Simon de Crioll

Married: Maud de Esseford
This marriage occurred before 18 October 1243, when a document refers to "Simon de Cryoyl and Maud his wife" (Calendar of the Patent Rolls Henry III 1232-1247 p398).

Children: Notes:
The ownership of the manor of Stocton (Staughton) around this time is complicated, but allows us to understand the ancestry of Nichola, Margery and Beatrice de Crioll. It appears that Nicholas de Crioll, the warden of the Cinque Ports, and a kinsman of Simon de Crioll, came into possession of the manor through his first wife, Joan de Auberville, daughter and heir of William de Auberville of Eynesford (co. Kent) and he, along with William Heringauld, representing another co-heir of William de Auberville held the manor in 1265 (Calendar of Inquisitions Miscellaneous (Chancery) vol 1 [Henry III and Edward I] p219). Nicholas and William sold the manor to Roger de Leyburne who, in 1271, exchanged it, for the manor of Ashford in Kent, with Maud, daughter of William de Eshetesford, now married to Roger Rolling (A Descriptive Catalogue of Ancient Deeds vol 5 p195 Deed A.11176). In 1274, Nicholaa, Margery and Beatrice de Crioll are documented as daughters of Maud de Crioll, and mistresses of Great Stockton.

Nichola and her sisters, Margery and Beatrice, are named as daughters of Maud (Matilda) de Crioll (Kuriel) in a confirmation of a donation to the church of the manor of Blaysworth, and as mistresses of Great Stockton, evidence that Nichola, Margery and Beatrice were daughters of Simon de Crioll and Maud (de Esseford) de Crioll.

  ASHFORD, in the hundred of Chart and Longbridge, was one of those manors which was marshalled under the jurisdiction and propriety of the eminent family of Crioll. Simon de Crioll, in the twenty seventh and twenty eighth year of Henry the third, obtained a charter of free warren to his manor of Ashford, and Mawde de Crioll, his widow, died seized of it in the fifty second year of Henry the third, and left it to her son William de Keriell, who, as William Glover, Somerset, herald out of an old court roll does attest, confirmed that change his mother had designed in her life time, and passed away this manor to Roger de Leybourne for Stocton in Huntington-shire, and Rumford in Essex

   WALMER is a member of Sandwich, and so is in no hundred: it was one of those principal seats which owned the jurisdiction and signory of the noble and spreading family of Crioll, written frequently likewise Keriel. The first, whom I find to be possessed of it, was Matilda de Crioll, widow of Simon de Crioll, and she in right of dower was in possession of it at her death, which was in the fifty-second of Henry the third, Rot. Esc. Num. 34. The next of this name whom the beams of public record represent to me to be the possessor of it, was Nicholas de Crioll, who enjoyed it at his death, which was in the thirty-first of Edward the first Rot. Esc. Num. 39.

The History of Walmer and Walmer Castle p43 (Charles Robert Stebbing Elvin, 1894)
Philipot asserts that Matilda de Criol, widow of Simon de Criol, died possessed of this manor, 52 Hen. III., A.D. 1278 [Vill. Cant. p. 351]: while Furley, in his Weald of Kent, mentions that a Simon de Crioll of Walmer was amongst the fifty “leading men of Kent” who accompanied King Edward I. in the Conquest of Scotland, and that he was knighted, A.D. 1300, for his services at the Siege of Caerlaveroch. The truth is that both these Simons belonged to another branch of the great family of Criol, who held not the manor of Walmer, but Cotmanton in Sholden, which then ranked as a manor, and is said to have extended into this parish. Simon de Criol, husband of Matilda, above mentioned, held Cotmanton of the Abbot of St. Augustine’s, by knight service, temp. Hen. III.

GREAT STAUGHTON
This last William left coheirs, possibly daughters, who were represented in 1265 by Nicholas de Crioll and William Heringaud or Herengod, perhaps husbands of the coheirs, who, after the Battle of Evesham, were thought to be rebels. They are later described as parceners of the inheritance of William de Eynesford. It would appear that Nicholas de Crioll married firstly Maud, probably the daughter of William de Eynesford, by whom he had three daughters, Nicholaa, Margery, and Beatrice, and secondly Joan, daughter and heir of William de Auberville of Eynesford (co. Kent), by whom he had a son Nicholas, a minor at the time of his father's death in 1273. Of the daughters, who inherited their mother's property, Nicholaa married Adam de Creting, Margery seems to have died unmarried, and Beatrice married Anselm de Gyse. Before the death of Maud, Nicholas's first wife, her moiety of the manor was conveyed to Roger de Leyburne. William Heringaud, who married the other coheir of William de Eynesford, succeeded his father Stephen in 1257 to the possessions in Kent. William died before 1273, leaving a daughter Emma, but in 1293 the heir of Stephen is said to have been Christine wife of William de Kirkeby, from which it would appear that Emma died unmarried, so that the interest in her mother's moiety would pass to her cousins, the Criolls. William Heringaud, however, had conveyed the interest of his wife's moiety of Staughton to Roger de Leyburne, who thus held the whole manor. About 1271 Roger de Leyburne and Eleanor de Vaux, Countess of Winchester, his wife, exchanged the manor of Staughton, which they had of the gift of Nicholas de Crioll and William Heringaud, with Roger de Rolling and Maud, daughter of William de Eshetesford (Ashford), his wife, for lands in Kent and Sussex. About this time the coheirs of Nicholas de Crioll claimed that the grant to Roger de Leyburne was void, as Nicholas held only by courtesy in right of his wife; consequently in 1274 the escheator was ordered to give seisin of a moiety of the manor of Staughton to Nicholaa, Margery and Beatrice. By 1279 Margery de Crioll and Emma Heringaud were probably dead, as Adam de Creting and Anselm de Gyse are said to have held the whole manor. The question whether Maud de Crioll (Kyriel) was seised in her demesne as of fee of the manor of Great Staughton, of which one moiety was held by Adam de Creting and Nicholaa, and the other by Anselm de Gyse and Beatrice, was brought before the justices of assize in 1286 and the case was adjourned to Westminster, Adam de Rolling being vouched to warrant. The Crioll title became established and in the same year Adam and Anselm were said to hold the manor with view of frankpledge and free warren. By a series of conveyances, the whole manor and the advowson became vested in Adam de Creting and Nicholaa his wife.
